Washington, March 31-China is de-
termined to take action to prevent Rus
STA from fling at the end of the war
any claim against her for indemnity,
either in money or territory, for al
legged violations Of neutrality.
It is understood that China will pro-
pose to the powers that an internation-
al commission be organized to pass
upon Russia's allegation that China
and to decide whetRer CHINA or n Su Si
actually hes been guilty of violation
of the recognized principles Of neu-
trality. Of course it is well. under
stood that Russia would oppose such a
congress.
To Forestall Claims.
The opinion exists here, however,
that such a move would be calculated
to prevent any further charges Of the
supported by indubitable evidence, and
certainly would result, especially if a
tribunal met and passed upon the dis
Pute, in preventing any demand on the
part Of Russia for compensation from
China after treaty Of peace is signed
with Japan.
China does not propose, however,
always to continue to depend upon for
eign- powers to preserve her territorial
integrity. Russia is right in stating
that the Picking government is prepar-
ing a formidable army to defend its
territory and to preserve internal
peace. During the last three years
there have been established fifteen
military academies which are distrib-
uted among seventeen provinces and

part are Japanese army officers, tho
there are few Chinese officers who
have shown no little ability in mill
tary science.
Navy to Be Reorganized.
The Chinese government is also pre-
pairing to reorganize it's navy. The
state department. has received the text
of joint memorial approved by the
throne, which recently was presented
by the defense commission, recon:
mending the amalgamation Of the Pei
Yang and Nan Yang squadrons, the
only effective naval forces under the
Chinese flag, and placing the feet

technical and practical, necessary to

New Naval Academies.
The throne, therefore, has provided
for only two naval academies, one fol-
naval cadets, and the other for naval
engineers. The provin cial naval col
leges, which have been in existence fol
some time, will be closed. AS soon as q
sufficient force Of trained officers and
men are available, China, it is said
will take measures for the construction
of formidable navy. ~ : y
In the meantime Russia is the only
nation of which it has immediate fear
and a strong army will guard against

troops.

"HAPPY HOOLIGAN"
AT The Grand Opera House Fri.
dav Nifht. April Il.

The most popular comedies of today
are those which introduce characters
taken from the comic caricatures in
the metropolitan papers with which
one is acquainted and familiar with
the laughable incidents and pictures.
Such play is Happy Hooligan and
the characters are all flesh and blood
creatures, somewhat exaggerated in
their stage appearance, but easily
recognized as If they had walked in
from the pages Of these wel!-knOwn
publications. The scenes are from
pen pictures of that famous caricatur-
ist. Fred Opper; and Frank Dumont
has written a witty, sparkling dia-
Iogue even more humorous than he
has given his other comedies, and
several Well-knOWn composers have
contributed marvelouSly catchy and
tuneful music that is an enjoyable
feature OF the entertainment. The
comedy is one of the most uproariously
funny pieces that has ever been seen
here; in fact, it is one huge laugh.
There are three acts, each crowded
with songs, dances and mirthful

dull moment while the curtain is up.

to the newspaper. The average
reader buys newspaper for the ad-

reads the advertisements because
they are part of the paper.

RUNAWAY--MIGHT HAVE
PROVEN MORE SERIOUS

Recently DR.. J. w. Rockwell had
purchased handsome driving horse
in Chicago and on Saturday last he
hitched him up to make professional
call. His wife went with him and
they were going to have little drive
together after they had made this
call. They drove to the residence Of
Mrs. SkeelS on the west side where
the doctor entered to make his call
and Mrs. Rockwell was left in the
buggy in charge of the horse. Before
the doctor was ready to leave
cali the Northwestern freight was
pulling out Of the yards and the horse
became uneasy and nervous. Mrs.
Rockwell called the doctors attention
to the horses action and he
Immediately came out Of the house
and took the horse by the bit hoping
to hold the animal, but about as he
had him under control the engine let
out two or three sharp whistles that
frightened him again and in spite of
Mr.. Rockwell's attempt to hold him
he got away knocking the doctor
down when he started to run. Mrs.
Rockwell guided the hsrse as best she
could across the railroad track to
Charlie Mobiles house. where the
horse and carriage struck wood pile
and here Mrs. Rockwell was throws
out and the horse was free to go at
will. He went through fence the
buggy striking post when the horse
cleared himself Of buggy, harness and
the whole outfit. A. w. Gitchell who
was at work in that vicinity and saw
the runaway assisted Mrs. Rockwell
into his delivery wagon and picked up
the doctor and conveyed them to their
home, where on examination it was
found that the doctor had his right
shoulder dislocated and one limb badly
bruised where the horse had stepped
upon him, while Mrs. Rockwell was
badly bruised and considerably shaken
up. 1t was close call for both of them
and we are pleased to know that they
are getting along nicely and will soon
be able to resume their regular duties.
The horse came out OF it without a
scratch. The doctor does not blame
the horse for this accident but lays
the blame On the Northwestern freight
train employees.

FIRE ALARM SOUNDED

Monday morning just before noon
the factory whistles announced fire
in the sixth ward. The east and west
side fire companies turned out and it
was discovered that Henry Lamhert's
house on the west side was burning,
the roof having caught fire from the
chimney. Before the fire company
arrived, members of the family and
neighbors had put the fire out with
we'll water. A small hole was burned
into the roof and only small damage
done. There was quite strong wind
blowing that morning and the fire
might have been we'll under way and
done considerable damage, but as it
was they came out lucky.
