DOWAGER EMPRESS
AGAINST AGITATION
Tells Chinese to Quit Holding
Public Meetings

PEKIN, China, Des. 27.-The DOW
ager empress has given verbal Or
ders to the interior department and
police to suppress all public meet
ings in Pekin. There is reason to be-
lieye the order will be extended to
the provinces. Popular agitation along
lines of rights is growing in pne-
nomenal manner
The question of provincial as
against federal sovereignty enters
largely into the matter. For a month
past the government has been receiv.
ing kilograms in increasing numbers
expressing the desire of the senders
that the rights which have been alien
ated from them by foreigners be re
stored 70 the Chinese The movement
has reached such magnitude that the
government is thoroughly alarmed,
and today is striving TO effect concil-
iatory session between the revoIuuon
airy agitators and those who conslG,
ed themselves aggrieyed.
The pressure of the British govern
ment is strengthening the position OF
Yuan Shat Kai, whose security and
Influence are regarded by foreigners
as essential to the safety ana plo-
gress of China. It is declared that
the foreign agitation in the matter OF
the attitude adopted by Japan in re
gard to Manchuria, and the warning
of Russia concerning the annulment
of the telegraph convention, have led
the British foreign office to take &C
ton and it is understood that this
has been in the form OF representa-,
Yfors IN the Toxic government
France has consented to revision o.
the Tonking convention In regard tc
land telegraphs.

Mrs. Smalley Also De-
MES QuIrk'S Charges
on Girls Home.

In order TO refute all charges made
against It by outsiders, the Salvation
Army officials in this city have notified
the central offices of their organization
in New York that they are being as
sailed In Washington.
AS a result of this notification, the Ie-
gal department OF the Salvation Army in
New York takes up the cudgels in de-
tense Of the organization in public
statement, saying that every member Of
the order, from the highest TO the low
est, practices seIf-denial for the cause
Of charity and religion. The department
also brands as absolutely without foun-
dation any charges Of misnanagement
or other Objectionable conduct made
against the Salvation Army or it's mem
bers. It is further asserted that the or
ganization's accounts are periodically
audited by public accountants
On the other hand. Mrs. Marian Small
Icy. the local head Of the American SAL
walton Army here. denies absolutely the
charges of AdJutant Quirk, of the Sal
walton Army, that the Girls Home con-
Quoted by Mrs Smalley is a fake" In
support Of her denial, she today showed
nome, where there were three people
being supported by Mrs. SmaIley's Or
ganization.
Mrs. Smalley was grieved and indig-
nant that such a charge should have
been made against her and her organiZa-
ton by the officials OF the Salvation
Army.
