SHANGHAI. October ~ (by the

Tsao-Lin, governor of Feng-Tien,
has overthrown the Picking gov
eminent and proclaimed mon
archy, according to a rumor cur
rent in this city. This rumor has
not been authenticated, and no de-
tails have been received here. but
Chinese officials have been pro-
foundry stirred by it.
Gen. Chang, Tsao-Lin was prob
ably the strongest military leader
during the recent conflict between
the Chilli and Anfu parties. He
played leading part during that
trouble and was accused of being
a tool of the Japanese.
1t is the superstition here that
the coup, IL it really has. taken
place, is an effort to- restore to the
throne former Emperor Hsuan-
Tung, son of Prince Chun.
Gen. Lishun, commander of Chi
nese government troops in the
provinces of Kiangsu and Kiangsi,
and leader of powerful politicaf
clique, committed suicide at Nan

fact may be noted that last night

of any governmental complica-

gurated in October of that year.

after that date former soldiers. sailors

The commission states that 1t should
be understood that the discontinuance
of the practice referred to will not in
any way affect the preference allowed
by law to persons with military or naval
service, and that the names of eligibles
with military or naval service will con-

tell the story of anything these days
without adding a little yarn to it.
Yarn trims eyerything-hats, blouses,
frocks, and provides double cord for
the waist of this sweater and single
one for the neck. Little yarn balls
finish the cords that are tied in the
simplest bows.
This sweater has some own sisters
that are hand crOcheted of silk yarn
in many of the bright sweater tones.
Usually they are finished at the bottom
with a deep fringe. Narrow picot-

sweaters in open work designs there
are many in light-cOlOred woOls; as

them for themselves. But the machine
made sweaters are so attractive that no

women buy plain, machine-knit

TO RAZE HISTORIC BUILDING
Webster's House in Washington to
Make Way for Home of Cham
ber of Commerce.

Daniel Webster's house in Washing
ton, D. c., on the north side of Lafay-
ette square, opposite the White House,
one of the most historic buildings in
the capital, will be torn down soon.
On the site of this old house will be
erected the future home of the cham
Der of commerce of the United States
at a cost of $2,750,OO0.
Webster's house was better known
as the COrcOraA house, and was
bought for Webster by popular sub
scription as a gift from the American
people, a large part Of the money
coming from the pennies of school
children. After the death of Webster
the house was purchased by w. w.
CorcOran, who lived there until he
died, his heirs having sold the property
to the chamber of commerce.
In the Corcoran house Wing pol
icies were discussed and formulated
in the days of Webster's greatest ac-
tivity and influence. Henry Clay was
a frequent caller there and many ia
nous statesmen have been guests with
in its walls.
