HIMSELF IN ZINC MINE

Missouri Mining Towns

JOPLIN, Mo, Aug. 3O-This was a
hot day. That applies equally to the
temperature and to the Republican
campaign in Jasper county.
Vice President Sherman, touring
Missouri, found only one cool spot
that was when he entered the plant
of the American Lead and Zinc COM
pany. and rolling up his sleeves
plunged his arms to the elbows in the
"jigger'' tanks, where rushing cold
water was separating the zinc and
lead ore from the refuse.
The visit to the mine was an in
cident in a busy day. A party of
Joplin Republicans boarded the vice
presidents car a little after o'clock,
and when the train arrived here at
7:45 a. m. there was crowd at the
station to welcome the Utica citizen.
From an automobile Mr.. Sherman
spoke in Webb City, CenterYille and
Prosperity, mining towns, and then
was taken to big shaft" of the lead
and zinc company mentioned.
The automobiles were parked near
the mine house, and from his car he
addressed 100 or more miners and mine
employees. He declared protection had
been responsible for the good wages
paid them.

EXPULSION OF JAPANESE
CAUSES ROW WITH CHINA

VICTORIA. B. c., Aug. 3O.-AnotheI
serious question has arisen between
China and Japan, according to advices
received here today.
The new difficulty is the outcome OF
an order issued by Viceroy Hsu of
Manchuria ordering the Japanese tc
leave several towns not open to for
eigners. The order affects 800 Japan
ese, as well as a large number OF
Koreans.
In protesting against the order Japan
maintains China has given tacit con-
sent to activity of the Japanese in the
towns by permitting them to live there
unmolested for six years. During this
time the Japanese have acquired prop
erty interests of great value and If
the order of expulsion is enforced China
will be called upon to compensate the
investors for their losses.
Japanese newspapers received yester-
day complain bitterly against China's
action,

ASIATIC CHOLERA CLAIMS
ONE VICTIM IN BERLIN
Plague Scare AbateS in Spandau,
Where One Death
Occurs

BERLIN, Aug. 3O.-Fifteen cases of
cholera, or suspected cholera, have
been discovered in different sections of
this city and the suburb of Spandau.
OF the total eight were located today
In Berlin proper there has been one
death and nine suspected cases have
been isolated.
In Spandau there has been one death,
The sudden appearance of the pesti-
lence here has caused great alertness
on the part of the health administra-
ton and some apprehension to the
public.
The cholera scare was greatly abated
tonight. The Lokal Anzeiger prints a
statement from one of the physicians
having the investigation of the sup
posed pestilence in charge to the eff
feet that none of the suspects detained
in the suburb of Spandau has chol-
era, and that inquiry into the case of
the house servant who died in this city
last night shows almost to certainty
that he was not suffering from cholera.

GRAND JURY WILL PROBE
ATTEMPTED BRIBE CHARGE

CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.-The Leo O'Neil
Browne bribery trial took somewhat
spectacular turn today, in view of the
opening by a special grand jury TO-
morrow, of charges of perjury in con-
nection with the case.
Throughout both of Brownies trials
there has been a bitter dispute as to
whether Representative c. A. White,
the states chief witness, was with
Browne in Springfield, on the night
of May a. 1909. The state sought to
corroborate Whites testimony in this
connection by the word of the Var
brough brothers, friends of White, who
said they slept in Whites room at
a Springfield hotel on that night.
In opposition to this corroborative
evidence, the defense placed witnesses
on the stand in an attempt to show
that Sidney Yarbrough was in Chi
cago on that night.
1t is said the grand jury will sift
the discrepancy thoroughly.

WAGE SCALE MUCH HIGHER
Mr.. Bailey declared that by apply
ing the wage sca!e of employees in
1901 to the employees in 1910, the sys-
TEN would have saved more than &c.
100000 while the actual increase in
the amounts paid for labor in 1910 over
1901 was S21, 100000.
The difference in the figures show
ing the increase Is accounted for by
the greatly increased number Of en-
ployes.
MIR. Bailey declared it would be prac-
tically impossible to differentiate be
tween the amounts expended for labor
solely, for operating expenses, and for
moneys spent for labor expense in the
betterment Of the roadway. He esti-
mated the direct labor charges as from
45 to 90 per cent OF the operating eX-
penses.
When James Peabody, Santa Fe
statistician, was called to the stand,
Attorney Norton for the railroad, in
troduced in evidence a number Of tab
ulations of comparative figures cover
ing a period of years.
Mr. Peabody declared that from 1903
to 1905, taking 1908 as 100 per cent,
freight earnings decreased to AZ per
cent and freight operating expenses
increased to 170 per cent The figures
We're for the lines east Of Albuquerque.
Under the head of necessary eX-
penses for 1911 and 1912, Mr.. Peabody
declared the Santa Fe system would
require the expenditure of $66,500O00,
the items of expense including:
Terminal yards, $i00O000; track ele-
walton, $3,500OOC; station buildings, $4,-
100000 and other expenditures in les
ser amounts, among which We're list
ed right-of-way and station grounds;
