TRADE IN MANCHUR|A
Complaint Against the Attitude
OF Japan.
TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR
Alleged Obstruction to Establishment
of Custom Houses.
CONSULAR OFFICERS DELAYED
American Representative at Niu-
chwang the Only One Now
at His Post.
OFFICERS DELAYED

American merchants and manufacturers
are complaining to the State Department
of obstructions which they say Japan Is
offering to the establishment of Chinese
customs houses in ports which control
the Manchurian trade. 1t is charged that.
under the guise of military exigencie;
Japanese officials are preventing the en-
trance of American goods into Manchuria,
while japanese merchants are afforded
opportunity to get their wares into the
country duty free.
If the open-door policy, upon which the
United States places such Importance, and
to which Japan is unequivocally commit.
ted, is to be preserved, 1t is urged that
necessity exists for the immediate estab-
1ishment of regular Chinese customs
houses at Antung, at the mouth of tho
Yalu, and at Dalny. in the leased terri
tory controlled by Japan
Recent press dispatches indicate that
the Chinese commissioner of customs Is
taking steps to open the customs houses
promised at the mouth of the Yalu, but
it is not known by the State Department
what, If any, steps have been taken to
open Dalny to the trade of all nations.
At Niuchwang. where a customs house
has been opened by the Chinese, the jap
anese have maintained their control OF
affairs to a degree said to be obnoxious
to general commercial interests.
Japan's unwtllingness to permit China
to resume complete civil administration
in Manchurfa is being constantly mani
tested in incidents brought to the atten-
tion of American officials intrusted with
the protection of the commercial interests
of the United States in the far east. Al
though Japan insists that she is in no
way responsible for conditions in Man
churia, China's fear of Japan since the
war with Russia has become more appar-
ent than ever, and the Chinese govern
ment is charged by certain commercial
interests with being mere clay In the
hands of Japanese officials, who have
availed themselves Of every opportunity
churia
It Is declared that In spite of the fact
that Antung has been said to be IN such
disturbed condition that the establish
ment OF a Chinese customs house was not
possible, 5000 Japanese have been able to
settle there, and japanese goods have
poured through that port duty free at a
rate which has alarmed European and
American merchants who are attempting to
get foothold.
Inquiries at the State Department ELECTED
the information that there have been many
delays in getting American consular repre-
senta tives into Manchuria. Thomas Sam
mons the consul at Niuchwang, is the only
agent of the United States known to be at
his post at this time Fred. D. Fisher who
was formerly in Formosa, is now on his
way to represent the United States at
Harbin, and will have P. s. Heintzelman
as his vice consul. Millard Straight, who
has been appointed to Mukden, is now on
his way to that post, and j. q. Jones is In
Japan awaiting an opportunity TO take up
his duties as consul at Dalny.

LOANED PUBLIC FUNDS.
The Novel Defense Of County Treas
urer at Akron.

AKRON. Ohio, August 3.-Examiners
Poulson and Raley filed their report of the
examination of the Summit county treasury
with Probate Judge Pardee today 1t shows
that there is deficit In the treasury Of
1912. .454.
The examiners say this deficit was $780,
154 at the time the examination was begun,
but that since then a large amount of bor-
rowed money has been returned
The report says that large part of the
loans are unsecured and that considerable
part of the securities representing loans of
the public funds are renewals of obligations
taken by former treasurers and carried by
the present treasurer, Fred e. Smith
Treasurer Smith declares that the vault
in the courthouse is unsafe to keep public
funds in and that the cost of his bonds,
$4,000 in all. is so high and his salary
so low that he had to loan money to keep
ahead.

 The show is held in the great Madi- son Square Garden.
 Whenever any kind of show is on at Madison Square Garden, though 1t were prize fight, the huge inclosure is profusely draped with the bunting of the American flag. You see the abundant bunting plainly, though you see few horses.
 Very good. What of it? The pie ture actually indicates a great truth. In the annual so called National New York Horse Show the horses are the least thing to be thought of. They are only the peg to hang society's clothes upon. The real show is society's clothes. As to the horses themselves. they are dismissed by the ladies with

sades. On the whole. to me the best part of these city folks horse shows Is the mounted policemen riding grandly around the ring. Policemen are said to be the best fed looking men in New York city.
 Undoubtedly the greatest diamond show on earth is to be witnessed of evenings at the horse show. It has be- come tradition that society women must wear all the diamonds they can carry on the first or second horse show night The glorious gems glitter in the coiffure, at the throat, blazing in the corsage, in necklaces and brace lets-everywhere diamond ornament can be fastened to be seen-brooches. crescents, stars and bars and diamond hearts that somebody has suggested are probably bigger than the hearts of some of those who wear them.
 Year after year the young chappies- white gloved, black dress suited. gar- denia in buttonhole-sit in the boxes back of the gorgeously clad women, or stand, storklike. with a crush hat held against the left hip. It is surprising how many of the gilded young chap pies who attend the horse show become

On the great first night of the "Nationar' horse show considerable proportion of the audi ence outside of society's boxes is made up of milliners, dressmakers and la dies tailors. just the commonest kind of people. who come solely to gaze upon and steal--yes actually steal society's exclusive Paris styles and initiate them in common trash's clothes. Too bad. isn't 1t?
 A favorite dodge of the newly rich striving to get into New York's fash ionable set Is to buy a few high priced. famous horses and exhibit them first in the suburban horse shows that precede the great one-trying 1t on a dog as 1t were-then make bold bid for notice at the big show. getting ones name and ones horses names in the papers along with the vanderbilts and the Harrimans and the Burdens and others.
