SLAUGHTER IN NANKIN
Awful Work of Chinese Imper.
iaIist SoIdiery.
Streets Run Blood, and Fire Over
Large Area Completes Terri
BILE Destruction.

Maxim. Nov 1.-THE imperial
troops descended upon innocent Chi
nese of this city and before their aw-
full work was done thousands had been
murdered and their bodies left to lie
in the city's streets
Every person suspected of having
revolutionary tendencies was killed.
The Manchu soldiers did not stop with
the killing of men who wore no queues
They slew women and children as they
ran terror stricken through the streets
Thousands managed to escape from
the city and to find refuge behind the
lines Of the rebels who are gathered
about the city in numbers larger than
those within, but ineffective against
tlze imperiais because of the lack OF
ammunition.
Ii is impossible to estimate the num-
Der of killed. Literally the streets OF
Nankiu ran blood and the day will 60
down in history as one blacker than
any Of modern times.
The murders were followed by fires
as the emptied houses Of the dead
We're pffIaged, and soon large sec.
ton of the native city hid been
burned
With all the killing of the Chinese
not foreigner is known to have sui
fered at the hands of the soldiers.

Lunn said:
''Aside from the great work that
he can do In the assembly. in the
way of presenting the socialist view
point, | am especially gratified that
he should have the great honor of
being the first socialist In the New
York state legislature. He has
worked faithfully for years in the
socialistie movement and is especial.
ly fitted for the place by long, hard
years of study"
In regard to his cabinet appoint
ments Dr. Lunn declared:
Appointments will be made in
accordance with the principles for
which we stand. There are a num-
Der of city offices now costing the
city several thousands of dollars
YEARLY that shonld be eliminated.
Phe members of the administration
are paid by the city to do the duties
of the offices, and if their duties are
faithfully accomplished, profitable
elimination is inevitable
DR.. Lunnn gave the impression in
an interview today that his appoint
ments may not necessarily be con-
fined to the socialist party, and it is
possible that the mayor-elect may
even go out of town to get experts
to. head some of the departments.

Has Been Exaggerated.

Chicago, No.. 11.-Fred NJ. Blount.
manager for Senator Albert ]. Hopkins
in his campaign for reelection, and
an officer and director in the banks
OF the late John r. Walsh. became a
champion for Senator Lorimer.
Testifying before the senate com
mittee investigating the election of
Senator Lorimer, he stated emphatical'
ly his belief that the Lorimer cleo
ton was not tainted by corruption. He
further said that he did not believe
there was money at Springfield during
the senatorial deadlock of 1909 to adj
vance the interests of any candidate;
he denied vigorously the. story that he
was at Springfield with bag contain
ing money with which to buy Demo
cratic votes for Ex-senator Hopkins.
Another witness was Represents
tive John Griffin of Chicago, another
Democratic legislator who voted fol
Lorimer. Representative Henry Ter
rill of Colchester in his testimony
said that Griffin told him there would
be 81 900 in it if he voted for Lorimer
Griffin denied having said this to Ter
rill. He admitted, however, that he
solicited votes for Lorimer.
The testimony of James II. Corcor
an, former Democratic representative
of Rockford, brought up the question
whether Emanuel NJ. Abrahams, for

MRS. ALBION FELLOWS BACON.
Something About Noted Woman
Who Will Come To Plymouth
In April.

Mrs. Albion Fellows Bacon, of
Evansville, Ind, who comes to Plym-
outh in April to speak before the
Civic Club, spoke at one of the In
dianapolis churches, during the re-
cent convention of State Charities.
Mrs. Bacon, though the originator
and staunch supporter of the Hous-
ing Bill, which passed during the
last session of the legislature, has
nothing in the least aggressive in
her manner.
On the contrary, she is essentially
feminine, thoroughly domestic; the
kind of wife and rother that Solom-
on praises, and home maker. in
the truest sense Of that word.
Mrs. Bacon is small, frail and
delicate in appearance-but she
works to the limit of her powers,
Which are not small, and she is one
of the most influential and best low
ed of the philanthropic workers of
Indiana. In addition to her literary
and civic work, she is a song writer
of much ability. 1t goes without
saying that she is a deeply religious
woman.
She took for her text Sunday.
the words, "Follow Me-" and the
printed report Of her talk is as fol-
lows:
ANYONE who witnessed the work
Of that noble Christian woman from
Evansville, Mrs. Albion Fellows
Bacon, who during the las, two or
three sessions of the Indiana Legis-
lature has labored so necessarily for
our present tenement house law. will
realize how the spirit of Christ can
actuate one to make untold sacrifc-
es for the elimination of the slums
from our towns and cities and the
Improvement of living conditions
among the poor.
''Thanks to those who turn on the
light and cause US to see the needs
of our cities. Thanks to those who
hear the cry of the children and
seek to, diminish the horrors of
the. sweat shop and the cruelties of
child labor in so many quarters.
"Soeiety is full of grand possibili
ties. The devils of drink, lust,
idolatry. skepticism. pride. covetous-
ness. war, that keep the race out of

received word from his representa-
