CHINESE CELEBRATE NEW YEAR

Eureka Of their New Year commenced
here last Saturday night by the dis

congratulations and good wishes.
This New Year, which began at mid
night Saturday. is the year three OF
Song Hung, the Emperor. and the year
1909 since the beginning Of Chinese his
tory. according to the records that are
confessed to embody some traditions.
While there are ouly q few Chinese
in Eureka at the present Tins still
the celebration of the event this year
was marked by enthusiasm and earnest.
ness. On Monroe street, the residence
aud business section of q majority OF
the Oelestials was the scene of con-
siderable activity. Tables were laden
with quantities of roast chicken. roast
pig and q variety of other Chinese
dishes. Around the dishes were placed
sticks Of incense which were lighted,
and the Chinese formally extended
congratulations t each other.
Ock Hing, an oyer average intelligent
Chinese, who has lived in Eureka near
ly all his life, in discussing the cele-
bration of the New Year, according to
the custom of his native land. said:
''In China the celebration lasts for
six weeks, during which time nothing
but necessarywork is performed, but here
our numbers are too few and our
wealth too small to permit Of this. Ten
days is enough for us here. but in the
larger cities where there are many
Chinese the festivities last two weeks,
three weeks or a month"
Asked as to the report that an i'm.
perial edict had commanded that every
Chinese cut off his queue at the be-
ginning Of the New Year, he replied:
ut is no that we have to cut off our
queues. The order is that it shall be no
different-the Chinese with or without
the queue is just the IN He loses
nothing in standing by wearing short
hair. Before it was bad to go back to
China without the queue"
Ock also corrected a common and oft
repeated statement that every Chinese
pays his debts on the New Year. ''Some
Of them do" he declared. "but not all,
by any means. The good Chinese who
cannot pay comes to the debtor and &C.
knowledges his obligation. The bad
n is like any other man who does not
wan to pay. The difference bet xeen
American and Chinese law is this: In
China a debt never outlaws. If / owe
and fail TO pay and die my children still
owe. and il they fail tt pay, their
children still owe. The debt goes on
forever"
Daring the ten days of the celebration
here the joss house will be the scene of
special ceremonies.

CENSORSHIP REMOVED
Report of the Fall of PekIn Is Dis
credited In London

London, Nov. IA lengthy dis
patch from Pekin received here this
morning makes no mention Of the cap
ture of the city by the rebels or Of
the flight of the court.
The statement that the capital had
fallen was sent out from San Fran
cisco and is believed here to be pure
fiction sent out to incite Chinese in
America.
The removal of the rigorous censor
ship hitherto imposed on the Chinese
press is a notable sign of the times.
The native papers publish today with
the greatest freedom long accounts
Of the Hankow massacres, giving the
CORY details and placing the blame
upon the imperahst leaders for both
the Hankow and Shanghai outbreaks.

MOTION PICTURES AID RED
CROSS SEALS.

Motion pictures will again be
used in the Red Cross Seal Anti
tuberculosis Campaign. A picture
prepared by Thomas A. Edison
Inc, entitled 1.-THE Awakening of
John Bond" will be ready for ex-
hibition about December 5th, ac-
cording to an announcement made
by the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis.
The film is the fifth health film,
and the second dealing with tu-
berculosis and the Red Cross Seal
movement, which has been issued
by Edison. 1t is about 1000 feet
long, and tells an interesting story
Of everyday life in New YORK
The leading characters in the
story are Bond, a political boss,
his wife, Grace, and Nellie o.
Brien, aged 1S, living on the low
er East Side of New York. The
O'Briens, a large family, live in a
miserably kept tenement owned by
Bond, who refuses to do anything
to clean up his building for fear
of losing money. Bond is married
and sails with his wife on cruise
for a wedding trip, taking with
him as a deckhand, Geo. O'Brien,
Nellies brother, who has consump-
ton. On the cruise George fails
rapidly and finally dies; Bonds
wife having nursed him during his
sickness and being with him at
the last so takes his death bed
messages. AS a result of this
close communication with George
Mrs. Bond contracts tuberculosis
from him and is brought back to
New York for treatment. On her
arrival home, she sends for Nellie
to give her Georges dying mes
sages, and there Nellie sees and
denounces Bond as the murderer
of her brother, because he refused
to clean up the tenement in which
they lived, or to help secure hos
pital where consumptives might
receive free treatment.
Meanwhile, Bond has been try
ing to find a sanatorium where he
may place his wife, but to his hor-
ror, finds every private sanator-
ium full, and no room for more pa
tents. He then proceeds to the
tuberculosis Society and finds that
there is no public place, because
he voted against it. He tries to
bride the secretary to make a
place for his wife, but the official
takes his money and gives him a
package of Red Cross Seals. Bond
is at first angry, but when he
learns what the Red Cross Seal
means, he writes out a check for
S150,O00 for the campaign and
agrees to support the hospital bill.
The secretary then shows Bond a
tuberculosis exhibit and an open
air school, and arranges for the
placing of his wife and the O'Brien
children, who also have tubercu-
losis, in a sanatorium. The last
scene shows Bonds wife and the
O'Brien children, recovered, play
ing in Bonds parlor, and a COM
mittee waiting on Bond, showing
how his candidate is being sup
ported because he believes in the
tuberculosis hospital.
This film will be shown in thous-
ands Of moving picture theaters
during December, and will be used
by tuberculosis societies all the
year round. The picture is pro-
duced under the supervision OF
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis and the New York Commit
tee on the Prevention of Tubercu-
losis.
