END OF MANCHU DYNASTY
Provinces North of Yangtze Take Up
Cry for Republic.

Peking.-The legations consider that
the end of the Manchu dynasty is i'm
minent. There seems no hope of saving
even a nominal throne. The provinces
north of the Yangtze are now declaring
for a republic. The only force of Man
chu troops large enough to cope with
the local situation is in Picking, but
there are Indications tonight that the
capital will be surrounded before many
days by Chinese soldiers.
American soldiers with a supply of
skyrockets were sent to each outlying
mission compound tonight. The lega-
ton has advised the Americans to come
into the quarter or t. seek other places
of safety. A concentrated attack upon
foreigners is not feared, but there are
many within the city who are opposed
to foreigners.

RODGERS FLIES FROM
OCEAN TO OCEAN
MADE APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES
IN AZ DAYS.
Greets Him at Pasadena, Cal.-Gave
Reckless Exhibition.

Pasadena, Cal.-At seven minutes OF
4 Sunday afternoon Galbraith P. Rodg-
ers was sighted by a small boy on the
top row of the bleachers at Tournament
Park.
There he comes" yelled this small
boy, thereby announcing to the world
that the greatest aviation feat of the
times had been completed; that Rodgers
had crossd the continent with a record
of something like 1000 miles in forty
seven days in a Wright biplane.
A worlds record had been established;
Rodgers was the first man to do the
wonderful feat of driving an airship
from ocean to ocean, and together with
the bowling small boy ON the bleach
ers, ten or twelve thousand other people
went crazy with tn delirium of the rites
Of hero worship.
Far to the southwest a pin point ap-
peared in the sky. At a rate of sixty
five or seventy miles an hour, Rodgers
headed directly for the park and when he
arrived overhead of the south end of the
bieachers the man seemed to sence the
frenzy of the crayz mass of people below
him, for he began the most fantastic
and perilous evolutions ever seen. Paul
han gave an indication of recklessness,
and poor Marty Hoxsey, in his spiral
dips and corkscrew landings, delight
fully terrorized at Aviation Park, Los
Angeles, but all of these memories be-
came puerile as the crowd watched the
dangerous feats which Rodgers perfofned
above their heads.
Five or six times he circled the field
in this manner, and then suddenly
swooped down to the center field, right
opposite the club cottage.

b00KER'S ASSAIlANT
GIVEN ACQUITTAL
NEGRO EDUCATOR DENIES HE IN
SUITED WHITE WOMAN.
Booker Denies Speaking to Two Girls
WHIT Passed Through
Hallway.

New York.-Booker T. Washington,
the negro educator, failed to obtain sat
isfaction at law for the beating he re-
ceived at the hands of Henry A. Ulrich,
a white man, Sunday evening, March 10,
last. Ulrich was acquitted in the court
of special sessions this afternoon of the
charge of assault which DR.. Washington
had preferred against him.
After the fight, which started in the
vestibule of an apartment house where
Ulrich lived, at IL 1-2 East SiXty-third
street, Washington was laid up at the
hospital for several days with his right
ear torn, his scalp cut and his face badly
bruised. Provocations, which the de-
Tense attempted to show today, were
based mainly on the testimony OF Ulrich,
who declared he found Washington peep
ing into the keyhole of his apartment
and also the one opposite, and that
Washington struck the first blow; also
on the story of Mrs. Laura Alvarez, with
whom Ulrich boarded, who swore that
when she passed, Washington said to
her:
Hello, sweetheart"
Washington's story on the stand was
the same explanation he offered at the
time of the alteration. He swore that
he was not peeping into any keyholes;
that he was only searching the tenants
directory in an effort to find a family
with which he understood a friend was
stopping, and denied positively that he
had spoken to Mrs. Alvarez or any other
woman
The acquittal of Ulrich was not unan-
imous, Justice OKeefe dissenting from
the opinion of Justices Moss and Seeller.
After Ulrich left the court house he was
arrested again, charged with being a
fugitive from New Jersey, where an in
dictment has been found charging him
with DESERVING his wife, who lives in
Orange.

nassing the northwest corner of Seventy

dav afternoon were startled to sec wnat
thew believed to be a bundle of clothing

anartment house and drop at their teet.
When the bravest of them made a
closer investigation they found it was
the body of an aged woman which had
dropped from the high window. A few
minutes later it developed that the vic
tim was Mrs. James Havemeycr. wife OF
a millionaire retired merchant, whose
father, William Frederick Havemeyer,
was three times mayor OF New YORK.
and was a second cousin to Horace Have
meyer, the present head of the sugar
trust.
Mrs. Havemeyer, who was 70 years
old. had either fallen or thrown herself
from her dining room window i'll the
next to the highest floor of the New
Century apartments, during a brief space
of time while her trained nurse was in
another room preparing some medicine
for her. She had been seriously ill OF
neurasthenia for more than fifteen years
and under constant attention OF a nurse.
She alighted upon her head and was
instantly killed when she struck the side
walk on the Seventy-ninth street side OF
the house. The fall was about 100 feet.
1t was a woman passerby who was
drawer than the rest of the spectators
and went to examine the corpse. Find
ing the victim dead, the woman called a
policeman, who summoned an ambulance.
James Havemeyer, the husband OF the
victim, was downtown with his only son,
J.. Craig Havemeyer, when the tragedy
occurred. The husband, who is rs years
old, was Frustrated when he heard of it.
Young Mr.. Havemeyer met the reporters,
and said:
1T was purely a case of accidental
death. My mother had beer i'll for many
years. Apparently she opened a window
during the absence of the nurse to get a
breath of fresh air, and stumbled over a
low radiator, which is directly in front
of the easement"
