9 HIGH OFFICIALS
OF CHINA EXECUTED
Failure to Support Emperor
Is Fatal; Prince Pu Is
Among Victims.
ULTIMATUM SENT DICTATOR
two Divisions of Chang's Troops
Now Oppose Tfim Provisional
Government Established by
Republicans at Ranking.
CHICAGO, July S. (Special.) Will
lam R. Giles, in a special cable dis
patch from Pekln. China, to the Daily
News, says that by order of the Im
perialists nine prominent officials. In
cluding Prince Pu Lun, chairman of
the council of state and envoy to the
Bt. Louis exposition in 190. were exe
cuted on charges of treachery in not
supporting the Manchu cause. Prince
Pu Lun supported Yuan Shlh Kai's
monarchical scheme.
The Imperialists are acting much as
they did in the reign of the late Em
peror. A provisional government has been
established at Nanking with Feng Kwo
Chang President and Tuan Chi Jui
Minister of War.
Cliangr'a Withdrawal Demanded.
Chi Lfs military governor, Tsao Kun,
has sent aft ultimatum to Chang Hsun
demanding the withdrawal of the
troops from Pekin within 24 hours.
His troops are mobilizing. Unless
Chang Hsun withdraws they will be
marched toward Pekin.
The foreign legations are taking pre
cautions against armed disturbances.
There are signs of disaffection
among the troops in Pekin and there
Is a possibility of a military clash soon.
Soldiers belonging to the 12th and
13th divisions, whose officers were
brought over by Chang Hsun upon his
arrival, are now forcing them to op
pose Chang Hsun. They are unwilling
to act under Chang Hsun's officers and
put up with the arrogance of the pig
' tailed soldiers.
12 Provinces Oppose Emperor.
Reports from the south announce that
Feng Kwo Chang, supported by 12
provinces, is determined to oppose the
Emperor's restoration. Pie intends to
obtain control of Su Chow Fu with Ni
Khl Schung's support, then march to
ward Pekin.
The military of Chi Li are expected
to support the movement.
Shantung's military governor refuses
to allow further detachments of Chang
Hsun's soldiers to be transported over
the railway within his Jurisdiction.
It is now evident that Pekin's roil
tary leaders acquiesced In the restora
tion through fear of trouble in the cap
ltal. A reaction surely must follow, as
apparently the monarchy cannot last.
Anxiety is expressed for the family
of the deposed President, Li Yuan
Hung, which is still in the palace. It
is asserted that it was impossible to
remove them when he escaped.
Li Yuan Hung and two attendants
escaped from the palace at 9 P. M.
Tuesday through a back , door, where
a motor car awaited hirri. He went
rapidly to the Japanese legation, re
questing refuge. The Japanese, on ac
count of the possible danger to his life,
took him In.
LI Yuan Hung refuses to resign In
favor of the Emperor. The legations
hold the Imperialists responsible for
his safety.
Kdlcts Declared Fakes.
The edicts and memorials of Li Yuan
Hung that are now appearing are
"faked," as he has no knowledge of
them.
It Is not believed here that the mon
archy will be long lived, as Tuan Chi
Jui and many other military leaders
are opposing the return of the Manchus
and fearful consequences may result.
Early Sunday morning, when the
whole city was fast asleep under the
Illusion that the new Republican cabi
net would soon be working, the young
Kmperor was taken from his bed and
placed on the throne of his ancestors.
This dramatic restoration was not ex.
pected, being arranged only a few
hours before its accomplishment.
Wang Shlh Chen, Chiang Chaot Sung,
Uh' Ingh Slang and the imperial tutor,
Liang Ting Fen. went to the Emper
or's palace, where they met Chang
Hsun and the military. Perfect order
prevailed.
The coup was carried out excellently.
Eunday at nocn a series of edicts was
Issued, wherein it maintained that
Li Yuan Hung had asked that the Em
peror should be restored and that he
requested that he be punished for be
coming President, which was due to
the soldiers forcing him.
NORTIIERJf LEADERS NOT UNIT
Washington Suspects Germans Are
Backing Dictator.
WASHINGTON, July B. The revolu
tionary movement restoring the Man
chu dynasty to the throne of "China is
not being supported by all the military
leaders of the North, according to dis
patches from Minister Reinsch, re
ceived today at the State Department.
With the whole South and part of
the North solidly against the imperial
restoration the situation has begun to
clarify to a certain degree and a cau
tious feeling is expressed that Chang
Hsun may have overplayed his hand
If the anti-monarchlal forces are able
to Join in an effective co-operation it
is thought possible that the Pekin dis
trict, to which the trouble appears
largely confined, can be overwhelmed
Chang Hsun's army, however, is for
midable, and the future offers many
prospects of new alignments. It is
thought possible that German gold long
ago withdrawn from industry into
banks may have some Influence in
keeping the situation in confusion.
TOKIO, July 6. Viscount Motono,
Foreign Minister, interpellating the
Diet yesterday, said the restoration
movement in China is causing anxiety
in Japan, but as it concerns Chinese
domestic politics he believed peace in
China would best be served by Japan
remaining a spectator and refraining
from interference, at least for the
present.
EX-PREMIER OPPOSES CHANG
Dictator Is Declared Using Slan-
chus at Catspaws.
TTEN TSTN. July 5. Tuan Chi Jul.
ex-Premier, has issued an eloquent de
nunciation of the Manchu restoration,
accusing General Chang Hsun. who
played a leading part in the restora
tion, of overweening ambition and of
committing crimes of Inconceivable
magnitude. Tuan Cht Jui charged that
the General was betraying the Man
chus themselves, who were favorably
situated until he interfered. Tuan
Chi Jui said he had intended to remain
In retirement, but saw the Manchus
were being used as catspawa for
brigandage. Now he calls oh all pro
vinces to put out every ounce of
strength to save China from Chang
Hsun. Among those imprisoned by
Chang Hsun was Wang Shi Chen. Min
ister of War under the republic
A provisional government has been
established at Nanking, capital of the
province of King Su. Baron Feng Kwo
Chang, ex-oresident. of the national as
sembly, was named president; Lut
Mung Tio. vice-president, and Tuan
Chi Jui, premier.

'DRY" READERS OFF LIST
Liquor Ads Worth More to Redding
Papers Than Northern. Patrons.
REDDING, Cal., July 6. (Special.)
Liquor advertisements of local dealers
are more valuable to Redding newspa
pers than scattering subscribers in Or
egon and Washington. Because the new
Federal law prohibits mailing papers
containing liquor advertisements to
those states. Redding papers today
struck from their lists the names of
subscribers in Washington and Oregon.
The publishers are in doubt whether
they may retain liquor advertisements
and still mail their papers to the two
dry supervisorial districts in Shasta
County, California.

to have been misunderstood in some
quarters. This preference will only
apply where qualifications are equal.

plications by men under 31. In fact.
examining officers have been Instructed
to regard the ages of 25 to 35 as most
suitable.

ing about the necessity of previous
military training. The Government is
looking primarily for intelligent and
forceful men and military experience,
though desirable, is not strictly necessary.
