MILITIA TO ASSIST IN
QUELLING DISTURBANCES
(By Associated Press. }

Peking, June 5.-Marshal Tuan
Chi-jui, the new premier and minis
ter of war, has announced that he
has the assurance Of the military and
police officers in Peking that they
will cooperate with him in quelling
disturbances which may arise as u
result of the unsettled political con-
ditions in China.
Marshall Tuan Chi-jui has held a
conference with his chief of staff,
General Wong Shih-tseng, Lu Cheng-
hsiang, minister of foreign affairs;
Tsao Ju-lin, minister of communica-
tions; Sun Pao-chi, minister of f.
nance, and Wang Yi-tang, minister
of the interior, in which they dis
cussed procedure should the resigna-
tion of the president, Yuan Shi-kai,
become imperative.
Foreigners in Peking have been
reassured by the announcement that
Yuan Shi-kai's withdrawal would not
leave the central government wholly
at sea. The Shi-kai's withdrawal
would not leave the central govern
ment government wholly at sea. The
new cabinet is inclined to conform
ar closely as possible with the terms
of the provisional constitution of the
republic, which provides that the
vice president shall become head Of
the government upon retiremnt Of
the president Consequently should
Yuan Shi-kai leave office, Ii Yuan
hung will probably become the chief
executive pending the election of a
formal national assembly and the
designation of a permanent president
by popular vote.

GERMANY SEEKING NEW
$1O,OOO,OOO LOAN HERE

New York, June 8 Negotiations
are now under way for the placing
in this country of a German loan for
an amount said to be in the neigh
borhood Of $1O,000,000. If the mat
ter is concluded satisfactorily it will
be the second direct loan for that
amount to have been fioated in this
country since the outbreak of the
war. The first loan of S10,000000
was for nine months. Like the one
now under negotiation it was
brought out by Chandler & Co., Inc,
Members of this firm were extremely
reticent last night about discussing
the details of the proposed new loan,
saying the news was premature
From other sources it was learned,
however, that it will probably be for
$40, 1000 900 and will run for ten
months 1t is said it will bear inter
est at the rate of per cent and will
be offered on a go per cent. basis
1t is known that individual, have al
ready been sounded as to whether
they could be counted upon to take
a part of the loan were the negotio-
tions concluded satisfactorily.
1t is supposed that like the first
direct German loan brought out here
the proceeds of the sale of the I'm
perial German government the
months notes will be devoted to stab
iilzing the exchange market. The
notes will be issued as of June l and
will fall due on April /, 1917, it is
understood. The first loan was paid
off before it became due.
Aside from the direct loan foated
here subscriptions to the German
war loans have been sought by
houses with German Affiliations,
though Chandler & Co., Inc, have
had no part in these offerings.

MELONS ARE MOVING
FLORIDA Packer.)

Jacksonville, Fla, June 5.-Mel-
ons have started to move freely in
carlots this week. Up to May 81, 80
cars had been shipped out of the
state. Twenty-Five cars went to
eastern markets, seven to western
markets and three to southern mar
kets. Last season only two cars had
left the state up to May 81.
The first car from Wauchula
moved on May "a. 1t sold for $425
f. o. b. and beat the record price for
any car ever sold at this station.
The car was loaded by w. s. Shell
ton and o. NJ. Revells, and went to
the New York market. The first car
of melons was received on the Jack
sonvillc market May 25. 1t was

FvFRYTH|NC POINTS TO HUGHES
NOMINATION FOR THE
PRESIDENCY: ROOSEVELT
Will CUT No FIGURE
EuRoPE'S ART TREASURES
MAY ALL BE TRANSFERRED
TO UNITED STATES
(By Associated Press. }

Berlin, June 5.-The war probably
will lead to the further transfer of
Europe's art treasures to the United
States, in the opinion of Pof. Will
helm Won Bode, general director of
the Royal Museums at Berlin, Prof.
Won Bode gives several reasons; that
the war is making a great increase
in the wealth of many Americans;
and that the breaking up of several
of the great private collections in
America, including that of the late
j. P Morgan, and the acquisition of
many OF their choicest pictures by
public art museums, will tend strong
ly to develop the demand for good
art works Prof Bode declares that
in this way the public collections of
New York, Boston, Washingtno, and
Chicago, together with dozens of
cities not yet identified with art in
an international sense, will become
fully equal to those of European
cities.
This fresh demand for artworks in
the United StateS, Prof. Bode says,
will strike Europe at a time when
people on this side will be forced to
sell in order to get money to pay
their debts. Many fine old pictures
now owned by private collectors in
Europe, and particularly in England,
will in this way find their way
across the Atlantic, he thinks.

FELLSMERE- BARLOW ROAD
WOULD OPEN RICH SECTION

Fellsmere, June ) 5.-The march of
progress in Florida is very rapid and
development of the resources of the
State are far in excess of any other
State, great in area, great in the
quality of her soil and superlatively
great in the grandeur of her climate
and scenery. The development OF
the southern half, while very recent
is what is making history today
The development of Fellsmere into a
region fit for the homes of men is
but typical Of what is going on all
about us. Fellsmere is a pioneer in
the completion of one of the greatest
of the drainage enterprises OF the
South and offers to the world a first
class sample of what is being done
for the benefit of humanity 1t now
offers to those who are ready to
grasp the opportunity vast area Of
the most fertile lands in the world
at price which will not be duplicat-
ed and in a community the intelli-
gent operation Of which is the last
word in assurance of success for
those who are willing to put forth
the effort to grasp it. There is one
thing which should be done now to
insure still more rapid advance in
the prosperity of the State and the
securing of a most desirable type of
citizens, that is the opening of the
the extension of the Fellsmerr rail-
road to a connection with the lines
which center at Barlow. The terri
tory which would be traversed would
offer so many inducements for settle
ment that If 1t was opened up in this
way it would be Immediately occu-
pied by prosperous towns and farm
ing communities which would insure
adequate financial returns to the
capital invested. The construction of
this connecting link offers no great
engineering problems-about so
miles of straight away building
would do the business. There would
be some heavy dredging to create
roadbed through the muck for the
few miles intervening between the
west border of Fellsmere and the
pine lands beyond, but this done in
con junction with the owners of the
land might serve the double purpose
of right-of-way and drainage, The
result of the construction of this line
would be to create an almost airline
from Tampa, on the West Coast, to
the great East Coast, and it would
Immediately draw to itself a not in
considerate through traffic, both
freight and passenger, at the very
outset. 1t is a fine opening for the
investment of capital with the prom
Use of adequate and gure returns to
its promoters.

Deeply Into Mans Eve by Fall

Utica, N. Y, Sept. 23.-William
Singerly Mccartney, a graduate Of
Harvard university and inspector of
arms for the Canadian government at
munitions plant here, was found
impaled on an iron fence in this city
early today. He had fallen from a
piazza and the iron picket penetrated
one eye so deeply that two policemen
and a physician could not pull him
off. He was conscious, and the ply
scian chloroformed him. Then the
picket was sawed off and he was hur-
ried to hospital where the iron was
removed. His recovery is not ex-
pected.
