Fight Faith
OF Confucius
STATE RELIGION OF CHINA Oh
JECT OF GREAT STRUGGLE
OPENED AT PEKIN.

PEKlN, Nov. 2S.-A league for tho
purpose Of opposing the adoption OF
Confuciaaism as the state religion OF
China was organized here at meet
ing held pt the Young Mems Chris
tian association. Those present in-
cluded representatives of Mohamme-
danism, Toaism. Buddhism, Roman
Catholicism and Professionalism.
The constitution adopted by the
Chinese parliament made no provj-
sion for any state religion, but a
presidential mandate promulgated to-
day evidently anticipates the selec-
tion of Confucianism. whose adher-
ents have been laboring sedulously
for some time with the president.
The Confucian revival movement
has been led by DR., Chen Huan-
Changa doctor Of philosophy Of tn
University OF Columbia and mem''
Der Of The Hanlin Academy OF China
He expresses the conviction that Il
China Is to be saved from political
ruin and moral anarchy, reverence
for his cOuntry's sagCs must be re-
stored.
President Yuan sht-kai, whose
mandates arc now regarded as equiv
alcnt to the Imperial edicts of the for
mer era, describes the sayings Of Con-
fucius as "a doctrine of uneQualled
wisdom, which is recognized as such
by many foreigners as well as Chit
ncse, deep as the ocean. sufficient al
though the ages, change, permanent
as the sun and The moon that cross

DECISION IN
PAVE. CASE
IS DELAYED
No Action Likely Till After First
Of the Year---Motion for New
Trial for SCOTS is
Denied

Special TO the Daily Express.
Lawton, Okla, Dec 15.-Contrary to
expectations, Judge johnson of the
district court did not announce his de-
cision Saturday on the pending motion
in. the Chickasha paving case. which
was argued in Chickasha on Saturday,
December 6. Judge johnson stated
that in all probability he would not
render his decision until after the first
OF the year.
The motion for a new trial on be-
half of +. j. Scott and Annie Scott,
who weer convicted of manslaughter
in the second degree at an earlier day
of the district court was on Saturday
overruled by Judge Johnson.
The motion was lengthy one COW
ering many pages of typewriter mat
ter Argument on behalf Of the mo-
tion was begun by Attorney John
Thomas and he was followed on behalf
of the state by Attorneys T. B. Orr.
John Fain and w. c. Henderson, all Of
whom presented facts resisting the mo-
ton Reply was then made by Attor-
ney J. L. Michalson and he was fol-
lowed by Attorney Thomas, who closed
for the defendants. The points es-
pecially urged by the attorney far the
defendants were that there was no evil
dence produced on behalf Of the state
to connect Anna e. Scott with the
actual killing of George Norton. And
on behalf of defendant, J, +. Scott, il
was urged that the instructions we're
such as to deprive him OF the right OF
self defense. Another objection raised
was the refusal of the court to give a
special instruction in which it was
asked to instruct the jury that if Anna
| E. Scott retired from the combat after
firing the first shot she should be ac
quilted.
At the conclusion Of the argument
the motion for a new trial was refused
and the defendants were sentenced, ac
cording to the verdict returned by the
jury T. J. Scott was sentenced to TIVE
years in the penitentiary and Anna E
Scott to a year in the county Jail. Al
exception was taken to the ruling anl
sentence and an appeal prayed AM
