OPEN DOOR IN MANcHUR1A-
Details Of the Chino-Japanese Treaty
Received Here.

Important details of the treaty between
China and Japan signed at Peking today
have reached the State Department by
cable. China consents to lease to Japan the
Lao Tung peninsula, at the southern ex-
tremity of which are Port Arthur and Dalny.
That territory was formerly held by Russia
under lease from China. China also con-
cedes to Japan the control of the railway on
the peninsula and northward as far as
Chang-Chin. That is one of the spurs which
connect with the Russian Siberian railway
system. and the point named will probably
mark the division between Russia and Japa-
nese control.
China also comedies to Japan the right to
build railway from Antung, on the YaIu
river, to Mukden, the ancient capital of
Manchuria, probably along the line of the
famous old military or caravan road. It Is
provided, however, that at the end of a GER
tain period the road may be purchased by
China
Most important of all Of the provisions of
the treaty, however, Is an article whereby
China agrees to open to the worlds oom-
meree and trade sixteen principal ports and
cities In Manchuria including Harbin, the
modern Russian capital of the province. and
its most important railroad center, thus
marking, in the opinion of the State De-
partment officials. the final success of the
fve-year struggle of the United States for
the open door,

FIGHTS OF A FATHER.
Interesting Decision by the Controller
Of the Treasury.

VI Iue treasury
The controller of the treasury has rem
oered decision that the father Of a child
Is the proper person to receive the earnings
of that child. The decision was rendered
on quaint sort of letter from the post
master at Uniontown, Fayette county. Pa.
This was the letter of the postmaster.
My daughter Is clerk in the post office
She is minor, and her mother demands
that pay the money to her and not to the
child, as she lives at home and all her
wants are supplied. Her mother wants her
to save at least part OF her money. Can I
pay the money to the mother and take her
receipt for the same?"
The controllers answer Is that during
the lifetime of the father he is entitled as
a general rule, to the services of his minor
chlldren where there is no agreement ex-
press or implied, that payment be made to
the child. AT law, however, a mother has
no Implied right to the services of her
minor children, she not being bound for
his or her maintenance
II you nave not emancipated your
daughter and Still retain control over her."
writes the controller, which you seem to
do from your statement that she lives at
nome and all her wants are supplied and
claim the right to her services and earn
ings, you would be authorized to pay the
amount due her for services and receipt for
the Same as her father. You would not be
authorized to pay her wages to her moth
er and take her receipt for such payment
If You have reiinqutshed your right to the
services of your daughter and do not de-
to receive her wages payment should be
made to her"

the cruiser completed the voyage In less
than twelve days, towering tnearly 400
miles a day.
