DR. SUN’S LITTLE TIN GOD IS FOUND.

Chinese Notable had Offered Reward

of $10,000 for Recovery of Idol—Is

Discovered in New York.

WASHINGTON, D.C., June 3.—The power of Yaun Shi-kai is broken forever. And Dr. Sun Yat Sen will some day return to his people to rule them in happy republicanism. It is, if you believe that the recovery of Dr. Sun’s “little tin god” has anything to do with guiding the destiny of China. Dr. Sun does, as evidenced by the fact that he offered a reward of $10.000 in fifty American newspapers for the return of the little jade idol.

It is declared by Allister [sic] Crowley, secretary to Henry Clifford Stuart, who conducted the search, and who has gone to New York to bring the little god back to its rightful owner, that the idol’s loss was directly responsible for Dr. Sun’s decline of power and the failure of the present Chinese government.
