be a merry master of ceremonies; ne
wanted to be one of those hoWlingly
funny fellows SO popular with Vauoe-
vile audiences. -.
A little more than two years ago his
l,,1 chance came. It was at the Grand
Theater in Chicago. Tom caught ms
cue early in the performance ana OUT
he pranced onto the stage.
"i aides and gentlemen" he began:
suddenly he felt that his chest had
cayed in. He didn't have enough
breath to utter q sound. He bowed
abruptly, returned to the wings, IN
a3laled deeply a few times and came
back to the footlights. The audience,
was a part of his routine, laughed
heartily. After that the job was easy.
and Toms master Of ceremonyshlp
was a huge success. He would have
continued in this congenial atmosphere
indefinitely, but an operation was
necessary and Waring went TO nos
pital for repairs. 80,
Waring was 20 February IL, 1881.
He began his musical training at an
early age. Before he started TO school
he was able to hammer out Annie
Laurie" and other melodies on the
piano.

to see most Of Europe.

the grounds Of the F. Ambrose Clarke

DECLINE PREDICTED
IN DEMAND FOR OIL
Decrease in Number of Motor We
hicles Expected to Reduce Con-
sumption in Next s Months.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Declines in the demand for motor
fuel and crude oil from october to
June 80, 1882, were predicted today
by the Volunteer Committee on Pc
troleum Economics.
Its estimate, given Secretary Of the
Interior Wilbur, chairman of the Oil
Conservation Board, fixed the de-
mand for motor fuel at 22,635 900
barrels, 1.6 per cent less than for the
same period ending June 80. 1881,
when 327 ,889 900 barrels were used.
The demand for crude oil was placed
at 678 900 900 barrels, 81 per cent less
than the demand for the period end
ing June 80, 1881, when 692, 442, 900
barrels had been consumed.
The Volunteer Committee is COM
posed of E. B. Swanson, chief econo-
mist of the petroleum division of the
Bureau of Mines John w. Frey Of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Martin Van COVERING, Pc
troleum engineer of Los Angeles; AL
fred G. White, National Industrial
Conference Board, New York City, and
Howard Bennette, Western Petroleum
Refiners' Association.
The committee said the decrease in
motor fuel demand would result from a
similar decrease in the number of motor
vehicles in use.
General business conditions, the re-
port said, directly influence motor fuel
consumption more by limiting normal
growth in demand than by causing any
sharp decline from vehicles already in
use.

we're fighting broke out yesterday, and
was continuing early today, resulting IN
many deaths. The fighting was between
police and disorderly elements which
allegedly were supplied arms and am
munition by the Japanese.
Chinese advices said Chang Hsueh-
Cheng, a cousin of the Chinese gov
ernor of Manchuria, Chang Hsueh-
LANG. "led the rioters against Chinese
troops and police"
Tientsin authorities were described as
having been aware Of a plot to cause
disorders, but did not expect such mass
attacks as were made, and had no in
formation that the rioters would be
equipped with modern arms"
PEiPING, November 9 R).-Chinese
official dispatches from Tientsin said
japanese troops rained a lombard
ment of 40 shells on the Chinese Sec
ton of the city this morning.
Four Chinese were killed and 10
wounded in the bombardment. The
Smelling was said to have followed a
refusal of Gen. Wang Shu-Chang,
chairman of the Chinese provincial
government, to accede to q demand
from the japanese garrison commander
that all Chinese troops be withdrawn
a distance of 800 yards from the
Japanese concession boundary.
In refusing to comply with the
Japanese demand to withdraw his
troops, Gen. Wang Is said to have de-
clared such move was impossible as
long as mobs of rioters from the con-
cession were still attacking police.
The Japanese order was issued at
am. It was repeated at 8 and the
bombardment began at z.
All fighting had ceased an hour after
the Smelling this morning. the dis
patches said, and Chinese troops took
over control of the city from police.

Meanwhile the State Department

Manchuria, have been requested by
American consular authorities to with

They are Mr.. and Mrs. J. @. Vos,

Cracker, Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
Secretary Stimson, in declining to
say whether this Government Is con-
sidering increasing its armed forces in
the Fa- East, pointed out that the
United States has in Tientsin two bat
talions of infantry, comprising about
700 men. There are Marines at other
points and, in addition, the Asiatic
feet is near at hand.
Secretary of War Hurley, replying to
questions by newspaper men, said there
had been no discussions of increasing
American forces in China. About a
year ago, he said, the possible with
draWal of the 18th Infantry was con-
sidered, but the idea was abandoned.
