KIENT DYNSTY OF CHINA TOTTERS UPON ITS THRONE Spread of Revolution in Celes tial Kingdom Is Appalling and Peking Is. Threatened by Rebel Hordes “DOWN WITH MANCHUS” IS REVOLUTION’S SLOGAN Tien Tsin and Pao Ting Fua, Gateways to the Capital, Are at Mercy of Rebels and Empire Trembles SAS FBAMCISCO. Oct. 13.—Advices were received here today by the Chung Sal Tat 10, the Chinese Daily World, that the revolutionists in China have declared a republic, electing Di Yuan Hung president. (By Associated Press.) PEKIN, Oct. 13. —China today faces an unprecedented crisis. 'With the spread of revolutionary activity, opinion is gaining ground that the fate of the ruling dynas ty hangs in the balance. The revolution is no longer confined to the central provinces, a thousand miles away from the capital. Pekin itself is threatened. Members of the cabinet admitted today that the'garrison is known to be honey combed with revolutionary sentiment. The same condition exists in the two great military posts which guard the capital, Pao Ting Fua and Tien Tsin. There are still official attempts to min imize the gravity of the situation, but the reports reaching the capital give lit tle basis for hope. Today’s news in cluded reports that Chung King was in danger, that I-Chang had been taken, that To-Chow had fallen, and that com munication between Hankow and Chang- Sha, the capital of Hunan province, was interrupted. An edict published today offers pardon io all revolutionists “who were coerced into joining the rebellion.” The pardon is conditional, however, on their express ing a suitable repentance for their de fection. The government today followed up their act of yesterday, cashiering the viceroy of Wu Chang, by extending the same treatment to General Chang Piao, the commander of the troops in the Wu Chang district, where this week’s out break began. Every effort of the authorities for the present will be concentrated in an at tempt to provide adequate defense for the capital of the empire. The government is attempting to con vey the impression that the revolution ists are without trained leaders or ade quate organisation. But the revolution ists have a reliable chief, well versed in military in General Li Quan Hong. Secret advices received here in dicate, moreover, that Dr. Sun Yat Sen, whom the revolutionists nope to elect president of a Chinese republic, was at Shanghai last week and may by now be on the scene of operations at Wu Chang or Hankow. Consular advices received here today state that the rebel artillery has occu pied a hill commanding Hankow'. The allied foreign marines have landed and are projecting the foreign conces sions. / Desolation Holds Hankow In Its Relentless Grasp HANKOW, Oct. 13—Desolation had Han kow in its grip today. All night long, incendiary fires burned throughout the native quarters. The populace was ter rorized. There w’as a massacre of Man chu families which left large numbers of dead, and to add to the danger all the prisons were opened and the inmates released to wander about the town. The revolutionary organization is try ing to restore order and it is announced that rioters will be severely dealt with. The revolutionary army is strongly en trenched in Wu Tang, with guns mount ed in commanding positions. Since the capture of the Han Yang arsenal there has been no worry over a sufficient sup ply of ammunition and the leaders de clare confidentially they are in a position to cope with any opposition. Parties of government troops which are arriving here from time to time are met promptly by revolutionists, who endeavor to persuade them to join the movement. If they refuse they are allowed to with draw beyond the limits of the city. The American consul general, Rodgers ATLANTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 191’..

Miller, acting for the Graves estate, purchased from W. M. and George Berry farms located near Mount Zion, containing 'more than 80 acres. The price paid was between 318,- 000 and 318,000. Several land sales have been made here wltlfin the past few days totaling more than 350,000. W. A. Garrard purchased from B. Ohl man, place containing 160 acres, for 34,000. Benjamin Ohlman purchased from the owners the Glen Ford property, con taimng about 800 acres with a modern girinery on same about four miles from Sparta, for 317,000. John M.

Green, crossed the Yang-Tse river to Wu Chang accompanied by the com mander of the American gunboat Hele na, the Associated Press correspondent, and two Chinese interpreters. The party went unarmed and entered the gates of the city after they had been opened for a squad of rebel artillery to pass out. The party interviewed Colonel Li, the rebel commander, who treated them with every courtesy and assured them of their safety while in the city. The consul general gathered up 440 foreigners who had not yet left the city, including Americans, Englishmen and Italians, and took them back to Hankow. The missionaries were accompanied by 300 of their Chinese proteges. The party was unmolested on its way through Wu Chang, being ascorted all the way by a squad of rebel troops. had destroyed the foliage and left noth ing but the stalks and the fleecy staple. Off of these 30 acres there was gathered a bale to the acre and there will be another picking, if no more. Those who observed the field before the white had been gathered from the bolls said it looked like a snow storm had been visited upon It. The cotton Is rather thick and tall, of the long staple variety, and really show’ed up to better advantage and beauty to the naked eye than it does In the pho- CITIZENS OF MILTON COUNTY WANT BONDS FOR ROAD WORK Alpharetta Free Press. The Free Press has talked with * large number of citizens on the jroad question within the last few days, and it has been greatly surprised at the way they are talking bohds. Mr. W. A. Lummus was one who spoke emphatically for ,bonds. He says good roads cannot possibly be built in any other way, and the county cannot go forward until the roads ate built. j “You may quote me as being in fa vor of or 3200,000 in bonds, payable 50 years from now, for the purpose of building some highways in this county,” said Mr. Lummus to the Free Press. ”We do not want rock roads; we want 30-foot graded roads, with top soil on them. This makes the best and cheapest roads ever built In poor sections. It will cost less than a thousand dollars to build a mile of road in this way. The bonds would be paid 50 years from now by those who are to reap the benefits of the increased wealth, and It will be no burden on them whatever. I believe the citizens of the county will vote for bonds right now.” Mr. C. >P. Norman was another cit izen who spoke without mincing words. He favors bonds. "Yes-sir-ee! Why, I have been ad vocating good roads for the longest. The only way to get them is to float bonds. This we can do if the people will take right hold of the 'matter. Our county must have good roads. We must grade them and them twice as wide as they are. Say ?or me that I am now and will be for road bonds and Improvements.” There is no doubt that mahy of the 417 ACRES OF LAND NEAR FORT VALLEY BRING $19,250 ■frORT VALLEY, Ga., Oct. 14.-Smlsson & Miller closed a deal last week with Mr T. R. Ousley, of Macon, for 417 ntfTWs of land belonging to the Moss Lake Fruit Farm. This is the land lying on the west side of the public road to Macon. The price paid was 319,250. Mr. Ousley will move to his new home about December 1. The Moss Lake Farm was bought by Messrs. Smisson & Miller some few 145 ACRES OF LAND ’NEAR BAINBRIDGE SOLD Mr. and Mrs. Ward to Move From Home in Vienna BAINBRIDGE, Ga., Oct. 14.—Another land deal that brings one more family to Deactur county was made a few days ago, when Mr. Ever Ward, of Vienna, bought 145 acres southeast of Bain bridge, the deal being made through Mr. W. O. Flemming, a real estate man of Bainbridge. Mr. and Mrs. Ward will move to their new home from Vienna some time dur ing the coming winter. It is very likely yiat a stream of new settlers will be coming into this county from now on. Thia is the reAilt of energetic? work of the live set of real estate men in the county. These men are pushing the lands of Decatur to the front and the home seekers are fast finding out that th&y can find as good lands here as can be found anywhere else in the world. L. & N. Officials Hurt KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 13.—Super intendent R. £. Morrison, of the Knox ville division of the Louisville and Nash ville railroad, is reported painfully hurt: i Trainmaster H. M.

This picture, at the request of Mr. Malcom, was taken exclusively for The Journal and will, no doubt, be a stimulus to Georgia farmers, showing what can be done. If the effort will be made. Mr. Malcom is comparatively a young man, but a splendid farmer. He, In cultivat ing this crop, used a high grade acid and an 8.2 fertilizer of a very fine variety. Friends of Mr. Malcom predict that he will realize 40 bales at least from his 30 acres. best citizens are thinking about how to meet the road question. It is a matter that must be settled soon. Mil ton county simply cannot afford to go on without good roads. We are too near the very heart of the civilization of the state to be without modern roads. We are not going to remain without them —of that you may ee sure. Os course, there will be many to say that we are too poor to build good roads. That is true, and that is why w’e shall be compelled to float bonds. The county could no doubt float box)ds at 5 per cent or less—• maybe 4 per cent. One hundred thou sand dollars would cost us only sou» thousand a year In interest. Fifty years from now our county will have a tax digest of not less than twenty million dollars, and 50 cents on eact. one hundred dollars worth of property would pay the debt in one year. If we ought to have roads, let us agitate this matter. If roads are in dispensable, let us all unite and find out how to get them. Let us be broaa and unselfish. Let every ran in the county, whether he be rich or poor, think about this matter seriously, ana let us take hold of it like sensible bus iness men and make our county what it could easily be—the best one on the map. The Free Press will agitate this matter from w*eek to week, and will publish views from any citizen on the subject. We must go about it for the public good, keeping in mind that it is a big step and we must not take it without discussion of every phase of it. If we float bonds we must firsx. see to* it that not a dollar of the money Is to be wasted. That is the most im portant thing about it. months ago and sold by them to real estate dealers in SoutJT Carolina, who cut it up Into small farms, as stated exclusively in tho Tribune, and put it on the market.

MWARA TRIAL DN IN EARNEST AT LOS ABLES HW Examination of Talesman Nel- f, son Is Taken Up by Court Immediately After Session Is Declared Open WILL QUESTION JURORS ON LABOR OPINIONS • I Fight Expected Over the Right of Defense Attorneys to Ask Talesmen’s Views on Capital and Labor (By Associated Press.) LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13.—Examination of Talesman Z. T. Nelson, of Pasadena, was the first proceeding scheduled for I today before Judge Walter Bordwell In the superior court in the murder trial of James B. McNamara. Questioning of talesmen, frequently re garded aa a dismal proceeding, furnished in this case Interest to speculators and partisans, because it was expected to de fine in advance of the opening argu ments, some of the essential Issues of the trial, which is designed to shots whether the defendant is responsible for the death of Charles J. Haggerty, who, with 20 others, was killed In the Los Angeles Times explosion over a year ago- For 19 deaths James B. McNamara is held on indictment, but the state has elected to go to trial on Haggerty's case. Nelson's attitude towards labor organ izations and their members touched on at the preceding session of court, was made the subject of further Inquiry for the defense, under Attorney Clarence S. Darrow, and the rulings of the court on objections mnterposed by District Attor ney John D. Fredericks and his aides were awaited as showing what confines would be placed on the examination of other talesmen. Before Nelson's examination was taken up one more talesman was called into the box to replace one dismissed at the last moment of court on Wednesday, be cause of physical inability to stand the fatigue of a long trial. Nelson, a ruddy-faced man of 62 years, ' from the start answered questions put by counsel, with deliberation, his answers. ‘1 can’t answer that question because I’m not sufficiently familiar with the subject,” was his reply from time to time to questions concerning his attitude toward labor organizations, as he un derstood them to exist In California and elsewhere. Because of the determination of que?- X tlons Involved in the examination of Nelson, the. first talesman, It was said that questioning of other talesmen would go forward much more rapidly. The talesmen, transferred last night from ths official jury room to more ally quarters, romped like boys at their morn ing bath and appeared Immensely re freshed by the day of ease afforded by yesterday’s legal holiday- The veniremen came Into court with / bristling beards, it having developed that none of them was accustomed to shave himself. They thereupon decided to request the appointment of a bar ber who should be allowed to shave them under supervision of a "deputy sheriff. The prisoner, accompanied by Sheriff Hammel, sauntered Into the court, non ding to several friends. He took an inconspicuous seat against the rail and chatted for a minute with his chiew counsel. COURT IS CONVENED. It was 9:45 o’clock when court con vened. H. S. Poppenbush was selected to fill the vacancy in the panel. District Attorney Fredericks inform ed the court that he would like to withdraw his objection to the unan swered question directed to Z. T. Nel son on Wednesday. The question was: “With reference to the officers and men who direct the management of tn, affaire of labor unions, do you believe that the great majority of them are lawless men?” Lecompte Davis immediately asked the question of Mr. Nelson, who re plied: m 1-IlllM NEIR CORDELE BRINGS 510,000 W.

FRANCE NOYPLEASED OVER MOROCCO AFFAIR PARIS, Oct. 13.—The agreement be tween France and Germany as to their relative positions in Morocco has not been received with any special manifes tations of pleasure in France. Instead, attention turns to what France may have to pay in Congo terri- \ tory that is actually French for a con firmation of her rights in Morocco. Tie precise character of Germany's price has not been disclosed. The unrest and concern over how much the government may agree to give, weakens the ministry and causes anxiety as to what the chamber of dep uties may do when it reconvenes.
