Chinese Boycott May Grow Into
World Wide Affair.

A nation wide, and Ultimately a
world wide boycott upon the purchase
use of japanese products is the
announced aim of a new Chimes So
ciety organized in San Francisco. The
embargo has been started by Chinese
Americans in an attempt to force Jap
an to recede from her demands upon
the Chinese government. A propa-
ganda spreading campaign for the
formation of similar societies in all
OF the larger cities of the United
states was begun simultaneously with
the organization of the parent So
ciety.

crioed by its secretary, M. @. Fong,

viii Grab Cargoes Shipped Il
Germany.

France and Great Britain served
notice on the United States Monday.
that they would hold themselves at
liberty II stop all shipping hereafter
TO and from Germany.
A communication outlining meas
ures of reprisal on the part of the
allies for the submarine warfare on
merchant ships coducted by Germany
was delivered TO Secretary Bryan by
the French and British ambassadors
who called at the state department
together for that purpose.
Secretary Bryan promptly APP
prised President Wilson of the new
move. but declined to make any
statement. The ambassador intimat-
ed that the state department would
make all announcements on the sub
ject.
Ii was pointed out here that while
there might be no precedent for such
a wide range of action as the allies
propose. there "a likewise no prece-
dent for the German submarine
blockade of the British Isles. Neu-
trails have not always recognized the
validity of blockades and many con-
tests have arisen where. belligerents
have attempted to coniscate ships
and cargoes seized for running block
ades that were alleged to be not In
accordance with the rules OF inter-
national law.

Gary Urges Governor of New York
To Start a Tramp Farm.

Gov. Whitman has been appealed
to by Ebert II. Gary. chairman Of
the Mayors Committee on Unemploy-
ment, to start the state Industrial
Farm at Peekskill right off so that at
least fifty tramps and Migrants can
be sent there from New York. Mr..
Gary's appeal, in the form of a letter
to the state executive heads of the
committee on unemployment, and
Bailey b. Burritt, of the association
for improving the condition OF the
poor. The city administration is
back of the project.
Specific recommendations and sug-
eestions from the mayors committee
on unemployment to the governor
we're contained in the following let
ter. Messrs. Shillady and Burritt
will also confer with Speaker Sweet.
of the assembly, and Messrs. Sage
and Macdonald. chairman of the
finance committe Of the senate and
The ways and means committee of the
assembly. respectively. Mr.. Gary's
letter follows:
Among the unemployed Of New
York City there are many of the
tramps and vagrant type wha are
habitualy idle from choice. These
men now apply in large numbers to
public and private charity for ASST
lance. and claim their inability to
find work as the sole reason for their
restitution. Their presence among
bona fide workmen temporarily out
Of work and earnestly seeking it,
seriously interferes with constructive
plans for the aid of the reputable un-
employed.
"A state Industrial farm colony for
the instruction and reformation of
tramps and Migrants was established
by Chapter 812, Laws OF 1911. An
appropriation of 3100.0 900 was made
by the legislature OF 1912, of which
$50, 600 has been used to purchase a
site. leaving a balance of $40, 900.

This was unused. and has reverted to
the state. The law provides that in
the work of construction and i'm
provement the inmates shall be en-
ployed wherever and as far as prae-
ticable.
If the tramps and Migrants are
separated from those able and anxi-
Gus to work. the unemployment situa-
ton will be much simplified.

Illinois Has Murder Mystery.

men EfHHd Ttlti1Ou var "N
dered in the heart of the fashionable
section of Aurora, Ill, last week IL
was a crime that struck fear into the
women of the city. She was the
third young woman TO fall a victim
to the mysterious slayer in scarcely
more than a yer, and now the people
are asking whether there is another
~murderous degenerate at large SINH
lar to the Jack the Ripper who ter
rorized London 20 years ago. or the
DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde OF Steven
sons story. Nothing is clear. All is
blackness. without a ray OF light TO
lead to the murder. There seems to
be an utter lack Of purpose in these
crimes.
The first scene flashed upon the
startled eyes OF Aurora people a lit
tie more than a year ago. 1t was OF
a young woman's body. lying in red
dened snow across a grave. That
was the Aurora graveyard murder.
There's Hollander was the victim.
Her head was beaten in by a piece of
scantling.
A few months later came the
Aurora church yard murder. On the
evening of November 10 another
Young woman was found lying in a
pool of blood. half under the hedge
surrounding the Aurora First Metho-
dist ~churchyard. The victim was
Miss Jennie Miller. daughter of a
former mayor. Her head had been
crushed in By a blow from a plumb
er's wrench.
Now comes the third murder. Miss
Emma Peterson was the victim. Two
young women. returning from the
movies at about 1920 in the even
ing, stumbled upon her body. which
lay in the shadow across the side
walk of a main residence street, not
five blocks from the business district.
Residents of the city believe al
most as a unit that their town har-
bors a "Dr. Jekyl and Mr.. HYDE
respectable gentleman by day. a
brutal mailman by night. For it
must be. they say, and Chief of De-
t~ectiyes Wirz agrees, that these muir
ders we're committed by the same
criminal. Yet after each tragedy
every suspicious character. every ruff
fan, every person who could in any
way be implicated was rounded up,
cross examined, grilled by third de-
gree, but all In vain. The thorough
ness of the police is shown in the
present case. in which so men were
picked up on the streets before the
morning following the crime.
The time of the attack was the
same In each case. somewhere be-
tween eight and ten o'clock at night.
The weapon was in each case a sort
Of bludgeon. The first a scantling,
the second a heavy wrench, the third
a lead pipe.
Miss Jennie Miller when found re-
gained consciousness long enough to

Plenty to Take Aliens Jobs in Subway
Work at New York.

Ten thousand American citizens
out of work in New York are avail

been officially announced, in place

Head of Southern Pacific Company
Gives Prosperity Rules.

Gives Prosperity huies.
The country is in a period of IN
employment and distress, the like ol
which the nation never saw before,
William Sproule, president of the
Southern Pacific company, said al
the annual dinner of the Traffic clut
in Chicago.
He attributed this condition TO long
continued clamor against all sorts OF
public businesses, and predicted its
end only when returning prosperity
for employers should spell prosperity
for the employed
He outlines the ~difficultied faced
by the transportation business, which
he said. had lost its momentum, :
and took vigorous exception to any
suggestion that business conditions
would be better II business men be-
lieyed they would be better.
The booster lifts nothing higher
than the level of his own teeth the
railway executive said. THE trump
eter of prosperity beguiles only his
own ears. Prosperity is real, or it
does not exist. We do not have to
look for it 1t come TO us. 1t grows
within our sight like a plant coming

1T is the habit of the time to
speak of unemployment as if II relat-
ed only to those who work for a
specific hourly. daily. weekly or
monthly wage. On the contrary, il is
the employer who is the first out of
employment. He is followed by the
employe.
But why is this period of unem-
ployment? 1t is because all business
is bewildered and uncertain. A long
period of Misrepresentation. misun-
d%erstanding and pettifogging has so
mislead the public mind that,
the country, every pros
business, indeed every organi-
cation, prosperous or not. which is
big enough to attract the public plat
form performer finds that it exists in
an atmosphere of attack.
The nation is filled with political
Business is filled to
with economic theories.
When men ask for work, they are
an epigram. The more politi-
cal theories are proposed, the poorer
becomes the people.
Il urge the prosperity of the aver
age man.
ITO secure that prosperity urge
the imperative necessity of taking
business out of atmosphere of attack
into the old fashioned, go-ahead at
mosphere of business initiative and
enterprise
Il urge relief from the fads, fan
cies and 'isms' which have filled the
with unemployment and put
away the dinner pail of the working
empty on the shelf of the i'm
poverished home.
Il urge the restoration of conf
dence in the fact that American bust
ness men are the peers of any in the
world.
Il urge that the public interest in
transportation is that 1t shall be pros
porous in order that 1t shall be a sue
cessful and energetic aid to all the
business it is designed to serve"

errors are anxious students of the
