PRESIDENCY IN CHINA

Office of Head of New Gov

I

WILL MAINTAIN REPUBLIC

Decision Made to Continue Re

publican Form of Government

and Not Restore Monarchy

By Associated Press

Peking. Sept. 7.—To obviate the

necessity of again obtaining the rec- j

ognition of foreign nations the gov

ernment has decided tentatively to

maintain the form of a republic in- |

stead of restoring a monarchy, but to j

make the presidency permanent and

hereditary, according to information ]

obtained to-day in high official quar

ters.

General Li Yuen-Heng, who was re

ported to have resigned the vice-presi

dency on September 2nd, presided at

a session of the advisory council and

the newspapers have been authorized

to announce a reconciliation «of his

views with those of President Yuan

Shai Kai.

In a message sent to the council to

day President Yuan Shai Kai said:

"It is my constant duty to protect

my country and my people and my

f-pecisil duty to maintain the republic.

Recently many citizens from the prov

inces have petitioned the acting par

liament to change the form of gov

ernment. a proposition which is in

compatible with my position as presi

dent. But as the presidency is con

ferred by the people it should depend

on the will of the people.

"Moreover 3ince the acting parlia

ment Is an independent body free

from outside interference I should

not express my views before the peo

ple or the acting parliament but as

any alteration in the form of gov

ernment makes a radical change in

the executive power, I cannot remain

silent even at the risk of misinter

pretation.

Change Is Unsuitable

"I regard the proposed change as

unsuitable to the country's circum

stances. If it is decided upon hastily,

serious obstacles will arise. The citi

zens' object is naturally only to

strengthen the foundation of the state

and Increase the prestige of the coun

try. If the opinion of the majority

is consulted good and proper means

undoubtedly will be found.

"Furthermore as the constitution

of the republic is now being drafted,

by due consideration of the country's

condition and by careful thought and

mature discussion a suitable and

practicable law will be devised. • I

commend this to your attention, gen

tlemen of Li Fa Yuan (parliament)."

The advisory council, ac.ting as a

parliament under a recent presidential

order, is virtually a nominated body

of sixty men to whom the so-called

peace society has presented a peti

tion, circulated by that society, call

| ing for the re-establishment of a

| monarchy.

Washington. D. C., Sept. 7.—To

doubt whether the Allan liner Hes-

I perian was sunk by a torpedo or a

j mine. The State Department and the

! White House continued to delay any

| action or decision.

I the British Admiralty which disclaim

'ed that the ship had been used in

j reports from both German and British

sources. The consular officers in

TWO AUTOSW

IN CARLISLE FLOOD

Harrisburg Party Marooned in Five

Feet of Water Until Rescued

by Firemen

Carlisle, Pa., Sept. 7—During three

hours' continuous downpour yester

day afternoon, 4.53 inches of rain fell.

Roads and streets were badly washed

and all the small streams in the neigh

borhood overflowed in a short time.

At the home of L. S. Sadler, east of

town, the water rushed through an

old water course and washed away

about 200 feet of a heavy brick wall

along the side of a run.

Two automobiles were caught on

the road and were surrounded by about

five feet of water, compelling the oc

cupants to climb to the top of the ma

chines for safety. Some of them,

however, watied to high land and were

thoroughly drenched. One machine

was owned by Morris H. Bishop, of

1731 North Fourth street, Harrisburg,

and the other by A. Crist of Lebanon.

The Union automobile fire apparatus

went to the rescue of the marooned

parties and the firemen waded through

the water and attached ropes to the

machines and pulled them to high

ground. Other automobiles were held

on both sides of the flood for several

hours.

Houses and stores in the flooded sec

tions were considerably damaged and

cellars filled with water.

Among those caught in the flood

were Sylvester L. Sadler and a party

of friends who were returning home

in an automobile. The waters rose

so rapidly that they were compelled

to wade hfp deep to safety.
