July 28. Dr. Sun Yat Sen, who wa3 the first provisional President of the Chinese Republic and led the revolution against Manchu rule. cabled the following proclamation, to day to the Associated Press: "Shanghai, .China, July zi. wnen three months ago Yuan Shi Kai uncon stitutionally -concluded the loan with the bankers representing the five pow ers, almost Immediately after the dis covery of documents implicating the Chinese government in the assassina tion of the Nationalist leader.

ALMOST DOZEN IN BREAK "There Is "ot Going to Be Any IH nanclal Trouble," Says McAdoo, Who Adds That Big Crops, Will . . Be Moved Easily. WASHINGTON, July 28. Secretary tlcAdoo issued a statement tonight flatly charging that the decline of Government 2 per cent, bonds to 95Vi a new low record was due "almost wholly to what happened to. be a cam paign with every Indication of concert cd action on the part of a number of influential New York City banks to cause apprehension and uneasiness about these bonds In order to help them in their efforts to, defeat, the currency bill." - . . Banks throughout the country bought almost the entire J70.ti82.130 of the 2 per cent bond3. Their market value today was approximately $30,000,000. lower than when the banks bought them. Almost : all the entire issue Is used as security for National bank notes. At the present price, however, the discrepancy between the market value and the issues of notes against the bonds is covered by what is known as the 5 per cent redemption fund, de-? posited by the banks with the Treasury to care for the retirement of National hank notes. ' Tno Percent Worth Par. Secretary McAdoo announced it was not his intention to require the banks to charge off the present depreciation below par. but that the banks might continue to put in the bonds at par in their statements to the Controller of the Currency "until some material change in conditions should compel the adoption of another course." In his statement Secretary McAdoo declared the 2 per cents were worth par, notwithstanding their decline in the New York market, and continued: "The idea seems to be that the coun try bankB, which hold about two-thirds of the 2 rer cent bonds and use them as the basis for their circulating notes, may be induced to unite with the New York City banks in opposition to the bill if they can be made to believe that the proposed currency measure is going to injure those bonds and cause losses to the banks. This is, of course, un founded. Follr for Banks to Sell. "It is folly for any bank to sell Gov ernment 2 per cents at a sacrifice be cause of any proposed legislation ad verse to Government, as no such leg islation will rise. In the 124 years of its existence the Government has kept faith scrupulously with its creditors and it Is not going to change its honor able character now. If the necessities of any bank oblige it to sell bonds at depressed prices, that, of course, is an other matter a matter solely for the bank to determine.'" The Secretary said that not only had nothing occurred to Impair the value of the 2 per cent bonds, but that the amendment already adopted by the banking and currency committee of the House enhances their intrinsic worth. evr MeMure Increases Value. "1. Because the banks and all other holders of 2 per cent bonds are given a privilege, not now possessed, of ex changing the 2s for 3s without the cir culating rights, at the rate of 5 per cent per annum on their holdings, present or hereafter acquired, and so long as they do not make the exchange they may retain or sell and buy the 2 per cents and exercise the circulation privilege attached thereto. "2. At the end of 20 years the Gov ernment will pay at par and Interest at 2 per cent bonds which at that time remain outstanding. In view of the fact that the 2s have no due date and are payable after 1930 only at the op tion of the Government, the definite promise of payment at the end of 20 years is distinctly beneficial to the holders of the 2 per cent bonds." The Secretary said he had hoped the hanks would not consider a suggestion from him impertinent. "In many quar ters there is a disposition on the part ot tne nanus to restrict legitimate cred its," he said. "There is nothing in the situation to warrant such a course. The banks should not rut undue restraints on business." Stringency Easily Met. Should any unusual stringency ap pear, the Secretary said that it could easily be met through resort to the $500,000,000 emergency currencv now held in reserve, which can be Issued if me Din! neea it. oy use of the re sources of the Treasury Department, "In conclusion," the Secretary said iiu tinpiitt&is, mere is not going ;o be any financial trouble and the large crops now in prospect are going to be moved without difficulty, and the pow ers of the department will be exer cised In their greatest amplitude for the protection of business interests of ine country. withhold' payment of the loan tempo rarily, knowing that the Chinese peo ple would denounce Yuan Shi Kai for the murder and that Yuan Shi Kai would suppress their protest by force of arms. My appeal fell on deaf ears and Yuan Shi Kai. supplied with funds by the loan, sent troops into the Southern provinces to dismiss the Governors and subjugate the people because they did not approve of high-handed actions and Insisted, on a thorough investiga tion of the murder of General Sung Chiao Jen. 'The Province of Kiang Si resisted tho Invasion of the Northern troops sent by Yuan Shi Kai and other prov inces rose and joined with Kiang SI to drive him away from office. 'The present war will terminate as soon as Yuan Shi Kai retires from the Presidency, which he has disgraced. 1 cannot bear to see my life work de stroyed and the despotism of the Man chus replaced by that of Yuan Shi Kai. 'I will fight for the people s right eous cause, which, notwithstanding great odds, must ultimately triumph. The powers, misinformed of the sit uation in China, have assisted Yuan Shi Kai with funds, which caused t5 present war. I earnestly appeal to all desiring peace and an early cessation of a long and sanguinary conflict, entailing much misery, to cease giving further finan cial assistance to Yuan Shi Kai. I make this appeal in the name of hu manity and justice. w V I A sjpsq f f 4 If 5 t S 1 XV. G. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury, Who Charges Wall Street with Financial Plot. ART PREFERRED TO MATE W. E. Samuels, of Rainier Wants Divorce From Wife Who Left Babe. OREGON CITY, Or., July 28. (Spe cial.) Charging that his wife told him she "was never meant to be married and that she "preferred to be an artist to raising a family," and that on May 1 she had told him that she was going away to Canada and never coming back, w. E. Samuels, of Rainier, Or., has filed suit in the Superior Court here for divorce from Florence Sam uels, to whom he was married in Cen tralis, Wash., October 29, 1911. In his complaint Samuels sets, forth that there has been one child born of their marriage, and that four weeks after the babe was born his wife left him and their child and went to Cen- tralia. He complains that on account of this he had to stay away from busi ness. On February 13, 1912, Mrs. Sam uels returned to live with him. and the couple moved to Rainier, where they lived happily for one week. Mrs. Samuels then displayed "a cold indifference to him and his child," he says, and packed up her baggage and went to Chehalls. . On May 1 Samuels followed her there and implored her to return and live with him. and i wap then, he alleges, that his wife felt the combined call of art and Canada and left him, adding as a parting word that she "wanted to get where even his name "could not follow her." REBELS ABANDON ATTACK . Cont Inued from Pa One. and maintained a brisk fusillade. The government warships shelled the rebel position, but many of the shells fell in the foreign settlement. The firing on both sides continued intermittently for three hours. The Northerners are holding their ground. Wu Sung has not been bombarded, although the foreign Consuls were warned that the warships would open against the forts tonight. Kear-Adrniral Reginald F. Nicholson commander of the United States Asi atic fleet, who was proceeding up the Yangste River on the cruiser Sara toga, telegraphs the legation -here that tne situation at Ku Ling has been re lleved by the departure of the rebels. Chinese Barred From Legation. The diplomatic body of Peltin met yesterday and agreed to fulfill the re quest of the Chinese government that Chinese be no longer permitted to re side within the legation quarter, such residence being contrary to the pro tocol under which the foreign quarter was established. The government fears that plotters or assassins might lodge in tne notei. The diplomatic courts have refused the Chinese government's request for permission to search foreign shipments and foreign residents and to courtmar tlal foreigners caught within the Chi nese military lines. There is much filibustering going on and there are persistent reports that Japanese officers are aiding the rebels. Vice-President L.1 Yuen Heng. in an interview, is quoted as saying that Japanese concessions amounted to Jo, 000, 000 for mining the province of SUICIDE ATTEMPTS FAIL Alexander Lumlberg Dives Under Auto and Before Streetcar.

His first attempt was at 9:30 o'cloc last night when he threw himself front of an outward bound Mississippi avenue carat Cook street. The motor man stopped the car just a few feet way from him. Five minutes later, as Dr. Frank W Wood was coming up the hill in his autombile, the man made a sudden dive In front of the car. Dr. -AVood tried to swerve, but the car was not going fast enough. The wheels passed over his body, while the bruise and wound on his head are due to the dive that he made. Conferences Expected to Solidify Third Party Ranks In Senate. Members Hope to Get Votes From Regular Republicans. . WASHINGTON, July 28. A division in the Republican ranks over the re vision of the tariff became apparent to day when nearly a dozen Progressive Republican Senators began a series of conferences to perfect substitute sched ules that will be offered to the tariff bill under the leadership of Senators La Follette and Cummins. The Progressive Republican move has grown 'out of the belief of the leading Senators identified with that faction that they woul1 be unable to support Senator Smoot's substitute for the woolen tariff. The Smoot substitute was prepared some time ago and in troduced at the time the Democratic tariff bill came back from the finance committee. . ' Fight' Is Centered. The Progressive Republicans prac tically have agreed to center their fight about the La Follette substitute in the hope that they can carry the remainder of Republicans with tbem and possibly win some Democrats. Progress on the tariff bill in the Senate was slow today. Prepared speeches were made by Senators Town- send and Warren. liepuDiicans, ana short assaults occurred throughout the afternoon upon specific items, which the Republicans held to be too radical reductions from existing rates. The conferences, which began today. are expected to solidify the Progressive element and to bring about a new alignment of the Republican forces. Substitutes May Have Support. Senator La Follette's cotton and wool substitutes and Senator Cummins' metal substitute were under considera tion in the conference today and prob ably will be supported by the Pro gressives. It Is expected that a substi tute sugar tariff, similar to that which Senator Bristow succeeded in getting through the Senate in the last session of Congress, will have strength be hind it. The Senate had completed the con sideration of rates on chemicals, drugs, oils and like products today and had started on the earthenware and glass ware schedule when adjournment was taken. Senator Warren attacked a remark made several days ago by Senator Williams that the last election gave him authority for the statement that the people favored a tariff for revenue only. Senator Warren maintained . that there was no such majority expression of opinion. because the Presidential election was three-cornered and the Democrats won by a minority vote. Promises Betrayed, Is Charge. 'Atrociousi betrayal of pre-election promises' was his characterization oi the Democratic tariff bill. The Repub licans and Progressives, he said, were united on the tariff question and the popular vote, so far as tariff was con cerned, was more than 2,000.000 against protection and about 0,000,000 for .pro tection. The result of the election by states for protection or revenue tariff would have shown, he added, only 14 states for the Democratic policy and 34 for a protective policy. Under this calculation President Wilson would have received only 152 electoral votes, while protection would have had 379 votes. Senator Warren declared the pending tariff bill warranted a feeling of ap prehension and its enactment into law would force American industry to com pete with all the wox-ld. Members of Congress, he said, could fool them selves into the belief that a tariff for revenue would not result' in lower wages and depressing- times, but they could not fool the people, "who will be quick to act" when they discover that the tariff has injured them.
