Forbidden City on Fire
As Republican Troops
Rout the Monarchists

Tientsin. July l3. The battle Of
Peking has ended with complete vic
tory by the republican troops over the
surrounded forces OF General Chang
Hsun. leader of the monarchists.
The delay in the attack was due 10
the fear of the republican leaders that
Chang Hsun's artillery might be turned
on the legation quarter. But negotia-
tions having failed. the advance was
sounded at o'clock yesterday morn
ing. and fighting between outposts he
gan outside Peking. Artillery. ma
chine guns and airplanes we're used. and
the overwhelming superiority Of the
so 900 republican troops was soon
manifest. Before the monarchist le-
ta,hments had been driven into he
Forbidden City several foreigner
watching from the walls had been
wounded.
Within two hours 5000 troops Of
General Chang Hsun. surrounded in the
Temple of Heaven, had laid down their
arms. The monarchist general fed TO
the Dutch Legation, and the rest of his
army retreated into the streets Of 'he
Forbidden City. where several houses
caught fire. causing an extensive CON
fagration. Meanwhile most of the for.
eicners had taken refuge in the lega-
tions. and the final resistance Of the
monarcnists was soon suppressed.

Rye Bread Bakers
Oppose Weight Law
Contend That Product Cannot
Be Made in Exact
Units

The bakers, especially the bakers OF
rye bread, which has the largest sale
on the East Side. yesterday opposed
the ordinance recently introduced in
the Board of Aldermen. providing that
bread shall be made and sold by weight.
and the unit of weight shall be one
pound. A hearing was held before
the general welfare committee of the
board. Alderman Charles II. Haubert.
OF Brooklyn, introduced the ordinance
at the request of Commissioner Joseph
Hartigan, Of the Mayors Bureau of
Weights and Measures.
Representatives of the rye bread
bakers contended it was impossible to
bake rye bread in losves weighing one
pound. 1t was explained that many
loaves were placed on big trays, put
in the ovens and when baked might
weigh under or over a pound These
loaves are now being sold according to
size. with 10 cents the prevailing price.
Commissioner Hartigan declared that
bread of all kinds could be baked and
sold by weight. The Commissioner de-
clared that bread was being sold at any
price the baker could get for it, and
that there was no standard price.
The committee will take the matter
up in executive session and report TO
the full board at the first September
meeting

Control of Pacific
Ocean Rates Urged
Increase Averages 700 Per
Cent; No Acticn Taken by
Shipping Board

Washington, July 10 Surprise has
been expressed by members of Con-
gress from the West and others here
that the Shipping Board has not exer-
cised its rate fixing powers 70 control
the tremendous boost in trans-Paciic
freight rates. The average increase in
freight rates in the Pacific is about
700 per cent, although on many COM
moditles II is considerably more.
On hemp, an important item in Phil
ippine exports. the rate has risen from
20 cents on the 100 pounds 70 more
than 50, statement received here to-
day asserts. The price of hemp, which
before the war, when ocean rates were
normal. vas 10 cents pound, has in
creased 10 30 cents a pound.
Ships in the trans-P Pacific trade are
now paying their purchase cost in one
round trip. The opportunity for the
rate raids arose from the shortage Of
tonnage in the Atlantic.
In the Pacific there are no German
submarines and the dangers Of war
are slight, so that the advance in
freight rates is declared to be arbi-
trary and unjustifable.

Support Restoration

|FlNm Ine lflNuNf blfe4ll
Washington, July l3. The declara-
ton before the japanese Diet by Vis-
count Motono. Foreign Minister, that
Japan had nothing. to do with the at
tempted Manchu restoration in China,
did not mean that Japan was not inter
estng herself in China's political af-
fairs, it was stated to-day in a well in
formed quarter. An authority asserted
that one of the efforts of the present
japanese government had been to~cre-
ate the impression that the Toxic gov
ernment was not interfering with
Chinas internal affairs. On this sub
iect the words of Marquis Okuma, for
wer japanese Premier. were quoted.
In recent interview the marquis said:
"We should study carefully what at
titude japan should take toward China
now. Tho Terauchi ministry processes
not 10 interfere with the domestic poll
tics Of China. But facts do not bear
out that profession. To illustrate. at
present Japan has guards stationed in

recognized as proper because it is
violation of sovereignty in good faith
in order to preserve peace and order in
