II compels the national banks in re-
serve cities to deposit 10 per cent OF
their deposits in the federal banks;

central reserve cities to deposit 10
per cent of their deposits in the fed

banks to contribute more than 500.

OPIUM IN CHINA.
Governmental Efforts to Check Its
 Importation and Use.

Picking, July 26.-From Lanchowfu
 the capital of Kansu province, comes
 the report of a man named Hsi, who
 was arrested last February with two
 collins in his possession containing the
 remains of near relatives. around which were packed four thousand
 ounces of opium which he was taking with the corpses into Shansi. It is the custom of the Chinese to take
 their dead in huge wooden collins
 back to the place of their birth. The prisoner was tried and sen- tenced to ten years imprisonment. The case then was referred to the central government in Picking, and the man was sentenced to death. The execu- ton has just taken place. the prisoner being shot instead of decapitated, as was the practice in the o1d>days. The restriction of the importation and growth has caused the value of opium in China to be enormously en-
 hanced. Those who persist in using l it must now do so not only in secret but at prices which only the rich can afford It is now said to be beyond the reach of the poor man, selling as 1t does for many times what it cost ] before the suppression began. In rnents to carry on the grade illicitly, and much smuggling and growing in remote hill countries is attempted. An American missionary, D. w. Thwing, representing the Internation- al Reform Bureau which has it's head quarters at Washington, has been de- voting practically all his time for Q | number of years to the suppression of | the opium habit.
 Thwfng recently stated in a public speech in Shanghai that while Chi nese officials and people have sup pressed the greater part of the traf- ffc throughout the country and stamp | ed it out altogether in some provinces, l the foreign quarter of Shaghai was liz censing more opium shops each year. The suppression in what is known as che Native City had forced theSopiurn traders and the smokers into the for eign settlements controlled by the for | eign consuls subject to. the orders of their governments.
 Comment is frequently made on the | fact that two of the foremost Ameri- can interests in China, the sale of cig-
 arettes and the propagation of Chris
 tianity, seriously conflict. Agents of
 American and British missionary so-
 cieties distribute bibles, and agents of
 the British-American Tobacco Com pany, which controls the sale of cigar 1 cites in China, both penetrate to the | far interior. In some remote little | towns in the provinces bordering Mon | golia, Thibet or Turkeston the only | white men will be two small hostile 1 groups of Americans, of two or three | men each, one trying to induce the | Chinese to give up their little water | pipes for the cigarette, the other ar | guing that all things American are not | good to adopt Generally these two 1 little groups of men are not on speak 1 ing terms.

BaIIard's Circus Is
 Tied Up In WaItham
LOCAL OWNER SAYS DIFFTCUL- TIES DUE TO LACK OF TEAM ING FACILITIES ALONG
 ROUTE
Plans to Take Out the Show Again and Will Visit the Southern Country-EmpIoyes Drift
 ing Back Here

Ballard's Ten and Twenty Cent
 Circus which left Bridgeport under
 most favorable auspices early in the
 spring has closed in Wa1thams Mass, and the stock and equipment of the show has been placed in storage there
 while Dewitt Ballard, the owner is trying to reorganize the show. MT. Ballard is the proprietor of the Hotel Royal in Bridgeport and for @ num- Der of years was connected with the Barnum & Bailey circus and other big shows.
 1 MT. Ballard who has been in New York for a few days, stopped off in Bridgeport last night on his way back 1 to Waltham. He said he expected
 to reorganize the show and had made | arrangements to take it out of New England and route 1t through south ern territory. Mr- Ballard said: When I organized the show it was planned for a two car outfit but when we had it ready to take the road we found our equipment required four cars We had work stock and tn- 1 tended to have local teamsters unload the show in each town and haul 1t
 to the lot. This plan did not work out satisfactorily. We had difficulty 1 in almost every stand we made, in getting teamsters to handle our show and get it on the lot in good shape. 'In number of towns we were un- able to give any matinee performance because the teamsters we engaged could not properly handle our equip ment. Under the circumstances de- terrnined to close the show and store the property in WaItham, until can reorganize and take 1t into more
 profitable territory where we will be able to play every performance billy ed.''
 A number of Bridgeport people who left town with the show have drift ed back within the past few weeks All tell the same story, that business has been poor and the show has not paid salaries regularly.
 There was also a rumor that the show had closed at Waltham be- cause of an attachment brought by some employees who had not received their salaries. The management at
 the Hotel Royal speaking for MT. Bal lard today, denied these stories. He
 said 1t was true that the show had not done the business expected but this was due to the difficulty local I teamsters found in handling the show property.

 THE HORRIBLE DANGER.
 The excitement of which we haur spoken, which is visible in the cirv and will soon begin to be visible fr the States, may take shape in mani festations of hostility against the peo- pie of Woodrow Wilson.
