CHINESE ACTING
 TO SAVE ARMS FROM SEIZURE

Pekin, Jan. 6.-Pres1dent Yuan Shi Kai is moving all military stores as rapidly as possible from 5centers sub- teot to attack. by the revolutionaries. Tn view of the recent attempt to cap ture the Kiangnan arsenal at Shang- a1ai, much of the machinery from that arsenal has been moved to- the Han wang. arsenal at Sankow. Military stores at Shanghai had also been sent to Techow which is located in the in- ferior on the. railway connecting Shanghai with Pekin.
 Ho Hai Min and a number. of other revolutfonists who figured in past troubles are known to have been in Shanghai when the movement was made against Kfanghan arsenal. These Headers are supposed to have been in strumentaI in inspiring the trouble but Chinese papers Nare almost unanimous in charging that Japan actually fur nished the sinews for the outbreak
 S1n Yat Sen and other enemies of Yuan Shi Kaf now in Japan are charged by the Chinese press with having connived with Japanese off, cials in the arrangement of the Shanghai outbreak.

Travels of a sapnhirs.

A sapphire of good quality which was cut into gem weighing one and three eighths carats was discovered in the gravel along the shore of Lake Okoboji. Dickinson county, Ia., in 1914. 1t is described as resembling a piece of blue bottle glass worn round and smooth by attrition and is stated to be the corn flower blue variety and to have a good. veIvety luster. This gem was prob ably transported to the Lake Okoboii region by ice during the glacial period along with large variety of other nin7 erals and rocks. and it's original home can only be surmised. = United States Geological Survey.

Chokinq Him Of.

In his book ''Gridiron Nights" Ar thur w. Dunn says that the Gridiron club always made use of Chauncey M. Depew for any purpose whatsoever. At dinner in 1899 General H. ". Boynton,N the president of the club, made an introductory speech about Senator Depew, indicating that he was to be called upon. Just as everybody was expecting the senator to arise and. while he was getting his prepara- tory<smile ready there stalked into the room very large sized book labeled stDepew's ,Jolzes.'' On the other side was picture of .Depew laughing vo- ciferously. When the<uproar subsided Boynton went on with his speech and introduced somebody else
 A little later, however, he made a speech in which he really introduced Depew, and the senator arose. But before he could say a word a phono- graph began grinding out some of De pew's old stories, and the senator was obliged to sit down. Later in the even ing, however, he had an opportunity to speak, but he began gingeriy, ex- pecting some new trap.

Declared Intention
 of Voter Counts In
 This Legal Puzzle

Asked concerning the question wh ether a. man who does business in one town, who is unmarried,. and who boards in another, may continue to vote in the former, Attorney General George Hfnnan has given an unoff1- ciaI opinion--unoff1cia because this is not within his Jurisdiction. It fol- fows:
 Obviously in the case Of an unmar- ried man, eIdancipated from parental control, facts indicating permanency of residence such as the maintenance of a family home, are not often avail able, and the question of residence is more dependent upon the declared intention of the person, which inten- ton will largely control in the ab- sence of facts converting such sdeclar- ation.
 So far as the facts in the specific case under eonsid deration are stated, they do not appear to me to be sufT1- cient to. controvert "a declared inten- ton of the person to retain his resi- dence in the town in which he has voted in the past.''

OHIO RIVER BOAT
 HTS LOCK WALL; PASSENGERS SAFE
Packet Turns Over After Big Hole Is Torn Below
 Water Line.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Jan 6.-Cap- tain Bradley M. Berry and a large party of survivors from the steamer Ranawha which sank in the Ohio river at Dam. No. 79, last night, ar rived here early today on a special train sent out by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company to pick up the survivors scattered along four miles of river front on the West Virginia side.
 Captain Berry said that while he saw no one in the water and did not know that any had been lost he felt that there had been fatalities and was awaiting for daylight to return to the scene of the disaster where a thor ough search would be made on the West Virginia side of the river.
 tsWe were moving swiftly down. sream with the food about 7:25 last night with a crew of about 40 men, some passengers on board,' said Cap tain Berry. 'tThe weather had been bad but about that time, just as we were approaching the lower end of the lockwa1I on the West Virginia side, we were struck by a severe storm. Or 5dinari1y a light shines put from the mast on the wall but last night there was no light and before we knew what was happening the Kanawha had struck the iron, a little forward of the boilers, and started to sink.
 ''I shouted for the boats and in a very few minutes the men were get ting out the four lifeboats we had on board. The cries of the passen gers reused the men at the lock. They put out in yawl4 and came to our as- sistance- The lights went out a few minutes after we struck and there was great confusion. We managed to get the people on the hurricane deck and a Sid kept moving toward the top. The iKanawha continually turned when we finally got the last man ashore.
 "An hour or more elapsed from the time we struck until all were off and passengers and crew were constantly being landed Non the r'ver shore until survivors, shivering in the cold. were strung out to a distance of four miles. When I saw that all were off they came bacF- to get me. We lost all the books, including the passenger list and I don't know how many were on board"

Tale of Three Nations.

Some gentlemen were once dining to- gether at hotel when the conversa- ton turned upon the characteristics of different nationalities. Now said one of them, 'there are three walters. I will put to each of them the same question. and I will wager q cigar they will give an entirely different an- swer.'
 'tAgreed!''
 "Now, Tom," as the first entered with the soup, "what would you take to sit outside the dome of St. PauI's all night?"
 "A guinea, sir answered Tom, with business promptitude.
 Enter Sandy withsthe second course, the same question being asked.
