Oriental Scholars Tell Young

Chinese Students Alliance Dele
gates Gather From All
Parts of Coast

Discourses on China, its resources
and the rewards in store for those OF
oriental nativity and occidental educa-
tion who take a hand in the awakening
of the empire were listened to for sew
eral hours yesterday by members Of the
Chinese students alliance at the meet
ing place OF the society in Stockton
street
Chinese Commissioner of Labor
LeOng Tin Chingqui and Dr. Ng Pung
Chew were the principal speakers The
speeches were nearly all in English-
More than 80 delegates from the vari-
Gus student societies on the Pacific
coast were present.
When I see China, by rights the
greatest empire in the world, with her
people occupying, one OF the lowliest
positions in the estimation OF the state,
her flag trailing in the mud and dust
while other nations gouge her and rob
her for their own ACKNOWLEDGMENT /
feel very, very sad" said Dr. Ng Pung
Chew.
But why do we occupy this posi-
tion2 1t is because we were blind to
our greatest opportunities when we had
them. Japan was awake. See the posi-
ton in the estimation OF the world she
now occupies
But who is to restore TO China the
proud, place in the world she once held
and deserves? Who is to open her rich
coal, silver and gold mines and develop
her unmatched resources? The young
men, The young men Of China are re-
sponsible for her future and I counsel
you 10 study and prepare TO redeem
your great nation"

Of Attorney W. W. Millett OF Reno.
New, yesterday. He was arrested at
the Majestic annex by Detective Tracey
on a warrant from Reno charging him

attorney in a suit in the justice of
the peace's court, brought by Ries TO

something to do with his arrest.

"Of course, I naturally regret this
unfortunate occurrence. would have
been in Reno again Monday, as my
wife and 1 were to return at that time
As matters now stand 1 shall be ready
to go back as soon IS any one Is ready
to take me. I am informed that that
is the reason for my being held at
this time. I don't want to say any
thing further. At present 1 don't feel
much like a criminal, regardless OF any
charges preferred against me. 1 am
going to see this thing through, and
all L care about after that is TO get
back to my wife. am sending her
home to my people today"
