Terror Ruled Peking Last Night
No Foreigners Reported Hurt

PEKING. March IA mutiny broke
out among Yuan Shi kai's soldiers last
night and a reign of terror followed in
this city. Shops We're looted and natives
killed, but it is not known that any
foreigners suffered. The missionaries are
reported safe in their compounds. Among
the refugees at the American legation
are Willard ID. Straight. former American
consul general at AIukden, and now the
representative of a New York financial
syndicate. and his wife, who was Miss
Dorothy +. Whitney. daughter of the late
William c. Whitney. and Daniel A. de
Menocal, representative of the Interna-
ton Banking Corporation at Picking,
and his wife, all of whom had thrilling
experiences as they traversed the streets,
in which Chinese troops were engaged in
footing.
The soldiers did not attempt TO inter-
fere with them. but there was great dan
ger from flying bullets and firebrands,
which We're four:shed in all directions.
Mr. and Mrs. Straight saved their records
and valuables, but deserted a richly fur
nished house, which was given over to
the hooters.
American Legation Exposed.
The American is the most exposed lega-
ton. lying outside the main quadrangle of
the quarter. The American end of Lega-
tion street is the only Enclosed section.
The legation recently considered putting
up barricades, but not caring to excite
Chinese suspicion. merely depended on
sandbags and barbed wire. which has
now been more effectively rearranged for
defensive purposes. One bullet struck the
American legation wall within few feet
of Secretary Edward L. Williams and
several American women. The American
commandant. Maj. RUSSELL says the
American missions are all we'll supplied
with rifles and are able to defend them
selves.
The American minister, Mr.. Calhoun.
and Mai. Russell at late hour consulted
with the American missions by telephone.
All expressed their preference not to
: leave their own compounds. The Metho-
dists are within block of the legation
quarter and can be rescued easily II en-
dangered.
The Young Mems Christian Association
members have taken refuge In the Ameri-
: can board compound. where a detach-
ment Of American marines reinforces the
missionary garrison.
Fear to Enter the City.
The Presbyterian mission lies to the
northernmost corner of the city. three
miles from the legation quarter. A tele-
phone message informed the legation that
the mission people feared to traverse the
streets because they We're surrounded by
mutinous soldiers. who frequently shot
through the iron bars of the compound
gates
Maj. Russell offered to send detacll-
ment to escort them to the legation but
considered il inexpedient to detach suf-
ficient troops to remain there for their
protection.
Two or three American families have
not been heard from, but 1t is presumed

RULING ON SACCHAR|N
MAY CONTAIN A JOKER
Paragraph Allows Its Use in
Food for Those Who Can
not Eat Sugar.

Has all the virtue of the decision pro-
hibiting the use of saccharin as a food
adulterant been ritiated by that part
of the ruling permitting it's use as a drug
in food products intended for consump-
ton by class of suffering consumers
barred the use of real sugar?
The decision was issued by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture yesterday. Those
opposed to the use of this chemical agent
suspect a joker. II it is intended as such
it is In the paragraph at the end Of. the
decision allowing the use Of saccharin
in food prepared for those who cannot
use sugar.
The decision. signed by Secretaries VIII
son and Nagel. Secretary MacVeagh dis
pure food board. the saccharin matter
was carefully considered by the referee
board, more commonly known as the
Remsen board. The Remsen board has
established by experimentation that sac
charm in quantities under 3 of gram Is
harmless, but that in larger quantities 1t
produces disturbances of the digestion.
AS saccharin Is used for sweetening
fifty popular varieties of food products
the referee board took the position that
the consumer, II he should eat any con-
siderable assortment Of saccharined food
than 3 &. gram into his system. The
use of saccharin as sweetener is there
fore prohibited altogether.
Then came the loophole. The decision
goes on to say that 1t Is well known
some persons are restricted by their ply
sicians from eating sugar and that sac
charm is often recommended as a sub
stitute sweeting. Therefore it is to be
understood that the decision does not af
feet any classes of food where the pres
ence Of Saccharin is stated on the label,
with the announcement that the food Is
prepared for the use OF those who cannot
eat sugar.
The anti.Saccharin interests say that
this allows a food manufacturer to use
as much saccharin as he chooses, pro-
vided its presence is labeled with the
statement that the food is prepared for
those WHO cannot use sugar
Text of Paragraph.
The permissive paragraph referred to is
as follows:
I'm making this decision we are not
unmindful of the fact that persons suf-
fering from certain diseases may be di-
rected by their physicians to abstain from
the use of sugar. In cases of this kind
saccharn Is often prescribed as sub
stitute sweetening agent. This decision
will not in any manner interfere with
such a use of saccharin.
THE food and drugs act provides that
any substance which Is intended to be
used for the prevention, cure or mitiga-
ton Of disease is drug, and product
containing saccharin and plainly labeled
to show that the mixture is intended for
the use of those persons who, on account
of disease, must abstain from the use of
sugar falls within the class of drugs and
is not affected by this decision

HITS COLOMBIAN COURSE
Panama Canal Seizure Dis
grace to Nation, Declares
Senator Hitchcock.

THE conspiracy which resulted in the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Colombian repub-
lie occurred in the United States, with
the approval of the highest United States
officials, and the spoilation was largely
in the interest of a combination of in
fluential capitalists who controlled the
French Panama Canal Company" de-
clared Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska In
the Senate today.
Mr.. Hitchcock was speaking in support
of his resolution calling upon the Presi-
dent for the correspondence with Colon
bta In connection with the canal. From
this he said he expected the people would
know whether We are honest and Just
and whether the time has not come when
we should act the part of decency, If not
generosity, towards Colombia.
The senator assailed the Washington
governments course and referred to what
he said was q blunt declaration of ex-
President Roosevelt, in a speech recently
delivered in California. that he took the
Canal Zone"
Would Reopen Controversy.
1T is not possible" he said. ito lock up
in official archives the sensational and
disgraceful record OF our treatment of
Colombia, our breach of solemn treaty,
our instigation of an insurrection, our
spoliation of a weak sister republic
It was too late to restore Panama to
Colombia, he declared. because the United
States title to the Panama canal and.
through the influence of the United
States, the existence of the Panama re-
public were settled for all time by inter-
national agreement.
He believed, however, that justice would
not be done until the canal controversy
had been reopened and Colombia's claims
against this government for damages had
been settled by diplomatic arrangement
or through arbitration.
Senator Hitchcock referred to the pend
ing arbitration treaty as likely to lead to
acknowledgements with Great Britain. and
said he would like to know why '.some
Of these associations that are spending
Andrew Carnegie's money and some OF
these orators talking for arbitration UNI
der his pay do not advocate arbitration Of
this claim OF our sister republic.

STOCKHOLM, July 2.-Amer-
lean Olympic athletes are in "a

by Chairman Sullivan that the

Americans and others have been
forced to train in haphazard

up the Swedish authorities and
demanded that his athletes be al

Swedes apologized and complied.
Today the Americans abandon

suburbs and worked out handily
in the stadium. The Britons
were absent however. 1t is
feared the incident will cause a
ruction similar to that which
made the Americans and Britons
bitter rivals in 1908 at London.

We called AL a boob. We call

hero. To uphold the honor of
the Hicks family, he faced the
