CH|NA'S CHOICE
RECEIVES NECESSARY VOTES IN
PARLIAMENT FOR PRESl-
DENT.
FIRST ELECTION IN REPUBLIC
SINCE FORMATION.
Successful Candidate Is Fifty-four
Years Of Age and Has Been In
Public Life for Many
Years.

Picking, China-Yuan Shi Kai was
Monday elected president of the Chi
nese republic for a term OF fve
years.
He received the necessary two
thirds vote of the united houses OF
parliament on the third ballot.
On the final ballot, Yuan Shi kal
received 5O7 votes, only one more than
the necessary two-thirds. Ii Huen
Heng, provisional vice president, re-
ceived 179 votes. The other ballots
we're scattered among 20 minor candi-
dates. The announcement of the re-
suit was received with enthusiasm.
The proceedings lasted II hours.
In all parts of the country the great
est interest was manifested in the
proceedings-the first presidential
election in the history of the new re-
public. The new president will hold
Office for five years.
Yuan Shi Kai is "a years old. He
was born in the province of Ho-Nan
in 1859. During most of his adult
life he has been in official life. AT
the age of % he was sent with Chi
nese detachment to Korea and three
years afterward became Chinese i'm
perial resident at Seoul. He remained

On his return to China, he occupied
various provincial posts until 1902
when he became consulting minister
to the government.

Another Quake at Panama.

Panama-Another earthquake occur
red on the Isthmus at 5:06 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. 1t was almost
equal in intensity to the shock OF
Wednesday night, it's duration being
from 10 to Is seconds.
The recording instruments indicated
that the shock covered practically the
same area of that of Wednesday with
the central point of the disturbance
about 10 miles from Panama city.
Buildings we're severely shaken, but
apparently no damage was done be
yond the falling of plaster and the
opening of slight assures in few
structures.
Reports from the canal zone Of
flcials indicate that neither the locks
nor any part of the canal suffered In
any degree whatever.

granted. The d. u. II. lost poihe
when the supreme court reversed the de-
cision of the Wayne circuit court In
the case of Emily Lunds who was
thrown to the pavement as she start
ed to board car. The woman
brought suit against the company but
was awarded no damages in the low
er court. A new trial has been order
ed.
Damages to the amount of $1,000
against the village of Portland and the
Citizens Telephone company was af'
firmed. John Sykes, aged Is, was kill.
ed by coming in contact with a live
wire which was hanging from pole
and the jury in the circuit held both
the city and the telephone company
liable. John Sykes, ST., was awarded
$1,000 damages.
In one way at least, the working
mems compensation and employers
| liability law has reduced the work OF
the supreme court, as there are com
paratively few personal injury cases
arising from accidents to employees.
| Some of the cases which are now being
deciding were started before the new
law went into effect.

Imprisoned Miner Is Freed.

Centralia, Pa--Thomas Toshesky,
who was imprisoned in drift in a
coal mine by a sudden rush of ore
eight days ago was rescued Saturday
by the men who had been laboring
night and day since he was imprisoned
to achieve that object.
Toshesky tainted when the walls of
his prison were burst open and it was
at first thought that the joy of being
free had proved too much after his
ordeal. He soon recovered, however,
and was removed to his home. The
miners haid is slightly tinged with
gray as the result of his experience,
but he is otherwise unhurt and physi'
clans say he will be fully recovered
in few days.

May Revise Party Rules.

Washington-The republican nation
al committee will meet in Washing
ton Tuesday, December 16, to confer
on party matters and to take any &C
ton which may be deemed advisable.
The decision TO call the national
committee results from the repeated
requests Of republican leaders that
an opportunity be given to revise the
rules of the republican party. The
principal changes demanded are in
the basis of representation from the
southern states at national conven-
tions, and in the method of electing
delegates from states that have pri-
mary laws covering that subject.
