YUAN SHI KAI IS
HEAD OF REPUBLIC
Late Imperial Premier Elected
President Of China.

Marking, China, Feb. 16.-The ma
tional assembly unanimously elected
Yuan Shi Kai president of the repub.
lie and then decided that the provi
sional capital shall be Marking.
In the letter to the assembly, in
which he offers to lay down the Office
Of chief executive, DR.. Sun says:
"Yuan Shi Kai has declared that he
adheres Internationally to the nation
al cause. He would surely prove a 10y,
al servant of the state. Besides this
Yuan Shi Kai is a man of constructive
ability upon whom our united union
looks with the hope that he will bring
about the consolidation Of its interests
The happiness OF our country depends
upon your choice. Farewell"
The national assembly afterwards
passed a resolution paying a great
tribute to DR.. Sun, as follows:
Such an example Of purity of pur
pose, of se~lf-sacrifice, Is unparalleled
in history. 1t was solely due to his
magnamity and modesty that North
ern China was won over.

five MEN DIE ON
SAME SCAFFOLD
Executed While Counsel Plead
for Further Delay.

Chicago, Feb. 17.-Five murderers
were hanged in the county Jail here
while counsel were vainly trying to
secure a stay order on the ground that
the condemned men were insane. Four
Of the men were Frank Shiblawski,
twenty-one years old; Ewald Shiblaw-
ski, his brother, tw~enty-four years old;
Phillip Sommerling, aged thirty-four,
and Thomas Schultz, nineteen years of
age, slayers of Fred w. Guelzow, Jr.,
a truck farmer, who was held up and
murdered in cold blood while he was
returning to his home in the outskirts
Of the city last October. Thomas
Jennings, a negro, was the fifth man
hanged.
The Shiblawski brothers were the
first to mount the scaffold and the
drop scarcely had fallen when a bailiff
from the superior court rushed into
the Jail Office and summoned Jailer
Davis to appear before Judge McKin-
ley.
The command was not obeyed and
instead Chief Deputy Sheriff Peters
telephoned to the Judge that two of
the men had been hanged and that
the other executions would proceed
unless a formal writ prevented.
No writ was issued and Sommer-
ling and Shultz followed their com.
panions in crime on the gallows.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Adjutant Gen.

on the retired list on his own applica.

This precludes the possibility of a
courtmartial and quashes all charges
against him. President Taft approved
General Ainsworth's application be,

years of service.
Friends of General Ainsworth in the
house of representatives, who resent,
ed the charge that the adjutant gen
eral had been surreptitiously giving
information to the military affairs
committee, were planning to institute
a thorough investigation into the war
department, Chairman Hay of the
committee said that so far as he was
concerned the officers decision ended
the agitation in congress.
The house, however, disclosed its in.
terest in the controversy by adopting
amendments to the army bill.
Mutual friends are said to have pre-
vailed upon General Ainsworth to take
the course he did. His communica-
ton was carried to the war depart
ment by Senator Warren of Wyoming,
chairman of the senate committee on
appropriations, but formerly chair.
man Of the senate committee of mill
tary affairs.
This letter was submitted to Acting
Adjutant General Mccain. 1t passed
successfully through the hands of
General Leonard Wood, chief of stat.
and Secretary Stimson and finally was
submitted to the president.
Secretary Stimson instructed Gen.
eral Wood, as chief OF staff, to issue
the necessary official order. This di.
rected that General Ainsworth VS.
officially retired upon his own appii-
cation and instructed him to proceed
to his home. The order closed with
the words, The travel directed is
