She fired five shots, all of which took
effect. Kennedy died almost instantly,

Such change in habits, DR.. Hall went
on to say, would be accompanied by a
rapid evolution of the body. Those
members of the primeval human race
who stood most erect and could carry
their bodies farthest and fastest upon
their legs would have far better
chance in their struggle for existence
than those which did not have such a
capacity. These conditions would then
result in very great strengthening and
increase in girth and length of the legs,

New York, June 15.-The Chinese in.
the United States are preparing for an
organized fight to obtain the absolute
repeal of the Geary exclusion act at the
coming session of congress. The move
ment started inthis city early in the
week and it is expected to spread rap
idly to Philadelphia, Chicago, Portland,
Seattle, San Francisco ard other cities
having large Chinese populations. A
powerful organization has been effected
among the Chinese merchants of this
city
Within the next two weeks every one
of the 5000 Chinese here will be asked
to sign carefully prepared memorial To
the United States government, asking
that the exclusion act be repealed. The
memorial will protest in the strongest
possible terms against having the act
extended for twenty years from the date
II its expiration in 1902. 1t will be for
warded to the government, along with
similar memorials prepared in other
cities. thru Wu Ting Fang. the Chinese
minister at Washington.
An effort will be made to obtain the
support of thousands of Americans who
the Chinese believe are opposed TO the
exclusion act. They Will be asked to
sign a petition to congress which Chs
neee lawyers and students are now
drawing up. The Chinese realize the
handicap which is placed on the move
ment thru their lack of suffrage. They
hope to persuade some political organ
