NEW YORK, Oct. 25.--With tho
expressed opinion that the present
policy Of the United States In the
far east Is being shaped for the
sole interest Of group Of Wall
street financiers, and that no pos
sible benefit to the nation at large
can result, Henry George jr., son
of the great single taxer, in an ex-
elusive interview with the United
Press today declared that trouble
is certain to result, and the Ameri.
can army and navy may be called
to fight the private battles ~
American monied interests under
the guise Of "upholding American
honor"
Asked his opinion as to what
was the real cause for the resigna.
ton of Minister Crane, George re.
piled:
1.-The war of big American syn.
dicates. l don't pretend to know
more of the immediate grounds for
the state secretary's action than
has been published. Crane may
or may not have been indiscreet.
The thing to note is not that, but
the implication In Knox's state
ment that the government is study
ing recent agreements between
China and Japan in relation to
Manchuria. with a view to deter
mining whether there is anything
in the agreements adversely af-
fecting American interests. To me
this admission is of the gravest
portent. seeming admission OF
the very thing charged against US
in the far east, that the American
government is doing the work OF
American syndicates In getting
concessions and loan privileges
from China and trying to force a
way for them into Manchuria."

SOME TYPES IN
OUR SPOKANE

Most of them are without uniforms,
with the exception Of a regulation
cap. Besides this and civilian
clothes, they either wear a devil
may-care or half desperate look. If
its the first, they have got over
worrying about last fares, collecting
from jammef cars, warning ladies
from getting off backward, etc. II
they wear the desperate brand of
mask, then they are not so old at
the game. or the game has got them
on the run.
Conductors of Spokane are said
to receive fabulous salaries, and
complain because the cost of living
here Is so low that they can't get
rid of their money conveniently.

Disclaims Any Attempt to Evade
Ruling of Interstate Com
MERGE Commission.

Several days ago an advertisement aps
peared in the newspapers of Philadelphia.
Washington and New York announcing
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
proposed to discontinue. on February 10,
the sale of interstate school tickets.
The advertisement stated that this ac-
ton was taken by the railroad company
in conformity with ruling of the inter
state commerce commission. Tile an
nouncement was brought to the attention
of the commission.
Chairman Knapp directed a letter to
President McCrea of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. suggesting that the
company had misconstrued the ruling OF
the commission and that the action of
the commission was not as the advertise
ment had stated it to be-
In response to that letter President Nc
Crea has sent to the commission a COM
munication In which, on behalf of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. he
makes the following explanations:
THAT the railroad company's conclu-
sion and action In this matter was induced
by and is strictly in conformity with the
commissions official administrative ruling
of October 12. 1908. This company could
not consistently. with its settled policy to
observe and comply with the requirements
authoritative orders and rulings of the
comm tsson Hereunder do otherwise than
comply with the said ruling and discon-
tinue the sale of such tickets.
That in issuing the bulletin referred
to there was no thought of diScrediting
the efforts of the commission to fairy
interpret or administer the law.
1T did not occur to that IT was nee
essary to say in an announcement of this
kind that the commission had ruled that
we could issue a 46-trip ticket good for
all persons between the ages of twelve
and twenty-one, and give our reasons
(which | think are obviously for not so
doing. Neither did we deem it necessary
to explain that the commission had only
!nterpre; ed. not formulated the law
therefore we treated the ruling exactly
as we would that of any court whose
order we accept without appeal
THE Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has never to my knowledge attempted to
evade or discredit any ruling of the com
mission. When disagreeing with it's con-
clusonS. it has fairly and openly carried
them up for judicial trial. as provided
for in the law.
while distinctly disclaiming any such
attempt or intent in this instance, and
respectfully submitting that there is
nothing in the company's action Justify
ing such inference. I sincerely regret
that the commission should In any way
feel that we have in the present instance
departed from our method"
