Commissioner Stadtmueller Had Four Men Before Him for Hearing. Dairy Commissioner Frank H, Stadt- wueller held hearings Tuesday. in his office in the state capitol on complaints made against four persons for selling renovated butter contrary to law. Commissioner Stadtmueller said that he was determined to make people who eell imitations of butter observe the law. He belleved that there was a very large quantity of imitation butter sold In this state annually. From the in- formation which has been given him be thought the quantity reached about 2,000,000 pounds ann . _There were from 30,000 to 40,000 pounds sold con- trary to law. There was no excuse, he said, for violating the law. It was not his province to pass on the question of buying imitation butter instead of genuine bptter. This was a matter which was left to the individual urchaser, But he thought the pu r should be ap lowed to exercise his judgment as to what he wantedand that when be ask- ed for a pound of butter he.should be .Il:een it and not a -pound of something else. The ground for the complaints on which he had a hearing Tuesday was that the vendors had not adequate signs displayed In thelr stores and that the package. _containing imitation which was sold the agent of his de- partment, who had asked and paid for genuine butter, was not correctly stamped.

Peking, Sept. 14—(Correspondence of The Associated Press)—Not only has the stream of travelers from America dropped off greatly, but vis- itors no longer come in great num- bers across the Trans-Sibernian rall- way, and English, Germans, French- men, Belgians, Russians and Aus- trians of military age have gone back to Euyope in large numbers and thy Europeans still in China seem to be in little mood to travel. A few Amer- icans, mostly women, find their way to the show places of China in spite of the upset conditions of ocean travel commerce -and international affairs. An occasional transport from the Phil- ippines lands a large party of Ameri- cans who seek out the fam. tombs, walls and temples within easy’ h of Tientsin and Peking. “More better when gets cool.” is the optimistie rrediction of the Chinese owners of empty hotel But their faita in a rush this autumn is weak and all are hoping for speedy peace. The announcement that Europegn sallings from America for Europe would be very light this season be- cause of the submarine warfare and the upset conditions in the continent- al capitals gave rise to the hope in the Far East that the annual summer rush to Europe would turn Chinaward this yeer. There were expectations that teachers and other Americans who must take their vacations in the sum- mer would surely ocem to the Far East this season, but the expectations have not been realized. Chinglungchiao, .which forms the gateway to Mongolia, is ordinarily thronged in fine weather by sight- seers who come from JPeking to view the great wall. It is here that the new Kalgan line. which the Chinese government is bullding into Mongo- lia, cuts through the great wall, thus connecting the heart of China with the barbarians, whom the ancient em- perors tried to keep out by the great barriers of stcne and brick. The well preserved ruins of the wall, with its great watchtowers, threand their way across the high mountains surround- ng this point where it hindered their passage through a deep gorge. In another place they tunneled beneath the narrow mountain supporting the wall and afforded a passage for trains whose smoke fllls the recesses of a ruined fortress which formerly afford- ed sheiter for Chinese archers intent on keeping out the savages from the north and zouth. Donkey boys and coolies an dbeggars still await the trains from Peking, but thelr patience iy poorly rewarded. It is an excepticnal train would yleld three *ourists, d many of the trains do mot carry a single visitor. The same condition prevalls Naneou, the railway station twelve milos south where tourists leave the train to make the ten mile donkey ride to the Ming Tombs, probably the most famous show place in Northern Chi- na. 4 that point the tombs of thirteen members of the Ming dynasty are scattered about a great plain which is hemmed in on three sides by high mountains chosen as a protection against evil spirits. In the great marble arch m stands at the entrance to the troops of naked childreg wait in vain for tourists who will toss them silver. Along the rows of tic marble camels, elephants and ms which line the once royal avenue to the tombs, Joafers, tired of walting for visitors, beat tomtoms, wave flags and shout in an effort to scare away the flying locusts are attacking the nelehboring millet flelds. ‘Witkin the great red walls which encircle the tombs and temples half-naked attendants are be- neath the groves of gnarled. oaks and cedars. Visitors are so few that the gates are kept locked and it takes loud rapping to the gatekeepers because of the din the lo- cust fighters are keeping up through- out the fertile valley.
