GENERAL WI PEI-FU'S victory
~ over General Chang near Picking
was complete. The Manchuran army
was scattered and thousands were TAX
en- prisoners and dsarmed, each man
being given a sum of money which
WI obtained by levying on banks that
had supported Chang. The defeated
lender fled into the country with his
body guard with Wu's soldiers in hot
pursuit. Near Luangchow, on the rail
way TO Mukden, Chang gathered some
of his forces and entrenched, and at
latest reports another fight was eX-
pected there. WI, who appointed him
self governor of Chilli province. APP
proved the appointment of Wang Shih
Cheng as premier TO succeed Liang
Shi-Yi, who fled to Japan. President
Hsu then dismissed Chang as COVER
nor of Manchuria and deprived him
of all his titles. More important was
his action in decreeing that hereafter
each province shall be responsible d.
rect to the central government in
stead of through military dictators.
He thus sought TO abolish the system
of tuchuns or military inspectors who
have been ruling over two or more
provinces and were virtually indepen-
dent of Picking. General WI says his
sole aim is the Identification of China
and the end of militarism, and he
urges the immediate calling of a ma
tional assembly. He has no choice
as to the form of government except
that it be democratic and representa-
tive.

resented, reported to Dali Eireann

MR.. SPENCER, the junior senator
4Vl from Missouri, got into an un-
pleasant mess through his efforts to
have the senate confirm the unfOrtu-
nate appointment Of Nat Goldstein to
be internal revenue collector for the
eastern Missouri district. Mr.. Goldstein
was a delegate to the Republican ma
tional convention but was unseated af-
ter admitting he had accepted money
from one of Frank o. Lowden's manag-
ers. The appointment was violently at
tackled in the senate, and Mr.. Lowden,
who was on an ocean steamer, sent a
radiogram declaring that In his opinion
Goldstein was unfit for the job. Final
ly, TO relieve the President and Senator
Spencer from embarrassment, Gold
stein asked that the nomination be
withdrawn. This was done, but the
Democrats made it plain that they in
tended to keep the incident alive for
use in the approaching campaign.

T EADERS of building trade unions
IL In the Chicago district who have
been fighting the Lands wage award
appear to have overreached themselves
at last. Not content with bomb throw
ing, incendiarism and blackmail, some
of them or their hired gunner last
week killed two policemen who in
terrupted their operations, and wound
ed a third. The brutal murders
aroused Chicago to the determination
to wipe out the outlaw bands. Swift
police raids caught large number of
labor leaders, including some who are
ex-convicts and others who are now
under conviction of crimes or awaiting
trial. Among the prisoners, asserted
the police, are the men really respon-
sible for the reign of labor terrorism
which has gripped Chicago for so
long a time.
Samuel Gompers of course always
has refused to countenance violence In
labor disputes, but IL Is hard to see
how he came entirely avoid some moral
responsibility for these crimes In Chi
cago, in view of the open encourage
ment he recently gave the unions that
are seeking to repudiate their agree
ments to accept the verdict which
might be rendered by Judge Lands,
the arbitrator chosen by themselves.

Symphony Orchestra
Rehearsal Feb. 26

Since the very successful banquet
and rehearsal of the Augusta SYM
phony Orchestra held last Sunday
evening at The Augusta House, many
have qYeried as to the date of the
next public rehearsal, and it was
found that the date is but short
distance away, being scheduled for
Sunday. Feb. c6th, the last Sunday of
this month.
The popularity of this fast growing
organization is unquestioned and the
cooperation among the members and
their firm support of their director,
Mr.. Ernest r. Hill, was forcibly
demonstrated at the Augusta House
last Sunday. when Mr.. Hill received
the beautiful gift, gold watch, as a
token of the devotion and affection
the entire orchestra holds toward him.
1t is but the duty of all music lovers
OF this community to show their ap-
probation by attending the public re-
hearsals. Large gatherings have so
far this season met at City Hall when
n concert was held, but even more
can hear this musical treat IL they
but wish too. Every public re-
hearsal is free. and gives one the op-
rortunity of hearing the class Of
music that is uplifting and beautiful.

80 inches long and an inch and half

Soap should be used very careful

is pure and greaseless), and is better
than anything else you can use.

Carnival ball at the City Hall Satur-
day evening to start the entertain
ment program at 9 o'clock. AS q re-
suit many who could not otherwise
have attended the affair and enjoyed
the many good things provided will
be able to be present.
While there has been some talk
about closing the stores Of Augusta

the merchants will not do this and
the members of the committee agree
that it would be inadvisable. Many
Of the store proprietors have, how
ever. agreed that If any of their en-
ployes wish to go to the ball. they
will be allowed to leave early IL they
make their wishes known in advance.
