CHINA NOW FACES
 ANOTHER REVERSAL
Change in Government Threatens
 to Give New Power Control

Picking, Sept. (By Associated Press) Strife torn China faces an- other reversal in its struggle for democratic expression. The country Is on the verge of another change in governmnt which threatens to give the militarists complete control, ac- cording to members of President Li Yuan Hung's cabinet,
 Li Yuan does not conceal his anxiety over the increasing power Of the tuchuns or military governors who now admittedly control parlia- ment and rather than follow the high sounding principles of self>ef- facement to which a number of them subscribed only a few weeks ago. they are enlarging their armies in- stead of disbanding them, are inn porting munitions and otherwise pre- pairing for new military activities
 President Li fears that the militar- ists are preparing to embroil in an- other civil war with a view to pre- venting abolition of tuchun system, a move to which the old statesmen demanded acquiescence before he ac- cepted the presidency.
 He now contends that unless civil authority dominates the country will experience a setback of many years in its desire to become a progressive nation.
 Military pressure is being exerted upon Picking both from the north where Chang Tso-Lin. former bandit chief and now military dictator of Manchuria, gains daily in military strength and from the south, where Cheng Chung Mings troops recently are giving evidences of lawlessness. Hence parliament and the Picking government are unable to function independently.
 Peking by Gen. Wu Pei-Fu no long, CT is a routed leader. He has 1oo,- oNo Manchuran soldiers, we'll equipped and eager to march on Picking in support of orders Chang has sent to the capital accompanied by threats La
 Wu Pei-Fu still heads a vast army which he would doubtless lead in the field should Chang again descend upon Picking.
 The failure of parliament to func- tion is attributed in some quarters to the Cantonese members who are act ing in behalf of Sun Yat Sen. first president of China and deposed leader of the southern China govern ment. Dr. Sun who has remained at Shanghai since his flight from Canton is charged with instigating riots in parliament sessions
 Every session since parliament convened August has been attended with violence. Adoption of con- stitution for the Chinese republic considered the first step toward uni flcation probably is remote.

SHERIFF TAKES TO
 TREE TOPS IN VAIN
After Bad Night in New York,
 Deputy Loses Badge

New York, Sept. 9.-Sheriff Smith Of Nassau County read newspaper ac- counts of the activities of deputy sher- if Frank Jarvis between last Saturday and yesterday, and decided that Jar wis must be stripped of his authority Jarvis had brought prisoner to the Tombs, spent the night at swell hotel on the Bowery, where they had marble stairs, free soap and towels and everything" then got lost in Brooklyn and finally haled a man into court on charges of having stolen his watch and s10.
 Sheriff Smith said Jarvis failed to uphold the dignity of his office and deserved the most cruel punishment Nassau county deputy sheriff can undergo-the loss of his badge. He sent Deputy Sheriff Leonard Thorne after him. Thorne found Jarvis, still wearing his brown derby, celluloid collar and bright yellow shoes, work ing on Henry Smiths farm. When Jarvis saw Thorne coming. he ran to tree and climbed close to the top most branch. Thorne ordered him down, but Jarvis just snickered and stayed up.
 Thorne coaxed and cajoled. But Deputy Sheriff Frank Jarvis just spat between his two front teeth and re- fused to come down. Then Thorne drew a revolver.
 T want that badge" he demanded.
 Well, you hain't a goin' to get it," was Jarvis defiance.
 Now, look here" said Thorne. Unless you come down out of that tree at once. I'm going to riddle you like Swiss cheese"
 Jarvis didn't move. Thorne began firing up into the tree. After three shots, Jarvis yelled he'd come down
 But you ain't goin' to take my and whistle. are you?" Jarvis asked.
 NO; just that gold badge" He got 1t.
 Jarvis was made a deputy sheriff abo'I two weeks ago to arrest per sons stealing fruit and vegetables from farms.

"WHAT'RE YE GETTIN?"
Nickel Shoe Sinners On Street Have New Scheme For Pooling Public ShouldssGet Correct Price Only.

Local people who have gotten into the habit of having shoes shined by boys on the street, complain of new, skin game" which is being worked by some of the youthful businessmt-..
 The game is worked by two or more boys. One boy gets customer, the customer being informed by a sign on the boys shoe shine box that the price of shine Is five cents. About the time one shoe is nearly finished the confederate or confeder- ates gather around and address the following remark, What are you getting for the shine?" The reply invariably is, "A dime" Sometimes if the customer does not appear to hear the conversation it IS repeated.
 Usually the customer feels too cheap to pay a small nickel and the boy gets his dime, paying his assis- tants by helping them trim" the next customer.
 The most effective way to stop this practice is to refuse to pay more than the regular price, five cents.
