CHUN ADVOCATES
Father the Chinese Child EN-
perOr Gives Up Regency.
His Place Is Taken by Shih-Hsu,
Manchu Prince.

Picking, Dec. 6.-Prince Chul, the re-
gent and father of the child emperor
abdicated today
His place as guardian of the throne
is taken jointly by Shih-Hsu, Manchu
prince and former president Of the ma
tional assembly and Hsu shi Chang,
vice president of the privy council.
Prince Chun has been the chief figure
in China since the death of the EN-
peror Kawang Su and the empress dow
ager in 1908 From the dark days which
followed the death of those rulers he
emerged the ruler of China At no time
was Prince Chun's regency a smooth
one. He tried to hold to a middle
ground which pleased neither the Man
chu reactionaries nor the native pro-
gressives. He handled the present crisis
with perhaps something less than his
old time vigor and recent reports have
limited that his mind was weakening
WI Ting Fang, the former Chinese
minister at Washington, who is now
one of the revolutionary leaders in
Shanghai, issued an appeal to Chun a
few days ago urging him to abdicate i'll
favor of the republic. 1t was reported
later from Picking that Chun was will
ing to accept a pension and retire to
Je-Hol if his personal safety was as

LION AND LAMB
Curtis and BristOw Will Have
POstOffice Patronage.
Distribute Plums in Second and
Seventh Districts.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The postmaster
patronage of the Second and Seventh
Kansas congressional district has been
turned over to Senators Curtis and
Bristow for the coming two years.
All candidates recommended by the
senators for appointment in the Sec
ond district will be appointed because
that district is now represented by a
Democrat, Mr.. Taggart. The recon-
mendation will decide all similar ap-
pointnents in the Seventh district up
to the time when a successor is elected
to succeed the vacancy of the late Con-
gresham Madison.
Senators Curtis and Bristow held
conference today on the subject of dis
pensing this patronage and it is gen
orally believed that they will agree on
acknowledgements for the two districts.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-No apparent fur
Their effort to delay the trial in the
United States district court was made

Later J. Ogden Armour entered the
court room and took a seat beside his
attorney.
That jurors might not be influ-

the famous stock yards smell which
penetrated the south and west sides
OF Chicago, was indicated by further
questions. Each prospective juryman
was asked whether any friends or rel
atives lived in those sections most af-

scribed area.
At noon the first panel of venire-
men had been questioned by attor-

STATE TRIES AGAIN
To Introduce Evidence Held as Error
in the Hyde Case.

Kansas City. Dec. 6.-The state re-
newed its efforts today in the trial of
DR.. B. Clarke Hyde for alleged muir
der Of Col. Thomas Fl. Swope to have
admitted testimony about hypo-
dernic injection the accused physician
gave Miss Margaret Swope. 1t is
charged by the prosecution that this
injection consisted of pus germs and
not camphorated oil. as claimed by
Hyde.
Miss Elizabeth Gordon, a nurse,
was the first witness called. She was
followed by DR.. Elmer Twyman, and
it was planned by the state to intro
duce Miss Margaret Swope later. AS
yet none of the Swope family has tes-
titled in the trial. All of the evidence
regarding the injection was given out
side the hearing of the jury.
At the first hearing of the case this
testimony was admitted on the ground
that it formed a link in a great chain
of alleged criminal acts The su-
preme court said this was error. The
state now seeks the introduction of the
testimony because. it is asserted, it
will contradict statements made by
DR.. Hyde.
