CHINA QUAKES AS BIG

Cause of Outbreaks
VICTORIA, B. <."., May 12.—The Chi

the most powerful revolution that has

Japanese refugees from Changsna,
who arrived in Japan shortly before
sailing of the steamer Kamakura Maru,
say that speculation by the Chinese of
flcials was the cause of the recent out
break. Mr, Suzuki, a Japanese post
master, said that when rice was dis
tributed to the famine sufferers iw.Kl
year, the governor, Tseng, defrauded
the people o( 20 per cent of the allow
ance of grain and many died of star
vation.
Their bodies were collected and
buried in 'me -rave, and resentment
against the governor, together with
fears of n turning famine, resulted In
the outbreak followed by attacks on
missions and foreigners.
The statement Una Governor Tseng
had been killed is denied. It is said

FLORIDA, BIGGEST U.S.
DREADNAUGHT, LAUNCHED
'Go, Brave Ship!' Cries Maid as It
Glides Down Ways Before
Eyes of 50,000
NEW YORK, May 12.—Flying the
white starred ensign of the United
States navy at its stem, the stars and
stripes at its stern, and a string of
gay signal pennants along the aJO feet
of its deck line, the battleship Florida,
the biggest of the American dread
naughts built thus far, was success
fully launched at the Brooklyn navy
yard today in the presence of the vice
president of the United .states, the sec
retary Of the navy, the naval attaches
in' nil the powers and a crowd of 60,
--000 enthusiasts, whom intermittent rains
had tailed to keep away.
The 21,825 ton fighting leviathan,
built to carry ten twelve-inch guns,
glided down the ways to the strains of
"The star Spangled Banner," played
by the Navy Yard and Twenty-ninth
Infantry bands, while the crowd
cheered and hundreds of river craft
tooted their noisy welcome.
The Rhode island, Nebraska, Con
nectlcut, STankton and Hancock dip
ped their colors and fired a salute of
twenty-one guns as the monster fight
ing machine reached the waters.
The christening party, headed by
Miss Elizabeth Fleming, daughter of a
former governor of Florida, and spon
sor for the big battleship, moved up
the rail.
There was an ominous creaking', the
gliding and permanent ways slowly
drew apart, and Miss Fleming- sent the
champagne bottle crashing against the
ship's side.
The Florida hesitated, a moment, then
slowly glided down the ways with the
voice of Miss Fleming- clearly calling
out:
"Go, brave ship! I christen thee
Florida!"

ROOSEVELT TALKS
AND GETS DEGREE
Emperor and Empress Hear His
Address Before the Uni
versity of Berlin
WINS PLAUDITS OF NOTABLES
< 'The World Movement' Is Theme
of Former President and
It Makes a Hit '
[Associated Press]
BERLIN, May Though suffering
from an irritation of the throat that
made his appearance before the Uni
versity of Berlin a matter of doubt al
most to the last minute, former Presi
dent Roosevelt today delivered his ad
dress on "The World Movement' 1 and
won for himself the plaudits of the dis
tinguished assemblage gathered to hear
him, which had among its members the
emperor and empress. Princess Vic
toria Louise, Prince and Princess Eitel
Frederick and other members of the
royal family.
He also received ihe. honorary de- i
gree of doctor of philosophy.
Mr. Roosevelt took occasion more
than once to pay a tribute to the em
peror and he was warm in his praise of
German institutions, military and edu
cational, and of the German people.
That the former president's address
pleased his majesty was evidenced by
the fact that the emperor sought the
lecturer and remained -3veral minutes
in animated conversation with him.
Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit were
guests tonight of Chancellor yon Beth
mann-Holhveg at a dinner at the chan
cellor's palace. Others present included
the American ambassador, Mr. Hill:
Count Zeppelin, Herr Delbreuck. the
vice chancellor; Admiral yon Tirpitz,
secretary of the admiralty; Herr Bern
berg, minister of the colonies; Baron
yon Rheinbaben, minister of finance,
and many others noted in official and
commercial life.
A reception followed the dinner,
many members of the landtag being
presented to the former president.
In the course of his address at the
university Colonel Roosevelt said:
PLAY OF NEW FOKCBS
The play of new forres is as evident in the
moral ana spiritual world aa In the world of
the mind and the body. Forces for good ami
forces for evil are everywhere evident. Over
the whole earth the swing of the pendulum
grows nmre and more rapid; the whole world
movement la of constantly accelerating ve
locity.
The only previous civilization with which
our modern civilization can be In any way
compared is that period of Grueco-Roman olv-
I 11 extending, say, from the Athens of
Themlstocles to the Rome of Marcus Aurellus.
Many of the forces and tendencies which wove
then i' work aro at work now. Knowledge,
luxury an<l refinement, wide material eon
ti rrltorial administration on a vast
scale, an increase in the mastery of mechan
ical appliances and In applied science—all
these mark our civilization as they marked
the wonderful civilization that flourished in
the Mediterranean lands twenty centuries aso;
and ihoy preceded the downfall of the older
civilization.
i 'no of the prime dangers of civilization has
always been its tendency to cause the Ins* nf
the virile fighting virtues, of the fighting edge.
When men get too comfortable and lead too
luxurious lives, there is always danger lert
the sortnef* cat uko an acid: into their man
liness of flhor. The barbarian, because of the
very condition! of his life, Is forced to keep
and develop certain hardy qualities which the
man of civilization tends to lose, whether he
be clerk, factory hand, merchant or even a
certain type of farmer.
MANX! QCAUTIBS VITAL
If the average man will not work, if ho
has not in him the will and the power to be
a good husband and father; if the average
woman is not a good housewife, a good moth
er of many healthy children, then the state
will topple, will go down, no matter what
n:.!> be Its brilliance of artistic development
or material achievement But these homely
qualities are not enough. There must, in
addition, be that power of organization, that
power of working in common for a common
end, which the Gorman people have shown in
such signal fashion (luring the last half
century.
Moreover, the things of the spirit are even
more Important than the thinga of the body.
\Ye can well do without the hard intolerance
and arid intellectual barrenness of what waa
worst in the theological systems of the past,
but there has never been greater need of a
high and fine religious spirit than at tho
present time.
It would be a bad thing indeed to accept
Tolstoy as a guide in social and moral mat
ters, but it would also be a bad thing not
to have Tolstoy, not to profit by the lofty
side of Ills teachings. There are plenty of
sciontiflc men whose haul arrogance, whose
cynical materialism, whose dogmatic intoler
ance, put them on a level with the bigoted
medieval ecclestastlctsni which they denounce.
Yet our debt to scientific men is Incalculable,
and our civilization of today would have reft
from it all that which most highly distin
guishes it If tho work of the great masters
of science during the past four centuries were
now undone or forgotten.
CHARACTER IS KSSKXTIAI.
It Is no impossible dream to build up a civ
ilization in which morality, ethical develop
ment and a true feeling of brotherhood shall
all alike bo divorced from false sentimentali
ty, and from the rancorous and evil pas
sions which, curiously enough, so often ac
company professions of mental attach
ment of the things of the soul; in which
there shall be a genuine desire for peace and
justice without loss of those virile qualities
without which no love of peace or justice
shall avail any race; In which the fullest
development of scientific research, the great
distinguishing feature nf our present civiliza
tion, shall yet not Imply a belief that intel
lect can ever take the place of character—for,
from the standpoint of the nation as of. the
individual, it Is character that is the one
vital possession.
Finally, this world movement of civilization,
this movement which is now felt throbbing
in every corner of the globe, should bind the
nations of the world together while yet leav
ing unimpaired that love of country in the
Individual citizen which In the present stage
of the world's progress Is essential to the
world's well being. The good citizen must be
a good citizen of his own country first before
he can with advantage he a citizen of the
world at large.

Young Heroine Is Presented with
an Edward Medal
LONDON, May 12—The king lull awarded the
Edward medal of the second class to Hannah
liuglll. a girl of 15.

SENATE TO START VOTING
ON RAILROAD BILL TODAY
Dixon Amendment Comes First.
Los Angeles Figures in
Debate During Day
WASHINGTON, May 12.—Agreeing
to a proposition by Senator Elkins to
begin voting on the long and short
haul amendments to the railroad bill
tomorrow at i p. m.. the senate today
tuck an advanced step in the consid
eration of the bill.
The agreement provides the voting
shall be concluded With the "legisla
tive day."
The iirst vote will bo on the Dixon
amendment as a substitute for the
Heyburn provision. The Dixon substi
tute gives the Interstate commerce
commission more discretion than does
the other.
The organisation o£ Republicans are
confident of the defeat of all amend
ments. Considering that nineteen Re
publican votes will be cast for the
Dixon provision, they claim from
twelve to fifteen Democratic votes
against it. The smaller number would
give them a majority of seven. Not
all the advocates of the provision con
cede the claim. Some of them con
tend the Republican deflection will
grow to twenty-two, while they assert
that not more than eight or nine Dem
ocrats will vote with the regular Re
publicans.
Toward the close of the day's session
the senate reached an agreement to
meet daily, beginning on Monday at 11.
n. m.. instead of 12 noon. There also
was an understanding that all other
business, including appropriation bills,
should be excluded until disposition
was made of the railroad bill.
During the debate Mr. Smoot com
pl.lined the railroads did not deal with
shipments from the west to the east as
they did with shipments from the east
to the west. Having said Salt Lake
City pays more on every article
shipped from eastern points than do
Pacific coast cities, Mr. Smoot assert
ed in no instance is Chicago charged
more than New York on invoices from
the west.
"Why should the railroads wish to
build up one point at the expense of
another?" Mr. Briggs asked.
Replying for Mr. Smoot, Mr. Dixon
of Montana said by giving to Los
Angeles terminal rates the railroads
had built up a city of 300,000, while
Santa Barbara and Santa Monica,
which twenty-flvs years ago were
about the same size as Los Angeles,
had remained comparatively station
ary because of the denial of the same
favor.
CHILDREN BADLY BURNED
FLEEING FOREST FIRES
Settlers Who Have Lost All They
Owned Are Pouring Into
Grand Marais
ST. PAUL, May 12.—Settlers In the
vicinity of Grand Marais, who lost
everything In forest fires except the
clothes on their backs, began arriving
In that village today, according to re
ports by wireless telegraph.
One group arrived early today after
they had spent the night lying in the
bed of the stream. In this party were
five children who were so badly burned
they are being- cared for in a hospital
in Grand Marais.
At Gooseberry river and along
Reaver bay the flames are eating their
way fiercely through the woods. From
Parke bay to Tofte and as far back as
the eye can see, timber is on fire.
Reports received early in the day
from northern Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Michigan indicate the fires were
not burning as fiercely as yesterday,
but later reports said the wind wai.
raising again.
The estimated loss nn cut timber in
the district between Tofte and Good
Harbor will be about $f>o,ooo.
A special from Calumet, Mich., says

hemmed in by tire, and as they tried
tn break through their shoes were
burned from their feet.
JOKE TURNED ON COMPOSER
WHO KNOCKED OWN WORK
Leoncavallo Talked to Critic Who
Knew Him at 'Pagliacci'
Mir,AN'. May 12,—sjgnnr Leoncavallo, who is
recovering from a dangerous illness, recounts
an amusing experience that befell him In a
Manchester theater, where he occupied a stall
one evening to hear the performance of his
"Pagliaccl." At the finale a stranger sitting
next to him exclaimed, enthusiastically:
"What a masterpiece! What a masterpiece!"
Leoncavallo, imagining himself utterly un
known to the audience, thought it would be
fine fun to play the critic of his own work,
so chimed in, Ironically; "A masterpiece 1 I
don't in the. leant agree with you, sir. I'm
a musiican myself, bo 1 know what I'm talk
ing about, The fact in, this opera is a
worthless production and brimful of Imitations
and plagiarisms, For instance, that cavatlna
i. filched bodily from Berlioz, the duet in the
lirt-t act Is all Qounod, while the finale is a
sorry copy of one you will find in Verdi."
N< let morning Leoncavallo drove to ttie
railway station and bought the leading local
journal. On comfortably seating himself In
the t ijiln he opened it. and wa« agbait with
astonl nment al encountering* the following
headlines: "Signor Leoncavallo 1! opinion on
'Pagliaccl.' Declaration'of plagiarism, ('on
fession of a composer bereft of all original
ity." The great Italian master adds: "Evi
dently my neighbor was a Journalist who had
dogged me. but to this day I have cold
shivers every time I recall tho incident."
SIR HERBERT TREE BIG
SUCCESS AS SHYLOCK
LONDON, May 12.—The remarkable
.series of plays that has been g-ivo^ on
the stage of His Majesty's theater
during the last month reached its cli
max when Sir Herbert Tree gave a
wonderful Impersonation of Shylock in
"The Merchant of Venice."
Two years ago he fir.st gave shyioek.
He had been saving himself for it for
years. It is one of the greatest, if not
the very best, of his achievements in
character impersonations. The audi
ence was wild with enthusiasm, and
the roars of applause must have
warmed the cockles of .Sir Herbert's
heart.
Miss Evelyn Dalloy appeared for the

ATTY. GEN. CREATES
STIR AT INQUIRY
Wickersham Admits He Ante-dat
ed Summary of Glavis
Charges
DISCUSSED IT WITH TAFT
Glavis' Counsel Tries to Prove
Data Prepared to Justify
President's Action
[Associated Press]
WASHINGTON, May 12.—The sur
prise today in the Balilnger-Pinchot In
quiry was the reading by Secretary
Ballinger of a letter addressed by At
torney General Wickersham to a house
committee, in which he made the ad
mission that he ante-dated the sum
mary of the Glavis charges which he
prepared for the president.
Sir. Wickersham says he had dis
cussed the matter with the 'president
and had supplied him with a mass of
information bearing on the subject, but
the summary "necessarily was made
iin afterward, flnrt nrnnprly horn tinl
date upon which the matter it con
tained was presented to and considered
by the president."
LAWI/ER REPLIES
Coincident with the making- public of
this letter, a reply was received from
Oscar Lawler, assistant to the attorney
general for the interior department,
also concerned in the preparation of
the letter of September 13, 1909, exon
erating Ballinger and dismissing GHa
vis, stating he had kept no copy of his
memorandum.
Mr. Lawler says he prepared a re
sume at the request of the president
and delivered it to the attorney gen
eral.
In compliance with a renewed re
quest by Attorney Brandeis. counsel for
Qlavis, the committee again called on
the attorney general for this memo
randum.
Giavis' counsel is trying to prove that
Lawler, practically an employe of the
Interior department, really "tried" the
case for the president and the attorney
general subsequent to the promulgation
of the "verdict," and prepared a sum
mary in an effort to justify the presi
dent's action.
rEFFER TO QUESTION
The cross-examination of Secretary
Ballinger was almost concluded. Attor
ney Pepper, counsel for former Forester
Pinchot, will question him for a short
time tomorrow on the subject of the
withdrawal of water power sites.
Mr. Ballinger, on cross-examination,
made public telegrams between himself
and A. P. Davis, chief engineer of the
reclamation service, showing that Da
vis was now receiving pay from a pri
vate concern for examining- an Irriga
tion project in Mexico and at the same
time accepting government compensa
tion.
The secretary denied a statement by
Davis that he had authority from the
secretary to undertake private work.
Davis was an anti-Ballinger witness in
the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation.
MAY RESERVE GREAT ACREAGE
WASHINGTON, May 12.—A bill pro
viding for the opening of agricultural
settlement and development of the sur
face of lands which have been classi
fied as coal lands was passed by the
house today. The measure would re
serve about 70,000,000 acres as coal
lands to be worked on the surface for
the purpose of agriculture.

WASHINGTON, May 12.—Represen
tative Nicholas Longworth, it was an

PRETTY FRENCH GIRL
VICTIM OF JEALOUSY
NEW YORK, May 12.—Charlotte Charlon, a
pretty French girl, whose ag« Is given as 22.
was scheduled for deportation on the French
line steamship Bretasne, which left today for
Havre. She was already on the liner when an
order In habeas corpus proceedings Issued by
Judge Lacombe in the federal court here saved
her just a few minutes before the sailing time.
Her attorney, Solomon Sufrin, succeeded in
halting the deportation after, difficulties, he
said, for which he roundly scored the govern
mental system that obtains In deportation
cases.
"Miss Charlon arrived In this country six
months ago," he said, "as a passenger on the
Bretagne. She wont to work in the establish
ment of her cousin, Mme. Boussicr, who is a
modiste at 611 Sixth avenue. Three days ago
men from the United Stales Immigration serv
ice went to Mine. Broussler's place and took
Miss Charlon in custody. She was then hus
tled to Ellis Island without warning and with
out knowledge then of what the exact charge
against her might be. As far as I can find
out the Immigration authorities received an
anonymous communication to the effect that
the young woman Is of immoral character. Her
friends and relatives say her character Is above
reproach. However, among some young men
who knew her on the other side was one
whom she 'turned down,' and probably in re
venge, sent the anonymous communication
about her.
"1 went to Ellis Island and told Commis
sioner Williams that I had been retained in
the case, and that a deportation of the young
woman would bo an Injustice, and I wished to
defend her against being sent front the coun
try. 1 found that the deportation was recom
mended by a board of special inquiry on the
Island, which under the system obtaining is
not open to the public, and also 1 found that
under the system now obtaining the appeals
In a case are also taken before Kills island
officials.
"I saw Secretary Schell of the appeals board,
and he wouldn't permit me to Me the girl,
saying that final decision had been made on
the case. I could get absolutely no satisfac
tion on the Island. I then went to Judge La
combe's court and got the order to halt her
deportation."
The order In returnable before Judge La
come at 10 o'elolck tomorrow morning. A
number of woman friends and relatives of the
girl were at the ship to see her, among them
Mine. Doussler.

SAYS FLANNERY WORKED
WITH BUNCO STEERERS
Prosecutor Charges Former Fris
co Police Commissioner with
Protection of Crooks
BAN RAFAEL, May 12.— District At
torney Thomas P. Boyd of Mariin
county made his opening address to
the jury this afternoon in Judge Len
non'S court, in the case of Harry I*.
Flannery, former president of the San
Francisco police commission, who is
on trial on a Charge of grand larceny
growing out of his alleged connection
with the men who conducted the re
cently raided fake poolroom in Sau
salito.
The first witness will be Robert N.
Wood, the young farmer of Sehna, Cal.,
who was swindled out of $SOO in the
Sausallto poolroom, and whose trans
action has been made the basis of the
grand larceny charges against Flan
nery and the actual poolroom opera
tors. Wood will be followed by Jos
eph Abbot, leader of the poolroom
men, Who lias made a confession, in
which ho charges that relations exist
ed between Flannery and himself in
connection with the poolroom busi-
ness.
In his opening statement, District
Attorney Boyd touched upon the law
which declares, in effect, that a person
Who advises or encourages a crime, at
the commission or which ha la not pres
ent, is a principal. He said that the
prosecution would prove that Flan
nery had made a pact with Abbot
and his companions to conduct bunco
lions in Sail Francisco, had
known what they were doing In Sau-
BalltO, and had promised to use bis
authority as a police commissioner to
protect their "steers" who went to
San Fra.nclsCO to find victims.
In a statement made after court,
Koyd declared he had secured testi
mony eorrnbrativp nr Abbot's confes
sion, and that several surprises would
bo developed during the course of the
trial.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 13.— peas
ant named SagnotC, from the province
of Tula, where Count Tolstoi resides,
has received a provisional patent for
an apparatus called the "automotor,"
the characteristic of which is that it
needs no fuel whatever, being; set in
motion by the weight of the cargo.
The force la transferred by a system of
levers, and may develop any hots •■
power desired. All the parts of the
"automotor" are metallic. £ »
Bagnow has gone to Moscow with a
eompaniion to build an "automotor."
th« cost of which will not, he says,
exceed $250.
