Advancing on Pekin.

PEKIN, Friday, Nov. 1O.-The rebel
army under General Chang passed on
toward Pekin today and the tottering
Manchu throne drew nearer it's fall
General Tuant division of 1000 men
left Pao-Ting, 600 miles south of the
northward along the Pekin railway
rapidly repairing bridges and track
blown up by the Manchus to prevent
the use of the railway for the trans
portation of revolutionary soldiers
The Pao-Ting troops composed the
third army division which mutined
against the government. 1t was in
creased by citizen soldiers who joined
the march on the capital. There are
said to be more than 10000 men in the
main army under Gen. Chang.
To Be No Resistance.
Panic reigned in the capitol today
and, despite the statement of Prince
Ching, former premier, that an assault
upon the city by rebels would not be
resisted, great quantities of provisions
ammunition and arms were still being
carried into the forbidden city. 1t was
made evident that if the rebels COM
menced slaughtering Manchus after
their investment of Pekin the Manchu
families and the government legions
remaining loyal to the throne would
stand siege in the forbidden city.
Thousands of Chinese fled from the
city today The flight from Tien Thin
has been diverted to Ta-Ku. port city
ten miles from Tien Tsin. by the re-
port that Gen. Chang's army will first
take Tien Esin and operate his forces
from that city as base. From the
same source it is announced that Gen
Chang will send an ultimatum to the
remaining Manchu princes in Pekin
demanding the surrender of the city.
Tien Tsin is only sixty miles from
Pekin and is conneced with that city
by railway so that transportation of
troops into Pekin would be easy.
Gen Chang has now assumed the
Central role in the revolutionary
troops mastery over the Ian Chow
troops, or the army of the North, as it
was known during the Manchu re-
gime.
Without Government.
China is virtually without govern
ment today, martial law reigning
throughout the empire and being en-
forced in every locality, where there
are troops. All of that vast section
south of the Yang-tse-kiang valley is
isolated from the North and the au-
thority of the throne has been abso-
lutely nuulihed.
Disruption of the entire empire is
threatened with a consequent reign OF
anarchy unless other powers step in
| with troops to support the regenerated
government until 1t assumes stability.
Heavily armed guards are maintain
ed around all the foreign legations, to
which scores of foreign residents have
fled for protection. Several Manchu
families took refuge in the foreign
quarter today and declared that the
baby emperor had been carried from
the city by the dowager empress
While their declaration lacked ofncial
confirmation, the refugees declared
that belief was constantly spreading in
the forbidden city that the emperor
had been spirited away with few at
tendaats. the party fleeing in disguise

INSANITY IS THE
vANPELT DEFENSE
Witnesses for Murderer Tell
of His Great Hatred
for Tindall.
National News Association


SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Nov. 10.-Pe-
culiar and unusual actions of Charles
E. Vanpelt prior to and on August 25,
the day he shot and killed Charles H.
Tindall, are being detailed by witness
es for the defense, which is based on
unsoundness of mind of the defendant
at the time of the murder. All the wit
nesses today recalled threats and
statements he had used In reference
to Tindal1 on account of the course
the latter pursued regarding the alleg-
ed shortage of Vanpelt's wife as recor-
der of the local court of Honor lodge,
Mrs. Vanpelt having been forced to re-
tire from the position in June, 1910. af-
ter years of service, because the
bonding company would not secure her
further on account of Tindall's influ-
ence.
In making the opening statements
for the defense Yesterday Attorney Ell
mer Bassett said it would be shown
that Vanpelt was monomaniac at the
time of the murder, and that he had
brooded over the accusations against
his wife until his reason was dethron-
ed He said it would be shown that
Tindall in the lodge room and else
where had branded Mrs Eanpelt as a
thief, embezzler and liar. and that the
first speech against her in the lodge
had been made the evening of the day
on which he and the other members
had assisted Mr.. Tindall in entering
the supreme court of honor at his
home.

WOMAN UNMOVEO BY
THIRD DEGREE QUIZ
Police Unable to Get Incrim-
mating Admissions from
Mrs. Vermilya.
(National News Association

CHICAGO, Nov. 1O.-Although con-
fronted with report that arsenic had
been found in the bodies of Richard
T. Smith and Frank Brinkamp, the po-
lice early today failed to break
through the stolid reserve of Mrs.
Louise Eermilya, already under ar
rest for the murder of Policeman Ar
thur Bisonette, and once more they
failed in their attempt to draw from
her some discriminating admissions.
Smith was boarder at Mrs. Vermil-
ya's home and Brinkamp was her son
by her first marriage. Both died from
peculiar stomach ailments, similar to
the effects of poisoning which killed
Bisonette. Coroner Hoffman returned
to Chicago today with the viscara Of
Charles Nermilya, the woman's sec
ond husband will have it examined
Immediately for traces of poison. The
coroner also announced that in view
of new evidence which he had obtain
ed, six other bodies of persons, who

would be examined.
The police began a new search to-
day for visitors at the Nermilya home,
who became i'll after dining there.
They have already found six such, and
at least two OF these, the police say,
remember using white pepper from
the shaker which it is believed car
ried death to Bisonette and many 9th
ers.
Mrs. Vermilya is recovering very
slowly from two serious collapses,
which she suffered since entering the
Jail. Both sudden illnesses were sim
liar to that Of last Saturday night,
when under the very eyes of the police
she attempted to commit suicide by

The circumstances which wiped the
town of Roosevelt from the map was
peculiar. 1t resulted from a land
slide two years ago, starting near the
source of Mule creek, a mile and a
half from the settlement. The great
avalanche of earth and stone plough

a roar that was heard for miles. Twen-
ty-six hours after the break occurred
the mass stopped abruptly across the
lower part of the town, forming a dam
for monument creek. which has now
formed a lake where the townsite
stood.
There were few residents in the
town at the time Of the slide and all
escaped with their possessions, owing
to the slowness of the avalanche. a
log school house and two cabins, out
of its path, now stand as silent SEN
tinels to mark the vanished town.

What Carts that Are Sent
Out with Strikebreakers

$500 Men Quit.
(National News Association)


NEW YORK, Nov. 1O.-Every re-
source of the city is being exerted to-
day to break the strike of $500 en-
ployes of the city street cleaning de-
partment. Failure to move street gar
bage has resulted in perilous health
conditions, which are worrying the
authorities. Commissioner Edwards
had planned to take out $500 strike
breakers and $500 policemen, making
q small army, but abandoned this plan
and decided not to operate all of the
1745 idle carts.
Instead of having policemen and
strike breakers at all the rs stables
of his department the commissioner
combined his efforts to six of the
twelve stables in Manhattan, eight sta
bles in Brooklyn and three in the
Bronx.
The stables have been turned into
dormitories and the strikebreakers
housed there. Attempts to remove gar
bage last night were abandoned be-
cause Of outbreaks Of disorder. Com
missioner Edwards and Police Com
missioner Waldo, who is working with
him. decided to have a policeman de-
tailed with each cart that left the sta
bles today. In addition to this uniform
ed guard there were three other men
to q cart, the driver and two helpers.
In the feace of the threat of the lead
ers of the striking drivers that the
10000 members of the Teamsters' Un-
ion in New York may be called out in
q general sympathetic strike II the po-
lice and strikebreakers succeed in get
ting garbage moved. Commissioner
Edwards announced that with the con-
sent of Mayor Gaynor he is determin-
ed not to compromise with the strik-
ers.
