at this point it made a jump. There
were at least two robbers. He was
morally sure of that. for this was not

another enemy Of Macdonald, but had
very good reasons for getting out of
the country just now.
The strong jaw of the mine-owner
stood out saliently as he gave short,
sharp orders to men in the crowd. One
was to get the coroner, second WaIly
Selfridge, another the United States
district attorney. He divided the rest
into squads to guard the roads leading
out of town and to see that nobody
passed for the present.
The coroner took charge of the body
and Wally of the bank. The mine
owner and the district attorney walked
up to the hotel together. AS soon as

GINSENG MARKET IN CHINA
Depression in Business Reported Past
Year, Sale of the Root Being
Much Below Normal.

The market for ginseng in Hong
kong and the China field generally
is depressed and dealers look for lit
tie revival in the trade until well to-
ward Chinese New Year. Usually
there is quickening in the trade as
cool weather comes on, but so far the
past year, and in spite of the high ex-
change value OF silver which ought to
stimulate the trade, the sale OF the
root has been much below normal.
says Consul General George z. An
derSon, Hongkong. Arrivals have been
below normal and the demand has
not kept pace with the supply. An aue-
ton of a Hot of American root on con-
signment recently brought fair prices.
Two days later a similar lot of as good
If not better root sold for little more
than half the price brought by the first
lot, and private sales made later were
on still lower level. Uncertain po-
litical conditions in the interior Of
China are given as the chief reason
for the present slump in demand, but
uncertain financial conditions due to
the export of silver and copper coin
age from the provinces as well as the
existence of piracy and other disorders
In some districts have also had ma
terial influence.
Sales have been Irregular and the
market may improve at any time The

The ginseng business and all similar
lines of trade in China are in an un-
certain state and little reliance can
be placed upon the continuance Of any
conditions.

HIS THRONE, IS REPORT
London Hears of Move to Restore
Former Emperor to Power.

London, Nov. 2o.-The ! former
German Emperor conternplates an
early return to Germany to reclaim
his throne, according to- news re
ceived in London through a neutral
source of high standing, says The
Daily Mail.
The newspaper. adds that the revo-
luton in Germany is being managed
by officers of the German high COM
mand with a view of eventually caus-
ing its collapse and the triumphant
return of the former Emperor to
Berlin. Some of these. officers in civ
iian clothes have been recognized in
the streets. OF Berlin. Many of them
are reported to be dressed as work.
men.
These officers harangue the crowds
as comrades and in every way en-,
courage the revolutionary movement.
1t is added, however, that if oppor-
tunities offer they will abandon their
disguise, contend that the revolution
is a failure and begin counter revo-
luton.
Agents OF these officers, it is de-
clared are furthering this plot by
spreading anti-British propaganda in
Holland with the object of embitter-
ing the Dutch against the Allies.

Stories of Ex-Emperor's. Gay Life
Exaggerated a.

London, November 28-.-A dispatch
to the Daily Mail from Amerongen,
Holland, says the stories regarding
the former German emperor's prince
ly surroundings and big dinner par
ties and similar functions are not al
together true.
The most striking feature of the
daily life of William Hohenzollern.
the correspondent continues, is the
mass of correspondence, to which he
devotes most of his mornings and,
apparently unrestricted by the Dutch
Government, he is kept accurately in
formed of every development in Ger
many and elsewhere and is reported
to be able to keep in pretty close
touch with the other side Of the
frontier.
The correspondent says The Meth
erlands Government considers the
former crown prince the only dang
erous intriguer, the former emperor's
day being regarded as ended. 1t is
commonly reported at Amerongen
that William Hohenzol!ern will not
be there long, but it is uncertain
whittier he will go.

TWO CENT STAMP AND CENT
POSTAL MAY BE RESTORED
Senate Finance Committee Alsi Pro.
poses to Tax Child Labor Out
of Existence. !.

Washington, Nov. 2o-The senate
finance committee today adopted the
Pomerene child labor amendment to
the revenue bill, imposing 10 per
cent tax on the net profits of child
labor. =.
This amendment, if retained in the
bill, would take the place of the
child labor law recently declared un-
constitutional by the supreme court
1t imposes the excise tax on the
entire net profits Of mines and quar-
ries employing children less than 10
years old, and mills and canneries
employing children less than ii years
old.
The committee restored the old
rate on first-class mail and postcards.
This does away with the 3-cent rate
on letters and the 2-cent rate on
postcards, making them and cent,
respectively.
The committee also dropped from
the. bill the second-class postal zone
system, which has been vigorously
opposed by publishers all over the
country.
The postal zone system was
adopted in the last revenue bill when
proposed by Postmaster General
Burleson. Publishers in hearings be-
fore both the senate finance and the
house ways and means committee
complained that many publications,
were being forced to suspend because
of the taxes imposed, and those that
we're able to weather the storm were
subjected to great hardships. An eff
fort to reinsert the postal zone sec
ton in the bill probably will be made
when the bill comes up for consider
alton in the senate.

Liberty Cabbage Made in Germany
Enjoyed by Yanks.

With the American Army of Occu-
patton, November 2o.-"Liberty cab
bage." made in Germany, and there
still known as sauerkraut. has been
served at many American Army
messes during the week. five car
loads of the tasty edible having been
left behind by the withdrawing Ger
man Army.
The Americans, on entering Arlon,
Belgium, last week, found a we'll
stocked supply depot, WHICH the Ger
mans had left intact owing to the
confusion of the retirement and lack
of transportation. The five freight
cars were loaded with barrels of the
picked cabbage, each barrel weigh
ing 900 pounds.
The Americans also took posses
sion of several carloads of potatoes,
many tons Of turnips and other per-
ishab1es. These also were distrib-
uted and aided many mess sergeants
in serving Thanksgiving dinners to
the American troops.

Baruch to Quit War Board.

Washington, Northumberland M.
Baruch, chairman of the War Indus
tries Board, has sent his resignation
to President Wilson, to take effect
January I. There has been no an
nouncement, however, as to its ac-
ceptance.~
Mr.. Baruch's decision to resign is
understood to have no bearing on the
reported desire of the President to
name him as Secretary of the Treas
ury, but is in line with his known be-
lief that the affairs of the board can
be closed by the first of the year.
The boards activities have been
curtailed as rapidly as its relations
with Industries would permit, and
virtually all restrictions placed on in
dustries made necessary to complete
the war program have been removed,
