Say what you may, riches do enable many men to flout the law. Money can often stop the wheels of Justice. It is infinitely more difficult to jail a rich man than poor man. That's beyond dispute. When. therefore, a rich, powerful wrongdoer does happen to be forced behind prison bars, the common people rejoice heartily. They feel that for once justice has triumphed over gold. Occasions for such rejoicing are not numerous, for although many rich men are indicted, few are jailed. Forbes Magazine.

AMERICA JOINS IN
 WARNING ID CHINA Nations Insist That Foreigners Must Be Released

Picking. Nov. 16. - (By Associated Press)-Measures for the immediate release of the foreign missionaries kidnapped by Chinese bandits were demanded of the Picking government today by the American, British. 1tal- ian, French and Swedish ministers who acted under instructions of their governments.
 The five ministers, presenting a joint note, called in person and in formed executives of the Chinese re- public that the continued retention or the missionaries in captivity would not be tolerated by the powers The powers, it was said, would be com pelled to act drastically unless the missionaries were released and guar antees given for the future safety of other missionaries in China.
 The note was couched in vigorous language It declared that the mis- sionaries were carrying on their work in the interior of China under treaties which had been violated by the ab- ductors.
 It is understood that Washington lnStrucJ6Q JdCOD IUulu DCHuIihohy tAS American minister, to impress upon China the seriousness of the bandits activities in detaining foreigners for political motives.
 Dr. Schurman protested only in be- half of the two American captives, but joined the other ministers in general complain against interference with the treaty rights of missionaries
 Besides the Americans, the captives now include one Greek, one French citizen, one British subject, one Swed- ish and one Italian.
 The bandits have seized the var ious nationals with a view to forcing the Picking government to incorporate the bandits in the regular Chinese army. Most of the brigands are dis missed soldiers who want reinstatI ment.
 Picking probably will be forced to accede to the bandits demands in ord CT to satisfy the powers.

Up March 8.

CHICAGO, Feb. &c. Wartime
working agreements for railroad
employees have now been completely
revised by the United States Rail-
road Labor Board, except for small
disputes. and with this gigantic
task completed. wages are to be
taken up on March 6.
1t required practically eighteen
months for the board to readjust
the working rules granted more
than 100000 railroad workers un-
der Federal control and. according
to unofficial estimate, the carriers
will profit under the revisions by
about 500. 100000.
The wage controversy starting
next week will be spirited. IL is
forecast, with employees protesting
against any reduction in present
wago schedules.
big Four to Escape Cut.
The big four" brotherhoods and
the Switchmen's Union of North
america are not included in the
wage hearings. They are negotiat-
ing wages and working rules with
the carriers through their own re-
gional boards, and 1t is stated by
high authorities that these classes
of employees will not receive reduc-
tions in wages. 1t is expected. how
ever. that some of the overtime
privileges will be trimmed. but not
until after the unions hold their
conventions in May.
The big four" have reached a
"gentleman's agreement" with the
railroads, according to belief here.
and it is predicted that announce
ment of the parIeys with the roads
will show little change in present
wage conditions.
Will Fight shop Crafts.
The carriers are expected to make
their biggest fight for wage reduc-
tions on the shop crafts and in the
common labor branches of employees
An effort will be made to cut
these employe TO prevailing rates
for the same classes of workmen in
other industries The shopmen will
be heard first and a decision handed
down as quickly as possible. ac-
cording to report. The other classes
will be heard in the same order that
they were affected in the ruels con-
trovers.'.
lt Is expected that an entire new
schedule of wages for the 100000
members of the shop crafts and at
least 100000 other rail workers will

dered his troops to advance from
Yochow to Changsha, in order TO
protect that city against the con-
stitutionalists.
Gen. wu Pei Flu frankly wished
to avoid politics. but he is deter
mined that DR.. Sun Vat Sens forces

effort to conciliate the various pro-
vincial generals to present a united

the Southern President either to re-
treat orSto accept disaster. Al
though dominating seven provinces
having a total of 100000 troops
Gen. WI Pei Flu has only 100000
mobile troops, while the constitu-
tionalists have $1,000.
Gen. WI Pei Fu's troops are dis
posed as follows:
The main body OF 10000 troops Is
at Yochow, I22 miles from Hankow
on the Human border, under Chang
Flu Lai. These are chiefly Chill

along the Peking- g-Hankow Railway
They are formed so as to prevent
a rear attack by Chang Tso-Ling
or to squelch disorders in Peking
Thus il appears that while Sun

Gen. WI Pei Flu, on the other hand
is not able to concentrate a strong
