Shanghai, FeD. l'.r ooiAAe
fused reports have reached mere q
massacre Of missionaries at Nancnans,
province Of Kiangsi. As nearly as
can be ascertained, six missionaries
were killed and one child Of an En-
glish missionary was wounded.
II is alleged that after a long con
tinued dispute between the Catnoiic'
priests and the Chinese magistrate Of
| Nanchang, the priests invited the mag
/ iatrate to a banquet whore they tried
to compel him to sign an agreement
for the payment Of large indemnity
for the destruction Of Catholic mission
property. According to one report, the
magistrate became indignant and COM
mitted suicide, but the Chinese assert
that a priest attacked and killed MN,
The oficials, fearing to arrest tne
priest, called a public meeting where
upon the Catholics, according to me
Chinese version Of the trouble, set nre
| to their own premises. The public
meeting Of the Chinese developed into
} a riot in which, according to one story,
! six Of the Catholics were killed, though
a later account says the number OF
! Catholics killed was four. H. c. King
D man, Protestant missionary and his
: wife also were killed and one OF their
two children was wounded, the other
being rescued. The only Protestant
mission buildings destroyed were those

RIVERSIDE, April 24.-A little
shake-up occurred in the local police
force when e. J. Barrett resigned as
deputy marshal and went back to night
police duty. Gus Habaerlin was made
deputy in his stead and j. A. Van
kirk was appointed special officer.

ard Pythiahs $1O0 each and other or
ganizations are preparing to make lib

At the meeting of the Present Day
club County Superintendent Hyatt re-
lated his earthquake observations and
experiences in Lakeport, Santa Rosa,
San Francisco, Stanford and San Jose.
He discussed the scientific phases Of
the earthquake phenomenon and rela-
ted numerous humorous and touching
incidents that came under his observa-
tion in the north.
The owens river project was the
theme assigned for discussion after the
regular monthly banquet of the club
to the surface to be ignored. The
Owens river scheme was discussed by
Mr.. Hyatt. F. e. Densmore and F.
Cuttle Mr. Densmore was born and
spent the greater part of his life in
the Owens river valley, and gave the
cheering information that there Is am
pie water in the valley for both the
settlers there and Los Angeles. He
believed. however, that the water
should be used only for domestic use
and that no attempt should be made
to spread the water over the county
of Los Angeles for irrigation purposes.
He thought 10000 inches of water could
be well spared from the Owens valley.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. April 24.-The
authorship of Whats the matter with
Kansas?" is becoming as complicated
as Laugh and the world laughs with
you" or the Baconian theory of Shake
speare, for Representative Curtis of
Kansas has charged that William Allen
White did not write it.
Mr.. Curtis in an open letter addressed
to Mr. White, who criticised him edf-
torially for his position on the five
civilized tribes bill. casts doubt on the
authorship of what the matter with
Kansas?"
In this letter Mr.. Curtis intimates
that the famous editorial which at
tracted so much attention was really
written by Topeka lawyer and that
all Mr.. White had to do with it was
to print it in his newspaper, the EN-
poria Gazette.
Possibly the packers never explained

that If the people of Pasadena desire
this annexation all of the work must
not be left to the residents of the east

celebrated the golden wedding anniver;
sary of Rev. and Mrs. John Henry

half a century and with his bride have
multltudes of friends all over Southern
California. During the afternoon an
informal reception was held at the
home of Rev. and Mrs. Douglas at 637
North Raymond avenue, but when
evening came the crowd was too great
for the house and an adjournment was
taken to the Friends church and the
reception continued there. AT s p. IN.
Rev. Harry r. Keates opened brief
exercises which included the reading
of the minutes Of the Dover. o., yearly
meeting, stating that John Henry
Douglas and Miriam Carter had in
formed the meeting that it was their
the appointment of a committee to see
that there were no reasons to forbid
the marriage and then goes on to tell
of the marriage. The original certi-
ficate was shown and a number of
reminiscent speeches made. Guests
were present from Los Angeles, Long
Beach, Whittier and a number of points
in the east and the occasion was a
memorable one.
Struck by Santa Fe Train
Joseph Kennedy. assistant agent for
the Santa Fe railroad at Arcadia, was
killed by Santa Fe train some time
this morning, his body being hurled
into an adjoining field and so buried in
the high grass that it was found with
difficulty. There is some doubt as to
the exact manner in which the accident
occurred. no one apparently having
seen it, but the marks on the body, its
location and the signs of blood along
the ground indicate that Kennedy must
lave been walking on the track when
overtaken by the train. Coroner Stout
will hold an inquest at the undertake
ing rooms of Ives & Warren in this
city tomorrow at 10 a. m. The mother
of the deceased lives at Sierra Madre

at the Southern Pacific crossing near
Wilmington last night at $50. j. A.
Kilborn, driver of a dray wagon for

going to the salt works, about four

track the Catalina Southern Pacific
train struck the wagon, completely de-
molishing it. Kilborn was thrown to
the ground with great force. The train
was in charge of Engineer Millsap and

SAN PEDRO, April 24-The bay is
being dragged today for the body of
James Shirley. the eleven-year-old son
OF Gay Shirley chief engineer of the
steamer Samoa, at present lying in the
harbor
Yesterday noon James was amusing
himself fishing from the deck of the
Samoa, when the gong was rung for
dinner. All on board went to the meal,
leaving the little fellow at his play,
as he was accustomed to eat at the
second table. Ten minutes later, when
the father appeared on the deck, the
boy was gone. The fish line had been
drawn up and was lying on the deck.
The father paid little attention to the
occurrence, thinking the little fellow
had gone below. When the cook be-
gan looking for him little later the
child could not be found. Search on
the boat and ashore was without avail
Dragging the bay proved equally un-
successful. An officer of the city thinks
he saw the lad last night after the cur
few bell had rung.
Lost Home in Fire
The incident is particularly sad be-
cause of the fact that the engineers S
home was destroyed in San Francisco
in the recent trouble.
The lad is described as large for his
age, eleven years. He wore a suit of
dark gray clothes with knee pants, and
double breasted coat. He wore a black
cap with white dots on it. His eyes are

May Abandon Plan

question of annexation. Shall the en-

obstacles which the administration is

Questions which will be discussed.
Those having the petitions for annexa-
