Disorder at Paotingfu Put Down
'- by Loyal Soldiers After
" AU-Jfight Battle.
PEKIN, July 7. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Dr. Sun Yat Sen is
regaining his prestige in Canton
and his ex-friends are rallying
again to his support, according to
reports to foreign legations here.
The situation is serious and fur
ther fighting in the neighborhood
of Canton between Sun's forces and
those of Chen Chiung-Ming,. who
deposed Sun June 16, is inevitable.
in the view of the legation s inform
ants. Anti-foreign sentiment in north
ern China, which reached a climax
in the Boxer uprising of 1900, has
disappeared, in the opinion of the
Fekin and Tientsin Times.
This paper contends that the
conduct of the recent civil war near
Pekin and Tientsin without a sin
gle reported hostile act toward for
eigners is sufficient proof that the
Chinese no longer feel antagonistic
toward the nationals of other
countries.
British Unpopular in South.
The paper points to some anti
British .feeling in southern China,
due to the inability of the British
colony in Canton to recognize the
claims of the southern leader,
while a similar attitude is shown
.toward the Japanese. Sporadic out
bursts may be expected, thinks the
Times, biit it believes the possi
bility of any general anti-foreign
upheaval has passed.
PAOTINGFO, China, July 7. (By
the Associated Press.) The 23d di
vision of General Wu Pei-Fu's
army, which is stationed here along
with other troops, mutinied' -last
night and attempted to loot the
city. Loyal troops attacked the
mutineers with machine guns, and
after an all-night battle crushed
the revolt.
i
Order In Restored.
Late this afternoon officials re
ported the situation well in hand
and order restored.
This is the second abortive mu
tiny among troops under General
W'u's banner within three weeks.
The previous outbreak occurred
June 21- at Hsinho when the 26th
division revolted. A gunboat quelled
that mutiny and seized all the di
vision's ammunition.
The city of Paotingfu, 70 miles
southwest of Pekin, has been Gen
eral Wu Pei-Fu's military head
quarters since early in his success
ful campaign against the Manchu
rlan dictator, Chang Tao-Lin. Trou
ble among the troops based there
would indicate a serious condition
in the army of the one leader of the
republic on whose strength mil
lions are depending to bring China
out of her political and military
chaos. '

Evangelist Declared to Kave In
duced Young Girl to Leave
Home for Gospel Work.
YORK, Pa., July 7. (Special. 1
Rev. E. H. Mussellman, 25 years
old, a preacher of the Gospel Her
ald society, has been ordered to
leave the city by Mayor Hugentug
ler. He refused ,to comply with the
mayor's demand. The city execu
tive insists that he will place the
preacher under arrest and commit
him to jail if he attempts to hold
services here.
Rev. Mr. Mussellman was taken
before the mayor following a dis
turbance at one of his meetings, in
which he was slapped in the face by
Guy Campbell. The mayor com
mended young Campbell for the at
tack and told the preacher to leave
the city. Campbell had questioned
Mussellman as to the whereabouts
of his sister, Grace Campbell, 17
years old. The preacher refused to
tell where she was. It was then
that the attack was made.
The CalHpbell family charged that
Rev. Mr. Mussellman entices girls
away from their parents and fur
nishes them with sex literature to
read. It was learned today that the
Campbell girl had been sent by
Mussellman to Cleveland, where, he
said, she is engaged in GoBpel Her
ald work. The accused preacher
said that he merely teaches the re
ligion of Jesus Chris.tj

bidden anyone to discuss the matter

mation you must see the archbishop

Priest Saya Story True.
A priest, whose name must remain
out of the story, said, when "asked
about the case:
"Most interesting. Of course it is
true. I mean to this extent, that
there is an extraordinary occurrence
in a convent. 'Personally I regard
it as nothing short of supernatural."
. The priest then asked if the re
porter had seen another clergyman,
whose name cannot be disclosed.
"He interviewed her," continued
. the first priest. "He describes it a?
. something out of the ordinary
( phases of life. See him."
The second priest was found at an
institution where he was conducting
a retreat. Reporters had gathered
; proof that he had talked freely and
sympathetically of the case and had
put his views into a four-page
manuscript, but he denied to the re
. porters who visited him that he
! knew anything about it.
"I will not even discuss it with
you," he said.
NOTORIOUS BOBCAT DEAD
Animal That Had Long Preyed on
Livestock Killed.
OLYMPIA, Wash., July 7. (Spe
cial.) With the hide of an excep
tionally large bobcat, brought to
Glen R. Bach, federal predatory ani
mal inspector here, today came' the
report, of the killing of an animal
which this year had destroyed lambs
valued at more than J10O0, in addi

Adams county, by Hunter Lee Land.
It weighed about 70 pounds and is
known to have been committing de
predations for at least four years.
Federal hunters in the state de
stroyed 328 predatory animals in
June, a slight decrease from the
May record because of the hot
weather, during which coyotes do
not move so much.

Investigation of Plan to Offset
Hazards of Agriculture Is
Asked by Oregonlan.
THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, D. C, July 1 An in
vestigation of government crop in
surance for farmers was proposed
in a bill offered fn the senate by
Senator McNary of Oregon. The bill
was introduced at the behest of
farmers and agricultural champtong,
from all parts of the west. In a
speech explaining his bill Senator
McNary declared thaC this congress
had done more than any of its pre
decessors to better the condition of
the farmer, but that much" more
waited to be done. - ,'
"Today I offered a concurrent res
olution providing for the appoint
ment of a joint congressional com
mittee consisting of three members
of either house to investigate the
subject of crop insurance, with
view- to -determining the practicabil
ity and expediency of creating
government crop insurance bureau,
or other agency," he said. "This
mportant subject has jiever re
ceived the attention it merits, and I
propose that 'congress make a thor
ough and accurate survey, touching
upon all the elements involved in
such a considerable undertaking.
Farm Profits Uncertain.
"There is no industry subject to
as many vicissitudes and hazards as
farming. A year s toil and crop In
vestment may be destroyed in
night. . This threatening possibility
is one of the reasons that drives
farmers to the already over-con
gested, cities, resulting in a condi
tion both uneconomic and fraught
with social evils. The farmer s eco
nomic status is directly dependent
on nature, and legislation that tends
to stabilize his crop production and
minimize his losses is worthy of the
most studious investigation by the
congress.
"Excessive heat or rain may ruin
his planted fields. His gardens or
orchards may suffer from the frosts,
the lack of heat or drought. His
growing grain or fruit may be in
jured by plant diseases or suffer
damage by wind storms or hail.
Insurance Is Proposed.
"The plan I propose by the reso
lution contemplates a study of all
forms of crop insurance and the in
clusion in a general legislative bill
of all forms of losses against which
insurance may be practicable.
"For many years the farmera have
carried tleir fire risk. Indeed, there
are more tnan 2000 mutual fire in
surance companies in the country
today actively, prosperously and
soundly engaged in lire insurance.
The total amount of insurance which
they now have in force exceeds
$8,000,000.
"Insurance contracts against loss
of grain by hail are issued in some
of the ' northern states and have
worked to the benefit of the grain
growers. A certain anfoimt of fire
insurance has also been written on
standing grain in some states in the
west. This form of Insurance is most
common where the wheat is left
standing until thoroughly ripe and
dry and then cut. and threshed in a
single process. .
Haxards to Be Offset.
"I realize it is not practical to en
act legislation that will justify' the
issuance of an insurance policy
covering all the nazards to which
crops are subject, but in my judg
ment a number of serious hazards
may be included in a ipollcy. If legis
lation of this character can be
worked out money made in the fat
years woul assist in carrying the
farmer over during the lean years."
