eerie PAGE 81% GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW _ WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8, 1911° ams GENERAL WU IS. ASSASSINATED Slain by Manchus Who Ac- cused Him of Treason. HAD BEEN REVOLUTIONIST Returned to Support of the Govern- ment Following the Issuance of the imperial Edict Granting Constitu- tional Government in China—United States and Great Britain Plan Joint Protection of Foreigners in Peking. Shanghai, Nov. 8.—Governor Wu Lu Chen of Shansi province has been as- saesinated by Manchu soldiers. The Manchus accused him of treason to the throne. Wu. was a revolutionist up to the time of the issuance of the imperial edict granting constitutional govern- ment to China. Like Yuan Shi Kai he favored ac- ceptance of these concessions, believ- ing they obviated the necessity for the @ynasty’s overthrow. Hoping that he might win the Shan- si rebels over to his views the em- peror recently named him governor of the province and he had practically ac- complished his mission when killed. By his assassination all the work he had accomplished is undone. The rev- olutionists are convinced that no Man- chu can be trusted, no matter what he may promise, and the efforts of Yuan ®bi Kai and others like him to save the dynasty are almost certainly ren- dered hopeless. The general opinion here is that Yuan’s own fate will be sealed if he trusts himself among the | Manchbus at Peking by going there to accept the premiership, as the govern ment is urging him to do. On evidence of the critical situation in the capital the American and Brit- ish legations are known to be planning joint arrangements for protecting for- eigners in the event of an outbreak of violence either by the revolutionists or by the desperate Manchu element ef the population, which is still vow- ing an indiscriminate massacre of the Peking Chinese if there should be a rebel attack from outside or a revolu- tionary uprising within the city walls NO FIGHTING NEAR PEKING Report That City Had Fallen Without Foundation. Peking, Nov. 8.—Reports that this city has fallen into the hands of revo- lutionists are without foundation There bas been no fighting whatso- ever here and there is no evidence tbat the emperor or the regent have fied Prince Ching continues to act as premier pending the arrival of Yuan Shi Kai Nor is there any indication that | SPECIAL RATE TO LAND SHOW ; One and a Third Fare Fixed for Round Trip. | The .Western Passenger association has granted a rate of one and once- third fare to Minneapolis and St. Pa during the Land Show, according to ‘Will A.

SAYS SHE LOST $10,000 Woman Claims to Have Been Robbed of Fortune.

Jahn of Rollingstone. The po- Hee are puzzled. | The.police found the suitcase at a Point about 300 feet from the alleged place of the robbery. It had been tucked away among willows and evi- dently had been ransacked. The police are not altogether satis- fied with the story of Mrs. Jahn. They are at a loss, however, to explain the finding of the grip, but are convinced that there is more to the story than has been revealed.

Two children were cremated and the main business section of Becker was destroyed by’a fire which started in living rooms over the Edward Cox store. 4 Mr. and Mrs. Cox were in the lower portion of the building when the fire broke out.

This building is of brick and stone and saved the other buildings on the street from destruction. Minnesota Transfer Handled 61,347 Cars in October.

THREATS CARRIED OU: Opposition to Italians in Tripoli Re- sults in Attack on Turkey’s Posses- sions on the Red Sea—Published Stories of Italian Brutality Toward Arabs Repeated by Other Corre- Spondents. Constantinople, Nov. 8—An Italien cruiser bombarded the town of Aka- bah, Arabia, sinking the Turkish gun- boat Italidj, which was lying in port. The second officer of the gunboat was killed but the others on board és-| caped. Subsequently the cruiser shelled the hilly portion of the town. The extent of the damage is not stated The town meant in the foregoing dispatch evidently is Akabah, a forti- fied. village on the east side of the Gulf of Akabah, near the northern ex- tremity. The significance of the dis- patch is that it indicates that the Ital- jans, meeting with unexpected opposi- tion in Tripoli, have carried out their threat to attack the enemy’s actual country from the Red sea. | STORIES OF ITALIAN CRUELTY German Correspondent Reiterates Charges of Others. Berlin, Nov. 8—Herr Gottberg, the Lokal Anzeiger’s correspondent with the Italian army in Tripoli, who with Francis McCullagh, representing the New York World and other correspond- ; ents, returned his papers to the Ital- jan commander and left Tripoli rath- er than remain as a helpless witness of the brutalities he says the Italians are perpetrating there, telegraphs to his newspaper from Malta consider- ably amplifying the horrible story told by McCullagh of the slaughter alleged | to be in progress in the beleaguered city. Following the Italian order to clear the oasis of its native population, Gottberg says, as did McCullagh, that the soldiers remorselessly chased men, women and children, the sick, crippled and blind, into the open and shot them like rabbits. | No officer higher than a Heutenant, the correspondent asserts, was pres: ent during the butchery, General Ca- | neva himself never even being seen where shooting was in progress. There Was not a semblance of a courtmartial, Gottberg adds, nor did the private sol- diers await orders from their officers before shooting down the wretched Arabs. General Caneva, Gottberg remarks, seeks to excuse the butchery on the ground that the Arabs had mutilated wounded Italians, but he points out is no information that women and children, the aged and eral passengers were slightly injured | helpless, were guilty of such offenses. “ENJOYS TWENTY-CENT MEAL Daughter of J. P. Morgan Dines With Navy Yard Employes. New York, Nov. 8&.—Sitting at a table with six men in greasy overalls, | Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. P.
