 Yuan Shih-kai. who had acted as mediator between the republicans anG monarchists in revolutionary days yielded to personal ambition after two years of arbitrary rule as president, and launched his mon- archical project, Discomfort and open rebellion impelled him to abandon the effort and he reas- sumed the title Of president. At death in 1916, he was succeeded by the then vice president, Ii Yuan hung, who held office from June 6, 1916, to July [. 1917.

 Conn was an enthusiastic cornct- list, and when his upper lip was dis figured so that he could no longer play his instrument, he experiment. cd In his little rubber stamp factory here until he perfected a rubber mouthpiece by which he could blow 1t, Other musicians noted 1t and asked him 10 mako them similar mouthpeccs. In 1873, he turned his whole attention to that.

HOLMES DENIES HE
 LIED TO DAVENPORT
q Don't Have to Lie," He Tells
 School Board

The action of Supt. Stanley II. Holmes In not allowing tho son of Clifton E. Davenport the privilege of attending the Stanley school when he is in the Smalley school district, was sanctioned at the monthly meet Ing of the board yesterday afternoon after the superintendent in a state ment to the board explained his reasons for the action.
 MT. Holmes said that Davenport's parents did not advance a good rea- son why they wished the change made. The superintendent explain ed that he has never seen MT. Day. enport, but that Mrs. Davenport called at his office a short time ago, and said that 1t was the fear that her boy would be roughly treated from gang" going to the Smallcy school that prompted her to ask tho school board to allow him to stay at the Stanley school.
 The superintendent declared that changes of children from schools out of their own districts must be made in order that the children living in the district might be given first | chance at seating and other accom- modations.
 He said that he allowed Mr. Day. enport the privilege of sending his child to the Stanley school when the boy was starting school in the kin. | dergarten, but that such privileges are given with the understanding that they may be withdrawn. Last fall the Stanley school was in a crowded condition and many stu. dents were attending on the part time session plan, and the school de. pertinent was conducting a cam. paign against children attending school in another district. He told the principal of the Stanley schoo to allow only students who lived ir the Stanley school district the privi, lege of attending that school. he re. ! ported.
 Mir. Holmes told about receiving from MT. Davenport copy of { ! letter the latter sent the mayor, bu that he did not read 1t because ht was mot in the habit of reading tho mayors correspondence"
 In reply to the letter Mir. Daven port sent the Herald Wednesday o this week in wb!ch the supcrintend ent was criticized, Supt. HoIme! said that In that letter Mir. Davon port accused him of lying, and crit icized his methods of running hi office. You know the policy hav' followed" the superintendent said II don't lie, because don't have t' lie."
