WOULD-BE CHINESE
KING PUT TO DEATH

Pekin.-A remarkable story of the
tragic fate of youthful pretender
to the Dragon throne and a large
number of his followers comes
through missionary channels from
distant Yunnan province.
Under the influence of Taoist
priests a prosperous member of the
country gentry named Chu concev-
ed the conviction that he himself
was a descendant of the Chus Ming
emperors and his son, aged II years,
the rightful occupant of the throne.
He rallied the clansmen and his
neighbors to the number of upward
of 1000 men, variously armed with
old guns, bows and spears. With the
pretender at their head, this insur-
gent army marched upon Yunnan Flu,
the provincial capital, preaching an
anti-Manchu crusade.
Near Yunnan Flu, a detachment of
the viceroy's modern troops overlook,
attacked and routed the insurgents.
Several hundred of them are report
cd killed and wounded. All the men,
bers of the Chu family were prompt
ly slaughtered by the viceroy's orders.
The youthful claimant, whose head
was so lately adorned by the hale of
the Son of Heaven was after his exc
cution, paraded through the province
in cage as an exhibit and warning
to all questioners of authority in
Manchu.

ANTT-SUFFRAGISTS
WILL INVADE ENGLAND

Boston.-The proposed invasion OF
England by Massachusetts, women
anti-suffragists is the latest plan OF
the crusaders. England is sending
over hundreds of suffragettes to
preach the gospel of "votes for wo-
men" to America.
To offset this the women of Mas
sachusetts have started an exodus of
anti-suffragists to England to try to
overthrow the work of the suffra-
gettes there. "The Massachusetts
association opposed to the further ex-
tension of suffrage to women" is the
title of this organization. The new
anti-suffrage society is composed of
leading Boston society and literary
women and numbers in its ranks such
names as Mrs. A, ]. George, Mrs. G.
Rowland Shaw, the president; Mrs.
j. R. Coolidge, Miss Anna L. Dawes,
Mrs. Charles e. Guild, Mrs. Charles
d. Homans, Mrs. Henry NJ. Whitney,
Miss Agnes Irwin, ex-dean of Rad
cliffe. and hosts of others equally as
we'll known.

DISCUSS PLANS FOR
SAVING THE BABIES

Baltimore, Md.-Plans to preven,
the modern slaughter of the inno-
cents by instructing people of the
United States in the proper care that
should be given babies, are being for
mulated by the Academy of Medi-
cine.
AS an initial step in the movement
a conference is to be held in New
Haven next November, at which
leading physicians and educators
from all parts of the country will join
forces in a study of the problem. II
is suggested that first of all the
sources of each city's milk supply
may be investigated for the sake Of
the baby's health, and the sanitary
inspection OF tenements by health
officers and visiting nurses may also
be placed under the ban.
In going over the infant death rate
of the country 1t is found that Chi
cago is the second city in this respect,
The city has record of 1881 deaths
OF babies under two years old out or
a total mortality Of S2,19S deaths Of
all ages,

MILLIONS OF ACRES
OPEN IN NORTHWEST

Washington.-The census bureau
has just issued a bulletin containing
statistics on the resources, population
and extent of progress of all the
states and territories of the country.
Although there is much complaint
heard from time to time as to the
vast amount of land in the state of
Washington which is reserved by the
federal government as forest and 9TH
er reservations, it is shown by this
volume that in 1908 there still re-
mained in the state 100000 acres of
land which is neither reserved nor
claimed by any one for any use what
ever. There are 36S,000,000 acres of
such land in Alaska.
A section of the publication devot-
ed to irrigation will show the reader
what an immense amount of help the
federal government is extending to
the state of Washington in reclaiming
its arid lands. There are four prin-
cipal irrigation projects under con-
struction by the government in
Washington which, when completed,
will represent an expediture of ap-
proximately $10,OO0,OOO, apportioned
as follows: Okanogan project, 5000
acres, $53O,0OO; Sunnyside project,
$500 acres, s2,SOO,OOO; Tieton pro-
ject, 10000 acres, s1,SOO,OOO; Wapato
project, 10000 acres, sS,6OO,OOO.
There are 100000 acres of land
ia Washington set aside as Indian res
ervations. There were, last year, s.
$50 Indian residents of the state.
In 1907, according to this statisti-
cal table, there were 1SS,9S9 chill
dren enrolled in the public schools of
the state, an increase of 5000 over
the previous year. The sum of s.
100000 was paid to the 620S teachers
of the state dring that year.
Another table shows that in 1908
there were 10,761 pensioners in
the state of Washington. The federal
government pays to these veterans or
the families of veterans, $1,651,313
every year. WALTER E. CLARK.

OPPOSE PAYING
EXTRA ON CASH FARES

Detroit wholesalers will fight the bill
now being talked of In Lansing by
which the railroads would be permitted
TO charge an extra amount on all cash
fares. This would affect the traYel.
ing statesmen more than any other
class OF passengers and thus directly
injure the Wholesalers.
The principal speakers al the asso-
citation luncheon, Wednesday, was F.
b. Johnson, engineer for Fairbanks,
Morse & Co, who discussed the prob.
lem OF fire protection for high build
ings. His opinion was that high-press-
ure tanks located in Easements furnish
a more satisfactory auxiliary protec-
ton than huge, dangerous tanks placed
upon roofs.
In New York, he stated. there are
53S buildings which are partially above
the fire protection line. and these have
forced the making OF many expert
ments, electric motors and centrifugal
pumps furnishing the power for driv-
ing water to their upper stories. De-
troit is a great water consumer. &C.
cording TO his statistics, the consump'
ton being $50 gallons per capita daily
which is exceeded only by four other
American cities.
