ENGLISH SPEECH FOR CHINA.

AS nobody knows even approximate
ly the number of inhabitants in the
vast Chinese domain, so, perhaps. no
body can say definitely and positively
how many distinct dialects are spoken
by the peoples of the different pro
vinces. A recent authority puts the
number at "over a hundred" So wide
ly differing in many respects are many
Of these dialects that they constitute
practically distinct languages. TO en-
deavor to group combine and stan
darize these languages into one com
mon speech for the whole empire
would be work Of many years and OF
immense difficulties. In fact, 1t would
seem to be an undertaking involving
greater difficulties than the introduc-
tion Of a complete new tongue. Ano
1t must be remembered that the OF"
fetal and educated classes are familiar
already with English. The language
is taught ia the universities and many
of the schools. 1t is the common me-
dunn of official communication with
other governments. At the same time,
the leaders of the new movement are
enthusiastic friends of our country. II
the republican movement shall sue
coed, that success may be followed by
the transformation of the Chinese into
an Engli3h-speaking people.

SHOOT S|DNA ALLEN
SLAYER OF JUDGE FALLS IN
BATTLE-GIRL VICTIM
DIES.
LEADER ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Three Members of Virginia Outlaw
Gang That Murdered Three Coun-
ty Officials Are Captured-Desper-
ADDS Wife Slain In Conflict.

Hillsville, Va.-A measure of ven
geance was meted out to the Virginia
outlaws in the mountain Businesses
near here.
Sidna and Floyd Allen, two OF the
chiefs of the band which rode to the
Carroll county courthouse and assas-
sinated Judge Massie, Prosecutor Fos-
ter and Sheriff Webb, are in custody,
both wounded severely.
Sidna Aliens wife is dead. She was
shot in battle with a posse in the
mountains while helping defend her
outlaw husband.
The fifth death was that of Miss
was shot accidentally during the fu-
sillade in the courthouse.
All the free members of the assEs-
sin band, probably eighteen, are up in
the mountains toward the North Car
DINA line. They are we'll armed and
determined not to be captured.
The storming of Sidna Aliens house
late in the day was the next thing to
a bombardment. The posse trailed
through the bush four miles up the
ridge and surrounded his cabin, which
stood in grove. Expecting the posse,
Allen was barricaded and well sup
piled with rifles and ammunition,
which he had brought from a store in
which he was a partner.
From behind stumps, rocks, trees
and other natural obstacles on the
mountain side the posse fired at the
house. Allen fired at the posse as fast
as the women of his family could re-
load his rifles. In lull the posse
rushed the house, broke down the
doors and found Aliens wife dead and
Allen groaning with wounds.
You got me because couldn't fight
any longer" he is reported to have
said to the men, who brought him
back to Hillsville later.
Attorney General Williams, who is
here, declared that Sidna Aliens bull
lets killed Judge Massie.
Floyd Allen, the cause of the trag-
edy, was taken to the lookup under a
heavy guard. He slashed his throat
with a pocketknife, but his wound is
not serious. His son Victor, Cabell
Strickland and Byrd Marion were
locked up as witnesses.
Juror Fowler, who was wounded ID
the courthouse firing, is not expected
to live. The wounds of Kane and
Wordell, other jurors, and Of Goad,
the court clerk, are not serious.
With the arrival Of detectives and
deputy sheriffs from outside towns
confidence began to take the place OF
the terror which prevailed for twenty
four hours. Judge Staples, designated
by Governor Mann to came here and
hold court, took the bench and sum-
moned a special grand jury to indlct
the murderers. This act had more to
do with the restoration of quiet than
any other.
A report came from Mount Airy
that the Allen band had raided hard
ware store and stocked up with guns
and bullets. That probably was
true. Sidna Allen was part owner OF
the store.

Government Sustained on Every Point
at Issue - Defendants Gain
Slight Respite.

Chicago.-In their battle to obtain
their liberty, the Chicago packers,
who have been on trial for more than
three months before Federal Judge
Carpenter, lost an important point
The court in ruling on motion of at
torneys for the ten indicted men that
the case be- taken from the jury
hands, denied the plea and held that
the trial must proceed. The courts
action came after Attorney John S.
Miller of counsel for the packers had
made the final plea for his clients.
The packers gained slight respite
after the decision had been read when
the hearing was continued. Attorney
John S. Miller of counsel for the pack
ers obtained the continuance by de-
claring that the defendants were not
prepared to go ahead.
