BABY EMPEROR FLEES
WITH CHINESE ATCOR

.SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22-An-
other blow has been healt the totter~
ing Manchu destiny in China through
the elopement of Princess Lai, mother
of the baby emperor and wife of the
prince regent. with Yung Shu eLu, an
actor, known as the Chinese John
Drew
The news of the elopement of the
noblest princes sof the Manchu line
appears in all the Chinese newspapers
received here on the last ship. While
some of them do not mention the prin-
cess by name, they allude to her as
the wife of the first noble of the en-
pire. The Min Lu Pc, the largest ma
tive newspaper in China, published at
Shanghai, gives her name in full, to-
gether with the circumstances of the
elopement.
1t appears that the mother of the
emperor saw the handsome young
Chinese actor during a performance
in the Forbidden city given by i'm
perial mandate. She fell in love with
him and clandestine correspond
ence was carried on through trusted
eunuchs of the palace

Banning Engineer Has His Nerves
Almost Wrecked by an Animal
From Circus Zoo.

BANNING, Nov. 22.-During the
performance here of circus aggre-
cation, a performing bear escaped
from the trainer and Unexpectedly
showed up at the local gas plant. The
engineer, Joe NOwlin, noticed the
doorway darkened by a form, and on
loking around was considerably sur
prised to find that the visitor was none
other than huge black bear.
Nowlin picked up shovel to de-
fend himself with, but the bear paid
no attention to him, and passed on
to the engine, where it threw off the
governor belt, causing the engine to
run wild.
The engineer could not, with safety,
reach the engine to shut off the steam,
and the machine was running at ter.
rifle speed, when the trainer, arrived
and took the wanderer bear in charge
In throwing off the rapidly running
belt, the bear was badly burned on
the foreleg by the friction.

VALLEY IS VISITED BY THE
STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION

Late yesterday evening the mem
bers of the State Highway Commits
sion who are making general inspec-
ton of the proposed routes for this
system in Southern California reached
Ell Centro, having come from San Di-
ego, accompanied by County Surveyor
G. N. Perry.
In the party are N. D. Darlington,
Charles d. Blaney, Barton Towne and
A. B. Fletcher, engineer of the board.
In coming down the Devils canyon,
the auto got hole punched in its oil
tank, and the party was also delayed
by the stalling of an auto passing up
the canyon, hence the delay in reach
ing this city. Otherwise, the trip was
made without difficulties, and the
members of the board were impressed
with the practicability of the outlet
for Imperial Valley to it's nearest

DARROW CHARGES JUDGE
WITH DISCRIMINATION
[BY UNITED PRESS AssoCIAT1oNs1

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22A-The di-
rect charge that Judge BordWell is
discriminating against the defense in
favor of the state was made in open
court today by Clarence Darrow of
the Mcnamara counsel. Although re-
burked by the court, Darrow insisted
on the allegation, and perfected the
record SO the appeal grounds will be
specifically evident This resulted
from the action of Judge Bordwell in
seating A. D. Stevens, a retired cat
tie man of Whittier, and s. P. Olcott, a
Pomona rancher, as prospective jury
men, when they had said they be-
lieved the Times was dynamited and
that Mcnamara is guilty, but believed
they would be uninfiuenced by their
opinions. Bordwell also refused to
consider as grounds for challenge
against e. A. Brode the fact that his

Warden Codding to Patronize Missouri
River Transportation Company.

Leavenworth. Kan, March III. K.
| Codding, warden of the state peniten-
tiary' was in Kansas City yesterday
| morning to confer with Walter S.
Dfckey, president of the company in
terested in the navigation of the Mis-
| souri, liver from Kansas City to st.
| Louis, concerning an item of expense
that can probably be cut down by wa
ter shipping instead Of by that of rail-
way.
There Is shipped each year from Pro-
greso. Yucatayi, 100000 pounds of sisal
hemp to the Kansas state penitentiary
factories to be made into binding
Irvine. The shipment is routed across
the Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans
where it is transferred from the boats
to the railroad cars. Time is saved
in having the sisal 49, SO as to
De carried by the railroads. but this
saving is unnecessary according to
Warden Codding.
Interested in River Navigation.
The warden is interested in river nav
igation and for some time has been
making his plans for the conference
with Mr. Dickey. 1t is figured that the
prison will be benefited in more than
one way by having the shipment of
sisal routed UP the river from New
Orleans. In the first place it has been
determined that the rate by water is
cheaper than that by land The rate
from Kansas City to Ct Louis by boat
is 20 Fer cent less than the railroad
freight rate. The question vet to be
decided by the navigation company is
whether or not they will carry the
freight up the river from Kansas City
to the prison. At present the prison
has good landing place for the boats
and a wharf
sit is my intention by having the
sisal shipped over the river route to en-
courage the navigation of the Missouri
river" Warden Codding said yesterday
afternoon. ut will take a longer time
to deliver the shipment, but the prison
will be saved money by the lower
freight rates. The boat line between
Kansas City and ST. Louis is only in
its infancy. I wish to see the day come
when shipping on the Missouri river
will be as safe as it was so years ago.
The deal for routing the sisal up the
river has not been closed

The United States government has

to go if needed. These officers would
doubtless be used to fill the vacancies
