STILL CHING 10 QUEUES.
tPekin Correspondence. New York
 Times

Not the least of China,s problems is how to deal with the queue or with those who still wear it. Most Amer icans are under the Impression that the pigtail, as it is unconpIi fly described by most foreigners, has practically disappeared since the rev oIution. But this is not so. In the South not a queue is to be seen, but with that exception, the old-fashioned coiffure is very much in evidence throughout the land. At present, how ever, an effort is being made to per suade'' men to part with the queue. and in the capital extraordinary scenes have been witnessed during the last few weeks
 While the present adnainistrati on is by no means composed of young Ch-la elements and cannot be accused of Isltra-radical notions. it is felt that there is a potential danger in so many people clinging to the badge of serv- itude to the Manchu dynasty, for the queue was imposed upon the Chinese by their conquerors of three cen- turies ago. The fact that the ma jority of men in the interior retain their queues is regarded as an indi- cation of sympathy for the deposed ruling house, and this is rather dis concerting to the government.
 Several of the council of state cling to the hirsute appendage, and it is lfeH that the government is in an awkward plight so longsas these men refuse to comply with the wish. of the president in this respect. Other officials have resigned and gone into the country rather than part with their dresses, and it is feared that these councillors may do the same. The matter of how men should wear their hair seems a small matter to Westerners, but it will be seen that it is one of great imp portance in China at the present day.

MRS. ANGLE GETS CON INUANCE ON
 LAWYERS PLEA

Implying that counsel for the de- fenSe had not been able to prepare their case partly because the condt- ton of their client was due to hard ships imposed upon her during the coroners inquest by that official aLp d the Stamford police, Judge N. c. Downs of Stamford. today asked for a weeks continuance in the case of Mrs. Helen M Angie, charged with manslaughter. which was secured only after he had been severely arraigned by both States Attor1 .ey Homer Cum ings and Judge William l., Bennett for his statements

 tremely nervous, though not display ing symptoms of breakdown. appeared in court by the side Of her father, Leonard Blondei.
 Judge Downs said he had been un- able to hold rational conversations with the prisoner during her summers s rest in Maine because of her condi- ton, arising from chronic nervous in- digestion and exhaustion, which had been greatly increased during the coroner's inquest.
 Counsel further fntiuated that she had been threatened with arrest if she did not talk and had finally been ar rested ana that a similar, coercive method had later been used to en- deavor to make her talk before she was held as crimina11y responsible in the coronerss finding.
 Tn response to these statements States Attorney Cummings remarked that he was astonished at the crftt- cism, which he charaeteried as url- founded and unjust, he upheld the methods of the coroner whom he com p1imented for the careful manner in which the case was looked into, and said that rather than keeping medical treatment from her the state had even suggested that she be placed in a local sanitarium where proper care could be given her
 Judge Bennett refused to permit the prisoners counsel to go further into the alleged nistreatment of the pris- 7oner stating, sT should hate to think that you were using that for the effect upon any juror that might be in the .room.1
