Sun Vat Sen Disguised

A similar experience befell me In
HoQolulu, where / spent six months
after leaving Japan. I found many OF
my countrymen there and they re-
ceived me with open arms. They knew
all about my exploits and they also
knew that big price was placed on

In the town of Honolulu held a sort
of levee every day and received let
tiers and reports from my friends, the
members of the reform party, the Kao-
lao-hui. Thence went to San Fran
cisco. and enjoyed sort of triumphal
journey through America, varied by
reports that the Chinese minister to
Washington was doing his utmost to
have me kidnapped and carried back to
China, where well knew the fate that
would befall me-first having my an
kles crushed in vice and broken by
a hammer, my eyelids cut OFF, and.
finally, be chopped to small fragments.
SO that none could claim my mortal
remains. For the old Chinese code
does not err on the side of mercy to
political agitators.

Men Go Under Water and Unlock
Strong Box In the Wrecked
Liner Oceana.

London.-A notable feat was accom-
plished by the divers at work on the
liner Oceana, which sank on East
bourne, after collision. There was
specie amounting to over $780, 900
In the strong room, and naturally the
chief aim Of the divers was to secure
this at the earliest possible moment.
Two divers went down and remained
below the surface for about an hour.
They found that the steamer, which
carried away two of the masts last
week, also caused considerable dam
age aft to the tunnels ard other parts
of the liner.
An enormous quantity OF wreckage
from the masts, davits and deckhouse
had crashed down on the deck. Never
theless, one of the divers at work in
the forepart of the vessel managed to
reach the captains cabin. There he
recovered the keys of the bullion
room, opened all the matches. and sue

upon six thousand mile trip without
a cent and forced to make his way as
best he could as the result of a sweet
hearts quarrel; even spending time
behind the bars, in one instance in
Weld county, where he was held as
a suspect in the $4,000 post Office rob-
berry which occurred here some
months ago-this in brief covers a
year which proved the most exciting
in the life of George Won Schulz
Sturm. Sheriff S. ]. .McAfee, who ar
rested Sturm here, has received a
draft payable on New York bank for
Greeley man who befriended Sturm
while the latter was in the Weld
county Jail and fastened, by this
means. the day upon which Sturm
came to his own.
Sturm was arrested here several
months ago, a few weeks after the To-
cal post Office had been robbed of
$4,000 worth of stamps. He was sus-
pected of being one of the trio be-
lieved to have turned the trick.
Sturm only laughed at the charges,
and said it could easily be proved
that he was not the man. When he
was instructed to go out in the Jail
yard and have his picture taken, in
stead of demurring as does the usual
crook he only laughed and readily
consented. The camera caught him
with the usual smile on his face
AT that time he gave the name of
Harry Brown, at the same time ad-
hitting that it was only an assumed
one.
With the draft which the sheriff re-
ceived was a brief note:
Please give this draft, which have

you straight story, sheriff, and hope
you believe me now"
The little" he added for interest,
the sheriff says, is just ten times the
sum the Greeley man loaned him.
The story he told the sheriff was
this:
That he Is the only son of well-to-
do parents living in Germany: that
he had a quarrel with his sweetheart
In San Francisco; that she told him
he was worthless and If dependent
upon his own resources and brains

RIFLE KILLS UNDER WATER
Divers May Now Protect Themselves
With New Invention From
Deep Sea Monsters

Berlin. Germany German inven-
tor has come to the aid of the work

threatened by sharks and. other mon
sters of the sea, Harper's Weekly re-
marks. Hitherto the diver In danger
Gus water has had to rely for his
safety on the use Of the knife, or,
falling in that, upon a quick return
to the surface.
The German has invented r1f1e
that can be fred under water and is
designed for the complete arming OF
the diver. The strange feature about
fhis device is that it fires not bullets,
but water, which is driven with such
force that it penetrates with remark
able power. Indeed, it is claimed that
the inventor has pierced armor plate
of ordinary thickness with the water
let from this strange weapon.
The water rifle has stout barrel
and is loaded with cartridge en-
cased in India rubber. 1t is worthy
of note. In this connection, that In
the sixties experiments were made
with a submarine rifle firing small
explosive projectiles by means OF
compressed air, but the invention
never got beyond the experimental
stage.

THE PRE-coNVENTION FUNDS

Interesting light is thrown on the
pre-convention campaign for the dem
ocratic presidential nomination by
the testimony taken from the man
ayers of the respective candidates.
| by the senate special committee at
Washington on Monday.
1t will be remembered that, all in
the family, as it were, quite a spirited
| controversy waged between the Viii
son and anti-Wilson papers in this
state. The Tribune. among other anti
Wilson papers, called attention to the
large sums being spent in behalf of
the Wilson candidacy and the Wilson
papers fairly hooted the idea, declar-
ing that the Wilson management had
barely enough change to buy post
age stamps for its campaign litera-
ture. Mr.. McCoombs, the manager of
the Wilson campaign, testified before
the committee Monday that S20S, 1913
was the sum spent in behalf OF the
nomination OF Governor Wilson
more than the combined sums spent
in behalf of the Underwood and Har-
mon candidates.. The Underwood
pre-convention campaign cost $52, 600
and the Harmon campaign 1922, 900.
Thomas Fortune Ryan was the larg-
est contributor to these latter funds.
giving the larger share of each. There.
was an interesting list of contrib
utors to the Wilson fund, and $4,000
OF it came from trustees OF Prince
ton University.
The contention of the Tribune and
the other papers which opposed the
nomination of Governor Wilson as to
the liberal funds with which that can
didacy was supplied is thus establish
ed as having been correct. Now, that
the fight is long since over, however,
nothing is 70 be gained by threshing |
over the issues then debated. 1t is !
enough to say thta each campaign |
cost more than a pre-convention cam
paign, more than a contest among /
democrats for the presidential nomi- |
nation of the party should have cost
and the same is true, though in a |
much more aggravated degree, of the
republican pre-convention campaigns.

in limiting the presidential office to
two terms showed that he was dan
gerous man and should not be trusted
to overthrow a tradition that had be
come sacred to US. He told how he
had strengthened the hands of the
steel trust in the Tennessee coal
deal, and showed the part Roosevelt
played in that transaction. He asked
what could be expected of him in the
matter of white supremacy when he
frowned on negro delegates from the
south and smiled on those from the
north.
He lauded Mr. Bryan for the part
he played in the Baltimore convention
and said that Woodrow Wilson was
splendidly equipped for the office OF
president of a great and progressive
party-that his heart-throbs beat in
sympathy with the heart-throbs OF the
common people, and that he was in
full accord with their hopes and as
piratiOns. That by his gigantic strug-
gle against the trusts ne was elected
president of New Jersey a state
known as the mother OF trusts; that
he got behind Jim Smith and made
it impossible for him to ever again
be elected to the United States senate
from that state
He said that when president Wood
row Wilson, inspired by the same mo-
tives, would display the same nerve
as when elected governor OF New Jer-
sey, and his election would be the
fulfllment of democratic hopes.
