ENGLAND AIDS JAPAN
Warns France, 1t 10 Said, to Become
Neutral

The London Times, in strong edito-
rial warning to France of the extreme
danger and gravity of the situation in
the far East and appealing TO that gov
eminent not to treat the Japanese pro-
tests light-heartedly, says it has reason
to believe that Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe has spoken very strongly TO the
French government on the breaches of
neutrality permitted to the Russian Pa
cifc squadron.
Special dispatches from Toxic to the
London morning newspapers represent
that the Japanese feeling is becoming
highly inf1amed at Frances alleged fail
ure to prevent Ostentatious disregard for
the principles of neutrality by the Rus
sian Pacific squadron. The Toxic Asahi
bluntly describes Frances assurances
that she would preserve neutrality as
falsehOods. and declares that Japan
would be justified in bOmbarding French
territory. 1t calls on the government
to take vigorous action.
Among japanese officials in London it
is asserted that France put off Japan
by fair promises in order to give ROjest-
vensky time to effect a junction of his
forces and that the Russians are now
given every privilege provided they keep
just outside the three-mile limit. The
report from Tsingtau that the Russian
squadron is off Vanfong, which is an in
let containing the port Of Hondkohe, the
Three Kings being rocks near the en-
trance Of Nanfong bay. is held to con-
firm the Japanese assertion that Rojest-
vensky is still cruising in French
waters.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent
at Toxic says that in response to Japan's
second protest, France intimated that Ro-
jestvensky had been ordered to leave
Honkohe.
The Times correspondent at Toxic re-
ports that the Japanese Chamber of
Commerce are taking concerted measures
to cease all commercial transactions with
French citizens.

COLOSSAL RAIL WAY STATION.
Great Structure Which the New York
Central Will Erect.

The plans for the New York Central
station in New York have at last been
made public. The plans involve the use
of an area Of more than nineteen city
blocks. between FOrty-second and Fifty
seventh streets, Madison and Lexington
avenues. The suburban trains will be
on lower level than the express trains.
The suburban cOncourse will provide for
nine tracks. The express cOncOurse will
be slightly depressed below the street
level, and will provide for 30 passenger
train tracks, baggage tracks, mail
tracks and s express tracks, making 43
tracks in all. The main entrance to the
station is on Forty-secOnd street.
The architectural composition is three
massive arches, each arch being 80 feet
wide and 90 feet high. Beyond these
arches one enters an enormous ticket
lobby at the street level. 90 by 800 feet.
On the right of this lobby. and prac-
ticaliy a part thereof, is the outgoing
baggage room. After purchasing ones
ticket and checking ones baggage. one
proceeds to the express train By entering
a gallery overlooking the grand con-
course, and thence to this concourse.
which Is on the level OF the express
tracks. This cOncourse is approached by
four grand staircases, each % feet in
width. 1t is the largest in the world,
being 160 by 40 feet, and $50 feet high,
with wide entrances at each end extend
ing to Madison and Lexington avenues.
The waiting rooms contain twice the
area of the waiting rooms in the Grand
Central station as it is at present. At
the subway level there is provided a loop
for quickly dispatching the suburban
trains, and provision has also been made
for possible connection with the rapid
transit system. An officer of the COM
pany states that the cost of the new
terminals and the electrifcation of the
same will be between $2Q000O00 and
SO, 100000.

TORNADO IN KANSAS.
MARQUETTE is STRUCK AND
MANY KILLED.
Town Is Devastated by Terrific Wind
and Left a Heap of Ruins-Houses
Twisted to Match wood by the Ele-
ment's Fury.

Marquette, Kan, practically lies in
ruins, and at least twentyfour per-
sons were killed and nearly 100 in
jured by a tornado which swept the
residence part of the village while the
1900 occupants of the houses were
asleep.
Early Tuesday morning there was a
terrific roar from the south, and what
had been a gale became Il hurricane.
Gathering fury, as it swept through
the town, it dashed itself into torna-
do and cut a clean swath through the
residence section, almost lodging the
business part of the village.
The work of destruction was done
within ten minutes. Persons sleeping
Or in their beds and frightened women
and children. awakened by the blasts
and crOuching in terror. We're in most
cases knocked over by the terrific on
slaught which loOsened the houses
from their foundations or sent them
crashing to the ground.
In a score of cases roofs were taken
from the houses and carried hundreds
of yards. Nearly all the structures
were of wood. and the side Of one of
these was blown in. killing family
of five as it slept. Several others. who
had rushed from their dwellings, when
they feared to remain longer in them,
were killed or injured by flying TIM

houses just as the final blast came,

died down almost at once after the de-
structive blasts-a scene of devasta-
ton was presented. In the path of the
tornado hardly any structure was left
tenantable. Streets We're blocked with
debris, trees which had withstood the
storms Of a generation were uprOOted
or snapped off, and everywhere excited
members of families were running
about seeking their loved ones. In
many cases they found them dead,
and in many more they found them
lying under wreckage, severely in
jured
a business block in the principal
street was made into hospital, and
there the injured were carried as fast
as they could be found. Sometimes
whole families, scattered by the wind
which had made their residence
scrap heap, were reunited there
In others no trace of the friends
could be found and a score of search
ing parties are clearing away the
wreckage in the hope Of finding vic
tins still alive under the wreckage.
Physicians arrived this afternoon from
Salina and other cities on special
trains and aid has been offered by
many places.
4 freak of the storm was the escape
of Ruth Cooling an infant ? years old.
She was sleeping in her cradle when
the storm lifted it from the bedroom
at the same time with the roof. and set
it down right side up on the debris.
The baby was uninjured.
