UNITED STATES WILL JOIN WITH

WILL CALL A HALT ON RUSSIA
CHINA WILL BE URGED
TURN DOWN DEMANDS OF
CAR.

Washington, April 26 - The dis
patches from Pekin announcing the
terms which Russia has named to
China for the carrying out of the
Manchurian agreement were read With
deep concern in diplomatic circles yes
terday morning.
While the diplomats are not dis
posed. for obvious reasons, to publicly
comment on them, it is expected that
Britain and Japan will join in a firm
note to the Chinese government, .n-
sisting that China do not gree to the
conditions which Russia seeks to I'm
pose. 1t is rather expected in d.plo-
matte quarters that the United States
will take the initiative, possibly be-
cause of the prompt action taken by
Secretary Hay on one other occasion
when Russia sought to
Secure an Agreement
with China which was held by this
and other powers to be inimicable to
their interests The interests OF the
United States, Great Britain and Jap
as to bring these countries closely to-
gether in this matter.
Secretary Hay will take no action
in the matter urtil he has communi=
Gated the facts to the president and
has learned the latter,s wishes.
The present impression here is that
the Russian action is distinct breach
of faith with the United States. The
Russian government pledged itself
three times formally. and the docu-
ments are of record, that the open
door should be maintained in Man
churia and Russian troops would be
withdrawn as soon as peace was re-
stored. Finally the latter promise
took the shape of a treaty stipulation.

REQUEST DENIED.
Recomm endation Approved in Case OF
Application for Refund.

Application for Refund
A short time ago ]. /. Atchison, a plum
Der, wrote to the Commissioners requesting
the refund of 500, which he claims was
enormously paid to the District for per-
NIT for excavatng The w. tier stated that
July % last he applied at the plumbing in
spector's office for permission to connect
premises in the rear of 1865 Bacon street
with the sewer in an alley which bisects the
block. The plumbing inspector examined
his map, which showed that there was u
sewer in the alley, and the request was
granted. After digging up the pavement
and making the necessary excavation, Nj.
Atchison discovered there was no saver in
the alley, and that the map of the plumb
ing inspector was incorrect He advised
the District authorities of the situation
and asked for a permit to connect the
premises mentioned with sewer in Bacon
street.
The request of Mr. Atchson for second
permit was refused until he should pay the
District for its work in taking up and re-
laying the pavement He paid the amount
asked under protest, claiming that since
the authorities had given him incorrect in
formation to the sewer in the alley, he
should not be made to pay for the work
done by the District in an effort TO connec.
with a sewer which existed only on the
map.
The plumbers request for refund of the
sos was referred to Capt Chester Hard
ing, assistant to the Engineer Commission
er, who recommended that the request be
denied.
This recommendation has been approved
by Commissioner Macfarland and Acting
Engineer Commissioner Newcomer.
