CHINESE CALL YUAN hat rn HUERTA ANH i - - V . ' Audience Refused to Representative of Nation's Ruler Failure to Replr to Expense Cable grams Arouses Ire. SAN FRANCISCO, July 25. (Spe cial.) The picture of Yuan Shi Kal. President of the Chinese republic, was torn up and spat upon at a stormy meeting of the local members of the Six Companies in the Six Companies' hall here last night. Chinatown today bristled with excitement and promi nent Chinese predicted that another furious revolution would soon break out In China. The President of the Chinese repub lic wo riTiniinced as "another Huerta, only worse." It was declared at the meeting that he had taken the office for the B'.x-year term solely for the selfish purpose of lining his pockets with the people's money. Expensive Cablegram Ignored. Trouble and discontent among the Chinese in San Francisco, together wfith other cities of the United States, extending as far East as New York, started three months ajro. when mem bers of the Six Companies sent urgent cablegrams to the President of me Chinese republic asking that he do something to improve the conditions among the Chinese In the United States. In San Francisco alone, members declare, more than $1000 was spent for telegrams to the President within three months. One long and urgent tele gram, which never was answered, cost $400. ' It is charged by the Chinese that Yuan Shi Kal willfully ignored them and that he has not their Interests at heart or the Interest of fellow-Chinese in the republic. There arrived in San Francisco 10 days ago Chul Qual. personal repre sentative of the President of the Chi nese republic. He called on the Chi nese Consul-General at San Francisco, S. C. Chu. who in turn called on the Six Companies and demanded that members give an audience and a ban quet to the President's representative. Meeting on Verge of Riot. The meeting Friday night of the Six Companies was for the purpose of de ciding whether Chul Qual should be received. The meeting opened with a vote showing about two-thirds against acceding to the demand for the Consul General and one-third in favor of it. Bitter words ensued and the meet ing verged on a riot, as President Yuan was bitterly denounced for Ignoring telegrams and insulting the Chinese in the United States. He was accused of being a dictator in dissolving his Congress by methods worse than those practiced by Huerta in Mexico. The name of Huerta was linked with that of Yuan Shi Kal. It was asserted that China faced a situation similar to that In Mexico. At every mention of the President of the Chinese republic hoots and jeers Billed the hall. Revolution ary speeches were frequent. Those who first favored receiving Repre sentative Chul Qua! are Baid to have been won over to the hostile two-' thirds. It was then that the picture of Pres ident Yuan was torn from the wall. In the excitement the picture of Li Huen Hong. Vice-President of the republic, was torn to shreds. This, it was after ward explained, was a lamentable mis take, as L.I Huen Hong had not offend ed the Chinese in the United States and was popular with all factions In China. Set-ret Kmlaaary Arrive. To add to the local ferment Lin Sun arrtved here today on a secret mission on behalf of Yuan Shi Kal. For the past few weeks Lin has been In Hono lulu quietly collecting Information as to the growth of the new political sen timent, and. It Is said, comes to this country for the same purpose. On the voyage the Chinese kept to his cabin and on the arrival of the liner made a hurried departure with local agents of the Yuan Shi Kai party. Because of the strong feeling against Yuan Shi Kal In this city Lin, it is said, will keep under close cover, fear ing a demonstration. Ho Is following on the heels of the new revolutionary delegation which arrived here several days ago from the Far East, the mem bers of which were exiled from China by Yuan Shi Kal, who placed prices on their heads. Lin bears credentials from the Chi nese government and his passport was Immediately recognixed by the immi gration authorities. According to re ports In China, Lin le one of Yuan Shi Kai's close advisers. MINT-OIL PLANT IN VIEW Farm Xear Springfield Selected for New Industry. SPRINGFIELD. "or., July 25. (Spe cial.)

Ralph Watson, corporation commis RULING AS TO UBTIOH PACIFIC IS REVERSED IN PART. Through Routes Heretofore Provided for Fruit and Lumber Retained With Railway's Consent. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 25. The Interstate Com merce Commission on reconsideration today granted the Union Pacific lines permission to close the Colorado gate ways for general triffic between ex clusive points of that system in Ore gon and Washington and points on and east of the Missouri River. This decision is a partial reversal of the recent ruling of the Commission affecting easlbound traffic via the Wallula and Silver Bow gateways. In its opinion today, the Commission says: "Connections that would ordinarily be entitled to a long haul as origina tion lines on westbound traffic have made no objection to this cancellation of gateways, and the only protestants who have appeared in this proceeding) whose interests appear to De preju diced are shippers of fruit and lumber. As to such traffic the carrier expresses its willingness to retain in Its tariffs the through routes heretofore provided. "The record shows that the Union Pacific lines afford the shortest route between the Missouri River and its stations In Oregon and Washington, and that it also affords, because of a one-line haul, better service. It does not appear, therefore, that any interest will be adversely affected by the can cellation of the through routes by way of Colorado as applied to the general traffic of the line. The Union Pacific will, therefore, be required to revise their tariffs to restore the routes and privileges heretofore existing on lum ber and fruit traffic."
