THE WAR ON OPIUM
CREATES |NTEREST|N
CHINA AND ENGLAND
Governments Effort to Up
root Evil Meets With OPP
pOsitiOn-England in
Quandary

Peking, China. February 24.--Hun-
dreds of inhabitants of the province of
Fu-Kien have been killed during the
past week or so while Offering armed
resistance to the government troops
engaged in destroying poppy plants.
In many districts of China the peo-
pie have recognized the governments
stern purpose and have themselves
rooted up the poppies
An American missionary, the Rev.
Arthur II. Smith, in letter published
in the newspapers with the object of
stirring the Chinese officials to do
their best in the matter, says China
has made more progress in the fight
against opium than any country. of
which he has any knowledge, has ever
done against similar evils.
Tho international reform bureau
which will confer here March 4, will
inaugurate a campaign of drastic and
united action TO give the death blow
to the opium traffic. Delegates from
all the provinces of China will attend
and an appeal Will be made to the ma
tional assembly to empower the mill
tary throughout the republic TO sup
press by force cultivation OF the poppy.
A demand also will be made for an
agreement between the British and
Chinese governments completely pro-
hibiting the opium trade.

Britain in QuandarY

London, February 24.-The British
government is in q quandary over the
opium dispute with China. Should the
foreign office, as Indian opium mer-
chants and bankers urge, insist upon
China strictly complying with the An
glo-Chinese treaty, which regulates inn
portation of Indian opium into China,
the government would be condemned
generally by public opinion. which OBJ
jects to encouraging the trade in any
way
on the other hand unless action is taken
to make China observe the treaty the
bankers and traders are threatened with
a loss aggregating S5o,0O0,000, which they
might justly call upon the Indian gov
ernment to refund.
The Anglo-Chinese treaty which pro-
vided for a 10 per cent reduction annually
in the importation of Indian opium into
China and the complete extinction of the
trade in seven years, also stipulated that
provinces in which the cultivation of the
domestic plant had ceased. In return
China was to remove certain restrictions
that the provincial authorities had placed
on the wholesale trade in Indian opium.
Complaints have been lodged at the Brit
ish legation at Peking that China has
violated the treaty in almost every par
ticular. Provincial authmorities have held
up and destroyed India opium on which
the high duty had been paid. The British
minister brought the complaints to the
attention of the Chinese government, but
thus far efforts to get satisfaction have
failed.
China's reply is that she is making a
determined effort to stamp out the evil
and already has greatly reduced the pro-
duct.

small children were cremated and
their mother probably fatally burned
in fire today. which destroyed the
home of Hubert Slough, railroad man.
at Oxley, 81 miles from here. The
mother was visiting neighboring
house when the fire occurred. A fourth
child who escaped, sounded an alarm
and when rescuers reached the house
they found the charred bodies of the
three children under a large cook stove
where apparently they had taken re-
fuge. Mrs. Slough arrived during the
height of the flames. She forced her

save her little ones.

the child from accidental suffering and
death, it Is a child movement to lead
older persons to think of Safety First
when near dangerous places. The use OF
the bicycle roller skates and street games
where automobiles, street cars and teams
abound is shown to be the cause of hum
dreds of needless deaths and injuries in
all of our large American cities.
Is an American Problem
1.-THE problem IS an American prob
lem as these conditions do not exist
in European centers. and the chief cause
of the increasing accidents in America
during the recent years is through lack
of thought on the part of the general
public as we'll as the individuals in
jured. The one common excuse or rea-
son given by persons in the ambulance
following an accident is: I didn't think.
Habits of right thinking as well as OF
good example to others will minimize
these accidents.
"The schoolhouse has always been the
lighthouse and is today the power house
that has it's lines of influence radiating
into the homes and it is our purpose
to make it. without any greater expendi-
ture of time or energy on the part of
the educators a lifesaving station, with
every teacher and pupil a lifesayer OF
the safety kind.
"While the movement is largely "a
children's crusade the adults in the COM
munity who care for a safe and sane
iot-a 1ox-f t,..t oi To tIa in
jured' are urged to cooperate. Stereopti-
con lectures will be given during the
two weeks and the employees of several
of the largest manufacturing establish
ments will be reached"
Mrs. Hughes, on the invitation of Mrs.
l.. j. Haley, will reach the members
of the council of the Women's club dur
ing the second week of the campaiS1.
To Distribute Pins and Penns&s
One of the methods of the league which
aims to spread the thought of safety
is the presentation to those interested
of emblems, such as pennant pins, bear
ing the word Safety" and buttons of
a similar design Thirty-fve thousa nd
of these latter will be presented to the
school children and others in the city
and coo silvered pennant pins will be
given to the teachers in the schools
Every school room will be presented with
n felt pennant bearing the word Safe
ty." These will be presented to all OF

RIVER AND HARbOR
BILL IS PASSED

Washington, February 24--The annual
rivers and harbors appropriation bill
was passed by the Senate today after
prolonged fight. Amendments added to
the bill by the Senate brought predic-
tions that the measure would be vetoed
by she President, because they were In
direct opposition to his expressed poll
cies. One of these amendments was
the Connecticut river dam bill which
had been passed by the Senate week
ago. Senator Swanson of Virginia made
the prediction that if this feature stayed
in the bill the President would veto
the measure
The bill as reported to the Senate
from the commerce committee carried
an appropriation of s4S,o91.74 an in
crease of s7,21s,7s7 over the amount
authorized by the House. Several
amendments adopted by the Senate In
creased this sum materially and these
together with the committee amend
ments will be threshed out in confer
ence with the House
The bill of Senator Newlands of Me-
vada, providing for the creation OF
river regulation board TO take over all
river improvement work was also
adopted as an amendment, after 1t had
once been ruled out on point of or
der.
Bill Bitterly Attacked
The bill as finally adopted, was at
tackled in bitter terms by Senators Bur-
ton and Owen. Senator Burton de-
olared the House committee on rivers
and harbors and the Senate committee
on commerce owe an apolgy to null
titude of people for the provision In
the bill extending the jurisdiction Of
the Mississippi river commission.
He said this provision was the OPEN
ling wedge for the expenditure OF tens
of millions OF dollars annually and
while there were some items that were
worthy of adoption, there were many
others that were not. Senator owen
said the measure had been drawn In a
'haphazard manner" and that while
