MOVE AGAINST
PRESIDENT YUAN
Chinese Republicans Want,
Immediate Election to
Vote Him Out. ,
SUN YAT SEN MISSING.
Considerable Uncasiness Manifested
Concerning Doctors Safety-De-
mand Jordan's Recall.

Shanghai, Aug. 22.-Republican
leaders started strong movement
today in favor of an immediate ma
tional election. Their plan is to
vote President Yuan Shi kai out of
office. Yuan is only provisional pres
ident. The republicans remark that,
though he talks of calling an election
he shows no signs o: calling it. By
demanding it emphatically they be-
lieve they can force him either to
call one or admit virtually that he
has established a dictatorship.
Undoubtedly the National Assem-
bly's abandonment yesterday of the
impca. l,ment proceedings it had de-
cided to begin against his premier
and war minister was victory for
Yuan. 1t failed to settle anything,
however. The president simply inti-
mated the lawmakers, who, surround
ed by his exccllency's troops and
mindful Of the readiness with which
he resorts to powder, lead and cold
steel when diplomacy fails, realized
that their lives were in his hands and
lacked the courage or foolhardiness,
to defy him.
The nature of the explanation with
which he is said to have Satisfied
the Hupeh delegates that he was JUS
titled in executing their fellow-pri
vincials, the two "Hupeh Generals"
may be judged from the fact that
despite all the pressure be brought
upon them, the members of the as
sembly only agreed to drop the i'm
parchment proceedings if mo further
reactionary acts were committed"
Much uneasiness is felt concerning
DR.. Sun Vat Sen. who was seen at
Chefoo just before starting for Pc
kin and has not since been heard
from Details of the fighting at Wa
Chang are still lacking.
Tien Tsin, Aug. 22.-For a slur-
ring remark to President Yuan Shat
Kai concerning the execution of the
"Hupeh Generals pro-government
newspapers are urging the president
to demand that England recall Sir
John Jordan, its minister at Pekin.
In view of the fact that the gen
erals were condemned to BIZ shot
by court martial, Sir John, it is
said, asked Yuan sarcastically whe-
ther Pekin was under martial law"

CHARGES AGAINST
COL. ROOSEVELT
Former President Does Not
Say he Will Appear Be-
fore Committee.
QUESTION ABSU RD :?
Says He is Ready to Meet Any 9th
er Allegation Made by Penrose Con-
cerning Inquiry.

Wilkes Barre, Pa, Aug. 22.-Col.
Roosevelt was asked today if he
would be willing to appear before the
Senate investigating committee and
reply to Penrose's charges or any
thing else which came in future ses-
sions of the comittee, he said:
"Such question is perfectly absurd.
If you will read my letter to Judge
Parker in 1904, and also kilograms
and letters which I made public last
night, you will have an answer to
your question:
In letters and kilograms to Cortel-
you, given out last night, Roosevelt
informed Cortelyou not to accept any
contribution from Archbold and said
that Cortelyou informed him that no
such contribution had been received.
Wilkes Barre, Pa, Aug. 22.-That
Col. Roosevelt anticipated the state
ments contained in Senator Penrose'S
speech in the Senate yesterday was
shown by the fact that he brought
with him from Oyster Bay texts of
the kilograms and letters which he
quoted in his reply. At the conclu-
sion of his talk to the newspaper men,
the bull moose candidate indicated
that he was ready to meet any furth-
er charges brought forward by Pen
rose or any other charges growing
out of the inquiry at Washington.
If necessary, it is thought that
Roosevelt would be willing to appear
before the investigating committee IN
person. In that event he would eX-
pect corroboration from Cortelyou'
The colonel came to Wilkes Barre,
to attend the twenty-ffth anniver-
sary celebration of the Ordination OF

Z" BIG JACKS !" STORY.
Five Thousand Dollars Reward OFF,
cred For the Capture of Lefty
Louis and Gyp The Blood.

New York, August 22.-Lieuten-
ant Charles Becker, Dago Frank Ci-
rofic, Whitley Lewis, Jack Sullivan, VIM.
Shapiro, five of the seven men indicted
for the murder of Herman ROsenthal
today were to be formally arranged
before Judge Grain Of the Court OF
General Sessions and it was expected
that the defendants all would at
tempt to interpose the same dilatory
objections and motions that counsl
for Becker tried on his arraignment
on the former Indictment
While the pleadings were going on
in one room and the grand jury in
another was investigating the frame
up story of "Big Jack 'Zelig Coron-
er Wineherg in another courtroom
resumed his inquest into the death
of Rosenthal. It was said that the
prosecutor would produce but five
witnesses, not desiring to show his
hand to counsel for the indicted men.
District Attorney Whitman an
nounced that his $4,000 reward for
the arrest Of Lefty Louie and Gyp
the Blood was not open to any police
officer or any one connected with the
department. The district attorney
confirmed the rumor that he received
through the mail a package Of potas.
SUM cyanide but said he thought it
was a joke
New York, Aug. 22.-When the
Rosenthal grand jury rcconvered to-
day after recess, it was to investi-
gate the charges made by Big Jack
Zelig, gunman, that his arrest was a
frame-up on the part of the police
and that the men who took him, Pa
trolmcn White and Steinert, were of
Lieut.. Becker's strong-arm squad.
Counsel for Becker stated that
Zelig's (correct) charge should not
be true, at least in regard to their
client, because the day of Zelig's ar
rest White and Steincrt were work
ing for Inspector Hughes.
With his first open and outspoken
criticism of the police, District At
torney Whitman, who offered $1,000
reward for the arrest of Lefty Louie
and Gyp the Blood or $4,000 for
either man, today said that he hop
ed shortly to be able to increase the
reward to $4,000 for each.
The prosecutor said that 'he could
not escape the conclusion that at
least some members of the police de-
partment have known, if they do not
know now, the whereabouts of these
murderers."
The grand jury, on finishing its Ze-
lig inquiry, probably will recess for
ten days and then take up the in
quiry into the wholesale charges of
police graft that followed in the wake
of the assassination Of Herman
Rosenthal. The stories OF Rose
and Webber implicated high police
department officials as well as Beck
er and the district attorney, in MAX
ing public certain details of Sam
Schepps' confession, said that it cor
rOborated Rose and Webbcr and even
went farther"

Delegates to the Maryland and

Scout movement. The resolution, as
presented, condemned the movement
as fraud through which the boys Of
the nation were simply drilled into
slavish obedience beftting "flun-
kies," but wholly out Of keeping with
American citizens. The resolution
charged that the movement tended to
inject into the boys a spirit OF mill
tarism and willingness to shoot
MAIN, and murder his fellow man at
the behest Of the master class, all un-
der cover Of a corrupted patriotic
spirit so called. In conclusion, the
resolution urged all laboring men not
to permit their sons to join the Boy
Scouts, which movement was de-
nounccd as falacous, degenerating in
character and branded as capital
istic infamy.

WAR IN NICARAGUA.
Report of Capture of General Mena,
Rebel Leader, Confirmed.

New Orleans, La, Aug. Coon
firmation of the reported capture OF
Gen. Mena, leader of the revolution
ary forces in Nicaragua and the cap
ture of the city of Leon by the fede-
rails was received here today by Con-
sui General Juan J. Savalla of Mica
ragua.
Savalla says the liberals and con-
servatives of the Diaz government
will now combine to cruch Mena's fol
lowers, and predicted the revolution
would soon be ended.
Supporters of Gen. Mena here say
they will regard the reports made to
Savalla as untrue until they are con-
firmed by the American minister at
Managua.
Washington, Aug. 22.-That two
Americans were killed when the Mic
aragua rebels surrounded and ami
hilated government soldiers under
Gen. Duron, at Leon, Nicaragua, was
the startling news received by the
State Department today from Amer
ican Minister Weitzel at Managua.
They are man named Phillips and
Harvey Dodd, the latter of Koscius-
co, Miss, ane are reported to have
been killed while wounded and seek
ing refuge in hospital. Weitzel
confirmed all the details of the tragic
slaughter of Nicaragua soldiers and
reports that only few OF Ddron's
men escaped the fate of their fellows
by wearing the enemy's colors. He
declares that the situation in Mica
ragua is growing steadily worse.
Dissentions are now appearing in
the rebel camp on account of the
presidential aspirations of four men.
The quartet who are being doomed
for the presidency are Marcus Mai
rena, Pauline Godoy, Zeledon and
lion pesos worth of alcohol. Amer
sui at Corinto reports that the rebels
have taken towns lying between Leon
and Chinandega among which are To-
Gated a large sugar estate and the
central distillery containing five mil
lion pesos wor tn OF alcohol. Amer
leans and other foreigners in this
section have made urgent requests
for aid from the consul. At the
request of the local authorities ma
rines and sailors were landed from
the gunboat Annapolis and the col,
lier Justin to protect the lives ant
property of Americans and other
foreigners. Twenty-Five American
women and children were taken
aboard the Justin for protection ant
a number of American citizens are
now in the consulate for protection
1t was stated at the State Depart
ment today that no request for IN
demnity for Americans killed in Mica
ragua had yet been made. Each Kill
ling will be investigated separated!
and if the facts in the case warrant
it demands for reparation will be
promptly presented.
A high official of the State DE,
partment said today that he hat
heard rumors that the So-callet
American fruit trust was aiding Gen
Mena in the rebellion, but that the
reports were very indefinite and lack
proof. When the Estrada-Zelaya
rebellion was in progress several
years ago the same charges of per,
nicious activity against the trust were
heard, but lacked confirmation. Var.
ious reports that the trust was aid
ing both Zelaya and Estrada were
received but none Of them was evel
proved.
