YUAN SH| KA|, PRE- S|DENT Of
CHINA, CALLED BY DEATH

INepubIcan a. r. Leased Wirel
PEKIN June 6.-Yuan Shi Kai,
president of the Chinese republic died
today. Premier Chi Jul Immediately
advised Ii Yuan Hung, the vice presi
dent, of his succession to the presi-
dency.
Yuan Shi-kai mas been i'll for sew
eral days with stomach trouble, which
was followed by a nervous breakdown.
Quiet prevails today in the capital.
The death of the president apparently
solves the heated political crisis. Lii
Yuan lungs succession to the presi-
dency meets the demands of the lead
ers in the southern provinces.
Yuan Shi-Kai was reported to have
been taken seriously i'll on May 2S.
He died while the storms of revolution
were gathering in increasing strength.
In May, the province of Shan 81 and
Shan Tung announced their independ-
ence and a provisional government was
established. Yuan Shi-Kai was re-
ported to be meditating taking refuge
in Japan, and dispatches from Toxic
said that he was negotiating for res
| idence in the Japanese capital.
! Ii Yuan Hung, who becomes presi-
! dent of China, in the regular course
of events would remain in office I'M
| til October of next year, when Yuan
| Shi-K ais term expires.
Ii Yuan Hung is So years old. He
arranged the Shanghai peace confer
ence and, after the abdication of the
Manchus. was elected vice president
and appointed chief of the general
staff.

In recent years Yuan Shi-kai had
become the most conspicuous perso
| nality of the Orient through his efforts
/ to bring his 100000, 900 fellow yellow
men into line as citizens of the new
republic of China. The task of turn
| ing this most ancient and backward of
| kingdoms into republic within whose
| confines there was a fifth of the
| worlds Inhabitants republic four
! times as large as the United States
was obviously no easy one and the man
who attempted it did not escape
| storms of criticism from those who
! held that he was a dictator, virtually
| founding a new dynasty But among
| foreigners generally Yuan Shi-kai was
| given credit for as able an administra-
ton as could be expected under the
| circumstances.
Long before Yuan Shi-kai was wide
| ly known abroad he had been accepted
! by the Manchus, the Chinese. and the
foreigners in China as a coming man.
Porn in 1859. the son of a district
| governor in the province of Honan
Yuan Shi-kai aspired to an official po-
| sition. but the rule was that official
life was open only to those who passed
in ancient classics. Yuan utterly
failed in one of those government tests
at which thousands of aspirants are
closeted for three days undergoing ex-
animation.
He went into Korea as a secretary
with the army. and there rose rapidly
through his display of military anC
diplomatic ability. The famous Crane
Chancellor Ii Hung chang recognized
in him a man of action and appointed

SUNDAY NIGHT CHAPEL

In Upper Chapel Sunday night
Doctor Rainc continued the series of
"doubt-removing' sermons which
he began last fall. The topic was
Desires" He treated the animal
nature Of man from the psychology
cal and religious standpoint, point
ing out that all desires within in
themselves are innocent, the harm
coming only when one allows them
la become his master. He depicted
in dramatic terms the plight of those
who seek 10 crafty their desires as
the sole means of pleasure and sug-
gested the acceptance Of Jesus Christ
before pleaures should become as
"ashes in the mouth" The sermon
was especially helpful to those stud
ents who are now encountering lin
tellectual" doubts and was appreci-
ated by all.

oWSLEY COUNTY SOCIAL

More than seventy of Berca's cit

lived in Owsley County. Saturday
night most Of these met in Industrial
Building for a two hours social
Miss Nora Wilson was in charge and
games were played as would be of
interest TO both students and citi-
zens. Later in the evening refresh
ments were served and Frederic l..
Smith furnished music that was
suited TO the evening and enjoyed
by every one present. Meredith Cab

warning and advice brought to a
close one of the most successful So

RELIGIOUS SOCIETY NOTES

The Christian Endcavor meeting
at the Union Church Sunday night
was led by Miss Iris Crutcher. The
topic was, "Amuscments Worth
While"
The question Are your amusr-
mcntS worthy?" was brought home
10 all. The general discussion par
ticipated in by many was very in
tcrcsting.
The meeting Of the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association Sunday
night was led by the Misses Agnes
and Evelyn Richardson. The meet
ing was Of the nature of song ser
vice. Miss Carman and Mr.. Taylor
were present and gave Illuminating
talks on the place of music in re-
ligious work; they also furnished
special music. Miss Madge Story
sang a very beautiful solo.

Besides our social time perhaps it
will be interesting for some of you
to know what the boys are doing in
West Virginia. The occasion that
brought them together was Farm
ers' Week" at the State University.
There were about seven hundred in
attendance and all interested. There
is every evidence that the farmers
and the University are cooperating
nicely.
Mr.. Click is located in Nicholas
County where he teaches three days
in a high school per week and does
demonstration work the remaining
three. Through his persistent eff

methods of estimating. Mr.. Click was
outdone by only two others in the
State.
Mr.. Anderson is located in Pleas

work that Mr.. Click is doing. Ac-
cording to the method of grading Mr..
Anderson tied some other agent for

Mr.. Chestnut is in Mingo County
and Burt Johnson in pocahontas.
Both are doing excellent work. Space
and time do not permit us to go into

The Richmond polo team, leader OF
the Indiana State League, defeated the
Indianapolis representatives in fairly
well played game at the Coliseum last
night. The work of Louis Quigley, in
the position of first rush for the Rich
mond team, and Harry O'Metz, goal
tend OF the locals, was perhaps the
feature of the game Brilliant offens-
i've work OF the Indianapolis club was
counter balanced by mediocre ability
exhibited by it's defensive players.
The game started with indianapolis
displaying superiority. A goal by Ed
ward Lewis, the Indianapolis first
rush, followed by an accidental goal
which went to the credit of the visit
ors, gave indianapolis an early lead.
Meanwhile Richmond played steady
polo which soon placed the visitors
second in matter of points scored.
Both Oscar and Louis Quigley made
goals in rapid succession once Arlie
May, the Indianapolis goal keep, be
came unable to stop the ball.
All in all Harry O'Metz, the Rich
mond goal tender had sixty-seven
chances to stop the ball. He missed
nut five-very good goal tending, in
deed.
