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.

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.”

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

it could easily be—the best one on

The Free Press will agitate this
matter from w*eek to week, and will

public good, keeping in mind that it is
a big step and we must not take it

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
