Efforts Not Abandoned

Assistant Secretary Wilson said:
 ''I see in the statement Of the bankers nothing which could be interpreted as not being fair. It is not an abandon mept of the work of the six power group which already has been very valuable factor in the policy of concerted action which has from the beginning been of such immeasurabe benefit in dealing with the Chinese situationa The broad principles of international cooperation and the concerted action applied in favor of international loans to China upon thoroughly sound and helpful bases as best alike for China and the powers, remain precisely as hitherto the poll cies of the department of state.

BELL PLEADS GUILTY ID ROBBERY OF BANK Is Arraigned Before United States Commissioner HAD NO ACCOMPLICE Yielded in Moment of Weakness. Up to His Confession He Was
 Regarded as Model
 Youth

Pensacola. Fla, September 25.--William II isen, the la-veaf-e,t! bank clerk who last night confessed to stealing the pack age Of s55O0e from the First National bank here, was arragned before a United States commissioner this afternoon and entered plea of guilty
 Bell declared he had no accomplices1 taking the money or in returning 1t .J the bank door, where it was found by the negro ianitor. His bond was fixed al 5000.
 In his confession, made public today, Bell declares he yielded in moment of weakness, but after he had it he did not know what to do with it. He said he desired to take his medicine as quickly as possible.
 Was Model Youth
 Until the robbery Bell had been regard ed as a model youth with no bad habits and with q comfortable bank account for young man of lis social standing. He had never been known to stay away from home at night Bell was not regarded as suspect when he approached friend of the bank and said:
 T am the person WHO got lne 3JpsVfi. This person, President Brent of the bank. almost dumbfounded asked Bell to De seated. Then the official called in the police and Bell was lodged in jail, where he dictated confession, after rallying from collapse.
 T admit al.p said Bell. ''l made up the misleading package al my home Sunday night. September 15. l placed 1t in my locker at the bank. My first thought of taking the money came on the pre- vlons Saturday, when l read a letter from the Louisville and Nashville regarding the shipment l began thinking. I do not know why took it. Tuesday when the two packages were made up and la belled by the boys, 1 walked over and picked up the larger one containing the $55.000. and passing in full view of half a dozen of the clerks walked to my locker and substituted the phoney package put this dummy with the other package containing the smaller amount. and put both into a suitcase and 1 left for the Southern Express eompany's office. There the clerk receipted for the budget.
 Took Money Home
 Tuesday night 1 took the package containing the money from my locker put it into the suitcase and boarded the car for home The package remained at home until Saturday night when l got conscience stricken and decided that 1 did not want fl. Saturday night again put it into my suitcase, carried 1t to the rear of the bank and placed the pack age at the rear door in restitution, Step ping into Greeks store I called up MT Roberts, assistant cashier. and told him the money could be found at the rear door of the bank 1 was uneasy about ta& money and went Sunday forenoon and late in the day to see if it was still there. do not know why l took t. l sup- pose 1t was in q moment of temptation.

Pathetic Conditions Prevail

Pathetic conditions prevail throughout the country Occasionally detachments op soldiers engage in footing and wanton destruction. Trade is greatly hampered and thousands of persons are dying from starvation who could be saved by the employment of few foreign engineers Meantime the political situation, which is absorbing the republican leaders, has curious and interesting phases. The Man chu princes recently gave dinner m honor of Dr. Sun Vat Sen and toasted the republic. But the imperial guard lined the streets during Dr Suns visit this being regarded as the safest course. The troops of the court, contrary to the abdication terms, remain In the For bidden City, President Yuan evidently desiring their presence there.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-09-26
To Pay Off Troops

The object of the present loan IS osten- sibly to pay off and discharge this menac- ing army. which is very large, according to lists submitted by the generals The national assembly recently made an in- vestigation and discovered that the gen erals, like the soldiers. were not free from the methods prevalent under the Manchu, but the government argues it is cheaper to pay the military leaders demands than fight.
 The Chinese appear to be well pleased with the success of the new loan negotia- tions, the newspapers having stirred up an agitation against foreign control as proposed by the six power group. Little heed has been paid to the fact that con trary to the constitution this contract mas not been submitted to the national as- sembly. According to inquiries recently instituted by the bankers representing the six powers. the Salt Gabelie, on which the loan is nominally secured, Is now yielding greatly diminished returns because the various provinces are not remitting the proceeds to Picking.
 If is believed President Yuan Slh kai prefers comparatively small loan at the present time because his personal author ity is not yet sufficient to control, while a government organization for hanoins the money does not exist since the late goyer. ment bank closed it's doors. Inci- dentally depositors of this bank are taking their losses as natural occurrence.

Picking. September 25.-The troops en- eamped outside the gates of Wu chans' capital of the province of Hu-Peh' mu- tinied last night and attacked the city. The troops numbered several hundred ana were composed for the most part or cav airy A strong force of Gen; u fueh Heng's regiment immediately engaged the rebels and after several hours or nefce fighting dispersed them.

 It is believed the attacking party only
 intended to loot the city. but most of the towns in the interior have no defenders from such outbreak, in which both the re- publican and former imperial troops ih- dulge. The republican spirit apparently IS not appreciated by the classes from which the soldiers are recruited.
