CURSE Of CHINA
WILL BE L|F TED
World Wide Campaign Against
Opium and Other Habit
Forming Drugs.
UNITED STATES LEADS IN
WAR ON POPPY SLAVERY
Celestial Kingdom Greatly
Benefited by the Stand
Taken in America.
BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4--The state
department has instructed the American
delegates to the international opium
conference which is TO meet at The
Hague in May to urge worldwide
fight against not only opium, but NOR
phine, cocaine and all other habit~form-
ing drugs.
The conference was originally intend
ed to discuss the opium traffic exclu
slvely, but short time ago, at the
behest of Great Britain, one of the
powers to be represented at the con-
ference, morphine and cocaine were
added to the subjects. Italy followed
shortly after with the demand that the
conference not only find ways to re-
strict the world IS traffic in opium and
other drugs but the deadly cannabis
indica OF hasbeesh made from Indian
hemp, which is dealt in with SNUG
glers on Italian shores.
The state department, it is now stat
ed, commissioned delegates to tho con-
ference, and Will promu}gate instruc.
tions covering the entire field of habit
forming drugs, so that the commission
ers from America will not only have
full signatory powers as regards traffic
in the main drugs which are threatening
the manhood of the world, but will have
liberty to go as far as any nation
wishes in imposing restrictive measures
on any other drugs.
Two Of the American delegates to
The Hague will be Rt. Rev. Charles II,
Brent, Protestant Episcopal bishop of
the Philippine islands. and DR.. Hamil
ton Wright Of the state department,
both of whom served on the opium com
mission which met at Shanghai two
years ago. Charles D. Tenney, Chinese
secretary of the American legation at
Pekin who served on the commission,
will be replaced by another delegate
whom rumor has it, is to be a person
prominent In American college circles.
The nations which will participate in
the coming conference are besides the
United States, China, France, Germany
Great Britain, The Netherlands, Portu-
gal, Russia, Austria Hungary, Italy
Siam and Persia.
China the. nation which has suffered
the heaviest from ravages of the opium
evil and which has hailed with salts
faction the good offices of the United
States in bringing about aid for its cam
paign of suppression, naturally is In
the forefront of The Hague nations.
The inclusion of morphine, cocaine
and hasheesh as subjects of deliberatiop
has given China satisfaction, for the
reason the traffic in at least two Of
these drugs is moro vital to the wei
fare of the United States citizenship
than opium, and therefore there is no
danger Of the Americans losing interest
in the conference or stepping aside in
Difference to Great Britain from whose
dependencies in India is shipped q great
part of the opium consumed in China
The growing agitation against opium
smoking, and the ban which the United
States has placed on its importation. is
said to have been of wonderful aid to
China IN coping with the havoc made
by the drug.

OPPOSE RECIPROCITY PACT.
Barley Growers and Malt Makers Say
Measure VIII Ruin Industries.

Measure VIII Ruin Industries.
BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON Feb 4.-That the
Canadian reciprocity agreement must
stand or fall as Il whole In the house com
mlttee on ways and means was made
clear today by Chairman Payne at hear
ings that occupied the entire day.
A proposal OF Representative Fordney
Tor an amendment to the lumber schedule
and another In reference 10 a possible
amendment of the item making barley
Tree, were met by the unequivocal state
ment that the committee would sanction
this, the pressure brought to bear on
the committee has resulted in the grant
ing OF hearings TO all persons who ap
next Thursday afternoon.
This date was fixed to permit Pacific
coast lumbcrmon to reach Washington
and make statements. Farmers, lumber
men, barley raisers and manufacturers
OF barley malt were given hearings today
The spirit OF the committee was such,
however. that the witnesses had difficulty
In making a serious impression in pre-
senting their arguments.
The barley malt interests OF Wisconsin
Minnesota. Illinois; Nebraska and Iowa
Bruno f. Fink of Milwaukee presented
their protest against the abolition OF the
30-cent duty on barley: and said IT would
mean the wiping out OF the northwestern
mailing and barley raising industry.
Mr.. Fink explained that climatic con-
ditions were peculiarly necessary in the
barley industry, and that eastern Ontario
would at once capture the barley market.
This appealed to Chairman Payne OF the
committee. who had made a vain fight
when the tariff bill was up two years
ago to secure free barley TO ald the malt
ing interests OF New York.
The mailing interests claimed that the
peculiar conditions OF the trade were
such that II barley is admitted free. east
ern Ontario would supply tho product
and western New York the mailing
houses. SO as to practically control the
market.
Representative Clark expressed the
opinion that Missouri could raise as good
barley as Ontario; but MIR. Fink assured
him he did not know anything about the
technical phases OF the mailing and beer
making business.
Representative Malby of New York at
tackled the reciprocity because OF its agri-
cultural Items and its large duties on
lumber and wood pulp and paper. He
said the board had spent months accu-
muating all facts bearing on the paper
making business. but that paper was put
on the free list by this treaty without
any reference 10 what the tariff board

Heroic
Deed is Done .by a Young:
School Boy at

The Grafton Sentinel gives the tol-I
lowins account az me heroisni or Al
school boy at SIMPSON,
There was q little exhibition Of
heroieim at simpson last evening on
the part Of Master FIarry Davis, a.
school hoy, which saved the life 81
the little daughter 81 Mr. ana Mrs.
shellne, who otherwise would have
gershed mtserably by IRE.
Late Wednesday evening young
Davis IN company with some other
school boys, were on their return
from school and when passing the
home Of MI. and Mrs. Jerome shes
line, they were attracted by cries is
suing from the nome, indicating a
child in great distress.
Young Davis FASTENED into the
house and there found the little five
year old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sheline enveloped in flames. She
had been playing either with or too
near the fire and her clothing be-
came ignited from the b!aze. Young
Davis threw her into the snow and
rolled her bheretn. extinguishing t6e
flames, and to this heroic service on
the part Of the young man, the little
girl probably owes her life.
The little girl, however, was badly
burned about the head, arms and
body; but 1t Is not Thought the she
inhaled any OF the flame. DR.. Chen
oweth was hastily summoned and he
dressed the wounds and ministered
to the young patient, making her as

Mr.. Hartwel was born in North

late Ed Philander Hartwell, was pas
tor of an Old School Baptist Church.
From there he went with his parents
to Warwick, N. Y, later moving to
Hopewell, N. j., remaining until he

ried Miss Jane Il. Hunt, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs Wesley Hunt, of near
Mt. Rose. For a short time he lived
at Patchogue, Long Island, but later

cd for 80 many years.
He was Democrat Of the Wood
row Wilson type and his popularity
was attested by being elected free
holder from West Amwel township
for three consecutive terms, serving
| two as director Of the board. The OK.
| cellent record he had made while in
the board of freeholders put him in
line for higher political honors, but
he chose to retire.
