Moreover, the money hat you save, if deposited with this bank, '
will earn interest another advantage that a saved dollar has over
the, spent dollar. We invite savings accounts in any amount

Peking, China, Feb. 27th. The new

The Great Republic of China," the
word ''Griat" being intended to include
Thibet. Turkestan, MongolU and Man

It has practically-been decided to con
vert tins Forbidden City into a govern

will be Bituated. 'After the Empress
Dowager and the Emperor I ave the.
extensive grounds about the Winter
Palace, ii will be converted into a pub

An elaborate official reception is pre
paring for the deputation coming from
Nanking to notify Yuan Shi Kai of his
election as president. But the people
seem indifferent to the momentous vis
it. Telpgrams have come, from various
parts of the country making various
suggestions regarding the future capi
tal. It is believed th it Yuan is secretly
Working to divide ih' south on that
question. Although Yuan realizes the
necessity of uniting the country, he is
proceeding confidently, knowing that
he has means of defeating his oppo
nents.
Apparently the cimntry strongly fa
vors him fur PreeiJeut. Many eo'diers,
who are not repuhlicnu, have given him
their full support and he his the confi
dence of both Chine e and Manchus.

Bill Introduced For Such Govern
ment Action Would Lower
Rates To Public.
Washington, Feb. 27. Senator Gard
ner, of Maine, has introduced a bill un
der which the government would tal e
over the properties of the txpres con -
panies and operate them as a part of
the postal service to the rural delivery.
The measure indicates the probable cost
of taking over the properties as fol
lows:
R al property $1,932,169, equipment
7,381,405, materials and supplies $138,
210, advance payments on contracts
$5,836,606 and' franchises, good wi
etc.?f H. 877,369, a total of $39,165,819
While the balance sheets of the com
panies show other assets of nearly
$150,000,000, Senator Gardner argues
tnat tnese are Lot devoted to express
service and that this property might be
retained by tie corporations without im
pairipg its value. It is proposed by the
authors of the-bill for the establish
ment of the postal express including
members of both branches of Congress,
tnat rales charged tor express service
under the government Bhall be based
upon weight and length of haul rather
than upon the system in effect for the
carrying of the mails. The power to
fix rates should rest with the postolTic
Department, subject to appeal to the
interstate Commerce Commission.
Senator Gardner in a lon statement
analyzing the bill declares that the
transition of the express business from
private corpoiationa to government con
trol ceuld take place in a day and the
business continued on the morrow with
out visible change to the public in the
( ffectiveness of the Bervice. He ex
pects to create sentiment in favor of the
bill with the.argumf nt that rates b:ised
upon the quantity and distance of ser
vice performed would -work no din
crim nation against tny business,
wherever located, and that the systom
provided would meet the opposition
urged against the proposed "parcel
post," calling for a flat rate, which
small merchants say would work to the
advantage of large mail order houses.
" While the pitl introduced does not lix
rates, Senator Gardner offers figures
showing that express charges in this
country are now sixteen times higher
than freight chances and indicating
that under the postal system this nil."
could be reduced to about five ami one
half and one and one half at the same
time the express business wou'd be in
tended to the entire country.
