Egg Industry Open to
Chinese Competition

Washington, May 2s Since, under
the Democratic tariff law, Chinese are
shipping eggs into this country to
compete with the American farmer,
great interest has been manifested In
the activity among Chinese egg ship.
pers. RH
The egg business in China has taken
on such activity under the Democrat.c
tariff law that United States Consuls
are making reports on 1t to the Unit
ed States government. Albert w.
Pontius, American Consul at Marking,
reports officially that a big egg fac
tory at Marking is about to be COM
pleted so as to begin operations this
year. He says that Chinese eggs are
either sold in open market or collect
ed by interior agents and delivered 10
the factory or to the exporter.
The important egg producing dis
trict of China, he reports comprises
the Yellow River and the Yang;zc
River Provinces and that the season
Of greatest production is from TeOsu-
airy TO May. He says therce is a local
airy to May. He says there is local
which purchases eggs much below
the market price. He says this fac
tory paid from eight to ten cents n
dozen last October.
For local shipping. Mr.. Pontius re-
ports that eggs are packed in bamboo
crates with sawdust or straw. He
says they are canned at Marking and
Hankow by h foreign corporation and
shipped to Europe. He says he is In
formed that all grades OF eggs and
all kinds Of domesticated fowls are
used for this purpose. Refrigeration
service, he says, can be obtained OF
China to the United States. The Han
kow factory mentioned above Keeps
in operation through the year by han
ding game, poultry, feathers, beans
and skins.
The American Consul reports that
workmen in these egg factories re

but their selling agencies are now at
work and foreigners are reaching in
to American territory from seaboard
points. To meet this competition We
must reduce labor costs as we cannot
pay protective tariff wages on a free
trade basis.
Mr.. Campbell says tariff reductions
are largely responsible for the pres
ent conditions In the iron and stee.

WHERE HASTE MAKES WASTE

There's nothing like news.
It's what we're all after,
To air some mans views
For approval or laughter.
But 1t isn't quite safe
In your seeking for beats
To tell what the court did
Before the court meets.
The Judge may not like It,.
And IL thus he should feel
He's likely to fine you
Without an appeal.
There's many a writer
Has convicted h man
And sent him to prison
Fer his trial began.
The decision that's rendered
It's proper to state,
But until the things over
Kind reader must wait. "

JEWISH BAKERS HAVE
- GOOD UNION IN TORONTO

TORONTO, Can, Jan. o. The
members rof the Jewish Bakers union
here are receiving a higher rate Of
wages and better conditions than the
GENTLE bakers, This is accounted for
by the fact that the Jewish Bakers
belong to their accredited interna-
tional organization, while many Of
the Gentle bakers have an organi-
cation purely local in character.
This statement indicates the differ
ence existing between local union
that affiliates with the general move
ment. and one that does not. The
Jewish organization is considered to
be. one of the best in the city.

SEATTLE Jan. .,9.-After a strug-
gle that commenced last June the
Transfers union has won the fight
against a number of transfer COM
panies for an increase in wages and
better working condition. An agree
ment has been reached in which was
embodied all the demands made by
the Transfers.
Since the differences have been ad-
justed many of the transfer oompan-
les acknowledge that they made a
mistake when they decided to adopt
the open shop policy, they having been
led into the scheme by specious ar
gumepts of certain individuals who
desired to start a fight against or
ganized labor. ~.

BARS ALL FOREIGNERS

VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 9.-An or
der in council has been promulgated
by the British Columbia government,
prohibiting until March 81 entry to
the province of all artisans and la
borers.
The order is not restricted to any
particular race. The reason for this
order is the congestion of labor on
the Pacific coast. The matter was
brought,lto a head by the Hindu ques-
ton arising out of the judgment of
Chief Justice Hunter, of British CO.
lumbia, which declared, in effect, that
restrictions heretofore imposed by the
government in respect to immigration
of this class were not constitutionally
operative.

ARMY SCANDAL IS NEAR.
British Officers and Civilians Sum-
moned in Case Arising
Over Canteens.

LONDON. January a-Summonses
against sixteen British army officers and
civilians were granted today by the
police magistrate at the Bow street
court. The men are called to appear
January II to answer charges in con-
nection with the management Of the
canteens in army barracks. 1t is hinted
that scandal of tremendous proper
tons will be revealed in the inquiry
which will be begun on that date.
No names or particulars of the charges
were given out for publication today,
but it is known generally that the army
officers concerned belong to the quar-
ternaster's department, and that all of
.hem have risen from the ranks. The
civilians summoned to appear are clerks
employed by contractors.
Systematic bribery is alleged to have
been prevalent for some time A secret
army inquiry showed such widespread
that the war Office decided
to turn its evidence to the regularly
constituted legal authorities. War Of
fee officials feared that the court-mar-
tia1 which they had proposed to call
would not have jurisdiction sufficiently
wide to deal properly with the scandal.

Georgetown Heights, Soon
to Be ObIiterated.
HOUSE BUILT IN 1904
BY RICHARD PARROTT
Scene of Lavish Hospitality and
Many Fashionable Gatherings
in Past Years.

Another landmark of the District is
doomed to destruction. It is the old
manor house in Montrose Park, on the
heights of Georgetown, picturesquely
located between Oak Hill cemeery and
Lovers lane The park extends from r
street to the valley of Rock creek, just
south of the culvert under Massachusetts,
avenue. The mansion was built in 1904
by Richard Parrott one of the pioneers
of that section of the District. Since
then it has been owned and occupied by
several prominent families, and has been
the scene of lavish hospitality and many
fashionable gatherings. The estate, which
covers an area of about sixteen acres,
was improved with gardens and pavilions,
and early in the last century the main
road through the grounds was used as
a ropewalk-at that time an important
industry.
On the recommendation of Col. Harts,
the engineer officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds Henry S. Breckin-
ridge, assistant secretary of war, has
authorized the removal of the building.
Col. Harts reported that the building.
which is a tWo-story brick affair, is in a
dilapidated and dangerous condition. The
roof has fallen in, he says, and the struc-
ture is falling to pieces for lack of re-
pairs. 1t has been vacant for many
years, and could not be put in condition
for any use, he says, without the ex-
penditure of a considerable amount of
money,

Purchase Price, $4,000.

This property was purchased by the
government in June, 1911, for the sum of
$4,000 for use as public park. It is
a part of the tract known as the Rock
of Dunbarton," which was patented under
the great seal Of the province of Mary
land to Ninian Beall in 1903 In 1904
Thomas Beali. a descendant Of the paten-
tee, conveyed the property to Richard
Parrott, who erected the house now on
the property and laid out the grounds
and gardens. He was large landholder
and owned ais othe ground on the east
of Montrose. which, since 1919, has been
part of Oak Hill cemetery. but then was
known rs PARROTS woods Fourth Of
July celebrations We're held there for
many years.
During Mr.. Parrotts ownership rope
was in great demand by the numerous
vessels which traded with Georgetown in
those days. To meet that demand Mr.
Parrott utilized the long straight path
way between the dwelling house and the
gardeners house at the edge of the bluff.
on the north, as a rope walk, and the
path has ever since been known by that
name. This rope walk is mentioned in
the deed executed in 1904. and the dwell
ing. garden and rope walk in asdeed exc
cuted in 1917. Mr.. PARROT died in 1922
and in his will described himself as
"Richard Parrott of Elderslie, adjoining
George Town" That indicates that the
place formerly bore the name Elderslie
When the name Montrose was adopted
is not shown in the records.
Subsequently the estate became much
involved and Montrose was sold, under a
decree in chancery, to Clement Smith in
