PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 11.-Declar-
ing that the youth of China, the younger
and more progressive element in the ma
ion. woul in a great revolution over
throw the present dynasty, Rev. william
Christie, a missionary at the Christian
and Missionary alliance stated that great
disturbances were about due in the celeste
empire, and also that a war with Japan
was in contemplation.
Mr.. Christie said:
"The object of the evolutionary move
ment is the overthrow OF the present
dynasty which is hated for it's conserva-
tism and feared for its power. During the
last year there have been three abortive
attempts, as the time for the movement
was not ripe. The present unrest is being
fostered by the student element, who,
having gained education abroad, are urging
their less fortunate countrymen in de-
cisive action for their rights. The move
ment will eventually succeed"
In regard to China's attitude TO japan
he said:
China is not afraid OF Japan. III gov
eminent is working night and day in the
training of men for the wal with the
Japanese that eventually will come. AL
this talk of consolidation between Japan
and China In the event Of another war witt
the western nations is ridiculous"

The plan is to circulate for signature by
the electors throughout the state docu-

Money from Pittsburg

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 11-That Mrs
Allen f. Read. the Denver woman who
on Monday last attempted to extort S2o,OO
from Mrs. Genevieve Chandler Phipps, the
wealthy society leader, threatening de-
struction by dynamite to her and her
child. Helen, unless she complied with the
demand, will have the support of her
husband and friends in this city should II
become necessary to defend her act in
the criminal courts, is evident from the
efforts already under way to trace through
/ detective agencies her wanderings since
I leaving Buffalo Park, Colo, three weeks
ago to attend the funeral of her father at
Pittsfield, Mass.
That she will not be allowed to so free
without IL being proved that she acted from
an insane impulse at a time when she was
entirely un~accountRble to herself or to
others, is just as evident from steps taken
by Mrs. Phipps' divorced husband. Law
renee C. Phipps, the Pittsburg millionaire
who, late last night, had his attorney,
Gerald Hughes, request the police authori-
ties to re-arrest Mrs. Read and hold her
pending further investigation Of the at
tempt at blackmail.
1t is believed by Mrs. Reads friends,
that Mrs. Read met some woman while
returning west who took advantage OF her
weakened condition, aggravated by the use
OF drugs to alleviate pain, and prevailed
upon her to enter into a plot to blackmall
Mrs. Phipps.
AS evidence that Mrs. Read has become
the tool of someone it is stated that dia-
monds and rubies valued at $500 and bank
notes to the amount Of $500 that she is said
to have had when she left Pittsfield, are
missing.
PITTSFIELD, Mass, Nov. lit de-
veloped today that Mrs. Allen F. Read, who
is under arrest in Denver for attempting
to extort money from Mrs. Genevieve
Chandler Phipps, is the daughter of the
late George Campbell of this city. Up to
about four years ago, when she and Allen
f. Read were married. she was a nurse in
this city and she left the House of Mercy
Training School for Nurses to go west
with Mr.. Read. The husband was a drug
