Yuan Ski Kai
Is Fisherman
Of Hang River

| PEKING, Jan. President Yuan
Shi-kai fancifully styles himself the
J fisherman of the Hang River. His
country home is on the stream at
! Anyang in the province of Honan,
about three hundred miles south of
Peking. 1t was there that he spent
bis three years of enofrced retirement
before the outbreak of the revolution.
In his hours of leisure, he amused
himself with photography and took
many pictures of the various scenes
about his country home.
A few days ago, in the heart of the
controversy which has been waged
over the monarchical movement, the
President turned to three pictures
which recalled the peaceful days pre-
ceeding his elevation to the head OF
the government He wrote note styl-
ed "A Rustic "Reminiscences. This
was translated by one of his friends,
who made it public. The translation
is as follows:
'In the years 19O9-10, l was living
at Anyang to recuperate my health. A
garden was laid out in the suburb Of
the city and fine scenery always greet
ed my eyes. l called my villa The
Place of Prolonging Ones Life Row.
ing in boat or walking with cane in
hand, never tired of enjoying the
fine views of the garden. l spent my
days there in peace, quietness and
perfect freedom and my life was as
happy as one can imagine. After the
outbreak of the revolution in 1911,
was compelled to abandon this life of
ease and pleasure at the call of duty
ana reluctantly assumed tnlS neaVy re-
sponsibility of the country. During
the last four years I have scarcely had
a moments respite. Now looking at
the collection of these photos, it takes
my memory back to the days which l
spent on the banks of the Hang River.
l sincerely hope that if some day the
foundation of the country becomes
stable and worthy person be found
to succeed me, l may retire to my
former country villa and lead life of
ease and pleasure. (Signed) The
Fisherman of the Hang River

The city has granted the usual
near-beer licenses that have been III

SAVANNAH, Ca, Jan. lon May
first the new law, enacted at the re-

The question has been put to me
from various sources: will the

Such a question ought not to be
necessary. But inasmuch as, out of
the conditions existing over a period
OF some years, it is felt that such a
question is proper and should be
answered, desire to say:
Yes, the State law prohibiting the

gagged in the sale of liquors in Savan-

April 80, and remain closed so far as
the sale of liquors is concerned.

properties on which there are signs of
this character to remove same, if re-
movable, or paint them out if that is

 There is no doubt in my mind but that some of the features of the plan of MT. Wilson and the arbitra- tiOn board are good ones How ever, there are others which seem to be very inimical to the railroads and which favor altogether the rail road employees.
