MTLTTARTSM IS
CALLED CAUSE
OF CHINA WOES
Ii Yuan Hung Flags
Tuchur7S' in Mani
feSto.

lien ISln, emma, June b--tby
the Associated Press. jim a re-
markabie manifesto telegraphed
throughout the country today. de-
nouncing scathingly the military
cliques that have reduced China TO
political impotence, Ii Yuan Hung
laid down the conditions under
which he was willing to head a new
centralized government in Peking
Ii was president of China in 1917
when militarists forced him out of
office.
Referring to the numerous re-
quests he had received to resume
the presidency, Ii said these had
not left him unmoved. He then re-
counted what he termed his ''sin
against parliament" for giving in to
the mllitarists and dissolving it in
1917. He spoke of the ceaseless
fighting in China in the last decade
fearing it was not yet over. Where
in lay the root of all this strife?
He answered that it could be found
in the Tuchun, the system of pro-
yincial military governors.
Excels in POverty-and Armies.
He declared that China excelled
all other nations in poverty-and
in the size CT its armies Dis
bandment, he added, invariably
had been ''faTcicdi."
THE people cry aloud for ven
geance on the militarists."
The "Tuchun system" he termed
the negation of democracy-ruin-
Gus financially"
Efforts hitherto made to abolish
the Tuchun had been futile; they
merely emerged under other
names.
Either, he said, the Tuchuns
must sacrifice themselves or the
ration itself would sacrifice them.
There must be no delay.
He insisted that if the militarists
were sincere in their desire to
the nation it could be accomplished
in 10 days. While warning the Tu-
chuns to see the sign of the times
he gave assurance that those OF
them worthy of consideration
would receive liberal treatment
from grateful countrymen.
Demands Tuchuns Resign.
! Ii declared himself reluctant tc
return to Peking, but said he
would undertake the responsibility
/ if all Tuchuns and high inspecting
commissioner would resign imme-
diately, accompanying him to the
/ capital to confer on the welfare Oi
China.
Il am willing to sacrifice my
self" he added, but if this pro
gram be not adopted, the extinction
of the nation is before oul
eyes.
1T is my inclination to stay unit
death in Tien Tsin, my home.
have no more desire to see the
people of the world. l am old.
What ambition l have is only
that [ long to see reunion anc
would lay down my life to bring
it about a day earlier.
Appeal Brings Sensation.
( IF, because you cannot bear II
part with your own power an6
privileges and continue to deceive
yourself as to your own good inten'
tions toward your country, there
are other methods than the one
which you have suggested which
you will have to adapt to youl
program. You may go your OWL
way. but l will go mine. l say this
with tears in my eyes"
(This appeal evidently was ad-
dressed to the Tuchuns.)
While the Tuchunships have
been attacked for years, Ii YuaT
Hung's denunciation was altOgeth,
er unexpected and has created {
sensation. The results of it are
awaited with the utmost interest.

PARCEL POST RATES
MAY BE ADVANCED
Cost of Handling Greatly Increased
While Rates Are the Same, Says
Postmaster General.

Washington, May 16.-Postmaster-
General Work announced today that
in view of "the fact that increased
costs of handling parcel post mall
necessitates corresponding advance
in parcel post rates" he was writing
to a large number of parcel post
users to get their views on proposed
changes.
The changes which have been sug-
gested, DR.. Work said, included pro-
pcsals to fix a service charge of one
or two cents on each parcel mailed,
regardless of weight or zone, and to
readjust rates by weight and zone.
The postmaster general pointed out
that there has been practically no
change in parcel post rates since the
service was inaugurated in 1913 al
though the cost of handling the ser

DAYLIGHT SAVING
START IN CONFUSION
Hands of Clock Not Changed But
Work Starts An Hour
Earlier

Washington, May 16.-Condemn-
ed by some, commended by others
and generally beset with promise
of confusion, Washington today be-
gan an experiment in voluntary day.
light savings.
The hands of the clock remained
unchanged but under request-or-
der issued by President Harding
with approval of his cabinet large
proportion of the activities of the
executive branch of the government
got under way an hour earlier and
most of the commercial establish
ments of the city opened their doors
and called their employees to work
an hour ahead of the regular sche-
dule.
Congress on the other hand, hold
ing in it's memory the storm stirred
up in some quarters by dts enact
ment of a daylight saving law sew
eral years ago, has refused to have
anything to do with the new plan
and will meet and adjourn as usual.
The supreme court has met at, high
noon by the clock since it's history
began and also will decline to follow
the executive departments.
All portions of executive depart
ments were not united on the, plan,
two of the bureaus employing the
largest number of workers-the ibu-
reau of printing and engraving and
the government printing office
standing by the regular schedule
which calls for the beginning of
work at 8 o'clock. This hour is the
same as which clerss of the depart
ment operating under the new plan
will report to work and street car
companies saw grea, difficulty in
handling all workers at one time.
Suburban trains have been ar
ranged so as to meet the new sche-
dule but other trains, of. course, will
run as usual. Theaters will hold to
the old schedule.
The plan was hailed with general
satisfaction when announced but as
consideration Of it developed there
rose a storm of criticism.

tutes the storehouse, by consent of
M. L Kalenin, peasant president of
Russia and head of all the famine
relief organizations.
One floor of the building, about
100 feet long and As feet wide, is
already nearly filled with the ar
ticles confscated in Moscow alone,
these amounting to more than 90,-
600 pounds of silver several hundred
pounds of gold and over ten thou
sand precious stones mostly dia-
monds. Requisitioned articles from
the provincial churches are to be
stored on the four floors.
Each of the 624 packages in this
big room, is sealed and they are
stacked in tiers reaching almost to
the. ceiling. The yield from some of
the monastirs was too large for a
single package, overflowing into
smaller boxes stacked beside them.
A rough list Of the articles confscat-
ed accompanies each box as it Us
brought, under heavy guard, to the
storehouse, but the exact value only
will be known when appraisers open
the parcels and sort their contents.
These experts, and also the workmen
who will unpack the boxes, are to be
stripped of their ordinary clothing
and provided with pocketless suits
when the task of sorting begins.
Motor trucks fairly bristling with
bayonets of the soldier escorts drive
up to the treasure house all through
the day and night, bringing boxes
from the churches. From the outer
gates to roof, the building, swarms
with guards To get permission 10 en-
ter it at all, one must first visit an
other building where some other
state treasurers are stored, and
where soldiers, even prevent pedes-
trians from walking on the side Of
the street on which the building
fronts.

FUTURE: TRADING
BEFORE COURT
PARTS OF ACT HELD UNEN-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF LEGISLATION PRACTICAL
LY DESTROYED, SAYS ONE OF
ITS AUTHORS.

Washir;to May 16.-Section a of
the future trading act and those parts
of the act which are regulations al
fected by the socalled tax imposed
by that section were today held un-
enforceable by the supreme court IN
ali opinion delivered by Chief Justice
Taft to which Justice Brandels dis
sented.
-, scc.:a:. Was held unenforce-
able because it was not valid exer-
else of the taxing power Of the fed
eral government in that it attempted
to regulate transactions over which
the federal government had no con-
stltutional control and was an inva-
sion of the police powers of the state.
Section 4 imposed tax of 20 cents
a bushel upon future traders in
grain when made upon exchanges not
designated as contract" markets,
subject to federal control OF when
not made by actual owners of the
grain or by the owners or the rent
crz c: land upon which the grain is
to be grown.
While the decision stated that
number of the sections of the act
were valid, Senator Capper (Repub-
Tcan) of Kansas, one Of its authors,
declared the decision "a knockout"
which practically destroyed the eff
fectiveness of the act"
The court found, however, that
there were sections of the act which
must be keld valid, such as Section
9, authorizing Investigations by the
secretary of agriculture and his pub
lication of results.
Section also was declared valid.
That section imposed a tax of 20
cents buShel on transactions known
to the trade as privileges" "bid,"
"offer," puts and calls" "indenl-
nities," or ''ups and DOWNS" Such
tax was heid to be "clearly within
the congressional power" as it was
not regulatory"
