MODEL CHINESE JAIL
WARDEN IS ASSAULTED

PICKING, Oct. "a murderous at
tack upon Wang Yuan-cheng, the SUI
nerintendent of the model prison in
Picking, has brought to the attention
of the general public an institution
which is worthy of imitation in many
countries supposed to be far superior
to China in the management of peni-
tentiaries.
Wang Yuan-cheng, the founder and
superintendent of the prison. and a
number of guards were attacked re,
Getty by a group of twelve prisoners,
who were inspired to revolt after the
restoration of the monarchy was pro-
claimed, and before the republic was
re-established. He was stabbed in
the head and abdomen with bayonets
and dangerously wounded. Ten con-
victs escaped.
Although Wang Yuen-cheng mar
rowly missed death by adhering to
humane methods, he still believes In
the system adopted in the prison and
will not alter it.
Six years ago Mr. Wang was COM
missioned by Yuan Shih-kai to open
d modern prison, and given only So
600 with which to carry out the work.
He managed the institution so skill
fully, and employed convict labor so
proftably that the prison now has
/ $4,000 in the bank and has paid all
its administrative expenses.
Six hundred men and one hundred
women are confined in the prison and
Of this number only twelve partici-
pated in the dash for liberty. Practic-
ally all the others attempted to pre-
vent violence and to protect the super
intendent and guards.

$100,000 WAR TAX ON OPERA
 REFUNDED; NEW RULING

In answer to a request from the Metropolitan Opera Company at New York, for ruling on the 'ubject, Daniel c. Roper, Internal Revenue Collector, in Washington, D. C., has announced that tickets to places of amusement purchased outright or by subscription prior to November 1st will not pay the war tax of ten per cent.
 In accordance with this ruling the Metropolitan Opera Company will refund to it's subscribers the have paid and for which they hold receipts, on presentation of their re- ceipts at the opera house on and af- CT Monday, the opening date of the new season.
 This decision clears up problem that had given the management of the opera company no little con cern and affects similarly the man agement of various musical organi zations, most of whose tickets are sold by subscription. It, however, makes many complications for the managers of theatres, especially of hose houses which have popular att fractions and have sold tickets to hotels and spectators for dates as far ahead as eight weeks.
 It was the opinion of the attorney for the opera company that the subscriptions were not subject to the tax, but there was no way of learning definitely in advance of the sale of tickets, which begins early in the summer, it was decided to collect the tax and let the matter take its course. It was said at the Metropolitan yesterday that the sub scribers almost without exception paid the tax willingly, saying it was little enough for them to do.
 Under the new ruling, the treas urer, beginning on Monday, will pay back what he collected. This is big job and bigger sum- Approxi- mately $100.000 will go back into the bank accounts of the subscrib- CTS.
