SORE-EYED CHINAMAN BARRED
Deportatloa of Stadent May Have Bad
Effect 1'pon Feeling
la China.
WASHINGTON. July ?. Through the
enforcement of the Immigration laws of
the' United States against a Chinese stu
dent, who wss one of a party which ar
rived In Seattle a short time ago. a young
Chinaman of great promise was forced to I
return to his native country, and the case
may result In intensifying the criticism
China offers against the Immigration re
strictions this country Imposes on Chinese
of the favored classes.
The student deported was a member of a
narty of thirty-eight young Chinamen
whom Dr. Charles D. Tenev, a Harvard
man and a member of the faculty of the
Imperial Chinese university, brought to
this country. It was said by health offi
cers that the young student, who wrs one
of the brightest members of the party, was
suffering with trachoma, a disease of the
eyes, and after a board had passed on his
case the young man was ordered back to
China.
Dr. Teney took the other students to
Camhridge, Mass., where they are now at-
tending the Harvard summer school. Half
of the young Chinese will be sent to schools
in Great Britain and the others will be
placed In engineering schools in this coun
try. The four young Chinese are being
educated by the Chinese government and
the other members of the party are paying
their own expenses.
The students are said to be the fore
runners of a large delegation to be aent
within a few years to this country In case
the United States modifies Its restrictions
upon Chinese of the educated classes and
makes conditions ' here attractive to the
young students. Fear Is expressed, how
ever, that the deportation of the young
student with eye trouble will not be un
derstood In China and may have, eomo
effect on the coming of large numbers of
students to American universities.

ABOUT DENATURED ALCOHOL
Information that A at wen Many Questions
People Are How Aikinc
POSSIBILITIES AND PROSPECTS OF LAW
How far the Fael Alcohol May Be
r4 for Prooelllaar rower
oad la the Meehaale
Arts.
Judging from many Inquiries received, as
well as from erroneous comments even In
trade papers regarding the recently enacted
"Free Denatured Alcohol" law, It seems
that the public at large Is very much In
the dark regarding the purpose, operation
and probable effect of the new law. It
will depend somewhat upon the rules and
regulations to be formulated and announced
by the commissioner of Internal revenue
sometime before January 1, when the law
becomes effective for Its operation.
Let It be understood first that tax free
"denatured'' ulcohol Is regular every day
alcohol to which 'denaturing'' Ingredients
have been added, substsnces which so
change Its taste and odor that It can never
be used In beverages, medicines or for
other Internal oonsumptlon.
The present revenue tax Is $110 per gal
lon of 100 degrees strength, and as a gal
lon of alcohol has lit degrees, the Internal
revenue tax on It la 12.068, and all aloohol
for whatever purpose now consumed In this
country, whether distilled from grain or
molasses, pays that tax, excepting an in
significant amount used by educational In
stitutions, such as colleges, which the gov
ernment permits to be withdrawn from
bond free of tax.
The passage of the denatured bill, I be
lieve, was helped along materially by the
alleged opposition of the Standard Oil peo
ple. It may be doubted whether any such
opposition wss ever exerted. The popular
belief that untaxed grain or molasses
alcohol can compete with gasoline, or for
the purposes for which gasoline Is used.
may prove a disappointment. Gasoline Is
selling for 15 cents per gallon. Including
cooperage. Grain alcohol, at present cost
of corn, cannot be produced even under
most favorable conditions at less than
twice that price. It stands to reason that
no article can be an active competitor of
another similar article costing only half
much, especially when the latter has
10 per cent more efficiency. Recent expert
ments at the State Agricultural College of
Missouri seem to have demonstrated that
it requires 1 4-10 pounds alcohol to equal
one pound of gasoline.
Advantages of Alcohol.
There la no question but what alcohol is
much cleaner and safer to handle and use
than gasoline, and for that reason will be
preferred in many ways, even though it
costs more than gasoline, but to what ex
tent It will replace gasoline as domestic
or motor fuel, from which so much is ex
pected, remains to be proven.
The distillers who will come nearest com-
peting
ith gasoline are those who are
manufacturing either from beet or cane
molasses, either of which will produce al
cohol very much more cheaply than grain.
even when grain Is much cheaper than It
is now.
Strong opposition to the passage of the
free alcohol law waa supposed to have
been exerted also by the manufacturers
of wood alcohol, which has had the ad
vantage to go untaxed ever since the
process of making It was invented. But It
costs more than grain alcohol to produce.
besides being poisonous and undesirable
for other reasons. Free grain or molasses
alcohol would have the effect cf running
wood alcohol out of the market were It
not for its use as a denaturing agent.
Grain or molasses alcohol under the new
law will In all probability be denatured by
the addition of from 6 to 10 per cent of
wood alcohoK the same as in England and
Germany. Aa the wood alcohol people pro.
duce only 7.0O0.000 gallons per annum, which
quantity Would be eventually required for
denaturing purposes, they must have felt
fairly secure that their industry would
not suffer from the free alcohol law.
tne use or free aiconoi ror fuel, m.
chanlcal and similar purposes may increase
Its consumption enormously, and yet It
may be disappointing. Much will depend
upon the regulations to be promulgated I -
the commissioner of internal revenue.
While he may be entirely In sympathy
with the sponsors of the law and Its sub
jects, he must, on the other hand, pro.
tect the government against fraud. The
high Internal revenue tax on spirits will
prove to be a great Incentive for the
illegal or fraudulent use of denatured al
cohol, which the commissioner's rules must
seek to prevent. He will In all proba
bility require the dealers In denatured al
cohol to take out a license at a nominal
cost for handling that product, similar to
I dealers In oleomargarine, and require them
to keep accurate records of all purchases
and sales of all quantities above, say five
gallons, so that the officers of the Internal
revenue department may at any time trace
every gallon of free alcohol from the dis
tillery to its final destination.
Materials for Maaofactarc.
In theory alcohol can be made from corn
Btanl8 Dut the maCnlnery for making them
available for distillation has not yet been
Invented and may never be. Whether
sorghum ran be raised to advantage for
purposes of distillation will depend some
what on the locality. Alcohol can be made
here aa In Europe from potatoes, but po
tatoes are an uncertain crop and their av.
erage market value Is above the propor
tionate value of grain. Possibly In po
tato states, like Utah and Colorado, whence
freight on both eastern alcohol and gaso
line Is also high, alcohol may be produced
from potatoes to advantage, at least to a
limited local extent. The Department of Ag
riculture, with a view of pointing out the
advantages to be gained by free alcohol, is
coining Jamestown expoeitlon, demonstrat
ing from what material alcohol can be pro
duced and to what uses it can be put;
and to what uses it can be put.
An Important Item in the coat of al
cohol ia the cooperage, ' Barrel stock is
becoming scarcer every dsy and it Is to
be hoped that the commissioner will provide
for handling denatutised alcohol In tanks
and tank care so as to avoid the rxDense
of the barrel, which Is between 1 and (
cents per gallon.
Another Important Item Is freight and
the railroads should be Induced to trans
port denatured alcohol at the same rate aa
gatsolfne, or nearly so. It would be unjuwt
to charge on a commodity worth SO centa
per gallon the same rate as on tax paid
alcohol worth 800 per cent 'more.
I do not believe that the new law will
curtail the sale of tax paid alcohol, or
reduce the revenue derived therefrom
There will probably be aa much tax paid
alcohol consumed as before, because the
use of the denatured product will be so
restricted as not to Interfere with the tax
paid goods, which will still be required
for all beverage purposes, for medicines.
flavoring extracts, etc.

Bonysnir sf Nebraska'! Metropolis,
E. GANSTER CALLS ON THE AMBASSADOR
Kxpreaaea Sarprie aad Pleaaaro at
Enterprlao of Middle Weat aa
Represented by Omaha
Party.
The Brandels buyers, who are now
abroad purchasing goods for the new
store, are pursuing a systematic plan of
exploiting Omaha and Omaha Industries
in Paris.
Word haa Just been received by a cor
respondent of one of the buyers that the
party has made a formal call at the execu
tive mansion of the preeldent of France
and left a handsomely engraved souvenir
loving cup of Omaha, together with a
Morrocco-bound book of views of this city.
With a determination not to disregard
America's chief representative in France,
one of the buyers obtained an audlenca
with the United Statea ambassador. Mr.
McCormlck. and assured him of the Inten
tion of putting Omaha In closer touch
with Paris through the medium of semi
annual visits by Brandela buyers to
France's capital.
The news of this enterprise on tho part
of the Omaha buyers In Paris has just
been made known through a ' letter re
ceived from E. Ganster, buyer for J. Ia
Brandels A Sons. Mr. Ganster Informs
his firm that he went to the Elysses, ac
companied by the -other buyers, August
18, which was announced aa one of Presi
dent Fallleres' reception days, and asked
a few minutes' audience. Unfortunately
the president had annulled this particular
reception period on account of Its prox
imity to July 14, the national Independ
ence day of the republic of France, but
he sent his greetings to the Omaha party
by a secretary and expressed his appre
ciation of the gifts of the loving cud and
the portfolio of views of Omaha buildings.
In his letter Mr. Ganster, who Is a native
of France, expressed the hope that he
would be In Paris on President Fallleres'
next reception day and have the distinc
tion of meeting the chief executive of
France personally.
A few days after the visit at the Elysses
Mr. Ganster called upon Ambassador Mc
Cormlck and was granted a brief audi
ence.
Happy Visit with McCormlck.
"I found Mr. McCormlck very agreeable.
although evidently much occupied with
business," writes Mr. Ganster. "Ho seemed
astonished to learn that a store In Omaha
would evince such unusual enterprise In
sending a party of buyers abroad, and
had some trouble In making him understand
that there were actually five of us buyers
from one Omaha house In Paris, with
another to arrive soon. Of course he took
occasion to express his pleasure In seeing
the middle west so closely In touch with
Paris, and although his remarks sound
formal and stereotyped In cold writing, he
spoke with such Interest and cordiality that
I felt much pleased to have called, even for
a brief Interview. The other men felt sorry
that they had not called with me. They
fancied an Interview with the American
minister as difficult to obtain as an audi
ence with the president of France, and they
had told me that I was simply wasting my
time trying. I told Mr. McCormlck that I
would send him a souvenir card tray of
Omaha. I will dispatch It tomorrow when
I get It from McKnlght's trunk."
Reports of the movements of the Bran
dels buyers abroad show that the party has
broken up toylslt different points. Mr.
Danforth has left Paris to visit Vienna and
Berlin. Mr. McKnlght has returned from
St. Gall and Plauen. the famous centers
for- embroidery and lace on the continent,
and is now In Chmnlti. Mr. Beaslre has
been for a week In Lyons and Mr. Ganster
Is now In England. Mr. Aarons Is still In
Paris, but will leave shortly for London.
There are many buying centers to he vis
ited both In England and on the continent,
and the buyers are making all the haste
possible In order to return to America next
month.
