MATCH BOX TRICK WORKS,
 BUT ONE MAN IS IN JAIL

PORTLAND, April 23.-The old matchbox trick worked to perfec- ton on Broadway last week and as a result the victim is short $25 and one man is in custody of the po- lice.
 John Balough, cabbage farmer, of Orenco, Oregon, said that as he was walking along the street man walk out and accosted him for a match. He pulled a box of matches from his pocket and as he did so another man stepped from the crowd and offered the first man his box of matches.
 Here, try these,' he is alleged to have said. The second mans box refused to open.
 Balough volunteered to open it, and without noticing 1t, received his own box of matches. The box open ed readily. The second man tried again, receiv ing the fake box and it refused to open.
 Talk of backing their judgment with money led to Balough placing $25 on being able to open the box He lost.
 Balough refused to take his loss lightly and called a traffic police man on a nearby corner and one of the men was taken to police head l quarters.
 He first said that he was Jimmy Duffy, San Francisco fighter, but lat CT told Inspector Swennes that he was Harold D. Phillips. He refus- ed to give the name of his compan- ion. Bail was set at s1,5OO.

Ten Million Chinese
 Are Tn Want of Food

CHICAGO, April 23.-More than ten million Chinese are reported to be in actual want of food in eight provinces where word from Bishop L. J. Birney of Shanghai, received by the Chicago office from the Methodist Episcopal board of foreign missionaries, indi- cates that fifteen million persons were affected by the winter flood and fam inc in north and west China.
 A heavy toll of life continues to be taken as a result of the conditions, the bishop reports. Many hundreds of thousands of west Chinese had their lands flooded and sand was washed down from the mountains and covered the top soil. Dikes were broken with similar conditions in north China with an estimated property loss running in to the hundreds of millions of dollars
 Funds available, the commission re ports, are insufficient to grant relief to more than six and one-half per cent of the victims and it has been able tC obtain employment for only 30,000 oi the homeless.

OXFORD STEADFASTLY REFUSES TO CLEAN UP
 ITS NSANITARY DIRT

OXFORD, Eng, Apr 22-Called up- on recently to consider a proposal for in Oxford, the town council decided virtually to do nothing for the reason that this same project had first been submitted to it 20 years ago. Where upon it was recalled that Oxford has been unenviably notorious in this re- gard for six centuries.
 Since the year 1900 the cleaning of Oxford streets has been subject of constant argument Edward III, in the fifth year of his reign, stirred up great clamor by commanding all OK onians, townsmen and students alike, to take besoms, brushed and buckets and clean the town from end to end. That was the last mass attack upon the accumulated dirt for which Oxford like all other medieval towns, was ia nous.
 In the middle of the sixteenth cen tury an even greater clamor resulted from the imposition of "taxe to cleanse the streets" and to pay the persons as shall be hyred to carry away such donghylls as be soysom to thys towne' The two "skavingers" appointed as a result of this imposi- tion were lax fellows, but by curi- ous happening the results of their l idleness were ascribed to Providence rather than to accumulated dirt. One Jencks, a religious but obsetreperous stationer, was hailed before the magis- trates and condemned to lose his ears. That very night there arose such in fectious damp or breath among the people that many were smothered, and all the court died"
 Five years after this unpleasant wis itation the town council passed gen eral street-cleaning enactment, which remains as the basis of the system now employed. By this act pigsties were forbidden over waters leading to breweries, poll-tax was imposed for the securing of the local ponds, meats and streams and provision was made for the bi-weekly sweeping of streets and alleys.
 At the last meeting of the town coun cil this ancient question was again re. vived Extreme reformers had sug- gested that the times of street clean. ing might come at closer intervals and that the methods employed might be improved. The council gave it's close attention to the matter, but as it was discovered that the same suggestion has been recorded on the councils books for more than 20 years, the ques tion was reserved.

RESTLESS WORLD
 SEEKING HOMES
 IN NEW COUNTRIES

GENEVA, April 23.-With the one
 and three-fourth billion inhabitants of the world showing a more marked tendency than ever to respond to the eternal appeal of "Westward Ho,"
 emigration will constitute one of the most serious questions with
 which almost every nation of the
 world will have to deal during the
 coming year, according to the Inter
 national Labor Bureau.
 The present restlessness of the hu-
 man race is due largely to abnormal
 conditions resulting from the war
 and to the ever-increasing awakening
 of the races of the Far East.
 The International Labor Bureau has just collected information on
 all of the various manifestations,
 legislative and otherwise, to which
 the present migratory tendency has given rise turnout the world Owing to the fact that emigration to date has been considered a dis tinctly domestic problem very little international effort has been made towards any solution of it. The situation, however, has become so serious, especially since the war and
 with the ever-increasing amount of restrictive legislation that there is
 marked tendency for the problem to come up on the international
 carpet for solution.
 To date the principal international effort in this field was made at the
 emigration congress held last year
 at Rome. This congress dealt only
 with certain technical and humani- tartan aspects of the problem and
 kept religiously off of the political aspect
 This year two other international efforts are in view on the subject.
 The first of these is complete
 worldwide investigation of the pro- blem to be made by the Interna- tional Labor Bureau. The second International effort is the American
 proposal of an international con ference of all the American repub- lies in order to try and arrive at q common emigration policy.
 All oL these efforts according to
 experts, aie indicative of tha pres ent tendency of the question to
 become an international instead of a purely domestic one.

SAN BIAS DISTURBANCES
 DECLARED NOT SERIOUS

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 23.-
 Recent disturbances among the San
 Bias Indians never reached a more
 serious stage than mob disorders in
 few native towns, the Pan-Ameri-
 can legation declared yesterday in
 making flat denial of a statement
 by R. o. Marsh, American explorer,
 that a battle" had taken place be-
 tween the Indians and Pan-Ameri-
 can troops.
 "The few policemen stationed in Indian villages were assassinated by
 mobs," Minister Alfaro said. Four teen policemen, school teachers and civilians lost their lives in the up rising. The participation of MT. Marsh in these events, the pretend ed request of an American protector ate over the Tule nation, and the report that the American flag had been raised in the affected region, caused the American minister to pro- ceed there aboard the gunboat Cleve- land.
 The department of state discon- tinued the attitude of MT. Marsh, and the American minister, acting accord ingly and displaying praiseworthy tact, advised the rebelhous Indians to submit to Panaman authorities.
 The Indians, free from the influence
 of Marsh, quickly submitted and fur ther bloodshed was prevented"
