PRES. YUAN SH|-kAI
 OF CHINA IS DEAD:
 HUNG SUCCEEDS HIM
Continued from First Page )

the throne from the Emperor Kuang Shu, and he was popularly accused of betraying the Emperor. The Dow ager appointed him governor of Shan tung where, during the Boxer rebel lion, he displayed his astuteness. h. Vi+ed to join the Boxer sect, he dared not frankly refuse, although he had no sympathy for their fanaticism He agreed to join the Boxer movement if it's leaders would prove to him their contention that those of their sect were immune to foreign bullets He told them he had one of the foreign guns in his own house and that if the leaders would meet him in his garden the next day he would stand them up against the wall and try the foreign devils magic" on them. If the bullets did not hurt, Yuan would become a Boxer. So sub- lime was the faith of one leader that he submitted to the test, and accord ing to the story, fell dead at the first rifle bullet which pierced his heart. Yuan Shi-kai was thus freed from asny obligation to join the fanatic movement of the Boxers. As a mat ter of fact, he was given credit for material assistance to the foreigners during the warfare which the allies waged in China.
 With the death of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Kuang Hsu, almost coincidently. and possible each by poison at the hands of the other, the child emperor Hsun Tung came to the throne under the regency of Prince Chun. Yuan, presumably because he had gained such a control of the army, was dismissed in disgrace although nominally on pretext of 'icuring a sore leg"
 In Rebel Move.
 When the anti -Machu rebellion broke out in October 1911, the Man. chu regency, in despair, urged Yuan to return. The latter replied that his leg was not yet well, but when given au- thOritY as supreme commander of all ! forces of the North, he accepted. He | also became the first premier of the | responsible cabinet' which the re- l gency offered to rebels as concession 1 of peace. But neither the rebels nor l Yuan were satisfied. The publication of the Manchu rulers was forced and 1 fhe boy emperor, at the dctation of l Yuan Shi-kai authorized the premier to organize with the rebel leaders at a Republican form of gov ernment.

 The Germans are now directing their efforts toward bringing up masses of endorsements through the ravines between VauX and Damloup for the purpose of gradually wearing down the resistance of the French. Two infantry attacks were made yes- terday but they lacked the intensity of the previous rushes.

and had been about as orderly as a real large crowd can be, es- pecially with the excitement at the pitch it was during the entire meeting. It heard two really good political speeches, for Dr. Brough has long been consider ed one of the states best orators and Earle w. Hodges has inn proved wonderfully since his Forrest City opening speech. Both candidates followed the line of their usual campaign speech, though Dr. Brough in- jected quite a bit of new argu- ment, and devoted more atten- tion to his opponent that he would have done, or has done heretofore, when the opponent was not present. MT. Hodges stuck right to the line in his speech, and it is an improvement on anything shown by Jeff Davis with some of the pert Donaghey- isms thrown in.
 Dr. Brough made short work of his rejoinder. He merely an- swered one or two points made by his adversary, and then let his case rest with the people, saying the balance was not wor- thy of attention.
 Both speakers kept their wits and refused to be ruff1ed by the statements of the other. This no doubt permitted the meeting to end without riot, and as it was, this is probably the fast big joint debate that will ever be held in Little Rock.
 If the opponents of Dr. Brough secured any satisfaction from this meeting, it was hardly manifest while the opening argu- ment was being made. Dr. Brough seemed to single out members of the St. Francis Levee Board, and Hodges campaign managers, to ply his bitter sar- casm upon, but after MT. Hodges had warmed up to his task, they began to smile again, but later the Brough demonstra- tion was too lasting to suit them, for a Hodges party had been turned into a Brough demonstra- tion, and this did not set we'll.
 Of the audience, about half was Pulaski county voters. There were several hundred ladies pre- sent, and the balance were voters from other sections of the state. It was aparent from the stand that there were less than 50 Hodges men seated on the main floor, or if they were Hodges men, they failed to assert them selves when the applause was be- ing handed about.

nent to the satisfaction of the audience. He was cheered unt;l the roof seemed to bulge when he defended his record on tbo negro question, and when bo said he would not make an anol ogy for his fathers war record if he had to leave the race for governor. In explaining his al. legged tax lodging, Dr. Brougb stated that he had assessed ner sonal taxes every year, and that included his poll tax. When Earle Hodges reached this point in his address, he declared that such a statement was baseless for poll and personal taxes differ. ed. In his rejoinder Dr. Brough sprung the state law on his oppo- nent. MT. Hodges also declared that if things he said were not true that he would withdraw from the race and either vote for Judge Smith or go fishing. Dr. BrCugh replied in the close ing that he would not make such an assertion before an audience of Democrats, but that if MT. Hodges was nominated, he would not only vote for him, but would take the stump in his be- half.
 When Dr. Brough asserted that he believed, Judge Smith was going to beat MT. Hodges out in the race, the applause was deafoning. He also stated that he would not have deputy gover- nors in the different counties, naming those who are now filling this capacity, and those who would serve if MT. Hodges secur- ed the nomination.
 Dr. Trough called attention to the fact that one of MT. Hodges campaign managers had intro duced a bill to repeal the full crew act, and yet MT. Hodges made plea for the labor vote. Both candidates dwelt at length on the Confederate veteran, and when Dr. Brough completed his speech, gray headed. old man, wearing a Confederate uniform, with a Cross of Honor on his chest, came forward and grasped him by the hand.
 Those who listened to the two speeches until the morning hour, could see nothing less than a landslide for Dr. Brough, the en- thusiasm displayed by his sup porters from over the state be- ing taken into consideration, and there were many there who boosted the majority of Dr. Brough to 5O,O0O. Dr. Brough was followed to his headquarters by several hundred cheering vo-

what ne ndU lO Say.
 1 Mir. Hodges started his speech with an introduction in the ren- dition of Dixie" by the band, but the cheers which the old pa triotic standby provoked, were puny beside the cheers for the proceeding speaker. Mir. Hodges spoke for two hours and a half with frequent interruptions. The crowd gave him careful attention until he started to mimic Dr. Brough, and then it broke loose. When MT. Hodges undertook to defend Eastern Arkansas politi- clans, there was a miniature storm, and many times thereaf- ter he had to stop while Chair man w. s. Mitchell pounded vainly upon the table for order. Even Dr. Brough could not si- lence the audience, and MT. Hodges threw fat into the fire when he called the cheering mul- titude University students. ," There were many former students of the University of Arkansas in the audience, but they only took up the cheering where others left off.
 It was because of these inter- ruptions that Chairman Mitchell permitted Mir. Hodges to speak at such length, and before he completed his speech, some per fectly fine chandeliers developed in the audience to inform the speaker that it was almost the break of day. The Hodges SUD- porters became hot under the col lar because of the manner in which their speaker was dealt with, and they shouted back a defiance.
 At fifteen minutes to 12, Dr. Brough was permitted to begin his rejoinder. He went only a short way until he was interrupt ed by a perfect hedlam at the back of the stage, where a num- Der of Hodges supporters had congregated. Chairs were thum- ped upon the floor and efforts to quiet the disturbers failed. A state official, by appointment, led the noisemaking, fully aided and abetted by state Capitol en- ployes and the rank and file. Dr. Brough made several attempts to speak, and when it became evident that the Hodges men, who refused to yield to MT. Hodges efforts to quiet them, had no intention of permitting the rejoinder, a clash was narrow ly averted between the Brough supporters and the dlsturbers. The crowd had thinned down considerable by this time, but the hall was still well filled. and 99

EDITOR HEARS DEBATE
Brough Gets Hodges Goat In Joint Debate at Little Rock
 Monday Night, Mar. 13.

which closed at 1905 Tuesday morning exists over the state, the result can be nothing sh ort of a landslide for Dr. c. H. Brough.
 Three thousand people packed into the Municipal Auditorium in spite of fears that it might not stand the strain, and fully two thousand remained to hear Dr. Brough's closing remarks, cheer ing him repeatedly and drowning entirely the efforts of the Hod- ges advocates to prevent Dr. Brough being heard.
 The debate widely advertised, brought voters from all sections of Arkansas, and all day the feeling grew, until evening, when special tfians brought other advocates of the candidates the Wynne Brough delegation br n ing a band to enliven their proc S ion, W Which marched through the principal streets of the city before dissolving.in in front of the Brough headquartt rs The Hodges supporters also came in numbers, and every politician of note in East Arkansas attended the conferences which were held in his headquarters during the day.
 Rumors of how the Hodges managers were endeavoring to get control of the hall, refuse room to Brough men on the stand, and even 10 limit the num- Der of those attending, caused feeling to arise to a high pitch, and when the doors of the Audi torium were opened at 2 o'clock, rush was made which soon filled the mamoth structure. The doors were locked in the face of fully two thousand more people, who hammered on the doors and de- manded admittance.
 It did not take the crowd long to show it's sentiment. MT Hodges was generously cheered when he appeared, especially by the stand, where the majority of his supporters seemed to be seat ed But this was not to be com pared with the ovatation tender ed Dr. Brough when he came in with his managers. The Brough supporters were determined that the Hodges men, who termed 1t a Hodges meeting" should not assume control, and every cheer from the Hodges section was rolled back with volume which swamped it.
 Dr. Brough opened the speak ing, being given an hour and thirty minutes. He was literally applauded throughout, the candl-
