(From a stan Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Consderable agitation has been go
ing on i'm the Sixth Congressional district
over rumors that the bureau OF forestry
contemplated the establishment Of addi-
tional reserves in that district or adding
to the districts already established. Judge
I<inkaid. in response to a number of let
ters received from constituents today had
a conference with Chief Forester clifford
Pinchot with view OF ascertaining what
the departments intention was in the mat
ter. AS a result Of that interview Is is safe
to say that no more forest reserves will
be established in the Sixth Nebraska dis
trict nor will there be any additions made
to the reserves already established Judge
Kinksid in addition called on the president
in relation to the same matter.
General Quartermaster's Depot Bill.
Mr.. Kennedy today introduced a bill pro-

cause the season just closed has been
rather disastrous in that this spring their

MAY TAKE VULCAN
 THROUGH COURTS L. w. John Declares He Owns
 the Iron Statue ANOTHER VOTE ORDERED People Who Subscribed to the Vulcan Fund Will Have Another oppor-
 tunity to Vote on the
 Location.
ANOTHER VOTE ORDERED

Col L. W. Johns threw the gauntlet down to the Commercial club yesterday afternoon He declared that he owned Vulcan, the Iron Man. by virtue of 8 purchase and that he would send the statue through all the courts before one piece of 1t should be moved from the side of Red mountain without his consent.
 The Colonel declared that if necessary he would enjoin the Commercial club from moving the statue and that he would appeal to law to claim his own.
 The declaration came as the result of the following resolution offered by W. D. Nesbitt and seconded by Culpepper Exum:
 Whereas, it has been found impossible to erect the statue, Vulcan. in the park selected as the site Of the subscribers to the Vulcan fund, and
 "Whereas. since this choice was made other suitable sites have been obtained, be it
 Resolved That the officers of the Commercial club be requested to arrange for the holding of another election that subscribers to the Vulcan fund may vote Inel1 cnOlCc Ol tllt olttS loN oN oAloptS for the erection of the statue
 Colonel Johns said,in speaking to the resolution. that he was opposed to an other elction and that the club did not have the right to order one. He was sup ported in this objection by Col. w, H. Graves who said that he thought the matter had been settled once and that the club did not have the right to hold another election.
 Colonel Johns spoke the second time, stating that he had purchased the statue and held an order signed by the presi- dent of the Commercial club conveying the statue to him. He said that the club had agreed that if 5000 necessary to pay the debts of the statue was not raised by December 20 that the Iron Man should be sold to him for 5000, and that the s5o00 had not been raised. The speaker added;
 T will enjoin you from moving the statue if you attempt 1t. I am opposed to a second election and the Commercial club has not the right to hold one. The statue is mine and you cannot move him unless he goes through the courts
 Mir Exum said that he favored another election and that he was one of the sub scribers to the fund. He said that he had opposed Capitol park in the first election, and that he would vote again, and prob ably be defeated again, but that he thought the club had perfect right to order another election.
 The question was called and the major ity favored holding another election. President Motion ruled that the club had the right to order second election if 1t had the right to hold the first one, and he said he had heard no opposition to the first election. The date of the elc- tion and the other arrangements will be announced later

whom they marry. This Is the result of the enlightenment we have brought The Chinese do believe in America and Ameri- cans do believe in China. Millions of dollars worth of godds have been bought and sold and men have never lost a dol lar by the Chinese people The Chinese are great and honest people. You need not fear that you will not have great bus- ness when you get your President to have them treated fairly
 When Dr. Allen had concluded his lee- ture the audience gave evidnce of it's appreciation by hearty applause.
 Dr. Wainwright
 Following Dr. Aliens address Dr. s. H. Wainwright of Kobe. Japan. made speech on "The New Japan as a World Power and It's Relations with the United States" In part he said:
 Although the cultured class in Japan is the military class. and the question of money was few years back looked upon with contempt now all that is changed, and Japan has come to be es- sentiallS>a commercial power.
 'The merchant formerly occupied the lowest stratum of society. The aristocracy looked with contempt upon trade. Even the touch of money was considered by them to be contaminatng But the spirit
 
 featuring manifestations has at last reached the hermit nation and 1t has | responded with alaerty to its call. The ] island Is too small to possess great re- sources. Three-fourths of it's area con- sists in mountains. so the hope of Japan lies in the manufacturing direction. Amer ican cotton does not find a ready market in Japan. The lower grades of the In- dian staple best fill the requirements of the trade. But American linters eventually will be In demand because it is of that which wadding of all sorts Is made and Japan is a wadded nation. from the quilts and bedding. to the very clothes which they wear Everything is wadded. For these reasons l look for an increased de- mand for the low grade American cot ton.
 The thing in which Germany exeels and in which America is striklngly backward is accommodation to the requirements of the Oriental markets. For instance. the measurements and the standards there are peculiar. These things Germany caters to but America makes no distine- ton between the goods shipped to the east and the goods which are made for home consumption The consequence is that Germany controls the bulk of the trade"
