Preparing to Send Troops.

Although the United States. together
with the other powers with interests in
China, is making preparations for send
ing detachments Of troops to China for
the purpose Of keeping communication be-
tween Peking and the sea open. it was
stated at the State Department today
that the preparations for the dispatching
of American troops to the trouble zone
had not been completed.
1t was made plain that this country was
not taking the initiative in any movement
toward China. but was acting in conjunc-
ton with the other interested powers.
The dispatch of these troops. which Will
not in any way be an invading force. but
merely to guard the railroad running out
OF Peking and to the sea, will depend
wholly upon the decision OF the council
of foreign ministers, which meets almost
daily at Peking to consider the situation.
When these men believe that IT IS de-
sired to have additional guards both at
Peking and along the railroad message
to the various governments represented
will be the key for the marching of the
soldiers to the scene. Russia, 1t was
announced, has already completed her
preparations for sending soldiers in case
they are needed.
Awaits Word From Mr.. Calhoun.
Although the army is ready to embark
troops at Manila on the transport Sher-
man at a moments notice. it was stated
that nothing will be done further until
word comes from Minister Calhoun, at
Peking, that there Is need of American
troops.
It was upon the minister's recommenda-
ton several days ago that the Sherman
was detained at Manila, and a composite
organization Of infantry, transportation
service, Signal Corps men and machine
gun detachments was made up ready to
embark for Chinwangtao, one of the
points on. the road to Peking.
Mr. Calhoun has been in daily confer
ence with the other foreign ministers at
Peking regarding the situation, and it is
understood that the powers are acting
in perfect harmony in the matter OF IN
creasing the number of foreign troops in
China.
Appeals from both factions in China to
refrain from infiaming the public by land
ing additional troops has SO far made the
officials reluctant TO precipifate crlsis
and perhaps endanger the lives and prop
erty of foreigners at points remote from
the treaty ports where foreign warships
are unable to protect them. However, the
State Department is perfectly willing TO
allow Mr. Calhoun to exercise his dis
cretiop and the troops will be embarked
at Manila the moment he gives the word:
The city of Chunking' province OF
Szechuen, is in the bands OF the revolu-
tionists, according to dispatch from
American Consul Albert p. POntius. at
that p ace.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-Siam is pay
ing its tribute to the late king of that
country by carrying out one of his
cherished ideas in the erection OF a Red
Cross hospital and the enlargement of
Mahadlek college, founded by the de-
ceased monarch. according 10 advices re-
ceived by the state department from the
American legation at Bangkok.
The hospital Will be built by the Red
Cross society. which was established in
Siam in 1893 during the Franco -Samese
difficulty. About S3S. 900 has been sub
scribed by the kings sons and daughters
for the erection OF the main memorial

MORE ARGUMENT in THE
BALDWIN WILL CONTEST

LOS ANGELES. March Thousands
OF words of legal opinions rendered I'm will
contests dating as far back as 1850 were
cited today by attorneys for the Lucky
Baldwin estate in combating the claim Of
Beatrice Anita Turnbull 20 a daughter s
share of the late turfman'S millions.
Attorney Bradner w. Lee. who drew the
will which the young Boston girl has for
three months been striving to break, con-
tinuel the argument begun yesterday on
the motion for an instructed verdict In
favor OF the estate. He confined himself
to the legal aspect of the alleged marriage
of Baldwin and Mrs. Lillian Ashley Turn
bull, mother of the petitioner
Like his colleagues who spoke yester-
day. Lee asserted that a common law
marriage. such as SMrs. Turnbul alleged
Baldwin had entered into with her. must
be supported by general and undivided
recognition OF the parties as husband and
wife TO have standing In law.
There has been no general and undi-
vldcd repute in this case" Lee continued.
Moreover. the legal career of tn petit
toners mother herself would cast doubt
upon such a supposition, for 1t must be
remembered that she once sued Baldwin
for seduction after the alleged marriage
is said to have taken place"
