DR. Sun Vat Sen, slim little man
with the air of a scholar about him,
has been a thorn in the flesh OF the
Manchu dynasty for many years Since
some time in the nineties there has
been a price on his head, but he has
slipped noiselessly about the world. es-
Gaping the nets Of the imperial author
tiles and always active about the revo-
lutionary propaganda on which he
hopes some day 20 build the fulhllment
Of his dream-a Chinese republic for
the Chinese. He was in New York
as recently as last spring.
Sun Vat Sen was educated In Homo
lulu, where his father, was a Chinese
merchant Of considerable means. II
was while a medical student i'm Hong
kong that he was thrown In with
countless numbers of his fellow coun-
trymen who had returned to China
from all parts of the western world
and had brought with them much OF
the history and some Of the spirit OF
the popular governments I'm Canada
and the United States. out of this ele-
ment was formed the China Reform
association, housed I'm Hongkong and
back Of one OF the most daring plots in
the history of the empire. And Sun
Vat Sen was credited with conceiving
this conspiracy.
DIR. Suns really fine Singapore resi-
dence was within a stones throw OF
the house OF the British governor of
the straits settlement. There he lived
surrounded and protected by a small,
compact following Chinese, who were
both a bodyguard and a group of add
visers. From that house revolution
airy pamphlets were issued and slipped
into China in spite OF all the efforts
to keep them out.
DIT. Sun wrote and directed his forces
from n book lined room that seemed
unlike the habitat OF one who planned
to shake an empire. There were books
of all sorts, many of them English, for
he speaks that language easily enough
and besides books on the philosophy
of history and political economy there
was much Napoleonic literature. DR.
Sun Vat Sen has studied Bonaparte.
He IS described as a man slightly
below the Occidental idea Of medium
height, erect and Of slender build. His
hair is close cropped and he wears n
slightly upturned mustache.-New

which, however, may not come until

Prosecutor Wendenberg will introduce
some sensational rebuttal testimony,

lah Binford
Beatue opened his statement this
morning with the declaration that he
had never made confidante of his
cousin Paul Beattie and rarely saw
him.
He declared that he did not love
Beulah Binford, had never loved her,
but had associated with her as he
would have with any other woman
of the town"
In speaking of the baby which
Boulah Binford claims is his child,
Beattie said that he did not believe
that he was the father of the child,
but was forced to give the woman
money at various times.
That he had broken off relations

admitted by Beattie He declared
though that he loved his wife with
true devotion.
The Dear Kid letter and other
missiyes which he wrote to Beulah
Binford, he characterized as The
Gush you give a woman Of that kind"
He declared that he could not love a
woman that he could not respect and
that he certainly could not respect
Beulah Binford.
Beattie insisted that his car was
held-up by a bearded man and that
he had engaged in an argument with
the man, who Immediately afterward
had fired the shot which killed Mrs
Beattie, just as he had again started
to move the car.
He declared that he leaped from
the machine grabbing the gun from
the fellow and threw it into the back
of his own car. The man, he declared,
made his escape in the meantime and
then he hurried his dead wife to their
home. The gun, the defense contends
was lost from the car-presumably
by jolting out AT the point where it
was found by a colored woman the
day following the murder.
Several times during the statement
of Beattie, the court was compelled
to warn him that he had engaged
counsel to make his arguments for
him, This was brought on by Beat
ties eager explanations of the frai-
ties of the prosecution.
