Washington, D. C.-The Sixty-frst

In the House Speaker Cannon was

brick at him, TO which the venerable
Speaker hotly retorted that he had
never yet taken advantage OF his age.

In the Senate Mr.. Owen conducted
a filibuster until within five minutes

900 BURNED
ALIVE IN CHINA
A Terrible Punishment of Starry
ing Robbers.
10000 DEAD FROM PLAGUE.
Hundreds Of Refugees Plunderins
and Killing People in
the Famine-Stricken
Districts.

Victoria, B. c. - Rendered des-
perate by hunger, bands of hundreds
of starving refugees are rowing
through the famine-stricken area OF
China, plundering and killing, and a
reign Of terror prevails, according to
persons who arrived here on the
Tamba Maru, which just reached
port from the Orient.
At Kunsham, a walled village with
in so miles of Shanghai, the villagers,
after desperate raid in which stores
were looted and many killed, meted
out punishment peculiarly Chinese
in its callousness to the raiding refu-
gees. A band of more than 500 are
reported to have been surrounded in
compound and burned to death.
The refugees had taken possession
of Kunshan and for two days ran
sacked the stores of everything eat
able, killing or wounding all who re-
sisted.
Many villagers were slain and 9TH
ers were taken prisoners and held
for ransom. When the raiders moved
on to plunder the next village, the
Kunshan people held a council of
war and offered to pursue the fugi-
tives They came up with them in
a small village and surrounded the
houses. The gates were locked and
the houses fired.
The refugees brought five prison.
ers into the compound in view of the
siegers and threatened to kill them
unless the siege was raised, and on
the villagers pressing them back to
the burning buildings, they slowly
hacked the five men to death. Three
other prisoners were tied to stakes
in the burning building and were
burned with their captors.

LORIMER WILL HOLD HIS SEAT
Vindication For the illinois Senator
Twins BY Vote OF 46
to 40.

Washington, D. C.-By a vote oi
46 to 40 Senator Lorlmer was win.
dicated Wednesday Senator Bever.
idge's motion declaring that Mr.. Lor.
inner had not been elected was de-
feated. Soon after the vote was an
nounced Mr.. Lorimer, who had left
the chamber shortly before the yot-
ing began, re-entered the room and
was warmly congratulated by Sena-
tor Guggenheim, the millionaire SEN
ator from Colorado.
The vote on the Lorimer case was
taken at 1.3O o'clock, under the
agreement made Tuesday night,
whereby the flibuster against Mr..
Lorimer was brought to close, with
the understanding that the Tariff
Board Bill should be made the con-
tinuing order of business. This was
the price which the insurgent sena-
tors demanded for abandoning their
opposition to Mr.. Lorimer.
Within 10 minutes after Mr.. Lori
mer was safely seated, and the Tariff
Board Bill was called up, Senator
Hepburn began filibustering against
a vote on the Tariff Board Bill, and
Senator Hale assisted by announcing
that he would keep appropriation
bills before the Senate indefinitely.
To the chagrln of the insurgents. the
Tariff Board Bill was laid aside at
3 O'Clock, and the Agricultural APP
preparation Bill was taken up. There
remain eight other appropriation
bills, including the Naval Affairs, the
PostofIlce and the Sundry Civil Bill.
The Naval Affairs Bill will bring up
the annual controversy over two bat
tleships or one; the Sundry Civil
Bill will bring up the controversy
over the fOrtification of the Panama
Canal, and the Postofice Appropria-
ton Bill contains the provision for
the additional postage on the adver-
tising section OF magazines. ANY one
Of these propositions will furnish am
pie occasion for debate from now
until the adjournment of Congress.
Not a word has been said in all
the negotiations regarding the Reel
procity Bill, so that an extra session
Is still a certainty.

HUSBANDS AS PROPERTY.

Considerable satisfaction will be felt
by mankind generally at the argument
advanced by married woman in a
suit involving another woman that "a
husband is property to a wife and a
family. and to win him away is moth
Ing short OF stealing" So II Is the
husband and not the wife that is the
human chattel." The admission con-
noverts the theory upheld through
generations Of feminist protest against
he serfdom imposed by man on his
domestic partner through unequal mar.
Tiage laws, says the New York Herald.
The honest confession that the con
uary is the case has been secured at
last. but at cost to feminine con-
'sistency which may be expected to
bring its proper rebuke from every
woman's club in the land. The fair
plaintiff to secure her own ends has
proved false to one of the cherished
principles Of her sex. But the truth
is out It Is man who is the chattel,
possession Of whom is gained by the
marriage ceremony and the right, title
and interest to whom has been estab
hshed in suits for non-support or for
abandonment during marriage as well
as in slimony proceedings afterward
His status as matrimonial property
has. to be sure. long been matter

200 DYING DAILY
The Awful Ravaees Of Famine and
Plague in China.


Plague in China.
Peking - Famine and the plague
are sweeping over China. The known
deaths from the plague number 30,-
600, and, according to the official
statistics, the death rate averages 200
daily. Bnt the officials have little
knowledge of the conditions in the
interior, or if they have, they are not
permitting the facts to be known.
There are few or no foreigners in the
interior and conditions there for this
reason are not attracting much pub
lie attention.
1t is impossible even to estimate
the number of deaths that have re-
suited from lack of food. DR.. Sam
uel Cochran, an American, who is en-
gagged in the work of relief, writes:
zone million people viii die before
the first crop is harvested. This will
be scanty, because the people have
not the strength to till the soil and
no animals remain for plowing."

The coming generation, in our cities
at least. is likely to have more live
ly appreciation of the value Of fresh
air than the one that has preceded.
Within the past three years nearly
fifty cities have established open-air
schools for the benefit of tuberculous
children, says the Boston Transcript
Providence began It and other mu-
inequalities have followed on. though
not all have developed the idea to the
same extent. Boston, for instance,
might profitably carry It farther than
she has. Pawtucket, R. l., not only
has fine open-air school, but pro-
poses to have at least one open-air
room in every school building in the
city. where delicate children can re
ceive the tonic influence which nature
so bountifully provides.

THE EXTRA SESSION
President viii Have a Democratic
House.

FlOuSc.
Washington, d. C.-President Taft
in his proclamation convoking Con-
gress on April 4 mentions as a rea-
son therefor only the Canadian reci.
procity agreement. There were many
persons who held to the hope to the
very last minute that the Mccall bill
might be rushed through the Senate
and an extra session avoided. There
were others who declared that the
fact that no official statement had
come from President Taft might ar
que that he would decide otherwise
on reflection.
AS a matter of fact, however, the
extra session proclamation had been
drawn up for several days, only the
date for the session being left va
cant.
How long the extra session will
last is problematical. While the new
Congress may promptly ratify the
reciprocity agreement, some Demo-
Gratis are in favor of Withholding con-
frmation until two or three new tar
iff schedules are ready. If tariff diff
ferences should arise between the
new House and the Senate, the ses-
sion unquestionably would be a long

Mr.. Mitchell's severance of rela-

lows the stand recently taken by the

declaring that any member of their
organization accepting a position
with the National Civic Federation
would thereby forfeit membership in
the union. With this choice placed
before him Mr.. Mitchell decided to
resign from the Civic Federation.
