LONDON, Feb. 8. - An important government statement is expected to be made in Parliament when the Ques- ton of Sweden's prohibition of the export of wood pulp is raised.
 The Weekly Dispatch says that the government has decided on drastic steps as regards the importation of '1uxuries"
 It may be safely stated" says the Dispatch, "that in @ few weeks time there will be no imported luxuries, as for example, bananas for the poor, and expensive imported fruits for the rich will be barred.
 "Wasteful motoring, which is every where seen, is to be stopped, because it is using up shipping which brings petrol and rubber. The importation of pulp and paper will be cut down 40 per cent"

TO DEAD
FIREMEN IS PAID
Pleas for Pensions Made at
Memorial Service at
Y. M. c. A.

The need of some adequate provi-
sion for the dependent families Of fire.
men who lose their lives in the serv-
ice was one OF the outstanding points
in the address of Sergt. c. w. Gill,
president of the Firemen's Association,
at the Joint memorial service in honor
of the departed members of the Wash
ing fire department. held last night
at the Y. NJ. c. A.
He stated that in the audience were
wives and children who had been left
unprovided for by the sudden death
of the heads of their families, and that
while the fireman was no less sub
ject to discipline and his calling no
less hazardous. and no less devoted to
the public welfare than that of the
soldier. a pension system had been
provided for the latter, but none for
the fireman.
Senator Thomas Sterling. Of South
Dakota, said that in one respect the
service of the fireman was higher than
that of the soldier. for the fireman
never fought in an unjust or an un-
worthy cause.
A large American flag. drsped from
the running track and stretching to
the floor, formed a background for
the stage, at the center of which, sur
rounded by palms. stood a large flow
er-draped cross. Across the front of
the stage ran a long line of candles.
one for each of the 107 men who have
died in the service. AS the secretary,
W. A. Smith. called the roll, and there
was no answer to the name, the muf
fled gong was sounded and one by
one the candles were extinguished.
When the last had ceased to burn, the
orchestra played the funeral march of
Chopin.
P T. Moran, president Of the Chamber
of Commerce. presided. Homer ]. Coun-
cilor, chaplain of the Fireman's Associa-
ton, gave the invocation, and Rev. Paul

audience while standing sung Nearer My

The program of music included vocal
solos by Wilson Oliver and Mrs z. s.

comb, a saxophone solo by Frang Bap-
tista. and several other numbers by the

Mr. Roosevelt The present outlook is
for the Burton boom to collapse last and
after the hardest struggle against opposi-
ton
None Of these three are sure of nomi-

admit that The opinion OF many OF those
best qualified to understand conditions is
that Justice Hughes will be nominated
on the second, third or fourth ballot un-
less he does something to take himself
definitely out OF the race.
During the last few days there has
developed IN a few Hughes strongholds a
reluctance 70 nominate the Supreme Court
justice 'blindly.' There is an intimstion
that unless some one with authority de-
fines his views on the vital issues before
the nation delegates who are eager to vote
for him Will seek a favorite elsewhere
This warning was sounded first in formal
manner by eleven Wisconsin delegates
who are earnestly for Justice Hughes.
They explained they would support him
II he states his views. They explained
that their action is no part OF a move
to smoke Mr.. Hughes out or to en-
barrass him. They, like some other dele
gates, have grown somewhat restive as
the convention approaches. They are seek
ing some source where authoritative in
formation about the Hughes attitude on
burning issues may be ascertsined."

WILL PAY $4,000 FOR
STOLEN Chinese IDOL
Henry Stuart Offers Big Reward for
Jade Image of Goddess Which
Disappeared in 1914.

4 mysterious something, a thing upon
which depends, perhaps, the fate of the
ruling party Of an empire. about which
is all the intrigue OF world politics and
the glamour and mystery Of the Chinese
race, is the object Of a nationwide quest
instituted by Henry c. Stuart, OF 2619
woodIey Place.
Mr.. Stuart Is a confidante Of Dr. Sun
Vat Sen, the Chinese leader, and it is for
him the search is being made, it is said
Ten thousand dollars will be paid for its
recovery, says the advertisements in
newspapers.
The something is. or was, a Jade image
Of the Chinese goddess Of mercy, Kwan-
non. The idol is but eight inches in
height.
The idol was stolen from DR.. Sun Vat
sen in August, 1914, when It was supposed
he was in San Francisco. preparing to
embark for China to unseat the reigning
dynasty and set up a republic. But, goes
the story, the party opposing Dr. Sun
Vat Sen knew he had that for which
100000 people would give their lives, so
they stole the magic thing.
DR.. Sun Yat Sen abandoned his expedi-
ton shortly thereafter. A new movement
to overthrow the party now in power is
underway, II is said, but DR.. Sun Yat Sen
is withholding action until the idol and
its contents are recovered.

The rich man suffering from asth-

this even better than the poor man

to obtain relief by using Eckman's
Alternative, a preparation containing
calcium chloride, which for more than
twenty years has been giving wide
spread satisfaction in such cases.
OF course, its use should be second
ed by rest, pure food and fresh air,
for no medicine can be of much help
where these provisions of Nature are
not made use of. But in numerous
instances where they have not pro-
duced desired results, Eckman's AL
