WALL SURROUNDING
PEKIN IS UNDERGOING :.
TREMENDOUS CHANGES
(By Associated Press


/ Peking, July 26-The great wall
which has surrounded the city of
/, Picking for many centuries is under
going an unusual change. Peking
is laid out in a symmetrical form
with nine gates leading through the
great wall. Each side has two gates
except the front, where an extra
central 2ate-the Chien-men-leads
directly into the Forbidden City, the
central enclosure of Peking. This
Chien-men, or front gate, is the one
most seriously crowded with traffic;
and yet tradition up to the present
day has never permitted it to be en-
larged nor any other gate to be
broken near it in order to relieve
the congestion Of rickshaws, carts,
donkeys. motor-cars, camels, and
heavy laden human beasts of bur-
den-coolies.
The present Republican Govern
ment is by no means so superstit-
ious as the old exclusive Manchu re-
gime, but Yuan Shi-kai must take
into consideration the superstitions
OF the people. The gate through
which former Emperors passed in
and out of Picking was opened i'm
mediately after the Republic was es-
tablished; but only few days after
1t has been thrown open to the pub
lie mutiny ofthe troops took place
in Peking and much of the town was
looted. The cause of the calamity
was laid to the credit of the newly
opened gate, whereupon it was i'm
mediately closed and has never since
been sung upon its hinges.
Since the Republic has been well
established, a number of changes in
the minor walls have taken place.
notably two new gates having been
broken in one Of these inner walls:
and as no calamity has befallen the
city the government is now making
bold to relieve the congestion at the
Chien-men by breaking two new
gates through the great wall.
The wall is forty or fifty feet high
and forty or fifty feet thick. The
work is difficult task because the
excellent mixture of cement of for
mer days has fastened the bricks
like stone together with remarkable
hrmness. 1t is expected that the
sections of another smaller wall will
be found within this large wall, the
smaller one probably being that
which Marco Polo described in the
account of his visit to the famous
capital of Kublai Kahn.

Work 10 Harmless.

Work never hurt anyone IL 1t was
only broad enough and deep enough in
Its claims on human nature. Our ex.
tremely long lived men have always
been hard workers. Pope Leo XIII,
who died at ninety-three; Humboldt.
who died at ninety-two; Gladstone and
Virchow, oc.ogenarians, are exam
pies in our time. Is it any wonder
that physician gets impatient when
people talk about the men and women
of our generation doing so much that
they are exhausting vitality? The
trouble is they do not do enough.

Amidon's Conclusions.

"My conclusion, therefore, is that
at the time the government acquired
this property it was subject to the
lien Of the entire assessment. It
stands in the same position as pri.
vate individual would acquiring land
at the same time it was decided to the
government. The city had a vested
right in the property for the full
amount of the assessment. The gov
ernment, no more than a private indi-
vidual, is entitled to have that right
annulled. To grant such relief would
not only impair the lien given by such
assessment so far as the city is con-
cerned, but would impair the fund
