TRUSTS, RAILROADS, MONEY Beverldge Denounces Sectionalism, North and South, and Says Ex pert Commission Alone " Can Settle Tariff Question. KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Nov. 19 Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, .president of Columbia University, ftpeakinff tonight at the annual dinner of the Kansaa City Commercial Club, declared that the .great questions of banking1 and currency and of the regulation of the transporta t ton systems of t he country a nd of trusts were not properly a matter for partisan exploitation or for party differ ences. These questions, he said, could not be solved by rhetoric or in passion, but only by intellisUU. solicitous study and reflection. "It is the first duty of the patriotic and intelligent business interests of the country." ald Dr. Butler, "to apply themselves to the ta?k of settling the questions in which politics and business border so closely upon each other." Ir. Butler and Senator Beverid. of Indiana, were the gufts of honor at the annual dinner of the club held in com memoration of the signing of the John Jay commercial treaty. Sectionalism Subtle Danger. Mr. Beveridge said all sectionalism fhnuM he abolished and referring to the North and Snuth said: Ther Is no m ire wene In a solid South and a solid North than thrre wis In lhs -lan division of Scotland .VH years ao. C-ilnnal line bane-1 on the heredity of I rjudi- are a more subtle dancer than most of the conventional perils which c fear. The time has come for this condition to pa away. I-t every section of thin coun try anlve Its local problems for itself, hut ucn National problems let every section a-t not a a section but as a part of tha Nation. It ta absurd that New Enr'nd rhouid have a traditional allegiance to Ihe Kepubllran part and that the Srutb Ivjuld le under a traditional nwrtsate to the lmorrat!f party. Speaking for the creation of a tariff commission. Mr. Beverldge said: Need Tariff Commission. As our tariffs have heretofore been con structed by both parties, they hare been un--lnttflc nd crude. Nothing but our jrreat natural resource. utterly overshadowing thoe of other natlona. have saved our for eign trade from extinction. We are shamed bv the fact that comparatively Germany sel today ten finished manuf acturd arti cles abroad here we sell one. German y has been able to do this chiefly by her d nible tariff system. This she budded by having an expert commission solve the ques tion. A wide tariff law cannot be struck off "by men not students of the question work In fr, a few weeks without trying aptitude f r their work The demand of the busi ngs and producing Interests of the 1'nlted States for a modern tariff commission can not longer be Ignored REFORMS ARE TO CONTINUE icontlnued From First Page. myriad of affairs and my strength and my heart are exhausted. Since last Summer I have been 111 and not able to assist in the multitudinous affairs of the government with tranquillity. For long I have been without appetite, nor have I been able to sleep. On Novem ber 14 came the death of the Kmperor and It was then Impossible for me to exercise self-control. Following this day my Illness Increased until now I am not able to rise from my couch. "I look back today over 50 years of sorrow and trouble and even at the end of my life my anxieties still are with me and I can find no appetite. 'Iteform In the methods of govern ment has begun and these ideas will be continued and developed. The Re gent and all its officials should exert t hemselves to strengthen the founda- tions of the Kmpire. Let the Kmperor, 1'u YI. make the affairs of the Kmpire f first importance, and to this end lrt him be adequately instructed." Itarbarous Scene at Death. Accurate information concerning the last days of the Emperor was obtained today from officials of the palace. The various foreign legations have abandoned tli poison theory. Tho Kmperor made & speech less than one hour bofore his death. He passed sway during a period of the greatest ex citement and confusion. His native phy tMclan gave orders that the Kmperor be lrs3ied for death and that imperial yel 3ow clay be spread over the road leading from the Winter Palace to the Forbidden Oiy. At tho same time an Imperial con wya nee was made ready to convey the Kmjxror to the bedchamber. Both of their majesties awaited the com ing of the grim reaper clad in their full official robes and surrounded by hundreds of court officials and followers. It was a barbarous exhibition of the soulless and Inhuman formality and etiquette of the tourt. Gives Assent While Dying. On the night of November 16 the lsaj?er Empress called the members of t he Grand Council together and talked with them for some time. She was lying prone, but fully dressed. After oae hour's consultation the councillors were dis missed but thty were told to return at 2 o'clock in the morning with the edicts prepared to announce the succession to he throne. It Is reported that her ma jesty was able to signify her assent to hese particular edicts, but immediately tift;r having done this she declared: "1 can bear no more and relapsed into unconsciousness. The Kmperor and the Dowager Em press were dead or moribund when the edicts were issued. As soon as It was actually known throughout the palace that their majesties wre dead, a condition of panic ensued. The widow of Tung Chi attempted to commit suicide because she perceived she would not be made Dowager Kmpress. Many of the palace eunuchs fled, carry ing with them such valuables as they could lay their hands on. The Dowager Kmpress Tehonala was one of the few who retained presence of mind. She ordered that the gates be guarded and gave other instructions for the maintenance and restoration of order. Pu Yi. the baby Emperor, has been tak-n from his family and is cared for within the palace precincts. He Is popu larly reported crying? day and night for his old nurse. ASKS PRESIDKXT'S SYMPATHY .Prince Chlng" Sends letter to Kivotetelt in Behalf of Kmperor. PEK1X, Nov. 19. Prince Chine, presi dent of the Board of Foreign Affairs, has forwarded direct to President Roosevelt a personal letter in the name of Pu Yi, the infant Emperor of China, setting forth the crisis through which the throne has passed during the last week. Simi lar letters have been nt to all the oth er powers friendly t China. These com munications make an appeal for sym pathy for. and understanding with, the new rulers of China, ana empnasiw i efficiency with which the event of the paet week have been conducted. Several of the foreign legations here ave expressed their surprise and grati fication at the manner in which the Gov ernment is managing the situation. It na been expected, up to the present time, that the death of the Dowager Em press would precipitate trouble, but the . , . -1 trnwrn mpnt has way in wnn'ii w.e 'x . , assumed its responsibilities 'has created confidence .mow the- ?iPlomat,s",,'ld .v.- rton observers declare Hv that China ha, done a, well under these trying circumstances as coma any 1.., ,nnfronted with similar dif- HgtciiHuM. Acuities. FTTCRE OP EMPIRE SAFE This Is Belief at Shanghai if Yuan Shi Kal is Retained. " SHANGHAI. Nov. 19. The recent events at Pekln have been fully reported here, and It Is felt in Shanghai that the future of the empire is safe, provided the Regent. Prince Chun, retains the serv ices and the support of luan Shi Kai and Chang Chi Tung, the two members of the Grand Council who are. at the same time, the strongest of the present dav statesmen of China. There is no fear here that the revolutionary societies will make trouble, and no troops have been sent from Shanghai or its vicinity to Pekln. The Prince Regent is regarded here as a good man but Inexperienced in affairs of government, and weak. The fact that he is in daily consultation with Chang Chi Tung is regarded as a favorable in dication, for Chang is well considered in Shanghai. The valedictory of the late Kmperor. issued in the form of an Impe rial decree at Pekln. extols his virtues and accords him praise for the reforms he introduced in the matter of schools, local industries, railroad constructions, mining developments, particularly the promise to put the empire on a basis of constitutional government within i.ine vears. This decree is considered as pres aging the policy the new government, un der the Prince Regent, proposes to follow. Yuan Shi Kai is superintending the ob sequies of the late Emperor, and there is no indication here that he has lost any of his Influence or power. Barring a slight curtailment the orig inal programme for the "Autumn army maneuvers is to be carried out. and or ders to this end have been given by the Board of War. Tuan Fang, the Viceroy of Nanking, will remain with the troops during the maneuvers. The temporary suspension of a native bank in Pekln has had no effect on finan cial circles at large.

He Was Well Known. The sailors on the Leyland Brothers had become very well acquainted wHIl Rasmussen during the time t? vessels were moored together, and had formed a warm attachment for him. They spent most of their spare moments together, and when the watchman failed to appear yesterday morning they became alarmed. One of them boarded the Washington at noon yesterday, but could not find him. At 6 o'clock the foreman of the drydoek was appealed to and he recommended a search of the boat, which resulted in the discovery of the dead body. The stranger with whom Rasmussast was last seen on the deck is described as being a well-dressed man of medium height, wearing a gray fedora hat and a well-made long gray overcoat. The two men had been In the engine-room about half an hour when the provision launch Palmer drew up alongside to de liver supplies. When hailed by the launch crew, the stranger made his ap pearance and hurriedly left the vessel. He leaped to the dock and disappeared In the direction of the carline. As Ras mussen did not respond, the provision boat cast oft and left on Its rounds. Lived at San Francisco. The dead man is a member of the Sailors' Union of San Francisco, with relatives living at the Bay City.

Their address and names could not be learned, al though several letters were found among Rasmussen's effects. However, these missives were written in Danish and an Interpreter will have to be summoned to learn their contents. Ras mussen is believed to have had a sum of money in his possession much larger than the $29-10 found in a drawer under his berth, and, in vlaw of the fact that his watch was forcibly removed from his person, it is believed that his mur derer secured the baiance of the dead man's savings. The sailors of the Ley land Brothers are positive that they will be able to Identify the man last seen with Rasmussen, for each of them scrutinized him closely because of the two visits he made to the vessel. Christmas Island, where she was wrecked by striking a reef on which she was car ried by the strong sea encountered on her voyage from the Golden Gate to Au stralia, via Apia, was sold at Sydney by tha underwriters for J375. according to mail advices received here, and a schooner is being outfitted with a donkey engine on board to save what could be taken from the wreck.
