# Who's Who in China (3rd edition)/Chang Kuang-chien

General Chang Kuang-chien
張廣建字勳伯
General Chang Kuang-chien was born at Hofei Hsien, Anhui Province, in 1867. He was a mandarin in Ching Regime, and in November 1911 he was appointed Lieutenant Governor or Financial Commissioner of Shantung and also Superintendent of the Government Granary. In January 1912 he was appointed acting Governor of Shantung and was ordered to hold concurrently the position of Provincial Commander-in-Chief. In March of the same year he was summoned to Peking and in December 1912 he was appointed Governor of the Metropolitan District. In September 1913 he was transferred to the Frontier Commissioner of Shensi and Kansu. In March 1924 General Chang was appointed acting Mingchengchang (Civil Governor) and Tutu (Military Commissioner) of Kansu and was made a Major General. In May 1914 the Mingchen-chang was changed into Hsunanshih and in June 1914 Tutu in to Chiang-chun. He therefore was Mingcheng Chang and Chiangchun, directing military affairs of Kansu. In July 1916 another change of these title names was effected and General Chang was ​appointed Shengchang (Civil Governor) and Tuchun (Military Governor) of Kansu. In January 1920 General Chang received the First Class Tashou Paokuang Chiaho Decoration. In October he was awarded by the President a "Sword of Eight Lions." In December he was removed by a Presidential Mandate from the Governorship of Kansu and created a Chiangchun with the honorable title of "Huan Wei." He left this post in the spring of 1921. In October 1921 General Chang was appointed Tutung (Civil and Military Administrator) of "Chinese Descendants under the Plain Yellow Banner," a unit of the Manchu Military Organization which position he is still holding. In October 1922 General Chang was awarded the Third Order of Merit and in January 1923 he was made a Lieutenant General. In February 1924 he was made a Full General.

# Winona & St. Peter Railroad Company v. United States

United States Supreme Court
165 U.S. 483
Winona & St. Peter Railroad Company v. United States
This was a bill filed by the United States in the circuit court of the United States for the district of Minnesota against the Winona & St. Peter Railroad Company, the Winona & St. Peter Land Company, and Thomas Marshall, Jr. The suit was one to set aside the certification of a patent made to the state of Minnesota for the benefit of the defendant railroad company of the N. E. 1/4 of section 35, township 106 N., range 18 W., which certification was of date December 1, 1862. After answers, proof, and an agreed statement as to certain facts, a decree was entered by the circuit court, August 29, 1894, dismissing the bill. On appeal to the court of appeals for the Eighth circuit this decree was, on May 6, 1895, reversed (32 U.S. App. 306, 15 C. C. A. 117, and 67 Fed. 969), and the case remanded, with instructions to enter a decree granting the relief prayed for.
It appears from the agreed statement that on July 3, 1857, Thomas Marshall, Jr., one of the defendants, made a pre-emption filing at the proper local land office of the land in controversy, which filing was prima facie regular and valid, and was never canceled on the records of the land office. The construction of the railroad of the defendant railroad company was conceded; and it was agreed that on the 1st of March, 1877, defendant Marshall, being still in possession, and claiming to be the owner thereof, the defendant land company, which had a conveyance from the railroad company, commenced an action of ejectment against him in the district court of Dodge county, Minn., that court having jurisdiction of the subjectmatter; that Marshall appeared in such action, and such proceedings were had that on the 9th day of December, 1878, the court rendered judgment in favor of the plaintiff for the possession of the land; that no appeal was taken from such judgment, and that the same now remains in full force and effect; and that in pursuance thereof said Marshall surrendered possession to the defendant land company, and since that time the defendant land company has remained in possession, and paid the taxes; that Marshall, on November 15, 1887, filed with the commissioner of the general land office, and now has pending before the land department, an application for reinstatement of his rights to said land, which application has not been acted upon, as it is held by the said department that it has no jurisdiction to pass thereon. Other facts are agreed to such as are stated in the opinion in the case No. 321, of U.S. v. Railroad Co. (just decided) 17 Sup. Ct. 368.
J. A. Tawney, for appellants.
Sol. Gen. Conrad, for the United States.
Mr. Justice BREWER, after stating the facts in the foregoing language, delivered the opinion of the court.

United States Supreme Court
159 U.S. 540
Winona & St. P. Land Company v. Minnesota (159 U.S. 540)
This case is similar to the one between the same parties just decided (16 Sup. Ct. 83), in that the questions presented to the state courts involved the taxability of lands included in the legislative grants of May 22, 1857, and March 10, 1862, the Barney contract of October 31, 1867, and the decree in the United States circuit court of March 7, 1887. The tax proceedings were under the law of 1881, but were had in the county of Brown instead of the county of Redwood. The case, however, differs from the preceding, in that the federal questions sought to be raised in this court were not seasonably presented in the state courts. The alleged immunity from taxation and lack of due process of law were not 'specially set up or claimed' prior to the decision in the supreme court. The failure so to do prevents this court, as has been frequently held, from acquiring jurisdiction. Spies v. Illinois, 123 U.S. 131, 181, 8 Sup. Ct. 21; Brooks v. Missouri, 124 U.S. 394, 8 Sup. Ct. 443; Chappell v. Bradshaw, 128 U.S. 132, 9 Sup. Ct. 40; Brown v. Massachusetts, 144 U.S. 573, 12 Sup. Ct. 757; Bank v. Bollong, 150 U.S. 85, 14 Sup. Ct. 24; Powell v. Brunswick Co., 150 U.S. 433, 14 Sup. Ct. 166; Miller v. Texas, 153 U.S. 535, 14 Sup. Ct. 874; Morrison v. Watson, 154 U.S. 111, 14 Sup. Ct. 995; Sayward v. Denny, 158 U.S. 180, 15 Sup. Ct. 777.
The writ of error must therefore be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

Winchester v. Loud
Sullivan M. Cutcheon, for appellant.
This is a suit in equity, begun in a state court of Michigan by Henry M. Loud, the appellee, a citizen of Michigan, against Charles Winchester and Herbert F. Whiting, citizens of Massachusetts, and George E. Wasey, Henry N. Loud, and Aaron F. Gay, citizens of Michigan, and removed to the circuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Michigan at the instance of the defendant Winchester, on the ground, as stated in the petition for removal, 'that the principal controversy in said suit is wholly between said plaintiff (Henry M. Loud) and your petitioner (Winchester) who are citizens of different states, and which controversy can be fully determined as between them, and that your petitioner is actually interested in said controversy.' When the copy of the record was filed in the circuit court, that court remanded the suit to the state court. From an order to that effect this appeal was taken.

# Winchester v. Loud/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
108 U.S. 130
Winchester v. Loud
The petition for removal was filed before answer, and we must look, therefore, to the bill alone to determine what the controversy is. From this it appears that Henry M. Loud claims that the defendants Wasey, Henry M. Loud, and Whiting hold certain real and personal property in trust to secure a debt owing by him and the defendant Gay to the defendant Winchester; and, after the debt is paid, for the use and benefit of himself and Gay. He asks for an accounting by the trustees, the removal of Wasey and Whiting, and the appointment of others in their places; and, after the debt is paid, a conveyance of what remains of the trust property in accordance with the terms of the trust. The case presents but a single controversy, although it involves the determination of several questions. It may be that Winchester is the principal defendant in interest, but full and complete relief cannot be afforded in respect to the single cause of action, to-wit, the trust, without the presence of all the parties to the suit. According to the averments in the bill, all the defendants except Henry M. Loud deny the existence of the trust, and, if that should be established, all the defendants are directly interested in the relief that is asked. The case falls clearly within the rule stated in Hyde v. Ruble, 104 U.S. 407.
The order remanding the suit is affirmed.

# Winder's letter to Walthall

This is a letter sent from professor R. B. Winder, a cellmate of American Civil War war criminal Henry Wirz, to CSA Major W. T. Walthall - in response to Congress' inquiries about Wirz's guilt.
BALTIMORE, November 16, 1875.
Major W. T. WALTHALL:
My Dear Sir - Your letter of the 25th of last month was duly received, and except from sickness should have been replied to long ago. I take pleasure in giving you the facts which you request, but they have already been published several times in the different papers of the country.
A night or two before Wirz's execution, early in the evening, I saw several male individuals (looking like gentlemen) pass into Wirz's cell. I was naturally on the "qui vive" to know the meaning of this unusual visitation, and was hoping and expecting, too, that it might be a reprieve - for even at that time I was not prepared to believe that so foul a judicial murder would be perpetrated - so I stood at my door and directly saw these men pass out again. I think, indeed I am quite certain, there were three of them. Wirz came to hi door, which was immediately opposite to mine, and I gave him a look of inquiry which he at once understood. He said: "these men have just offered me my liberty if I will testify against Mr. Davis and criminate him with the charges against the Andersonville prison; I told them that I could not do this, as I neither knew Mr. Davis personally officially, or socially, but that if they expected with the offer of my miserable life to purchase me to treason and treachery to the South, they had undervalue me."
I asked him if he knew who the parties were. He said "no," and that they had refused to tell him who they were - but assured him that they had full power to do whatever they might promise. This is all, and as you perceive, I did not hear the conversation, but merely report what Wirz said to me - but he also made the same statement to his counsel, Mr. Schade, of Washington city, and he has also, under his own signature, published these facts.
You will better understand the whole matter from the accompanying diagram of our respective jails. The doors opened immediately opposite, and it was such not weather that they allowed the doors to be open - the corridor being always heavily guarded by sentinels, a sentinel was always posted directly between these openings - but Wirz and myself were often allowed to converse.
Very truly yours,
R. B. WINDER.
