Yuan. Shi Kai, Is Story.
REPORT Is NOT CONFIRMED
Attempts. to Verify News in PekIn,
Where Tragedy Was Reported as
Occurring. Brings, Only Indefinite
Answers.

San Francisco, Aug. 20.-Dr. Sun
Vat Sen, who melted and led the
revolution in China, was assassinated
in Pekin, according to an uncon-
flrmed report in local Chinese circles.
He was done to death by soldiers
supposedly acting under orders from
President Yuan Shi Kai for whom
Sun Vat Sen, acting as provisional
president, willingly withdrew.
The two enterprising Chinese
newspapers here say they have re-
ceived no news of the attack upon
DR.. Sun.
Nevertheless the report has been
conveyed to DR.. Suns children, who
are on the Pacific coast. 1t caused
great excitement when placarded in
Chinatown and several cablegrams
were sent to Pekin to which no def
mite answers have been received.
The report persists. 1t is added
that DR.. Sun when he met his death
had arrived at Pekin from Shanghai.
He sought to prevent excuses by the
republican troops because of the exc
cution of Gen. Chank Chen WI and
Weng Wi. The execution was order
ed by Yuan Shi Kai, it appears, who
now breads that he will be i'm
peached by the advisory council or
assassinated.

New York Detectives Beaten by
District Attorney.
GAMBLER TELLS HIS STORY
Prosecutor Whitman Declares He Sc

Rosenthal Murder.

detectives tried to kidnap Sam
Schepps from the custody of the dis
trict attorney on Monday They fall
ed, and the little gambler who is re-
garded as one of the most important
witnesses in the coming expose of the
police system" in connection with
the grand jury investigation of the
murder of the gambler, Herman Ros-
enthal, is still in charge of Mr.. Whit
mans men In the West side police sta
ton.
District Attorney Whitman met
Schepps at Albany. On the train two
detectives made a demand for the lit
tie gambler in the name of the police
department. Mr.. Whitman replied
that he would indict the first man who
laid hands on Schepps and the detec-
tives left the train.
Schepps was taken off the train at
the Grand Central station. At Forty
third street Captain Giles and Detec-
tives Dietrich, Hauser, Mcmahon and
Gallagher all Central Office men, at
tempted to drag Schepps from taxi
cab but Whitman interfered and the
gambler was brought safely to cell
in the same balcony with Louis Libby
and Jack Sullivan, better known as
Jacob Reich.
On the way from Albany Schepps
talked freely with the district attor-
ney. At the close of this conversation
Mr.. Whitman said:
when Schepps came before me, /
said to him: 'Schepps, tell me your
story in plain language, no frills and
no jokes He proceeded to do SO as
best he could. have secured all the
confederation of the confessions now
in my possession that expected.
This will clear up and strengthen sew
eral vital points"
1t was learned that Schepps admit
ted that he saw the murderers paid
for killing Rosenthal. He declared
that he was fully familiar with all the
details of the murder plot. He accused
Police Lieutenant Becker of being i'm
plicated in the plot His statement is
said to support perfectly that of Rose,
Weber and WALTON, on whose confes-
sions indictments have, been asked
from the grand jury.
Representatives of the district at
torney's office have discovered $4,000
more deposited to the credit of Beck
er. This brings the total deposits of
Becker up to $4,000. Fourteen bank
ers have been summoned to appear
before the grand jury in connection
with these deposits.
A plot to blow up the west side pris-
on and thus kill Jack Rose, "Bridgy"
Weber, Harry WALTON and Sam
Schepps, the principal witnesses
against Becker, was revealed to the
police by a letter received by Assist
aant Prison Keeper Levy. The letter
insist that gamblers are behind the
plot, and that men are working on
tunnel to put the dynamite beneath
the prison. Careful search by the po-
lice failed to reveal any such tunnel,
but a special guard was posted around
the prison.
