Raps. Progressives
In his address before the; Republican
club h*re tonight President* Taft'said
fn part: - ' .
,-Men' praise Lincoln today and at
tack the republican, party, alto
gether forgetful of the fact that In
L.in.cclri's life the man and the party •
were so closely united in aim and
* accomplishment that the history of
the one is the history of the other.
The truth is that the history of the
last 50 years, with one or two ex
ceptions;. has been the history of the
republican party, ft
With "the effort to make the ,se
fectlon of candidates, the enactment
of'legislation and the decision of
courts depend on the momentary '
passions of a people, necessarily in
differently, informed as to the is
sues presented, and without the
opportunity to them for time and
study and that deliberation that
gives security and- common sense
to the government of the people,
such extremists would hurry us
into a condition ; which "could find
no parallel except in—the French
revolution, or in that - bubbling
anarchy that once characterized the ,
South American republics.
Such extremists are not progres
sives; —they are political emotional
ists or neurotics who have lost the
sense of proportion, that clear and
candid consideration of their own
weakness as-a whole, and that
lear perception of the necessity for
checks upon hasty popular action
which made our people .who" fought'
the revolution and I who drafted the
federalvconstitution for the great
est self-governing people that the
world ever. knew. ", ,'
It has been said, and it is a com
mon platform expression, that it is •
veil to ; prefer the "man above the
dollar, as if the preservation of
property right had some other pur- •
pose than the assistance to and the
uplifting :of human-rights. • Pri-.
vate -property was,, established as
an instrumentality in the progress. ,

THE San Francisco CALL
Mrs. Sinclair, Who
Said She Married
To Oblige Family
THOUGH CARE-FREE,
LOVE TIRES KEMP
He Deserts the Bungalow and
Author's Wife Goes Home
to Her Folks
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
NEW YORK. Feb. 12.— Mrs. Meta
Fuller Sinclair, divorced wife of Upton
Sinclair, author of "The Jungle," ac
cording to friends, is today deserted.
Only a few months ago she and Harry
Kempt. "Tramp Poet," of Kansas, went
to the home of ideal love, to a cottage
near West Point Pleasant, N. J., to
live the life of idealists, as they called
it. Now their romance is shattered.
This second "love bug bungalow" ex
perience of Mrs. Sinclair has proved no
better than the first. As the wife of
Upton Sinclair she defied convention
alities and married only because of the
feeling of her relatives. As the com-
panion of Harry Kemp she again de
fied conventionalities.
The breaking of the last alliance
came as quietly aJid secretly as did the
flight to the lowly bungalow in which
Mrs. Sinclair proposed to live the ideal
love with the carefree poet.
Mrs. Sinclair was told by her parents
that she could return to her home,
the parents absolutely refused to have
the .poet as a fixture. His love would
not bring food to the home of the
father. William Fuller, clerk of. the
court of special sessions in New York.
Sinclair is in Europe with his 10 year
old son, David,- whom he is to place in
school in that country. Until he returns
It will not be known whether the first
love of Mrs. Sinclair will be resumed fit
th«» breaking 1 off point.
The history of the Kemp-Mrs. Sin
clair-Sinclair triangle is interesting.
After the marriage of the Sinclairs the
socialist author and health exponent
declared that both hated the idea of he
ing tied together by cither a religious
or a lepal ceremony.
"We tried t<> make up our minds to
set the right kind <if example to the
world." lie declared. "But we knew
Mrs. Sinclair's father and mother would
go raving crazy if we did what our
consciences told us was right. So, U>
ease their minds, we let some one mum
ble a few words over us.
"Wf are married now and we have
seen the world and know a great many
married people, and we are a good deal
ashamed of being married ourselves.
Marriage in this day is nothing but
legalized slavery."
They were married in October. 1900.
In July, 1311, Kemp, a friend whom Sin
clair wishe<i to ajd in publishing his
works, came to visit at the Sinclair
home at Arden. In less than a month
the poet's intimacy with Mrs. Sinclair
was so noticeable that the then "love
blind" author could Bee it. So he pro
tested. Mrs. Sinclair went to New
York. Three days later the poet fol
lowed.
'For ; her initiative Mrs.* Sinclair .was
loudly praiperl by the poet. ._, Sinclair,
was described as "too purely intel
lectual' for his. wife. :In return Mrs.
Sinclair described Kemp as having "the
most perfect poet mind and lieart and
belnff^slie^Jjad^ever Juiqwll" - *• -h»v.

Municipal Palace of Song to Be

Musical Association Finances
Project; Profits to Sup*
port Conservatory
A MAGNIFICENT municipal opera
lmase for San Francisco—a pal
ace of music that will rival the
opera of Paris, L,a Scala of
Milan, the "vTagnerian opera house of
Beyreuth or any of the other famous
homes of music in the capitals of Eu
rope—is assured. It will be erected at
the new civic center In time for dedica
tion when the gates of the Panama-
Pacific international exposition are
thrown open.
Every difficulty attending 1 the financ
j ing of the project has been overcome
] after weeks of quiet endeavor, and yes
terday the results of the period of plan
ning- werp made public by Supervisor
| Henry Payot, who has been instru
mental in laying the definite founda
tions upon which it is now practically
';rp.l (hat the dream of all local
music lovers will become a reality.
Will Remove Barrier
At next Monday's meeting: of the
i rd of supervisors Payot will present
opening the way for the
! granting of a portion of the civic cen
ter property's a site for the opera
house. Its passage, together with the
authorization of the civic center bond
issue, which will he- presented to the
voters of the city next month, will re
move the last barrier tha^ stands in the
way of the success of the venture.
The new opera house, which will cost
fTSO,OOi, will be built without cost to
the taxpayers of the city, yet will be
owned and directed by the city. The
financing of the project has been ar
ranged for by the Musical association
of San Francisco, and to that organ
ization belongs credit for working out
and carrying to a successful conclu
sion the details of the scheme.
Plan City Conservatory
The Musical association, as an or
ganization, will always have a voice in
the direction of the opera house, but
will derive no profit from it. Every
cent of profit will be turned into a
general opera house fund and devoted
to supporting a municipal conservatory

ALOFT IN BIPLANE
HER TEARS FREEZE
Woman Becomes Hysterical
When Engine Dies, but Air
man Glides to Earth
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—George W.
Beatty, one of the most daring aviators
hereabouts, today took aloft from Bel
mont park Mrs. William A. Dunlap of
Nassau boulevard, who ffcr a long time
previously had declared she would
"Just love" to be a birdwoman.
The weather was calm, but bitterly
cold, when they arose from the field of
the old racetrack late this afternoon.
The biplane reached an altitude of 1,000
feet and then circled over Floral park,
Nassau boulevard and other villages in
the vicinity.
The motor stopped dead. There wv
nothing particularly dangerous about
that, for there was plenty of height
from which to glide in a long* spiral
to earth. Also, there were good'land
ing places.
Mrs. Dunlap began to scream and
was hysterical. Beatty, realising that
he had a man's size job to bring the
plane to earth»safely without any un
necessary overbalancing, was obliged
to turn arojind and grasp Mr?. Dunlap
with one hand and then maneuver his
descending planes and his balancing
apparatus with the other. But he
landed without a jar.
It was found that Mrs. Dunlap's co
pious tears had frozen upon her cheeks
and she required medical aid before
she could go to her home.

Play Near War Game With
Realistic Results
NEW YORK. Feb. 12.—A small army
of artillerymen, cavalry and infantry
of the New York national guard
stormed a hill at North Salem. West
chester county, today and, with real
shrapnel, completely demolished the old

bought for the purpose. Conditions
wen» more warlike than ever arranged
here before for battle practice.
The attack was made without pre
vious information among the-men as
to the exact location of the "fortress"
to be besieged. The artillerymen were
1,150 yards away when they first got
the range and, with quick figuring,
they unlimbered the guns, scoring hits
at the first try. Meanwhile, infantry
and cavalry worked in under cover of
the first artillery fire and closed In
within a few hundred yards, each man
firing 20 rounds at the entrenchments
of the fortress, in which dummy sol
diers were placed.
After a two hours' battle, the old
homestead was destroyed even to its
foundation stones. Captain Wise of the
United States army, who was the of

WARRING TONGS
READY FOR PEACE
Suey Sings See Light and Will
Place Stamp on Proto=
col—Maybe
A peace powwow of the four war
ring tongs-in Chinatown will be held
this afternoon at the auditorium of the
Six Companies in Stockton street fol
lowing an agreement by the highbinder
leaders to stamp their tong seals to a
document decreeing an armistice dur
ing the Chinese New Year beginning at
midnight Friday.
Three of the fighting societies tacitly
agreed yesterday afternoon to suspend
hostilities at the urgent request of
merchants, spurred on by Chief of Po
lice White's ultimatum that he would
blockade Chinatown unless peace was
restored. The Suey Sings, however, de
murrer] and said they could not get
telegrams to Ht\ their members outside
oi San Francisco in time to act with
the other tong*. L«ter. however, they
agreed to hold a secret meeting last
night, and after it stated through the
consul general that the Suey Sings'
stamp would be affixed to the peace
pact. Word therefore went to the
directors of the Six Companies to be
present at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Chief of Police White and Attorney
Carroll Cook, for the Chinese organiza
tion, also were invited to be present.
With the Spey Sings in lin*\ this aft
ernoon's gathering will witness for
the first time an assemblying' of the
warring chiefs without their body
j guards of gunmen, trusting implicitly
in the word of their opponents that no
violence will be offered. The consul
general, the consulate secretary, di
rectors of the Six Companies and
Chinese newspaper men will be present
at the conference that is hoped to end
in a cassation of hostilities.
TREACHERY IS FEARED
Fearing treachery on the part of their
hated enemies, the- Hop Sings, who
frequently have broken truce in the
past, the leaders of the Suey Sings yes
terday afternoon declined to pledge
themselves to a discontinuance of the
tong war at the behest of Chief of Po
lice White. The Suey Sings informed
Consul General LJ Yung Yew that if
•irne were allowed they might submit
a draft of their demands to the Six
Companies as a basis for a settlement
of the strife.
Upon receipt of the communication.
Secretary Ow Yang Ke& of the con
sulate called upon Hong Dai, the rich
est Chinese merchant in America, di
rector in the Suey Sings, and persuaded
him to use all hi* influence to bring the
leaders of his tong into line. Hong
Dai was Informed that the Jlop Sings.
Hip Sings and Ren Suey Ngs had agreed
to a temporary truce to last during the
New Year celebration to forestall dras
tic action by Chief White. The result
of the secretary's activity was shown a
few hours later, when the consulate
officials were informed that the Suey
Sings would hold a meeting at night to
empower its president to affix his stamp
to the peace protocol.
The precautions taken by the tong
men to protect themselves from death
were shown by the trouble ,and diffi
culties encountered by the consulate
secretary in finding them for the pur
pose of communicating Chief Whites
ultimatum. Ow Yang Kee was forced
to telephone to several intermediaries,
beginning with his own personal
friend?, extending through their ac
quaintanceship and finally reaching the
tong leaders through their confidants.

president of the Hop Sings, the secre
tary was forced to talk with 15 other
men. The,consulate officials were un
able to see any of the tongmen per
sonally. None of them will leave their
hiding places or appear in Chinatown
tonight until shortly before the hour
set for the conference. Bodyguards
and gunmen will be dispensed with,
however, for fear of a clash between
the turbulent members, while the lead

members shall not belong to any of the

document has been decorated with tl?e

GREAT TOMB OF LATE
RULER TO BE COMPLETED
PEKING. Feb. 12.—After occupy
ing the throne of China for al
most three centuries', the Man
chu dynasty, represented by the
child emperor, Pu Vi, abdicated today.
Three edicts were issued, the first
proclaiming abdication, the second
dealing with the establishment of the
republic and the third urging the
maintenance of peace and approving
the conditions agreed upon by the im
perial premier, Yuan Shi Kai, and the
republicans.
The text of the first imperial edict
issued by the throne today read*1:
We, the emperor of Chlaa, have
respectfully.received today the fol
lowing edict from th© hands of her
majesty, the dowager empress:
In consequence of the uprising
of the republican army, to which
the people of the provinces of
China have responded, th© empire
is seething? like a boiling caldron
and the people are plunged In
misery.
Yuan Shi Kai was therefore com
manded to dispatch commissioners
in order to confer with the repub
licans, with a view to the calling
of a national assembly to decide on
the future form of government.
Months have elapsed and no settle
ment is evident.
The majority of the people are in
favor of a republic. From the
preference of the peoples hearts
the will of heaven fs discernible.
Hew could we oppose the desires
of millions for the glory of ons
family?
Therefore, we, the dowager, tl-"
empress and the emperor, hereby
vest the sovereignty of the Chinese
empire in the people.
Let Yuan Shi Kai organize to the
full the powers of the provisional
republican government and confer
with the republicans as to the
methods of union, assuring peace in
the empire and forming a great re
public with the union of Manchus.
Chinese, Mongols, Mohammedans
and Tibetans.
We. the empress dowager and the
emperor, will thus be enabled to
live in retirement, free of responsi
bilities and cares, and enjoying
without interruption the nation's
courteous treatment.
Empress Thanks Yuan.
At an audience yesterday the empress
dowager thanked Yuan Shi Kai for his
successful efforts in obtaining good
treatment for the imperial family from
the republicans.
The publication of the edicts ha*
given profound relief to every on© in
Peking, both foreigners and Chinese.
The arrangement is considered a satis
factory compromise and it Is believed
that the terms will satisfy the repub
licans. The first edict provides that
the terms shall be communicated to
the foreign delegations for transmis
sion to their respective governments,
the object beMng to record worldwide
republican pledges.
Republicans' Pledges
In consideration for abdication, the
republicans make eight pledges to the
emperor, as follows:
First, the emperor shall retain
his title and shall be respected as
a foreign monarch the em
peror shall receive an annual
grant of 4,000.000 taels until the
currency is reformed, after which
