B to 12- Great Clearing Sales in Progress All Women's Suits, Coats, Dresses, Skirts, Waists, Furs, Etc, Reduced , China soon is to have another revo lution, according to present local indi cations, and the followerse of Dr. Sun "Tat Sen will be the leaders and promi nent Chinese in Portland and other parts of the United States will be among its organizers and supporters. It is predicted by Portland Chinese that this new revolution will be the most systematically, adroitly and se cretively engineered revolution in the history of the world, and that Tuan Shi Kai, president of the Chinese re public, will be overthrown and Dr. Sun Yat Sen elevated to his place. Two of the most prominent leaders in the Chinese Nationalist League, which is said to be behind this new move ment, will be in Portland tonight. They are Dr. S. Y. Fung, ex-secretary to Sun Yat Sen, T. C. Koe, ex-Commissioner or Commerce. They have been making an extended tour of the country. Elaborate preparations are being made by iocal Chinese to give them a memorable reception. A com mittee composed of the foremost Chi nese merchants and a number of promi nent Americans will meet the party at the Union depot this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Quarters have been engaged for them at the Portland Hotel. A din-' ner has been arranged in their honor tor 6 o'clock. Protest on Loan Sent to Wilson. So certain are the Chinese of Port land that the supposed mission of Dr. Fung and Mr. Koe will be successful that they have telegraphed to Presi dent Wilson protesting against the proposed loan of $10,000,000 by the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co. to the present Chinese government. Similar messages were sent to the Pres ident by Chinese in other parts of the country. Like appeals were sent to the Morgan banking-house. The following telegram was sent by the league to the Morgan banking house: "(Ve will not recommend the loan of any money to Yuan Shi Kai," and is rigned by Lee Quin, president of the local society. Similar teiegfams have gone to Mor gan & Co. from more than 100 branch leagues, Chinese student bodies and other organizations throughout the country. It has been represented to the Chi nese of Portland that financiers are seriously considering the proposed loan, but that they are desirous of learning the sentiments of Chinese residents of America. It Is reported, on what appears to be good authority that concessions to some of the most valuable of China's natural resources have been offered by Yuan Shi Kai as an inducement for the speedy consummation of the loan. Among these are a number of hitherto untouched mining properties and oil fields. - President Called Dictator. The reasons given by the foremost representatives of the progressive Chi nese in America for opposing any loan of money by this country to President Yuan Shi Kai is that he is not a real President, but an absolute dictator, as President, but an absolute dictator, un scrupulous and conscienceless. They also say that Yuan Shi Kai never was elected by the will of the people, but by force of arms and a lav ish expenditure of sioney, and that, since assuming his office, he has vio lated the constitution of the republic in every way. It is predicted freely that within three months he either will be ousted or assassinated and Dr. Sun Yat Sen elected in his place. "This loan." said a Portland Chinese resident yesterday, "ostensibly is to be used for building roads and other im portant public improvements, but ac tually it will go, our organization be lieves, toward paying the soldiers. among whom there is much dissatis faction and frequent mutterings be cause of the t non-payment of their long over-due salaries." Dr. FunR Has Thrilling Career. Dr. Fung, who comes to Portland tonight, is said to be one of the lead era of the party that is trying to over throw Yuan. He is only 27 years of age, but has a remarkable record of accomplishment for one of his years. He has been editor of a number of newspapers and . magazines printed in the Chinese language, is president of the Chinese Free Masons in the United States and vice-president of the Chi nese Nationalist League. He probably will be elected president of the latter organization at the annual meeting on December 25. He was born in Hongkong and was graduated from the University of Toklo and from Queens College, Hongkong. He became chief historian and chancellor of the exechequer un der Yuan Shi-Kai and later was elected Governor of the Province of Canton. He was imprisoned in Pekin when the Nationalist Assembly was dissolved by President Yuan. About 50 of his fellows were beheaded. He escaped to his home in Hongkong. Later he was jailed In Hongkong on the complaint of Yuan but proved that he was a British subject and was released after two da,ys. He has been appointed by the Chinese Nationalist League, which has headquarters in San Francisco, to travel over the United States and ex plain the true condition of affairs in China to the people of this country and to Chinese residents of America. Ex-War Secretary In Wuhington, General Wong Hing. who was Secre tary of War under President Sun Yat Sen,, and, Tze Yim Bark, who was a member of first Chinese National As sembly, forcibly dissolved by Yuan Shi Kai, are now in Washington, D. C, for a conference with President Wilson re garding the efforts being made by rep resentatives of Yuan Sai Kai to nego tiate the $10,000,000 loan. . Their object is to explain the true situation in China at the present time, . and to endeavor to block the making of this loan. Both General Wong Hing and Tze Yim Bark, who was also Vice-Governor of Canton province, are refugees, with a price set upon their heads. The following reception committee has been named to meet the Portland visitors at the Union Depot today: A. H Averill, H. D. Ramsdell. Dr. Andrew C. Smith. Fred W. Jobelman, John H Stevenson, Thomas M. Hurlbnrt nr r H. Chapman. Dr. K. S. Latourette, Isaac Swett. Colonel Robert A. Miller, Lee Quln, president Chinese Nationalist League, Portland.

School Contract Is Let. The School Board at a special meet- Affldavlta of 17 Officers of Company Say Firm la Solvent and 100 Investors Attack Suit. Opposing the suit of Swan Hawkin- son and others against the T. B. Potter Realty Company to .have a receiver named to take charge of the affairs of Bayocean Park and admiister them on the ground that the concern is prac tically bankrupt, a motion was filed by the defendants in the Circuit Court yesterday asking for a court order de nying the petition for a receiver. The motion . Is supported by 17 affidavits from officers of the company and by petitions from 100 purchasers of prop erty in Bayocean, who ask to be in tervenors as defendants. The motion is also based on the statements of five plaintiffs, among the su wno appeared in the original com plaint as plaintiffs, asking that they be allowed to withdraw from pressing the suit. Arguments were heard by Judge Gatens yesterday on the merits of the suit and an application for a temporary receiver was denied. The hearing was continued until next Tuesday, when attorneys will argue the case further. - Affidavits filed yesterday include one by H. L. Chapin, general manager of the T. rs. Potter Realty Company, who sets.iortn tnat tnere is no cause what ever for a receiver to be named, as the assets of the company are far in excess of liabilities. The net assets are listed as $929,172. It Is recited that among the plaintiffs are a number of trouble-makers, and tnat ii are behind in their payments. xne petition of lotowners who ask to be made defendants declares 1648 lots of the gross sale price of $890,336 have been sold and that $573,020 has been fully paid.

Mayor Albee addressed more than 700 pupils of the higher grades of the Buckman and surrounding schools yes terday afternoon in' the assembly-hall of the Buckman School. He explained operation of the commission form of government in Portland, urging upon the boys and girls of the city the im portance of preparing to take charge of the city government when they are part of the electorate. "Fair play," he said, "is one of the essentials of a good and honest citizen, and it is a good slogan to adopt and carry out. It is next to the golden rule and really part of the golden rule. Character is everything in a citizen. I want these boys and girls to under stand they have a friend in the City Hall. One and all always will have access to the Mayor to talk ' to him about their own affairs.- Come and see me and tell me your affairs and if I can help you at any time I shall be happy to do so."

Or., with his father and two other small brothers, according to a letter which Dr. Calvin S. White has received from G. C. Bel linger, superintendent of the Oregon State Tuberculosis Hospital at Salem. Mr. Bellinger says the boy's mother died in the state hospital soon after the child's birth.
