TANG SHAO-YI LOOMS BIG
, IN THE AFFAIRS OF CHINA
Out Of Favor for Four Years, Now
Heads Movement for Reor-
ganization of Republic.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, China, August 12.-Tang
Shao-yi. who was the first premier under
the Chinese republic but incurred the
displeasure of Yuan Shi Kai and had been
out of favor for a period of four years.
has again loomed big in Chinese affairs
and is the center of the crowd of ultra
republicans at Shanghai who are endeav-
oring to direct the reorganization Of the
republic.
Tang Shao-yi was educated in America
and became well known in official circles
there when he was sent to Washington
in 1908 to thank the United States gov
ernment for returning to China the por-
ton of the Boxer indemnity money which
EXCEEDED the actual losses suffered by
American citizens through the Boxer re-
bellion.
Associated with Tang Shao-yi in the
present effort to direct the reorganization
of the Chinese government along more
democratic lines are DR.. WI Ting-fang.
former minister to the United States;
DR.. Sun Yat-sen, the first provisional
president of the Chinese republic. and
many other Chinese of international rep
utation.
Delays Acceptance Of Post.
Although Tang Shaggy was designated
minister of foreign affairs in the COM
promise cabinet formed by Premier Tuan
Chi-jui after the death of President Yuan
Shi kai, he has not yet gone to Peking
to assume his duties, preferring to re-

ture of China very optimistically. II

People Desire a Change.
China does not want a continuation
Of government similar to that main
tanned under the Manchu emperors
They retained their position through
military strength and through that
alone. Under the republic the same
tactics were followed. Soldiers from
the provinces north of the Yang-tse
were quartered upon the southern prov
inces, just as in the Manchu days. 1t
was a continuation Of the old military
domination. This system will not work.
Southern provinces will not submit
longer to any such indignity." Mr.. Tang
Shao-yis native province is Kwang-
tung, the center of the greatest po-
litical strife in China at the present
time. When asked II he thought
Kwangtung province will be harmo-
nized and brought into line through
the efforts of parliament, Mr.. Tang
Shao-Y responded in the Affirmative.

TAFT And ROOT LEAD
ASSAULT ON BRANDEIS
Eminent Lawyers and Jurists Send
Letter Opposing Nominee Call
Bostonian Unfit to Sit on Bench.

A letter bearing the signatures OF
former President William II. Taft. Elihu
Root, Joseph H. Choate and other
eminent lawyers and jurists, declaring
that Louis d. Brandeis is mot fit per-
son to be a member of the Supreme Court
of the United States" was filed with the
House Committee on the Judiciary yes
terday.
The letter was signed also by Simeon
D. Baldwin, Of Connecticut and Francis
Rawle. of Philadelphia. All the men
mentioned have served at the head Of the
American Bar Association. The COM
munication embodying the protest made
against the Brandeis nomination by for
mer President Taft and others contained
this statement:
1.-THE undersigned feel under the pain
full duty to say to you that in their
opinion taking into view the reputation,
character, and professional career OF
Louis d. Brandeis, he is not fit person
to be a member OF the Supreme Court Of
the United States"
This protest made a profound impress
sion upon members of the Senate. Close
members of the administration are dis
turbed, and admit that the fight on the
nomination will be conducted with great
determination. It was said yesterday
that some sensational speeches will be
delivered when the Senate comes to take
up the Brandeis nomination in executive
session, and that the protest made yes
terday will result in attacks upon Messrs.
Taft, Root, and others who have criti-
Cised President Wilson's nominee to the
Supreme Bench. The Indications are that
the debate on the Brandeis nomination
will be protracted.

ator Sheppard. of Texas. yesterday
/ introduced number OF amendments
eliminating the most radical features

tory features to the manufacture and

ages.
The attitude of the Sonata since
the Sheppard bill went on the calen

that the measure Of support which
Senator Sheppard had expected ,youId
not be forthcoming, and IL has been
and still is extremely doubtful II the
Texas member will be able to get the
measure before the Senate at this ses-
sion
The amendments offered yesterday
by Senator Sheppard have the effect
of directing the energies of the propo-
ganda almost entirely TO the elimina-
against shipment into the District for
personal use, against the manufacture
of grain alcohol for commercial pur-
poses, and. to a large extent. against
the easy purchase Of grain alcohol for
medicinal purposes, are eliminated
The application of the law to private
clubs of acknowledged standing is left
somewhat in doubt by the following
paragraph:
The keeping or giving away OF

visions of this act shall be deemed an
unlawful selling, subject to the pen
