Strange White Tribe
Found in China Hills

A tribe of white men whose chief
characteristic is their ferocious cour-
age has been found in the western
mountains of China by DR.. Joseph
Beech, president of the West China
Union University, at Changta.
Dr. Beech, who recently arrived in
this country to aid in the Methodist
Episcopal centenary campaign for $685.
100000 for missionary work at home
and abroad, tells also of another race
of white men, who greatly resemble
Bohemians, to be found in the great
hills.
"There are forty or fifty different
tribes" DR.. Beech said, call speaking
different languages and all different in
physical appearance in the mountains
of west and southwest Szechuen. On
our maps these tribes are called a part
of China. but they are really indepen-
dent, and have fought the Chinese from
time immemorial.
"This tribe, resembling Anglo Saxons.
lives in the district Of Sung Pan. 1t is
described to me as consisting of large
men whose bravery is considered a
marvel by Chinese. They never run
away Chinese friend told me- They
love to fight.

DIR. Jowett May Return Here
Rumor Says Former Fifth Ave.
Pastor Will Leave London

Rumors that the Rev. DR.. J. H. Jowett,
former pastor of the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian Church, would resign as
pastor Of the Westminster Chapel,
London, to return to his former New
York charge, could not be substanti-
ated here yesterday. According to "The

England for the cooler, drier climate
Of New York.
Frederick A. Wallis, Fourth Deputy
Police Commissioner and elder in the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church,
SAID he had heard nothing of Dr. Jow-
ctt's intended return to America except
that he would make a visit to this
country probably in October and No

then IT is expected that the pulpit of

Sherin's OBJECTION
To Death Penalty
! Stil's Much Debate
Two Judges Contend That
Abolition of Electric Chair
Would Act to Encourage
Wave of Crime i'm State

Sheriff Knott precipitated a wide
discussion when he advocated abolition
of capital punishment in New York
States in speech to the second panel
of the Sheriff's jury Wednesday night
at the Hotel Biltmore. Argument for
and against the proposition started at
once at the dinner, Judge William D.
Cunningham, of the Court of Claims,
taking issue with Sheriff Knott on the
subject.
Since then the Sheriff also has re
ceived many views for or against his
suggestion, and he is eager that all
persons who have any opinion on the
matter shall let him have them. A bill
already has been introduced in the
Assembly by Assemblyman Lilly, one
OF the women members.
One Judge Favors Change
One OF the judges on the bench of
General Sessions, Judge William H.
Wadhams, who is now abroad, is the
away with the electric chair and
substituting life Imprisonment as the
extreme punishment for murder. Two
others, Judge John f. Mcintyre and
Judge Joseph +. Mulqueen, yesterday
EXPRESSED themselves in opposition to
the change
Il cannot agree with Sheriff Knott"
said Judge Mcintyre. "Capital punish
ment certainly acts as deterrent to
criminals. Talk of abolishing it, | be-
lieve is maudlin sentimentality. In
fact, ! would favor return to the
old law of capital punishment in cases
of robbers who use dangerous weapons
and in the case of rape.
SHERIFF Knott is wrong when he
says statistics show decrease Of
homocides. Society is entitled to pro-
tect itself and it has the moral right
to take d life to avenge the taking of
another. In that respect | am firm
believer in the application of the
Mosaic law"
Fear a Deterrent to Crime
81 don't agree with Sheriff Knott"
said Judge Muiqueen. 81 never knew
Of a criminal who did not fear the
punishment of death. They are all
anxious to take life Imprisonment in
stead of the electric chair If this is
true, surely the fear of the chair must
be constantly in the minds. of the
criminals before they commit crime.
II understand the suspension of the
death penalty in Rance for a time
brought about the terrible reign of
the apaches in Paris. Later it had to
be reinstated to check the depreda-
tions of these outlaws. The same
thing undoubtedly will occur in New
York if the death penalty were sus-
pended. The Governor has the power
to commute the death sentence where
1t IS desirable to do so, therefore I do
not believe the law should be changed"

" MS paying 4VOC only are Chey hearc
by thousands who never hear him in
person, but they are the pianist's only
possible heritage to posterity.
The great musicians who are making
Duo~Art Rolls fully realize this.
On the very day before he sailed,
and amid the press of numberless
other matters, Paderewski spent three
precious hours giving the final touches
to the two rolls, though he had already
spent many days in perfecting them.
Such is the seriousness with which
the Duo>Art Piano is regarded by these
musicians. Josef Holman, another
of the great planists who are record
ing their playing for the Duo>Art, says:
The making Of these rolls has ,xquyed hard
and paiustaking 1uork, and haze sptnt many
hours on each diff1rnt composition, but I am
quite confident you qoiN agree Nth me thar
the ,rsult5 jusftfy all the effort made They
are indfed my actual Interpretations with all

While Paderewski, himself, writes:
I avaH myself of this opportunity to CON-

ment in the production Of the Duo-A,7 Piano.
shall be glad indeed to hasp my biay-

Who Benefits by High Prices?

You feel that retail meat prices are too
high.
Your retailer says he has to pay higher
prices to the packers.
Swift & Company prove that out of
every dollar the retailer pays to the
packers for meat, 2 cents is for packers
profit, IS cents is for operating expenses
and IS cents goes to the stock raiser; and
that the prices of live stock and meat
move up and down together
The livestock raiser points to- rising
costs of raising live stock
Labor reminds us that higher wages
must go hand in hand with the new cost
of living
No one, apparently, is responsible No
one, apparently is benefited by higher
prices and higher income.
We are all living on high-priced scale.
One trouble is, that the number of dollars
has multiplied faster than the quantity of
goods, so that each dollar buys less than
formerly.
