NEW YORk, March 14. A graphic description of famine scenes in China, and explanation of theii cause and outline of methods 0: relief is given by Charles Davis Jameson, who has been civil en- gineer in China since 1895 and fol the last ten years has been con- nected with the Department oi Canine and Flood Control of the Chinese government.
 A silent panic" spreads rapidly over the famine-stricken area when the people realize their danger of starvation, says MT. Jameson. "All the people. when hunger sets in and the food is all gone are wandering not to any definite point, hut to any place which changes the scene of their misery he adds. Business is 1t once paralyzed When last passed through famine district, there was not a cart of any kind in the roads or streets. Not a mule lcr a horse nor a wheelbarrow was cen in motion. Not coolie was encountered going to or from mar
 ct It was as if a great fear were yer the whole country and the eople were holding their breath nd listening and waiting for a horror. None but the starving or ick are seen in the streets at such time. Famine fever and typhus ,on break out in every town and ity.
 Dying Are Everywhere.
 Outside the walls of these towns nd On the highways are emaciated alf-demented men, women and hildren going anywhere, sometimes ith a few belongings which they ,nnot sell Some may carry bowls baskets containing leaves, twigs,
 raw or bark from the trees. Nearly very tree is stripped of it's bark nd dying. The people walk until Icy can walk no more and then Sit own and die.
 Not a day goes by but one pass : bodies in the highways or at the
 adsides and the fields-men, omen, children and babies. Over ,e fields and along the roads prowl
 arving dogs that once more are cree wolves-gaunt, hungry, say qe-devouring what lies in their way. In some instances men and women, insane, fight with the dogs or food. And once one of these dogs is killed, he is at once eaten tey man or dog
 Two Years of Bad Crops,
 MT. Jameson asserts that thel thati has now fallen upon nillions of Chinese is due to mol aek of industry for they are the most remarkable farmers in the, ,yorld," although their methods and .ools are much the same as thoseI used in Egypt i'll the time of Moses. The people live a hand-to-mouth existence and a failure of crops one year means underfeeding. Two years rf bad crops brings starvation and worse.
 .This is the second year and the ~oople have no1food or money. They have sold their belongings for few cents. There is no credit and the land is being sold at a quarter or it's value Families are bartering their children because they have no food for them. Many small children 9nd babies are being killed.
 There is nothing to eat but leaves, twigs, the bark of trees and grass roots. The Chinese govern ment is giving what aid it can but no business can be done and every thin@ is at a standstill. The only real hope of the starving is in for cign money, administered under for eign supervision. But to save the people, this aid must come quickly.

TOM AITKEN QUITS
 KANTISHNA; GOING
 TO THE KUSKOKWIM

{ Tom Aitken, blg mining operator
 in the kantishua district, is quitting that field and is going to return to the Kuskokwim district and oper- ate his dredge on Candle Creek, according to information received from the Interior on the Alameda.
 The announcement of Aitken's in tention caused much surprise among the old timers now in Juneau, as he has been operating in the Kan tishna for the past two years, having eophered the rich spots on high grade galena property.
 About 400 tons of ore, all of it has been hauled from the Aiken mine to Roosevelt this winter, and there remains about 80 or 90 tons to be delivered at the river landing before the breakup. When that is done, it is said, Aitken will be ready to turn the galena property back to Joe Quigley from whom it was purchased on a partial payment OH royalty basis. The terms are said to have been SIC. 900 cash at the time of occupation and the balance of the purchase price of S230 900 in later payments. one of which will become due in December. The agreement
 is said to have also stipulatd that Quigley receive 15 per cent gross of the value of all ore marketed, but just what that will amount to is hard to ascertain because a large part of the ore mined last winter is still at Roosevelt and scattered along the Kantishna River The amount is variously estimated at from $3o 900 to $50.000 and if the next pay claims will revert to their original owner.
 It is claimed that Aiken would have continued to operate in the Kantishna had he been able to tie up any one of the several rich lodges which have been partially opened up since he began work on the Quigley property. He is said to have ap- preached Alois Friedrich with an of fer and that he also tried to get possession of a very rich ledge which Quigley is now developing. But, it is claimed he has not been success ful in these efforts and is going to quit the district in Consequence, for feiting his equity in properties which are said to be still very rich, with thousands of tons of ore in sight some of it on the waste dump-that range in value from a few dollars to $160 ton Nothing under the latter value will pay to ship.

THRILLING DEFECTIVE STORY SEEN AT PALACE THEATRE

Partners d the Night on at the Palace tonigh> for the last tire, is a mighty interesting detective story. There is only one woman iii the cast. Mary Began. and she is in nearly every foot of the various reels There is action from the start to the finish and the finish comes suddenly and satisfactorily to all who see this production.
 Last night the Palace had p big first show audience and Manager Spickett says that only words of praise were heard While Partners of the Night" is a detective story, it is a little bit unusual, for the theme, that of trying to prevent men and women from being criminals, is one of the questions of the day.
 The theme is worked out clevarly despite the many frameups on the three principal characters.

End, 1921, bringing her age to SO years,

The driver of the Beloit car stepped
out, and as he saw another car coming
toward them, he tried to give warning;
this the man failed to notice and the
oncoming car slid against the Beloit
man in such way as to knock him
down, fracturing both legs. The frac-
lures were bad, and he was taken to a
GAINESVILLE hospital for treatment. The
new snow on the roads Sunday made
driving of autos very slippery opera
