Fort Worth Feb. 9.-Indo- China
is all wrought up over new law
making it cost 81 to kill woman.
Until lately, according to F. M.
Startling, who lives in the French
Indo- Chinese city of Saigon, but is
visiting his parents at his old home
here, a person Of any standing could
kill woman, accidentally or other
wise, and "get by" with it. But not
now. The 81 law is harshly enforced
against all alike. The men say it is
an outrage.
Rate Very Burde msome
Two dollars may seem like a small
sum here, Mr.. Startling says, but in
Indo- China, money is scarce, incomes
are low and the rate is very burden
some.
If the thing goes no further, &C
cording to some Indo- Chinese, per
haps no great. harm will be done,
but certain fanatics are agitating
already for an advance to $40, which
actually is as much as it costs to
kill man-only an ordinary labor

MAY WHEAT
ADVANCES
OPENING

Chicago, Feb. 9.-Notwithstandin
some hesitancy at the outset wheat
took general upward swing in
price today during the early deal
ings. The principal strength was in
the May delivery in which eastern
interests had concentrated holdings.
Selling at the start appeared to be
of local speculative character
with the offerings readily absorbed
by houses with eastern connections,
and the market soon advanced. The
opening varied from unchanged fig
ures to y cent lower.

plan as disclosed by labor leaders
here contempIates the creation Of

reserve bank with which would
be combined marketing SYSTEM,

The proposed banks would be
capitalized for as low as sic, O00-a
