"CAPTAIN" ETH BUNKOED
BIG BREWING FIRM
Ordered Ale for Chinese Army
AbScOnded With Commission

c. d. Jameson. consulting engineer
attached to the American legation at
Peking, who arrived here yesterday on
the Nippon Maru, inquired solicitously
for Captain" ETH, who arrived here
some time ago and represented himself
as military Instructor to the Chinese
army.
ETH, says Jameson, will long be re-
membered in the orient as the man who
flooded the far eastern market with the
pale ale. 1t happened this way:
Etti procured a fake document ap
pointing him military instructor to the
Chinese army. He presented the docu-
ment to big British brewing firm and
informed them that he in the interest
of the discipline and morale of the
troops under his care had forbidden the
use OF opium by the soldiers of the i'm
some harmless substitute for the opium
After consulting with eminent chemists
he had decided that this particular
firms pale ale would fill the bill ex-
actly. He was promised a large COM
mission.
There are $4,000 men in the Chinese
army and, and later on Etti ordered
enough pale ale for all hands with
smile .or two for the officers
While the ale was still on the water
en- route from England. the brewer re-
ceiyed q letter. from ETH saying that
the Chinese emperor had ordered him
to America, and If 1t would be conven-
lent he would like the commission at
once. He received the money by cable
The ale arrived before L left" said
Jameson yesterday. and pale ale In
the orient is now cheaper than water"

CHINESE EAGERLY
GRASP FRANCHISE
Celestials Using Newly Acquired
Votes InteIIigently, Says
Bishop Lewis
New Conditions Make the Great
Middle Class Factor in
Framing of Laws

China is having its first taste or
constitutional government and accord
Ing to Bishop w. s. Lewis of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church. who arrived mere
yesterday, the citizens of the Flowery
Kingdom are taking advantage of their
new opportunities with alacrity and
are making intelligent use of the fran
ehise which is theirs for the first time
in the history of China.
When the bishop left the far east
the provincial assemblies were holding
their first session. These assemblies
can make no laws. Each assembly,
however, elects eight members of the
national parliament, which Will meet
later at Peking The provincial assem-
blies have the power only to make rec
concentrations which the national par
Lament will make into laws II 1t
sees fit.
To vote in China the citizen must
have an estate of at least SO 900 or must
have been a government teacher Tor
three years. A literary man of any de-
gree and a government official in good
standing are also entitled to vote for
members of the provincial assemblies
According to the bishop this oppor-
tunity to take a hand in the governs
ment of the country was eagerly ac-
cepted by the great middle class, whlch
is the real backbone of China, but
which until now has left the making
of laws to the officers of the govern
ment.
The bishop says that he believes
China to be sincere in its desire to
suppress the opium trade. In the east
ern part of the empire, he says. the
produe ton of the drug has practlcally
ceased and the production in the west
ern provinces has decreased about 40
per cent.
Bishop Lewis will spend about eight
months in the United States and VIII
devote the greater part of his time
while here to telling the Methodists OF
America about the work of the church
in the far east.

False PretenSeS

Four medical experts were called
by the prosecution yesterday in the
case of DIR. j. J. Arberry. specialist, on
trial before a jury in Judge Dunne's
court for attempting to obtain $500
from Mary Thomasini by false pre-
lenses. Arberry, who was associated
with a firm known as Doctor Taylor
C Co, is alleged to have told Mrs.
Thomasini that her nephew, Ulysses
Muscio, was suffering from valvular
disease of the heart, but that for 5000
he would cure the young man.
Drs. John c. Spencer. ES G. McCon-
nell. j. A. Lartigau and Emile Schmoll
testified that they examined Muscio
shortly after Arberry declared him to
be suffering from heart disease and
found that he had no such trouble.
Four experts who have been subpe-
naed by the defense will be called to-
day. Carroll Cook and Lloyd Acker-
man are the attorneys for Arberry-
The prosecution is being conducted by
Assistant District Attorney Louis Ward

ATTORNEY DEFENDS
LOv[lAND'S STAND
Adviser of Merchants Exchange
Traffic Bureau Addresses
Railroad Commissioner
Attack on Advance in Freight
Rates Considered Unwise
for Local Interests

The friends of Railroad Commissioner
II. d. Loveland have come to his de-
fense with an answer to the charge of
Inactivity. They explain that lie re-
Trained from attacking the recent adj
vance in freight rates upon the direct
advice of the local traffic bureau and
Attorney General L. s. Webb Love-
land was prepared to act in case the
shippers SO desired. but it was feared
that the position of San Francisco as
distributing point might be jeopardized.
At the time the 10 per cent increase
in rates was put into effect, Loveland
consulted with Seth Mann, attorney for
the traffic bureau of the Merchants eX-
change. Mann held very firmly to the
belief that an attack upon the elevated
schedule would act as boomerang. He
so expressed himself again yesterday
and in so doing took occasion to de-
clare his entire confidence in Loveland.
LETTER FROM SETH MANN
Mann has addressed a letter on this
subject to Loveland which says in part:
In the latter part of 1908. when the
matter of the contemplated raise in
eastbound transcontinental rates was
the subject of general discussion, you
asked my opinion as to what action the
state railroad commission should take
in furtherance of the best interests of
the Pacific coast in connection with this
rate situation and the threatened raise
in rates
II discussed the matter fully with you
at that time. You expressed yourself
as ready to take any action that the
circumstances of the case Tnight re-
quire. Your long training and expert
ence in traffic matters and particularly
your experience in the great st. Louis
case made you well qualified to under
stand and determine the needs of the
situation.
My advice was that it would be
no less than suicidal to the interests
of the Pacific coast to take any gen
eral action against the threatened raise
in rates. 1t remains in my memory,
also, that the attorney general of the
state of California also advised you
against the institution of any proceed
ing.
Mann explains further that in a pro-
test against the advance in rates the
California shippers would have been
compelled to take the position that the
existing rates were amply compensa-
tory to the railroads. If this were
admitted, he says, interior points could
claim a reduction in their tariffs to
points below the San Francisco rate.
The lower rates to the coast have been
justified on the ground that they are
compelled by the competition of ocean
carriers.
