CHANG KIM DENIES
ATTEMPTING SUICIDE

Chang Kim, who was brought over
from Kailua, Hawaii, week ago with
a cash in his throat and otherwise
injured, is rapidly getting better. He
denies in toto the report concerning his
accident mailed from Kailua the day
of the affair, which appeared in the
Advertiser. This was to the effect that
he had attempted to commit suicide.
Chang Kim gives an altogether differ
ent version, one which appears to be
much more reasonable to the many here
who have known him for years. His
story is that he received the wounds
through an attempt made to murder
him.
At Kailua, he states, he was assault
ed at dusk on the evening of his ar
rival, being struck down from behind
by someone, the identity of whom is
unknown to him. He was rendered I'M
conscious by a blow on the head and
when found by his friends, at whose
gateway he was assaulted, he was
bleeding from several wounds. His
watch, ring and pocket book were gone,
pointing to robbery as the motive for
the assault.
He will be out in a few days.

CONSUL LOSES
HIS LIBEL CASE
Jury Directed to Acquit the
Editor of a Chinese
Newspaper.

While Tseng Hal, the Chinese Consul,
lost his case in Judge De Bolt IS de-
partment of the Circuit Court yester-
day, he also received thorough vindi-
cation of any suspicion of being a fire.
quenter of gambling resorts, in Christ
ley Lane or elsewhere.
The Consul secured the indictment of
Chang Chalk Lai, editor of the Man
Sang Vat Pc, on a charge of criminal
libel for having published on March
2 last an article, which in referring
to an arrest of gamblers in Christley
Lane, observed that it was the same
place at which the Chinese Consul was
arrested with other gamblers at for
mer date.
Tseng Hal took this to be a refiec-
ton upon himself He interpreted it
as including himself among the ranks
of the gamblers. So the editor of the
Man Sang Vat Pc was formally in
dicted.
During the court proceedings yester-
day there was an echo of the ''irre-
pressible conflict between the Chinese
Reform Party and the supporters of the
present dynasty. With the exception
of Tseng Hal himself, all those who
took the stand gave as their opinions
that the article did not refer to the
present Chinese Consul, but to his
predecessor, Chang Tso Fan, who was
spectator at gambling game one
evening when the police dropped in.
ENEMY of Empire
Judge Lindsay, who with Attorney
Judd was counsel for the defense, ap-
peared as something of Chinese
scholar, but according to Tseng Hal
none of the lawyers were quite ready
| to read Confucius in the original.
| The Consul stated that he was not
preiudiced against Editor Chang Chak
| Lai. and then proceeded to declare in
emphatic terms that the defendant be-
longed to the class of Chinese who
would not be content until they saw
the ancient Empire of China editing
/ the DUST He insisted that it was
the design of the editor Of the Man
Sang Vat Pc to discredit all officials
of the Chinese government, whether
the charges could be justified or not.
H'This man is an enemy Of our En-
| pire,'' concluded the Consul.
Judge Lindsay moved Tor directed
verdict on the ground that the wit
nesses of the prosecution had declared
that the article did not refer to Consu
Tseng Hal, but to his predecessor.
Judge De Bolt stated that he though
the motion was justified, and according
ly instructed the jury to return a yer
dict of not guilty.
Judge De Bolt also remarked tina
Consul Tseng Hal S position in the com
munity was Of such excellent characte
that no one would think for a momen
that he was gambler or approved O.
games of chance in any form. Thes
sentiment were concurred in by the at
torneys for the defendant.

AFTER THREE THOUSAND YEARS.

Skates have been discovered near
Spandau, in Germany, which those com
petent to express an opinion attribute
to a period of three thousand years
ago. These skates were made from
bones of horses, figured and perforated
to attach to the sandal. Similar skates
have been found at Moorfelds, in Fins
bury. and like discoveries have been
made in Berlin in the bed of the Spree.
These and all similar discoveries. we
learn, enable the authorities to conclude
that the European ice area in prehis-
toric times extended from Great Britain
to Finland and from Norway to Hun

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec, 3.-More
than 400 strike-breakers imported
from Chicago are at work today In
the local railroad yards, according to
cials. They stated that before to-
morrow the places OF practically all
the strikers would be filled and the
moving of the freight will be re.
sumed.
Leaders of the striking switch
men, however, laugh at the state
ment that the strike is practically
broken, and apparently are conf
dent of victory. They declared that
comparatively few of their number
have returned to work and are maxi
ing every effort to combat the ef-
forts of the railroad officials to inn
port men to fill the places vacated
by the strikers.
AS a result of the importation OF
substitute switchmen, it Is deemed
probable that the dispute may be
carried to the courts
Mayor Lawler has been retained as
counsel for the strikers, and will
assume direct charge OF a legal cam
paign should IL be instituted.
Many of tn estrike-breakers have
been sworn I'm as special police to
protect the railroads interest The
strikers claim this procedure to be
in direct violation of state law
which prohibits non-residents from
serving as officers.
Lawler has brought the matter to
the attention of State Labor Com
missioner McEwen. The strike lea
ders have demanded that the local
authorities place under arrest every
nonresident employed In the local
yards who Is wearing special offl-
GERS badge.
Commissioner McEwan today held
a lengthy conference with Governor
Eberhardt, at which It said the
present problem was discussed.

Feeders Of Various Lengths Planned
in West Virginia.

HUNTINGTON. ". Va, July 26.-The
Virginia Railway Company is preparing
to construct a large number Of feeders
in the coal fields through which it passes.
Profile maps for several of these lines
have been filed with the county clerk of
Raleigh county and officials of the road
announce that work will begin at once.
The proposed lines have an aggregate
mileage of about twenty eight miles, all
Of which will be in Raleigh county ex-
cept part of the Devils Fork branch.
which will be partly In Wyoming These
roads and their approximate lengths are
as follows: Stone Coal branch, three
miles long: Laurel Fork extension of
Stone Coal branch, three miles long
Devils Fork branch six miles long; Up
per Stone Coal branch, two miles long;
Tommy Creek branch, four and three
quarters miles long: Piney Creek extern
sion of the Winding Gulf branch, eight
miles long.
This line will leave the Winding Gulf
branch at Pemberton and will parallel the
Raleigh and Southwestern for at least
two miles. the latter now having two
miles Of road on Piney creek in operation
above Pemberton. The Sullivan Coal and
Coke Company has mine in operation
at the present terminus OF the Raleigh
and Southwestern. The Winding Gulf
branch. beginning at Mullins and ending
at Pemberton, will have a mileage, ex-
elusive of the proposed branch lines. of
twenty-three miles. This, taken with
the lines now to be built, will give the
Virginia railway a total mileage Of more
than fifty miles above Mullins, traversing
laid with coal of an exceptionally fine
quality The Winding Gulf branch alone
is capable of making the Virginia a
great coal-carrying road. !.

Nine Hundred State Delegates Will
Probably 1ndorse Senator

The republican state convention of Ne

the tariff and the proposed income tax
amendment to the Constitution will be

Of the entire middle west on these i'm

The convention will be big one, more
than nine hundred delegates having been
chosen. The interest is SO intense that
few delegates are expected to be absent.
1t was Senator Brown Of Nebraska who
first proposed in Congress to amend the
Constitution by giving Congress power to
tax incomes. That this amendment will
be indorsed in the Nebraska convention
next Tuesday is very probable. Nebraska
has ranked for years as one of the PRO
gressive'' states and 1t was the first state
In the Union to indorse Taft for the
presidency.
Senator Burkett who is the senior sena-
tor from Nebraska, must go before the leg.
islature for reelection in two years. He
has been even more radical than his col
league in his opposition to the Aldrich
tariff rates and was one of the senators
who voted against the passage Of the bill
in the Senate. His action has been looked
upon as representative Of the feeling OF
hts constituents.
