before the rebellion began. The paper
draws ttie conclusion that the princess
believes that the Manchu cause was
lost and decided to flee. The prin-
cess is said to have taken a fortune
in jewels with her.
An actor and a barber are. classed

DEFENSE CLOSES
IN "TAB CASE"
PROSECUTOR BITTERLY ASSAILS
CONDITIONS WHICH PERMIT-
TED TARRING OF WOMAN.
r:uc of
All of the Defendants Were on the
Stand Today All Telling the Same
Story As Was Related Yesterday.
Lincoln ("i nter Kan. Nov. 22.- Hit-
telly assailing the conditions which
permitted that tar and feathers rel-
ics of the barbai inns could be ap-
plied to a girl in a civilized com-
munity and yet no worse penalty
could be asked for the perpetrators
than imprisonment or an insignifi-
cant fine Prosecutor McCanless in
tho "tar party" case addressed the
jury today asking that they do their
duty in wiping the stain from Kan-
sas' name.
"I have heard of tar and feathers
.being applied to men in ancient times
and men ridden on a rail bii' this
is a woman our sister. Kven a dog
deserve..:; better treatment than she
was given at the hands of these des-
peradoes. Robin Hood and his des-
peradoes would have refrained from
such as they did on the night of
August 7. It has been intimated
that Mis? Chamberlain did not have
a good reputation. I would. challenge
that if necessary. INo matter if she
was the vilest character on earth she
!s entitled to the protection of our
laws. Why in the name of God and
ail reason have these men so dese-
crated our laws" said the prosecutor.
The defense closed at noon. All
of the defendants wero on hand.
Kach told tho samo story the same
practically as related yesterday.
A touch of romance came in the
brief period on the stand of Homer
llefllck who had been keeping com-
pi.i.y with Miss Chamberlain. Heflick
said he heard James llooze say "I
was not at the tarring but my God
I would have been there if I could.
Sheriff Clark testified to meeting
Chester Anderson the afternoon of
August 7.
"Did you have any conversation
about Miss Chamberlain?" was asked
the officer.
"Yes we talked about her actions.
How she had been seen coming from
a tent occupied by a bridge gang and
about her relations with two young
men" replied the sheriff.
The defense rested and the cross-examination
began. It is believed that
most of the closing arguments "will
have been finished late today.
PURCELL BRIDGE COMPLETED.

the State.
Puree! Okla. Nov. 21. The Iat
pin was placed Tuesday morning

in the state o Oklahoma. It is the
new steel bridge spanning the Canad-
ian river between Purcell and Lex-
ington. It total length Is 3357 t

Can Not Regulate Tobacco.
Do you use tue want ads?
Oklahoma City Nov. 21. The
state health department has no pow-
er to regulate the sale of tobacco
! according to an opinion by Attorney
General West.
U. S. Russell chief pure food in-
spector and drug inspector of the de-
partment asked the attorney general
for an opinion as to whether tobacco
can be classed as a food or a drug.
The opinion holds that it is neither
a food drug or medicine under the
Oklahoma pure food and drug act.
As a rule the state health depart-
ment has no power to prosecute man-
ufacturers or dealers even though
they adulterate their products. The
state health department has received
numerous complaints that tobacco and
cigars are being adulterated and sold
to the Oklahoma public in that form.
WALL SHEET ON
DYNAMITE
INTERNATIONA L BANKER SAYS
ENORMOUS STOCK EXCHANGE
LOANS ARE DANGEROUS.
ASSETS OF A
Should .'Jot He Says. Be Stacks and
Bonds Nor Loans on Stocks and
Bonds Out Should Go into Commer-
cial P.iper His Address.
New ' . Vans. La.. No . 2 1. --"Wall
Stm-i is :i ru'er on a Leg of :.. a-
mite" .-i:d Paul Warburg tlie New
Tori '...nWer member of one of the
great iuvru.-.tiona! flnam ial firms to-
day in pleading for banking reform
And piini. insurance before the Amer-
ican linkers' Contention.
Mr. Warburg said that the great
weukmns of American .banking lay
In the.ilangiToiisly large use of Stock
Exchange collateral as the basis for
bank leans instead of the use as in
Kurope. of commercial paper arising
out of ili" normal day-to-day movement
of good- from producers to consumers.
"The main assets of a bank" he
said "ought not to be stocks and
bonds nor loans on stocks and bonds
but commercial paper. But a bank
the deposits of which may be with-
drawn on demand at any time must
have assets which can be reduced to
bank credits within the quickest time
and with tho smallest possible loss.
Commercial paper nml bank accept-
ances form the main asset of European
banks. - These bills have the widest
possible market where millions are ex-
changed daily with margins of 1-1G
per cent or J-S per cent in the Inter-
est rate without scrutinizing the pa-
per when the bargain is struck.
"The mobilization of the promissory
note the system which enables Eu-
rope to transform bills into bank cred-
its as quickly as staples or securities
is the explanation of Europe's success
where we fail. If a hanking system
as ours. Is built up on promissory
notes which have no free market tbe
consequences must needs be that when
deposits are withdrawn heavily or
when there is a strong commercial
demand for money that stock ex-
change loans must be culled and hold-
ings of securities must be sacrificed
these being the only available liquid
assets.
This mean- great economic waste
and often calamity for it is an abso-
lutely perverse system that expects
a normal investment demand in times
moreover when money is scarce to
be aide to supply a sufficient sum to
satisfy till the immense commercial
demands of the entire nation. More-
over it follows that priceB of secur-
ities have to be so far reduced that
at bargain or sometimes bankruptcy
prices an abnormal demand for se-
curities at home or abroad must be
stimulated.
"Tli is method is i:ot only wasteful but
as the past has shown us it. is most
daiiL'erous. A modern system must
provide for means for lianks to rely
upon their ability of marketing their
bills receivable which represent the
trade and commerce of the whole na-
tion. In a modem system this can
be done without appalling losses there
being no question of sacrifice of cap-
ital in selling securities but only a
question of difference in rate of in-
terest in selling paper. Moreover it
can be done without creating a panic;
since gradual licaildation of commer-
cial paper means a reduction of the
volume of all commerce and trade.

tions showing the superiority of the
Ifuropean system. During the Morocco
crisis a war scare developed in France
and actual hoarding of gold began; tlr;
withdrawals from the deposit bank;;
were at a given moment alarming. Hut
there followed no pnnic. The Banque
do France issued notes freely the
French banks collected their holdings
of foreign paper and the general con-
fidence in the Uanqiie of France's
power to cope with the situation over-
came the fright without the horrors
that would have ensued with us.
"When France for reasons just ex-
plained and as a means of political
pressure withdrew from Germany
more than 200 million marks that
temporarily had been invested there
when Knglish and Russian government
motley were culled back Germany
had to face a very severe strain. What
would have become of Germany with-
out the Kelchsbank? Without the con-
fident reliance that the Iteichsbank
would be able to meet the situation
and without Its ability to act suspen-
sion would have been inevitable.
"We had no war scare in 1007 and
the country was full of gold but rates
of -jfi per cent and 100 per cent could
uot briii'--. money because our system
or rather lack of system had kill-
ed our own confidence in our own
credit. We have no credit system but
a discredit system.
"Not infrequently one hears the re-
mark: If it be true that the National
Reserve Association will demoralize
our system and turn the banks' call
money into the bill market to a large
extent faking it away from Wail
Street why should the latter favor
the new law?
"The answer is plain: This over
flow of money which in times of ease
floods New York and which in times
of need is withdrawn with such ve-
hemence that it causes violent convul
sions is no blessing but a source of
danger to that city. While our pres-
ent system makes New York the un
doubted money center and gives to its
banks a position of pre-eminence and
predominance this power is possess

bility which with our present system.

on a keg of dynamite. And like many
an absolute ruler In recent years it
finds it more conducive to safety and
happiness to forego some of its pre-
rogatives thrust upon New York not
by its own will but as a result of our
present laws and conditions and to
turn a money oligarchy Into a consti-
tutional democratic federation. The
National IlcRerve Association if enact-
