st. Louis who was in continual war

finest policemen in the world and the
Germans the worst.

An Advanced styIe.

So many of the summer gowns are
designed on infantile lines that the
appearance of the average woman
would be rather droll If 1t were not
for the effect produced by elaborate
detail On youthful figures the result
is charming but the mature woman
should think twice before investing in
q number of the alluring little one
piece frocks, with the baby waists,
baby sleeves and demure baby air.

The model shown in the sketch is
unusually smart and attractive, with

softly falling skirt. The sash draped
about the figure gives a very youthful
effect.

GIRLS As CHINESE TEACHERS.
Not Only Foolish, but Wrong, Says a
Missionary From China.


The Rev. G. T. Studd. who has been
engaged in missionary work in China
for ten years. arrived at New York re-
Gently with his wife.
When told Of the murder of Elsie
Sigel, Mr.. Studd was not surprised.
'There is nothing strange that the
Chinaman should kill his young teach
err" said Mr.. Studd. lit is not only
foolish. but wrong. to allow young
Christian women to teach male Chi
nese. 1t must always be remembered
that the Chinaman has the idea that
woman has no soul. Let young
woman undertake to teach China
man Christianity, and his opinion of
her at once becomes lower During
my ten years in China always taught
the male Chinese, and when my wife
was associated with me In the work
her teaching was restricted solely to
the Chinese women. A woman con-
stantly faces danger when she under
takes to teach our. religion to China
man. The male Chinese has a bad
temper, and when his passion is arous-
ed there is no telling what he may do"
DR.. Sttldd went to New York from
London to attend the conference Of
missionary students to be held at
Mortified, Mass. this summer. He
returned to London from the orient
about year ago.

 At that time it was believed that the bill would pass the house in the form in which it had been introduced, merely providing that prohibition should be established in county by a majority instead of by ai two-third vote. It was thought, too, then that the bill would hardly pass the council.
 There have been some developments in both houses since then. It is stated that if the bill reaches the council in that shape it will pass, but it is now pretty certain that it can not get through the house unamended without the solid republican vote.
 An amendment. it is understood, will be offered, the purpose of which is to preserve the towns from the over whelming temperance sentiment of the county The amendment will provide that the vote in each voting precinct can determine the question only as to that precinct. With such an amend ment it is said that the bill will pass with little or no opposition. There is some doubt, though, whether the tenn perance people will accept it.
 With a law of that kind every town in MarieOpa county with the exception of Phoenix would have gone dry at the late local option election and this town would not have been very far from dry

ROOT OR TAFT L|BELED
This Came Out in a Letter to Jerome Intimating That He May Proceed as to the Li- bel Committed Against a Citizen of New York.

New York, Jan. 31-United States District Attorney Stimson made pub lie tonight his letter in reply to one written by District Attorney Jerome on the subject of beginning an action for criminal libel in the state courts against the New York World because of it's charges regarding the Panama Canal purchase.
 Stimson tells Jerome to go ahead. Stimson does not say that the federal inquiries or prosecutions will cease if Jerome begins an action.
 It is apparent that while the federal authorities concede to Jerome the right to appear as the protector of Douglas Robinsons good name. they reserve the privilege of acting in defense of the reputation of "a gentleman who occu- pied a position at the head of the war department in any federal jurisdiction where the case applies.
 In his letter Stimosn said: Your letter makes clear that offense against the laws of New York state, was com mitted in an attack upon the reputation
 
 of Mir. Robinson. A circulation of si- miIar charges of personal corruption or dishonor against gentleman who oc-- cupied the position of the head of the war department among the officers and men of the army, and the president upon a military reservation in my dis trict. or among the residents of the District of Columbia, where the war department is situated may well en- gage the attention of officials whose duty it is to enforce the law in these localities
 Reference to the gentleman who oc- cupied the head of the war depart ment gave rise in some quarters to speculation as to the person meant An official of the government. who de- clined to permit his name to be used said the statement was intended to re- fer to Elihu Root, who was secretary of war when the negotiations for the purchase of the Panama property was concluded.

RICHARD KRAGGEE FOUND
Child's Wandering of Two Nights and Nearly Two Days on Desert, Unscared, Though a Little Apprehen- sive of the Doggies.

Tucson. Jan. 31-(SpeciaD Rich ard Kraggee. the 4-year-old son of William Kraggee. who wandered away from home eight miles east of the city on Friday was found at o'clock this morning lying in the road in front of the water works four and half miles southeast of town. When he was aroused he was numb with the expos ure of two nights and day and a half and he first said, I'm hungry He had eaten nothing on his travels. He was given food and then brought to the city.
 He was asked if he had not been scared. He said he had not been, all though he was afraid of the "doggie" which kept barking at him at night and coming a little closer. The dog gies' were coyotes which surrounded him on the desert. He was fairly safe, however. for these brutes. unless driv- en by extreme hunger, never attack man, woman or child.
 The little boy in his wanderings passed eight or ten roads leading to Tucson, but he kept a straight south eastern course. The missing child caused the greatest excitement here. It was not learned until noon that Ee had been found and at that time not less than 800 people were securing the country in automobile, in buggies, on horseback or on foot. The yOungster was given all ovation when he was brought to town. He is a remarkably | bright child for his age.

CONSERVATION FOR
 THE WHOLE CONTINENT
INTER NATION MEETING AT
 WASHINGTON THIS MONTH
Canada and Mexico Will Eagerly Take
 Part in the Conference.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 31-Ar- engagements for the North American Conservation conference between rep resentatives of the United States, Can ada and Mexico, at the White House, February IS, are going forward rapidly following the cordial acceptance by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier, and Earl Grey. Governor General of Canada, and President DiaZ of Mexieco. of Presi- dent Roosevelt's invitation to send del- egates. The conference will discuss the situation with regard to the natural re- sources of the respective countries and help prepare a general plan adapted to promote the welfare of the Nations concerned in accordance with Presi- dent Roosevelt's suggestion.
 This International conference will meet at the White House by President Roosevelt's invitation. It will not be a large gathering as was the Confer ence of Governor at the White House last May, or the joint Conservation Conference last December between the National Conservation Commission, the Governors and the representatives of State Conservation Commissions and Conservation Committees of National organizations. The attendance will be limited to the representative of Can ada and Mexico and representatives of the state department of the United
 States government and of other eKecu- tive departments which can render
 particular assistance to the conferees in their deliberations, and the National Conservation commission
 Canada has already taken active
 steps in preparation for the conference and recently sent to the National Con- servation Commission a number of carefully prepared maps which snow the present status of the public lands
 of the Dominion as well as the dis
 tribution of the principal natural re- sources and the development of its transportation systems. The Canadian authorities have also gathered together and sent to the chairman of the com mission comprehensive collection oi
 governent documents bearing on the natural resources of the country These have been carefully indeXed and bound together according to subjects They will be used at the forthcoming conference.
 President Roosevelt feels that the connection between the United States and the two nations which lie to the north and south is so intimate thai they can consider their mutual inter ests with regard to natural resources from the standpoint of the genera welfare of the continent with smal rego-d to the political boundary line' wh. 'eparate them. Indeed. 1t i' tsai6 tt he considered inviting Can ad. i'd Mexico to the first conserva' ton conference at the White House | but that he refrained from doing SC because he was unwilling to run thu remotest risk of asking these two na tions to associate themselves with thu iconservation movement before it wa!
 certain that it was going to succeed Now that success is assured he feel that since the two nations have identl lcal interests and identical aspiration
 they can work together along conser
 vation lines just as the representative
 of the states work together withou regard to state boundaries.

HIS LETTER ID GILLETT
An Enclosure by Secretary Root in Which the Treaty Between Japan and the United States is Given Interpretation.

Sacramento, Jan. 31-The letter from the president to Governor Gil lett regarding the anti Japanese leg isIation pending in the legislature was received today. It enclosed a memorandum by Secretary Root that calls attention to the fact that the treaty of 1894 with Japan provides that citizens of each country may trade in any part of the territories of the other; may own and occupy houses. manufactures, warehouses ; and shops.
 In the opinion of the secretary this does not confer rights either to own or hire agricultural lands but limits the owning or hiring of lands for residential and commercial purposes.
 In regard to assembly bill No. 14, the secretary said it aims to repro duce in form what created so much natural resentment on the part of Japan two years ago. a specific dis crimination against the Japanese in the schools. He said if the bill pass ed the arrangement with the Japanese government would come to an end.
 HI-. Root concludes: ''Viewing in the larger aspect the relations of California to the rest of the union. it is difficult to find words strong enough to charactrize the violation of patriotic duty which would be in volved in such a causeless, objectless enactment, constituting a serious af front to a friendly nation and which would plunge the entire union into doubtful condition and enmity to a great and hitherto most friendly power.
 Presidnt Roosevelt says he has lit- tie to add to MT Roots memoran- dum "The United States govern ment," he says, has no objection to the enactment of a law by California as regards the right of aliens to hold real estate, provided the sug gestions of the secretary of state are complied with as are contained iR his memorandum. Such a law is not in any substantial respect different from the laws of other states Many for eigu countries, including Japan, have similar laws But for reasons set forth in the memorandum the federal government most emphatically op- iects to the passage of the proposed school legislation, and also legislation such as the newspapers describe, as is proposed to force the Japanese to live in a separate residential quar- ters"
 The letter concluded with an earn est hope that none of the objection able legislation will be enacted.

year; of distilled spirits, S4S,S99, and wines, $11,574 in value.
 The articles imported into the United States from Panama amounted, in the eleven months ending with No vember. 1908. to $1,293.S0 in value, of which S757.550 was bananas, and the remainder hides, India rubber, vegeS table ivory, cabinet woods, coffee and miscellaneous articles.
 Just what proportion of this $6O,- 000,ee0 worth of merchandise sent to Panama within the past five years was for use in canal construction or entered the canal zone for local con sumption other than for the purposes of the canal can not be definitely de- termined: nor is it practicable to de- termine whether this $6O.O00,O00 worth of material covers all merchandise or other valuable property sent from the United States to Panama during this period, since any property intended for the use of the commission and going on government vessels would not be reported to the bureau of statistics The British minister at Panama re- ports the total value of imports into Panama during 1907 at S25,250,OO and the value of the exports at about $2,- 000.00G. Of the imports. his figures in- dicate that about sS per cent were from the United States. and of the exports about so per cent sent to the United States. His statement also in- dicates that about S11.00O, 900 worth of the imports are canal supplies. about s9O00.000 dutiable merchandise for general use. and about 5000, 900 for the commissaries of the canal zone
