signed his commission and will have
no part in framing the new constitu-

Chinese officials believe he had the
welfare of the republic at heart and

mands upon China endeared him to
the prominent men of China and won
him disfavor at home However, he
was thoroughly in sympathy with the
ideas of intense Capitalization embod-
led in the japanese constitution and
the feeling is So bitter against every
thing japanese that Chinese opinion
as shown in the press, is thoroughly
against any japanese influence or
ideal in the making of the new consti-
tuition.

tion drafting committee, was former

GOVERNMENT HAS NOT DECIDED TO TAKE ANY

The Department of Justice Awaiting Action From the State

State Department determines the
attitude of the government to-

Both the Bureau OF lnyestiga-

been investigating scores Of re-

taken.
The administration is inclined
to look with dislavor on the publi-
cation of information on the sub

more aggressive policy would be
adopted came as result of the
revelations I'm connection with the
activities of Dumba and the
knowledge that an American,

PrO-German Bankers in New

ton Of Taking a Part Of Anglo
French Billion Dollar Loan.
WESTERN PR0-GERMANS
WILL FIGHT THE LOAN
New Workers Feel That Though
Their SympathieS Are With
Germany Their Reason Is With
Success Of the United States.

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-THE Pro
German element of New York's inan-
cial world will probably be invited to
participate. If they signify desire
for such an invitation. in floating the
billion dollar credit loan for Great
Britain and France in hope TO estab-
lish the United States as the monied
faction Of this element. Wall Street
was heard, and will be glad to have
q chance TO help.
Another faction, composed largely
of Middle Western bankers, with pro-
German sympathies, would bitterly
oppose the participation Of raising
funds for the use of Germany's enc
mics, even though all would be spent
I'm the United States. This was the
big feature OF today's negotiations Of
the Anglo-French financial commission
with Wall Street bankers, who are en-
deavoring to assist in adjusting 'he
foreign exchange situation
Heretofore the commission has met
and conferred with only such bankers
as are pro.Ally in sympathies and con-
noctions There is not a banking
house with even the remotest connec-
tiou in German financial interests. but
had been hidden to send represen-
tative to the meetings at which
scores of New York and out Of town
Rnanciers discussed with the commits
sion the possible terms of the propos-
ed loan One prominent fnancier, re-
garded as a leader of several large
pro-German banking houses, said he
had no doubt the banking houses with
pro-Germau affiliations would take
pert i'm the undertaking, not because
it would be helpful to the Allies but
because # was essential to the main
tenauce of the commerce and indus
tries of the United States. Some of
the pro-German bankers feel keenly
the failure OF their firms to receive
invitations to meet the members OF
the commission
"Our sympathies, and hopes are
with Germany i'm the struggle The
spokesman of the pro-German group
said, "but our pocketbooks speak
loudly for the United States"
In Wall Street gossip. the pro-Ger
man bankers of Chicago. Cincinnati
ST. Louis, Milwaukee and other mid
die west cities would bitterly oppose
the action, looking TO the financing OF
Inc loan by American banks. These
bankers are prepared to resent The
suggestion that they participate and

ITS too bad the officers, IN their
desire to see that justice was done,
did not allow Leandro Maldonado
some days to make up his mind to
come back to Bisbee, where-if the
information reaching Review Alley,
coming undoubtedly from Douglas OF
from some other outofBisbee source,
(and therefore undoubtedly reliable)
according to all inferences- would
have come up to the local officers and
begged to be incarcerated. The Off
GERS, who have dug up the case, who
have worked upon the various clues
i'm their efforts to run down the murd-
erers, in spite of permanent sensation-
alism, will, 20 doubt feel that they
have again bungled the job. That they
have caught the two men, who ac-
knowledge they committed the crime,
could hardly make any difference in
the matter"
The above is the opinion of "a resi-.

ARKANSAS FOLKS
 TELL ABOUT HEALTH

A lot of Arkansas people are need lessly suffering from stomach ail- ments A lot of others have found 8 way to health and deliverance from the derangements of the digestive tract, which seems to be particularly prevalent in the South, by the use Of Mayrs Wonderful Remedy.
 There is no better proof of what this truly remarkable remedy will do than what it has done. Here are the words of two Arkansas people:
 WILLIAM A. HARTMAN. Dewitt, Ark, writes: T took your full treat ment and was greatly benefited by 1t. The amount of impurities removed from my system was simply wonder ful"
 CHARLIE SPENCER, Monticello, Ark. writes: T received your won- derful remedy and did not take 1t right away because 1 thought the dose was too large. But l felt so bad that I made up mind to take it, and 1t has worked like charm and has helped me so much my stomach feels like new one"
 Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per manent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more distress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart. Get one bottle of your druggist now and try 1. on an absolute guarantee-if not satis- factory money will be returned.-Adv.

JOKE WAS ON INVESTIGATOR
He Had an Idea 1t Was on Restau- rant Proprietor, but 1t Turned
 Out Otherwise.

The late Norman B. Ream, the or other important corporations, once said to a New York reporter about trust investigation:
 Maybe these Investigations will have the same luck as the game warden.
 "A game warden heard that res taurant was serving a game out of sea- son. He disguised himself with false beard, visited the place and ordered pheasant.
 "The pheasant, delicately high like roquefort cheese, as well as all good pheasant should be, was served to the game warden, and he devoured it to the last morsel, at the same time in- ficting severe punishment on a bottle of rare old Burgundy-for the state, of course, paid for it all
 At the end of his repast the game warden summoned the proprietor and said:
 arrest you, sir, in the name of the law!'
 The proprietor's mouth opened in astonishment. He swallowed two or three times, then he gasped:
 sWh-what for?
 For serving inc pheasant out of season. said the game warden.
 "A look of relief appeared on the proprietor's face
 "'Oh,' he said. that wasn't pheas- ant. It was crow.'"

I think that if all the German army were firing at him he would carry on as usual, smoking his cigarette and giving his orders as if he were at his club ordering a drink"

A travelling salesman for Gan, voort street wholesale grocery fiji recently back from a trip through rough lands of eastern Pennsylyad tells this possibly true tale:

Couldn't See Any Face.

An old friend, whose name I won't mention, told me this one: q was born and brought up on farm, and had the habit of going around with my mouth wide open, especially if there was anything unusual going on. One day an uncle whom had not seen for years paid us a visit.
 Hullo, unele!' said I, looking up at him with my mouth opened like a barn door.
 'He looked at me for a moment without answering, and then said:
 Close your mouth, sonny, so can see who you are.'"
