added thrill of romance into the story
o the checkered life of DIR. Sun is
that as former president of United
China he still bears upon his head a
price totaling about 100000. The re-
wards for his head, offered by pro-
vincial governments and the central au.
thorities in Picking during the last IF.
teen years, have not been called, SO far
as the news from the capital shows,
even though payment upon delivery
might be doubtful.
Born On Maui
DR.. Sun was born at Kula, Maui,
Hawaiian Islands, on November "a
1870. At four years of age he accom-
panied his parents to China. When
about ten years old he returned to Ho-
nolulu with his mother (his father hav-
ing died in the meantime), remaining
about seven or eight years. While in
Honolulu, he attended the Iolani Col
lege, on Beretania Street, conducted by
the Right Reverend Alfred Bishop of
Honolulu, who personally taught him.
1t seems that his first idea was for
reform through peaceful means, if it
were possible for the Chinese people
to penetrate the Jealous conservatism
of the Manchu masters. He started his
first revolution in 1896. 1t was a pitt.
full failure, badly planned and badly
executed. These are the few facts Of
the attempt that became known to for
eigners.
Dr. Sun was the moving factor in an
attempt to bring a shipment of guns
and ammunition into China for the
purpose of making an open attack on
the government. The incoming boats
were met by troops and many Of the
passengers beheaded Sun Vat Sen es-
capped aboard steamer bound for the
United States. Then the first reward
was put on his head and his wanderings
began, He worked several months in
San Francisco preaching revolution to
the Chinese; he allied himself with one
Of the tongs there and through his in
fuence converted the whole secret or
ganization to7the creed of revolt.
Doctor u Btinkosd l!li lUu
After spending severat YEARS N Eng
land, Sun left for Japan to continue
his operations. But because he was not
thoroughly wise in the matter Of some
Japanese business policies he was
swindled out of all the funds he had
raised to buy arms. He left Japan and
went to Singapore and then to China
where. he again started another upris-
ing. This, too, was ill-timed, .'t-' \
Many of the plans Of the last up,
rising were Matched in the editorial Of
fee, of the Liberty News, Honolulu, in
April and May of 1910, on the occasion
Of DIR. SUMS last visit to- this city.
When the revolution began, the doctor
was in Portland, Oregon, He went
Fast, first to Chicago and then to Wash
ineton, Philadelphia and New York;
screening his movements. so secretly
that except for one occasion when he
was accosted by a. reporter in New
York, his movements could not be
traced. He went from New York to
London and thence by ship to Shaug.
