Caliornia are making haste to get
enrolled on registers, in order that
they may be in a ssition to combat
any attempt of belligerent anti
sutfragist to take away the ballot
which was given to women at the re
cent election. When it became known
that nearly complete unollicial returns
from all parts of the state assured
women of a majority of more than
2,400, demands for enrollment of wo
men on the register were maxle. In
Oakland, Sun Jose, Marysville and a
score of ether places in the northern
part of the state and in many places
in the south women were registered
without question.

PEKIN IN TERROR;
REBELS ADVANCE
Birth of New Republic Declared
in Wuchanj.
Revolutionist Forces en Route to
Meet Imperial Troopa -Fora-iegn
Consuls Notified.
Ixinclon A dispatch from Shanghai
to the Central News says that a re
public hits been declared at Wuchang
and that the rebel leader at Hankow
has notified foreign consuls that a new
government has been established.
The rebellion is spreading rapidly.
Formidable outbreaks have been re
ported at Tientsin and Paotingfu, and
similar outbreaks are expected at any
moment at Canton and Nanking.
The authorities at Pekin are in a
panic. A strong force of rebels has
left Hankow to meet the imperial
troops from the north.
The rebels have commandeered
trains and forced terrified engineers to
take them where they demanded to go.
Revolution Near Capital.
Pekin With a revolution nesring
the gates of Pekin, the government
has partly abandoned its efforts to
minimize the situation, and it now ad
mits not only that the republican up
rising has gone beyond the confines of
the more central provinces, but that
the entire imperial army is honey
combed with disaffection. Not a di
vision is absolutely to be trusted, it is
said in Pekin.
The revolutionists are well organ
ized and have formally proclaimed the
republic. It is reported here that the
president chosen is Li Yuen Hung,
lieutenant commander of the new im
perial army, though it is believed that
if this is so his election is temporary.
Dr. Sun Yat Sen is still regsrdod as
the man who eventually will have the
place. Dr. Sen was reported to be in
the United States recently, but is said
by some to have returned to China, by
way of Singapore, which for some
time past has been headquarters for
the revolutionists.
Hankow has been ravaged by out
laws, who are not connected with the
revolution, and the revolutionary
suthorities are making every effort to
restore order. The announcement was
promulgated officially that rioters
caught in acts of lawlessness will be
dealt with summarily. The revolu
tionary army is strongly entrenched
and it is the policy of the heads of the
movement to give protection to foreign
ers of all nationalities, hoping thereby
to demonstrate that they have the situ
ation in hand and to win sympathy
from abroad. It is no secret here
that the dynasty is regarded with
more or less contempt by the repre
sentatives of other governents, and
the consuls are continuing their policy
of insisting upon strict neutrality.
The rebels are under command of
General LI Tuan Hong, who is an ac
complished military strategist, and
are otherwise well officered, despite
reports to the contrary circulated by
the government
Women "Gloriously Happy."
New York The National headquar
ters of the woman suffrage organiza
tion are In gala dress over the news of
the victory in California. "We are
gloriously happy," declared Dr. Anna
Shaw, national president of the suf
frage party. This is the beginning of
the end. The victory in California
gives to the cause as many voters as
in the five other states where we
have previously won. Kansas, Ore
Ron and other Western states are
bound to follow the lead at the next
election."

ELECTRIC TRUST BEATEN.
B'g Monopoly Can No Longer Dictate
Retail Prices.
Washington, D. C. By the sweeping
decree entered in the United States
Circuit court at Toledo, the backbone
of the so-called electrical trust was
broken and in the judgment of Attor
ney General Wickeraham the govern
ment was equipped with precedents of
genuine value in its prosecutions of
commercial combinations forbidden by
the Sherman law.
Meeting the government's charge
that the trust controlled the lamp
business of the country, regulating by
agreement prices at which all lamps
were sold, the decree severs all con
nection between the General Electric
company and the National Electric
Lamp company. The latter concern
and all its subsidiaries are ordered
dissovled.
The important principle was laid
down, according to the attorney gen
eral, that once a lamp is sold by a
manufacturer, the price at which it is
resold by a dealer or jobber must be
open to free competition. The decree
was acquiesced in by the defendant
companies and this gives the govern
ment the moral certainty that there
will be no appeal. After the Supreme
court's decision in the Standard Oil
and Tobacco cases, Mr. Wickeraham
said, the electrical companies ex
pressed a willingness to withdraw
their original answers and submit to
a decree, Mr. Wickeraham added:
"The National Lamp company and
all its subsidiary companies are or
dered to be dissolved, and the General
Electric company is forbidden hereaf
ter to conduct any business in the
manufacture or sale of electric lamps
except in its own name. The practice
of fixing the retail price on any style
of lamp is hereafter forbidden.
"The method by which competition
in unpatented articles has been sup
pressed through the use of a patented
article is declared to be unlawful and
is forbidden. The practice consisted
in a system of contracts with dealers,
jobbers and consumers by which they
were compelled to agree to purchase
from defendants all their supply of
carbon lamps on which the patent had
expired, as a condition to the right to
purchase certain lamps known to the
trade as tungsten, tantalum and metal
ized filament lamps, which are patent
ed, it is still asserted.
"By means of aggregating dis
counts on lamps claimed to be patent
ed with discounts on lamps not patent
ed, another weapon was used to sup
press competition in unpatented
lamps.
"Both these practices had the effect
of continuing a monopoly on an aritcle
long after the patent had expired, by
tieing up its sale with a patented arti
cle which the trade required.
Fruit Fly Real Menace.
Sacramento In an effort to prevent
the Mediterranean fruit fly from en
tering California, State Horticultural
Commissioner Jeffery has cabled a
quarantine order to Honolulu directing
that no bananas or pineapples shipped
to California until a method of pack
ing which shall insure that no peat is
carried in the wrapping is adopted.
The reports brought back by E. K.
Cranes, superintendent of the State
insectary, who returned from the is
lands recently, indicated that strin
gent precaution's are necessary.
Fisher Appoint Brook.
Washington, D. C Secretary of
the Interior Fisher has selected Alfred
H. Brooks, for ten year geologist In
charge of all work in Alaska, to suc
ceed A. Willard Hayes as geologist in
chief of the geological survey. The
appointment will be made immediate
ly upon the arrival here of Mr. Brooks,
who ia returning from Alaska. Mr.
Brook is native of Michigan and
ha been in the geological aervice of
the government 16 year.

WAR ON "SOFT DRINKS."
Dr. Wiley Begins Inquiry Into Ingred
ient Used.
Washington, D. C. An order for
the immediate consideration of the
perplexing questions, "What is beer?"
"What is vinegar?" and "What is a
soft drink?" was passed by the board
of food and drug inspection at a meet
ing in the office of Dr. Harvey W.
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemis
try and chairman of the board. The
three problems have been under con
sideration nearly two years, but mem
bers of the board have been unable to
agree. Vinegar will be the first sub
ject considered by the board. Hear
ings have been held on the subject of
pure beer, vinegar and soft drinks.
It is the contention of Dr. Wiley that
pure vinegar should be made only
from cider, and that vinegars made
from malt, sugar, molasses, wine and
other ingredients should not be brand
ed as "pure vinegar." Dr. Doolittle
is said to hold similar views.
Action against "soft drinks" sold
from soda fountains will be taken.
The government police power will
give Dr. Wiley the opportunity to
enforce his rulings in Washington by
confiscating impure drinks at local
soda fountains.
"The pure soft drink should contain
only a pure fruit extract, sugar, spice
and pure water," said Dr. Wiley.
"If I had my way, no other soft
drinks would be permitted on the mar
ket." CORN CROP WILL BE SHORT.
Flax Only Leading Staple to Show
Increase Over 1910.
Washington, D. C. The govern
ment's crop report estimates that corn
will yield 256,000,000 bushels less
than last year and that flax is the only
important crop to show a greater har
vest than in 1910.

SEVEN DEAD IN
TRAIN WRECK
Passenger and Freight Meet
Head On In Nebraska.
Twenty Injurad Army Corp Aid
Rescue Engineer Say He Had
No Order.
Omaha Seven persons were killed
and 20 injured, four of them serious
ly, in a collision between Missouri
Pacific passenger train No. 105, north
bound, en route for this city, and a
fast freight train.
The wreck, which occurred at Fort
Crook, ten miles south of here, is be
lieved to have resulted from a misun
derstanding of orders on the part of
the freight crew. A passenger train
due to leave this city for the South
about the time of the accident waa
converted into a relief train and sent
to the scene of the accident, and later
returned here with the uninjured and
several of those who were slightly in
jured. All of these were sent on their
way. Those more seriously injured
are being cared for at the Army hos
pital at Fort Crook.
Governor Gilchrist, of Florida, who
was a passenger on the northbound
train, was uninjured.
Passenger train No. 105, out of
Kansas Ctiy, in charge of F. R. Tra
vel's, conductor, was running late. L.
P. Gross, conductor of the freight
passed South Omaha at 8 :30. He had
"signed off" but evidently did not
check the train register as to the
whereabouts of No. 105.
At the point of collision the track
make a sharp curve, shutting off the
view of the Fort Crook station. It
was at this point that Engineer Craw
ford of the freight sighted No. 105,
which at as coming at high speed. En
gineer Crawford, it is said, had no
orders in regard to No. 105, but he
whistled and slackened speed. When
the passenger did not answer he con
cluded it was a train on the adjoining
Burlington tracks.
When within a few car lengths of
each other, both engineers realized
the danger and reversed their engines.
The momentum of the passenger train
however, was so great that in a mo
ment it was piled high upon the freight
engine, which had almost stopped.
The crews of both engine jumped.
Dr. John Colliver, of Los Angeles, a
passenger in the Pullman, rushed to
the front and worked heroically to as
sist the injured.
The crew and uninjured passengers
formed themselves into a band that
worked under the direction of Dr. Col
liver until the arrival of the Army
medical corps, from Fort Crook, under
Major Dale and Lieutenant Clark.
A call was sent to Omaha for medi
cal assistance The engineer of the
passenger declared he heard no whistle
from the freight train. He said he
was not going over 25 or 30 miles.
ATTACKING TURKS LOSE.

tion of 24 hours after the ultimatum

pedo boats in the Adriatic when they
were saluting, ignorant that hostili
ties had broken out.
President ' Set 'Em Up." ,
San Francisco Every officer and
enlisted man on the flagship Caifornia
drank the president's health in Cali
fornia champagne, the treat being pro
vided by the president. Although
other naval formalities were duly
observed when the president came
over the side of the flagship, it was
noted that the regulation salute of 21
guns was not fired. It was learned
that the salute had been omitted at
the special request of the president,
who desired that no avoidable noise be
made on Sunday.
