CHINESE BUSINESS MEN
ARE PLEASED WITH NEW
U. S. TRADE ACT PASSED
Shanghai, Not. 28.—News of the
passage of the so-called China trade
bill by Congress Is enthusiastically
received in China by American bus
iness men; large Arms and chambers
of commerce for it means the begln
ninp of a new era in commercial re
lations between thb United States
and China.
Cablegrams of appreciation for
the work of certain congressmen in
pushing the bill have been sent by
the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce
to Washington and resolutions ex
pressing the gratitude of the local
business meu passed.
The Hon. Claudius H.Huston, as
sistant secretary of commerce of the
United States, on his world tour of
inspection, was received warmly up
on his arrival in Shanghai by Ameri
can business men, who feel that Sec
retary Huston wields much influence
in extending the commercial Inter
ests of the United States overseus.
Makes Business Easier.
Regarding the China Trade bill
. secretary Huston said:
| "The passage of this measure by
i congress will make it far easier for
' American concerns and Chinese
American companies incorporated
i under American law to do business
i in China. They will be able to oper
' ate under the federal charter.
"Previously much confusion existed
due to the attempt to apply in Chins
the conflicting regulations of our
various states, territories and de
pendencies. Many United States
companies were organized under
state charters which were never In
tended for foreign trade purposes.
"Under the China Trade hill the
I charters will be Issued by the de
partment of commerce subject to
regulations promulgated by the de
i partment, with guarantees which will
insure the conducting of legitimate
business in accordance with the laws
of the United States and the treat'es
between China and America.
i'The effect of the restrictions or
the bill will be that a higher stand
, ard will be maintained, which will
reflect credit on the companies as
well as the United States and will
increase the prestige of the United
States traders.

"The bill alPo gives lmpoti'S and
stability to the United States busi
ness In China and between China and
the United States, tmina's foroijpi
trade during the last few years has
averaged one billion a year. Up to
i860, when we had a merchant ma
rine, our business with China am
ounted to 50 per cent of this nation's
trade. After the Civil war and un
til the outbreak of the Europ»an
war we had no merchant marine *o,
consequently, lost a largo per.-entOjje
of trade.
"Now we are prepared to do our
own hauling, and, with the China
Trade act to stimulate the organi
zation of the United States compa
nies in China, there is no reason why
within the next few decades we
, should not develop our commerce
with China. The Un'ted States, will.
I believe, share in a large way In the
Increase of trade which will follow
In the wake of China's industrial and
commercial developments.
"China's trade potentialities are
tremen.lous. With a territory one
sixth larger than the United States,
undeveloped from an industrial
standpoint, and a population four
times as great as that of the United
States .her possibilities are unlimited, j
"Up to the present China has little
in the way of machinery. She has
only 6,500 miles of railway, as com
pared with 260,000 miles in the
United States. She has a total of
soma 10,000 automobiles and auto
mobile trucks in her nation, while
the I'nlted States has passed tbe 10,
000,000 mark.
"China Is beginning to build roads.
These roads will reorganize trans- j
portation, and in a few years we
will be a motorized China—for the

DRY LAWS ARE
BASEBALL HELF
Chicago, Nov. 27.—Thomas J
Hlckey, president of the Americar
Association, In discussing the In
creased attendance at games in hif
circuit during the last season de
clared that the Increase was due
to the dry law. According to Mr.
Hickey the season Just closed was
a record breaker in the point of at
tendance, and, in explaining the in
crease the baseball magnate said:
"Prohibition has been the grentesi
blessing baseball ever enjoyed. The
passing of the saloons Increased out
patronage wonderfully. Regardless
of the moral espect of the IStb
amendment, it was a great business
booster for us."
Mr. Hlckey explained that in the
old days men used to drop Into tbc
corner saloon for a drink on the way
to the ball park. Other prospective
fans would drop in for the same rea
son. Time would pass, as time would
in a saloon, and a bit later the East
ern scores would begin to come In
on the ticker and the prospective
fans would stay in the saloon, getting
the scores off the ticker.
On the other hand, Mr. Hlckey does
not believe that golf cut down base
ball attendance to any considerable
degree. "It costs money and takes a
great deal of time to play golf," he
says. "The lads from 18 to 25 form
the bulk of the baseball patronage,
and. as a general rule, they do not
play golf much."

MAN STARVES TO DEATH
Dayton, Ohio, Nov. 26.—Coron
er E. E. Kimmel, investigating the
death of William Moser, 45 years
old, whose body was found In a
lodging house today, is of the opin
ion that the man died of starvation.
Moser had been dead a long time
before h.s body was found, and the
Coroner said an examination proved
that malnutrition was the cause.
Currency amounting to more than
flOO was found in Moser'g pockets,
and other greenbacks, aggregating
$400, had been hidden in small
packages in various places In the
room.
Authorities have been unable to
learn much regarding Moser. He was
regarded a3 an eccentric indi
vidual, lived alone and seldom was
seen in any one's company. Although
he resided at the Jackson Street ad
dress for two years, residents of the
neighborhood knew nothing of him.
The Coroner said indications were
that Moser had failed to supply
himself with necessities of life and
that he starved to death slowly.

PRESERVING EARLY HISTORY
Those, who were residents of Skag
way from 1897 to 1900 will undoubt
edly remember Attorney Church, and
, the following Interesting letter will
' remind them of the "Sourdough
Days."
' Dear "OLD SOUR DOUGH:"
During a recent hunting trip amid
the wilds of wonderful British Col
' umbia, I stopped at Vancouver, -and
Victoria—then at Seattle and San
Francisco.
Meeting numerous old Sour Dough
friends, we decided that it would be
worth while to lfave the real story
of early Skagway and Nome days
written by co-operation of many who
were there and personally know
about essential interesting incidents,
of which each might misquote Cae
sar's Commentaries, and say, "Part
of Which I Saw—Much of which I
was."
As one of you, who wrote much
for publication in the newspapers at
both Skagway and Nome, and who
happens to be retired from active
business, and still delights in his
own pen, it was suggested that I be
selected to obtain and put into nar
rative form as much of such HIS
TORY (not merely "agreed fiction")
as could be obtained.
The general plan is this. I will
send copies of this letter to as many
of the old Sour Doughs as I can lo
cate with your help. Then If each
will write me a few or many remem
bered facts, and forward this letter
to gome Old Timer, we can doubtless
get up a record of things that ought
not to be forgotten.
I am to publish the book at my
own expense, and no one else will be
under any obligation whatever.
Wishing you many more years In
which to remember the good old
times at Skagway, Nome, and "round
about," may I be remembered, also
at Skagway in connection with The
Union Church, the Literary Socletty,
The Public Schools, The Hospital,
((which we afterwards named "The
Bishop Rowe Hospital," and donated
to the Episcopal Church), The White
Pass Railroad and the Canadian
Bank of Commerce, (of which two
corporations I was local counsel),
and the first College of Alaska, whose
opening session I had the pleasure
of attending, September 19th, 13i9,
the day I started for Nome. It was
my good fortune, also, to help or
ganize The Arctic Brotherhood, and
the B. P. O. Elks at Skagway.
At Nome, I was attorney for The
First Bank, etc., and I organized the
first school, was a trustee of "The
Raymond Robblns Church," a mem
ber of the Masonic Club,- the Arctic
Brotherhood, etc., etc.
As I have a poor memory for
names, I would appreciate whatever
names you will give me connected
with any incidents to which you will
refer. 1 would particularly like to
have names of any officials at either
Skagway or Nome, 1897-1900 and
j their present address, if you know
lU
1 Appreciating whatever courtesy
you may extend to me in the prem
ises, with only pleasant memories of
both Skagway and Nome, I am,
Sincerely.
Your "Sour Dough" friend.

came so near hitting the essentials
