For 15 years an exile from his native land ex-: cept for secret hurried visits In dis-; guise. Dr. Sun Tat Sen. the revolutionary leader who probtfbly will be chosen presl-j dent of the new republic has returned to China and will arrive at Canton tomorrow. Advices received today by the Chung Sai Yat Po, a local Chinese paper, say that Canton Is preparing to give Dr.

Thousands of natives are pouring into Canton from the surrounding country to participate in the demonstration. i From Canton Dr. Sun will to Shanghai where a peace conference between the Manchu government' representatives and the revolutionists is now 4 'being held.

WHEREABOUTS SECRET. Until recently the whereabouts of Dt. Sun has been kept secret by revolutionary leaders In this country- He traveled in cognito from New York to Europe and took passage for China from Marseilles, passing through the Suez Canal. He probably reached Singapore yesterday. Dr.

Sun, who Is credited with having presonaUy done more than any other man to bring about the political revolution was forced to flee from China about 15 XJ years ago. Since then, he has been re- ported among the Chinese In various of the world though the fact was never publicly advertised, aa the imperial government has kept a price of about $75,000 gold, on Dr. Sun's head, dead or alive, and numerous attempts have been made to kidnap him.

Brilliant Military Spectacle Is Added Attraction for Boys and Girls IID Millionaire Stokes Is Too III to Appear in Court to Finish Testimony.

Mrs. Stella Singleton, Miss Graham's Sister, Also Unable to Testify. NEW YORK, Dec: 14. The trial of the "shooting show girls" hurried to its close today. The attorneys expected to finish their summing up in time to let the jury have the case before adjournment tomorrow.

Lillian Graham, her friend, Ethel Conrad, and W. E. D. Stokes, the middle-aged millionaire they shot, have completed their testimony. If Mrs.

Stella Singleton, Miss Graham's sister, had been able to testify, the defense planned to put her on the stand today. Mrs. Singleton has been confined to the house since Tuesday, when she tottered out of the courtroom and fell in a faint, unable to endure the train of the exciting trial. Although both sides would like to examine Stokes a little further, his condition will prevent his appearance in court for at least two weeks and the attorneys have decided to close the trial without taking any more of his testimony. Stokes'' physicians, who spent practically the whole night at his bedside, said this morning that the millionaire had passed a bad 'night and that his condition was critical.

Soon after court opened the attorneys for the defense said Mrs. Singleton was on the verge of nervous prostration. This left only one new witness. Police Inspector Russel. who said he did not notice on Miss Graham's throat the marks she testified had been left there by Stokes' fingers.

A slight fire In the building caused an early recess today. M'CARTHY HEALTH BOARD IS OUSTED Superior Judge Seawell Gives Tayror Appointees Their Old Jobs. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 14.

Through an arrangement made with Manager Max Friedman, the school children of Oakland and surrounding cities will he given an opportunity to see the birdmen fly at the Motordrome next Saturday afternoon. The occasion will be TRIBUNE Day and this paper Is going to "bear half of the expense so that matter of a few cents will not stand between tho youngsters and their seeing one of the most wonderful exhibitions of modern times. Elsewhere In this Issue will be found a coupon which, together with 25 cents, will admit any boy or girl under fourteen years to the grandstand next Saturday. Special arrangements have been made for preserving order and the youngsters will be well looked after by the management.

Grown-ups also will enjoy the day for the sight of so many school children gazing In wonderment at the daring stunts of Masson, Cooke, Simon and others will be In Itself a treat. MOTORCYCLE RACES. In addition to the flights of the aviators, men who have won fame all over the country will ride on i motorcycles around the saucer-shaped half-mile track with a speed that caused spectators to gasp with astonishment. Thousands of children as well as grown folks have never seen an exhibition like the one furnished at the Motordrome. Not only does It appeal to the true lover of sports but from a scientific standpoint.

It arouses the boy to mental reflection and stimulates a desire on his part to take a hand In the big and great things of the world. The Motordrome Is a feature in itself. It was constructed scientifically with a view to making it the fastest track of its kind in the country. Nearly two miles a minute have been made by a motorcyclist over the boards. The track is built at a slant of 45 degrees, this being necessary- In order that the great speed may be maintained.

Such riders as Wolters, the daredevil speed -burner who clipped the tall from Masson' aircraft last Sunday hurtled thirty feet Into the arena and came I out alive, are to be seen at each performance at the Motordrome. Then there are Balke, Armstrong, Seymour, Samuelson, Albright and many others besides the amateurs. COOKE IS A BIRD. "Weldon Cooke, the young Oakland aviator, Is always good for a pretty flight and his wonderful skill in alighting calls (or the admiration of the audience each time. Masson flies almost out of sight, circling above the arena like a vulture and swooping to the landing place from hundreds of feet above while the spectators hold their breath.

Numbed by the chilly upper atmosphere, Masson could hardly get out of his machine last Sunday following the accident In which- Wolters was hurt by crashing Into the lail of the aeroplane as It alighted and ran upon the track. But at that he was one of the first to reach the side of the injxired rider, showing that he is quick to think and quick to act, both of which are necessary for the make-up of the sucessful aviator. Sunday will be the big day of the exhibition, for on that occasion will be held the military maneuvers conducted by Battery National Guard, and other full equipped. Bombs will be dropped from airships in an efSort to determine the efficiency of such practice In dispersing a body of soldiers. The battery will be In charge of Captain R.

In connection with the maneuvers on Sunday the soldiers will give an exhibi tion drill and show the manner of going into action on the field. The four three-inch, field pieces will be placed in action and discharged at the birdmen In an effort to prevent them from dropping their bombs into the encampment. As on last Sunday, the program will be polled off In rapid succession so that there will be no tiresome "delays. There will be something doing all tho time, beginning at 2:30 on both days.
