Ing Concessions Witch May Be
Regarded as u Violation.

Washington. Sept. 29.-The Gov
ernment is preparing to take the
most important action looking to
the security of the open door in
China. The action will take the
form of protest based on the An
tung-Mukden Railroad controversy
between Japan and China, which re-
Gently excited the diplomatic world.
Japan has obtained control OF ex-
tensive mining concessions in South
Manchuria, not for a limited, but for
an indetermediate period. This is
to be regarded as distinct menace
to the open door, according to the
exposition of that policy as given
by the late Secretary Hay.
The State Department, 1t is un-
derstood, has awaited full details of
the agreement between Japan and
China relative to the Antung-Muk-
den Railroad and with allied affairs
Of negotiation before taking any
stand in the matter. During the last
few weeks, our representative in the
Far East have obtained piecemeal
information as to this agreement,
and exposition of the whole thing
is expected within a few days. In
formation at hand has warranted
preliminary arrangements for pro-

The arrival here today of Frank
Hitchcock ard the presence of J. C.
Shaffer, owner of the Chicago Even
ing Post, on whose Judgment Taft
said he would place weight in re-
garding aspirants from the vicinity
of Chicago, made it apparent that
cabinet activities have begun. A re-
port was circulated that J. p. Dickin-
son of Nashville is being considered
for the portfolio, and when question
ed regarding the cabinet, Taft said
he would adhere to the previously
announced plan of remaining silent
on the subject and also keeping the
appointments open until the last mo-

contingencies. On the trip from Pan
anna the president-elect made the
first draft in his inaugural address.
This he intends to submit to certain
friends in Washington next week.

engineers, he stated, would be a COM

FOR GAS CUT OUTS
Councilman Fraser Introduces
Ordinance for This Purpose.
Gas Company Must Insert Valves
in Front of Every Building.
A CIGARETTE TUSSLE.
Aldermen Fight Over Merits of
State Law.
General Hughes Makes Notable
Defense of ''COffin Nails"

After a series of hints and side
thrusts at the gas company for not
inserting gas cut outs in front of each
building, L. E. Fraser, councilman
from the Fourth ward. came out with
an ordinance last night that if
passed by the city council will solve
the whole matter of gas protection
and bring true the dreams of the fire
marshal who has complained to the
city continually for the last two or
three months that it was absolutely
necessary for such an ordinance to be
passed in order to compel the gas
company to make these cut offs and
protect the inflow of gas into burn
ing building.
The ordinance last night covers all of
the ground leased by different coun-
cilmen who have tried to introduce
resolutions to that effect but who
make a good substantial ordinance out
of it. The ordinance introduced by
Mr.. Fraser last night was a good sub
stantial ordinance and will relieve "a
great many dangers in this city if
passed and enforced.
The first section provides that any
person, firm or corporation who shall
operate a gas plant or govern the sup
ply of gas in. this city must furnish
and eQuipp all service pipes with cut
outs or valves to shut off gas. when
necessary, from all public buildings.
hotels. lodging houses, COLLEGES.
schools, associations, lodges. houses
adjacent to lumber yards. livery
stables and in all dwelling houses
three stories in height The valves
shall be of an approved pattern and
shall be situated at or near the curb
line.
The idea of this is to furnish a cut
off at the outside of a building so that
in case of fire the firemen will be able
to shut off the gas supply into the
building thereby saving the building
in many cases. The Parkhurst-Davis
fire and the Copeland fire were un-
controllable on account of the gas
running into the buildings. There
have been several fires in the last few
months caused by gas and maintained
by gas. This fact has aroused the
people OF the city and the fire depart
ment to demand a remedy for the
negligence.
The ordinance introduced by Mr..
Fraser last night also requires that
the fire department be furnished with
q huge map which will show the loca-
tion of every cut off in the city. Every
time q pipe is tapped and a cut off in
serted the record of the same must be
filed with the fire marshal and it shall
be placed on the big map. When a
cut out is changed or Improvement of
any kind made it shall be recorded
with the fire marshal-or the person,
firm or corporation will be punished
for a misdemeanor.
