PRESIDENCY IN CHINA
WILL BE PERMANENT
Office of Head of New Gov

Hereditary
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.

Fail to Show How Ship

Washington. D. C., Sept. 7.—To
day's official dispatches still left in
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 Secretary Lansing said his reports
' failed to establish exactly how the
j ship was destroyed. One dispatch from
Consul Frost referred to the Hesper

I pedoed. Ambassador Page transmlt
-1 ted Information he had received from
I the British Admiralty which disclaim
'ed that the ship had been used in
| military service at all since the be

j The official disposition is to give
I full opportunity for receipt of official
j reports from both German and British
sources. The consular officers in
| England meanwhile, will gather state
; ments from Americans who were on
lboard.
; The present position of the United

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.
