Marriage in this day is nothing but legalized siavery.” They were married in October, 1900, In July, 191f, Kemp, a friend whom Sin- clair wished to ajd in publishing his works, came to visit at the Sinclair home at Arden.

Beatty, one of the most daring aviators hereabouts, today took aloft from Bel- mont park Mrs.. William A. Dunlap of Nassau boulevard, who f¥r a long time previously had declared she would “just love” to be a birdwoman. The weather was calm, but bitterly cold, when they arose from the field of the old racetrack late this afternoon. The biplane reached an altitude of 1,000 feet and then circled over Floral park, Nassau boulevard and other villages in the vicinity. The motor stopped dead. There was nothing particularly dangerous about that, for there was plenty of height from which to glide in a . long! spiral to earth. 'Also, there were good'land ing places. Mrs. Dunlap began to scream and was hysterical. Beatty, realizing that he had.a man's size job to bring the plane to earthssafely without any un- necessary overBalancing, was obliged to turn around and grasp Mrs. Duniap with one hand and then maneuver his descending planes and his balancing apparatus with the other. But he landed without a jar. It was found that Mrs. Dunlap's co- plous tears had frozen upon her cheeks and she- required medical ald before she could go to her home.

' Conditions weré more warlike than ever arranged here before for battle practice. The attack was made without pre- vious information among the.men as to the exact location of the’‘fortres to be besieged. 'The artillerymen were 1,150 yards away when. they .first got the range and, with* quick’ figuring, they unlimbered the guns, scoring hits at the first try. Meanwhile, infantry and cavalry worked in under cover of the first artillery fire and closed in within a few hundred yards, each man firing 20 rounds at the entrenchments of the fortress, in which dummy sol- diers were placed. After a two hours’ battle, the old homestead was destroyed even to its foundation stones. Captain Wise of the United States army, who was the of- ficial observer, warmly praised the men. r pe e ! o e PHYSICIANS TO DINE MEDICAL MISSIONARY e } Dr. W. T.

Three of the fighting socleties tacitly agreed yesterday afternoon to suspend Rostilities at the urgent request of merchants, spurred on by Chief of Po- lice White's ultimatum that he would blockade Chinatown unless peace was restored. The Suey Sings, however, de- murred and said they could not get telegrams to ail their members putside of San Francisco in time to act,with the other tongs. Later, however, they agreed to hold a secret meeting last night, and after it stated through the consul general that the Suey. Sings' stamp would be affixed to the peace {pact. "Word therefore went to the | directors of the Six Companies to be present at 2 o'clock this aftefnoon. Chief of Police White and Attorney Carroll Cook, for the Chinese organiza- tion, also were invited to be present. With the Spey Sings in line, this aft- ernoon's gathering will witness for the first time an assemblying of the warring chiefs without their body- | guards of gunmen, trusting implicitly in the waord of their opponents that no violence will be offered. The consul general, the consulate secretary, di- rectors of the Six Companies and- Chinese newspaper men will be present at the conference that Is hoped to end in a cessation of hostilities. TREACHERY IS FEARED Fearing treachery on the part of their hated enemies, the Hop Sings, who frequently have broken truce in. the the leaders cf the Suey Sings yes- ay afternoon declined to pledge themselves to a discontinuance of the tong war at the behest of Chief of Po- lice White. The Suey Sings informed Consul General Li Yufg Yew that if time were allowed they might submit a draft of thelr demands to the Six Companies as a basis for a séttlement of the strife, TUpon receipt of the communication, Secretary Ow Yang Kee of the con- sulate called upon Hong'Dai, the rich- est Chinese nterchant in America, di- rector in the Suey Sings, and persuaded him to use all his influence to bring the leaders of his tong into line. Hong Dai was informed that the Hop Sings, Hip Sings and Sen Suey Ngs had agreed to a temporary truce to last during the New Year celebration to forestall dras- tic action by Chief White. The result of the secretary's activity was shown a few hours later when the consulate officials were informed that the Syey Sings would hold a meeting at night to empower its president to affix his stamp to the peace protocol. The precautions taken by the tong- men to protect themselves from death were shown by the trouble jand dif culties encountered by the consulate secretary in finding them for th® pur- pose of communicating Chief White's ultimatum. Ow Yang Kee was forced to telephone to several intermediaries, beginning Wwith his own personal friends, extending through their ac- quaintanceship and finally reaching the ‘| the Alameda County Dental association, | tong leaders through their confidants.

Three edicts were issued, the first proclaiming abdication, the second dealing. with the establishment of the republic and the third urging the maintenance of peace and approving the conditions agreed upon by the im- perial premier, Yuan Shi Kai, and the republicans. “The text of the first imperial ‘edict issued by the throne today reads: We, the emperor of Chima, have respectfully, received today the fol- lowing edict from the hands of her majlsty, the dowager empre In consequence of the uprising of the republican army, to which the people of the provinces of China have responded, the empire is seething like a boiling caldron and the people are plunged in misery. n » g Yuan 8hi Kai was theérefors com- manded to dispatch commissioners in order to confer with the repub- leans, with a view to the callipg of a national assembly to decide on the future form of government. Months have elapsed and no settle- ment is evident. The majority of the people are in favor of a republic. From the preference of the people’'s hearts the will of heaven Is discernible. Héw could we oppose the desires of millions for the glory of ons family? " | Therefore, we, the dowager, the empress and. the emperor, hereby vest the sovereignty of the Chinese empire in the people. 1 Let Yuan Shf Kal organize to the full the powers of the provisional republican government and confer with the republicans as to the methods of union,-assuring peace in the empire and forming a great re- public with the union of Manchus, Chinese, Mongols, Mohammedans and Tibetans. We, the empress dowager and the emperor, will thus be enabled to live in retirement, free of responsi- bifities and cares, and enjoying without interruption the nation's courteous treatment. Empress Thanks Yuan, _ At an audience yesterday the empress dowager thanked Yuan Shi Kai for his successful efforts in obtaining good treatment for the imperial family from ‘the republicans. The publication of the edlets has given profound rellef to every one in 'Peking. both foreigners and Chinese. The arrangement is considered & satls- factory compromise and it is belleved that the terms will satisfy the répub- lMcans. The first edict provides that the ‘ terms shall be communiecated to the foreign delegations for transmis- sion to their respective governments, the object béing to record worldwide republican pledges. Republicans’ Pledges In consideration for abdication, the republicans make eight pledges to the emperor, as follows: First, the emperor shall retain his title and shall be respected as & foreign monarch;,second, the em- peror shall recelve an annual grant of 4,000,000 taels until the currency is reforined, after which It Takes Your Thumb and Finger only to put on || and ta.kc off the ““ E ” Eye - Glas . whi 1S sog perfectly balanced that only a shight pressure is necessary to holfl,rt ‘securely.
