Former Chinese Premier Clever1y
Dodges an Assassin.

Tfen Tsin, July 5.-Tang Shao Vi,
the former premier in the Chinese
republican cabinet, cleverly gave an
alleged assassin the slip today and re-
mains here for the moment in tempo.
rary safety while his wouldbe slayer is
on board ship on the way to Shanghai
Tang Shao vi with his family already
were on board the steamer when the
former Taoti, Chang Chun, approach
ed and introduced friend named
Wang Cheng Hsiang- The latter
promptly covered Tang Shao vi with
two pistols and demanded to know
why he had run away from Parking.
Tang Shao Yrs explanation was out
wardly well received by Wang Cheng
Hsing, who, however, announced that
he intended to accompany Tang Shao
vi to Shanghai.
Wang Cheng Hsiang then retired to
his berth and as soon as his back was
turned Tang Shao vi and his family
sought safety by slipping off the
steamer and returning to land. The
steamer departed almost Immediately
for Shanghai.

Chicago Live Stock Market

Wall ST., New York, July 5.-STOCKS-
Much of the mid-week steadiness in the
stock market was dissipated today. The
selling was distributed among Union Pa
cific, Reading, Steel and Amalgamated,
with weakness most marked. In the lat
ter No especial cause was advanced to
explain the decline which doubtless had
bear assistance. Shares of the grain
carrying roads were inclined to further
Improvement but fell back the counter
movement in the Is more active issues
Bonds were steady.
An irregular tone was manifested by the
stock market at today'S opening. Ameri-
can Tobacco rose two points and Canad-
ian Pacific one point with strength in
Great Northern preferred, Northern Pa
cific, Breeklyn Rapid Transit and Gen
eral Electric; there were declines, how
ever, in Union Pacific, Amalgamated,
Steel and some others.
Fractional advances after the opening
in which Atchison and Reading were con-
spicuous were not held, the market break
ing later on active selling of Union Pa
cific, Steel, Reading and Ama1gamated
Copper.
Some activity in the Can common and
preferred and a slightly hardening in. the
speculative leaders constituted features
of the late afternoon.
The market closed weak. Lowest prices
ruled in the final hour, when fairly wide
selling movement set in. Various spec
iaIties fell off with the leader, some of
the latter making net losses of two points
and more.
