on Thursday evening. She was seated
on a chair in the ambulance and was
covered with a shawl Her Slug haI

The nurses were sure they had q
woman with some peculiar ideas about
hesdgear To deal with. until DR.. Walker
discarded the shawl. Then they thought
they had a man. for DIT. Walker is a
living and walking attack upon the
theory that ladies' feet are tied on to

Marked Evidence of the Reform
Which Is Sweeping Over
Celestial Empire
LAWYERS COMING TO FRONT
Heretofore Their Profession Has Been
in Disrepute, But Commission Has
Recommended That More Enlisht-
ened Methods in Legal Procedure Be
Adopted in China.

Washington, July 26.-The marked
evidence of reform which is sweeping
China can be seen in the recommended
tion of the commissioners named by
the government to revise the code gov
erning Chinese legal procedure which
was recently submitted to the empress
GRAFTON. Revolutionary changes in the
legal procedure Of China are suggest
ed. These are right of trial by jury
and employment of attorneys for the
defense of criminals. Never in the his
tory of China has the practice OF
law been recognized as a reputable
profession. The study of law has been
frowned upon from time immemorial
and only recently have attorneys been
permitted to argue cases in courts and
this permission has been limited to
courts ir coast cities, where foreign
ers reside. Heretofore class of scribes
versed in legal phraseology has been
authorized to draw up petitions and
other legal documents, but these men
have not been lawyers in the broader
sense. From the re port of the COM
missioners. which has just been sub
mitted to the state department. it may
be seen Japan's action in bringing its
legal procedure into harmony with
European court methods has induced
the Chinese commissioners to sug-
gesi abolition of the present an
tique methods OF that empire fors the
methods in vogue among all western
nations

BODIES OIL MEN ILL.
Government Officials Come to Aid
Prosecutors,

Chicago, July 26.-The first tangible
information ON the future action of the
government in prosecuting the Stand
ard Oil Company regarding the illegal
granting of rebates by several railroads
running into Chicago, was revealed
yesterday by the arrival Of District At
torney Sullivan, who has been investi-
eating the oil inquiry in Cleveland, and
r. C.. NJ. SCHNEIDER, special agent of
the department of labor and commerce.
While none of the local government
attorneys would state definitely the
exact bearing the arrival of the other
officials has upon the investigation,
District Attorney Morrison admitted
that Attorney General Moody has de-
cided to bring every ounce of pressure
to bear to secure the ultimate convic-
ton of the oil and railway people, and
that Sullivan and SCHNEIDER have been
detailed to aid the Chicago attorneys
in the work.
Nothing could bode greater evil for
the oil trust than the advent of Agent
SCHNEIDER. OF all the men employed
by the government in the investigation
of the methods of the oil company and
the railroad corporations no one is
more conversant with the details and
evidence in the hands of the govern
ment than Mr.. SCHNEIDER.
SCHNEIDER Has New Evidence.
For some time he was detailed as
the special aid of Commissioner Car
field and went thoroughly over all the
details of the case. 1t was intimated
by a government official yesterday
that Mr.. SCHNEIDER has additional evil
dence, collected some time ago, which
has never come to the attention OF the
local attorneys and that 1t will be put
into shape to use against the corpora
tions. Whether this evidence includes
information concerning the methods at
the plant of the Standard Oil Com
pany at Hammond, Ind, the official re-
fused to state, but added that the evil
dence probably is the most direct and
far reaching of any of the information
that has been gathered for the Chica-
go hearing.
The statement that Attorney Cen
eral Moody is concentrating all the
strength of the government legal de-
partment on the Chicago end of the
case was borne out by the fact that
at present there are five government
officials in the city, every one of whom
is thoroughly acquainted with the sit
uation. In addition to Attorney Sui
livan and Agent SCHNEIDER, Assistant
Attorney General Pagin also is in Chi
cago, and has been closeted with Dis
trict Attorney Morrison and Assistant
District Attorney Hanchett for the
greater part Of three days Attorney
Pagin came to Chicago after being
present at the Cleveland hearing, and
brought with him evidence that may be
turned to good use in Chicago

SUGAR TRUST INQUIRY.

New York July 28.-The federal
grand jury yesterday began the inves-

trust has been granted secret rebates
by the railroads. This investigation is
in line with the promise contained in
President Roosevelt's message to con-
gress.

long expected attack on the sugar
trust was under way came when w,

taken before Judge Hough in the I'm

Crisfeld, Nd, July 26.-William Lee
the colored youth who was sentenced
to death in Baltimore three weeks agos
for assaulting two women in Somer-
set county, and who has been threaten
ed with lynching, was hanged by Sher-
iff Brown today on Smiths island, in
the presence Of deputies and few Wit-
nesses. The hanging was orderly. The
mob that threatened to burn Lee at the
stake was completely outwitted by the
sheriff.
Lees crime created unprecedented
excitement thruout the eastern coun.
ties of Maryland. For weeks popular
fury was such that Governor Warfieid
deemed it prudent to have him cons
fined in the Baltimore Jail as a protec-
ton from mob violence. AS further
precaution. tho it was necessary to
carry out the sentence Of the law in
Somerset county, the scene Of the
crime, the exact place Of execution was
kept secret, even from those who
were to accompany the sheriff and cul-
prit as deputies and witnesses. To
carry out his purpose the sheriff ap-
peared in Baltimore late yesterday and
placed the prisoner aboard steamer
of the Maryland oyster navy and inn
mediately sailed down the bay. He
took with him gallows which had
been borrowed in Baltimore Sunday,
also coffin, and was prepared to hang
Lee on the deck Of the vessel after
reaching the waters of Somerset couL-
ty should there be any signs of mob
on shore.
At an early hour this morning the
steamer appeared off Smiths Island,
the prisoner was speedily taken ashore
and the scaffold quickly erected by ~
carpenter vino had been brought from
Baltim ore for that purpose. The cul-
prit, accompanied by spiritual ai~
visor. was led up to the scaffold, the
moose adjusted, and the execution was
quickly over.
Lee confessed his crime.
