BAN FRANCISCO, April 22. Chinese
ratrlotlsm of an unexpected variety has
interfered with plans of LI Sum-Ling,
opeclal commissioner of the Chinese
ministry of finance, and friend of Presi
dent Tuan Shi Kal. -to arouse the pa
triotism" of the Chinese in the United
States.
Threats of death have been conveyed
to him, ho said today, by telephone and
by letter since his appearance at a mass
meeting- and offered baby bonds" of
f 100 in denomination to his countrymen.
When LI Sum-Ling appeared before
members of the Chinese Six Companies
and offered the bonds for sale he faced
Inquisitors -who changed the Intended
nature of the meeting. Chinese lead
ers disagree as to the advisability of
another meeting.
Reports that Yuan Shi Kal had ac
ceded to some of the Japanese de
mands on China and that Chinese in
Canada were starving while the Chinese
Government failed to aid them were
voiced in the Interrupting questions of
the audience. The bond sale did not
progress.
Prominent Chinese merchants and of
ficials, including Consul-Generial Hsu
Shan Ching and the Vice-Consul, were
the audience. The bonds were offered
at 90 with Interest at 6 per cent.
"Patriotism," to which LI Sum-Ling
appealed when he took the platform, in
creased in vigor until the Chinese en
voy left the room. There was excite
ment along the streets of Chinatown
until the envoy reached his hotel.
LI Sum-Ling, who is the director,
owner or part owner of several Chi
nese papers, said his mission waa to in
still Into the Chinese a firm loyalty to
the present Republic. The sale of the
'baby bonds," he says, is only In
cidental. The $24,000,000 Issue, he said, was au
thorized by Yuan Shi Kal recently to
pay interest on the old Imperial debts,
llalf of the loan Is subscribed.
LI Sum-Ling purposes to tour the
United States for several months, ap
pearing before American chambers of
commerce and otherwise trying to pro
mote exports to China, particularly of
machinery and Iron. He said Imports of
these goods from other countries had
been curtailed by the war.

RAILROADS ARE WARNED
H1GBKR RATES DECLARED TO BE
MENACE TO DEVELOPMENT.
Trian Fruit and Vegetable Shippers
Represented in Protest A grain it
Proposed Increases.
CHICAGO. April 22. Fruits and
vegetables raised in Texas now pay
their full proportion of transportation
charges, according to growers and deal,
era from that section, and the pro
posed advance in freight rates on these
commodities, in the opinion of the same
persons, would retard the development
of the agricultural regions there and
diminish the volume of freight for the
carriers. These contentions were ad
vanced today by several witnesses. In
cluding William M. Daniels, interstate
commerce commissioner, in the hearing
of the Western rate case.
James A. O'Brien, of Brownsville,
Texas, manager of the Rio Grande Rail
way, an electric line in the Rio Grande
Valley, repeatedly declared that the in
stallation of the advanced freight rates
on, cabbages, onions and other farm
products would retard the development
of the farm lands in the Rio Grande
Valley. His last words before leaving
the witness-stand were:
"I have no complaint with the rail
road service, except that the railroads
are making a mistake in raising the
rates from the Rio Grande Valley.
Those people need encouragement. They
went out there and settled on small
farms, led by the expectation that they
could improve their condition. They
are mostly poor, with their all Invested
in their farms. They have furnished
and are furnishing a magnificent ton
nage to the railroads and their needs
should be considered."

Doesn't Know How to Get Pay.
BAKER, Or., April 22 (Special.)
W. H. Ellis, custodian of some $1000
worth of Copperfield booze, is at' a loss
to find some one to pay the storage
charges on the liquor. The state through
Governor Withycombe acknowledges
no Indebtedness for his storing the wet
goods seized in the Copperfield raid over
a year ago. and so far the owner of the
property, William Wiegand, has made
no offer to reimburse him. Mr. Ellis
says that he himself has no use for the
liquor.
"I believe that eventually Mr. Wie
gand will pay me the money due," said
Mr. Ellis today, "but if he doesn't I
can't say just how I will get it. The
goods surely should be worth more
than the storage charges."

CITY OF EXPOSITION
REMEMBERS FIRE
'Nine Years After' Celebration,
With Its Relics, Recalls
Days of Terror.
OREGON DELEGATION GUEST
"Key Trolley" Trip to Berkeley In
eludes Visit to Greek Theater,
Tramp Through. College Cam
pus, Stop at LeContc Oak.
BY ANN'S SHANNON MONROE.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 22. (Spe
cial.) The "nine years after" celebra
tion of San Francisco, commemorating
her recovery from the great disaster
of 1906, lasting two days, had so many
special phases and features that no one
person possibly could take them all in,
particularly as the Press Club cele
brated all night long with a pageant
and "high jinks."
The great parade of Saturday was a
wonderful demonstration, the exhibi
tion of relics and ruins from the great
fire bringing many people to tears -as
they recalled the vividness, terror and
courage of those desperate days. Spe
cial ceremonies, speeches, music and
fireworks brought an unusual number
of visitors to the grounds.
The Oregon delegation celebrated by
accepting the invitation of the "Key
Trolley" people to be their guests on a
steamers-trolley-automobile trip to
Berkeley and Oakland. All officialdom
of the exposition was invited and about
330 representatives from every state
and nation assembled on the boat for
the all-day fete. Mr. and Mrs. O. M.
Clark, Miss Withycombe and Mrs.
Thomas G. Hailey being among those
who represented Oregon.
Day la Eventful One.
A delightful water trip to Berkeley,
a visit to the Greek Theater where the
Hawaiian band from the exposition fur
nished music, showing the wonderful
acoustic properties of this most beauti
ful little gem of a theater, a tramp
through the college campus and a visit
to the famous Le Conte oak and many
other splendid old oaks not so famously
named then a ride through the streets
of Oakland where the new Technical
School and the City Hall were admired
particularly, and a most wonderful
luncheon served at the Hotel Oakland,
a handsome structure exquisitely fur
nished with brilliant speeches breath
ing that fine cordiality and hospitality
that seems to bloom in California with
the luxuriance of their golden poppies,
filled a day to overflowing with de
lightful events and memories.
The luncheon was tendered to the
guests by the Oakland Commercial Club
and Chamber of Commerce, which re
cently have merged. The rooms are
most beautiful In a dull oak finish, with
blue furnishings. While admiring the
special features and pictures it was a
pleasure to come across a handsome
large photograph conspicuously hung
of Portland's Sacajawea monument and
one of the order of Royal Oaks taken
while on a visit to Portland, and show
ing a good view of Morrison street.
Oakland, already noted for her hospi
tality, certainly added a feather to her
cap in the day's entertaining. In ad
dition to the elegant luncheon served,
beautiful boxes of "Pig 'n Whistle"
candies were presented to every woman
present, thus establishing a precedent
of which the women highly approve.
Many Oregronlans on Visit.
Andrew Kerr arrived Sunday night at
the Inside Inn from Portland for sev
eral days at the big fair. Represen
tative Sinnott and Senator Lane also are
seeing the exposition and passing con
siderable time at the Oregon building.
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Roger Blake, of
Portland, lunched at the Oregon
building, and expressed the ut
most enthusiasm over the typi
cal representation of Oregon re
sources. Rev. William Wallace Young
son, with his wife. who is a
native Oregonian, passed much time in
the building and was pleased with
everything, but particularly so with
the art room, where Oregon's culture
blossoms forth. Dr. Youngson is pas
tor of the Rose City Park Methodist
Church. C. R. Cranston, of Pendleton,
representing Umatilla County, arrived
today to take the place of Mr. Meacham,
of Baker City, In the Eastern Oregon
section of the Oregon building. Mr.
Meacham left for San Diego and after
wards he will return home. F. R. Mel
lis, of Baker, and Professor H. M.
Parkes,' of the Oregon Bureau of Mines,
are here to install the exhibit in the
mines building. Mr. Mellis will remain
in charge.
Oreicon Displays Met Everywhere.
In every building one eventually runs
on id an ureson product or display. In
the food products I noticed a handsome
painting In relief of the Albers mills,
with the notation, "Portland, Oregon;
one of the largest mills in the world."
In the horticultural building' I asked
the guide what was the most curious
thing in plant life he had to offer, and
he aald since the orchids had censed

most attention. He showed It to me, a

indigestion, diarrhoea, give
a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Figs," and in a few hours all the 'foul

food passes out of the bowels and you
have a well and playful child a .i
Children love this harmless "fruit
laxative," and mothers can rest easy
after giving it, because It never fails
to make their little "lnsides" clean
and sweet.
- Keep It handy. Mother! A little
given today saves a sick child tomor

druggist for a 60-cent bottle of "Cali

directions for babies, children of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly on the
bottle. Remember there are counter
