SELLING THEIR CHILDREN To Procure Food in the Famine
 Stricken Sections of China

Washington, March 13-That the only saleable property remaining to the starving people in the Chinese counties of Nanhsuchow and Mengchen are their children, which are being ex- changed for food, is the statement of Consul Wilder, in a report to the State Department from Ranking, China. In these two counties alone he estimates the number of starving at three quarters of a million.
 Outside the city of Ranking 100, ,000 famine refugees are without food or clothing, and are sleeping in the mud in the open air. Thousands are even lying in the water the living mingling with the corpses of the dead, which the authorities have failed to remove from the refugee camps.
 In the famine districts, the people are dying so rapidly that no attempt is made to number the fatalities. By imperial edict taxes have been re- mitted in three of the famine dis tricts, and 1t is expected that similar action will be taken throughout the entire famine region.
 Consul Wilder reports that the mon- ey contributed for famine relief is be, ing honestly expended. The American Red Cross and the State Department are cooperating in sending the money contributed in the United States to China, but much more is needed

SUITES FOR Ex-sENATORs
Anxious to Hold Their Marble and
 Mahogany Working Quarters

Washington, March 13-A problem confronting the Monetary Commission and the Senate Committee on Rules concerns the housing of some of the members of the Commission. Six of them who were members Of the Sen- commission retired to private life at the adjournment of Congress on March 4. As Senators they occupied luxur- ious suites in the palatial marble Sen- ate office building and now they con- tend they should be permitted the use of the suites as members of the com mission. Their Senatorial salaries of s7, 300 a year continue as monetary commissioners and they fail to see any prived of the marble and mahogany senatorial working quarters.
 The members of the comm ssion who became ex-Senators at the close of the session were Aldrich, (Rep. R. I.,) Burrows (Rep. Mich.), Hale, (Rep. Me.). Money (Dem., Miss.), Flint, Rep. Ca1), and Talaferro Oem.. Fla.). Appoint like life lines a. few fninutes before the Senate adjourned.

MONTE CARLO MENACED Suppression of Open Gambling May Be Ordered by French Government

Monte Carlo, March 13-Lest Monte Carlos career as a gambling center for the entire world be abruptly ter minated, tremendous pressure is be- ing brought by the Casino interests to effect a settlement between the Prince of Monaco and his subjects.
 The progressive party is not at all satisfied with the constitution which the Prince recently granted and for midable revolutionary movement is brewing. The Prince, on his side thinks he has yielded enough land is standing out vigorously against any further concessions.
 What the Casino interests fear is that so troublesome a situation may develop that France will be forced to establish an effective protectorate over the principality, in which case it Is considered certain that the Gal lie authorities would have to suppress open gambling. The most they have been able to do thus far is to obtain the progressives' promise to take no action until after the present season is over.

The depreciation of the latter. however, is a force which works slowly and sd- been very influential in preventing a more radical decline in prices than has yet occurred''
 With regard to the stock market, MT. Clews says:
 The market at present is in technic- sstiy good position. Our investment situation is unusually sound and there are not a few desirable stocks and bonds which can be picked up at prices which will afford good returns and probably satisfactory profits later on. The speculative situation, how ever, is still involved in more or less uncertainty. The Mexican situation might cause temporary furry. but no serious reaction in securities. The oil and tobacco cases are still subjects of very great importance. and it is realized that an unfavorable decision would probably mean very extensive reorganization and readjustment in our industrial machinery. Tn this. however. there is also litde occasion for anxiety. although the fear that the decisions will disturb good many holders of these investments may cause a temporary furry in values The crop outlook is satisfactory. and with easy money and the fact that many unfavorable influences have been thoroughly discounted. the out look for the market should be toward improvement as soon as the uncer- tainties just referved to disappear.

DEFIANCE OF COURTS
English Nobles Who Refuse to An.
 swer Questions in the Courts

London, March 13-Trouble is brew ing in England over the boldness with which "big men" are getting to defy the courts when called as witnesses In pending litigations. There have been a number of cases of late in which there have been manifest mis- carriages of justice as a result of such individuals refusal to testify The thing is rapidly reaching the dimen- sions of a public scandal. The prob abilities are that the matter will be brought up in Parliament during the present session. When this happens. not only are a number of aristocra tic ling, but several oVer-subservient judges are likely to be pretty severely criticized for permitting such abuses in their courts.
 The most conspicuous of the cases in question was that of King George vs. Edward F. Mylius, resulting in the sentencing of the latter to a years His Majesty. In this particular in- stance there is no doubt that the King was within his legal rights in refusing to enter the witness box but there are hardly any dissenters-at least among lawyers-from the view that he ought to have entered it, nevertheless. Commenting on the royal CldlI1 lIldC WOulu nave been unconstitutional for him to have done so, the London Law Journal says:
 "Hitherto there has been nothing in the authorities to show that a court ought not to accept the personal audi ence of the sovereign voluntarily ten- dered in the witness box
 The case of Robert EEdmondson vs L. g. Amery was another instance in point. Edmondson, sergeant ma ROPr n the ranks by Lord Roberts. He con- tended that his degradation was due to the fact that he knew too much concerning his superior officers mis- mana cement of the battle Of Lille fontein and that they manufactured a case against him to discount his criti- cism of them. Amery wrote his tory of the Boer war and referred to Edmondson as having fled from the field. EdmOndson sued for dam ages.
 nasmuch as the eX-sergeant-maio for was degraded without a courtmartial and solely upon the secret report by the Lilliefontein officers to Lord Rob erts 1t was absolutely necessary for Edmondson to bring out what the na- ture of this report was. No one but Lord Roberts could tell He was sum- moned as witness and from first to last his testimony consisted of practically nothing but the iteration and reiteration of the single sentence: 1T decline to answer" Justice Philli-

Banker Clews takes. in his weekly review, about the view of the mobili zation of military and naval forces, which has been expressed in these col Emns. He says:
 Should the Mexican Government show itself incapable of putting down The insulTection, il may be necessary to call upon American forces to re- store order. Under such contingent cles it is pre- eminently our duty to undertake that task. It is also our duty to prevent aidsto the insurrec- tion from the United States. Mexico is cur near neighbor. American in terests there are very important, esti- mated at a billion to a billion and half of dollars. Our Monroe doctrine Imposes upon us certain obligations which it is fitting we should be pre- pared to carry out. especially as for eign countries might have to inter fere if we did not It follows that if we are unwilling to see foreign DOW CTS protect their interests in Mexico by force we must assume that respon- sibIlity ourselves.

more meekly submitted and Edmond son lost his case.
 "A soldier against whom the gray est of all charges is brought" com mented the London Morning News, "has to wait for more than decade before the chance for judgment arises, and then his case is tried before tribunal which, for good or bad req sons. is denied knowledge of the es- sential facts"
 Earl Spencer treated Justice Darling g not long ago almost exactly as Lord Roberts treated Justice Phill1more. He was a witness in the case of Mrs. Horace West vs. Sir Algernon West, her father-in-law. Mrs. West and her husband separated recently on account of the latter's immoralities. Her fa- ther- in-law circulated the news that it was the wife's fault. Mrs. West sued. It was brought out in court, among other things, that her name had been stricken from the royal in vitation list on account of something told by Sir AIgernon to Earl Spencer who. as lord chamberlain, has the list in charge. i It was important to ina out just what the something was that Sir Algernon told. Barrister Duke. for Mrs. West, asked the Earl. I decline to answer was the reply Justice Darling upheld him and the barrister never found out.

Germany and Japan disavow all connection with the inception of our mobilization of troops on the Mexican frontier Then, the suggestion of American intervention for the preser- vation of peace and or3er in Mexico must have come from Great Britain. It is scarcely probable that our gov ernment would have adopted its pres ent policy unless there was at least an .ntination of foreign intervention.
 There are suggestions from London that. in the event of this country be- coming deeply involved in Mexican affairs. Germany may deem it fa- vorable opportunity to grab Brazilian territory, while Japan may consider the times ripe for a descent upon the muct-coveted Philippines. We do not take much stock in these alarmist reports. though it must be admitted that some danger may exist. Pre- surnably, these possibilities are receiv- ing due consideration at Washington.
 It may be the part of wisdom not uo become too deeply involved in this Mexican affair.

REFERENDUM SHOULD
BE ATTACHED

The question of issuing bonds for surdry public Improvements has been DO long and generally discussed that rne people should. and probably do, understand 1t fully and have reached os.insons upon it. As presented to the General Assembly. the petitions ask for a bond issue to cover the cost of a new East Washington avenue bridge. new Almshouse. new High School. sewer construction. West End police station, and new engine house-total cost s7ss, ,ooo-and for the issuance of s1oo. 900 in serial notes for permanent having. The total of both bonds and notes Is nearly s9oo.oO
 Advocates of these proposed bond issues appear to be exceedingly appre- hersiye of the referendum. They fear that the people will reject them. Surely. if the people whose properties are virtually mortgaged by these bonds and who must pay annual interest upon them and eventually the prin- cipal. are opposed to their issuance, the bonding propositions should be re- jected That is the precise purpose of the referendum-to allow the real parties in interest an opportunity of dcciiinr whether or not they shall be burdened. It is an everlastingly right principle.
 Opposition to the referendum is in effect a confession of judgTnent-an admission of knowledge that a major ity of the voters do not favor such heavy bonding and will vote against it if given the opportunity. The bond ing advocates ask, in substance, the placing of a burden upon taxpayers. while believing that the latter are opposed thereto.
 We have a greater confidence in the people. It is our belief that the voters are well posted and ahundantly capa- b1e of right decisions. But the sev- eraI bonding propositions should be separated so that the voters could, under the referendum, discriminate between them. It should not be pos =ible for one meritorious proposition to carry through with 1t others which are unmeritorious, nor for one un- raerftorious proposition to carry others which may be meritorious down to rejection There should be a division of the pending question
 But. whether divided or not. the ref .erendum should be attached.

BIC BUSINESS IS BEHIND THE MEXICO AFFAIR Rubber Interests and J. P Morgan Want Diaz
 Upheld
 THERE'S A REASON
THERE'S A REASON

New York, March 13.-In we'll in formed circles in the financial dis tr1ct 1t is said that the rubber inter- ests more than the Southern Pacific Railroad or the mine owners, precipi- tated the order for the mobilization of troops along the Mexican border.
 Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island, leader of the "stand-pat' element in the Senate up to March 4th, Thomas F. Ryan and the Guggenheims of this city are the controlling factors in the Intercontine nental Rubber Co.,, $30- OOO,O00 American corporation, which owns and operates the largest rubber plantations in Mexico. This company produces more than 100000 pounds of guayule a month at its principal plant at Torreon and employs a force of several thousand natives in gath ering the staple.
 It has contracts with manufactur- CTS in the United States which are. said to yield it profit of 200 per cent. on every pound of this grade of rubber 1t is able to deliver here. Fear. that the growth of the insurrectionary movement would result in the con- scrlption of it's employes for military service 9nd interfere with the opera ton of the plant to such an extent that England, which aspires to make British Guiana, the worlds most formidable future rubber producing country, would 'wrest these contracts
 
 ental, Wall Street understands, to bring pressure to bear on the admin istration at Washington.
 Senator Root of New York, coun- sel for Thomas F. Ryan in many of his financial enterprises, is believed to have joined former Senator Ald- rich in making the plea on behalf of American business interests for the demonstration along the Texan frontier. In this they are reported to have had the active support of J. Pierpont Morgan. Through the as- sociation of Morgan with the United States Automobile Co.,, the so-called Automobile Trust which he organ ized last fall and which would be seriously affected by any interruption of the liberal supply of rubber re- quired in it's. numerous manufactur- ing plants, his interest in the present maneuvers is second only to that of the Ryan, Aidrich, Guggenheim syndi- cate.
 In addition to the heavy holdings of this group, American capital, az gregating many millions of dollars, has been inveAted in wild rubber Cruz. Chiapas, Jalisco, Guanajuato, Durango, and Queteraro and in the departm ents of Tonala, PalenQue and Soconnoso. According to recent cof1- sular advices the estimated value of the guayule shrub in Coahuila alone is estimated at $65,00O,000.
 Most of the rubber >planta tions are concessions made to those who are operating them by the Diaz govern ment Hence their eagerness to see this government sustained.

IRIDIUM THE ELIXIR OF LIFE An old Horse Changed Into a Young
 and Frisky Animal

Paris, March 13-Professor Gabriel Petit of the Veterinary School at AL fort, near Paris. has discovered that radium is the real elixir of life. .He recently injected two doses of radium of two miligramnes each into the jug ular vein of an old worn out horse and now the animal Is young again to all appearances. It has put on fat, it's coat Is glossy, it is frisky and supple. An examination of the blood showed a. marvellous quantity of new red corpuscles.
 De Petit is continuing his experi- ments which may be of great value to mankind. He refuses to ;alk further on the subject though he says he has found out enough to know that radium administered in these intravenal in- jections produce a lasting radio activ- ity on the whole organism and that the effect Is lasting.
