PREMIER ACCEPTS PLAN
Revolutionary Chieftains Will
Launch a Campaign of Edu
cation as to Civic Liberty.
Shanghai, Dao. 27.—Exciting demon
strations of Joy were made today fol
lowing the receipt of new. from Pekin
that Premier Yuan .Shi Kal, after a
conference'with a number of the Im
perial iprlnc.a, had accepted the propo-
altion that a national convention be
called in order'to allow the people to
voice their aentlment aa to what kind
of government shall rule the empire In
the future. Tang Shao YI, the Impe
rialist peace envoy here, officially con
veyed Premier Yuan's telegram from
Dr. Wu Ting-fang, the revolutionary
envoy.
The revolutionary chieftains now re
gard victory as having been won. They
are making plans to launch a campaign
of education to Instill the Chinese peo
ple with a conception of civic liberty
and the responsibilities of cltlsenshlp
under a republican form of govern
ment.
Premier Yuan has sent word thru his
envoy that he wants to co-operate with
the rebel leaders In order to arrange for
the convention. Yuan wants It to be
held In Pekin, while the rebels favor
either Shanghai or Nanking. Yuan has
also opened negotiations to extend the
armistice, which Is In effect until Jan
uary 1, for another 30 days. However,
the protocol Is regarded by both sides
as more or less of a farce and Is being
violated In the Interior provinces.
There are many rebel leaders who
still suspect the premier and who de
clare that inimical influences will be
brought to bear upon delegates to the
national convention. Bo far no definite
program has been prepared as to the
manner In which delegates to the con
vention shall be appointed or elected,
but It Is believed that each province
will be represented by at least half a
doxen representatives.
Formal Notes Will Pass.
A series of formal notes will now pass
between this city and Pekin. Commis
sioner Tang Bhao Yl, following out In
structions sent by Premier Yuan, today
commenced holding a series of confer
ences with Dr. Wu and other commis
sioners to discuss the details of the
new plans for China's reorganisation.
According to Dr. Wu and Dr. Sun Ynt
Ben, the two foremost leaders of the
Young China cause, the rebel party has
won a tremendous victory from the
government In securing the national
convention, it Is believed here that
Russia and Japan are attemptin' to In
fluence the government against the so
lution of China's domestic problem thru
the principle of a national convention.

any one of these troubles.
Colonel Van Orsdale Is quoted as de
claring:
"I should not be surprised to hear of
Mis death any minute."
He considers the prisoner's condition
grave.
Morse looks like a dying man, the
report of Major Baker, Dr. Davis and
Dr. Elkin indicates he Is marked by the
hand of death, and those who have seen
him constantly realize his doom Is
sealed, said Mr. Logan's story.
Morse Is not whining or making.bids
for sympathy. When he first entered
the big institution In South Atlanta ho

health and had plans for the future-
plans for once agutn making a success
In the business world. He planned

DEPARTMENT STANDS PAT
ON REFUSAL OF PARDON
Washington, D.e, 27.—The deport
ment of justice Is standing pat on the
treatment accorded Chnrles W. Morse,'
the convicted New York banker, by
Superintendent Moyer, of the Atlanta
penitentiary. Indignant denial was that
Morse was put on the grill, confined In a
dungeon, and fed on bread and water
for several days for an Infraction of
penitentiary discipline.
Superintendent of Prisons LaDow
said today that In Morse's case It was
shown that he had given a fellow pris
oner money, which In all prisons Is re
garded as contraband. Morse was pun
ished, he said, but he was not cast Into
a dungeon. He was seht to an Isolation
ward for a period of three days, and
had all the conveniences that any other
prisoner enjoyed In the penitentiary.
Assistant Attorney General .Fonder
stated that Attorney General Wleker-
sham was fully satlsfled before he left
Washington that’the action taken by
the president In denying Morse’s appeal
for pardon was'based on just grounds.
From past remarks, however. It was
learned that there were Just and suffi
cient groupds for the president to par
don Morse If he chose to do so.

“We must either accept the report of

no disposition on our part to adopt the
latter course. Tor from what wa. have

tract by which the packers proposed to
borrow *90,000,000 from Kuhn, Loeb &
Co.
"This is not a contract or an agree
ment to have been signed by either

ment which was to have been made
later,” said Mr. Veeder.
Tho following names appear on this
striking document:
The packers—Armour & Co., Bwlft &
Co., Morris & Co.
The financiers—Kuhn, Loeb A Co.

ed Kuhn, Loeb & Co," continued Mr.

made."

The
Evening
Newspaper
A canvass of 135 department stores in cities
of more than 75,000 population elicited from
102 the unequivocal opinion that the evening
newspaper is a better advertising medium
than the newspaper published in the morning.
The reason is plain to see.
Six days of every week the morning paper
is read by people on their way to their offices,
and either left in the street ear or tossed to
one side in the office. The evening paper is
carried home. The family reads it. Its con
tents are likely to be the subject of dinner-
table discussion. When her day ’s household
labor is ended, the wife sits down with the
evening paper to read the news and search
the advertisements for bargains.
The morning paper is a sort of casual caller.
The evening paper is a visitor, a friend, coun
selor and companion. Its influence is far
stronger with its readers than the influence
of the hastily-scanned morning paper. That
is why it produces so much better results for
the advertiser.
