Yuan Shi Kai Plans
to Proclaim Himself
Emperor Of China
Project Favored by Professor Good
now, Legal Adviser to the
Chinese Government

Picking. Aug 16.--The project Of
proclaiming himself emperor Is be-
ing discussed by Yuan Shi Kai, pres
ident of the Chinese republic, with
his immediate supporters and Prof
Frank johnson Goodnow of Johns
Hopkins University, legal adviser to
the Chinese government who is spend
ing the summer in Picking.
Professor Goodnow who secured
the confidence of Yuan Shi Kai by
advice given during former critical
times, has been consulted on this
question since his arrival here a
month ago, and it is learned that
he approves the project.
The news became public by the de-
liberate publication in this mornings
newspapers of accounts of the infor-
nation by several prominent men OF
an association for the purpose of dis
cussing whether a monarchy is not
the better form of government for
China. The published article telling
of the formation Of the society quotes
Professor Goodnow as declaring that
for China a monarchy is a better
form of government than a republic
and that conditions are different in
China and America and 1t Is tmpos-
sible to transplant a system from one
country to another"
1t was learned from one of Yuan
shi Kais immediate supporters that
II the Project proved feasible the plan
is to establish the monarchy within
two years.
The news has created sensation
in Picking and is being telegraphed
throughout the country.
China became a republic on Feb
ruary ~, upon the abdication of the
emperor, Kuang Su, following the
revolution of the previous year. A
