for This Baby;
He Needs $4,000

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Does a 5-year-
old boy require an annual income of
$4,000 while being prepared for the life
OF a gentleman?
This is the interesting question which
Supreme Court Justice Davis took
under advisement yesterday, and his
decision will determine the future
maintenance of Arthur Hinckley. H.,
whose father, a millionaire lawyer. of
New York, Paris and England, died N
1910, leaving an estate of more thar
$1,000, 900.
The question was raised by Mrs.
Josephine Wood, the baby's grand
mother, who Is the general guardian
and also guardian ad Item of the child.
She declared, and was supported by
the testimony of the child's mother,
Mrs. Beach Hinckley, that the present
allowance OF $4,000 annually was far
below the Mount needed to supply
f'necessities' for the proper main
tenance and education of the child.

Cl,ln the Goat;

Pekin. Dec. 7-An edict announcing
the resignation Of the regent. Prince
Chun, was issued today by the empress
dowAger. 1t Is signed by members of
the cabinet and points out that the
administration has been unpopular and
that constitutional government has
not yet been established, explaining
this by the fact that complications
had thrown the country into turmoil.
The regent regrets that his repentance
came too late and feels that II he con.
tinued In power his commands would
soon be dfsregarded.
The edict reads:
"He wept and prayed to resign the
regency. at the same time expressing
his earnest intention to abstain from
politics. l.. the empress dowager, liv-
ing in the palace, am ignorant Of the
state Of affairs. but know that rebel.
lion exists and fighting continues,
causing disaster everywhere while
the commerce Of friendly nations suf.
fers.
THE regent is honest. though am
bilious. Being misled he has harmed
the people; therefore his resignation
is accepted
The edict demands loyalty to the
ministers from the people. who must
now realize that the court does not
object to the surrender of the power
vested In the throne"
The regent has geen granted $4,000
taels annually from the imperial
household allowances.
AS the imperial and revolutionary
leaders at Hankow have not yet come
to an understanding. the armistice has
been extended for an additional three
