SPECIAL POLICE GUARD
THE BANK OFFICIALS
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
PEKIN, Oct. 16-Rioting has broken
out i'm several parts of the city.
principally caused by the sensational
runs that are being made on banks.
Bank officials are being guarded by
special police details, and clashes be-
tween the police and the mob are be-
coming increasingly frequent. A
general outbreak may occur at any
moment.
Government bank notes have fallen
below par and the best quotation to-
day was at a discount of twenty pcr
cent. Another ominous sign is the ac-
tion of the members of the National
Assembly, who have presented a num-
Der OF demands to the throne. They
insist that the Provincial Assembly Of
Szechuen be at once called together
and that the President and Vice
President, who were thrown into Jail.
be liberated. They further demand
the dismissal of Seng Hsuan- Huai,
the Imperial Minister Of Posts and
Communications.
Szecheuen is the province where the
first uprising occurred, which was
suppressed with great severity. The
province has practically been under
martial law since then

SOLDIER HAS
HOUSE RAIDED
Tells Of Alleged Theft and
Police Sweep Down on
Place

Owing TO the fact that J. Frank
Ball had not conferred with his
clients, the case of Josephine Driscoll
and Samuel Miles, charged with sell
ing intoxicating liquors without a state
license and maintaining a house Of
i'll fame, at No. 212 East Second
street, was continued in City Court
this morning until tomorrow morning.
The case was the outcome of a raid
on the house on Saturday night when
Arthur e. Clark, a soldier from Fort
DUPONT, reported to the police that
his watch had been stolen from him
while in the house.
When the police arrived they found
several inmates and a large amount
of beer in the house. The place was
raided two weeks ago when the Dris-
coll woman was fined on the charge OF
selling lisuors without a license.
This morning Clark and another
soldier, Robert Bouter, testified for
the state and they we're released from
custody.

FRIENDS HEAR OF
FOX'S JOURNAL
Librarian Of DeVOnShlre
House, LOndOn, Lectures
on Subject Here

A large audience was deeply inter
ested in the account of George Fox's
Journal given on Saturday night in
the gymnasium of Friends School by
Norman Penney, librarian of Devon
shire House, London. where the orig
inal journal of this founder Of the
Society of Friends is preserved. The
stereopticon showed the fireproof and
burglar-proof vaults where this and
other valuable documents of Devon
shire House arc preserved
h Cambridge University has paid the
expense Of a new and more complete
edition OF the journal, edited by Mr..
Penney, and shortly to be published; (;
an interesting fact because Cam
bridge undergraduates made fun Of
the Quaker reformer and tried to pull
him from his horse when he rode
through the university grounds in the
seventeenth century.
Mr.. Penney spoke Of the enthus-
iasm of the early day Of the Quakers
which sometimes manifested itself in
ways that Friends Of today would
greatly disapprove, such as the letter
written by eight-year-old Mary Fell to
worthy clergyman declaring that the
plaques of the Lord and damnation
were about to fall upon him.
Mr.. Penney described George Fox as
born fighter, that he by no means
went quietly to his numerous sojourns
in Jail. but only after vigorous argu-
/ tt. rha In 4
that putting the Quakers in Jail for
their faith helped to spread their cause
because many people came to visit
them in Jail, out of curiosity and were
converted.
Mr.. Penney showed slides of origi-
nal writings Of George Fox, Thomas
Lore, and other people to whom Fox
dictated his journal of his experiences,
which gave an idea of the difficulty an
editor had to decipher old manu-
scripts. He called attention to the old
fashioned spelling, going on the prin-
ciple of putting in as many letters as
possible, "sayeinge" being our Say
ing"
In the new edition, Mr.. Penney has
put in all the crossed out lines Of the
original writing, often the most in
lteresting of any. One slide showed the
writing Of William Robinson, who was
hanged in Boston for being a Quaker
There were many slides showing H.
Illustrations of the new edition, pic.
lures of George Fox and of curious in.
cidents i'm his life. such as the. child
upsetting a churn Of cream just as
the mother had refused Fox's Request
for a drink on the ground that she haC
no cream in the house.
The rarity Of seventeenth century
literature, said Mr.. Penney, adds b;
the value of Fox's Journal.

streets with speeches to students,
teachers and colored citizens took the
President to the Auditorium, where he
made the big speech of the day. Then
( he rode to the park to be greeted by

John Holdsworth, aged about 20
years, hanged himself in his unpre-
tentious home, No. 101 Liberty street,

battle with the world in latter years,
