N.nking, Dec. 30—Today, 24 hour* after the birth of the new republic of China, Its founders are facing the first grave test of their authority. It whether President Bun Yat Sen and Dr. Wu Ting-fang, foreign minister In the cabinet, can control the radicals of the Young China party and persuade them to adopt the proposition of hold lng a national conference on January 8 to decide on the future form of Chinese government. Both tides have agreed to the extension of the armistice pending th<- outcome of the national conference. But this presents another critical situa tion, for It Is doubtful If the conserva tives of the revolutionary party can hold their men In check much longer unless the Manchu dynasty hastens Its abdication. Wu and Tang Co-opsrats. Dr. Wu Ting-fang and Tang Bhao Yl, the Imperialist peace envoy Wn Shang hai, are working In co-operation and many have come to believe that Tang Is secretly doing all in his power to further the cause of republicanism. Opponents of a republic say that the action of the provisional military con ference In electing Dr Sun to the pres idency Is farcical and without mean ing, but this view Is not shared by those who are promoting the cause of liberty. If peace Is maintained nnd regularly appointed delegations from the prov inces gather at Shanghai In peace con- lerence to vote on the question of gov ernment, It will be regarded as a vic tory for Premier Yuan Shi Kal, be cause It was at his suggestion, ap proved by the throne, that this action was taken. Delegated Convention. Each province will send three dele gates to the rnnver having three votes. Premier Yuan ha» agreed to move all the Imperialist troops In the provinces of Shen SI, Shan SI, Hu Peh, An Hut and Klang Su within a week. This Is an undoubted victory of the diplomacy of Dr. Wu, who Is negotiating with the premier on behalf of the rebels. The situation haa been complicated by the action of the republican assem bly here electing Sun to the presidency, for It Indicates that the rebel leaders nre determined to hnve a republican form of government, Irrespective of the wishes of the national conference nt Shanghai. An effort wilt be made by the republicans to prevent any recogni tion whatever of the throne In the na tional conferenee. Continued Prom Page One, the postotflce. The mall will then be Ujaced Immediately In the stamping machines and will go thru without » moment's delay. To the postofTlce department the com mittee recommends that a competent employee visit the ofTIce of the con cerns who produce a large amount of mall and explain to them how the de lays which are now occurring may be avoided thru proper deliveries of the mall to the postofTlce. Use Home Letter Boxes. Co-operation with the postofTlce of ficials la asked for by residents, In equipping their homes with mall boxes or letter slots. In this way much time, the committee finds, may be saved. The committee has discovered. In re gard fo the railway mall service, that on account of the reduction of the also of cars It frequently happens that pouches of unworked mall are carried past their destination on account of the Inability of clerks to keep up with this part of their work. These pouches are returned on the next train, with consequent delay In the delivery of mall. Economy Went Too Far. - In this, say the committee, the post- oftlce department shows that In reduc ing expenses by purchasing and oper ating smaller cars. It has crippled the service. General orders to effect econ omy, they say, have been carried to the extreme by overxealoua employees In the railway mall service department, and the many complaints of mall delays In this section of the country have been the result. The committee In Its report cites In stances where letters sent thru the rail way mall service have been delayed an unnecessary length of time. Postmaster McKee Replies. A formal list of complaints were for warded by the committee to Postmas ter McKee, and each of th *e com plaints were explained by the poatmas state affairs, and when the revolution was launched, the Chinese Free Mason society at once started a fund to aid their fellow countrymen. Thru Lum Jtf, a prosperous Chlna- msn In Atlanta, the society, which Is national In Its organisation In this country, has called on every son of the Flowery Kingdom to aid In bearing the tremendous expense which the tight for freedom has cost. Georgia Chinese Give $2,000. According, to Lum Jo, from 31,500 to 12,000 will be sent from Georgia alone, and of this amount at least 31,000 will go from the patriotic Chinese In At lanta. Nearly half of tills sum has already beeq sent to the headquarters of the society In New York, and on Saturday morning he received the mag- gazlne of the society In which he was urged to collect the remainder atsonce. According to Lum Jo's translation of the circular every Chinamen In this country between the ages of IS and 60 has been assessed 35 to aid In the cause, and those who are able are asked to give more than that. All contributions of 35 are taken with no promise of repayment, but after the first 35 Is given any other contribu tion Is repaid In the form of notes from the society, which has the backing of the new government behind it, and, ac. cording to Lum. a check for 310 will bring In return a promissory note good for 316 at the end of two years. Many Chinamen In tnf* city have hastened to give more than the regular assessment, and In San Francisco and New York, where there are many wealthy Chinese residents, thousands of dollars have gone to help the estab lishment of the new government. When the republic Is fairly on Its feet, as all Atlanta Chinamen think will be the case In a short while, It will be found hat at large share of the bonds which It Is forced to Issue will be held by Its Immigrant sons In America. This fact, the Chinese here believe, will be a great aid to the United States In securing amicable trade relations In China, and should prove of great value to this country In strengthening her foothold In the East. When asked what he thought of af fairs in China at the present time, Lum Jo, who Is one of the most Intelligent and up-to-date Chinamen In Atlanta, was very reticent. "We Don't Believe Pepere.” "Well, we don't know for sure that Dr. Sun Yat Sen Is president,” said Lum. ' Yes, we all read what we can of United States newspaper report, but we are afraid to believe It all. You see, China big place, and It take long time over there for till different provinces to be heard from. Walt week or so. we know for sure then." "We|l, L«tn Joe," the reporter said, "don’t you hope Dr. Sun haa been made president, and the republic Is estab lished.’ Don’t ycji think he Is the right man for the head of the government?” "Sure," Lum answered with a glow In his face that was only brought about In speaking of the new .conditions In his beloved homeland. "We all /or the re public Just the same ns Mexicans want ed to put away their bad government, and we think Dr. Sun Yat Son right man. He’s the leader; he started tho movement, and he ought to be head, but we over here are Uttle afraid that all the provinces won't want him. You see, China Is big place, and folks In different part* have different Ideas about who ought to be head man. Walt bout a week, we get sure enough re ports by then,” he reaffirmed, showing rather an Incredulous spirit toward modern methods of gathering the news.

In connection with this mattor, dur ing his conference with Judge Broylee, Chief Lanford made a statement rela tive to the difficulties experienced by detectives In getting Information from the office of Henry 8. Jackson, Internal revenue collector. The state legisla ture, at Its recent session, enacted a law which makes the poseesslon of a Fed eral liquor license prlma facia evi dence of guilt In a blind tiger rase. As a rule, all of the big blind tigers take out such a license In the Internal reve nue office In order to protect them selves from the government. This new state law was expertrd to prove a big aid to officers In running to earth blind tigers, but Chief Lanford says It has been rendered practically Ineffective for the reason that no Infor mation can be obtained from the Inter nal revenue office as to persons taking out such licenses. Thsy'rs Always "Too Busy.” He says that u'henever a detective calls at the revenue office to examine the records he Is always put off with the Informstton that the attaches of the office are "too busy" to allow him to _ _ _ w see the records.

Georgia has had politics a plenty In 1911, considering that this Is an off year, except for tho regular every- summer session of the legislature. Death and resignation, however, were most generally responsible. The death of United States Senator Alexander Stephens Clay late In No vember, 1910, probably had more effect on Georgia 1911 political conditions and transformations than any other ono event, Ex-Governor Joseph M. Terrell, who was appointed by Gov ernor Joseph M, Brown to Bucceed to the vacancy caused by Senator Clay’s death, had hardly more than familiar ised himself with Ills senatorial sur roundings when 1910 passed out and 1911 came In. He continued as senator six and one-half months of this year until the legislature. In July, elected Governor Hoke Smith In preference to Senator Terrell, Judge W. A. Covington, Pleasunt A. Stovall and other candi dates to serve the remainder of Senator Clay’s unexplred term. Senator Terrell took the position thut If tjie, legislature said It didn't want him as senator It really didn't; so he lost no time In firing hi* formal resig nation to the senate at Washington. He quit on the spot. And because Gov ernor Smith preferred to be governor a little while longer, Georgia had hut one'senator at Washington during the last month of the extra session of con gress, nnd. In fact, not until the regu lar long w inter session commenced De cember 4, when Senator Smith took the oath of office at Washington. 8mith Made Senator. Governor Smith had been back In the gubernatorial chair leas than a fort night when the legislature chose him senator, HI* elevation brought on the necessity of a gubernatorial campaign for the election of a chief executive to All out his unexplred term. The very next day after the senatorial election. J Pope Brown, former state treasurer, and Judge R. B. Russell, of the court of appeals, announced their candidacies for governor. And at the same t'wfi friends of ex-Governor Josnph M. Brown, whom Governor Smith had just succeeded, begun to boom him for tho place. But Governor Brown waited un til Governor Smith said when he would quit th? Job ,before he announced his candidacy. „ „ Late In October, after Governor Smith had announced he would resign the middle of November, the "‘ate ex ecutive committee catted a state wide county unit primary for December 7. That primary resulted In Oovernor Brown winning the gubernatorial nom ination handily over his .two oppo- nents Pope Brown and Judge Russell He will be formally elected on Jan uary 10. and Inaugurated January 24 ° r in\he Interval between Governor Smith's resignation In November and Govemot Brown's Inauguration .

Hence, we have failed to get the desired information. This com menced Just as soon as we got ths Hist information and used it In court. It’s Up to Cartsr Tats. If District Attorney Tate agrees to take the blind tiger situation before the Federal grand Jury, some gingery sen sations are expected. It Is known that thousands of gallons of whisky have been shipped Into ASanta during the past few montha to 'fake clubs and fictitious Individual*, and Judge Broylo* declare* It I* high time on end was put to such proceeding*. "If the government will take up the. matter," say* Judge Broyles, "the po lice can furnish all of the evidence needed." , , It has already developed in the trial of blind tigers In police court ihat im mense quantities of liquor have pound Into Atlanta, consigned to the Sales men’s club," the "Four Star club, the "Watchmen's club and other fake or ganizations. All of this whisky Is said to have been received and dispensed l>y blind tigers. Such shipments are said to be a direct violation of the bederal laws. Shipments to Mythical Man. In the trial of Dan Shaw, another mythical consignee came Into the spot light. to whom railroad official* testi fied many thousands of gallon* of liquor had been shipped during the |MU>t month. This myth goe* by the name of "Fred Walker." Despite the fact Ihat wholesale quantities of booze have been received here, consigned to "Fred Walker," no such Individual has ever shown up at the freight depot* to <L»lm convened In Washington last spring, two new faces were seen in the Geor gia delegation, William Schley Howard succeeding Colonel Leonidas F. Liv ingston form the Fifth district, after more than twenty years of service, and Samuel J. Tribble succeeding William H. Howard from the Eighth district. It Is rather a singular coincidence that a Bill Howard should go out and Bill Howard go In at the same time. Statehouse Changes. Getting back to statehouse politic*, a number of changes have been made during 1911. The death of general Clement A. Evans on July 2 removed a most conspicuous figure from the pub lic life ol Qenrgla and created a va cancy on the state prison commission. The harid of fate plays an important part in politics. Had General Evans died 30 to 48 hours sooner—and for days his death had been expected at any hour—Governor Brown cquIq have appointed hi* successor. As, It waa. Governor Smith, who had been inaug urated less than 30 hours belore Gen- eral Evans’ death, named Judge T. E. Pattewon. of. Griffln. to t\\e .vacancy. Governor Smith had contemplated appointing. General .Evans adjutant general, so as to plac$ Judge Patter son, a lawyer, on the prison board. General Evans’ death made it necessary to pick a new adjutant general, so w. G, Obear, quartermaster general, was named to succeed A. J. Scott, who for several years had headed the military department, but whom Governor Smith had determined not to reappoint. . On July 1, the day Governor Smith was Inaugurated, other state house changes were made, * W. J. Speer suc ceed ing-J. Pope Brown as state treas urer and Thomas 8. Felder taking Hew Jett Hall’gi Place as attorney general. Several changes were made In subordl natc positions In the treasury depart ment, while a complete force of clerks and secretaries went In the executive offices, succeeding Governor Brown s appointees. _ . . In August Governor Smitu appointed Jesse Mercer, of Fitzgerald, the first state gome warden. It was early in October when the next series of state house changes took place. Justice Horace N. Holden re signed his seat on the state supreme bench und Governor Smith appointed >1. Warner Hill as his successor. This vacated the chairmanship of the rail road commission, to which C. Murphy Candler was advanced, Paul Trammel, of Dalton, succeeding to the vacant seat on the commission. When December 1 came around an other change was made In the railroad commission. James P. Perry succeeding Colonel O. H. Steven*, who for a quar ter of a century had been in public life. Just a few days ago Judge Arthur Pow ell created a stir, in political circles by announcing be would resign next Bpring. The new yekr will be a "regular” year for Georgia politics, but it can't pro* duoe so very much more in unexpected happenings titan the one Just closing. The political activity starts early with the election on January 10 of Joseph M. Brown as governor and Hal M.

Tm satisfied there’s no such person as Fred Walker,” says Judge Broyles. "He is merely a myth used as a con venience by Diin Shaw.” Police officials say they believe some of the big liquor houses are knowingly shipping liquor here to fictitious con signees. It is probable that Chief Lanford and City Attorney Mayson will arrange a conference with District Attorney Tate for some time during the after noon. Drn Shaw was convicted In two cases before the recorder and was fined $500 and 30 days Imprisonment In each case. Attorney John A. Boykin, his counsel, announced that he would appeal both cases and raise the question that de tectives in getting Shaw’s whisky out of the Central railway freight depot had interfered with interstate com merce.

Hayes, city building In spector. for 1911 fell oft 31,190,063, as com pared with the record of 1910, but, nev ertheless, exceeded any previous year with this one exception. The exact futures for the year Just coming to a close are 4,403 building per mits, reaching a value of 36.316.393. Last year 4,619 permits were taken out, amounting to 37.406,950.

In dlscuseing the decrease of 1911 aa compared with 1910, Mr. Hayes said that the year of 1910 was a remarkable one In many respects, and that many large buildings were started then which are just being finished now. He pointed to the new Third National bank building as one of them. “Then, too," said he. ''the city put up ■o many school buildings In 1910 that the figures were made to jump up ab normally and to show more than the usual steady Increase which has been going on for yesre with hsrdly an exception" From 1901, with 3,695 permits, at _ value of 92.652,146. to the ten-year period lng with 1911, when 4,402 permits e Issued, at a value of 96.216,392, or nearly three time* aa much, th* record shows that building and Improvements In Atlanta are going steadily forward.

Roosevelt replied on December 16: "I thank you for your frank and manly letter, and I deeply appreciate It, As you state and understand the mat ter, I am entirely In sympathy with It. That Is, I am In favor of a broad, hon est peace movement In line with the traditional policy of the country, of good will, fair treatment for all the na tions of mankind.” At tho meeting of the peace commit' tee on December 20 Secretary Bloomer, acting with the assurance of Mr. Roose velt's accord, caused the suggestion to be made that the colonel be Invited to attend the banquet as a guest of honor. This was approved by unanimous vote of the committee. At the same meet ing the form of the formal Invitations was drawn up.

Mr. Carnegld later became so In censed at the actions of some of the members of tb* committee on arrange, ments that he personally tried to have President Taft remain away. However, In this he was unsuccessful. Former President Roosevelt received a formal Invitation, but refused to at tend. The ex-president explained his rejection of the Invitation by saying that he waa not sure what the senti ment of the dinner would be, and as his views on the peace question were well known, he did not want to give affront by attacking the eubject which might form the keynote of all the other addresses.

Whatever Information the president may have received In the past 24 hours concerning the Internal dissensions among the peace diners, he made It quite plain that he regarded the obli gations of guest to host too binding to permit even a whisper of comment upon the New York situation.
