CHANGE IN STYLE
IS FORCED BY LAW
EXCLUSION OF BIRD PLUMAGE
CAUSES PARIS DESIGNERS TO
IGNORE AlGRETTES.

New York, Jan. 2.-European feath-
er markets have been demoralized by
the exclusion Of wild bird plumage
from this country, according to w. T.
Hornaday, director of the New York
geological park, who has taken lead
ing part in the fight to preserve wild
bird life.
Within ten days after the adoption
Of the tariff bill containing the feath-
er exclusion provision. Mr.. Hornaday
said, the London feather market suf-
fered slump. He added that 36S Of
LIZA lots Of plumage offered on the
market were withdrawn.
Mr.. Hornaday quoted letter from
the Baroness Won Robbery of Baden,
Germany showing the immediate effect
which this country's exclusion law had
upon the feather market there. The
letter in part follows:
'"The fruits of decided victory are
beginning to show in this country. An
article in a milliners' paper--not a
fashion journal, but a circular issued
for the trade-says the fashion for the
aigrette has come to an end owing to
the new American laws and the pro-
posed England bill. These feathers
are now selling in Berlin at 20 per
cent discount.
The Kolnieche Zeitung. one Of the
p. incipal newspapers, publishes an
article dealing with the same subject
They say the Paris fashions are being
altered in accordance with the new
laws"

President Wilson has been deeply

MISSIONARIES IN
NEED Of TRAINING
ORlENTALS WILL NOT RESPECT
CHRISTIANITY IF TEACHER
is IGNORANT.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 2.-Ignorance
on the part Of missionary will not
long hold the intellectual respect of
the oriental student, declared Prof.
Charles r. Henderson of the univer-
sity Of Chicago. in urging better train
ing Of missionaries in social study
and actual social service, before the
student volunteer convention for for
eign missions here today. The object
Of the movement is to induce college
men and women to volunteer for SER
vice in foreign fields.
Prof. Henderson declared mission
aries today were called on to do much
more than preach.
Many kinds Of social services are
demanded by various situations" said
he, mot only caring for the sick and
teaching boys team work in play, but
also translaters of scientific literature
are needed. to act as gr-i6es Of muni-
cipal, provincial and national law
makers who are already aware of the
fact that they must learn from western
science. .M......
The young men who are to COM
mand and hold influence in the mission
field today must have a long and
thorough discipline in science and ex-
perience. This training should begin
in the secondary schools, extend
through college and be specialized in
graduate studies'

II have studied the systems abroad"
DR.. Gould said, "and conferred with
others as to the practicability of it's
adoption in America. In reality, it is
not banking system but system
Of credit and loan. There are 1900
institutions in Germany of this kind
and they are controlled by central

VENEZUELA AGAIN
IN STATE OF PEACE
INDICATIONS ARE THAT MARTIAL
LAW WILL BE LIFTED IN
THE NEAR FUTURE.

Caracas, Venezuela. Jan. 2.-Presi
dent Vicente Gomez returned to the
capital today after an absence of five
months. He brought with him an
army of 1000 men with which he had
been encamped at Maracay since early
August, when General Cipriano Castro
the former dictator, made an unsuc
cessful attempt to bring about revo.
luton.
The soldiers marched through the
principal street and then were drawn
up in front of Miraflores palace where
the members of the foreign diplomatic
corps had gathered to offer their New
Years greetings.
1t seems probable from the indica-
tions given in the New Years ad-
dress of acting President DR.. Jose Gil
fortout that the termination Of the
state of war at present existing will
be shortly proclaimed by the govern
ment. The constitutional guarantees
covering trial by jury, ETC., will there
on be re-established. .. '..

By Last of March

County Treasurer Henry Glenn will
have the collection of $632 2,59O.42 for
Wapello county during the present
years, or to be more specific by
October I.
This was made plain to the county
officer when his fellow official. County
Auditor James F. Stevens turned over
a wagon load of books that will total
ebout $50 volumes of varying sizes to-
day. The transfer of the books is
fixed by law at January 1, but as New
Years day is holiday, the books were
turned over this morning.
Before all of the books had been
turned over to the treasurer there
were some property owners demon
strating the early bird theory, for they
were on hand and anxious to pay their
taxes.
The collection of the SG32, ,590.42 will
give Treasurer Glenn and his Office
staff considerable to do during the
year. The reason for this Is that the
property owners do not all practice the
come early rule and are more likely to
put off the payment of their taxes until
the last day and last hour of the day.

Examiner Hunt ruled that the law

have been sent to the general superin-
tendents and general managers of
every coal company in the state by
James E. Roderick, state chief of

gestlons for safety are not being fol-
lowed out. In case of persistent-viola-

J. P. Morgan Says People
Are Opposed to Inter-

New York, Jan. 2.-J. p. Morgan &
Co. today announced that they had
severed their connection with some OF
county with which they had long been
connected. This step, the firm an.
nounced, was taken voluntarily in re-
sponse to IAN apparant change n
public sentiment" on account of
some of the problems and criticisms
having to do with socalled interlock,
ing directorates" Among the COM
panies from which they retired are the
New York Central and the New Haven
railroads
J. P. Morgan made this statement:
'The necessity Of attending many
board meetings has been so serious a
burden on our time that we have long
wished to withdraw from the director
ates of many corporations. Many OF
these directorships we have accepted
with reluctance and only because we
felt constrained to keep in touch with
properties which we had reorganized,
or whose securities we had recon-
mended to the public, both here and
abroad
'An apparent change in public senti-
ment in regard to directorships seems
now to warrant us in seeking to re-
sign from some of these connections.
Indeed it may be, in view Of the
change in sentiment on the subject,
that we shall be in better position
to serve such properties and their
security holders. if We are not direc-
tors. We. already have resigned from
the companies mentioned and we ex-
pect from time to withdraw from
other boards on which we feel there
is no special obligation to remain Z

With reference to possible situa

the river If crossing is necessary to
save life. In other words it is not ex-
pected to force people back OF the
Mexican side if they are liable to be
shot or otherwise injured on their re-
turn. Cooperate fully with Red Cross.
You are not expected to turn supplies
over to Red Cross but to cooperate
with them in their work to such extent
as may be necessary to meet urgent
needs of the situation with reference
to caring for the wounded.'
Discussing conditions at Ojinaga.
Secretary Garrison today said:
When the fighting first took place
on the Mexican side and the soldiers
OF the defeated party began coming
across the border we, without regard
ITO technical questions of law, and in
the interest of humanity took in as
refugees all those who came unarmed.
We kept them as long as conditions
on the other side were such that we
teit 1t would be 1nhuman to turn them
back. In a general way we kept them
! they could safely be allowed to
filter back across the border into their
own country Those orders have never
been changed, and If properly inter-
preted, the men who have been fighting
on the other side of the border and
who come over unarmed. are treated
as refugees and are allowed to stay
on our side of the line. rather than be
turned back to practically certain
death. Armed men who come over
are OF course disarmed: the arms are
held by our people and the men them
selves received as other refugees.
With regard to what will happen

orders are changed (Which Of course
