CHINA'S MOST ANCIENT CITY
sianfu Believed to Have Been a
Metropolis Two Thousand Years
Before Rome.

Sianfu is probably the most vener.
ablo city in China. and perhaps has
had longer continuous existence
than Athens and Luxor The Chinese
themselves believe with some warranty
that it was 1ourishing 1000 years be.
fore Rome was founded. On the one
hand its story touches the first ap.
pearance of the Chinese race; on the
other, it was again brought into fore.
front Of Chinese history when the
late Empress Dowager Tzuhsi sought
within its wall a refuge from the
troops of the allies. 1t has been the
stronghold Of many monarchs, the bull
wark against many revolts and inva
slons and the shelter of many reli
gions.
Sianfu became u great city because
it stood in the province OF Shensi and,
therefore, on the borders of the illim-
table deserts and rolling uplands
whence came successive hordes OF
oarbariana to threaten the peace OF
the Flowery Land 1t has never lost
its protective character, and 40 years
ago the great Mohammedan rebellion
vainly spent It's strength against it
Nor he's its strength entirely van
ished Its mighty walls, though use
less against modern artillery, are far
more formidable, and now in better re-
pair, ,haa those of Peking. Its popu.
ation Is variously estimated, but is
numbered by the hundred thousand.

VARIOUS STAGES OF SMOKING
obseryant Man Has Noticed Pc
cullarlties That Mark Age
Of the Cigar User.

Young men, very young men, In
earlier smoking days like to keep the
ash on cigar as long as it will stay.
Somebody has told them that 1t is a
mark Of good cigar for it to have
an ash that does not .crumble and fall
off; II is at least true that long ash
marks the cigar as one made with a
long filler.
The young man smoker who likes
to see the ash grow and hang on
handles his cigar with great care SO
as not to joggle Il off. and If he
smokes up the whole cigar without
dropping the ash he thinks that he
has been smoking good cigar and
that he is good smoker
AS he grows older the young man
comes to be smoker of another sort
He fiicks the ashes off his cigar jaun-
tily. Then as he grows older still he
may come to be careless about tho
ash, or he may be SO engrossed with
other things as he smokes that he
lets the ash accumulate. to drop may
be on his garments and cover them
with ashes.
Still later In life the grown, mature
man is likely to knock the ash off his
cigar at frequent intervals, to keep ii
down short. He smokes in a business.
like way, he doesn't want the ashes
scattered over him. But as he grows
older yet, when he comes to be an
oldish man, he may come again as
he smokes to keep the ash on cigar
as long as he can.
You may see an old man smoking
cigar thus, holding 1t carefully and
smoking slowly and contemplatiyely,
looking at the ash occasionally and
clearly interested in seeing it grow,
just as he did when he was young.
Why he does this now is uncertain,
but perhaps it is because it brings
back memories of his youth.

Birds that Shine In the Dark.

That certain birds of prey are

COMMITTEE STARTS HEARING.

10 TO 80 PER CENT or RE-
SERVE FUND IN THAT
CITY,
DR.. W Ills. Adviser Of Congressional
COMMITTEES, Opposes This Plan, Say
ing IL is Entirely Out of Harmony
of Purpose OF Law.

New York, Jan. 5.-The task Of
setting up machinery to put in mo-
ton the new banking of the country
was taken up here today by the fed
eral reserve organization committee.
consisting of Secretaries McAdoO and
Houston. On this committee, under
the new law, devolves the responsible
ity OF mapping out regional reserve
districts and locating bank in each.
committee today began here a Sc
ries Of hearings which will be con-
tinucd three days more and subse-
quently in other financial centres.
1T presents almost an insolvable
problem" said Secretary McAdoo,
when Mr.. Vanderlip had given his
opinion as to the manner in which
the regional reserve districts should
be drawn up.
81 think that is what you are fac
ing" said Mr.. Vanderlip. "It is one
of the most difficult problems,
think, that / ever faced. Oversight
and control spell the whole story of
this law. If we get the proper over
sight and control the law. will work.
in spite of it's defects. If we do not
it will not work"
The majority of the witnesses fa
vOred the creation in New York Of a
regional bank of such magnitude that
it would absorb 40 or so per cent of
the sos, 100000 capital available for
the entire system of the country. Such
district would include New York
New England, New Jersey. Delaware
and part iof Pennsylvania.
Secretary McAdoo suggested that
such a huge bank here would over
shadow the other banks. of which, ac-
I cOrding to the law, there must be at
least seven. The reply was made that
a bank of such size was needed here
in order that it might command the
respect Of European bankers and hold
it's own with the great individual
banks, in New York. Mr.. vanderlip's
idea was at the importance of New
York banks would give them such a
position that it was of comparatively
little moment how much territory out
side the metropolitan district was in
cluded.
| DR.. II. Parker Willis Of New York
! who was adviser Of the banking and
currency committee of the house
while the currency bill was before
it, was the chief opponent Of the plan
for the creation of huge bank here.
DR.. Willis said that to allot to the
New York district 40 or so per cent
of the working capital Of the new sys-
! tern would be out of harmony with
the purposes Of the law.

CITY WINS APPEAL.
latiOns of Ordinances Loses on APP
peal.

Columbia. Jan. 5.-Thc case of the
city OF Sumter against Joe Hogan, who
WIS charged in thirtY-siX warrants in
lhe recorders court with violations of
the liquor law, was reversed by the
Supreme Court this afternoon in an
opinion by Chief Justice Gary Judge
the appeal from the recorder was not
upheld by the Supreme Court.
Joe Hogan had thirty-six warrants
charging him with selling whiskcy
certain times to certain persons, with
storing and keeping alcoholic liquors
in violation of city ordinance except
in one case, whore he was charged
simply with storing alcoholic liquors,
and to which charge he pleaded
guilty. He was convicted on three
Of the warrants and sentenced An
agreement was reached by w 'ch he
similarly should plead guilty to the
other thirtytwo charges if the three
cases should be upheld on appeal,
making the three cases i'm the nature
OF test.
The appeal was heard before Judge
Gage. All exceptions were overruled
except one, i'm that the recorder erred
in not taking down i'm writing the evil
dence of the witnesses, and in not
having the witnesses sign the same
under notice that the defendant refus-
ed to waive such right given before
the testimony was taken.
The recorder said the testimony was
written out, but was not signed at the
| trial by the witnesses, but was signed
within forty-eight hours, and that the
matter was an oversight.
The Supreme Court says the ques-
ton was whether the defendants at
| torney. although he notified the re.
corder that he would require the tes.
timony taken down in writing, waived
the right when he knew during the
trial that it was an oversight.
The courts ruling, briefly, is that j,
| was the duty of the attorney for the
defendant to call the attention of the
court to the oversight. Cases are citet
to sustain this view. Justices Fraser
and Hydrick concur with the Chiet
Justice, and Justice Watts concurs il
the result.
