WORST OF FAMINE
COMING
CHINA
Starvation Drives Wretched
People to Dig Up and
Eat Dead.
RED CROSS CALLS FOR AID
Millions Now Depend on Food From
American Missions and Red
Cross Priod of the Great
e.t Pinch Xow Arises.
WASHINGTON. April . To correct
n erroneous report that has found
general circulation with harmful re
sults, the Red Cross today Issued the
following statement In regard to the
Chinese famine:
"The famine In China Is unprecedent
ed in severity, and the period of great
est agony Is yet to some. Many weeks
must pass before there will bo relief
from new crops, and millions today are
kept alive only through the contribu
tions to the American Mission and Red
Cross Society from the American peo
ple who sent their donations to Wash
ington. These two great organizations
are working together for the common
cause and have furnished over two
' thirds of all relief supplies sent to
China.
"The following cablegram, received
by the editor of the Christian Herald
from the editor of the North China
News, terrible as it may seem, speaks
only the truth:
" 'Shanghai, April 6. Klopsch, New
York. Approaching period of severest
' pinch. Authentic Instances of corpses
exhumed, cannibalism. Foreign relief
working effectively, maintaining whole
districts until harvest.'
"When a people have been reduced
to such straits that they will dig up
and eat their own dead, the severity
slid wide extent of the famine can be
realized."
FACTIONAL ROW OVERJOYS
(Continued from Flrat Paff.l
targe a gang of "dope fiends," "floaters,"
professional criminals and other disrep
utables as they could collect on short
notice. There is IB the tenderloin of
eyery large city a numerous population of
1 cckles castaways who are ready to per
form any hazardous election fraud for a
Hmoll price; and in San Francisco Coff
roth and Graney are acquainted with
every man of this class. Hearst's cohorts
were marshaled In- the Belvedere .and
kept there all night without, liquor, in
order to insure their sobriety in the
morning.
Voted Sturfers at $1.50 Each.
Graney and Coffroth went over the reg
ister of voters and selected for each of
the Bluffers the particular elector whom
ho was to impersonate. An endeavor was
made to have the stuffer correspond loose
ly with the printed description of the
elector, but on tills point no great care
was taken. Bach stufter was given a card
bearing the name of the voter whom he
was to impersonate, and a statement of
the age. occupation and other data con
tained In the register of voters. For the
payment of the stutters Barrett guve
(Jraney and Coffroth $600. the money be
ing bien taken from Hearst's account.
"When the stutters had been sobered,
instructed and supplied with Identifi
cation cards, they were divided into
two squad-, one to follow Graney and
the other to follow Coffroth. At 6
o'clock on the morning of election day,
tlio two squads marched out of the
Belvedere and proceeded to the polling-places
In the Thirty-eighth and
Forty-third districts. They formed in
line and at e o'clock, when the polls
opened, they proceeded to vjjte under
the names of the qualified electors. No
questions were asked by the discreet
election officers.
Uurrett Refused to Deny.
"After each stuffer had voted, tha
went to Graney or to Coffroth and re
ceived his wages the sum of 11.60.
and all the money came out of the
fund of $600 of Hearst's money, which
Barrett had given for that purpose."
VImo asked for a statement, John
P. Barrett said:
"This. Is a matter for Mr. Hearst to
deal wit:.. - ' I am merely one of his
employes, j 1 ao not care either to
deny or affirm the statements of Gra
ney or Mr. Older. As far as Graney
is concerned, I can prove that he has
been in a hundred questionable deals."
HILBKltT'S FLIGHT PREVENTED
SchtititA't Partner Must Tell Aout
Graft In Tenderloin.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. (Special.)
Warned by Schmitz and Ruef to fly the
country, Fred Hllbert was on the point
of leaving this city yesterday on his way
to Seattle and Manila, when he was
served with a subpena to appear before
the grand Jury. Had not William J.
Burns kept Hllbert under constant sur
veillance, he would now be on his way
to foreign parts, but Just as soon as Mr.
Burns ascertained Hubert's Intention of
Hying on- the advlce'v. of -the Mayor and
the ''boss." he restrained him with the
process, which will keep liim in town dur
ing the pleasure of the grand Jury.
Hllbert made a scene when he was
served with the subpena. When Mr.
Burns' representative accosted him, his
emotion was unmistakable. He turned
red. then his color went to white and
finally he fell in a tit, which was ao
carefnlly acted that it almost seemed
real. Hilhert was summoned before the
inquisitorial body today, but was ex
cused until Monday.
He will' bo examined with regard
to a series of transactions implicating
the Mayor and Ruef, which will lead
to further indictments for the two.
Hllbert was a member of the defunct
Hllbert Mercantile Company, a corpor
ation which sold liquors in wholesale
quantities. It. was by the co-operation
of this corporation that Mayor Schmlts
grew fat in the tenderloin trade.
Schmitz' Indulged in a series of graft
ing transactions so low and so squalid
that .only; the pen of Zola could do
Justice td them. "There was nothing
bis; about the stealings of the Mayor.
The money he took was all the slimy
small change of petty sources of cor
ruption, Schmitz reserving the mighty
things for division with other part
ners. The mulcting of the lowest and
most desperate of fallen women, hold
ing up obscene dens of vice, the black
mailing of the worst kinds of dives,
were among the means by which
Schmitz raised money.
In addition to these sordid sources of
corruption money, the Mayor earned a
pretty penny by forcing these liquors
on saloonkeepers and proprietors of
vicious resorts who would have pre
ferred to buy other goods if they dared
to refuse their patronage to their pro
tectors. Facts bearing on all these matters
are In the possession of the grand jury
and will be made the basis of indictments.
AI.I. GAVE TO RECEPTION FUND
Grand Jury Learns City Employes
Were Forced to Contribute.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. Contribu
tions to the municipal campaign funds of
1905 were investigated by the grand Jury
today. Among the witnesses called were
James V. Kelly, of Los Angeles, Chief
Deputy Tax Collector George Berger, Sec
retary Louis Levy, of the Board of Pub
lic Works; Supervisor John J. Furey, State
Senator Frank Markey and Fairfax H.
Whelan.
Louis Levy was questioned at length
to determine the source of the fund used
to defray the expenses of the public recep
tion given to Mayor Schmitz in December,
1906, upon his return from Europe. Levy
testified that WE00 was raised for that pur
pose among municipal employes, "each
one contributing about $25." 'He said the
money was collected by George Berger,
John McUlynn and Supervisor Furey, un
der the direction of the Metropolitan
League, a Schmitz political organization:
that it was turned over to himself, and
that he In turn gave it to President Duf
fey. of the Board of Public Works; that
Duffey disbursed the money, and that the
accounts were audited by a committee
composed of Berger, Supervisors Furey,
Duffey, Rea and Coleman, and T. F.
Woodward and Max Fennam,
"Ts It not a fact," asked Assltant Dis
trict Attorney Heney, "that these municl-'
pal employes you epoke of contributed to
the fund because they feared that, if they
refused, they would lose their lobs?"
"Well," replied Levy, "they were all hu
man, you know."
"Did either Sheriff O'Neil or Coroner
Walsh contribute to the fund?" was an
other question.
"They may have," replied the witness.
"I do not know."
Before he entered the Jury-room Mr.
Whelan Issued to the press a long type
written statement denying that the San
Francisco Republican League, of which he
was chairman, accepted any sum of
money from individuals or corporations in
the 1906 campaign with the understanding
that by such acceptance the league was
bound as to its policy or obligated to sup
port the candidacy of any person either
before or after the election.
BUSSE TAKES TrfE OATH
Peculiar Situation in Chicago Is
Caused by Mayor-Elect's Action.
CHICAGO. April 6. Frederick A.
Busse took the oath today of Mayor
of Chicago. He will be Inaugurated
April 9. This unexpected step on the
part of Mr. Busse leaves in existence
two Mayors Mr. Dunne, who remains
in charge until his successor takes
over the office, and Mr. Busse, who has
been sworn in, but has not assumed
office.
This situation was the' cause f much'
discussion tonight, but the opinion
generally expressed was that compli
cations, while possible, were, hardly
probable. Democratic city officials de
clare that Mr. Busso could not qualify
until the Corporation Counsel and the
City Council approve his bond, but Mr.
Busse's attorneys insist that that for
mality is not necessary, should Mr.
Busse find it advisable to assume
charge of the Mayor's office before
April 9. This is the date on which
the city Council meets to approve the
bond of the new Mayor, and always
In the past the Mayor-elect has been
sworn In on that night.
Mayor Busse, In explaining the date
on which he is to assume office, said:
"I had no desire for haste. I aoted
merely on advice for the protection of
my interests and those of the city. I
had not intended to assume office un
til April 15. If my own wishes were
consulted. I would wait until then, but
things have shaped themselves so that
I probably shall take hold Tuesday,
April 9, at the latest. I don't under
stand that it is necessary for the
Council to approve my bond before I
assume office. I have- not requested
a special meeting of the City Council
for Monday night for the purpose of
approving my bond, and one is not con
templated." Mayor Edward F. Dunne announced
that he would offer no resistance to
Mayor Busse's assumption of office
Tuesday. He said:
"If, when I return from Pittsburg
Tuesday, Mr. Busse is acting as May
or, I shall consider my duties terminat
ed." Mayor Dunne will leave for Pitts
burg tomorrow . night to attend the
funeral of a friend.
Late tonight Mayor Busse announced
the following appotntm'ets: ' City
Comptroller. Walter H. Wilson; Com
missioner of publicWorkaj John Hatuv
berg; Corporation . Counsel, Edward X
Brundaae: Chief of.-Police. George M.
Shippy; Ffre Marshal. James Morsri;
Traction Counsel. Walter L. Fisher;
Commissioner of Health. Dr. W. A.
Evans; private secretary, R. J. Mul
laney. Official Plurality for Busse.
CHICAGO. April 6. The Board of Eleo
tion Commissioners today announced that
the official plurality of Frederick A. Busse,
who was elected Mayor last Tuesday, is
12.933.
Time to Call Halt, Says Belmont.
NEW YORK, April 6. August Bel
mont, who presided at last night's
meeting of the representatives of capi
tal and labor In the mansion of An
drew Carnegie, spoke of a possible
change in the times, and warned em
ployer and employe to prepare for a
reaction from our great prosperity. Mr.
Bvlmont said:
''There is no time more important
than this for a gathering of this na
ture. It Is very easy to remain at
peace during prosperity, but sometimes
times change, and I feel greatly im
pressed that the unparalleled develop
ment of our country and its prosperity
have been so extraordinary that It Is
undoubtedly time to strike a halt, and
it is not wholly undesirable.
"I do not desire to be either a proph
et or an alarmist, nor will I discuss
the causes which appear to lead to the
beginning of It. but it is unquestioned
that we should prepare ourselves
threiugh Just such gatherings as this to
understand and rolve the problems
witn which we are at any time likely
to be confronted."

TIME TO MEDIATE
United States and Mexico
Move to End War.
MAY ISOLATE NICARAGUA
Conference Results in Plan for Set
tling All Future Disputes If
Nicaragua Holds Out, All
May TJnite Against Her.
WASHINGTON, April 6. Secretary
Root and Mexican Ambassador Creel
today decided that the time was ripe
for concerted action to terminate hos
tilities in Central America, if the re
sult could be accomplished by moral
suasion and earnest representations,
beyond which point neither the United
States nor Mexico is willing to go.
A series of conferences was held to
day at the State Department between
the interested parties. A notable fact
was the absence of the Nicaraguan
Minister, Senor Corea. It was sug
gested that the purpose of the confer
ence was to frame an agreement for
the future settlement of all disputes
between Central American countries
and to submit this to Nicaragua and
request her adhesion, falling which
that country would find itself standing
alone among the Centra) American
states and without their sympathy.
It Is believed that a few days will
bring about important developments,
and that either peace will be declared
Tr a general war will follow between
Nicaragua on one side and tha remain
ing four states on the other.
The appearance in Washington of a
minister from Salvador with large
powers, believed first to be authorized
to speak for Honduras, seemed to af
ford the opportunity for diplomatic
action here. Therefore the conferences
were begun at the State Department
between these interested parties,
which, it is stated by the participants,
probably will lead to a peaceful settle
ment of the troubles and, moreover,
one that will endure longer than the
few months that frequently mark the
life of these Central American com
pacts. The basis for the agreement Is yet
to be defined in Its details. Indeed, it
was stated that beyond the agreement
among the parties to the conference
that the time had now come for action
by them, the plan had not been per
fected. RAISES EMBARGO ON TRADE
Marietta Stops Nicaraguan Interfer
ence With American Ships.
"WASHINGTON, April 6. Details of
American naval activity on the coast
of Honduras during the present war
are contained in the following extracts
from the report of Commander Fulham,
JuBt received by mail:
"The commanding officer of the
United States Steamer Marietta has
reported his arrival at Truxillo. Hon
duras, March 18, 107, when he found
in the harbor four Nicaraguan vessels.
The Nicaraguan troops, commanded by
General Estrada, were in possession of
the town, which they had captured
on the 12th.
"A schooner flying the American
flag, having been refused permission to
take on board provisions and fruit, and
the fruit steamer Suldal, chartered by
an American firm, having been refused
authority to land cargo and clear with
bananas for Mobile, the commanding
officer of the Marietta, after confer
ence with the general commanding the
Nicaraguan forces, obtained the remov
al of all restrictions upon the vessels
and they were allowed to sail; also,
that American vessels would not be In
terfered with by the belligerents and
would be allowed to carry on their
usual business. With the consent of
the Nicaraguan (Jmeral the Marietta
landed 10 bluejaiKets under the com
mand of Ensign Borschach as a guard
for the American consulate.
"The American consular agent at
Truxillo has given protection to the
women and children of all nationalities
Inside the enclosure of the consulate.
Several representatives of other na
tions have done the same. Quiet and
good order prevail in the town."
TIRED OF FREQUENT WARS
Salvadorean Minister Predicts Union
of Central America.
WASHINGTON, April 6. The war be
tween Honduras and Nicaragua, accord
ing to Frederico Mejia, the new Salva
dorean Minister to the United States, will
likely be settled without embroiling other
Central American Republics. Senor Me
jia said;
"The conservative people of Central
America are tired of these wars, which
have continued for half a century. They
realize that if all the money that has
been spent for slaughter and the satisfac
tion of the selfish ambitions of some
individuals during that time had been
turned to the building of good roads,
schools and other instrumentalities of civ
ilization. Central America would probably
comprise one united, prosperous and hap
py nation today.
"Those means of communication that
have been established already have
brought the peoples of the country Into
closer relations, but the time 'has not yet
come when it would be possible to amal
gamate them Into one confederacy, either
by force or convention. The nation would
again break up as a result of the insuf
ficient means of putting down numerous
insurrections. But within ten years the
time may come when such a plan would
be entirely feasible."

GARIBALDI HOPED TO AID
Prepared Expedition to Fight In the
Civil War.
ROME April 6. Colonel Fazxari. a
veteran who fought with Garibaldi,
has received a letter from a Mr. N.
Gay. of Boston, asking about the re
lations between Italy and America
during the early days of the Kingdom
of Italy. In answer. Colonel Fazsarl
wrote that Garibaldi was urged to as
sume a command In the Northern
Army during the Civil War In the
United States. He thereupon ordered
an expedition and planned to sail away
from Sardinia The vessel intended for
the transportation of the expedition
was, at Garibaldi's orders, encircled
with iron chains In order to protect
her from shot from the Alabama in case
of a meeting. This expedition was to
sail under the Italian flag, but the dec
laration of peace between the North and
the South made it unnecessary to start.
Continuing, Colonel Fazzarl says
Garibaldi was much grieved at the
murder of Lincoln, and that one of
his grandsons, born about that time,
was named after the American Presi
dent.
EDDY TRUSTEES SUED TOO
Next Friends Say Appointment Is
Admission of Insanity.
CONCORD, N. H., April 6. A supple
mental bill In equity called forth by
the recent announcement that the prop
erty of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy had
been transferred to three trustees was
filed In the Merrimac County Court to
day by the original complainants of
"next friends" In the suit tor an ac
counting of Mrs. Eddy's property.
The bill filed today Is the answer of
the complainants to the motion made
by the defendants last Tuesday that
the three trustees, Archibald McLellan,
of Boston; Henry M. Baker, of Boston,
and Joseph H. Fernald, of this city, be
substituted for the "next friends," be
empowered to prosecute the suits
against the defendants in the cases,
who are air prominent members of the
Christian Science Church. The answer,
in the form of a supplemental petition,
asks that the three trustees be added
to the list of defendants on the ground
that the trustees are working for the
same ends as the original defendants;
that Is, that they are unduly Influenc
ing Mrs. Eddy and managing her
property tothelr own purposes.
Judge Robert N. Chamberlain issued
an order that all the . defendants, in
cluding the original defendants and
their trustees, shall enter appearance
In court by April 16 to make answer to
the petition filed today.
The supplemental bill also asks that
the deed of tri?5t be vacated on the
ground that Mrs. Eddy was not com
petent to execute it and that It was a
device contrived by the defendants to
defeat the original suit. The supple
mental bill is as follows:
The petition of Mrs. Mary Glover Eddy,
who sues, by her next friends, George W.
Glover, Mary Baker Glover, George W.
Baker, Fred W. Baker and Ebenezer J.
Foster Eddy, against Calvin Frye, Alfred
Farlow, Brving C. Tomlinson, Ira O.
Knapp, William B. -Johnson. Stephen
Chase, Charles Armstrong, Edward A.
Kimball, Hermann S. Herring, Lewis C.
Strang, Henry M. Baker, Mr. MeLellan
and J. Fernauld.
First. The complainants say that upon
the first day of March, 1907, they filed
their original bill. of complaint against all
the above-named defendants except
Baker, McLellan and Fernald and there
in stated -the grounds of their action and
prayed for appropriate relief, and copies
thereof were duly served upon the de
fendants. Second. The complainants say that after
the filing of said bill the defendants In
duced Mrs. Eddy to transfer all her estate
to Henry M. Baker, Archibald McLellan
and Johiah H. Fernald, and hereon
Baker and McLellan proceeded to take
possession of all the estate.
Third. The complainants charge that
Baker,' McLellan and Fernald are the
agents and attorneys of the defendant in
complainants' original bill and are sub
ject to the control of said original de
fendants; are a part of the combination
to surround and seclude the person of
Mrs. Eddy and in connection with the
other defendants to take charge of her
property and -herself and to manage the
same solely according to their own pleas
ure and that they have completely suc
ceeded In effecting the purpose of their
combination and that there is abundant
reason to believe that they and their as
sociates have wrongfully misappropriated
or unlawfully diverted large sums of
money and large amounts of the property
of Mrs. Eddy.
Fourth. The complainants say that Mrs.
Eddy was not competent to execute said
deed of transfer, by reason of her con
dition as set forth in the original bill In
equity, and that the same is a device of
all the defendants, conceived and carried
out for the purpose of enabling the de
fendants more surely to accomplish the
wrongful purpose of the aforesaid combi
nation and to prevent the appointment of
a receiver and to defeat the regular course
of the original suit.
Therefore the plaintiffs pray that their
supplemental bill be made part of the
original bill, and that the defendants
Baker, McLellan and Fernald be required
to appear and make answer thereto and
also be required to transfer io the re
ceiver, when appointed by the court under
the prayer for relief In the original bill,
all trie property of Mrs. Eddy taken pos
session of or received by them under the
provisions of the deed signed March 6,
for such further relief as the court may
deem requisite and just.
PROVES SHE IS INCOMPETENT
Plaintiffs Say Trust Deed Evidence
Mrs. Eddy Is Insane.
BOSTON, April 6. Frederick "W. Pea
body, of counsel for the complainants in
the suit for an accounting of the prop
erty of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, said
today :
"The status of the three trustees will
not be assumed, but must be proved. They
are not trustees if the Instrument upon
which they rely is invalid, and the In
validity of the instrument can be deter
mined only by a judicial determination
through examination of the person who
made it.
"The attempted creation of the trust is
an admission of the incompetency of Mrs.
Eddy personally to administer her busi
ness and property and such an admis
sion involves the further admission of
incompetency to dispose of It by deed of
trust or otherwise.
"I am confident we shall have no diffi
culty in having the alleged trust instru
ment invalidated because of Mrs. Eddy's
condition of mental unsoundness."

I'm in the Condition solely because I

And instead of going to the Operating
Table and being entirely remade I'm
being "doped" by that old fakir, Dr.

If I had only been made a "Well Suit,"
Some Suits are yon know Some Suits

Name them ?
Sihcerity Suits !
Let me tell you a trade secret.
Sincerity Suits have better Care In their

Take the Cutters and designers of
"Sincerity" Suits they're the most ex

They Cut "Sincerity" Suits properly
hardly any other Suits are Cut anything
like as well.
And then the tailors who put "Sincer

Specialists who understand how easily
Suit can be made or marred in the making.
These expert needle workers sew "shape"
into each "Sincerity" Sui-
Then, after all this Care, "Sincerity"
Suits are rigidly and Carefully inspected
and if a slight alteration is required
sometimes it is the suit is taken apart at
the defect and remade by expert needle
workers in the Busheling department
Each "Sincerity" Suit is therefore a
"Well Suit" with. a permanent Shape
and Style
No need for Old Dr. Goose's "dope"
that old tailoring Quack hasn't a look-in
And, although theyeost more to make,
yet they do not Cost the Wearer a Single
Cent more than the "Sickest" Suit made.

THE MONEY YOU SPEND for clothes is
worth as much as the money you spend for
anything else. If yon don't care what yon
get for yonr clothes money, better not read
this.
THESE ARE PLENTY of money's worth
clothes to be had; hat there are so many
of the other kind that unless you're careful
you'll find yourself in clothes that will be
a disgrace to you after a few weeks' wear.
YOU'D BETTER NOT trust to your own
judgment in this matter; we've seen fabrics
more than half cotton that would deceive
an expert without a chemical test; worth
less than half what you'd pay for them.
GET A POSITIVE ASSURANCE from as
that you can rely on, that the clothes you
buy here are all wool; ask us to guarantee
them; don't buy unless we do
A FINE SPRING WEIGHT BLUE
SERGE SUIT FOR
$25.00
WE GUARANTEE THE FIT, FABRIC
AND FINISH.
WHEREVER YOU SEE A SUIT that has
the label of the Columbia Woolen Mills
Company on it, that's all the guarantee
you need. It means that that suit is all
wool; that it is worth every cent and more
than was paid for it; that it is the correct
style and honest and clean tailoring.
WE DO NOT CATER TO THE man who
is easy to suit, who will be satisfied with
anything that is new. We want the man
who is particular about the way Ms clothes
fit, the kind of goods that they are made
of and the way the suit is made, to come
to our shop. We like to please particular
people. If we do that, we know the other
fellow will have no occasion to kick.
DRESS UP TO DATE and stylishly, and
you will always wear Columbia Woolen
Mills clothes.
