RED CROSS SENDS FUNDS
TO FAMINE SUFFERERS
Three Thousand Dollars and
Food Supplies Forwarded
Today to China.

The Red Cross is keeping up its con-
tributions Of relief to the Chinese famine
sufferers as fast as donations are receiv-
ed from the charitably minded in this
country. Today it cabled 5000 to the
American consul general at Shanghai,
making $4,000 which has already been
sent to China in this way. The sum OF
5000 was also spent In Seattle for food
supplies. which were sent to China last
Sunday on the transport Buford.
The Chinese authorities are taking
measures to prevent the spread of the
disease They are reported to be liberal
in the expenditure Of money, and have
obtained the services Of a number Of
competent physicians.
Authorities Fighting Rats.
A campaign against rats has been in
augurated both in Picking and at Tien-
tsin. To prevent the Introduction of any
new cases from Manchuria all trains on
the railway to Mukden have been sus-
pended on the section outside the great
wall. and quarantine established at
Shanhaikuan, where the railway passes
through the great wall. This quaran-
tine Is being strictly maintained with
the aid of troops. and European physi-
clans are in charge of the sanitary
measures adopted there.
Other passes through the great wall
also are guarded by troops.
The cities of Picking and Tientsin are
being cleaned and many OF the foreign
residents have taken the precaution to
be inoculated with prophylactic serum.
Progress Of the Plague.
The plague made its way from Man
churia into the province Of Shantung by
the return Of coolies from the former
place to their homes in Shantung during
the months Of December and January.
Floods in the Yellow river. however, sus-
pended traffic on the Tientsin-P ukow rail-
way and checked the progress Of the dis
ease toward the south.

believed that the advent OF warm wealth.

the present.

{ Famous eople
Named Christmas

Christmas is an old fashioned Eng
lish family name, especially in Surrey
and Cambridgeshire. and many people
bearing IL have achieved fame in one
direction or another.
For instance. there was Gerard
Christmas. the famous carver of stat
uary. who hourished in the early part
II the seventeenth century. He de-
signed Aldersgate and carved with his
own hands the richly ornamented por-
tai OF Northumberland House, "A IA
miliar object TO the older generation
OF living I.ondoners.
His chief energies, however, were
directed toward ornamenting and
identifying the ships of the royal ma
w. and the highly decorative style he
originated was continued right down
10 the middle of the last century,
when iron superseded oak in the con.
struction OF battleships.
At his death his two sons, John
Christmas and Matthias Christmas,
whom he had brought up to his art.
succeeded him as official carvers to
the lords OF the admiralty and WORTH

begun
Every one interested in coins and
coinage is familiar with the name of
Henry Christmas, the eminent numis-
matist, who died in 1868. Besides
being fellow of the Royal society
and Of the Society of Antiquaries, he
was for many years honorary secre-
tary of the Numismatic society, to
whose publications he contributed
largely. He also wrote and published
large number Of religious and his
torical works.
John William Christmas C"Jean of
the Iron HANDY was one of the most
famous OF the many English adven-
turers who during the French revolu-
tionary disturbances of 1901 fought on
the losing side.
Joining the Chouans or royalist in
surgents Of Brittany, he soon made
his mark and was Entrusted with the
conduct Of a division by George Ca

GOO loan from an Anglo-F'ranco- Belgian syndicate, strongly suggests that it is from England and France that it hopes the most. Naturally, this is black eye for the rival An glo-Franco-German syndicate, headed it is said, by J.

 The United States and Germany are completely thrown over and the plan seems 10 be to crowd them out of the Chinese game entirely if possible In diplomatic circles here the Wash ington and Berlin governments are ex- pected to be highly dissatisfied. The United States, in particular. is tconsid- cred to have been almost ridiculously outmaneuvered, inaSmuch as it was understood to be counting on taking an important part in settling Chinese affairs, with England as it's strongest supporter

 Confirmation of the Imperialist re- capture of Hankow is still unconfirm- ed. and today the story is disbelieved. Foreign warships are reported to have landed more marines there and for eign residents are feared to be in considerable danger.
 pr. Jackson and A. H. Kepler, the two Americans reported shot in the lighting at Hankow. are now said not to have been seriously wounded. An outbreak here is considered so threat ening that foreign residents are seek ing protection of their legations and all of them are under arms in readi- ness for whatever may develop.
 Both Dr. Jackson and the Rev. Mr. kepler were hit by stray bullets It is not known whether they were fired by 1mperialists or Revolutionists. kepler is attached to the American Presbyterian Mission at Hankow.
 Statements that the emperor has been spirited away and that Prince Regent Ching is dead are discredited.

Italian Troops Driven Back By
 Turkish Forces
Government Fears News of Disaster May Result in Actual Revolution at Home Anti-Militarists Waiting For This Opportunity
Special from United Press ]


 London, Oct. 30-That the Italians have suffered a heavy reverse in Tri- poll and that the army of occupation there is in grave danger, is indicated today, by messages at every impor- tant capital in Europe. Official deni- al-such denials frequently being the first announcements of what is really the truth-is even issued in Rome of a report that the Turkish troops have reoccupied the city of Tripoli after a terrific battle in which thousands on both sides were killed.
 Without going so far as to claim the recaptur of the city. it is assert ed that the combined Turkish and Arab forces drove the Italian Goops back. from their advanced position in- to Tripoli, where they are now in a precarious situation.
 More significant than all, there comes from the Italians themselves, at Tripoli, by way of Rome, an ad- mission that the north African situa. tion hasa suddenly become more cri- tical and that an urgent call for re- Inducements has been granted The Turkish Ambassador in London has received word that Arabs in the Tri- politan interior after being inform ed of the affairs on the coast, are hur- rying to the scene. The rank and file of the Italian troops, it is stated, are so discouraged as to be almost entirely out of the control of their officers.
 Grave danger for the Italian govern ment is seen here in the news of a disaster in North Africa. News of it may be suppressed in Italy by the censorship for time but it is sure to leak out. The anti-militarists have been waiting for just such an oppor- tunity for . demonstration and in the present state of Italian public opin- ion an outbreak cannot fail, it is be- lieved here, to threatent an actual revolution.

UNBORN BABE
 IS CAUSE OF AWFUL MURDER
Young Husband Slashes Throat
 of His Mothers Brother Quarrel Over Who Should be Godfather the Cause-Sus- pected Accomplice Held; Slayer Escaped

A quarrel. over who should be god- father for the unborn babe of the murderer led to the staying of Domi- nic Di Chargiano, according to the latest theory of the police today in searching for Antonio Esposito, who fled after the murder.
 Special Policemen Voccola and Lu- ciano, Italians working for the detec- tive bureau among the countrymen of the murderer. arrested this noon a youth giving the name of Salvatore Scalza- He is held for investigation, suspected of having furnished the murderer with money and aiding him to escape.
 The murder was committed last ev- ening when in drunken brawl Es- poSitO drew razor across the throat of his mothers brother at Esposito's sisters home, 55 Goodwin street just after dusk last evening. Mrs. Sadie Larecchia. an eye witness of the re- volting crime, is hysterical today.
 Esposito's mother and the murdered man were sister and brother. The victim boarded at the scene of the crime with his slayer's sister. Espos- ito's home is at Hallette street.
 The two men quarrelled over plans for the contemplated christening and the elder man threatened 10 eJecl the younger. Then the latter drew the srazor,s and almost severed the elder mans head. He fled at once. Anoth- CT boarder at the house is Scalza, who was arrested today He is sus- pected of having furnished means for the mans flight, and also to have provided him with place of hiding over night. It is believed that he left the city on an early morning trolley car which he is believed to have boarded near St. Michaeps cemetery.
 The police have the following des- cription of the murderer: Antonio Es- posito, feet 6, sallow complexion, small stature, regular teeth, dark clothes, red tie. light cap, stoop shoul- ders and pigeon toed. His wife pro- tests she knows nothing of the crime, and she is in delicate health.
 An autopsy was made at the city morgue this morning. Death was found to have resulted from the shock of the wound and loss of blood. Be- fore Dr. McGoyern responding to an ambulance call from the emergency hospital reached the man he was dead. The police kept both the scene of the murder and the mans home under surveillance all night without result. :,

THE LESSON OF THE
 RICH JOY RIDERS AND
 MOTORMAN PETERSON.

A party of joy riders, return ing home after drinking bout, came into collision with a trolley car. A woman was killed. A girl in her teens was injured for life.
 The automobile was driven by Yale students. They had been drinking, with the women, for hours. They were intoxicated at the moment of collision.
 The trolley car was driven by MOtOrnran Peterson. He was sOb- CT, an honest wOrkingman, engaged in honest labor for his daily bread.
 An inquest was held before Coroner Wilson. It was a secret inquest. The students had veal thy parents. They were infiuent- iaI. They were eXOnerated.
 MotOrman Peterson was charged with responsibility for the mishap that overlook the drunken party. He was lodged in jail, and for a long time could not get bail.
 Some months have elapsed since scapegoat for the drunken, but in- fuential, joy riders.
 He has been discharged upon the opinion of States Attorney Stiles Judson, that the evidence does not show that he is guilty.
 Coroner Wilson says that he no longer believes in secrecy in the conduct of public offices. Is he entitled to belief, especially since he is pledged to carry out policies approved by the Warner, King and Layery combination?
 If any elector thinks of voting for Coroner Wilson, let him think of the narrow escape of MOtorman Peterson. Let him ask what Coroner Wilson will probably do as mayor, when great wealth and privilege stand upon one side of public question. and the plain people upon the other.
