CHINESE REBELLION
CROWS GREATER

VICTORIA. B. c.. Jan. THE revo-
luton in Central China has assumed
formidable proportions, according to
advices received today by the steamship
Empress of Japan. Sun Vat Sen, hero
of the Chinese Legation in London
when the British Government prevented
his arrest by the Chinese ambassador,
is said to be at the head of the revo-
luton.
Missionaries, traders and Germans
employed at the Ping Hang coal mines
have all fed to Shanghai, where Ameri-
can, British, German and Japanese gun
boats were sent. The rebel strength is
placed at 10000. The revolution is
anti-dynastic and not aimed against
foreigners.
The Chinese Government is moving
troops from the three provinces to the
scene. The United States gunboat
Helena, the English warships Cadmus
and Teal the German gunboat Vor-
waerts and the Japanese gunboats Flu
shimi and Sumida have proceeded to
Changsha.

The Geheimness handicap at six fur
longs will be the feature Of today s
card al the Emeryville race track Five
classy sprinters have been entered for
the race. Van Ness has been running
consistently and, being in rare form,
should about win. Hector is a good
mudder and looks like a keen contend
er. Miller probably will ride Van Ness.
Mary is in with the weight she likes
and is dangerous Ocean Shores last
race was poor, after a long series of
good ones Miss Oficious is evidently
slow beginner and probably would
prefer a route.
The sixth race is the only other
event on the card with any pretension
to class. Boloman looks best of the
five entries. Graphite has been running
in greatly improved form and will be
a sharp contender. Mandator, great
mudder, is expected to improve on his
last effort, when he had speed, but APP
parently was not up to a bruising race.
The opener presents a perplexing
aspect. Ella True. Coco, Gala and
Sachet all look to have a good chance.
Ella True is speedy, but has been quit
ting at five furlongs Gala is improv-
ing and may win. Saehet probably
will improve on her last race, when
she was handicapped by being taken
through the worst going.
Peerless Lass is the best of the half
dozen entered for the second race at
five and half furlongs, and will win
if little Eddie Dugan gives her a fair
ride. Lugano probably will be the
contender. Duke of Orleans may be
expected to improve and is likely to
get a piece of the money.
Monte Lucille and Petit Due prob
ably will be lighting it out in the
third, over the Futurity course Titus
ii is In good shape. but may not like
the sticky going that Will be likely to
prevail Angelica has an outside
chance, as have Roscoe and DR.. Sher-
man.
Neptunus looks able TO win the fifth
II Thurston does no more than sit still.
Andrew Mack won his last race in
gallop, after being left at the post and
is the dangerous horse in the race.
Miss May Bowdish and Infammable
look best of the others

Arrangements viii Be
Made to Apportion
the Floor Space

The board of directors of the Auto
mobile Dealers Association of Califor-
MIA will hold a meeting at noon today.
1t is merely a business meeting to re-
ceive the reports of the outstanding
committees. Up to the present time
the committee has had little time to
lit believes that today it will be able
to make full report.
The most important business of the
meeting will be the consideration of
plans for the show. The building has
will have to pass upon the question of
the cost of floor space and how the al
lotment for the different locations
shall be made. The latter problem is
important, as every one will be desir-
Gus of obtaining the advantage. II
has been suggested that the different
dealers draw for choice OF position.
The scare of the possibility of a
strike on the railroad has been swept
away and there will be no reason for
holding back the show at the present
time. The majority of the local deal
erS will be able to get their show cars
out IN time. In fact. there Will De but
a very few that will not be able TO get
out full line
The California Association of Chauf-
feurs held its first annual meeting last

ants. 1t was an enjoyable affair. Many
of the prominent professional drivers
were present and addressed the meet
ing.

TOBACCO DEALERS
LOSE ACTION

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE case of
G. Falk & Bro. of New York, inn
porters of tobacco. versus the United
States was decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States today ia
vorably to the Government.
The point at issue was the question
whether tobacco should pay duty when
received at the bonded warehouses or
when sent from them, the weight being
less at the latter than at the former
period, with a corresponding reduction
of the amount required to meet the de-
mands of the revenue officials.
The court held that payment should
be upon entrance, thus sustaining the
New York Collector of Customs. The
opinion was by Justice McKenna. e
