BABY EMPEROR OF CHINA
ASCENDS DRAGON THRONE

Pekin December 2.-The strict
mourning which has been observed In
this city since the death a fortnight
ago of Emperor Kuang-Hsu and the
Dowager Empress of China, was sus-
pended long enough this morning to
permit the ascension to the dragon
throne of the baby Emperor Pu Vi, who
becomes ruler of the kingdom under
the name of Hsiuan Tung.
The ceremonies were brief, lasting
only half an hour. They were per-
formed by officials of the highest rank
and a number of coolies of the most
humble classes in the empire were
brought into the palace to act as wit
nesses.
Following the ceremony an imperial
edict proclaiming the ascension was
issued This communication contains
also a grant of amnesty. The date upon
which the new emperor will receive
the members of the diplomatic corps
will be fixed later.
The ceremony of enthronement was
one of striking interest. 1t included
obsequies to the tablets of the dead
emperor and empress, and prostrations

he did not desire to precipitate a hot
political campaign. believing that it
was necessary at this time that har-
mony should prevail in the political
factions of the city. subsequently, at
a mass meeting of his supporters called
for the purpose of protesting against
his withdrawal, Woodward re-entered
the race. reconsidering his former an
nouncement. and from that hour hard
campaign was waged between the Mad
dox and Woodward forces, bitter per
sonalities being injected and at times
the demonstrations on the streets be
ing such as To alarm the police depart

from the chief of police doubling the
force until after the election.

precautions of the police department at
times preventing clashes between the

The election passed off quietly. AT
this time tonight, with bands playing
patriotic airs, several thousand people
marched to the house of Mr. Maddox

TRIUMPH IN
HAYTI ANes ALEXIS HAS FLED
NeW Macy Yard Planned
For Point On Gulf Coast

Washington. December 2-9Special.)-
One of the most important matters pend
ing in the navy department is the estab-
1ishment of a new navy yard on the
gulf coast and among other points men
toned is Mobile, Ala. This is in anticipa-
ton of the completion of the Panama
canal, and it is a problem whether the
naval base and dock yard, to be one of
the largest in the country, will be formed
by the enlargement of one of the existing
naval stations or the creation of a new
yard.
Naval view does not favor the loca-
tion of a yard at New Orleans. There is
now station at Algiers, La. where there
is a floating dock. but there are diff
culties in the way of river currents which
seriously interfere with the easy and safe
approach and departure Of large ships
of war.
Some of the naval officers believe that
a great yard at Pensacola or Key West,
Fla, would be economical and efficient.
At the former place there is a navy yard.
and at the latter place there is coaling

Pittsburg, December 2.--What is ex-
pected to prove the most important con-
vention ever held by the American Min
ing congress convened in this city today
Men famous in the mining and business
world are present, while during the next
three days, cabinet officers, 16 governors,
senators, congressman and many state
Legislators are expected to participate
Considerable work was accomplished to-
day.
1t was shown that within so days Con-
gress will probably take steps to estab-
lish bureau of mines in the department
of the interior, a plan advanced to pro-
tect the public from mining frauds; that
renewed effort will be made to avoid the
great sacrifice of human life.
United States Senator Dick of Ohio and
Congressman Burke of Pittsburg, both
state that bureau of mines would soon
be a fact.
Delegates from a score of states made
addresses. At a session held tonight Dr.
James II. Douglass of New York spoke
on the mining industry as Influenced by
transportation. He was followed by Di-
rector George Otis Smith OF the United
States geological survey, whose topic was
'rhe Distribution of the Nation $
Wealth."
Presidenl-elect Taft las found il i'm
possible to attend the meeting. Instead
Mr.. Taft has notified the officers of the
congress that he will send a message to
the convention In which he will make
clear his views on the relations of the
government to the mining industries. The

Thomssvile Ca, December 2.-With an
interesting chain of circumstantial evil
dence completed during the three days
testimony, the prosecution in the Mitchell
Linton kidnapping case finished its evil
dence tonight. Summarized this evidence
is to the effect that Miss Linton's would
be abduetor was disguised as woman,
that she recognized the supposed woman S
voice as that of w. H Mitchell, the de-
fendant, and that Mitchell, during the
hours Immediately preceding the at
tempted kidnapping was seen at several Of
the points where the important lines Of
the romantic plot were being laid. These
points included the alleged sending of q
decoy telegram to Miss Linton and the
alleged purchase of female clothing re-
sembling that worn by the negro woman.
The defense began the calling OF wit
Eesses just before adjournment, but did
not attempt to develop important testi-
mony. One witness, a Moultrie, Ga, bar
Der, said he believed the man at Moultrle,
whom the states witness had identified
as Mitchell was stouter than the defen-
dant

DYNAMITE USED TO
SAVE PINE BLUFF
Maddox Beats Woodward
For Mayor OF Atlanta

Atlanta, December 2.-Robert T..
Maddox was elected mayor of Atlanta
today by majority of more than 5000
votes over James G. Woodward, regu-
lar democratic nominee and twice
mayor of the city. Maddox carried
every ward in the city except the Third
and the Fifth.
Thus ends the most unusual and ex-
citing campaign Atlanta has ever eX-
perienced. Although woodward was
declared the nominee of the democratic
party at the primary election held in
September, he did not receive the sup
port of the democratic organization in
the city, and many of those who sup
ported him in the primary cast their
ballots In today's election for Maddox,
who was proclaimed the citizens pomi-
nee at a popular mass meeting held on
November as a public protest against
alleged immoral conduct of Woodward
subsequent to his nomination at the
primary.
Atlanta's three daily newspapers took
up the fight of Maddox against Wood
ward, declaring it campaign for civic
virtue in Atlanta's official life. Wood
ward issued a public statement imme-
diately after Maddox was placed in the
race, Withdrawing and declaring that

Some of the officers are inclined to
favor the development of the station at
Guantanamo Cuba, as being best stu
ated for strategcal purposes. 1t is con-
sidered, however, that while Guantanamo
would be available for a dock yard and
supply station there would be every ad-
vantage in having another larger yard or

be reached by railway. which would rem

have TO be the case in maintaing a large
supply depot at Guantanamo.
The advisors of the Secretary Of me
Navy have been giving this subject care
ful attention and several reports have
been made. The question is an important
one in many ways and 1t is necessary to
consider large number Of conditions
and to operate also in connection with
the war department in the matter Of
adequate defense. Probably the project
will be presented to the consideration OF
Congress.

BROWNSVILLE MYSTERY
FAR FROM BEING SOLVED

Although the defense did not outline its
plans. it is generally expected that Nit
chelI will rely on an alibi.
One of the unusual features has been
the frankness with which Mitchell ad-
nlitted in statements previous to the trial,
some Of the purely circumstantial eVi-
denee against him. He has maintained
all the time that he could explain these
circumstantial incidents when given the
opportunity.
Testimony was given that w. Fl. Nit
chell, the defendant, was at Moultrie,
Ga, on the day the alleged false ines
sage about the injury to Miss Lucille
Lntons brother, which she claims in
duced her to make the trip during which
the attempted kidnapping occurred WAS
filed at Moultrie.
A Thomasville merchant testified that
prior to the kidnapping Mitchell purchased
frem him u shirtwaist resembling the one
identified at the trial as the waist worn
by the supposed negro woman, A hand
