FORMER PREMIER SUCCESSOR
YUAN sHI KhI, HOWEVER, WAS
OPPOSED BY CHINESE IN THIS :
COUNTRY AND NANKINe.
RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DESCRIBES
RETIRING EXECUTIVE AS A
GREAT PATRIOT.

Nanking, Feb. 15.-The national as
sembly this afternoon unanimously
elected Yuan Shi Kai president of the
republic and then decided that the
provisional capital shall be Nanking
Dr. Sun Vat Sens resignation of the
presidency of the Chinese republic has
been accepted by the national assem-
bly, here on condition that both he and
the present cabinet hold Office until
the new president and cabinet take
over their duties.
The election of ministers and of the
president took place this afternoon.
In a letter to the assembly, in which
he offers to lay down the Office of
chief executive, DIR. Sun says:
Yuan Shi Kai has declared that he
adheres Internationally to the ma
tfonal cause. He would surely prove a
loyal servant of the state. Besides
this, Yuan Shi Kai is man Of con-
structive ability upon whom our united
nation looks with the hope that he
will bring about the consolidation of
is interests. The happiness of our
country depends upon your choice.
Farewell"
The national assembly afterward
passed a resolution paying great trib-
ute to Dr. Sun as follows:
"Such an example of purity of pur-
pose and self sacrifice is unparalleled
in history. 1t was solely due to his
magnanimity and modesty that north
ern China was won over"
Yuan Shi Kais refusal to come to
Nanking has caused some reaction
here. A section of the members
of the senate declares that it will not
elect Yuan Shi Kai president of the
republic. This opposition to The for
mer imperial premier has been
strengthened by report received here
that Yuan Shi Kai is engaged in seek
ing recognition from the foreign lega-
tions in Peking and that he has re-
ceived some encouragement.

IS RELIEVED FROM HIS DUTIES
WAR SECRETARY SAYS OFFICER
USED LANGUAGE THAT JEoP-
ARDIZED HIS HONOR.
FRICTION OF LONG STANDING
ACCUSED MAN is THOUGHT TO
HAVE FURNISHED MATERIAL
FOR ARMY CRITICISM.

washington, Feb. 15.-Adjutant Gen
eral Fred c. Ainswortn OF the army
has been relieved from duty at the
war department and soon will be or
dered before a court martial. While
the charges have not been framed, ii
is understood they will be based on
conduct to the prejudice of good or.
der and discipline and perhaps insu-
FORMATION.
Serious friction long has existed be-
tween the adjutant generals Office and
the general staff and the crisis came
when Secretary Stimson sided with
the latter. Matters were brought to
an issue by report made last week
by General Ainsworth to the secre-
tary of war in connection with the
muster and pay rolls and Secretary
Stimson felt that the arjutant gen
eral had used language that impugned
his own integrity and fairness as well
as other officers of the department
The record shows tnat General Aims
worth remarked it would be difficult,
If not impossible, to formulate any
statement that would carry conviction
to anyone unmindfui of consequences
or so informed as to the needs of gov
ernment and the public. 1t was as
sumed that he referred either to the
secretary or to the officers Of the
general staff,
Again the adjutant general charac-
terized the staff proposal las mere
subterfuge of the kind that would be
scorned by honorable men," and that
the proponents had betrayed Ia
mentable lack of knowledge"
Secretary Stimson, in a note to Gen.
eral Ainsworth, said that rudeness and
i'll temper had become habitual on the
part of the latter. He also declared
the Ainsworth report to be the culmin-
alton of a series of outbreaks evinc-
ing "such intolerance of insubordina-
ton and such readiness TO impugn
the motives or the intelligence OF
those with whom it is your duty to
work in association as, if uncorrected,
to destroy your usefulness in your
present Office" Regarding the attack
on himself, Secretary Stimson said
he referred the matter to the presi-
dent, who directed General Aims
worths release pending disciplinary
measures.
General Leonard Wood, chief of
staff, has had many clashes with Gen
eral Ainsworth. Colonel H. P. Mccain
has succeeded General Ainsworth.
Although a rupture between the
general staff and the adjutant gen
erals office has been regarded for
some time as inevitable in view OF
the extremely bitter personal rela'
tions that have existed and particu
larly since the rather sensational re
organization scheme reported from the
house committee on military affairs
in connection with the pending army
appropriation bill. today's action o.
the secretary of war and the presi
dent proved decided sensation.
i Although General Ainsworth has re
peatedly denied responsibility or au
thorship for the legislation reported
from the military committee and op
posed by the administration, it wal
believed that he at least was furnish
ing the ammunition for the congress
ional opponents of the war depart
ment's policies.

WILL EMBARRASS STANDARD
DISCONNECTED ASPIRANT FOR
CONTROL OF OIL INTERESTS
is WISE TO THE GAME
DIDN'T OBEY COURTS ORDERS
MINORITY LEADER TO SHOW
THAT BIG TRUST NEVER
REALLY DISSOLVED

st. Louis, Feb. 15.-Beaten, on tn
: face of the returns of the annua
stockholders election, by the STAND
J Rockefeller interests for contro
of the Waters-Pierce Oil company
Henry Clay Pierce and his associates
laid the groundwork today for lega
fight for control.
Through one of the representatives
of the Pierce interests a statement
was given out attacking the good
faith of the Standard interests in com
plying with the decree of dissolution OF
the United States supreme court and
the supreme court of Missouri, oust.
ing the Standard from this state. and
charging that the individuals charged
in the government suit with conspir-
acy in restraint of trade, were try
ing to perpetuate the oil trust in a
new form.
The fight betweee the Pierce and
Rockefeller interests for the control
of the Waters-Pierce company was
taken into court upon writ of man
damus filed by The Rockefeller inter-
ests to compel Ehe tellers appointed
by Pierce to count the ballots offer
ed by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. stock
holders through M. M. Vanburen and
Walter F. Taylor as proxies.
The Pierce representatives charge
that the Standard d-Rockefeller inter-
ests were conspiring not only to
perpetuate the oil trust through the
individual control of the many cor
porations which formerly constituted
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey, but that they were planning
to get control Of the oil business of
Mexico.
! When the attempt was made to
vote, Pierce filed a written protest.
The Standard interests wished to vote
for three directors. Pierce protest
ed against the acceptance of the vote
of the Archbold stock and against the
acceptance of the vote of all other
stock owned by persons confederate6
or allied with Archbold, Rockefeller
and the old Standard Oil.
While the meeting was in session
attorneys for the Standard Oil faction
obtained from Judge Kinsey an alter
native writ of mandamus to compe
the Waters-Pierce tellers to recor(
the votes cast by the Rockefeller in
terest. Judge Kinsey ordered th
defendants to appear in court Satur
day afternoon and show cause VIII,
they should not count the contested
ballots.
The fight between the Standard Oi
interests ond the H. Clay Pierce force
for control of the Waters-Pierce Oi
company was carried into the cour
today by the Stndard Oil company fl
ing a mandamus suit to compel tn
tellers at the stockholders meetin
at the annual election to accept tn
"split stock" votes of the Standar
; faction. The petition of the standar
was granted by the circuit court. Th
petition was directed against alto
neys for Pierce as inspectors at tn
! elections. The polls opened soon a
> ter the mandamus suit was filed.

Perhaps you are suffering in silence perhaps you

anticipate that relief be secured only through
radical surgery but more likely you consider your
case hopeless, or at least susceptible to only tenn
porary relief. Don't despair, even though you
have not been successful heretofore. There may
be health in store for you yel-a useful life of hap
piness and prosperity. visit to the Office will tell.
Surely it is worth the trouble as health is a prime
to almost anything a human being can possess.
Do not be satisfied until you have been
examined by DR.. Hoag. You may be sent away
happy, without treatment, but with advice that
will save you time and money, well as mental
suffering. If you require treatment you will be
treated honestly and skillfully and restored to
health within the briefest time and at the least
possible expense. All patients examined and
treated by me personally.
