TO ABDICATE
THE THRONE
Crisis is Reached in Chinese
Affairs at Picking
RETIREMENT TO JEH0L
Position of Yuan Shi Kai-The Powers
Believe That He Is the One
Strong Man at the
Capital.
RETIREMENT TO JEHOL

Marking, Jan l5.-The abdication OF
the Chinese throne at Picking has been
practically decided on and the retire
ment to Jehol will take place almost
Immediately. A prolonged meeting OF
the principal members of the govern.
ment Saturday afternoon partly ar
ranged the details for the abdication.
Owing to the growing disorders in the
provinces, the Manchu princes OF the inn
perial clan, the Manchu officials and the
soldery agree that this is the only
course open to the throne.
The empress dowager, recognizing that
the government is powerless without
foreign assistance financially, of which
there is no hope, has asked Yuan Shi
Kai to conclude the best possible ar
rangement relative to the retirement OF
the imperial family. Premier Yuan,
Hsu Shin Chang, vice-president OF the
privy council, and other government
leaders met Saturday afternoon and dis
cussed the best means of providing for
the emperor and the empress dowager
and also outlined the necessary com
munication which will be made to the
republicans. The premier intends to re-
main in Picking and maintain control,
pending final arrangements with the rev
olutionists.
II is understood that the leading pow
ers are ready TO support Yuan Shi hai
because he is the one strong leader capa-
BILE OF graphing with the situation, espe-
eially in view Of the discord among the
Republican leaders. Dispatches received
Saturday from the provinces report
many murders and the looting and burn
ing Of houses. Hundreds of women are
committing suicide in fear OF bandits,
who are committing all kinds of afro
eious crimes. The armistice will expire
to-day and it is therefore expected that
abdcation will be completed by that
time. The palace at Jehol has been suifi-
GENTLY restored to accommodate the i'm.
perial encourage.
Saturday was day of intangible and
wild rumors and proposals in the Chr
nese capital, Minister Calhoun cabled to
the state department at Washington. He
said Yuan Shi kai was exceedingly reti.
cent and ii was gathered that some OF
The Manehus had conceived what was
fegaFued Us quite hPiatttt"Die s"iu
ton of the present deadlock. This IL
said to involve the restoration Of peace
upon the basis of monarchy in the
north and a republic in the south OF
China, both Of provisional character.
The two ultimately would be merged
into some form of government, its char
acter TO be determined by plebiscite
AT some later date when conditions be-
came tranquil This merger is regarded
as necessary to prevent further divi-
sion of China and the seizure OF the vari-
Gus weakened sections and provinces by
powerful and voracious foreign powers.
The project is regarded at Washington
to be impossible OF execution and 1t IS
believed that another solution OF the
existing situation will soon be found.

TRUSTS SYSTEM A FAILURE.
Brandeis Advocates the La Toilette Bill
as a Preventive.

New York, Jan. l5.-Monopolistic
trusts in this country have failed of sue
cess both in economic and social eff
cheney. Louis d. Brandeis, the Boston
"anti- trust" lawyer. said Saturday in a
speech before the Republican club of
this city.
He denounced the steel trust as a
typical example OF this failure, advocat-
ed the La Toilette bill as a preventive of
the formation OF trust and made a
plea for regulated competition as
against regulated monopoly"
Economically it (the steel trust has
failed to keep pace with the demands OF
the times said Mr. Brandeis. at has
failed to hold Americas proportion OF
the foreign steel markets, as the great
growth OF Germany and England's ex-
port trade proves. II has failed to hold
its own proportion OF the domestic mar
kets. in spite of its additional purchases
of competing plants. 1t has failed TO
maintain its own percentage of earlier
years OF profit on capital invested.
Socially, its record has been even
worse. While it has accumulated for
or disbursed to stockholders in 10 years
over $3.50 100000 in excess of a fair re-
turn upon capital, and has enriched pro-
motors, ii has subjected the laborer TO
grossly excessive toll and deprived him
of industrial liberty"

McNAMARA'S REMARK.
Woman Alleges He Advised McManigal
TO Keep His Mouth Shut

indianapolis, Jan. l5.--One reason
why Mrs. Ortie McManigal, wife of the
confessed dynamiter, was brought to In
dianapolis from Chicago to testify in
the federal grand jury's investigation OF
the dynamite conspiracy, it was learned
Saturday. pertained to the manner in
which John j. Mcnamara was arrested.
While McManigal was being kept Sc
cretly in room at the home of a de-
tective in Chicago last April, plans were
laid to see what Mcnamara would do
if he heard the dynamiter was in trou-
bic. Accordingly Mrs. MeManigal was
sent to visit Mcnamara at the Office of
the international Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers in Indian
apolis and to ask him for financial aid
for her husband. According to the wom-
ans account, Mcnamara gave her $50
and said Tell him to keep his mouth
shut and everything will come out all
right" MeNamara's arrest followed
three days later. No witnesses were
heard before the grand jury Saturday,
adjournment having been taken until
to-day.

VICTORY NEXT YEAR
Approval by Three-Fourths of the State
Legislatures in Sight, Says
Senator Brown.

Washington, Jan. l5.-"It seems abso-
lutely certain that the proposed income
tax amendment to the constitution viii
be approved by the necessary three
fourths of the state legislatures next
year. said Senator Brown of Nebraska,
author of the amendment, Saturday
evening. "The legislatures of several
friendly states win convene next year
and more than complete the requisite
number"
It was explained by Senator Brown
that up to this time thirty-one states
had ratified the amendment. The list
includes New York and Maine. The
legislatures of only eight states meet
this winter-New York, Massachusetts,
Virginia, Mississippi, South Carolina,
Rhode Island, Maryland and Kentucky.
OF these Rhode Island, Virginia and
Massachusetts are the only ones that
have not already ratified the amend
ment.
Gov. Foss has written Senator Brown
that Massachusetts win surely approve
the amendment this winter. Virginia is
regarded as certain to give approval.
The amendment was previously rejected
by a narrow margin. Ii was unanimous
IN accepted BY one branch of the legis-
lature and defeated by one vote in the
other branch.

and Arizona will ratify the amendment

.DO|NGS AT
WASHINGTON
No Work on the Monetary Bill
at This Session
HELD FOR NEXT SESSION
The House Quarrels Violently Over the
Salary of a Messenger-Kellogg
May Become Diplo-
mat.
HELD FOR NEXT SESSION

Washington, Jan. l5.-Although the
monetary commission has made its re-
port and sent along TO Congress its bill,
it has been decided not to do anything
too energetic to push legislation at this
session 1t is felt that it would all be
energy wasted as Congress is in no mood
to consider seriously monetary legisla-
ton. Politics are too engrossing.
The commission and others interested
in monetary legislation feel that the sub
ject is too important to be made the
football of politics which it is believed
the legislation would become if now in
sistentlv urged upon Congress- That
would be sufficient to kill it. IL is
planned, however, to bring it to the
front in the short session beginning IN
December next Ordinarily this is poor
session for important legislation, but yet
it is felt that at this next session more
than at any other session Congress Will
be free from politics, the presidential
election having exhausted that, and, the
issues settled, Congress will be in a mood
to listen to the suggestions that some
thing be done along the lines OF the bill
OF the commission Great care has been
taken SO far to make the bill seem as
bipartisan as possible. Former Senator
Aldrich has wisely refused to permit
his name to become identified with 1t
or to thrust himself too much in the
foreground regarding it. In the Senate
Mr.. Burton is to be the sponsor Of the
bin and in the House Mr.. Pulo, chair
man Of the banking and currency com
mittee, is to father the BILL 1t will
not be given any personal name, but
be simply called the monetary bill.
The House for time quarreled vio-
lently over the failure of the appropria-
ton committee to provide an increase
in the salary OF mere messenger, whose
5000 was not thought living wage IN
Washington. The socialist Representa-
tive Berger. alone had fun over this, say
ing he was for increases in salaries all
along the line in the humber places.
Representative Cooper was especially
ycriferous for the increase mentioned
and he had quite debate with Repre-
sentative Burleson Of Texas, who had
charge of the bill. Personalities flew
thick and fast. Each accused the other
of talking "buncombe.'
The president being unable to find a
place on the supreme bench for Frank
b. Kellogg OF Minnesota, the Standard
oil trust buster, for which place he was
q candidate. thinks he is embassadorial
timber and is entertaining Kellogg 5
name for such distinction. If Kellogg
will listen to such proposal, berth
will be found in some European embassy
for him, though not necessarily Paris.
Some shifting is expected that will
translate an experienced American diplo-
mat into the berth and leave an OPEN
ing for Kellogg, albeit on the face OF
things the shifting seems not an easy
proposition just now, many transfers
having only recently been made.
