COURT ISSUES NEW RULING ON BOND SIGNERS Tells Turnkey to Refuse to Accept Bond Signed by Professional. Following closely behind the ruling by Judge Delbert O. Wilmeth, that attorneys can not sign bonds at the city prison, came the latest blow to the professional bondsman in the form of a new ruling that prohibits the signing of any bond ty any one who has received or is going to receive anything of value for signing the bond. In handing down this order Judge Wilmeth has taken another step toward stopping the heavy traffic or bondsmen in or near the turnkey's office at the city prison waiting for prisoners to come in so they can go their bonds. The order addressed to the turnkey is as follows: “Up to and Including June 6. 1922, profesional bondsmen will not be accepted by you as surety on bonds for the appearance of defendants in this court. By professional bondsmen is meant any one becoming surety on a bond who has received, does receive or intends to receive money or anything of value either directly or indirectly for aforesaid service.” Anew scale of bond amounts was also attached to the letter. Probably the most notable being the reduction of the vagrancy bond from SSOO to SIOO. PARIS IS NOT THE GAY CITY OF PRE-WAR BT JOHX O-BBIEX. PARIS, May 6.—There wa< a time In the far-away, before-the-war days, when anybody who wanted to see “Paris by Night” could do so within two stps of the Grande’Boulevards. Night life was a normal part of the city’s existence. None of the big caferestaurants thought of closing as long as there was a customer who wanted another drink. Montmartre, now the home of jazzjoy uneonflned, was a remote place where artists and sculptors worked and lived and sang in cabarets which were Just what the word indicate —resorts where drinking and singing went on together. This Is not the Paris of today, or rather of tonight. War restrictions have been abolished end the closing hour has been made later and later, from the 9:30 p. m. of war times to 2 a. in., but the people—the French inhabitants—have lost the old habit of staying up late at night. Besides, most of them live in the suburbs and they have to think twice about the price of a taxicab, as this modern capital does not boast any other method of transportation after midnight. The foreigner therefore is the needed accessory of life in the early hours. And nowadays “foreigner” nine times out of ten means American. “By Special Appointment to H!s Majesty Americus” might be hoisted as a sign outside every night resort in Paris. Formerly it was the Russian, or even the German, who was known in the slang of the night as a “bon mlcheton,” In other words, a “good spender.” The "Gentleman from Indiana” has taken awny the title and is bolding It ag:n<t all comers. This makes it easier for the purveyor of amusement. He knows tbst the visitor from the other snle of the Atlant.c has a very distinct, preconceived idea of what Parisian amusement ought to be. He knows what his customer wants and he gives it to him in large gobs. A LITTLE UIIIBL AFTER DARK. Let us, then, take a lfttle whirl around Paris after nightfall. Our explorers have dined and danced, yes. Canoed, because they have certainly not gone to a French restaurant where people like to make dining and dancing two separate operations. Thus they have probably struck up a passing acquaintance with two or three blond or blondinwi “petite* dames,” whose knowledge of United States Army English is wide If not profound. This restaurant closes at 1 or 2 o’clock and naturally that is Just the hour for beginning. Therefore, the Joyseekers readily fall in with the suggestion of their companions that they Jump into a taxi, or two, and have some more. It matters not to which one of the places in the rue Pigalle, or the rue Fontaine, or the adjoining streets, they are piloted It will be the Monastery, or Nelly's, or '"’barley'*. or the Dog AVho Never Sleeps, or the Smiling Pig. It will be the original of one of the places whose names were introduced to New York by the modern founders of Greenwich Village, but at hstst it will be real, as far as Parisian night life can be real. It will certainly be in Montmarte, because the post-armistice mushroom resorts around the Champs-Elysees or out in Neuilly or Passy went right out of existence when the Stars and Stripes were hauled down for the last time from the roof of the Hotel Crlllon. “Oh, give eom one louts, ’’ warbles one of the blond guides as she flings herself out of the taxi on arrival and one of the explorers hands over twenty francs, saying with an air of great unconcern :j “AYell, after all. it’s only a dollar-sixty at the present rate of exchange." If he had *aken a taxi on his own account for the trip the chauffeur would bar* said “mercl” for five francs. The evening has begun.

INSIDE OF CHINESE WAR TOLD BY WRITER

DSW WMIMN J / J A >

BY C. P. STEAVART. International Correspondent, Formerly Stationed In China. Political trouble, varylugly acute, has prevailed In China uulnterrup;?dly since 1913. Duo rather to the incompetency than to the corruption and mlsgovernment ot the Manchu government, revolution had been simmering for some time, but it received it3 impetus through the ac tivities of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. He acquired republican views in the course of an Occidental education, and returning home went to work to convert his countrymen. The bulk of the population cared little about the matter, but by 1913 there was a small but influential element, including most of the young men who had studied abroad, who agreed with Sun. In addition there was a liberal women's movement beginning to make itself felt. Boidier* of fortune from the Occident, especially so.-mer members of the American forces in the Philippines, looking for good jobs, did their part. Finally, leaders of the bandit some of which

ASKS CHINESE FOR IMPROVED GOVERNMENT Lengthy Message Asks People to Take Control of Parliament. SHANGHAI, China, May 6.—With the students of China declaring that Pekin officialdom does not represent the people of China; with Dr. Sun Yat Pen leading the forces of Canton against the armies jof Pekin, and the bankrupt government, unable to meet its loans, Hsu Shih Chang president, has issued an appeal to the people of China to take control of the government through Parliament and by in expression of public opinion. The appeal has been sent out In a lengthy circular telegram addressed to the military and civil authorities of the various province*. “Then years have elapsed since the establishment of the Chinese Republic, and more than three years since my election to tho Presidency,” says President Hsu. “The events which took place during this period are all of such a difficult and complicated nature that it is painful for one to recount them. “AA'ith age and feebleness falling upon me, what other motive did I really have by shouldering the serious and difficult tasks of state r.t a time of turmoil and disorder than my mere illusion that I might do something for the people and country that has impelled me to do my duty without hesitation? It is, however, contrary to my wish and hope that the years have gone by while I am still unable to achieve my object, and the condition of the country is growing more snd more chaotic and precarious. SUFFERINGS ARE GREAT. “In the last ten years the losses to the country and the sufferings of the people have been exceedingly great and innumerable. For Instance, the repeated fightings which have taken place during recent years have certainly caused tremendous military expenses; the excessive borrowing of foreign loans has proved highly detrimental to the Nation's finance and economy; and the stagnation of commerce and industry and the neglect of education of the epuntry'a youths have simply deprived the country of Its indßstrial and educational development and fruitful results. “During recent years the five southeastern provinces have severed relations with the central government, and observers of China are always in the habit of pointing out the disunion of the coun. try, whereas actual facts, in my opinion, indicate just the otherwise. It is to be observed that communications between the north and the south have not received any hindrance or molestation; the people have traveled to and fro freely; merchandise has been transported hither and thither without ban or embargo, and the systems of law and education have continued to exist side by side without any difference or change. From these facts it is self-evident that the disunion of the country now existing is not the common wish apd desire of the people. Since it is not the idea of the people, it is not a painful thing that they are com pelled to tolerate it under a state of war ? DISSENSION over questions. “Was not the secession of the five southwestern provinces caused, at the beginning, by the question of the Parliament? The serious dissension -over this question caused a considerable gulf In the oulnions of the country. Therefore, lu October of last year 1 issued an order restoring into force the law governing the election of members to Parliament, both promulgated in the first year of the republic, and under their provisions another Parliament was to be convoked. in the hope that the difference of opinion thus caused might be removed and the country be reunited. “Such a step was then considered in some quarters as most extraordinary, but, being desirous of immediate unification of the country, I did not hesitate to take it. I have hoped that after the Parliament comes into session it will be able to represent .he majority opinion of the people in the determination of the nation's policy in the selection of the wise aud the able in public service, and In the framing of the national constitution, to the end that great deeds may be achieved by the country and that govern ment and politics may travel In their proper orbit. “Now, those who advocate the system of federation of provinces have no 1

reach the proportions of small armies, saw an excellent, chance for looot and supported anything of promise along thut line. Northern and southern China, divided roughly by the Yangtse River, always have been, so far as sympathies were concerned, two different countries. Dr. Sun Yat Sen readily won most of the south. The north remained generally monarch Is tic. Dr. Sun set up a tentative southern republic, with himself as provisional president, aud his headquarters at Nanking. In the meantime the Manchu government, greatly alarmed, had given the premiership to China's "strong man,” Yuan Shi Kal. Y'uan had been In dlsg”aee with the Manchus, but his services were necesanry. Later the baby emperor abdicated and Yuan went in as president of the north. Overtures were then made to Dr. Pun. The doctor, an altruist and dreamer, agreed to retire, to save bloodshed, in Y'uan'* favor as president of ail China, conditioned upon the latter's estabtlsh-

1 other motive than their opposition to the system of centralization of power in the Central Government. The former Chlng dynasty, through a<-fual rxpe rlences, had already suffered it* evils. The present Central Government cannot speak of concentration of power. Ft can rather properly speak of the concentration of evils or calamities. With refer enre to self-government, the laws recently promulgated by the Government are now being gradually enforced, and it would be very desirable if the existing laws on the system of self-government be Improved and perfected, so as to enable the people to enjoy their natural development and to avoid war. RESULTS NOT VISIBLE HE SAYS 1 “Last year Szechuan, Yunnan and other Lprovlnces announced their system of sclf'government. One year has elapsed, yet -we still can gee no results therefrom. Tl.' slogan of self government has of late been taken advantage of by demagogues as their standard, and the consequence has been that more fighting ensued and that local bandits took advantage of the situation of disorder to roh and plunder, both contributing to the devastation of the various provinces. Such an application of self government is nothing but self-confusion. Again in the different provinces men have sought power and wealth, and one fought with another successively. In some eases disputes have broken out over measures of re form ere their effects could bo seen. Such a system of self government can be nothing short of self-confusion aiso. “As for the Southwest, I have stood firm for peace for the last three years and have been willing to compromise on whatever terms proved acceptable. Such a policy has been fully seen by the people of the whole country. Therefore, with reference to the question of unification and how to effect it, you should study over the problem carefully and minutely in order that the unification of the country ma yl> effected at an early date. "HSU SHIN CHANG.” REAPPOINTED ON HIGHWAY BOARD Governor McCray today announced he would reappoint Enid Crawford of Wayne county a member of the State highway commission for a period of four years. Crawford’s term ended April 17, but ho has been serving as a member since that time awaiting action of the Governor. Crawford is a Democrat and is one of the original commission appointed by Governor Goodrich shortly after the law creating the commission was passed by the General Assembly of 1919. Ills term, fixed by law for the first members appointed. was for three years, other members being named for one, two aud four years. The law requires that two members of the commission be Democrats and two Republicans.

3 NEGROES ARE BURNED BY MOB KIUVIN, Texas, May o.—Three negroes were burned bore at dawn for the assault and murder of Eula Ausley. pretty 17-year-old school girl, whose bodv was found near here mutilated by thirty stab wounds. Tied to the seat of a cultivator, placed in the center of the city square hero, the three negroes met their death before a mob of 300. “Snap” Terry, 26, who was captured after n thirty-six-hour chase with bloodhounds, was the first to be burned.

ment of a genuinely republican regime. These terms Y'uan accepted and the whole country passed into his hands. He was a vigorous and very able ruler and would have wound up as nominal as well as actual emperor if he hail lived. Since his death, no man big enough to dominate all factions has appeared. The situation which Immediately preceded present hostilities was this: Dr. Sun, again in control of the southern provinces, is said to have signed a pact with General Chang, in the north, to work for a plan whereby Dr. Sun would be president of all China and Chang would be the vice president. This agreement was made at Mukden. Soon after, Chang sent troops to cut the railroad near I’ekin and to seize the Pekin government from President Hsu Chang. General \Yu Pcl-fu, who is In control of tho centra) provinces and who regards himself ns a guardian of the Hsu administration, thereupon brought his troops into the field. t'hang launched an attack and announced his intention of holding his grip on Pekin.

ISSUE OF TAXES TO DETERMINE PREMIER’S FATE British Parliament to Consider New Budget at Meeting Monday. LONDON, May 6. The next turning point in the dramatic career of David Lloyd George will coma when the financial budgets fnr the next fiscal year are ' debated In Parliament. On those budgets may depend the future political ' successes of tho little Welshman, who has been through storm and vicissitudes for the last seven years. Will the budgets permit of a reduction in taxation? This 1r the question which Is uppermost in every British mind today. and unless Lloyd George's government 'an offer some promises of reduced taxes it is almost certain that he and his party will go down to d-feat in the next general election, which is now scheduled for late summer or early autumn. There are three classes of taxes which the British pu> lie is demanding be reduced. These are:: The income tax. The tax on beer. The tax on tea. All of these taxes reach every class of British subjects. The Income tax is an onerous weight to tho middle anti upper classes, who are now paving tl shllilnpa in income tax out of every 20 shillings received in income. This heavy fax is weighing down those whose incomes have already been greutly reduced by war losses, j The tax on beer goes homo to the j work! T classes. They enjoy their glass ! of beer, but they resent paving fl cents in tax on every 10-cent glass of beer which they drink. The tax on tea hits every Britisher. It is comparatively small tax, hut still it is a tar on the drinking of tea. which is a necessity to every Britisher, who hates to think that his afternoon pleasure is taxed. Lloyd George undoubtedly will meet these tax objections by one means or another. He realizes that he has an election on his hands, and he knows tho temper of the people. Whether or not ; the Government will be able to announce budget reductions, however, which will show that the reputed economy of the government has been effective is still a matter of conjecture. The budgets constitute a real crisis for Lloyd George. The question is whether he will surmount these obstacles as he has all others.

HELICOPTER IS ACTUALITY, SAYS BRITISH FLIERS Air Ministry Maintains Strictest Secrecy About Developments. LONDON, May 6.—The helicopter, an airplane which flies perpendicularlly, is virtually an actuality according to authoritative information. The sir ministry of Great Britain is maintaining the strictest secrecy concerning the development of the helicopter, but it is learned that tests which already have been made indicate that within n very short time the air ministery will be able to announce that a British inventor has perfected the helicopter. Louis Brennan is the inventor who is working on the helicopter, under the encouragement of the British government.! Brennan's experiments are being carried ' out behind closed doors at Farnshoro. | a id it is learned that no more than four per sons have thus far seen the result of ills efforts. His staff of engineers is very small, and when it becomes necessary for he employment of a large number of men in the work is allotted to various chops and is done according to specified--1 ions which make it impossible for tho workmen to learn what they are achieving. When each group of workmen competes Its part of the work tho whole is assembled by Brennan and his assistants .n the secrecy of aerial sheds at Earns boro. EXPERIMENTS EXPKNSn E. Brennan's experimental works at Farnshoro are very expensive and it is understood that several test fights of the aellcopter have already been made. It j has boon officially admitted that the | helicopter has successfully flown, but . here has been no announcement of the, height of the flight or its duration. It j Is understood, however, that these pre- i tlmlnarv tests have caused Brennan to | give assurance to the British air ministry that within a comparatively short time he | k ill be able to demonstrate publicly the [ feasibility of the helicopter. The British government has offered a ; prizt of $200,000 to the first successful In- { ventor of a helicopter and at Farnshoro j there are numerous mechanics who are j wagering that Brennan will collect the prize. # 1 From Paris comes a report that Mar- ' quis Paters Pescara, inventor of the i Pescara helicapter, has completed a sue- I cessful test before the French minister of , air at Iss.v les Moulineaux. The British air ministry, however, will ! continue tests with Brennan’s machine, 1 hopeful that it will prove more successful than that of the French inventor. While considerable rivalry exists between the j ,wo nations in the development of this i aovel nlrcrnft Great Britain's enthusiasts j are not divulging any of their plans. MR. GALLOP’S AMBITION.

SOCIETY WILL JAZZ UP DULL LC NDONOFFICES For Instance, Musical Typewriter Is Proposed to Lighten Daily Grind. LONDON, May o.—Anxious about the results of t-e monotony and dullness of London commercial offices, a society is being formed with the intentton of tV-lghtening the existence of these dark places so far as may be possible. It is poiritefl out that hundreds of thousands of people live the greater part of their lives in the dingy institutions known as offices and that the atmosphere therein must have its effect on their dispositions when elsewhere. Anything, therefore, that can help to make offices places of delight must be for the good of the community at large. The first great attack is to be made on the monotonous, tapping typewriter. It is suggested that, wherever possible, musical typewrites should he installed forthwith and that stenographers should be instructed in the art of playing their corr >spondence to airs that might be deemed appropriate. Invoices, it Is pointed out, might be typed on an appealing note, pianissimo and long drawn out, while receipts might be rattled off to bright music from the latest revue. Personal letters dictated by the heads of firms should be switched on to music of the latest amorous ballad, and replies to demands for quicker service should be written to the music of a mediaeval minuet. WHISTLING CLASSES FOR OFFICE BOYS. A certain amount of attention, also, should be devoted to the better musical education of the office boy. Whistling classes should be arranged for them every morning, and competent siffleurs should be engaged to make certain that no hidden talent in this direction should lie unused. It is a matter of common knowledge that great talent in the direction of whistling is either wasted or unused in the case of the office boy. Any latent genius of this character should not be allowed to tie hidden—far less suppressed —among this important section of the community, snd for the benefit of all any talent of this kind should be given the highest and must sympathetic encouragement. The services of a cartoonist might aiso h. usefully employed. He might give ii - si ruction on the best way to enliven the tnarkins of the firm's account books and letterheads with humorous caricatures of the various members of the staff. It is also sugested that he might do a funny black-and-white drawing of the boss to t be pasted on the safe for the edification ; of all. JOKES FOR PHONE WAITERS. Again, demands for payment might be made out on a special paper, with a picture of the firm's lawyer, armed to the teeth, standing out firmly against a cloudy background and suggesting the ultimate fate of th defaulting debtor. Telephone operators, also, might help in this brightening process. They might be taught either to toil funny Jokes to waiting subscribers or to engage them in polite and improving conversation. For irndance: “So sorry your line is busy, “fWys the operator, “but have you read 'Broken Windows?’” “Who is it by:” asked the subscriber. "Eva Brick.” is the reply. An office run on these lines should be bright, snappy, enterprising and efficient.

Premier, according to his most Intimate friends, turns to the financial page when he takes up his morning newspaper and looks at the quotations for the English pound sterling on the New York Stock Exchange. Andrew Carnegie, the late steel king, is primarily responsible for the premier's interest in American exchange, for under the will of Carnegie the British prime minister receives an annuity of 2,000 pounds, but the annuity is in American dollars and therefore its value in British pounds fluctuates with the exchange market. In 1921 the prime minister received nearly 3.000 pounds by virtue of the Carnegie bequest, but since the exchange has been rising this annuity has been decreasing. The prime minister is now faced with the expense of building anew country home in Surrey and he has also given orders to real estate agents in London to keep a watchful eye for him a town house in London, against the day when he gives up his residence at Ten Downing street. Although the premier and Dame Margaret lead a quiet life in London, nevertheless the expenses of official life eat heavily into the salary which David Lloyd George receives from the British. Government, therefore the state of Amerportance in the household of Ten Down'can exchange is a question of prime itnng street.
