 for Pekin Republican Leaders Plan ming National Election to Get Rid of President Yuan

Shanghai, Aug. 22.-Republican leaders started 8 strong movement, today, in favor of an immediate na- President Yuan Shi Kai out of office. Yuan is only provisional president. The republicans remark that, though he talks of an election, he shows no sign of calling it. They believe they can force him either to call one GOT admit virtually that he has estab ablish- ed dictatorship.
 Undoubtedly the national assem- bly's abandonment, yesterday, of the F Impeachment proceedings it had de- cided to begin against his premier and war minister, was a victory for Yuan. The president intimidated the lawmakers who, surrounded by His the readiness with which he resorts to violence when diplomacy fails, realized that their lives were in his hands and lacked the courage of fool hardness. to defy him.
 The nature of the explanation with which he is said to have ''satisfied' the Hepeh delegates that he was dividuals, the two "Hup' Generals may be judged from the fact that. despite alli'4he pressure he brought on them, the members of the assem- ply only agreed to drop the impeach- ment proceedings if mo further re- sactionary acts were committed. z Much uneasiness is felt concerning Chee Foo just before starting for Pekin and has not yet been heard from. Details of the fighting at Nu Change are still lacking.

TEDDY PREPARED FOR
 THE PENROSE ATvTACFx

WilkesbarrA Pa, Aug 22 Cplcnel Roosevelt was asked today Ii he would be willing to appear before the Senate investigating committee ana reply to Senator Penrose's charges or any thing else which came up in future sessions of the fcommittAe. He said:
 Such a question is perfectly absurd. If you will read my letter to Judge Parker, in 1904, and also telegranns and letters whichsI made public, last night, you will have an answer to your ques- tion."
 B. Cortelyou, given out last night, Roosevelt informed Cortelyou not to accept any contribution from Arch bold, and said that Corte1you informed him that no such contributions had been received.
 That Colonel Roosevelt anticipated the statements contained in Senator Penrose's speech in the Senate yester- day was shown by the fact that he brought with him from Oyster Bay texts of the telegrams and letters which he quoted in his reply. At the conclusion of his talk to the news- paper men, the Bull Moose candidate indicated that he was ready to meet any further charges brought forward by Penrose or any ether charges grow ing out of the inquiry at Washington.
 If necessary, q 1t is thought that Roosevelt will be willing to appear before the Investigating committee in person. In that event, he would ex- pect corroboration from Cortelyou.
 The Colonel came to Wilkesbarre to attend the 18th anniversary celebra- ton of the ordination of the Rev. J. J. Curran, of the Catholic Church of the Holy Saviour, an old friend. His days program included solemn high mass, dinner at Harvey's Lake, a base ball game this afternoon between the Wilkesbarre and Troy teams. and to- night a speech on Moral Issues

ROOSEVELT WILL BE POOR THIRD,

Says Voters Confident They Can Trust Him Will Elect
 Wilson
(By Gov. Simeon E. Baldwin of Con-

?
 New York, Aug. 22-The recent tar If vetoes of President Taft have sat- lsfied the people that it is simply inn possible to look to any Republican ad- Il1inistration for a proper revision of any of the customs schedules. But a great majority of the people want them revised. and revised downwards. They regard this as the great issue. believe they will see to it, this time, that a President is elected whom they can trust, on this point, to carry out their wishes.
 There is no doubt that they can trust Governor Wilson. They will elect him. They mean to have the thing settled, and settled right.
 He will draw a large Republican vote. The Third Term candidate will draw a very small Democratic vote in New England, and not a very large Republican vote. He will find his place at the tail end of the returns.

ISSUE. BETWEEN PENROSE
 AND CORTEL YOU
Col. Roosevelt and His Gam paign Manager Are of . Course Out With State naeIlts Against Pennsyl- vania Senator.

Washington, Aug. 22-That the issue of veracity raised between Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and former National Republican Chairman George B. CorteIyou. oyer the reputed contri- buttons made to the Republican cam paign fund of 1904 by the Standard Oil Company, will be threshed out by the Senate committee which is now in- vestigating campaign finances, was the belief at the capital today
 In his reply to implications raised by publication of the alleged letters to him from John D. ArchboId, of. the Standard Oil Company, Senator Pen rose asserted to the Senate that the oil trust had contributed $125,000 to the Republican war chest in 1904. that Roosevelt, the nominee, and Cortelyou. the chairman, had been advised of this gift. which was received by the late Cornulius Bliss, then treasurer, and appreciated this contribution and sent word to Archbold that they would
 appreciate still more" the receipt of $150,0o0 additional from Archbold and his Standard Oil associates.
 When Cortelyou appeared before the Clapp committee, which is probing contributions in the 1904 and 1908 cam paigns, he swore that no contributions had been made by .any trusts and that he had never heard of Archbold or any of his associates adding to the Republican funds.
 Senator Clapp was, not certain today whether his committee could inamed- lately test out the veracity issue thus raised because of the end of the ses- sion rush of business. The fact that both the .sregulars'' who support the Penfose version, and the progressivea. who desire that Roosevelt be excIeared of the charge of accepting tainted money for his campaign, are insisting on the invesfig ton, was helieved by leaders to make certain coMnpletet ventilation of the whole affair by the C1app committee if not this session immediately at the opening of the De- cember term of Congress.
