The thrilling account OF the last few
moments of the life OF Mr.. and Mrs Tan.
ner have been told in startling headlines
and graphic story and thoughtful editorial
in the public press OF every city and town
Of the country. This incident has received
such universal attention. not merely be.
cause OF its elements Of deep human inter-
est that touches common note OF sympa-

aroused the question OF the moral value of
Mr.. Tanners sacrifice.
When Mr.. Tanner found that he could
not release his wfc's foot from the rigid
trap formed by the rail and the planking
that leveled the crossing he must have
been overwhelmed with the horror Of the
situations The shrieking whistle, the
changing bell and the louder and louder
roar of the rapidly approaching express
train must have caused Mr.. and Mrs. Tan.

come panic-sricken
With the frenzy of despair he made his
last futile efforts 10 release the helpless
woman and then realizing az last that he
could not save her he could think OF moth

last. He could not leave her to die alone
In spite Of her unscliish protests he took
her in his arms, with his back 10 the train

would shield her and save her Stll. He
must have lost all sense OF everything OK

meant in his life
In a moment Of time memory flashed his

Decline Noted in
 the Worlds Sugar

London, Nov. 8.-A decline in the worlds sugar production. of about fourteen per cent. as compared with the season 1913-14, was registered during 1918-19, according to figures issued by the official board of trade Journal. But for the increase in the Cuban output, from 2,6OO,OOO tons in lSlS-l4 to an estimated 100000 tons Tn l9l8-19, the decline would have 9een much more serious, says the Journal.
 The worlds production of raw cane sugar, excluding the Indian crop, wnlch ' me is consumed locally, rose from l,oOO,0OO tons in 1913-14 to 9,7O0,0O0 sons u in l918-19. an increase of g. i1o,0OO tons. In the case of. raw rect sugar, however. production cropped from 8,90O,OO0 tons to A. 5oVo,0O0, a decrease of 4,5OO,0O0 tons. 0n balance, therefore. there was a oeflclency in the worlds supply of sugar in the season just ended, com oared with pre-war supplies, amount ng to approximately 2,4O0,OOO tons.
 me latest reports, the Journal states, indicate that for 1919-2O, the worlds w crops are likely to fall short ol % those of the previous season by about 100000 tons.

Huerta Debts Are
 Not Recognized

Mexico City, Nov s.-The Mexi- can government does not recognize debts contracted by the Victoriano Huerta and Francisco Carajal re- gimes and will not pay any claims based upon damages suffered during the period these two men were pres ident, according to a statement issued by Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treasury. This was evoked by an as- sertion, credited to Senator Fall of the United States senate committee Investigating Mexican affairs, that the present government has such f!- nancial responsibilities

Pr0fiteering War
 is Begun by the
 British Auto Trade

London, Nov. 8.-A determined ef- fort to break up profiteering in au- tomobiles is being made by the Brit ish Motor Trades association and the Motor Agents union. Heavy fines have been imposed in cases where agents have advanced the prices fixed by the manufacturers. If the dealer refuses to pay the fine, he is cut off from all source of replenishing his stock.
 Another form of profiteering in cars is often encouraged, it is said, by the private automobilist. On receiv- ing new car, the owner in a number of reported cases has re-sold it to 9 secondhand dealer and pocketed an immediate profit of $500 or more. Such is the demand for cars, that the secondhand dealer has no difficulty in disposing of the automobile at another $500 profit for himself.
 Owing to the shortage of cars, every dealer has long list of ex- pectant purchasers and attempts have been made to bribe salesmen to shift the names of waiting customers from the bottom to the top of the list In one instance reported to the Moor Agents union, the bribe of- fered salesman was $75O.

Philatelic Societies
 to Meet at Hurin
(By The Associated Press.)

Turin, Italy. Oct. 11.-A congress of Italian philatelic societies and an international stamp bourse were held concurrently with the public stamp exhibition which opened today. The exhibition is under the patron age of the queen of of Italy, one of the most enthusiastic of royal phila- telists. and is intended to commence rate the first centenary of the 1tal- ian post as shown by the early Sardi nian stamped letter sheets designat- ed "Cavallini di Sardegna."
 Letter sheets embossed with the device of "a genie on horseback at full gallop with his horn to his lips in order to scatter those who may be in his way" were issued in Sardinia one hundred years ago. For each value the figure of the mounted pos tilion was enclosed in frame of diff ferent shape. The initial issue was impressed on plain paper in blue, but from 1920 to 1836 the embossing was done in plain relief upon paper containing a special water-mark of the royal arms.

Jesse James Home Still is Open to
 the Sightseers

St. Joseph Mo-, Nov. 3.-Sur- rounded by weeds and underbrush. d squad and weather beaten cottage of four rooms stands almost forgotten near the heart of St. Joseph and within two blocks of two trolley lines. The house was once occu- pied by Jesse James, the famous Missouri bandit.
 A sign of the front door of the cottage informs the casual passer- by that for the modest sum of 15 cents, including war tax, presuma- bly, the visitor may see the room, in which the chief bandit was shot to death by Bob" Ford the morning of April 3, 1882, as he was hanging picture. The bullet hole in the wall of the room and the place where the blood stains are said to have been are pointed out to the curious.
 A score or more years ago a vis- it to St. Joseph was not considered complete without jaunt to the home of Jesse James. But times have changed-the war and every thing, the old couple who are com pleting nearly 20 years residence in the former bandits dwelling explain ed-and visitors are rare. So far as maintaining the place for it's his- torical name, it is a failure, they say. In the last six months, only one per son came to see the house where Jesse James lived and died.

Administrator to Leave German East
 Africa Shortly

London, Nov. 8.-Sir Horace By att, administrator of what was for merly German East Africa, soon will leave England for Des- es- Sal aanl. which will be the new head quarters of the government under the mandate of the league of na- tions. Various government officials have been appoined for administrat- ering the new territory, but it will be some time before the staff will be complete and the "new broom start sweeping.
 Meanwhile it is reported all is go- ing smoothly. The old German na- tive army has melted away and the country is now garrisoned by three battalions of the Kings African rifles from the neighboring colonies. The only Germans left are a few of the original settlers, the majority having been repatriated. Since they departed there have been no disturb ances among the native inhabitants who are said to have taken kindly to the change of rulers.
 The railways which were much damaged by the Germans have been repaired right up to Lake Tangany- ika. The most urgent need of the colony is the resumption of shipping, coastwise and with Europe, for on this the prosperity of the country chiefly depends.

100000 Worth
 of Boats Are in
 HarbOr of Seattle

Seattle, Nov. S.--A gray fleet of AS war-built, uncompleted, wooden cargo vessels tugs idly at it's moor ings in Lake Union, near the heart of Seattle. The boats, some of them barely more than hulls, are owned by the United States Shipping board and are worth S12,000,000, it has been estimated. Most of them are ready to receive their engines.
 Ships that didn't get chance" they have been called, as the war which rushed them onto the ways and into the water, ended before they reached the seas to do their share in forming part of "Pershing's s Bridge to carry American men and supplies across the Atlantic to France.
 Side by side the ships lie, most of them in long row near one of Seat ties lake boulevards. After being launched at various northwest yards, several at formal exercises, the ships, one by one, were lowed to Lake Union to wait for the day when they will be completed and set to sail the seven seas.
 There is talk of American, Swed- ish, British and other buyers for the "grav company of vessels. Some of them have been advertised for sale, but as yet none has been sold. Sixty watchmen are on duty at the ships day and night and fire tugs ply around the fleet. On fair days they play their hoses on the decks drenching them as fire protection.

NEW GOLD FIELD OPEN SUNDAY

London, Nov. 8:-Women, who of marvellous gold finds have come from the newly discovered gold fields in the Copper Lake region, 65 miles north of Le Pas, Manitoba, and also at Contact Bay, about 200 miles east of Winnipeg. One man recently came into Le Pas, it is said, with a canoe load of sacks filled with gold. He wanted the gold made into bricks.
 Stampeders are rushing to the new fields and Winnipeg stores are doing rushing business outfitting expedi- tions.
 The story of the gold find itself sounds like an old Klondike tale. Jacob Cook, an Indian prospector, while on his way to his cabin on Copper Lake, tripped and fell over rusty spur of quatz. fingered by the fall he struck the spur with his pick and saw evidence of gold. With ing few minutes he opened up a streak four. inches wide and several feet deep which assayers declare s almost pure gold. l.

 dl.Jt l,'1t of T tour of inspection in the
 eSa,f :Sar;an provinces of Russia: takes

 t;sn tasM Mr. Zumoto, who has just re-
 ,.lod nlod +o Tokio, presents his opinions
 5IIo ISa Kokumin Shimbun and says
 :. .n tbe conditions are tending to-
 rd the establishment of a separate
 gerian regime founded upon the
 isbas of the people of Siberia. He
 oa1,le aThe main causes for the defeat of
 ic Siberian army are, first, a lack
 s nerfect understanding between Eoneral Gaida, commander of the ;sht wing, and the chief of the gen. so1 I Istaff: second. the vain efforts to stah1ish ae, communications with the al-
 oS ;n northern Russia forgetting the |n,nortance eT of keeping strategical (o,,mpmunications ,,p with Denikine army; Eb;rd b;, a lack of discipline and mili- |arv m training of the majority of the E;berian army; fourth, a lack of com. batent officers to command the troops Ind fifth. the absence of fighting Inirit among the soldiers"
 Of these causes, the editor says, Inc last formed the most important End basic factor of the defeat of the Eiherian army. Under these circum- (tances, he said it was only natural That great political change would bccur in Siberia, granting that the bnifieation of the whole Russia is 10 be abandoned as a matter of in- feasibility. MT. Zumoto continues: q think the coming political change in Siberia will appear in the shape of the formation of pure au- tonomic government excluding Ad n,iral Kolchak, a government fespec- linz peoples will and freedom, which is sure to be welcomed by the Siber- ian people craving for their indepen- dence and autonomy. Meanwhile an opposition must be anticipated from the bureaucratic and military ele- ments in Siberia to such popular gov ernment. But should the powers, Japan, support such a government it's formation will be easily effected. In the event of the appearance of such a government in Siberia, Japan should take the lead to give it sincere support and possi- ble assistance, which will eventually result in the restoration of peace and order in Siberia. Japan will then be able to withdraw her troops and be saved from the defrayal of immense for the maintenance of her troops and irreparable loss of her brave soldiers for no good ac- count What is most important i:l such an eventuality is that no pow CTS shall interfere in the. coming po- litical change in Siberia. " It would be most inadvisable for the powers to attempt to interfere in Siberian affairs or to run counter to the nat Qral course of the worlds current" "
