Abolition (.f spheres of influence In t'hlna was recom mended In a resolution adopted at a recent meeting here of the Associa tion of British Chambers of Com merce in China and Hongkong. This association includes representatives of most important Hiitish commercial interests in the Far Fast. Its action is regarded here as significant because ii has long been claimed that Greut iiritain has been able to obtain a dominant position in trade in China chiefly by reason of the vast extent of Hiitish spheres of inl'luenre. which is said to over shadow those of all other countries. The conference r-eso!ved that the time had come to reaffirm the aboli tion of the "open door as an essen tial commercial principle and that abolition of spheres of influence, should be accomplished by interna tional agreement. The Uritish government was asked by the association to remit a portion cf the lloxer Indemnity and devote it to the education of Chinese along British lines. The association expressed its sym pathy with the desire of the Chinese to nholish the plan of extra-territor-lality. Hut declared a stable govern ment should first be established, a satisfactory code of laws enacted and that the Chinese judicial system should be reformed. It asked also that the Hritish gov ernment should put into immediate effect tho measures adopted by the International Opium invention in lit 12 restricting traffic with Chinese in narcotic drugs. It demanded ihat piracy on Chinese rivers should be suppressed. Cut This Out It. Is Worth Money DON'T MISS THIS.

The man uf act are and sale of moonshine whi.-kev in the mountains of southern W:jt Virginia is claiming the close attention of W. S. HuHanan. prohibi tion . commissioner, who with a large force of deputies continues to raid and arrest almost weekly. There have been times in the last few weeks when the officers have met determined resistance, and al- f ready two men, I'reston Mullens, an I alleged moonshiner, and John D. I Kennedy, a deputy sheriff, bave lost j their lives in the campaign. 1 This fight, the most serious in re cent years, occurred in the Panther I Creek section of McDowell county, on (the Virginia border. Panther creek, the p rob i bit ion aut horities say, is one of the most active mooushining jdtstricts in the stale. There, accord ing to Mr. Ilallanan, have been gath ered some iif the most famous manu facturers of moonshine from llachan an county, Virginia. They know all Ihat Is to be known about the indus try, and some of them are tamed for tho ijualitles of their "corn liquor." Usually their stills are extremely dif ficult to locale, but gradually the prohibition officers are hunting them out and destroying them. There is another kind of moonshin er in that section who is giving the officers much trouble. He makes his moonshine as ipiirkly as possible, markets it with I he least delay, and then moves bis still to some other place. The count ry is mountainous and rough with many fertile valleys. These valleys, 'the commissioner has discovered, were this year used to a large extent for the growing of sugar cane, the high price of sugar having driven some of the old time moon shiners to producing what they need ed for domestic and moonshine pur poses.
