REVOLUTION IN
CHINA MAKES
GREAT GAINS

Hankow China. Oct. 1.-THE revolt
utionary movement is gaining mo-
mentum with every hour. Since noon
yesterday 1t has swept the little city
Of WI Chang and the native quarters
of Hanlzow.
Great numbers Of Chinese are join
ing the movement voluntarily. The
loss in fighting thus far aggregate
several hundred but practically all the
dead are Manchus. The slogan of the
movement which is guided by shrewd
and temperate leaders Is evidently
down with the Manchus.''
Thus far there has been no indica-
ton Of any luminosity against for
eigners on the part of revolutionists.
The capture Of Han Yang, which is a
town Of perhaps 100000, just north Of
Hankow, has delivered into the hands
OF the revolutionists arsenal and Inn
portant Han Yang iron works.
Troops Mutinisd.
Picking, Oct. 12.-Between 5000 and
5000 Chinese troops in Kanow. q ma
tive city are reported to have mu-
tined this morning and killed from 200

Washington. Oct. 12.-According to
friends close to President Taft, 1t is
stated that William Loeb at present
customs collector at the port Of New
York will be a very agreeable selec-
ton from the presidents point Of view
for chairman of the republican ma
tional committee.
President Taft's secretary, Charles
ID. Hills, has been pointed out as
available timber but it il known that
the president does not want to part
with his secretary as 1t would me-
cessitate him to get a new man to
take Mr.. Hills place. Many of the
party leaders prefer Hills to Loeb.
All leaders agree that the campaign
OF 1912 is going to be the hardest
fought of many years and the man
leading the forces must be especially
equipped. Postmaster General Hitch
cock will not be candidate for the
job.

hostile intention on the part of his
nation towards the United Stats
either in Hawaii or elsewhere.
Japan is for peace with the United

Baron Uchida was informed in writ

be glad to put its columns ar his dis

Following is Baron Uchida's auth

fTt is nonsense, unjust 20 the Jap
anese government to attribute such
acts as are intimated at these dis
patches. If you investigate the history
of Japanese immigration to the liza
waiian Islands you will find that It
began about Is years ago. The old
Royal Government needed Japanese
laborers to work the sugar planta.
tons and asked Japan to furnish 1t.
There was some hesitancy at first.
but finally the request was complied
with and immigration continued to
the Islands from my country for a
number of years. It has practiN'.ly
storped now as it has to all American
possessions and in fact, to every FOR
eign power Our government wants our
people at home. We have our own
industrial problems to solve. We
have Korea and Mansuria to attend
to The deep thinking Americans GER
tainly attribute no interior motive to
the nresence of Japanese in tie Ha-
waiian Islands, the PHILIPPINES or any
other land under the American Tag.

at the proper time, that they may be
docketed for trial
Judge Grace construes the law to
be that it was left to his discretion as
to when and what kind OF process
should issue.
On the other hand District Attor-
ney NIXON asks for the writ of man
damus on the grounds that no per-
sons indicted can have his case plac-
ed on trial until after process has
been issued and served, and that nj
process can issue except upon the or.
der Of the court. Mr.. Nixon also
contends that the statute is manda-
tory and not left to the discretion OF
the court. He argued that the state
would be greatly prejudiced by any
delay of the trials. for the reasons
that witnesses may die or leave the
jurisdiction of the court

Application for Mandamus
Writ Argued in Supreme
Court Monday
THE CONVENTIONS
Judge Grace Represented By Col. S.
NJ. Taylor and District Attorney
Nixon Argues Own Petition.

The application of District Attorney
T. Havis Nixon, Of this city, in which
he seeks to secure writ of mandam-
us to compel Judge A. B. Grace, of the
jefferson circuit court to issue pro-
cess against various Pine Bluffians,
who have been indicted for alleged
election frauds in the First ward,
was argued before the Supreme Court
at Little Rock yesterday by District
Attorney Nixon and Colonel S. NJ.
Taylor, representing Judge Grace.
The jurist only issues process in
the cases in which the defendants
were indicted on a charge of perjury
and declined some weeks ago to issue
process for the same defendants on
other charges, declaring at that fine
that it was an unnecessary expense
to the taxpayers of this county A
decision is looked for next Monday.
In his response before the Supreme
Court yesterday Judge Grace contend
ed that in this matter he did as has
always been his custom to do, direct
process in only one case, and that he
had intended all the time and still
intends to see that process is issued
in some Of the election fraud cases

to hear the excuses OF some of the
petit jurors, who were empanslled

to escape jury service. F. M. Roson-
berg asked the court if the fact tina:
he was an election commissioner did
not disqualify him from service Judge
Grace only smiled his official smile
and assured the anxious juror tha: on
ly county officials and a few others
were exempt Another jlfro said
he was school director, but his ex-
cure was also declared "out Of or
der" by the court And still aaother
juror asserted that he must be IN the
northern part OF the state this week
and was under bond to appear as a
witness in court there We will
see about that LATER said Judge
Grace and the disappointed MAJ sat
down as quickly as he got up.
The petit jury was not emp1nelled
until 100 p. m. owing to the lengthy
charge of Judge Grace to the grand
jury, which took up the greater nart
of the morning session of court

exclusively Of city men and Judge
Grace commented upon this fact
Without any effort to reflect on the
country citizenship, Judge Grace de-
clared that the jury was one of tire
most representative and one of the
best that he had looked on in MANY
years. He appointed Charles H. Trip
lett foreman Of the jury.
In discussing the killing record
of Arkansas Judge Grace said: Here
In Arkansas We boast Of the soil,
climate, variety of products, its min
eral wealth and invite others to come
here to help develop it. In the North
they have billiards. almost the yea.
round, while we enjoy almost contin-
ual Springlike weather during the
winter months. Bust just as long as
we have the reputation of killing
nearly two men a day we will not
have them come here They will
say that if life is not safe in Arkan-
sas we do not want to settle in its
communities"
Gin early years every man was CON-
PEELED to be his own sheriff. But
in civilized communities that is en-
tirely out of place We live under al
organized government and protected
by the laws Of great state. The
Chicago Tribune, which has annually
kept a record of lawlessness, in re-
cent issue, stated that in the city OF
London, with a population of about l.
425,O00, there were only eighteen
homicides during the year 1910, end
ing in July that year. The scum OF
the earth. the refugees and criminals
of every cline and every nation OF
the earth go there to escape the laws.
Yet such is the respect that even the
criminal classes have for the law OF
England. Men fight there, but they
use their hands,
Here Judge Grace compared Tue Id :
rest, trial and execution of DR.. Grip
pen in England with that of Harry X
Thaw in America. There are coun-
ties in England, he said, with almost
as large population as Arkansas, that
have not recorded killing in hun
dred years. Here in Arkansas, ac-
cording to statistics, with a popula-
ton of a million and quarter mote
than five hundred killings were re-
corded last year or an average OF
nearly two day.
Judge Grace put the lid on excuses
Of Jurors many of whom tried to es-
cape jury service. Only one grano
i,,ror was excused and only after ne
told the court that his wife was an IN
valid at his country home, with no
one but the near juror to care LOT
her.
