 Nanking.-After more than half a century of silence the hills overlook ing the walled city of Ranking, the ancient capital of China, swarm with rebellions forces eager for it's oecu- patton and determined to overthrow the last stronghold of the Manchus south of the Yang Tse.
 From the Tiger Hill fort for several hours big guns spoke repeatedly, while further up along the northeast ern range from the top of Purple mountain, overlooking the Ming Tombs, for 15-mile semi-circle west ward to the Yang Tse, smaller forts scattered shells into every section of the city So far as is known the cas- ualties list is not large. General Wong, second in command of the de- lenders, is among those killed.
 During the earlier part of the day the imperialists attempted a sortie against the attacking forces with a view to recapturing their positions and guns, but were driven back in- side the walls with considerable loss es. The Tiger Hill batteries, mean while, were pounding shells into Lion Hill. They succeeded in silencing the Nanchu batteries there, which it is suspected were of little value.

MORE COMPLICATIONS
McNamara Case Is Being Hindered By
 Death and Sickness.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Los Angeles, Cal.-The seventh week of the McNamara murder trial closed in a cloud of sicknes and death that has been spreading since the first juror was selected. There are now eight jurors and one talesman passed for cause by both sides awaiting the introduction of evidence in the trial of James B. McNamara.
 Juror James B. Sexton is dead. The wife of Juror F. D. Green has been ill for long time and sinking stead fly. It is feared she will not live through the period of the trial. Juror Byron Iisk has eve trouble and Juror J. H. Coke, an old man. may have to be excused because of deformities.
 The defense refuses to consent to the removal of either Sexton of Green from the box permanently, holding that before either of these men is re- placed another of the precious seven remaining peremptory challenges probably would have to be used to keep out an undesirable talesman.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Richmond, Va--Henry Clay Beattie Jr. went to his death, the self-con- fessed murderer of his young wife, al though the confession was not mads public until four hours after he had paid the toll demanded by the law. He maintained to the end the re- markable nerve he had exhibited since first he was accused of killing his wife on the lonely Midlothian turnpike last July.
 The confession was made public in the rotunda of a downtown hotel by the Rev. Benjamin Dennis, one of the ministers who had labored with Beat tie to repent It was acknowledged by the minister that Beattie first ad- mitted his guilt November 9, the day before the fruitless appeal for a com. mutation of sentence was made to Governor Mann. It was not until later that he would agree to it's being put in writing for his signature. Then all hope that the governor would in. terfere was gone.
 The extraordinary document fol lows:
 q, Henry Clay Beattie Jr., desirous of standing right before God and man, do, on this, the 23d day of No vember, 1911, confess my guilt of the crime against me. Much that was published concerning the details was not true, but the awful fact, without the narrowing circumstances, re mains. For this action I am truly sorry, and believing that I am at peace with God and am soon to pass into his presence, this statement is made'

 r Medical Director Would Have Visitors Pay for Health

MAYOR WOULD RAISE PRICE
Says Direct Taxation Would Scare Away Patrons-WouId Increase
 Price of Bath Tickets.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-In his first annual re- port just made public by the interior department, Maj. Harry H. Halloek, medical director of the Hot Springs reservation, recommends that tax be levied on all visitors to the famous health resort.
 At watering places abroad" said Major Hallock, "where the govern ment exercises jurisdiction over the neighboring municipality, it is GUS tomary to tax the visitors for the SUD- port of public utility services, as It has long been recognized with a large non-taxable floating population, it IS impracticable to mantain satisfactory civic conditions and to enforce law and order on the same basis of reye- nue that pertains to other cities"
 When asked what he thought of the report of Major Halloc1, medical director of the reservation here, has made to the interior department and his recommendation as to levying a tax on the visitors who cons here, Mayor waters placed nlmselI on rec- ord as opposing the suggestion re- garding the tax if it is generally known that such tax is levied, but in favor, if it can be so arranged, that the tax be added to the price of the bath tickets without the visitors knowing they are paying such tax. He said that visitors would be scared away if they knew they were being taxed.

Governor Receiver Acquisition for Man Wanted in Memphis-Will
 Investigate Matter.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 While not wiling to express a hnal opinion upon the proposed plan for financing the cotton holding move ment in the South, as given out in New York, until more fully inform ed as to the details, Governor Dona- ghey expressed himself as fayoring the project so far as it had been out lined. He analysed the proposition as 1t has been reported, and, while he expressed the belief that the men who propose to furnish the $50,000,000 will make good profit upon their invest, ment, he was inclined to think that the growers would reap considerable benefit from the movement.
 "The main thing to be done is to keep the cotton off the market" said the governor. Any means to this end will be of advantage to the grow CT. Under the plan proposed perhaps the man who is forced to borrow on his cotton may not reap as big profit as the man who does not have | to borrow. I think that the holding movement Dy lUG ldl ueio otii Oe1uJ accelerated the price of cotton, as, without such a movement the price | would have been much lower. In spite of heavy receipts and bearish re ports, cotton is now going up, some thing which has been almost unknown during the harvesting of heavy crop.
 "In my opinion, without any assist ance at all cotton will be worth con sderably more in February and March than it Is now, but with S50,000,0 900 scattered over the South to take care of the remainder of the distressed cotton I think much good may come from it. I do not believe there will be a 13,500,o ,oO0-bale crop, but, admit ting that the crop will reach that figure, there will be demand for all of it at big price, s,.}it ean easily be seen that any movement which tends to keep the cotton off the market will increase the price,"
