Upton ANXIOUS
FOR A RACE
But does Not Want TO Have to Build
Racer Of the Specified
Type.

LONDON, June 22.-sir Thomas
Upton, despite his turning down by
the New York Yacht club to his chal-
lenge for Americans, has not aban-
doned the hope Of being able to send
over challenger acceptable to the
club. H. Westwood, private secretary
of Lipton, clearly indicates today that
the repeated rumors that Upton in
tends to challenge again are intended
as feelers to learn whether the New
York organization will grant even a
moderate concession to Upton in the
matter Of the size of boat. Upton Is
opposed to the "pure racing type" of
yacht, contending that it is impossible
to build boat of sufficient delicacy Of
lines to have a chance in race and
also stand the trip across the ocean
Until the club changes its attitude,
Il ipton will not challenge.

ing that the mayor and chief of police
have refused to take action when flag

NEW YORK. June 22.-The tragic
termination Of the Chinatown romance
Of Elsie sigel, and her two suitors,
has uncovered the evils Of the system
OF individual religious instruction,
which is almost universal in the Chi
nese missions. The spectacle Of young
white girls in close association with
yellow men OF middle age isolated
from women OF their own race has
aroused great public Indignation.
More women missionaries are degrad-
ed by Chinese men than Chinese con-
verted," said Helen Clark, for seven
teen years director of the Helen F.
Clark Mission here. For seventeen
years ! urged the folly OF white women
endeavoring to Christianize Chinese
men. It Is an attraction Of the sex
which predominates in both cases. /
have seen vain, young, frivolous white
women deliberately flirting and lead
ing on their Chinese pupil. What a
puzzle such a woman must be to the
Chinese, OF race totally unaccustom-
ed to any freedom Of women. The
only light can see to what may be
called the gallantry OF Chinese is their
kindness and gentleness to the women.
More than half the women OF the un-
der-world come to Chinatown to live
because the Cinnamon are more kind
than the white men. White women
can never Christianize the Cinnamon.
