Separate Husbands and Wives
and Cause Much Worry
for All Concerned.
TWO HIDE IN sTRAwPILE
Government Troops Finally Rout
Rebels After Two Thousand Natives
Are Killed.

Pekin, Nov. 29-The sufferings and
anxieties endured by the little colony
of American and Norwegian mission
aries captured and for many days held
prisoners by Chinese bandits at Tsao
Yang, were described graphically today
by the Rev. II. $. Fauske, just arrived
here after long overland journey from
the scene.
The bandits, under the notorious
"White Wolf, took Tsao- Yang by sur.
prise, Fauske said, and occupied it with
no more than trifling skirmish.
The mission was raided September 20.
The bandits did not actually maltreat
the missionaries, but they separated
husbands and wives and, as neither
knew the others tate, they suffered
agonies of fear for one another,
Battle Is waged.
When troops finally arrived from
Hankow and demanded the towns sur
render, "White Wolf" promptly re.
fused and battle began at once. Fear
ing the bandits would kill them in re'
venge for having been attacked, Fauske
and the Rev. George Holm, an Ameri-
can, hid in straw pile in native
house.
Here they remained for three days
with neither food nor water Then they
were found by Wang, friendly Chi
! nese, who kept them supplied with both
which lasted for several days longer.
The bandits often thrust their bayonets
through the strawpile, several times
narrowly missing Fauske.
II was not until after the govern
ment troops had vanquished the ban.
dts and occupied the town that the
missionaries and their wives were re-
united.

Attempt to Seriously Hurt

Public Men Guarded.
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1nn.I


London Nov. 29,-Scotland Yard was
in genuine panic today over a rumor
that the militant suffragettes have de.
cided on series Of some new form of
demonstrations, even more sensational
than anything in the past.
Though the reports were very vague,
so far as the public was concerned, it
was the general impression that the
police have beer given a pretty defi-
mite intimation as to what the mill.
tants have in mind, for they seemed
decidedly more worried than a mere
general threat would have warranted.
One story was that they suspected an
attempt to wreck some historic public
building. Another was that they feared
the attacks on public men were about
to be made with a view Of inflicting
more serious injury than hitherto has
been attempted.
women Are watched.
Every woman Of prominence among
the militants was under rigid surveil-
lance, and police guards were notice
able about the residences Of cabinet
ministers and parliamentary leaders,
One reason given for the expected
increase in militant strenuosity was
seen in Chancellor of the Exchequer
Lloyd Georges recent statement to a
suffragette delegation that there was
no hope of the passage Of "votes for
women" bill at the present session Of
parliament Mrs. Pankhurst's return
from the United States with big sum
of American money was also counted
on to stimulate the campaign.

the special interests controlled
the second commission appointed
by Gov. McGraw and succeeded in
changing the harbor lines, so as
to leave Railroad avenue free to
purchase. He charged the North
ern Pacific, Great Northern, the
Yesler estate and one or two 9TH
ers with controlling the whole wa
terfront of Seattle, and that SINH
lar conditions existed in other
cities. That all this property be-
longs to the state, Houser con-
tended, has practically been de-
cided by supreme court deci-
sion to the effect that when once
a harbor line is established it can
not be amended except by a con-
stitutional amendment, and that
therefore the McGraw commits
sions action was null and void.
Il suppose this McGraw COM
MISSION" said Houser, did not
think the railroads and their
dock subsidiary companies needed
any more than Railroad avenue,
or they would have extended the
unreserved area to the present
deep water line, where the docks
now extend" He then traced the
growth of business which necessi-
tated the lengthening of docks
and how the legislature of 1893
permitted the rest of the reserved
area to be leased to the abutting
owners, the waterfront monopoly.
These leases, Houser said, paid a
rental of only one per cent of the
appraised value of that day. To-
day, the Northern Pacific pays the
state for four docks approximate
ly 500 per year, Houser cited as
an instance. The Coleman dock
pays $79.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 23.-Directly
charging what is known as the
McGraw harbor commission of
1893 with having been created for
the purpose of stealing Seattle's
waterfront from the ownership of
the state, and with the consum-
nation of the theft. with the ex-
istence of a waterfront monopoly
in the state which has unlawfulIy
mulcted the people of the state
through the Seattle port alone of
5000, 900 in the year of 1912,
and proportiOnate amounts in 9TH
er years, Representative Paul w.
HOuser of King, city attorney of
Renton, caused the greatest sem
sation of the present session
Wednesday, when he asked for "a
committee of five to investigate
his charges.
Rep. Sims, republican floor
leader, moved his resolution be
printed, and after several speech
es, including a lengthy but elo-
quent argument by Houser
against delay and for immediate
action, the house voted, on a mo-
tion by Zednick of King to make
Houser's resolution a special or
der of business at 2:15 today.
Houser reviewed at some de-
tail the establishing of the Harbor
lines In Seattle. He told of the
first commission, the Semple COM
mission, which reserved all of
Railre nd avenue in the reserved
harbor area, which the state, ac-
cording to the constitution, was
not permitted to sell. He then
charged that after the courts had

20 years old. He held the wit
ness stand the entire morning.
Miller himself cross questioned
one witness Wednesday after
noon, Thomas ID. Page, former at.
torney. was on the stand, and
Miller and he banded hot words
while the court was repeatedls
forced to call both men back to
the real issue.
After Miller had asked Pages
nationality and the witness had
replied that he is an Indian. Miller
asked, as he bitterly added, land
you believe in an Indians re-
venge, - What do you think of
the defendant"
Meaning yourself?" retorted
Page.
Yes, SIR" said Miller, nettled.
Then, sir, l will say that /
know you to be thief and a
murderer" fairly shouted the
witness. "You exposed all your
skillful work to me-told me you
watched the newspapers constant
ly, that you studied your business
carefully, and that that business
was burglary. You said you
studied people and that you
could tell where a man hid his
money by his nationality. You
said you were a burglar-and
you told me yourself that you
killed Mcmahon"
Miller leaped to his feet and
stood close to the witness, hiss
ing words of wrath. He is
powerfully built man; almost a
giant, and his eye is cold gray
and glittering. Page moved un-
easily in his chair, trying to
smile and when the court could
make his voice heard he shouted
to Miller, Stand back there!"
