VII SON AGAINST ANY RE-
 CESS OF |. $. SENATE
President Thinks Democrats Shouiu Dispose of Tariff and Currency
 During Extra Session.

Washington, Aug 14.-President Wilson today informed Democratic
 senators he was unallerably op- posed to any recess of the Senate
 between the time the tariil bill Is passed and currency taken up. lie made it plain that he believed 1t the duty of the Democratic party not to hesitate in it's program of leglsIa- tive reform. but to dispose oi the tariff and currency during the pres ent session of Congress, so that the December session may promptly take up antitrust and other nm portant legislation carving out plat form pledges.
 The president communicated ms views through Secretary TumuIty who got in touch with most Of the Democratic senators and concluded that a substantial majority was m favor of immediate legislation and no recess.
 Incidentally the president LOOK Il strong position on the question oi
 legislative agreements between the Democrats and Republicans in Con gress. He believes that the Demo
 crats, as the dominant party, should proceed with determination, and not trade with the minority,
 The fact that Republican senators
 had informally agreed to speed up
 consideration of the tariff bill if recess was assured after it's pass
 age, prompted the president to urge that business throughout the coun-
 try demanded early action on the
 tariff, regardless of whether any vacation or recess was promised in return.

SLAIN IN
 CHINESE BATTLE
Pillagc in Progress Everywhere Attack on Foreign Concessions at Canton Believed tO Be
 Inder Contemplation.

Cauton China Aug. li -TwelVe hundred were killed in the fighting in Canton City yesterday. PilIage is in progress everywhere. Half of the government troops have joined the rebels, and together they have footed the principal goldsmiths and silNersmiths' stores. Local officials and army officers are powerless, owing to dissensions among them selves.
 An attack on the foreign conces- sions at Shameen is believed by for eien residents to be in contempla- ton, and the detachment of Indian native troops stationed there as a guard was reinforced today from Hong Kong. The foreign quarters serve as a buffer between the rival forces.
 A huge fire broke out today, de- stroying 30 barracks.
 The exodus of the civilian pop ulation continues without abate- ment.
 Traffic on the HankoW railroad has been suspended.
 From Fayuen to the north of Can ton. report was received today of a rising of brigands and from other parts of the province of kWang- Tung news has reached here that a state of chaos exists.
 General Lung Chi kuan-, with his northern troops, has retired from the Canton vicinity.

S90.000 INVOLVED IN
 NILLIONAIRE'S DEATH

Duluth, Niun., Aug. IG.-Nucty thousand dollars accident insurance money is involved in the death of John NcAIpin Duluth millionaire, Iumbcrmau, whose body was found in the basement of his home here yesterday with a bulelD in his head.
 Chief of Police Troyer leans strongly to the theory of murder, as does a private detective, while the family declares that Mr. Me Alpine was accidentally shot when he fell over a pipe with an auto malic pistol in his hand, and, if not, that a burglar did the killing. A basement window open enough to permit a human body to squeeze through lends strength to the lat ter suppOStion.

Southwestern Lines Declare They Lose Money in Transporting MailS-PctitiOn tO Bur
 lCSOn.

St. Louis, Aug l6.-Onicials of r. western railroads. including the santa Fe, Burlington Rock Island and other trunk lines. signed Jele- gram that was sent today to Post master General Burleson urging the government to increase the com pensalion of the roads for handling the mails. The increase is asked on the ground that the volume of mail has greatly increased as a re- suit of the establishment of the parcels post and will further in- crease after August 20.
 The telegram was sent as the re- suit of investigations conducted by a committee appointed by the rail roads. The telegram said in part:
 The undersigned are prompted respectfully to ask you to consider whether the United States govern ment is really dealing fairly with the railroads of the country as to the matter of pay in connection with the introduction and eXten- sion of parcel post service.
 Increase in Revenue.
 The testimony of the posloflice department before the Senate com mittee July D. showed that the first three months of business after the installation of the parcel post had a gross increase in postal revenue of ii.5i per cent, of which at least ! I9.I6 per cent was contributed to the new parcel post business.
 "Ou tine basis of this statement ! lIn -oNerumeuI must have colIect- 1 .d no. less than SlL2j6,SOO in reVe- |me from the parcel post for the 1 |ar,t six months, beginning January
 "To remuneraDe the lransporta- ion companies for the additional parcel post business transported Congress provided. beginning July i a , per cent gross increase in theu mail pay based on rate zones and weight limit in the original act, al- though the additional business amounted to at least 9.l6 per cent according to the testimony of the postotlice department The cNlen- sion of the parcel post inaugurated August i5, when the weight limit was raised from fl to 20 pounds. and mileage increased, is certain Ia result in vast enlargement of 5usi~ ness.
 "Thc government will collect postage on this business, but no provision has been made to pay the railroads for transporting it. Not only will they receive mo compen- -atlou for jhjs increased business. but vii. suffer hc actual loss of earnings previously derived from | This same traffic when earned as IeNpro-~ and freight.
 'Cou2re~- J- in session and can l Immediately remedy this condition l in accordance with su-aestions made by he committee on railroad mai. pay in letter 10 you July 3l. which we endorse"
 O0icial. of the following railroads were included among the signers of the telegram:
 Alrhison, Topeka and Santa Fe; Missouri PaciG-Ironm Mountain; Missouri, Kansas and Texas; St.. Louis and Southwestern; Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific; Illinois Central; st. Louis and San Francis co; Denver and Rio Grande; Texas and Pacific; Chicago and Eastern Illinois.

 America is like China. It faces
 similar evils. But China has
 wiped out two of ifs greatest
 curses. America has not.
 My country had the opium
 problem. Your country has the
 whisky habit.

 garb themselves in hobble skirts
 and frightful dresses.
 In a hundred years China will
 supply America with Christian
 missionaries, even as you are now
 supplying China.-From an ad-
 dress by a Chinese editor at the
 Grand Avenue temple last night
 It was only in few words that Dr. Ng PoOn Chew, editor of the first daily Chinese paper in the United States, in Portland, Ore, scored American problems and manners of living. But in his ad- dress on the subject, christian ity in the New China, at the Grand Avenue temple, put this country several degrees lower in civilization than his own country China.
 China has a new republic, he exclaimed, a little brokenly, but ef- fectively. Tt is founded upon your own, modelled after it, and is slowly being molded into form. How the crowned heads of Europe laugh al us, at our new government and ou1 .gropings for recognilion But WIG are building it slowly If you only WiIl give us a chance we will he liable to work out our destiny in oul own way We have faith in our selves.

Want Square Deal.

Ed itor News:
All the near beer dealers that were
sentenced to sixty days imprisonment
in the Marion County Jail by Judge
McReynolds, have their sentences re-
duced to thirty days, which means that
all beer dealers will gain their liberty
Jan. A. The bottom cells of the jail
have been so crowded that Sheriff
Cantrell was compelled to release what
colored women he had in the top cells
in order to make room for beer men.
In these upper cells were placed nine
of us men who were convicted for
holding a malt liquor special tax
stamp. All of these nine men received
one of the incest Xmas dinners that
could be produced. This dinner was
given by our friends and was appreci-
ated vely much by every man. For
this dinner we want to thank out
many friends very much, and will al
ways remember them in the future
more so than in the past.
Every man in here is coming out in
fine trim and expects to engage in
some respectable work or legitimate
business to try to make enough spare
change with which to pay our fines
and COSTS and to provide few of the
necessities of life for our families.
To the good people of Marion who
have opposed our business, we have no
stones to throw, and hold no i'll feel
ings whatever. And to the two grand
jurors who cast their insinuations on
us while we we're crowded in cells so
thick that there wasn't place to sit
down and not room to turn around nor
lay down, will long be remembered by
us all when we have been released and
have paid our fines and costs. The
view l take is that we have paid the
debt to the state and county, and have
been severely punished for the law we
have violated, and should not be tan
allied by our enemies who have
fought us so hard through this battle.
We ask them to treat us as citizens
and not as criminals, and not cast
any more insinuations on us than we
will be able to bear.

Jasper, Tenn, Dec 80.
