thing on the eve of a city election.

thing on the eve of city election. to restore the faith of the people in its representatives. The all dermen cannot afford to do this thing on the eve of a city election. They would assuredly increase the general distrust which has al ready assumed dangerous propor- tions and the consequences are sure to be disastrous to both Democrats and Republicans. Let the. incoming Council accept or reject the Herring plan at it's leisure. It will have ample time to examine the finding of the present sewer committee, and with patience 1t ought to be able to arrive at sensible conclusion.
 The view of the esteemed Telegram upon this important question is in every way commendable. It should be remembered that the Herring sys- tenn as first produced called for pay ments, principle and interest, of $6,- 900, ,0O0. It was solemnly declared that the city must spend $1, 750, 900 upon it's sewer system within five years there after, and following this great outlay, must soon put into the system enough moEe to raise the outlay to $3,000,O00.
 The earlier plan has been abandoned by it's creators. They confess they were mistaken in advising the city to spend such eXtravagant sums. The danger of the present plan is that it may be used at any time when the right people have control ofsthe city government to put the original plan through. The Telegram does wisely to warn the public against the dan gerous proposition

TING FANG KEEPS
 UP WITH TIMES.


 Washington, Nov. 6-Wu Ting Fang, minister of the new Chinese govern ment, is one of the most widely trav- elled. best educated and most enlight- ened Chinese official
 After studying in the British schools, he went to Oxford, finally returning home to accept a high office under the imperial government. He was first assigned to the Washington le- gation in 1897 Tn 1902 he was re- called to Pekin and it was reported his government considered he had be- come too much Occidentalized. In 1908 he served as minister again until the fall of 1909, when he was recalled a second time to Pekin to take charge of the reorganization of the various governmental departments. The 1m- perial advisers evidently suspect him of two much western ideas. Of late he has been living in practical retire. ment in Shanghai.
 What is a statesman"' he asked historically, just before his departure from Washington to China for the sec ond time. 'sOne who keeps up with the times.
 Dr. Wu openly admired American institutions and freely predicted many times that, sooner or later, constitu- tionaI government in China was bound to come He was recently quot ed in a Shanghai interview to the eff feet that China did not want foreign intervention in it's domestic affairs. Whenever outsiders had intervened in the past, he pointed out, it cost China heavily in money and eterritory with out any appreciable g6od results.

Detective Burns to
 Provide Evidence For What is Lost
He's Now in Indianapolis and Prosecutor Has Utmost Con- fidence in Him Making Good in McNamara Case
(specia1 from United Press)

tSU0Cldl 1IOI1 OullCQ ICSoJ
 Los Angeles, Nov. 6-Detectiye Will liam J. Burns will provide evidence to take the place of that which may be lost to the State in the McNamara case because the authorities at In- dianapolis refuse to fall into the all legged scheme whereby all the evidence seized by Burns at Indianapolis and most of which the international off1- cers of the structural ironworkers in- sist. was "plainted", was to be trans ferfed here.
 Persons who are close to the prose cution profess the utmost confidence today that Burns, who is in Indian apolis, has too much at stake now and will come to the rescue of the State s case which is admittedly endangered by the Indianapolis developments. General Otis, ins the Times, announced today that following an admission by friends of the district attorney that the Indianapolis developments had hampered him, the prosecution has discovered several new links in the chain of circumstantial evidence they are preparing.

Washington Letter
Rv c. H Tavenner.l ]


 Washington, Nov 6-The Democratic leaving no stone unturned to keep the House of Representatives safely Dem ocratic.
 The headquarters Of this organiza- ton in Washington have not been closed during the entire summer Con- gressman James T. Lloyd of Missouri, chairman Of the committee, is per- sonally lon the job", prosecuting d vigorous campaign of organiza tiOn work, directing the dissemination of facts showing what the Democratic House has already accomplished; in purpose of the Democratic program, and in all legitimate ways doing ev- erything he can to bring about na- tional Democratic harmony and CO., operation.
 Mr. Lloyd has more than anticipated the ideal of campaign publicity legis- lation by making it a strict rule to see that every dollar that has been intrusted to the committee has been honestly spent. Under his manage ment there has been no entertain ment'' fund, or anything of that or der. No "junkets" have been fnanc- ed out of the funds at his disposal. From the first MT. Lloyd has been de- termined that the methods of the committee should conform to the high est standard of business morals.
 A feature of the committee work in which MT. Lloyd takes a deep inter- est is the publicity bureau, which is the largest bureau of it's kind that the . Democrats have ever maintained in the national capital. Encouraged by the bright prospects confronting the Democracy of the nation, the Demo S cratic editors of the country are us- ing generously of the information sent out by the bureau. More than two thousand newspapers are regularly printing the letters sent out by the committee. thus keeping the Demo- cratic viewpoint constantly before the country.
 TAFT ECONOMY,
 Under the Taft policy of "cut to the quici- economy, which was much talked about when MT. Taft first went into office, the government overspent its revenues during the first thirty days of October by s4,64s,694. z Thus far this fiscal year, which began July l. the expenditures of the government have exceeded the receipts by more than 300 900. which is $s.OOO. 900 heavier than the deficit on the corre- spending date last fiscsl year. The mad moneyspending campaign which is responsible for this state of affairs was feature of the legislative pro- gram of the last Republican Con- gress.

 That J. P. Morgans grip on the financial situation is becoming more and more absolute is indicated by the discovery of the Stanley committee that the cash balance of the steel Trust, which he dominates, and of the railroads and other industrial corpora tions in which he controls heavy in terests, amounting in all to over half az billion dollars, is on deposit in the office of J.
