the first onset, the vengeful spirit of the
feudists was believed by those who
know them best to be only whetted.
So far in the local development of the
war, the On Leong Tongs, who started
the fighting with an attack on the leader
of the Four Brothers Society, have the
worst of the encounter
One of their members is dead. while
their rivals leader, Chu May Yen, who
was twice shot, will recover. The second
Chinaman killed here was, SO far as
known unaffil:ated. and was shot mis-
takenly.
By the Chinese Tong code reprisals on
both sides are in order.
The Four Brothers are the most power

They stand for law and order as they see
it. but the Chinaman who ofends a Four

too strong to permit fears that discus

that as the desirability and need are
shown there should be reason in the in

argument before there can be changes
in the schedule. Only q wholesale re-

CLAIMS JESUS AS MEMBER

Rabbi Hirsch Says the Modern Jew

CHICAGO, ILL.,. April 1.-THE modern
Jew claims Jesus for his own and IS
proud to claim him as a member OF his
race"
This was one of the statements made
by DR.. Emil G.. Hirsch of Sinai Temple
in a sermon at the First Congregational
Church in haywood last night
Contrary to popular opinion, the Jew
is not commercial by instinct" said DR..
Hirsch 1T has only been through hun

Senator NeWIands Objects to
Rivers and Harb0rS Bill. {.
FILES MINORITY REPORT
Admits Demand for Inland Water
way Improvement.
BUT CRITICIsEs THE SYSTEM
Advocates Appointment Of Advisory
Board Of Experts to super
wise the Work.

Declaring that the "spoils system is
still effective when a rivers and harbors
appropriation bill is framed. making the
adoption OF a specific project the result
Of the industry and persuasion OF an in
diyiduaI member OF Congress or of
delegation from a specific locality, Sen
ator Newlands today fled a minority re-
Fort to the rivers and harbors bill. He
advocates the appointment by the Presi-
dent of an advisory board of experts in
engineering and transportation lines to
frame comprehensive plans for the de-
veiopment of the waterways OF the ma
ton.
In the beginning of his report Senator
Newiands admits the demand Tor the
further development OF the Inland wafer
ways, but points out that there Is also
demand for the introduction OF business
methods. for retrenchnnent In the fed
eral expense account and the prevention
OF a duplication Of services and work.
Ccast improvements Beneficial.
The senator admits that the money ex-
vended in the Improvement Of the harbors
on the Atlantic. Gulf and Pacific coasts
and on the great lakes has been bene-
fetal in promoting transportation. But
he claims that the expenditures on the
rivers have produced no such Dement'S.
To the fact that the nation has not
worked in accordance with a definite and
somprehensive plan Senator Newiands
Attributes this failure to get returns on
the Investments in river improvements.
No department has been charged with the
initiative In the matter, he maintains. the
Ensineer Corps of the army having been
expressly forbidden by law to make sug-
zestions or recommendations other than
npon specific questions submitted by Con-
rres@. Therefore, he contends, the
specific projects for which Congress has
provided In the past are the result OF the
spoils system,
Just as the spoiis system has been rele-
eated to the junk heap in appointments

says there Is danger that appropriations,

Large judgment Against Railroad.

It's the same Glen Morse case against
the Grand Trunk railroad again and
again Odell Chapman scored victory
for his client with Judgment of $3S5O.
This case was brought by Mr. Morse to
recover damages for the killing of his
young son by train at Corunna sew
eral years ago and has been tried four
times, verdicts being given the plaintiff
three times the jury disagreeing once.
One verdict for 81, 700 was set aside
because of technicality, one because
the jury visited the scene of the acci-
dent without authority from the court.
The railroad company obtained change
of venue TO Ingham county, alleging
that juries in this county were preju-
diced against railroads but MIR, Chap
man scored his usual victory. 1t is
probable that the railroad company will
appeal to the supreme court-that be-
ing the usual procedure.
