LAWSON ASKS talk
WITH THE PRESIDENT

Boston, Jan. 2.-An offer to con-
vince President Wilson in an hours
interview of the wisdom of suggest
ing to congress an immediate investi-
cation Of stock market manipulations
of the last two years is contained in a
letter from Thomas w. Lawson of this
city to Representative Robert L. Hen
ry, chairman Of the house committee
on rules, made public here.
The letter is in response to the rep
resentative's request for information
as a basis for an inquiry into a rumor-
ed leak from Washington to Wall
street in connection with the presi-
dents peace note.
Mr.. Lawson asserts that an investi-
cation would disclose the operations
of a great false newsmaker" aiming
at "the complete befuddling of the
American people to the real vitals of
the hour"
In the letter Mr.. Lawson renews
previous statements that the so called
leak of last week was one of a series
through which he says "the American
people were robbed of hundreds of
millions" ~

PIRATES
KILL WRECK VICTIMS

Toxic, Dec. 3O.-Three hundred per-
sons, mostly Chinese laborers, perish
ed in the wreck of the Sankaku Maru
off Chefoo.
Many victims were killed by Chinese
pirates who boarded the grounded ship
and plundered its passengers and
stores.
The steamer went aground Wednes-
day. Fifty survivors have been landed
in safety. They include two Ameri-
cans.
Because Of the mountainous seas all
attempts at rescue of those aboard the
vessel failed at first.
It was impossible for the rescuing
boats to approach anywhere near the
Sankaku, but, the survivors say, the
pirates succeeded in driving close
enough to the ship to board it and
make off safely with a large booty.

FORTY SIX PERISH
IN ASYLUM BLAZE

Montreal, Que, Jan. Am appall.
ing tragedy closed the old year in the
little French-C Canadian village st. Fer;
dinand de Halifax, near Lake William
In Megantic county, Que, where for
ty-fye insane girls, inmates of a con-
vent asylum, persisted in the fire which
destroyed that institution.
One of the sisters who tried to res
cue the inmates suffered martyrdom
in the attempt, making the death toll
f~orty-six.
Ear away from any town large
enough to have an effective fire br-
gade, the asylum had to depend on
the slender resources OF the village
and It's own staff for protection from
IRE.
The institution accommodated 1870
girls, but beside the inmates there
also were thirty girls from the local
ity studying at the convent adjoining.
All these escaned.

AMERICAN NEGROES
WIN FRENCH HEARTS
Dance and Sing Way Into Alice
tons Of New Friends

Though they bewan the lack OF
chickens in the backwards OF the
French-and on their menu-the
members of a regiment OF American
negro stevedores in France have
danced and sung their way into the
hearts of the French population in
the port where they are already
planning a show for the benefit OF a
fund for the French wounded.
Telling Of their work and play and
thoughts. Howard Kahn. in an article
sent to the National War Work Coun-
Gil Of the Y. M. G. A., speaks of them
as the Wars Minstrel Show" In
spite Of their strange surroundings,
he says, they carry on their work as
usual. They shuttle the same dances,
and sing the same plantation melodies
as at home.
They have no use for the Senega-
1ese-''French niggers'' they call
them-because they wear monkey
caps, have rings in their ears and
don't talk sense" The native wit
and constant good humor Of these
stevedores have made them a joy and
delight to the officers and men who
come in contact with them. More

traditions of the American negro.
Writing from port in France, Mr..
Kahn says:
Its against the rules to mention

Forces, but even the hardest-hearted
censor will admit that no military se-
cret is divulged in this interview with
Mr.. Sylvester Bogus Johnson, Of
Nashville, Tennessee, member Of a

every one who saw it could say they

game was fast and clean from start

feature was the pitching of Reyn-

control and every thing a pitcher
could want, and had it not been for

have had no hit no run game. The

And They Didn't Parade.

In 1885 Dewey was at Malta in CON-
mand of the Pensacola. Some Of his
men on shore leave got into a street
brawl. An alarm was sounded, but
the men succeeded in escaping to their
ship. The British captain of the port
was on hand next morning demanding
that the guilty sailors be surrendered
or punished by the American comman-
der, Dewey expressed regret that the
sailors should have been so lawless
ashore, but said he could see no way
in which he could assist his visitor in
picking out the guilty. The reply an
gered the British officer. who said
somewhat peremptorily:
"You certainly can parade your crew
before me in order that the rioters
may be identified"
Dewey pointed aloft to the stars and
stripes waving, at the masthead.

Candy and Abe Drink Habit.

Candy and *he Drink Habit.
If any one doubts that candy will
rure him of the drink habit he can
easily test it. The man who puts lots
of molasses on his wheat cakes at
breakfast will find himself gradually
forgetting to step in for his customary
drink on his way to his work. If the
man who goes out between times for
liquid refreshments will go into can
1y store instead and get or 10 cents
worth. of candy and eat it he will be
surprised ut the effect, for it will not
be very long until he will have box
of candy i'll his pocket or desk. 1t has
often been noted that in theaters where
sandy is sold during the intermissions
going out to see man" does not pre-
vail to anything like the extent it does
in other theaters where no candy sell
ing is permitted. Not one man in a
hundred knows why he forgot to "go
out to see man" after he had bought
ii box of candy for his companion and
eaten little Of it himself for polite
ness sake.-Medical World.
