WALLS OF CHINESE CITIES.
TO Be Torn Down TO Make Way for
Modern improvements.

The decision TO demolish the ancient
wall surrounding Shanghai city is an
interesting sign of the times as we'll as
the preliminary to an ambitious scheme
of development.

portion of the city. rampant. which
faces the street leading TO tho old va
men. Tho wall hsclftis several times
wider than the alieyways along which
pedestrians end rickshas make their
devious and difficult way in that part
of the city. The space acquired by the
removal of the wall should therefore
Il used to best advantage, DC OF con-
siderable value.
1t appears TO have been suddenly
discovered that the wall is useless as a
means of defense and that it is an usly
impeachment TO the development and
Improvement of the native quarters.
The work was put in hand immediate
y the order went forth from the Town
Hall works department that 1t was To
be executed without fail.
The first section to be removed is
that stretching from near the ole va
men along by the Great East Gate Ia

moat or creek beneath the wall is to
be filed in and it is reported broad

The owners and Inhabitants of sham
ties on the wall have been ordered to
remove these, and any fences. material
etc, which would impede the progress
of the work. An outcry might have
been expected. since the scheme had
been strongly opposed, the order has
been quietly accepted In fact very

WAS MEMBER OF
FAMOUS FAMILY
STORY OF THE sAssooNs AS Ro-
MANTlc AS A CHAPTER
FROM "a RARIAN
GIFTS"

London. March 2l.-The death of Ar.
thur sassoon, which occurred here a
few days ago. has again brought to
public attention the remarkable family
of which he was one OF the most prem
ment members. The story of the rise
Of the Sassoon family is as romantic
as chapter from the Arabian
Nights"
Abdallah Sassoon, the father of Ar
thur Sassoon, was Bagdad Jew. For
ages the family had been settled In
Bagdad. They had the Semitic talent
for making money and keeping it. and
transmitted the gift to their posterity.
AS merchants, bankers and hnanciers
they waxed rich generation after gem
GRAFTON. Finally Abdallah Sassoon's
great wealth aroused the envy OF his
neighbors and he found IL advisable to
quit Bagdad and locate in Bombay.
In Bmbay old Abdallah continued TO
accumulate wealth He extended his
connections and became as powerful
in Asia and northern Africa as the
great Rothschild family was in Europe.
Several of his sons. including the one
who has Just passed away, were sent
to Ems land to be educated and re-
manned here.
London society did not welcome the
wealthy Oriental Jews at first So the
Sassoons waited patiently And they
hadn't long to wait either. just how
they managed it nobody knows, but II
was not long before the late King Ed
ward, then Prince of Wales, had dined
with each one of the brothers in turn
| Society gasped, but shifted no more
From that time on the Sassoons were
welcomed everywhere. To the time
of his death King Edward remained
FIRM in his friendships and frequently
bestowed honors and other marks OF
his favor upon the three brothers.

State conventions are getting to be
such common things these days that
it is difficult matter to keep track
of them. The Eull Moosers are hold
ing another state convention in Des
Moines today, called for the purpose
of placing state ticket in the field.
Roosevelt will be there to speak. We
believe this action will lose a large
number of votes for the Roosevelt
ticket. There are many progressives
in Iowa who believe in Roosevelt and
would vote for him and the republi-
can ticket otherwise, but when it
comes to leaving the republican par
ty they will be reluctant to do so.
The decision at the first Roosevelt
state convention not to nominate a
state ticket was wise one and
should have been adhered to. The
people of Iowa are republicans, and
will be slow to leave the party. The
placing In nomination of a Bull
Moose state ticket today will lose
many votes for Roosevelt in Iowa.
