WEST VIRGINIA'S WARRING PARTIES COME TO TERMS (Continued from Paee One.) To cut It of f, or r.ot to cut it off Is the prevailing question in local Chinatown. 'The queue is the subject under con sideration, and the accompanying char acters are posted on the bill boards an nouncing what a former Chinese min ister to the United States la going to do In the matter. Wu Ting Fang is the minister, and while he is no longer in the United States, he Is held in such high regard that hundreds of Chinese propose to cut off their queues the same day he doe.-i. Thiernotlce freely translated says that on the 16th day of the first month of the third year of the reign of Suen Hung, the present Chinese emperor, is the date set for Chlnene to clip their queu.es and wear their hair American style. February 14 is Sate, This leaves the Chinaman tree to wear a pompadour, part hlshalr on the side, in the center, or have it clipped short The date mentioned in the notice cor responds in the Gregorian calendar to February 14, and upon that day it is expected that Portland Chinese will Join they many brethren In various parts of the world, and dispense with, the pig tail. . In many cities throughout the United States, the Chinese haVe held meetings and agreed "to" cut off their queues on this day. In Portland, no meeting has been held, and no definite date set for removing the twist of balr. How ever, the subject has been uppermost In Chinatown, and many are cutting their queues. As the Chinese new year begins today, manyare taking advantage of a specific dato and are having their hair cut. Moy Back HIn, Chinese consul, has received no direct order from the em pire on the subject, but has been ad vised that high officials in state are removing their queues since the em peror issued a decree several months ago to this effeqt, and this advice has been Imparted to the members, of China town. "Moy has cut his queue and many of his countrymen did the same on the day he adopted the American style of hair dress. Hot Fart of Xellglon. Chung Chungfecognlsed mayor of Portland's Chinatown, still wears his queue. He says it Is quite a bether to keep it clean, and attend to It every, day. At times he has stated that he would clip It off, and again he has declared that he would wear It forever. Scarce ly a young man can be found that wears a queue, and It Is predicted that within two years there will not be a local Chinaman wearing one. Many people have the Impression that the queue Is part, of the Chinaman's religion, but this is false. It is a cus tom or style that has been in of feet about 250 years. At one time, the Chi nese did not wear it. Dealers in hair goods make the rounds of the Chinese barber shops each day, asking if any one has Cut off his queue, The dealers buy them and make then into switches, and other' arrangements for woman's wear.

"To my mind, however, both coun tries are to be congratulated, becaase this bill la the entering wedge to a much wider degree of reciprocity than the pending program contemplates. "We must come to absolute free trade between these two countries.' We should have nothing to fear and everything to gain. Yes, I go further than that; I say that we have got to have free trade on all the North American continent.

Governor Glasscock Is withholding the credentials from j eign postmark she disappeared with rum. the lawyers and by the family over va rious features of the affair. Inquiry Leads to Clandestine Suitor. That Arnold went abroad to get some trace of the missing girl through a supposed suitor, George Grlscom, was understood at police headquarters to be an established fact but neither Arnold nor Attorney Kleth would admit it. ' Mr. Armstrong, partner of Mr. Kleth, however, stated that ,a representative of the firm did call upon Lloyd C. Grls com, who is a third cousin of George Grlscom, 'shortly after the girl's disap pearance from home to ask if he knew where George Grlscom. could be found. Goorge Grlscom, Jr., has his home in Pittsburg, where his parents live.. He is 40 and a bachelor, and is' Bald to have carried on n clundostlne courtship with Miss Arnold. Grlscom left the country last December. Miss Arnold departed from home December 12. The lawyers for the Arnold family have been work ing, according to reliable Information, to learn whether Miss Arnold left the country with Grlscom. If anything has been learned by them leading to the discovery of an elopement of Miss Ar nold with Orlscom, they hnve made a profound secret of It. The Philadelphia police were tonight requested to investigate h report that Miss Arnold had been seen in a house In Vernon street, in that city, Wednes day and Thursday. The Mall Clerk'a Story. The story of a clerk at the general postofflee in New York city was also ordered investigated. This clerk states that Miss Arnold was at the postofflee at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the day she disappeared, December 12, last There was a man waiting for her, and after receiving a letter bearing a for- establlsh local 'commissions. It appeals to the se.ntlment of countrv members who favot a state wide law. and at the same time are inclined to allow Portland to fight her own way If the way exists. The mixed situation will call for much explanation and .he lawyer members will have the most to say. Those who are not lawyers are looking for light as to which Idea really affords the most effective regulation. Game Men Wext Tuesday Wight The game meeting will bring together those who want to give advice, in. detail about ducks, deer, salmon and various other specimens that fly, run or swim. As the game laws stand they are much Jumbled, with numerous laws affecting certain counties. A bill has been in troduced for the formation of a game commission, witn tne idea that such a commission can formulate rules and ex ercise supervision that would be for the Interest of the state. Chairman Wood of the senate committee, and Chairman Church of the house commit tee, have decided the best way will be to hear all suggestions at once, hence the Joint meeting, to which all Interest ed In the game laws are Invited. It will be held at 7:3 o'cldck Tuesday night at the state house. BRITISH EXPERTS TAKE ALL FOR GRANTED AND OFFER FELICITATIONS (rnbllxhon' Press Lre! Wlrp.l London. Jan. 28.

It Is reported, however, that the ways and means, committee will probably report on the agreement In about .two weeks. That would leave a bare two weeks more for the house and senate both to act on It before the expiration of the session, March 4.
