BANKERS To HAVE
CHINESE PARLEY
Great Interest Stirred Over
Coming Talk On Interna-
tiOnal Consortium.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 23.-John F.
Stevens, representing the American
banking group of the International
Consortium, will arrive here this
week, and great interest is felt
in Chinese financial and mercantile
circles. Opposition to the. consor.
tium is breaking down and there
is an intense desire to give Ste
vens an opportunity to clarity the
situation. The Chinese desire the
full terms of the international
agreement and full publicity for all
contracts, with assurance that no
loans will be made without sane
tion Of Parliament and the full
membership of the Chinese banking
group.
The Canton government has is
sued an invitation to Stevens to
visit there, but he cannot go with
out offending the North. The po-
litical situation is delicate. in view
of the impending resignation of the
cabinet about the Chinese new year.
Stevens success depends largely
upon his personality and his free
dom to impart facts.

PICTURES PROVE
ATFAIRIESE EXIST
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in
Article for English Paper
. Makes Assertion.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-Fairies actual
ly exist and have been photo
graphed. This assertion is made by
Sir Arthur. Conan Doyle in a re-
markable article in the STRAND
Magazine"
The fairy photographs are repro
duced. They were taken in York
shire three years ago by two girls,
Iris Carpenter. 16. and her cousin
Alice, 10. In one of them Alice
stands behind a hedgeside bank, and
at her feet, in among the flowers and
bracken, are four fitting fairy fig-
ures of the traditional story-book
type-long- haired, gossamer-robed,
and complete with transparent
wings. just the way fairy specialists
have always depicted them.
The other photograph shows a lit
tie imp or gnome dancing round the
feet of Iris. He also is true 40
type. His little face is whimsically
puckered and he, too. boasts a pair
of wings OF the moth type.
Sir Arthur declares that several
expert photographers have been
shown the original negatives of the
fairy photographs. and have salts
fed themselves that they are in no
wise faxed"
The pictures either stand or fall
together" says Sir Arthur, in the
course of his article. Both are
false or both are true. All the cir
cumstances point to the latter al
tentative"
The little girls say they have
seen and known the fairies all their
lives and they regard the whole
thing as a matter of course.

was summoned to Pittsburgh yes
terday to appear as a witness
against William Jordan. said to be
from Baltimore, arrested for selling
lots that did not exist.
Some time ago, 1t is alleged, Jor-
dan secured an option on the Swan
Pond farm. near this city, which
was to be turned into building lots
adjacent to a a'factory to be erected
by the Detroit Motors Corporation
for the construction of cheap cars.
1t was ascertained no such a con-
Germ existed and answering to blind
advertisements, alleged to have been
inserted by Jordan in Pittsburgh
papers led to the exposure OF the
scheme, following communication
between the Pittsburgh and Cumber-

1t is thought scores have been

with the Treuga in Vienna for this
purpose and devices for giving Sc
curity to foreign creditors for mate
rials supplied were proposed. BY an
official order the foreign exporter
secures lien on raw materials sup
piled by him, and any contracts be-
tween foreign exporter and Austrian
manufacturer are to be placed in the
hands of the Chamber of Commerce.
and by this department special Sc
curity is assured to the foreign
creditors in case of distraint on the
defaulting debtors assets.
