CHINESE STUDENT
DEGREES MONARCHY
Wang, of Yale, Sees Grave Dan
gers of EncrOachment in Pro-
posed Government Change.

New Haven, Nov. 14.-Cheng-shu
Wang, president o. the Cosmopolitan
Club of Yale. to-day pointed out the
dangers in the monarchical movement
in China and outlined plans for the
organization Of the country under
monarchy. He said the republic re-
Gently formed has had little chance to
prove its worth, and that an attempt
to form a monarchy at this time may
deprive China Of its influence in case
an international peace congress is
called at the close of the European
war. Mr.. Wang is senior at Yale.
He was sent here under the pro-
visions of the Hay fund, which the
United States "eturned to China after
the Boxer rebellion. Mr.. Wang said:
Supporters 81 :he monarchical move
ment tell US thal the people had not
been thoroughly consulted before the
republican form of government was
adopted that Il had been forced on
the people. If this contention is of any
value, then why should there be such
haste in taking the present step? We
are given to understand that if China
returns TO monarchy it would be a
case of limited monarchy. There was
never limited monarchy before, so 1t
will be case IF another experiment.
"To millions of the Chinese people
the republic appears as an ideal, and as
such il possesses an educating force
and a dynamic quality in influencing
their sentiment. The argument that
with a republican form of government
China is likely to have trouble in elect.
ing a President and that the power Of
the government is likely 20 be less re-
spected than in the case of monarchy
is plausible but rot sound. Searching
the history Of China you will find
enough sad tales of questions of royal
succession.
There are some practical objections
TO the proposed change. Internally
there might be grave uprisings in many
quarters, which will throw the country
once more in disorder. Internal dis
sension may invite external encroach-
ments from some country which has
been looking for such a pretext."

"LANCHORNE BEAUTY"
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Mrs. Petty Found Unconscious
Over Mothers Grave.
fBy Telegraph 70 The Tnbuns

Lynchburg, W. Va, Nov. 14.-Hope
was held out to-day for Mrs. Withers
Petty, formerly Miss Alice Langhorne,
one Of the famous "Langhorne beau
ties" who was found lying unconscious
across her mothers grave ID Presby-
terrain Cemetery with two-ounce vial
supposed 70 have contained chloroform
beside her. Mrs. Petty, after being
picked up by two grave diggers, was
rushed to a hospital in an automobile,
and It was some time before she was
restored to consciousness. Since then
she has refused to give any reason for
her act.
Though her mother has been dead for
thirteen years, Mrs. Petty has never
ceased grieving for her, and it is pre-
sumed that she took the chloroform in
a moment Of intense grief while weep
ing over the grave. She is very promi-
nent here socially.

SAY JOKING CHUM SHOT LAD
Witnesses Assert Victim Ran to Greet
Friend Rrandishing Gun.

Amelio Narcone. fourteen. was shot
and killed last night rs he sat with his
guardian and some Of the latter's
friends at 1882 Ocean Avenue, Ozone
Park. Every available patrolman and
detective in Queens was detailed half
an hour later TO hunt for Domnick
Zello, who. the police say, shot the boy.
According 70 the story told Inspector
Kelly. Zello. who lives AZ 1897 Lawn
Avenue. entered the home Of Francisco
Mayo. the bows guardian. yesterday
afternoon, laughing and joking.
Hold up your hands," he shouted
jovially 20 the crowd in the room as
he brandished revolver. All did ex-
cCpt Ameio. of whom Zello was fond.
The boy ran toward him with his hand
outs,retched for the visitor to shake.
Zello fired. The bullet entered the
boys heart. Zello then fed. The po-
lice are inclined TO doubt the story told
by those who had seen the shooting.

JAPANESE SPEND
A DAY In PRAYER
Emperor, Alone in Hut,
Offers Sacred Rice to the
Spirits of Ancestors.

Kioto, Nov. 14-To-night, alone. I'M
seeh and unheard, in primitive huts Of
thatch and reed, Emperor Yoshihito of
fered a feast of sacred rice to the
spirits of his ancestors and TO the
deities OF heaven and earth, and then
himself partook of the sacred food.
Many Japanese regard this ceremony
as the eliminating and chief rite of all,
since through it the Emperor receives
the confirmation of his hereditary right
to dedication
All activities in the empire were sus-
pended and the day was observed as
holy one. The people for the most part
remained within their houses praying.
The festival was strictly limited to
Japanese.
In Japanese the ceremony is called
"Daijosai," which implies Grand Har-
vest, or Thanksgiving Festival The
ceremony proper was preceded by many
prelminaries, including that of yester-
day, when prayers were offered for the
longevity Of the imperial house, and
the sending this morning of imperial
messengers to each of the 172 shrines
throughout the empire to notify the
spirits of the imperial ancestors that
the grand harvest festival was about TO
begin.
Still another preliminary held in the

HUNGER KILLING
POOR IN MEXICO
Red Cross Doctor Tells Of
Women and Children
Starving in Capital.
FORCED TO COOK

Physician, Back to Make Re"
port at Washington.

Women and children in MEXICO City
of the poorer classes arc starving. Con-
ditions there beggar description" said
Or. Charles J. O'Connor, who has just
returned from Mexico City, where he
was head of the American Red Cross
work. ard is at the Hotel McAlpin.
"The death rate. especially in Mex
ico City" said DR.. O'Connor yesterday,
ais exceedingly high. | have seen
women and children, along with dogs,
digging in garbage piles for a bit Of
food. On the outskirts Of the city |
have seen them living on pigweed, al
falfa and parts Of the century plant
These weeds are poisonous. but they
are boiled in pots and eaten. The peo-
pie have nothing else. Eating them
causes death by dropsy eventually.
"The children are in terrible con-
dition. Frequently calls come in at the
hospitals to attend persons. often chill
dren, who have dropped in the streets.
In most cases II was from starvation
We helped all we could, but such cases
could not be kept longer than three or
four days"
DR.. O'Connor said that the average
wage OF a Mexican laborer, when work
was TO be obtained, was about 10 cents
to $3.50 Mexican money!. "Just be-
fore ! left Mexico City," said he, 81
saw in a shop window loaf of bread,
weighing probably two pounds. placard-
ed with the price 50. There Is very lit
tie work to be had and naturally men
cannot buy food az such prices.
DR.. O'Connor brought with him from
Mexico documentary evidence, which he
will turn into report TO the oihclals
Of the American Red Cross at Wash
ington In view of conflicting data, he
would report nothing he said, that did
not come directly under his own OBJ
servation. Leaving Vera Cruz in the
early part Of June, he took with him
two aids and the then consul general,
Arnold Shanklin Supplies were dis
tributed TO various colony hospitals.
French, Spanish, American, British and
Mexican, when he reached Mexico City.
"The city has been so often taken
and evacuated by the various factions
that the people are apathetic, and do
not care what happens beyond the fact
that they must know what money the
reigning faction forces to be recog-
nized." he said. There is considerable
counterfeit money, and in one instance
little school children made counterfeit
cartones. pasteboard money of ., 10
and 20 cent denominations. 1t is a
very crude. squared piece of cardboard,
with the amour: on one side and a
rude eagle on the other.
Business is at a standstill. Virtu-
ally all shops. hotels and restaurants
are cloped. Crops this year are far
below normal. There is food in Mexico,
but it is boarded and sold at exorbitant
prices"

INKOWA GIRLS
HIKE TO INWOOD
Toast Bacon and Bake Pc
tatoes at Boy Scouts
Camp.

SwislGng through fallen leaves. kick
ing them up in brown and crimson
clouds of singing color, the lnkowa
girls Indian-fled through Inwood yes
terday on their first hike.
The Inkowas are group of young
business women call must be more than
eighteen years old who spent part Of
their summer vacation at Greenwood
Lake Camp. They have organized in a
back-to-nature crusade under the di-
rection of Miss Anne Morgan. Young
men who can fulfil all of the club re-
quirements are permitted to join, as
the main object Of the group is COM
radeship.
Rain, bent on taking the curl out Of
Sunday feathers, did not in the least
disturb the happy links" who sang as
they climbed lnwood Hill to Hemlock
Grove. where three Boy Scouts had a
roaring fire going which they turned
over to the mixers for bacon toastng
and potato roasting purposes.
In the centre of the scouts tent (for
they are regular campers) was tiny
Indian fire sunk in the ground. and
around this. not too near. were placed
precious hats and furs, so that certain
Inks" not yet used to roughing It could
return 20 town just as tidy as when
they left.
Miss Grace Parker. or Gondina (the
power which moves things. as she is
known 10 the Inkowas, was the leader
of the hike. Perhaps il ought TO be
whispered. but. anyway. the captain.
Miss Elizabeth Burdick wore black
patent leather slippers with the dain-
test white spats, and admitted blush
ingly that they were meant for lady
like hills.
As soon as the bacon was sizzling
nicely on long sticks lunch boxes were
opened. and ordinations on the Won
ders of the Hudson palisade autumn
shading ceased for the time Desserts
consisted of bursting baked sweet pota-
toes which left little black smudges on
the ends OF wind-pin:ened noses.
The Inkowas then did their squaw
dance, hopping around the fire and muir
muring strange Indian phrases. OF
which only the giggles were Ineligible.
men came the cry OF nome we 20,
and the Inks" tripped off downhill
past the old poplar tree, pot hole anil
snake corner. Hawthorne and Cooper
streets. to Broadway. where they took
the streetcar home.
1.-The lnkowa Club is meeting a de-
mand, not creating one" said Miss
Grace Parker. There are a great many
young women. and young men, too, for
that matter. who earn enough to SUP
port themselves comfortably and have
little time for social life. They wan.
TO get away from the city as often as
they can, and there are many things
which they would like to do in the
way Of athletics which they would
never do alone. We intend TO include
horseback riding. roller skating. swim
ming and hiking among our activities.
while we do not intend to preach
any religion. we do want the girls TO
get the true religion out of life by
studying nature itself and discovering
for themselves the truths in life"
