II maintain that the firm drawing the

lowed to bid on the work. Architects VINO

for heating or ventilating should net con-

SAVE lNAn FROM MOB.
New York Police and Firemen Fight
Desperately.

New York, April 29.-East New
York ftremen and policemen fought
desperately to save from a mob of
hundreds Of excited men a man who
had been caught coming out of burn
ing tenement house on Chester street
loaded down with household goods,
jewelry and money which the mob
leaders told the police belonged to the
tenants. After having been badly
beaten by the street crowds he was
taken to the police station and locked
up on charge of burglary. But for
the timely action of the firemen, who
had been called to the scene and
swung a powerful stream of water on
the mob the man doubtless would
have been taken from the policemen,
several of whom were knocked down
while struggling to save their pris-
oner.
The man, who said he was Joseph
Schmilowitz, a butcher, but out of
work for several months, was almost
insensible when lifted into the patrol
wagon.
1t is the belief of the police and
fire officials that at least two fires
were started by thieves for purpos es
of robberies.

BR|TOAS ARE WORRIED
Fear Japs Are Abusing Object Of

PRESENT POLICY CRITICISED
Mikado's Government Accused of Not
Living Up to the Provisions of the
Treaty Guaranteeing the Integrity
of China.

Peking, April 29.-The British gov
ernment, through it's diplomatic and
consular representatives in China, is
making a quiet investigation of the
causes of the increasing antagonism
of the Chinese on the mainland to the
Japanese. The British press in China
has recently published a series of
careful arguments to show the seri
BUSINESS of what it terms Japan's
abuse of the object of the Anglo
Japanese alliance, namely, the main.
tenance of the integrity of China, and
the Japanese policy on the mainland
is condemned by the foremost British
residents in the Far East, including
the highest officials, but excepting
perhaps certain Englishmen who live
in Japan. 1t is held here that Japan
has violated the equal opportunity
clause of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
and it is declared that Great Britain
is not satisfied with Japans fulfill
ment of article l of this agreement;
furthermore, 1t is said that the Brit
ish government considers that Japan
has violated article of the treaty OF
Portsmouth, which provides that ia
pan and Russia shall not
obstruct Any General Measures
common to all countries which China
may take for the development of the
commerce or industry of Manchuria.
Great Britain recognizes the fact that
Russia and Japan are basing their pol
icies In the Far East on secret proto-
coils and agreements made with China
but she relies on an equitable inter
probation of these secret understand
ings and 1t is hoped that the course
followed by the American government
will aid in securing action in accord
ance with the terms of the known
treaties.
The rapidity with which Japan Is
carrying on her peaceful penetration
of Manchuria has made Great Britain
anxious concerning all incidents that
furnish precedent to Japan, such as
the question of the control of the mu-
nicipality of Harbin. 1t Is believed
here that China, as a result of friend
ly suggestions, will appeal to The
Hague to deprive of legal force the
interpretations of the secret proto-
coils and agreements that Russia and
Japan are imposing on her.
