ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE
CHINESE PRINCE FRUSTRATED
As He Stepped from Overland Train at
the Oakland MoIe-George Fong Ar.
rested by Secret Service Mon.

San Francisco Oct. 6.-An attempt
by George Fong to kill Prince Tsai
Hsun, uncle of the emperor of China.
as he stepped from an overland train
at the Oakland Mole. half an hour be-
fore boarding the liner Chi Yo for the
return trip to China. was frustrated
today by Harry Moffitt. a secret ser
vice operative and Detective Sergeant
George McMafOn. They seized F'ong,
member of the Young China associa-
ton, as he was about to draw a re-
vols-er to fire on the royal visitor.
Fong was handeuffed and quickly
taken from the crowd that had gath
cred at the station to welcome the
prince. Fong confessed his intention
to assass sinate Prince Tsai Hsun. A
loaded revolver was found in his pock-
ct.
The arrest was made so quietly that
neither Prince Tsai Hsun nor anyone
in his retinue nor the reception party
knew of it until the steamer Chi Yo
was ready to sail.
F'ong denied that his action was the
result of a conspiracy. He said that
the organization to which he belonged,
while revolutionary in tendency. is no
way responsible for his attempt to slay
the prince.
Fong expressed regret that he had
not accomplished his purpose saying
that he wanted to be a martyr to the
cause TO which he had consecrated his
life and that he wanted to awaken his
courtrymen. He said he would have
regarded it as an honor to suffer death
if he could have accom- plished the as
sassination.
The assassin said he was slow in
drawing his revolver because the
crowd had closed in around the royal
party and he did not desire to injure
anyone except Prince Tsai.
Fong is native of San Francisco.
He has been living in Berkeley, where
he was employed as cook in a fraterni-
ty house.

WALKING CORRECTLY
KEEPS GTRJaY0TNG

The girl who persists in walking
heavily is not only likely 10 lose the
grace of movement which is natural
heritage Of a gentlewoman, but as
she grows older and her developing
figure gains a proportionate amount
of avoirdupois she gradually abandons
the correct practice of centering her
weight upon the ankles and walks
from her hips, thus unconsciously &C
quiring a wriggling gait which is I'M
speakably vulgar.
II is infinitely worse than the swag-
ger walk which distinguishes so many
American girls and women.
If a girl of twelve OF fourteen years
has acquired an awkward gait she can
overcome that fault by taking regular
exercises in running. always with the
arms raised, the better to preserve
balance
She should start off at a rapid pace
and gradually slacken speed until the
gait becomes abrisk walk, which by
degrees may be lessened to a moder-
ate gait, remembering to alternately
place tn weight of the body upon the
ming, and then falling lightly back
upon the heels.
As she grows older she will realize
that the proper sort Of daily walk not
only keeps unwelcome flesh at bay
but cures dyspepsia. and as a good di-
gestion goes hand in hand with cheer
fulness and a clear complexion, a
smooth skin and bright eyes. there is
no reason why the girl who persistent
ly cultivates them should not remain
perennially young.

simple little garments she can save
much Unnecessary work, and at tho
same time the little ones will be more
comfortable in their play. A dozen OF
these is none too many, and think how
much easier the laundry work Is for
them than when there are a dozen lit
tie fancy dresses. While II is very love-
ly to see the little ones in their dainty
dresses, mother. with all her cares. de-
serves some consideration. This gar
ment consists OF a waist and boomers.
The legs are buttoned up the seam and
az close around the ankle; the sleeves
are full-length. The rompers may be
made OF chambray. Bingham. galatea or
any other wash material, and no trim
ming is required The pattern GID Is

ment viii require yards Of material q
