DISTINGUISHED LEADERS

The recent visit OF the Chinese imper-
ial commissions 10 this country has
brought out the fact that there is
definite relationship between the reform
movement IN that country and certain
manifestations Of interest in this coun-
try
About two years ago there was much
int est in this country in the effort Of
CT ese refOrmers 10 enlist American
offers for the Chinese imperial army
Gen. r. A. Falkenburg. OF San Fran
cisco. was at the head Of the move
ment. which was widely exploited by
Gen. Edwin r English. Of Yankton.
General English Travelled consicera bly,
about the country, conferring commits
sions on young and progressive Ameri-
cans.
Many contracts were made, but moth
ing came Of them. The Americans were
not summoned to the Chinese service,
and the impression became general that
The whole movement had been a failure
Forming the Order.
Following this military enterprise.
the 'Sinim Order OF the Dragon was
formed. and many Of the men who
had been enlisted for the Chinese mill
tary service were taken into il
This order of the Dragon represented
Itself as having highly benevolent pur-
pose. Its officers have within a fort
night sent out little booklet setting
forth its principles. which declares that
its purpose is the regeneration and re-
organization Of China: that the organi-
zau IN desires the open door and depre-
Gates the boycott on American goods

knowledged 10 be the greatest writer

few copies of this document have
been received in Washington by men
who have been members of the Sinim
order OF the Dragon These did not
take the matter very seriously. until
when, a few weeks ago. the Chinese
lmperlal commissioners came here.
With them was Col. Chan Chez, superin-
tendent OF the great modern Chinese
military academy at Hunan-the West
Point of China.
Colonel Chez Confirms Story.
To him went one Of the Americans
who have been initiated into the Order
Of the Dragon. and asked him the real
meaning Of these movements. Colonel
Chez greeted him as a brother: assured
him that the Sinim Order Of the
Dragon basked in the most grateful
sunshine Of imperial approval; de-
Clared that 1T was one OF the means
through which the authorities of
China are endeavOring TO make them
selves and their aspirations understood
by the American people. Colonel Chan
not only admitted entire familiarity
with the work Of General Falkenburg
at San Francisco. but volunteered that
the stories are entirely true which rep

for the greatest usefulness to their

TO COUNTRY CLUB
Tracks of City Railway Are to
Be Extended.
This Was Decided at the Annual
Meeting.
TWO NEW DIRECTORS.
They Are W. A. L. Thompson

by the Board.
WO NEW DIRECTORS.


The directors of the Topeka Street
Railway company in session Friday al
ternoon authorized the construction of
1900 feet of track, extending the ouin-
ton Heights car line to the grounds of
the country club, formerly the Guilford
Dudley tract
The construction of this half mile of
track viii be the only new work to be
done by the company this year. I'VE
don't know exactly when the work will
be commenced said Frank Kelly, sec
rotary and treasurer of the COMPANY.
The work however has been authorized
ana the construction will be pushed"
The members of the new Topeka
country club have been very anxious
to secure suitable means of transporta-
ton to the grounds and have been
building hopes on the belief that the
street railway would in time extend
their line. This assurance, now given,
will be hailed with considerable salts
faction.
Two vacancies in the directorate
caused by the death of G. J. Devlin and
E. W. Wilder were filled BY the election
of J. E. Hurley and W A L. Thomp-
son. But six out of the eleven directors
were present; those participating were
as follows: J. r. Mulvane, Joab Null
vane, Thomas Page, E. W. Wilson, L.
z. Myers, B. L. Sunny. Tie remaining
directors are W. H. Holmes of Kansas
City. c. S. Gleed, NJ. a. Low, together
with the two newly elected.
The officers of the company were all
reelected: E. w. Wilson, president:
L. E. Myers, vice president; B. E.
Sunny, chairman of the executive com
mittee and Frank Kelley. secretary ard
treasurer. In addition to these various
elections, Thomas Page was placed
upon the executive comE7ittee.
Every line in town shows an increase
in earnings for last year over the year
before said L. e. Myers, vice presi-
dent. THE increase is not large by any
means, but indicates a substantial and
solid, not boom, growth of the city"

O'BRIEN DENIES THE STORY.
Big Fighter Says He Is Not Matched

Big Fighter Says He Is Not Matched
to Box RuhIin..
Boston, Mass, Jan. Slack O'Brien
dapper as ever and looking the picture
of health, denies the story out of New
York that he has been matched to box
Gus Rubin March 1 before the Tuxedo
club near Philadelphia. Jack is filling
an engagement here with a burlesque
company and is meeting with great
success, the theater being packed to
suffocation at every performance. What
pleases Jack most of all is the fact that
the announcements at each perform
ance that he is the real champion of the
world is being taken to kindly by, the
crowds.
1T is a mistake to announce that 1
have been matched with Gus Rubin
or anyone else, for have not he said
1.-The Tuxedo club has no authority to
send out anything like that and I do
not remember that anyone ever men
toned Ruhlin's name to me since 1
have been in the east
Last Sunday in Philadelphia I was
approached about d fight at the Tuxedo
club I said then I did not care who it
was that was secured for me as long as
it was a man of good drawing strength,
for 1 did not intend to make many more
fights ard wanted all of them from this
was all that was said and I intended
that it should take in the whole world of
fighters, including Rubin if the pro-
meters think so we'll of him as that.
4 am not going to express any opin-
ion of Rubin either as a fighter or a
drawing attraction. If the club promOt-
ers want to gamble with such a contest
they can do so, but it would be well
for them to consult me first and see
what 4 think of it.

AUTO OWNERS PROTEST.
New Federal License Idea Stirs Up
National Body Clubs.

New York. Jan. 6.-AutomObilists are
naturally up in arms over the federal
license bill introduced in congress by
Edward Morrell of Philadelphia, which
is ostensibIy for the purpose of regulat-
ing interstate automobile travel, but
which has a number of provisions that
have raised a storm of protest from
motor car owners
The bill provides that the tourist must
take out q federal license after paying
$50 for the privilege of being examined
by a technical expert. Moreover, its
peculiar wording says that any person
violating the act shall be deprived of
his license and violation of the act is
to operate machine in interstate travel
without a license.
It is the general opinion that sufficient
pressure will be brought to bear by the
American Automobile association, the
national governing body, to kill this
measure.
The very idea of a federal license is
not altogether distasteful to many
drivers Of motor cars. There are those
who think that a national registration
of a motor car might decrease the num-
Der of placards bearing state numbers
that automobiles are now required to
carry.
The hope of all is that some agree
ment may be reached by which the
number used in one state will be recOg-
nized in the other state.
