YUAN A PRISONER IN
HOURLY FEAR OF DEATH

= LONDON, May 23.-The Daily Tele-
graphs Pekin correspondent cables
that confidential negotiations between
the leaders of the Kuo-ming tang, the
Southern Radical party, and the Pro-
visiona1 Government have resulted in
compromise on the i've power loan
and a Parliamentary committee has
been appointed to supervise its ex-
penditure. He adds:
"Yuan-shi-k'ai accepted the inev-
table none too soon. Although he
commands 10000 troops and foreign
opinion wrongly believes him to be
master of the situation, he is vir-
tually a prisoner in the Forbidden
City, not daring to move owing to ter
rorist threats. He must now realize
that China must be governed consti-
tutionally. Unless he does so he will
sign his own death warrant"

NEWARK CARPENTER HAS
THRILLING DEATH ESCAPE

None the worse after his thrilling
mishap, 125 feet above the East river,
William o. Beltle, carpenter, of so
Wakeman avenue, this city, is rest
ing up at his home today, preparatory
to resuming the work that nearly
ended disastrously for him.
Beltle was erecting an extension to
scaffold around the mechanism of
a coal hoist of the Pennsylvania rail-
road at the foot of Front street, Long
Island City, late yesterday afternoon,
| when his overails caught in some
shafting overhead. He was whirled
around several times and then
dropped to the floor. Had he fallen
foot or two to the right, he would
have slid off into the river 125 feet
below.
Although his clothes had been
stripped from him in his flight about
the shaft he was conscious and able
to walk when his fellows reached
him. He walked with help to the
elevator, was lowered from the scat
fold and then went to st. Johns
Hospital. Later he insisted upon
going home. It was reported at first
that his ribs and spine were broken,
but Beltle didn't believe it, so he
rode to Newark on the train and
walked to his home and found he
was correct.
Smiling in bed, Beltle. today told
how thrilled he was when he felt
himself going around in the air.
Suddenly l remembered how mar
row the platform was and how like
ly it was that I'd be shot over the
coal barges and into the river; then
1 hit the solid planking and the ex-
hilarating dream was over" laughed

In speaking of the shipment of
meats to this country from Australia,
Mr.. Richards said:
I'VE are prepared to ship all kinds
of meat from Australia to the United
States, and an unlimited amount Of
butter just as soon as we find it can
be cared for. We can place Austria
liam meat and butter on this market,
at present transportation rates. SO
that IT will sell at good profit, at a
considerably lower figure than the
prevailing rates"

PROBE OF
B|GOTED REMARKS
Knights of Columbus Ask In
vestigation of School Board
Incident.

Mayor Louis NJ. Brock. of Kearny,
today declined to make any statement
concerning an investigation asked by
Kearny Council No. 402. knights of
Columbus, of West Hudson, into
statements made at meeting
Wednesday night by members Of the
Kearny Board of Education, who ex-
pressed a preference for Protestant
teachers in the public schools in the
town. The resolution requests the
mayor to ask the resignation of the
members in question should it be
proved that they made the state
ments.
The mayor admitted today that he
had read newspaper. accounts Of the
meeting but declared he had formu-
lated no plan of procedure. The reso-
lutions passed last night by the
Knights of Columbus were read to
him and he said he would discuss the
matter as soon as he had formally
received a copy of them.
The resolutions, as passed last night
are as follows:
Whereas, According to an article
published today in a Newark !
|. newspaper stating the proceedings
of a meeting of the Kearny Board
of Education held last night, three
members or majority of the said
board, stated that in their opinion
no teachers but those of the
Protestant faith should be ap-
pointed; be it !
Resolved, That we, the members
of Kearny Council No. 402,
| knights of Columbus, of West
Hudson, protest the unjust dis
elimination against teachers of
the Catholic faith by the Board
of Education of Kearny, and
Resolved, We hereby petition
Hon. Louis NJ. Brock. Mayor of
Kearny, to investigate and ascer-
tain whether or not the article is
correct and If so to request the
resignation of members holding
such bigoted and undemocratic
| views.
The resolution was introduced by
Edward ]. Gaffney, of Kearny, and
was unanimously passed. About 175
members were in attendance.
That he meant no slur on Catholic
teachers when he declared that he
preferred Protestant teachers in the
Kearny public schools, was declared
last night by School Commissioner
George Alexander. vice-president of
the board.
81 favor religious training in the
public schools and think the Bible
should be taught there" said Mr.. AL
exander. MY understanding is that
a Catholic cannot conscientiously
teach the Bible, and that is probably
the chief rtason for my expressed
preference for Protestant tutors"

China is tossing restlessly in her
age-long sleep and shows signs of
awaking. This situation appeals to
the United States only indirectly; but
most of the land-hungry European
nations are waiting at her bedside
and are guessing as to her present
pathologic condition and her outlook
for future health and strength.
Competent judges near at hand
agree that if China were to produce,
soon, some great leader, he would be-
come the centre OF capitalization
for the saturated solution of loyal
sentiment, which is latent in this
mighty people. Lacking such liv-
ing leader, the Chinese may call up
on Confucius, and unite the several
diverse provinces under potent
bond of religious fervor. However,
the influence of the great ethical
teacher may have waned during the
past century, he has not become a
negligible quantity, as the recent
surprising observance Of his birth
day (September 2O fully attests.
About a week before that date a cir
cular letter was sent to all the gov
ernors of provinces, setting forth the
virtues of Confucius.
The intention was that this state
ment should be presented to local
magistrates, and by them be brought
before the plain people. Thus way
would be prepared for the subsequent
elevation of the great and honored
sage as the true leader of the new
