CHANGE OF SYSTEM PLANNED
Consular Courts Are too AutOcrati,
and irresponsible.
Rv A SsOciated Press,

by ASSOCldIGQ 9IeSS. .
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Presi-
dent has ordered the state department
to make a thoro investigation Of
United States consulates at Shanghai,
Canton and Annoy.
For a year past charges have been
flying backward and forward affect
ing the conduct Of the business at
those consulates, and the consuls
have INDUCED in mutual
recriminations and charges that have
made it evident to the state depart
ment officials that there is need for
a thoroS Invests which will form
the basis for a complete change of
consulatesain the orient.
The system of xtra-territorial juris-
diction conferred upon the consuls in
the administration of the consular
courts is believed to have become an
tiquated and twill probably be neces-
sary to frame some scheme in it's
place that will reduce the almost au-
tocratic powers of the consuls and
bring them into closer responsibility
to the state department..
The charges referred to are not
new, but, as described in preceding
dispatches, relate toscharges for mani
tests, for certifcation Of commercial
papers and the issueso OF identification
papers ato Chinese whoshav been go
ing into the Philippines,
Governor Taft long ago complained
to Washington of the practice of loose
methods in regulating .the admission
of Chinese to the Philippines and Of
the opportunity for fraud involved.

yTHEATERS TO REOPEN
Council Committee Will SO RECON-
mend at To-Night's Meeting.

Chicago, Jan. 11.--With the excep-
ton Of the upper galleries, Chicago
theaters will be thrown open to the
public within the next week, If the
committee is accepted by the city
council tonight. Radical changes
will have to be made in the way Of
fireproof stages and exits, in accord
ance with the new ordinance drawn
up by the special commission ap-
pointed by Mayor Harrison, but the
committee has decided to give the
these improvements. In the mean
time it will advise that all houses hav-
ing the main floor of their auditorium
within fifteen feet of the street level
be permitted to open the main floor
and balcony under the watchful eye
of members Of the city fire depart
ment. Sam T. Jacks theater, the
Masonic Temple roof garden and pos
sibly the La Sale theater will be kept
closed.
While under the new ordinance
scarcely a theater already in existence
in the city could opeH1its doors, only
such clauses of the new ordinance will
be declared retroactive as call for
changes deemed necessary to public
safety. These proposed changes, how
ever, will probably take from 60 to 80
days to effect. The requirement of
steel curtains, steel gridiron, steel fly
galleries, steel floor and fire proof
proscenium wall necessitate the re-
building Of the entire stage in many
theaters. In many auditoriunls the
seating plan will have to be changed,
aisles widened and exits enlarged and
made fire proof.

fishes two column article written by
Mr.. Goodnow with the consent of the
state department, explaining in detail
the effect of the new Chinese treaty,
ratified by.sth senate Hast Saturday.
For this treaty Mr. Goodnow is re-
sponsible. He negotiated it after a
failure ON the. part Of the English,
German and JaDanese 81 governments
to secure similar trade arrangements.
The treaty opens three new ports in
China to which the United States
probably will soon send consular Off

hold in China. and Mr.. Goodnow
thinks the opportunities under it for
trade will be very great.
The. report is published in New

about to investigate a number Of con-

not true. Third Assistant Secretary

TO RESPECT TREATY RIGHTS
Russia Formally Engages to Do So
in Manchuria,

Berlin. Jan. 1.-THE Russian govern
ment has informed the powers that it
will respect fully the rights any ma
ton has in Manchuria under treaty
with China This declaration is made
without reservation.
Russia gives formal expression to
this policy now in consequence of the
controversy with Japan. The Russian
reply to the Japanese demands has
been, in substance, as follows:
We cannot discuss Manchuria with you
any more than we could Australia or the
Philippines. Manchuria belongs neither to
us, nor to you. It does not lie within
the jurisdiction Iof either of us to dispose
of the future Of Manchuria.
Russia, however, is willing to OBJ
serve the treaty rights of all the pow
ers in n a1churia and now engages to
do SO. :
Russia, it is added, thus removes
from the negotiations one ef the
points upon which. Japan counted for
the moral support of other powers,
and wherein she specially had the
sympathy OF the United States and
Great Britain. - 8 &:
