THE board of trustees of Johns

issued the following dictum:
The maximum fee that any surget n

matter how wealthy the patient may be.
is $1,000. Tic maximum charge that
any physician ought to make for at

This is timely order and will be ap-
proved by most reasonable persons.
Surgeons have been advancing their
charges to such an extent and hospitaI

THERE has been a good deal OF
comment because Governor Morgan
has pardoned from prison Mike Vein
icke, a Wheeling bandit who in 1919
was sent to the penitentiary for twenty
wears for holding up bank and rob-
bling it Of a large sum Of money. It's
hard enough to catch and convict such
desperadoes. Only under the most
remarkable circumstances should they
ever be turned loose again upon a
harassed community.

clpate IN discussion of Pacific and

ment conference, was formally ac-
copied by China today with a pledge
that her representatives would ap-
proach their task with a solmen sense
OF It's significance and with a spirit
OIL perfect frankness and cordiality."
To the Chinese people, the note of
acceptance declared, the questions of
the Pacific and the Far East appear
to be questions affecting the peace of
the world of the present day." It was
ADDED that the Chinese government
mad no desire to limit the scope of the
discussions nor, turn them into any
controversial channel.
The Chinese acceptance was the
nrst of af ormal character to be re-
celved. although BRAND of France al
ready had expressed the acquiescence
or his government Replies from
Great Britain. Italy and Japan are ex-
pected within the next few DAYS.
Advices reached the State depart =
ment today that the Chinese delega

Joe, who is six years old, doesn't
look very happy and nobody can blame
him much, for it's fact, no doubt in
expllcable to gentlemen who employ
children, that when a chap is six he is
naturally possessed of depraved and
vicious desire to romp and play. In
addition, there are a lot of unreason-
ably interfering persons who insist that
at about that age boy or girl should
start going to school. They have even
gone SO far as to build school houses
and pass laws making school attend
ance compulsory.
But in the beet raising districts of
Colorado and of Michigan, in the cot
ton growing areas of Texas, Oklahoma
and Imperial Valley, California; in the
tobacco raising regions of Kentucky
and Connecticut, the berry fields of
Michigan and California, the cranberry
hogs OF New Jersey. the onion fields of
Ohio and on the truck farms of Della
ware, they don't pay much attention to
school attendance laws The child
workers attend only when there is no
work to be done in the fehs. The
farm owners are influential and the
school officials hesitate to antagonize
them. You see, if "hecter" or cotton
picker or tobacco plantation hand can
work his whole family, :=.5ividual
wages and piece rates need not be so

ator Ashurst, Dem, Arizona, "bolted"
the conference, announcing that he
would take no part therein. or sign any
report unless the amendment was re-
tanned precisely as originally written.
Senator Ashurst told the Senate the
effect Of the House substitute would
iegalize home manufacture of beer
and liquor.
At the end of an all-day wrangle
in conference and in the Senate. ac-
cording to leaders, the whole course
OF the proposed anti-beer legislation
hinged upon hope of agreement by
Senate and House managers. The re-
suit of the days deliberations was said
to have been the virtual wrecking OF
the amendment from the shape in
which it received unanimous vote.
House managers were said to have
agreed to leave it intact so far as it
related specifically to the searching
of a home on a warrant obtained I'M
der the general law, with demand
that severe penalties. put there as
means of protecting the home. be
sharply cut.
During the Senate debate there were
insistent demands that a mans prop
erty. including his barn. his baggage.
automobile or garage, should he sub
jected to the same safeguards that
surrounded his actual place of abode.
But the conferees were reported to
have about agreed to modification
that warrant would not be required
to search "other property providing
a prohibition officer had reason to be-
lieve the suspect was guilty and If
the search was not prompted by
malice.
In other respects the differences in
the Senate and House measures we're
, reconciled Leaders said the House
, would accept the changes indicated,
although they frankly expressed
doubt as to the possible attitude of
the Senate.
, So pronounced was the opposition Of
House prohibition leaders to the Stan
ley amendment that the indicated pri

regulations be issued rather than &C

ed on the floor of the Senate by SEN
ator Reed Democrat. Missouri. as
"unwarranted and unmtigated inso-
lence." Both Senator Sterling and
Mr.. Wheeler denied that the latter had
participated.
