ADVOCATES ABOLITION
OF OPIUM TRADE
Rx Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
I LONDON, Oct. 3.-The Chinese min
fsterat London sent an exhaustive dis
patch to Pekin last July advocating the
abolition of the opium trade, and his
proposals to this end may be taken as
an indication of the shape to be given
the regulations to enforce the recent
governmental edict against the traffic.
The minister counselled the gradual
diminution of the cultivation of the
poppy by a system of registration and
licensing, under which native cultiva-
tors would reduce yearly the area un-
der cultivation until the industry
ceased entirely.
He further urged system of per-
mits to aged opium smokers, the linn
iting and gradual reductions in the
consumption of the drug, the prohibi-
ton of smoking to the young, the clos
ing of opium dens and shops, the con-
centration of the trade in the hands
of single company recognized by the
government, whose shareholders shall
be the chief drug merchants of the
larger towns, and that this company i
license be renewed yearly and it's cap
ital reduced 10 per cent year in order
to insure a corresponding reduction in
cultivation.
The Importation of opium from India
is to be limited to meeting any defici-
ency in the supply.
Provision is to be made in the gov
eminent workshop for the care of all
those suffering physically or mentally
as result of their endeavors to for
sake the opium habit, while those de-
clining to abandon smoking after the
prohibition comes into force are to be
forbidden from taking any office under
the government or in any governmental
institution.

MOSCOW, oct. 3.-The combined
meeting tonight of the st. Petersburg
and Moscow committees of the Octo-
berists was summoned to solve tho
awkward situation arising from the
letter of M. Guchkoff, the possible with
drawal of M. Shiuoff and the threat
ened break-up of the party.
AS soon as the meeting had beer
convened M. Guchkof, briefly an
bounced his resignation of the presi-
dency and the party left the room.
He was, however, at once unan-
imously reelected.
The vote of confidence in M. Ouch
koff specified approval of drumhead
justice and an escape from worse exc
cutions of the law and punitive ex-
petitions into the Baltic provinces and
elsewhere. Nevertheless the combined
committees, anxious to proclaim the
tenets of the party as not reaction
ary, drafted a Liberal manifesto which
will be issued tomorrow.
Baron Ferzen informed the Associ-
ated Press that this manifesto afffrms
loyalty to the emperor's manifesto OF
last October and encourages the Stoly-
pin program and policy insofar as they
are in the direction of Liberalism.

MISTAKEN FOR BOLD BURGLAR
Japanese Tries to Find Friend, but
j. Gets Into Wrong Room and Is
Captured

In the belief that Charles Davis was
attempting to rob Japanese rooming
house at 346 Wall street. Sergeant
Craig arrested the man this morning
about 1890 o'clock. Davis stated that
he was trying to find the room of his
partner who rooms at 33S Wall street
The house at 33S Wall street presents
almost exactly the same exterior as the
Japanese rooming house at 346 Wall.
According to the officer, Davis
knocked upon window of the rooming
house and then entered it, AS soon
as he got past the door five Japanese
leaped upon him and shouted for Il
policeman. Davis's partner was found
in corresponding room at 1888 Wall
street and his statement that he was
hunting for his friends room is given
some credence by the police. He was
taken to the station this morning, how
ever, and his record will be investi-
gated before he is released.

NON-PARTISANS
W|LLNAME GATES
POPULAR ATTORNEY AGREES
TO ACCEPT
Question Of Head Of independent
Ticket Finally Settled BY Exeou-
tive Committed and Rest Of
Ticket to Be Chosen

Lee c. Gates is agreed upon as the
non-partisan candidate for mayor of
Los Angeles and his name will be pre-
scnted by the executive committee to
the committee of one hundred dele
gates.
Mr.. Gates is a well known and popu-
lar attorney and lifelong Republican
who has become a leader in the move
ment against partisan politics In mu-
nicipal affairs.
At late hour last night the execu-
tive committee of the non-partisans Is
sued the following statement:
The executive committee of the nom
partisan city central committee will
recommend to the committee of one
hundred for nomination for mayor the
name of Lee C. Gates MIR. Gates has
agreed to accept the nomination and
to do his utmost to lead the forces of
good government to victory in the COM
ing contest.
Gates VIII Accept
Since the name of w. j. Washburn
has been so frequently and confidential
ly mentioned in connection with this
nomination It should be said that Mr.
Gates final decision to accept the NOM
ination was due quite as much to the
earnest representations of Mr.. WASH
burn and his closest friends as to those
of the partisan committee. From
the beginning of its deliberations the
non-partisan executive committee has
seriously considered two names-Wash-
burn and Gates. Neither of these gen.
tlemen desired the office, as the accept
ance of it involved serious personal
sacrifice. Largely through the influ-
ence of Mr.. Washburn and his friends,
backed by his own high ideals of the
duty a citizen owes to his city, Mr..
Gates has consented to accept the nom
nation.
1t is a peculiar triumph for the prin-
ciple of on-partisanship in municipal
affairs that its ticket should be headed
by one whose loyalty to Republican
principles in national affairs Is SO far
beyond question as is that of Mr..
Gates. RUSS AVERY,
Chairman.

Secretary
The remainder Of the non-partisan
city ticket is virtually agreed upon and
will be officially announced at an early
