amount to S25. 1000, 900. The historic
market place is in ruins and even the
great gate of the Forbidden city has
disappeared. There is great suffering
among the people whose homes were
destroyed. Hundreds of them collect
ed tonight about the ashes of their
residences and searched for valuables
that might have escaped the flames.
In many instances they were mistaken
for looters and fred UPON.
Yuan Shl Kai was still I'm control
of the situation tonight but even his
most steadiest supporters feared that
he would be unable to retain COM
mand. The president has been under
such great nervous strain for the
last six months that II was feared the
disorders in Peking would cause a
complete collapse.
Despite the discouragements under
which he has been working, Yuan
showed wonderful courage and still in
sisted today that he woud control the
situation.
1t was known. however. that he
greatly feared foreign intervention II

other outbreak the foreign section
should be protected even IL the native
quarter was placed at the mercy. OF

"My bill proposes to investigate
the relations of the American Woll.

operatives at Lawrence, Mass
such an investigation is surely no
justified as the investigation of the
steel. sugar or money trusts. The
average wages which the wool trust
has established are even below those
of the steel trust and the sugar trust
and certainly very much below those
paid by the money trust.
"In the textile industry there is
the special factor Of women's and
rhildren's labor. Inventive genius
has made IL possible for capital to
employ women and children where
formerly the work Of men was nee.

under this system the combined earn

greater than the earnings Of the head
of a family formerly were. Yet, in
