REVOLUTION
 IN CHINA
CCoutinued from page l.)

ANN-A rA --- The other provinces named in the previous reports were Kwangtuug, Kiangsi, Kweichow and szenchuen. It is from the last named province that today's dispatches state troops have been sent into Yuunan, which lies just to the south of Szechuen and is the southwestern most province of China. The area oF Yunnan is about 146,5OO square miles and it has a population esti- mated at 12,OOO,OOO.
 When the movement to have China revert to a monarchy began to gain headway the Entente Pow CTS made representations to Peking asking that there be no change in tha form of government during the war because of the possibility that it might lead to uprisings and en- danger the peace of the Orient. The Chinese government, however, re piled to the representations of Ja- pan and the other powers that 1t was confident of its ability to handl the internal situation satisfactorily and no promise was fmade that the change would not take place, the powers being assured, how ever that the monarchy would no. be instituted during the pres ent year.
 Recently the result of the Chi nese plebiscite was announced as favoring the change to a monarchy and Yuan skt-Kai, the president of the republic, accepted the offer of the council of state to become the ruler under the revived mouarchtca, system. It was stated that the cor ouation would be deferred to a time considered suitable and Yuan Shi- IIai would continue to act as presi- dent meanwhile.
 There were disorders at Shang- ha rhis morning, a warship was seized by the rebels and rioting oc- cured in various parts of the city. The warshtp was quickly recaptured however, and the revolt was soon quiet-d. There have been numer- ous indications since Of unrest in south China, but no additional out breaks have been reported until to- day.

INAUGURAL ORGAN
RECITAL AUSPICIOUS
FOR PRESBYTERIANS

In celebration of the installation
of the new pipe organ at the Pres
byterian church, an inaugural organ
recital was given at the church We'd
nesday evening which was received
as most joyful occasion by the
members, friends of the church and
residents generally. The entertain
ment furnished by Allen w. Bogen,
the eminent organist of Chicago, as
sisted by Royden s. Massey, tenor
soloist of Denver, and a splendid
chorus trained and directed by Mr.
Chas. Edman, will be long remem-
bered.
The pipe organ offers more diff
culties perhaps than any other in
strument which arises from the
number of things that have to be
thought of simultaneously, and, by
the same token, the realm of variety
of tone and expression seems almost
inconceivable in the modern, cleo
trically-equipped model. To Mr. Bo-
gen these difficulties are clearly over
come in his masterful playing which
denotes experience and great natural
talent The minute finish of all
phrasing was Immediately noted, and
the power and beauty of the instru
ment was pleasingly demonstrated by
the artist from the contrasting heavy
passages from Tannhauser to the
emotional sweetness and softness of
the encore "Suwanee River"
Mr.. Massey is possessed of voice
of most pleasing range and quality
and each of his selections was a de-
light to the audience. His enuncia
ton is perfect. He was repeatedly
encored and graciously responded,
giving to the evenings enjoyment
the touch of humor to make 1t COM
plete. The singers poise and unaf-
fected manner won instant appre-
citation.
The duet by Mr.. Massey and Mrs
Edman was pleasing and two elab-
crate anthems by the chorus were
very creditably given.
The chorus comprised the follow
ing singers:
Sopranos-Mrs. Ira F. Bacon, Mrs.
Chas. F. Bishop, Mrs. j. w. Adair,
Mrs. Charles Edman.
Altos-Mrs w. S. Woods, Mrs.
Westel Wallace, Miss Mary Brecken-
ridge, Miss Mary e. Christie, Miss
Grace Nelson.
Tenors-Ira F. Bacon, W. S. Nash,
Ed Nash, Geo. Burgett
Basses-Chas. F. Bishop, j. F..

GASOLINE AT HALF A CENT

Morton de Walton. young man
of Philadelphia, claims to have dis
covered a process by which gasoline
can be made at cost of half a cent
a gallon. He has accidentally dis
covered how carbolic acid can be
produced at price below what the
war has driven the market.
The material from which these
products was obtained, he said, ex-
listed in inexhaustible quantities in
the country and was now generally
regarded as of no value.

DEATH OF MRS. DAVIS

On Tuesday morning, March IA,
1916, there departed from our midst
the life of one of the most highly
esteemed of our citizens, Mrs. Abi-
gail Crane Davis She was born De-
cember 6, 1880, at Seneca Falls,
Seneca county, New York, being at
the time of her death, aged S5 years,
months and s days.
When she was five years of age
her father moved with his family to
Michigan, where she grew to wom-
anhood. Early in 1850 she was mar
ried to j. w. Corlett. In 1855 she
and her husband. with the children
then born, moved again with the
frontier line to Nebraska, where sur
rounded by Indians she must needs
protect her home and children even
by physical powers This was true
on one occasion, especially when Mr..
Corlett had to return to Michigan
to settle some business affairs. In
NcUIdShd tIle ldniiy iNeu anu ploS-
pered until the death of Mr.. Corlett.
To this union had been born, how
ever, six children. Two children,
George and Ida Corlett, are deceased.
Four are still living, Henry Corlett,
of Kingfisher, Okla; John Corlett,
of Cordell, Okla; Emma Quick, of
Powell, Neb., and C. NJ. Corlett, of
this city.
Subsequent to the death Of Mr.
Corlett, the widow was married to
John w. Davis. To this union three
children were born, Alfred and Perry
Davis, deceased, and Laura Small
who has so faithfully and tenderly
cared for her mother all the years
In 1890 the family moved to Okla
homa, and after seven years resi-
dence in that state removed to
Monte Vista, Colo, which has been
the home for eighteen years, and
where Mr. Davis died about five
years ago, Nov IL, 1910.
Mrs. Davis united with the Chris
tian church in early youth, and has
been a staunch believer all through
her life. She was an active member
engaged in the work of the church,
until age and failing health have not
permitted. She spoke so intimately
of the "city whose builder and maker
is God" and because of pain and
failing powers of body longed to be
at rest within its gates.
She was woman of remarkable
mind. and her memory was true ever
to dates and details of many, many
experiences of life. She retained this
power to the end She was also
woman of great heart and soul, al
ways speaking well of everyone, and
seeking virtues instead of faults, and
underlying reasons for any inconslst-
ency of conduct.
She is survived by five children
fifteen grandchildren and sixteen
great-grandchildre Not only does
the family suffer bereavement and
mourn her loss, but the community
also has lost good citizen and a
noble character.
Interment was at the Monte Vista
cemetery, the funeral being conduct
ed from the home by Rev. l.. c. An
derson, assisted by Rev. VIM. Kerry

mos and Mr.. Olin states that he
4 received reliable information
=, the demand for beans for export
ring the past eighteen months has
Isorbed all beans oDtainable, from
end of this country to the other.
ron the normal demand for beans
the next twelve months can not

stoned by the European war, will
md to make the demand even
ronger
This is the year when farmer

bntain as much protein as meat and
ecause of their low cost, palatabil-
y and high food value, they have
ecome an important article of daily
let for the soldier at the front, for

verestimate their present export
blue.
Today, wholesale dealers are offer
hg $500 and $500 a hundred, in
hrlots, for beans. Our annual sup
Ny In the United States is from five
seven million bushels only. This
hardly enough to supply home con-

(ation are grown in Michigan, New
FORK, California, while Maine, Wis
(onsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa,
florida, Virginia and West Virginia
|re important bean growing states.
The average yield taken by the U.
Crop Statistics department, is 500
pounds to the acre. Under irriga-

y 1900 pounds per acre have been
potalned. A person who will cult
'a'e his beans as he would his corn,
plahted on anything like reasonable
Sooa soil, should be able to obtain
rom sOO to 1,2O0 pounds per acre.
Inc market will justify him counting
'n obtaining better than 4 cents per
p0und' or s4OO a hundred.
In case any of our farmers desire
" plant few acres of beans as a
'ue line cash crop, they should con-
'ult Agriculturist Thomas as to the
vest y varieties to use and also as to

HERD LAW DISASTROUS

The experience of all sections in the West
where herd law has been tried out has been eX
ceedingly unfavorable The result has been newt
ably the driving out of the cattle herds, leaving the
farmer without any market for his forage crops.
in western Kansas, Oklahoma, western Texas and
several other localities, the experiment has been
tried several times and always disastrously In
western Kansas, a few years ago. there in
fux of settlers who began operations by enforcing
herd law. The cattle quickly driven out of
that section, and the farmers discovered that
!here nothing in the farm proposition without
the cattle. Some of the settlers starved thru the
proving-up period and others gave up the fight be-
fore proving up. Now in many of the outside coun-
ties the herd law has been abolished, or at least is
not enforced. The cattle coming back and pros
perity is again in sight. Identicay the same ex-
perience had the plains of western Texas,
and a number of counties in Oklahoma have aband-
oned the efforts to enforce the law.
In sections like Colorado where there are large
areas OF pasture lands which never become any
thing else herd law does not fit No real good can
Je received from it, and much harm will result
The prosperity of the farmer in the Rocky mountain
section absolutely depends upon live stock Any
thing that interferes with the development of the
live stock industry must inevitably result in loss to
the farmer 1t is doubtful is enough farmers can be
found in Colorado to initiate such law The dan
ger is largely in the Cities where people will sign
petitions for such act under the mistaken idea
that they are thereby helping the farmers What
is needed is campaign of education to let the peo-
pie know just how herd law operates

BRITISH STATEMENT

LONDON, June 5.-The British admiralty issued statement today that there the strongest ground for be-
 lief that the British navy in its battle with the Germans had accounted for eighteen German men of war; and that there is nothing to add to or substract from the original announcement regarding the British losses The state men gives the German losses as two battleships, two dreadnaughts battle rruser four light cruisers nine torpedo boat destrOyers and submarine The pessmism which prevailed as result of the first announcement of the admiralty has been greaey essened as it is now con- sdered that the first statement needessy candid and consevatvey underestmaed the extent of the German losses in comparison to the losses sustained by our own

IF BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF TOBACCO
 MEN IN CONVENTION

Special to Gateway by United Pressl
 WASHINGTON, May 29.-A billion and a half dollars of capital was rep resented here today when the great est convention of tobacco merchants in the history of the country began at the New Willard. There are 300 dele gates from every section of the cOun- try, and representing every branch of the industry. From growers to leaf dealers, to manufacturer jobber and the men behind the counters.
 It is the first national convention of tobacco merchants. Cigars that a king couldn't afford to buy in any quantity will be smoked at tonight's banquet.
 When a man tries to stop smoking via the drop-it-in-his-cotfee cure route, he takes a chance on contract ing the cocaine or other drug habits, the cOnclave was told. It plans a fight on the 42 varieties of compounds which claim to destroy the desire for tobacco.
 Impressive figures of the tobacco industry were reported showing that tobacco raising utilizes ,225 acres of land, the federal government collects S11O, 100000 revenue tax, the industry pays $175,OOO,OOO wages to 100000 workers and advertising gets $8OOOO,- 900 year.
