NEW U. s. TARIFF DOES NOT EFFECT
 TRADE WITH CHINA

SHANGHAI, Dec. 30. China's trade will be less affected than that of any other country by the new American tariff law, according to views expressed in official and com mercial circles in Shanghai. The chief exports from China that are affected by the American tariff are egg products, peanut and soya bean oil and peanuts and walnuts. These constitute less than fifth of China's annual experts to the United States.
 The bulk of China's exports to America in aggregate valuation com prises raw cotton, silk. tea hides, undressed furs, fur skins, carpet wool, wood oil and sausage castings, or about 70 per cent of the country's. exports, and these are continued on the free list
 Hair nets, strawbraid, feathers and down, constituting about 10 per cent of China's exports, are said to be admitted under the same scale of duties that obtained under the 1913 tariff.
 The new laws increase from 45| per cent to 55 per cent on manu- factured silk. including pongees will not materially affect this trade, it is believed. nor is it thought that ad- ditions in the advalorem duty from 50 per cent to 90 per cent on faces and from 60 to 70 per cent on em-l broideries will have much effect inl reducing the bulk of these exports.

CONTRACT ASKED BY CALVIN FOR
 BIG PULP UNIT
Wrangell Promoter ClaimsI Financiers Ready to Co
 Ahead with Project.

Financiers interested in paper and pulp development at Elliott Bay, near Wrangell, are ready to go ahead as soon as contracts can be secured for timber supplies, according to tele- gram received by District Forester Charles H. Flory from J. c. Calvin, promoter of the project, who is now in New York City. Mir. Calvin has requested as early action as possible,
 In his wire to MT. Flory he said that engineers who examined the timber resources and the water pow CT project to which he had secured d preliminary permit, have made re- ports even mohe favorable that was expected by himself and associates. These have impressed the men who are ready to finance the project with the desirability of going ahead, he said. Before they will proceed, how ever, they have asked that contracts for timber supplies be secured from the Forest Service.
 MT. Flory has requested MT. Gal win to furnish data on the financial backing of the proposition and as- sured him that a suitable timber area will be available for supplies. This area has yet to be determined upon and cruised, which will be done as soon as weather conditions will per init.
 Nothing is known by the Forest Service of the capital MT. Calvin has interested. Several weeks ago a tele- gram was received at District Hedd- quarters, signed by one J. c. Ste een- erson, who gave his address at the Coal and Iron National Bank of New York City, saying that $7,000,000 was available to establish a manuf ,ctlr. ing plant on the Calvin site f lie reports of engineers were favorable
 The water power examination was made by an engineer named Breck, formerly an engineer on the Alaska Railroad and now connected with reliable New York engineering firm. He completed his work several weeks ago and went East. The timber sur vey was made by Engineer Vanors- del, representing the Lacy engineer ing firm of Seattle and other Pacific Coast cities. Both reports, accord ing to Mr. Calvin, were favorable Data on the financial end of the proposition is expected by MT Flory in a short time.

SHACKLED TO
 BED } YEARS

CHICAGO, Dec. BOA tragic ex pression Of mother love was revealed here when authorities penetrated the Mystery House.
 In a rear room they found the wasted frame of thirty-year-0ld James Kozeny, bound hand and foot to bed. For three years his mother had kept him prisoner, fearing that he would be taken from her When released Kozeny was unable to move his limbs, paralyzed by their long shackling.
 Mrs. Kczeny, the only other occu- pant of the cottage that became known as Mystery House. because of the weird cries and gibbering talk that filtered through it's board ed windows, fought officers who at- tempted to gain entrance. They were forced to break down a barricade with an ax.
 You cant take my boy from mel Mrs. kozeny screamed. You can Kill me, but you can't have him."
 The rear room, in which the son, a living skeleton, was confined, had been walled up by the mother. He was kept in darkness. Mrs Kozeny, it was said, herself had become maniac from her self imposed imprisonment. She left the house only long enough to buy pro-  visions, she said haunted by fear that her son would be taken from her.
 Mother and son were taken to a psychopathic hospital
