SEEKS TO RECOVER $4,000
London Money Lender Sues Countess
of Warwick

London, Oct. 21.-The financial
straits of the Countess of Warwick,
who with Mrs Keppel was one of the
late King Edwards closest friends and
who is a suffragette leader, narrowly
escaped airing in court this week
when a suit for $4,000 brought by a
London saloonkeeper came up for
hearing
Powerful influences caused the TEN.
pOrary postponement on the promise
of the countess to dispose of por-
tion OF the Warwick estate to square
her debts.
Meanwhile the British publican, who
is the proprietor of the famous pub
called The Windsor Castle" in Vic
toria street, declares he must be sat
isfied. The publican's name is Al
Paine, who branched out from liquor
dispensing to lending money and
forming half a dozen Industrial enter
prises. He has accumulated a for
tune, but still prefers to transact bust
ness at the Windsor Castle" where
his noble patrons must pass through
the ale bar to reach the dingy office.

STATE OBJECTS TO
TWO TALESMEN
Five Challenges Now Awaiting
Judges Decision.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 21.--The
state has challenged Venireman T. w.
Adams and A. II. Mcintosh at the Nc
Namara murder trial. The challenges
were based on their opposition to the
death penalty. The court took the
challenges under consideration, max
ing five challenges now awaiting his
decision.
Adams is a socialist and portion
of his examination was taken up in
separating his political bias and his
personal attitude toward the prisoner
The defense, under Attorney G.. S.
Darrow, resisted the challenge.
Darrow's examination was by way
of attempted demonstration that a
man who believes that gas destroyed
the Los Angeles Times building still
might be unprejudiced as to whether
or not James B. Mcnamara is guilty
of causing the death of Charles ].
Haggerty, a machinist, who lost his
life in tine Times disaster.
The state takes the position that be
lief in the gas theory is virtually be.
lief i'm the innocence of the defendant
A few minutes later the state also
challenged Talesman A. r.. Mcintosh
because of his objection to the death
penalty on circumstantial evidence.
This challenge also was resisted by
the defense. Implied bias was the
formal ground for the challenge.

IMPERIAL ARMY
IS DRIVEN BACK
Chinese Rebels Win Decisive
Victory at Hankow.
BATTLE RACES TWO DAYS

Government Forces Compelled to Re-
treat to Point Ten Miles North of
the City and the Naval Vessels
Drop Down the River-Not Believed
Foreigners in the Vicinity Are in
Immediate Danger
Hankow, Oct. 21.-A two days bat
tie between the government forces
from the north and the revolutionists
ended in a victory for the latter The
rebels forced the imperial troops to
retreat to a point ten miles north of
Hankow. The loyalist gunboats drop
ped down the river several miles.
Peking, Oct. 21.-The rebels over
whelmingly defeated the imperial
troops at Hankow, according to a
message received here from the scene
of the battle at Kiukiang.
Direct communication with Hankow
is still interrupted and few details
are available.
Diplomats here do not believe that
foreigners at Hankow are in much
danger, as accommodation can easily
be found for all of them aboard the
ten or twelve cruisers and gunboats
of the city. but it is feared they may
suffer heavy property loss if forced
to abandon their homes and places Of
business.
From the government's standpoint
the seriousness of the rebel victory at
Hankow cannot be exaggerated.
Literally millions of Chinese have
been awaiting the outcome of the
fighting there to decide whether TO re-
main loyal or to cast their lot with
the revolutionists.
The latter having won 1t is a fore
gone conclusion that the outbreaks
will begin starting up in every direc-
tion. There is a growing belief that
the present government is doomed.
In Peking itself the well to do Man
chus are preparing to fee the coun-
try.
Whole Section i'm Rebel Hands.
Yuan Shi Kai's appointment as
commander-in-chief of the Yangtse-
khan valley is officially considered as
something of a joke, inasmuch as
practically the whole OF the valley is
under rebel control and not the slight
est attention will be paid to his edicts.
The authorities are massing troops
to defend the approaches to Peking at
present, but disaffection is so general
that there is hardly regiment i'm the
entire army which can be relied on.
Scores of old soldiers go over to the
rebels daily. What has especially sur
prised foreigners here has been the
determination with which the Chinese,
always heretofore considered an anti
military race, have fought since the
uprising started. Much of the fight.
ing has been at close quarters with
the bayonet. and i'm every engagement
the dead have been actually piled in
heaps before either side would give
way.
The rebels, wherever victorious
continue to show the greatest consid
Grafton for foreigners, but 1t is ap
preciated that this is due to the lead
ers' intelligence and that the rank
and file are as bitterly anti-foreign as
ever.
In diplomatic circles Ii is gravely
feared that the masses will sooner or
later get out of hand, I'm which case
every European and American in
China will be in the utmost danger.
