PAINS And ills
MAKE CHINESE
OPIUM VICTIMS
Missionary Says Yellow Man
Uses Dope in Place Of Medi-
cines

OKLAHOMA City, Sept. ~
Chinese smoke opium because they
know no other way to Danish pals
Or fatigue, said r. A. Macleod
who recently returned from seven
years as missionary of the dis
Of Christ in Tibet, and who will
make one of the principal addresses
at the International convention of
the church here October Gil.
The Chinese are of great self
control but, ''like the rest of the
human race, they are subject to
the pains and ills of life," Mr..
Macleod declared.
In Yunnan Province, which is
rs large as California and with
twice the number of inhabitants,
the missionary pointed out, there
Is only one dentist and two doctors.
If a man has a tooth ache he
knows no other means of relief
except to smoke opium.
Transportation facilities in the
province are such that goods have
to be carried by the people from
one town to another. Somtimes a
man will carry a burden of 100
pounds rs miles a day for is days
said Mr.. Macleod, and at the end
of each days journeyfinds relief
from his exhaustion smoking the
opium pipe.
$50 it is" the missionary ex-
planned, ''that from pain which can
not be relieved by any other means
and from fatigue and exhaustion
the Chinese have become victims
Of the opium habit"

verdict, having voted just once. Court
was convened and Chapman, hagsard
after his long night OF uncertainty,
stood up in the prisoners dock as the
jurors filed in.
He did not finch at the reading OF
the verdict. Guilty as charged" Nor
did he glance at the jurors. When
Judge Jennings in dischareins the
jurors told then that theirs had been
a just verdict, one wholly satisfac-
tory to me-" Chapman turned to his
guards with their waiting manacIes
and he left for his basement cell with
just the shadow OF sardonic smile
on his lips.
Defense counsel made and lost q
motion TO discard the jury's verdict.
There were tears in the eyes OF
Groehl as he reached a sympathetic
hand to his client.
"Chapple. I'm sorry" he said.
Oh. that's all right" replied the
condemned man with wan smile.

evinced his one emotion Of the day.
His cheeks flushed for an instant. but
he held his head high and looked un-
waverinsIy into the judges eyes. In
clear and distinct voice he said
Nothing TO say and awaited sentence.
Back in the prisoners dock he still
retained his seeming composure His
guards hurried him into waiting

to the prison cell he has occupied

nent through Attorney Groehl. in
which he said that he had had to
combat the wealth and influence of
the Sheans. the ambition of the State
attorney of Hartford County and the
prejudice of the public mind during
the trial"

he did not believe his client guilty
and he would exhaust every ounce
