MARKED INTEREST
Position Of United States and Japan
in China Interesting

? Washington, Nov. 1s-Marked inter-
est was shown today among diplomats
particularly, over the proposed re-
statement of the position of the Unit
ed States and Japan regarding their
attitude towards China. They say the
Intentions of both countries in this
matter are we'll known, the United
States having declared that 1t intend
ed to respect the territorial integri-
ty of the country and pledged itself
to the "open door," and Japan having
given her assent to the latter idea and
only very recently having signed a
convention with Russia looking to
the maintenance of the status quo
in eastern Asia.
why should Japan desire such re-
statement regarding her position; at
the same time, her frankness in the
matter was commended. Much, It was
admitted, might be gained by such a
step, especially should developments
In China arising out of the new order
of things make 1t necessary for the
nations, for the sake of protecting
their interests, find. 1t necessary to
use the military or naval forces, in
the event that an uprising should Oc-
cur. The proposition has been look
ed upon by the United States as a
friendly and courteous suggestion on
the part of Japan and 1t is presumed
will be made effective by formal ex-
change of notes, no treaty being neces-
sary. This will insure the most COM
plete harmony of action In Chica in
the event that step should be neces-
sary. 1t also will convince the peo-
pie Of the United States, in the minds
Of the state department officials, Of
flcials of the sincerity Of Japan in
her dealings respecting the the Unit
ed States and China.
While there may be some local dis
turbances, officials of the state de-
partment do not at this time believe
that serious trouble will follow the
induction into Office of the new rulers
In China. Nothing in the present sit
uation, they say, resembles conditions
existing at the time of the Boxer re-
bellion. Still 1t is realized that the
situation may quickly change. The
old bitterness against the Manchu's
the ruling dynasty, which has repeat
" manifested itself in uprisings, still
exists among the Chinese and their
attitude will be subject Of concern
for some time to come. It is sincere
ly hoped in administration circles here
that the. new government Will be left
to work out It's own salvation and that
no necessity will arise for the inter-
ference by outside powers for the pros
lection Of their people and interests
in the country.

congratulations on the splendid work
being done by the Young Women's

The president then reviewed the
work being done by the Young Wom-

for Monday Morning

Judge Lawlor was continued yesterday
until Saturday morning at 10 o'clock
after the fling of several documents
including a supplementary affidavit by
District Attorney Langdon, setting
forth the fact that Ruef had been a
practicing attorney for many years and
had been known IS a lawyer of ability.
This affidavit was made in answer to
Ruefs claim that during all the pro-
ceedings in the trolley cases he meekly
followed the suggestions of the prose
cution-
Assistant District Attorney O'Gara
offered the aff1davit and petition of Abe
Ruef in his recent habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before the appellate court as
evidence. and the documents were
made part of the record over the OBJ
jections of Attorney Frank J. Murphy
A transcript of the proceedings in the
Schmitz extortion case was ruled out
by Judge Lawlor. O'Gara announced
that the evidenciary showing of the
prosecution was complete. with the ex-
ception of the affidayits of Judges
Dunno and Lawlor. and the court an
nounced that both of these would be
ready by Saturday morning.

two graft trials will actually begin
Monday morning. Tirev L. Ford will
be brought to trial before Judge Law
lor in one of the trolley cases. while
Ruef will be brought to trial in Judge
Dunne's department in the Parkside
matter. Prosecutor Heney will per-
sonally conduct the Ruef case and will
also make the opening and closing ad-
dresses to the jury in the Ford case.
while the presentation of the latter
probably will be undertaken by As
sistant District Attorney O'Gara, al
though it is possible that District At
