ANOTHER UPRISING
FEARED AT WASHINGTON
Scene Of Trouble is One Of
Most Wealthy and Important
Provinces In China

Washington, May. 17-Another up
rising at Changsha, China, is feared
The commander of the United States
gunboat Helena has telegraphed the
state department from Hankow that
the conditions at Changsha were most
serious, and that all foreigners were
lotified officially on the eleventh in
slant 10 seek refuge on the ships that
were available.
The war vessels In the river are be
lieved to be sufficiently strong 10 con
troll the situation.
Although the state department has
rot been officially advised as to the
nature or extent OF the present threat
ened uprising, it is believed it is di
rectly principally against the Man
churian government
1t is pointed out that revolutionary
uprisings were of more or less fire
quent occurrence throughout China
hut that in most cases the scene o.
the disturbances were so remote from
Lews centers that many Of them pass
ed without the facts ever becoming
known.
The present movement in Hunar
province however, is of more than or
dlnary significance, inasmuch as The
province Is one of the most wealthy
and important in all China. During
the last century the troops from Hu
non have borne the brunt of many
conflicts, and credit is given them fol
suppressing the TAPPING rebellion il
which the contest lasted from 1856 Il
1864. The people of the province hav,
long been noted for their anti-foreigI
sentiment and for their bravery II
battle.
The proposed line of railroad from
Eankow south, runs directly through
the province, and it Is believed the dis
ttrbed conditions there will stimusat'
the Chhese authorities TO their bes
effort TO bring about the construc
tion of this road at as early a dat,
as possible, as upon It's completion
the government will be in position

tons In case of formidable uprisings

Special to Daily Leader.


Kansas City, Mo-, May 17-Expres-
sions CLEANED from the jury confirm
6he view Of those who have heard the
evidence and followed the trial close
~; namely that DR.. Hyde's own ap-
pearance on the stand hurt his case
and that his cyanide capsule explana-
ton did not explain, and that there
night have been a chance for acquit-
tai had he not gone on the stand.
This is not at all reflection on his
attorneys. Although they will not
talk. it is known that they were op-
posed to his going on the stand. AT
first they proposed to rest their case
without introducing any evidence
Then they wanted to stop after Mrs
Hyde had testified. But Or. Hyde in.
sisted on testifying, believing that
hls appearance would strengthen his
case. The contrary proved true.
Cyanide was the thing he could not
explain away. Although there was no
direct evidence that the capsule
which he ordeled given to Colopel
: Thomas ri. Swope, October 3, 1903
contained poison, the jury. consider
ing 1t in connection with purchases
o. cyanide in capsules, believed Col

ORPHEUM CIRCUIT OFFERS
PRIZE FOR BEST PLAYLET
Ambitious Dramatists Will Be Hand
someIy Rewarded for Sketches
for Actors Fund Fair

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The Orph-
cum circuit announces a competition
for the best playlet to be produced
at the Actors Fund fair in New York.
In several respects the contest differs
from many First, the six best play
let's are to be produced at the fair and
then a prize of $3.50 is to be awarded
the author of the sketch which proves
most meritorious "This does not mean
that the author relinquishes his rights
to royalties" said Martin Beck. 1--WE
will produce the piece and pay the
usual percentage. If the other five
prove of merit, they, too, will lbe pro-
duced on the same basis. The condi-
tions are singularly favorable for new
authors, as the playlets will be acted
by the best players. There are no re-
strictions as to subject, but the piece
must be clean and must not run to
exceed thirty minutes. 1t may be
comedy or tragedy. The contest is to
close April l, in order to allow time
for selecting and producing the pieces
All manuscripts must be typewriter
and should be sent to e. L. Sheldon,
Actors Fund fair, 1882 Broadway. Ac-
ton Davis, Louis Defoe, Sam Mckee
Adolph Klauber and Matthew J. White
are to act as judges. The best sketch
will be presented the opening day OF
the fair, May g."

The motorman lost no time in obey
ing the order and sent the car ahead
as fast as he could. On his arrival in
town he reported the matter to the
police. Detectives were detailed to
investigate, but as in the case of a
week ago, when Conductor George
Pierce and Motorman T. J. owens were
robbed at the same spot, no trace of
the highwayman could be found.
According to Conductor Williams the
highwayman is probably an Italian OF
a Mexican. He is described as being
five feet six inches in height, weights
about $50 pounds and was dressed in
dark clothes and wore a black slouch
hat. A white silk handkerchief OBJ
scured the lower part of his face.
The robbery is a duplicate of an
affair that occurred a week ago last
night at the same place, when Con-
ductor George Pierce and Motorman T.
J. Owens of car No. $50 were held up
and robbed of $25 by lone highway
man who had the same appearance as
the man who robbed Reed and Williams.
