P. R. r. Arranges to Supply
War Tax Stamps to Shippers

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2s.-on and
after next Tuesday every bill of lad
ing, manifest or evidence Of receipt
for each shipment on a railroad.
whether in bulk or packages, must
bear an internal revenue stamp one
cent in value, furnished by the ship
per. This must be done to meet the
requirements of the act of Congress
as approved October 20. Accordingly,
the Pennsylvania railroad Is sending
to its agents specific Instructions to
govern them In carrying out the pro-
visions of the law.
Revenue stamps Will be sold at all
postoffices, and IL is expected that
shippers will obtain their supplies
there. as the law requires that the
revenue stamp for bills of lading must
be provided by the shipper. However,
as a convenience to Its patrons, the
Pennsylvania railroad will endeavor to
have its agents and conductors sup
o led with stamps, which may be sold
to shippers.
Some idea Of what task 1t will be for
the Pennsylvania railroad east Of
Pittsburgh alone, to see that the laws
mandates are carried out can be had
from the fact that it issues about
$4,000 bills OF lading and freight re-
ceipts every day.

OF unrest they would be wonderful
nation, Mr.. Waldron says.
One of the surprises Of the trip
for Mr. Waldron came during his stop
at Salt Lake City, where he wanted
principally to see the Mormon Temple,
with it's splendid approaches, and to
test its reputed acoustic properties,
which enable one to hear a pin dropped
at the furthest end of the edince, in
which 5000 may be seated.
Irishmen at Salt sake.
THAT temple was all that l was
told 1t was said Mr.. Waldron, but
What surprised me was to find with
In three blocks of it. right in the
heart Of the Mormon district, st.
Mary's Catholic Church, an edifice
which would be noted for its size and
grandeur were 1t not for the nearness
of Its better-known neighbor. Then l
made inquiries and found that Salt
Lake City has almost as many Irish
men in 1t as Mormons."
The Newarkers also made as extern
siVe investigation as their time would
permit of the wonderful irrigation
facilities In Utah and other neighbor-
1 ing States, where the farmers have
converted desert and range lands into
| arabic ground, and at a cost Of
| about from 81 TO s. an acre per year
have plenty OF water for their crops.
1t was here Mr. Waldron found q
condition which might be called de
aged prosperity" with abundant
| crops, but lack of ready money on
every hand. No one was worried by
the situation, but all were sitting
tight for the present and expecting
change for the better soon.
While visiting his aunt, Mrs. Percl-
val Davies, in Fresno, Cal, Mr.. Wal
dron had chance to visit the famous
Thompson orchards, where the grapes
and raisins, as well as the oranges,
are without seeds.
The proposed visit to northern
| Mexico was curtailed, with only a
visit to Juarez, just across the river
from FL Paso. Here the Newarkers
got a C ose view of the Mexican gam
I bling games, which are conducted
openly, and paid visit to the famous
prison there. Everything seemed
peaceful, but when the Waldrons
! learned of the tax collecting habits
4 of some Mexican officials, who arrest
! travellers and fine them whatever
amount of ready money is found on
their persons, the Newarkers decided
to get back into the United States.

CALIFORNIA STILL WARY
OF JAPAN, SAYS E. N. WALDRON
Newark Contractor Tells of Visit Pacific Coast With Broth
err Samuel P Wadron-Bumper Crops but Little Cash in
West Cause of delayed Pro sperity"

Edward NJ Waldron, the building
contractor. who has just returned
from a 10, O00-nile trip to the Pacific
coast and northern Mexico, says the
West has bumper crops but little
cash, while on the Pacific coast the
Japanese feeling is getting even
more pronounced than usual and
practically every Japanese Is under
suspicion.
Mr.. Waldron, with his brother, SAM
uel Z. Waldron, who ia also build
ing contractor, went to the Pacific
coast to attend meeting Of the direc-
tors of the New World Insurance
Company, on November 10. The New
arkers returned by way of the south
ern route, making many short stops
going and coming.
Mr.. Waldron SAID that in San Fran
cisco particularly the feeling seemed
to be almost universal that trouble
with Japan is not very far away, and
nearly every one met had some anec-
dote to relate of the suspicious actions
of Japanese residents of the coast
States. One that struck Mr.. Waldron
most forcibly and was said to be OF
quite recent occurrence was that of a
Japanese who had been employed as
q valet for a wealthy Californian for
quite q long period.
The man seemed to be able to hold
down a more involved job than that
of seeing that another mans clothes
were kept pressed and his laundry
attended to regularly, but he went
about his work silently and uncom-
plainingly with no other thought for
himself apparently than taking surf
bath every morning, which kept him
away from the house between the
hours of four and seven.
His employer had him followed final
ly and found that he went to the
beach, as he pretended to do, but
spent his time sketching the coast
line and making measurements, and
the story went that instead of being
an unskilled valet the man really was
q competent civil engineer.
Similar stories abound, some ap-
parently new and others REVEALS OF
familiar tales, until practically every
Japanese Is suspected by someone
who has an anecdote to relate in sup
port of his suspicious. If every Jap
was as competent as rumor credits
him with being in the present state

Returning Passengers Say
AudaciOus Is in Dryd0ck

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.--Passengers
arriving here yesterday on the steam
ship Lusitania from Liverpool say
that the dreadnounght Audacious, re-
ported sunk off the Irish coast. has
been raised and is now in a Har'and
and Wolff drydock at Belfast under
going repairs.
According to ]. J. Sturgeon. one of
the passengers, this report is gen.
orally current in Liverpool, and is ac-
cepted as true by those in the inside,
@. though the same degree of secrecy
is maintained as to salvage opera
lions as was the case regarding the
sinking of the battleship and the at
tendant rescue Of her men by the
steamship Olympic.
The report is that the Audacious
did not sink in the spot where she
was left by the Olympic but that
other vessels succeeded in drawing
her into shallow water where the hole
in her bottom was patched sufficiently
to permit her being towed to Belfast.

number of local Jewish farmers
associations were formed. By the end
of that year thirteen such organiza-
lions were In existence. Delegates or
these thirteen organizations met at a
convention in New York city in jan
uary, 1909, and formed national
organization known as THE Fedora

BULL MOOSERS"
NOT DEAD NOR
EVEN SLEEPING
Refute the Idea That the Pro-
gressives Are Buried Be-
You'd Resurrection.
Special to the Evening Star.

71sDIANA ~ Aho a4AFHink aAhEs
TRENTON, Nov. 2S.-Regar dIess Of
what others may think as to whether
OF not they are buried beyond resur-
rection, 1t is quite evident from all
that can be seen and heard in the
vicinage of the State capital that the
Progressiyes, those of the Roosevelt
type. do not consider themselves one
bit dead.
Loyalty to Coonei Roosevelt and
his policies hobs up serenely from
the grave the G.. o. P, opened for
and filled with the Progressive party
and then sodded down with q grave
digger's skill. The State Progressive
committee is found, metaphorically
speaking, a resurrected corpse, and
the Roosevelt adherents denied that
we're ever dead when the Re-
publicans thought they had buried
them. They were not even sleeping
or in a trance, they vehemently de-
clare, and laugh defiance at those
who say their funeral was thing
of the past.
The Bull Moose" is ready and
willing to take another fall out of
the G.. o. p elephant, and will be
ready for the tussle in 1916. Then
the Colby wing of the Bull Moose"
army will show the people the kind
of stuff 1t is made of. Roosevelt Is,
of course, the prime favorite Of the
Colby contingent of the Progressive
State committee, and George W. Per-
kins is liked decidedly well. The
committee favors the nomination of
the colonel for President in 1916. and
holds to the view that Perkins is a
true blue Progressive. The Record
Blauvelt Progressives, on the other
hand, have no use for Perkins, and
not much use for the colonel, either,
for the matter of that. They think
the prominence of Perkins in the
Bull Moose councils was in large
measure responsible for the small
vote poIled by the Progressives in SO
many States this year.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-several hum
dred applications of persons who
wish to adopt little Belgian children
or other war orphans have been re-
ceiyed here In campaign initiated
by a Chicago newspaper. These APP
plications are on blanks which make

of investigators, to make sure that
none of these waits of the war will
find unfit homes.
In only few instances have the
original applicants written to say
that after further consideration or
because of the objection Of some
member Of their families they have
decided to withdraw their offers. It
is suggested that in no case should
an application blank be filled out
until every person involved has been
consulted and the great responsible
