CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR CHINA
National Red Cross Sends
$4,000 for Famine Sufferers.
TFronn The Tribune Bureau. |

au.l
Washington, Dec. 23.-The Secretary OF
State. after a conference with the officials
of the National Red Cross. to-day cabled
the American Minister at Peking to draw
on the association for 5000 for the relief
of the famine sufferers in the Hui or
Wei River valley. Mr.. Calhoun, in dis
patches to the Department to-day, said
that the condition Of the people in that
region was serious. Earlier reports Of the
suffering was confirmed by the delegates
from the province of Anhui to the Chinese
Senate. Two or three million people are
affected. and the situation will become
even more difficult after the Chinese new
year The Anhui delegates were much
Eratified with the offer of American aid
which was made by Mr.. Calhoun. 1t was
at the Minister'S suggestion that the Red
Cross decided to make a contribution i'm
mediately from the emergency fund.
The region affected by the present famine
is one Of the most populous in China, and
a shortage in the food supply is felt almost
Immediately. The possibility that political
disturbance will follow in the wake Of the
famine always adds to the difficulties. The
recent anti foreign disturbances at Chang
Shat were due to famine, and these may
break out again under the leadership of
the political reactionarieS.

MOORE MUST STAY IN EXILE
Doesn t Like New Jersey Climate, but

The Appellate Division OF the Supreme
Court refused TO grant a stay CT Judgment
yesterday IN the case OF Henry Gibson
Moore, son Of a distiller and nephew of a
former United States Senator, who is in
exile In New Jersey because of his con-
tempt of court In this city for failure to
file a bond, as directed by the court, for
the payment of slimony to his wife, Mrs.
Gertrude L. Moore. The latter obtained a
divorce from Moore in, Philadelphia, and
when the husband came TO this city she
had the judgment filed here.
Moore pleaded with the Appellate Division
that the cutting off of the comforts that
he had been used to In his New York home
might deprive him of his life Moore has
an income of $4,000 year. He said that
a physician had advised him that the place
he had selected IN New Jersey as his place
of exile was injurious 10 his health.
The court held that Moore must take his
chances in the climate of New Jersey as
long as he refused 10 place himself in the
jurisdiction OF the New York courts, and
refused to do anything TO give back the
Iuxuries OF his apartment TO him.
The court said: ''The fact that such volun-
tary residence Is injurious to his health
is no reason why the orders and judgments
of the Supreme Court Of this state should
be treated with contempt"

COBB TAKES ISSUE WITH DIX
Says 1t Would Be Mistake to
Abolish Water Commission.
TBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune.


watertown. y. Y. Dec 2S.-The proposed
abolition of the Water Supply Commission
by Governor-elect Dix would be a mistake,
according to George H. Cobb, temporary
president OF the Senate.
sYt would be a mistake to abolish the
commission" said Mr.. Cobb to-day TT
may be that with propriety it can be re-
duced In number. but by law It is in
vested with great responsibility, and such
great possibilities in time Of develop
ynent and conservation Of the natural re-
sources of the state lie before it that it
would seem TO me TO be unwise to abolish
the commission. 1t has done excellent
work. much of which of necessity has been
Of a preliminary character, and it would
seem unwise TO change the entire plan and

purtuuity TO accomplish the real purpose

GILLIAN BATTLESHIP BIDS
Provisions Discriminating Against
American Bidders Nav Be Eliminated

Washington, Dec. 23--Bids for the con-
structfon of the two new Chflian battle
ships will be opened in London on January
10, and 1t is said at the State Department
that the prospects are favorable for secur-
ing modification of the proposed contract
so that British shipwrights will not be
gievn a particular advantage in the bid
ding over American interests.
There has as yet bean no change. how
ever, in the original plan. which provided
that the armor and armament for the two
vessels must be bought in England. Amer
lean contractors. it is said, will bid for the
vessels. and it is believed here that the
discriminatory provision will be eliminated.
