CHINESE ADOPT
new METHODS
BISHOP w. S. LEWIS SAYS
THEY ARE. PROGRESSING
HOLDING OF DEGREE MORE
HONOR THAN RICHES
Universities and Schools Being Found
ed Which Are Patterned
After Wetsern
Models

Bishop Wilson S. Lewis, Methodist
bishop of China, arrived in Los Angeles
yesterday afternoon from San Fran
cisco and with Bishop Hartzell of Af-
RIGA is at the Fremont hotel
Bishop Lewis, whose official resi-
dence is in Foochow, China, was elected
to the bishopric of the Methodist church
at the last general conference held in
Baltimore, May, 1908, at the same time
that Bishop Mcintyre, formerly of Los
Angeles. was made a bishop. Shortly
after his election to the office the
bishop was appointed to China and
since that time has. been looking after
the work there and is now engaged in
the laymen's missionary work in this
country. When seen last evening Bish-
op Lewis said:
1.-The Chinese are a people who give
great attention to education, for dur
ing all their history as a nation off
cial preferment has been based upon
an educational test. Any person deslr-
ing an official position must first sub
init to crucial examination in Chinese
learning.
Adopting New Methods
ITO hold degree is esteemed to be
more honorable than to possess great
riches. OF late the Chinese people have
come to see that their old methods do
not prepare them for modern life. They
are therefore providing for complete
change in their educational methods.
They are now founding universities and
schools after western models,
MANY philanthropists in England
ard America are helping in the estab-
lishment of schools in China. The Uni
versity of oxford has provided for the
founding of a college at Hankow. Mr..
Rockefeller has indicated his inten-
tions to found a Christian institution
in some one of the cities of the empire.
Harvard university has sent repre-
sentative to China for the purpose of
locating a school for the study of trop
ical medicine. This will probably be
instituted at Shanghai.
"The Chinese welcome all such in
stitutions. In fact the knowledge is
much coveted by the Chinese. A Chi
nese with some knowledge of English
has no difficulty in securing a salary
many times larger than he could earn
without it.
Many Accept Christianity
"The Christian work is developing
very rapidly. While the official classes
have not accented Christianity, many
of the great middle class-merchants,
bankers and some scholars-have done
So The Protestant churches are now
planted in every one of the twenty-five
provinces, They occupy the strategic
places, the great cities and commercial
centers.
1.-The people have awakened to the
advantages of western life and learn
ing. A citizen of the United States has
the advantage over all the nations in
his approach to the Chinese. Our re-
turn of the indemnity money about two
years ago is proof positive to them that
our motives for going to China are not
selfish"

STREET ACCIDENTS PILE UP
Highways Protective Society Makes
Suggestions to Promote Safety.

Eighteen deaths and 153 cases of injuries
are the totals OF accidents in the streets
of the city during July, according to sta
tistics furnished by Edward S. Cornell, sec
rotary of the National Highways Pro-
tective Society. OF this number three per
sons were about seventeen years old and
thirteen were younger children. The totals
since January l SO killed, 81 being
minors, and 500 injured.
Manhattan had only six such deaths and
thirty-six injured persons reported. against
twelve fatalities and ninety-siX lesser acct
dents on thoroughfares in Brooklyn. while
the boroughs of The Bronx, Queens and
Richmond had only twenty-three injuries
among them. Trolley cars, automobiles
and wagons figured equally as destroyers
of human life. All the fatal trolley accl-
dents were in Brooklyn.
The society's committee on the regulation
of wagon drivers and trolley cars. com
posed of George Burley. John c. Coleman
and Colonel Joseph H Colt, believes that
MANY trolley accidents are due to the IN
ability TO stop quickly. and is urging that
all cars be equipped with air brakes in ad-
dition to the hand brakes. The society
calls attention to an amendment TO Chap
ter 500 of the Laws of 1910 which makes 1t
unlawful for children to play on railway
tracks and provides that the parents OF
those found doing so may be fined 20

DEFINES TYPES OF sUBWAYs
Citizens Union Distinguishes Between
"DeveIopment and Trunk Lines.

Drawing a sharp distinction between wha'
il calls development" subway and
trunk line subway, the Citizens Union has
presented to the Public Service Commission
and the Board Of Estimate and Apportion-
ment an argument in favor OF the assess
ment plan of financing the outlying
branches of the tri-borough subway in the
Bronx and in South Brooklyn
1t contends that the application of the
assessment method as laid down in the law
of 1868 10 this subway is essential properly
to establish the rule
The distinction is drawn between de
Telopment' subway and q trunk line sub
way in that the former is one which de-
rives its patronage largely from residents
Of the section through which it runs, while
the opposite is the case in a trunk line sub
way.
Under this classification It is argued that
the Jerome avenue and the Pelham Bay
Park extensions of the northumberland
route and the Fort Hamilton and the Coney
extensions of the Fourth avenue subway
should be built by assessment.

STATE WILL HOLD CHARLTON
Italy's Failure to File Formal Com
plaint Does Not Mean Freedom.

The failure of the italian government to
file the formal complaint within the time
limit, forty days, will not open the gates
of the Hudson County Jail at Jersey City
to uberate Porter Charlton, who confessed
that he murdered his wife in the villa they
occupied on the bank of Lake Como. He is
held as a prisoner Of the State Of New
Jersey and will probably be detained until
September 90 the day set for the hearing
before Judge Blair
At that time the alienists who have ex-
amfned Charlton will present their reports
as to his mental condition The prevailing
opinion is that they will declare him TO be
of unsound mind and he will be trans
ferred from the jail to an asylum. Prose-
cutor Garven has expressed a decided
opinion that Charlton Is possessed of
homicidal mania, and he declares that no
matter what the report of the experts may
be he will make a determined fight to have
Charlton confined as a dangerous lunatic.

OBJECT TO NEW CEMETERIES
Too Near Brooklyn's Water Supply,
City Officials Saw.

Mineola. Long Island, Aug danger to
Brooklyns water supply, and the law
prohibiting a cemetery within two hundred
feet Of water supply were the bases OF
q vigorous opposition made by representa-
tives of New York City before the Nassau
County Board of Supervisors to the prop
osition of the Provident Cemetery Asso-
citation TO establish burial ground at
Franklin Square, Nassau County.
Il was said that a stream feeding one
of the city reservoirs at Valley Stream
runs within two hundred feet of the ceme-
terry land.
The city opposed the extension of the
Rockville Cemetery on similar, grounds.
and the property owners of Franklin
Square joined with the city in the protest.
The Board of Supervisors will probably
deny both cemetery applications.
