tBy Morning Journal sDeusar Leased wirel

New York, Jan. 12.-The Chinese
Reform association here received a
lengthy cipher cablegram today from
Hong Kong, confirming the statement
that the late emperor Of China had
met an unnatural death. The dis
patch states that before the late EN-
press dowager's death the question of
choosing an heir presumptive was
pending
Yuan Shi kai strongly urged the
dowager empress to select the eldest
son OF Prince Ching, but she refused
This and the impending death of the
dowager empress led Yuan Shi Kai to
believe that Emperor Kwang Hau
would soon regain his power and deal
summarily with those who had sub
ordinated him To the empress dow
ager- The dispatch states that a Chi
nese physician a native of the prov
ince Of Fukin, was thereupon COM
manded to put the emperor out OF the
way. The plot was carried out and
has since been revealed by one of the
named Ching Sa Zen, who
escaped TO Japan.
The foregoing dispatches and other
cipher information received by the
Chinese Reform association has led
them to become active and a number
Of cable dispatches have been for
warded by them to Prince Chun, Min
ister Rockhill and the Chinese minis
ter of war Tho dispatch to Prince
Chun asserts that the emperor was
poisoned through treachery and asks
for the summary execution of the re-
sponsible parties. warning him that
otherwise the people viii hold him re-
sponsihle aud wiz revolt. The dis
patch to Minisic' khill expresses
qualification at NE dismissal OF Yuan
Shi Kai, ana asks him to have Prince
Shun make public to the world the
charges against yuan Shi Kai. The
dispatch to the minister of war asks
him to memorializc the throne for
action against those respon-
'ible for the emperors death, warn
ing him of popular uprising unless
action is taken.

SAYS ANDERSON
Carpenter RefuteS Charges in
Divorce Complaint and
Makes Some Himself.

Andrew G. Anderson, in an answer
filed Friday in the district court to the
divorce suit entered by his wife, Emily
o. Anderson. denies the allegations
made by the wife that he is an habit
ual drunkard and that she has been
subjected to cruel treatment.
Anderson intimates that the places
occupied by the parties to the suit
should be reversed, saying that his
wife has been frequently intoxicated
and that she has attacked him and
otherwise cruelty used him.
He alleges that there is no truth in
the statement made by his wife that
he struck her with his fists and chair
on July 81. He says Mrs. Anderson
came home under the influence of
liquor on that occasion and threw a
glass shade at him, and that he pro-
cured chair to protect himself The

drank a great deal for several years.

that on one occasion, when there was
trouble in the house, his wife chased
him into the cellar and he had to nail
the door shut on the Inside for his own
protection. He also says he has been
compelled to sleep in the cellar.

cat, be still and listen. You are sup

welfare Do you do it? You do not.
Henceforth catch, trap, earn your
keep"
The cat gave a stretchy gesture and
licked her chops. Then she staIked from
the room.
she has gone forth to catch mice"
said the officer complacently, and later
on he followed to see the result Of his
hypnotic efforts.
But she had done more. Four gold
fish and one tad9Ole in the aquarium
and two canary birds were dead at her
claws
Awake CHER the sheriff. Then he
remembered that in his instructions he
had forgotten to tell her just what she
should catch.
