Officials Are Silent.

Although the members of the cabinet
and other government officials declined
today to give the slightest intimation of
their official views. it may be stated with
assurance that the Japanese government
is now comforting with Russia. and the
tenor of Japan's reply will depend largely
upon the position taken at st. Peters
burg.
1t is no secret that the japanese states
men regard the American proposition AS
one which would be extremely difficult to
work out in practice. The authorities
insist that the attitude of their govern
ment is clearly and sufficiently outlined
in the Portsmouth treaty. the provisions
of which they assert always have been
carried out ScrupulouS!y.

Concession Unlikely.

There is no intimation of when Japan's
reply to the note would be~forthcDminy.
but there is reason to believe that the
government will not concede the neces-
sity of a change in the existing condi-
tions. through which a claim of equal
opportunity is afforded. unless. at least.
the contemplated project would give the
strictest guarantee for the future safe
guarding of Japan's interests In Man
churia.
The Japanese experts do not regard the
construction of a railroad from Aigun, IN
northern Manchuria, to Chin-Chow-Fu as
a practical business proposition. In the
American memorandum Secretary Knox
refers to the concession for such line.
which was secured some time ago by a
syndicate of Americans and Englshmen,
and adds that the enterprise will be sup
ported automatically by the American
and British governments.
England Assents to Principle.
PEKING, January SIT is stated here
that Great Britain has agreed in princl-
pie to the American proposal for the neu-
tralization of the Manchurian railways.

GATHER AT LOS ANGELES
INRUSH OF CROWDS FOR AVA.
- TON MEET.
Trial Flights This Afternoon by Cur.
tiss and Others-Some Objection
Found to the Course.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, January S.-Al-
though scheduled not to open until Mon
day, the international aviation meet real
ly began today, with the first big thrush
of prospective spectators from all parts
of the country. who crowded the hotels,
aHd with preparations by score of avia-
tors and as many more balloonists and
pilots of dirigbles for trial flights before
evening to test the courses
Aviation camp at Dominguez Junction
promises to duplicate this afternoon the
thrilling scenes at Rheims. with four or
five heavier-than-air machines in flight
at the same time. These will be piloted
by Glenn H. Curtiss, Frank johnson of
San Francisco, Lincoln Beachey, c. f.
Willard and probably Roy knabenshue.
A. the same time Clifford Harmon will
ascend in his big spherical New York, .
with Mrs. Alvin French and Miss Alice
Campbell of Pasadena. on the first bal
loon voyage of the ten-day aerial car
nival.
May Change Course.
Aeroplane flights this afternoon nrob-
ably will result in the changing Of the
course at Dominguez Sefore Paulhan,
Miscarol and Maisson, French aviators,
wiz are uuc " arrive late tOudy, are
ready to try out their Farman cross
channel monoplanes which are now set
up.
CurtisS, who examined tine field before
he inspected the biplane in which he will
make mis- flights next week, criticised the
course He found elements of danger in
the present pentagonal shape and sug-
gested that it be changed TO heXagonal at
once. This, he said, would allow sharper
turns TO be MADE. with consequent ac-
ceieration of speed and better prospects
CT lowering time records. Curtiss also
found the topography of the field such
that the contestants in the all-speed
trials will have to fly much higher than
was the case at Rheims.
The fact that the field is much higher
at one end than at the other is RESPONSE
BILE for this. but the higher flight will
give additional thrills.
No Life Insurance for Fliers.
One of the side features developed by
the trial flights this afternoon will in
terest sportsmen who intend to try the
new diversion of aviation. johnson
bumped into it when insurance agents
informed him that his life policies for
large amounts would be invalidated If
he made the proposed flights. They also

fits.
But Johnson said that he owned and
drove the first automobile on the coast
and he proposed to be the first here TO

Acting Within Rights.

1t is said at the State Department that
the British commander is we'll within his
rights in inhibitinS lighting within the
city of Greytown. The United States has
furnished number of precedents for
such action. Not many years ago the
commander of an American warsnip in
the harbOr of Rio de Janeiro took eX-
actly the same position as is now taken
by the British commander, and for sub
stantially the same reasons. Another
instance is given in the case of a local
disturbance In Colon. when the command
er of an American WarShip in port issued
notice to all parties concerned that fight
ing within the town would not be toll
Grated.
In 1880 Great Britain, which for a con-
siderable period had exercised protscto-
rate over. the eastern or Mosquito
coast of Nicaragua, surrendered to the
Nlcaraguan government her rights uLder
such prOtectOrate. Since that time Ael
position with respect to that territory
has been on the same footing as thai OF
other nations.
Madriz Anxious to Please.
DISPATCHES from Managua indicate that
Madriz Is making every effort to Sc.
cure the favor OF the United States, and
has taken action in several cases that
must commend his administration to those
who have the best interests of Nicaragua
at heart.
In addition to dispatches received last
night to the effect that Madriz had pub.
licly denounced the execution of Cannon
and Groce as unlawful, Vice Consul Cal
dera, in a telegram received at the State
Department this morning, states that
Madriz has issued DEGREES abolishing al
monopoIies and ordering all confisoateo
properties returned to their rightful own
ers. He has also ordered ali private per-
sons to surrender any arms they may
have in their possession to the local au
thorities, this minimizing the danger OF
rioting and demonstrations against for
eigners.
The gunboat Marietta, according to Z
dispatch received at the Navy Depart,
ment, is on her way from Port Limon
Costa Rica. back to Bluefields.

DELAY IN CONFIRMATION
NEW COMMISSIONERS NOT FA
M1L1AR WITH ESTIMATES.
Macfarland and West to Hold Office
Until Congress Has Heard Their
Views on District Bill.

Confirmation of Cuno Rudolph and Gen.
John A. Johnston as District Commits
sioners by the Senate will be delayed un-
til the latter part of next week
This is to allow the present civil Com
missioners TO remain in office until after
the District appropriation bill has been
considered by the Senate subcommittee.
When that is taken up, the heads of the
District government are called upon to
explain the reasons for the various items
of their estimates of expenditure.
1t is recognized that two new Com
missioners would not be familiar with the
needs of the local government. As the
present members of the District board
prepared the estimates upon which the
next appropriation bill is to be based,
they should explain its cause before Con-
gress.
Called Before Committee.
The consideration of the District appro-
priation bill by the subcommittee of the
Senate committee on appropriations will
begin next Tuesday morning at 10 O'Clock
Commissioners Macfarland. West and
Judson have been notified that they will
be expected to appear before the sub
committee at that time and present their
views of what expenditures the bill should
authorize.
The hearings before the committee will
probably consume two or three days.
Their appearance before the Senate sub
committee. # is expected. VIII be about
the last public service of the present civil
Commissioners, Messrs. Mcfarland and
West.
After the hearings are over. it is be-
lieyed the nominations will be reported
from the District committee to the Sen
ate and promptly confirmed.
The first meeting of the District COM
mittee OF the Senate this session to take
up consideration OF the sixty and more
bills already introduced in the upper
House and referred to that committee will
probably be held next Friday.

ASK Cooperation
OF The MINISTER'S

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 10.-The mana
gers of the tuberculosis Exhibition
have sent the following address to
the Christian people Of jackson, cop
les being forwarded to each of the
white ministers, many of whom doubt
less read the same in the pulpits Sum
day morning:
1.-THE past and present attitude of
the Christian people of Jackson to-
wards the negro in their midst would
seem to warrant a special and direct
appeal in connection with the closing
days of the tuberculosis Exhibition.
Wednesday and Thursday, the 9th and
10th, the exhibition will be thrown
open to the colored race. Much eff
fort has been put forth for the pur-
pose of interesting them and awaken
ing their leaders. Already the colored
, people of Jackson have undertaken
active effort against the chief destroy
err of the race. The members of this
con gregation are invited to encourage
and to facilitate the extension of this
movement by helping to send their
servants and others within their range
of influence.
1.-THE very intimate relations which
necessarily exist between the two
races make the problem of tuberculosis
among the negroes of most serious i'm
port to every home, to every mother
and to everyone interested in the
physical health of their children OF
adults.
"The frightful and yet comfortable
mortality from tuberculosis among the
negroes in the city of Jackson carries
with 1t most serious implication as
to social and physical conditions, alb
solutely at variance with the essentia
spirit and ideals of this community
The exhibition asks that it may bt
used by you to the end that jackson
may be freed from the preventabl'
conditions, needless burdens and un
warranted dangers"

MODERN CITIES
ARE Being BUILT

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 10.-Birming-
ham. Jacksonville, Fla, and Jackson,
are the three places building modern
Cities" said MIR. William Koppel, SEN i
ior editor of the American Banker,
who is spending few days in this
city looking into financial conditions
in the state.
Mr.. Koppel has been South several
months, and spent some time in each
Of the larger cities in this part OF the
country. He was strongly impressed
with Birmingham, which he regards
as the "Pittsburg of the South" and
which city is improving along lines
that is pleasing to the average bust
ness man.
Next to Birmingham, Mr.. Hopper
likes the way Jacksonville is building
up, then comes Jackson. He spent
some time viewing the business houses
of the city, looking over the streets
n and declared Jackson was building
on better foundation than any other
city in the South, except Birmingham
and Jacksonville.
'Your municipal improvements, like
your private enterprises, are of the
right kind. You have the location
the railroad facilities, and the agri
cultural country to build a great city
and Jackson, like Birmingham, is
destined to have high place in the
world of finance, commerce and in
dustry in the near future. 1t is my
FIRST visit to Jackson, but have never
been more impressed with the pros
poets of city than that have seel
here.
"Your banks are in excellent hands
They have credit abroad, and jackson
is now in position to go out for manu-
factories, railroads or any other in
dustry she desires and get it. All /
needs Is for the business men to worl
together, eliminate politics from al
such work and go after these things
There is coming an era of develop
ment in Mississippi, of which jackson
should be the center, and when thi
comes the people of this city wan
to take advantage of the opportuni
ties.

Then the South should have it. The
South will gain in population and
thousands of dollars will be brought
into this section If the exposition is
held at New Orleans. 1t takes three
weeks to go from San Francisco to
Panama, and four days from New Or

not the only logical point, but the
geographical point.
"Few salaried men could afford to

TAFT IS OFF FOR
THE CANAL Zone
(By Union Associated Press.)


Charleston, s. c., Nov. 10.-Presi-
dent Taft boarded the battleship Ten
nessee today and at high tide the big
war vessel, accompanied by the cruis-
er Montana as a convoy, sailed out OF
the harbor with the canal zone as its
destination. President Taft is maxi
ing the trip to the isthmus to obtain
the necessary information on which
to make his recommendation to con-
gress for legislation regarding the
canal
One of the most important questions
to be decided by the president relate
to the form of government he will
recommend that congress adopt for
the canal zone. Col. Goethals, the
chief engineer, has recommended that
military government for the entire
zone be adopted, instead of the pres
ent system of government by execu-
tive order.
Congress will also have it's attention
called to the establishment of toll
rate for the canal. This is an import
ant question, as on it's solution de-
ponds largely whether many steam
ship companies will use the canal
or transfer cargoes by rail over the
Tehautepoc route, as several compa-
MES now do.
The president will also consider
the question of the fertilization of the
canal zone. 1t is practically certain
that he will repeat his recommends
ton for an appropriation of $4,000,
900 for this purpose.
| "An increased cost of living" has
become an issue on the canal zone
as elsewhere, and the workmen EN-
ployed in digging the ditch have ask
ed for an increase in wages. The
army officers say the demand is un
Just, and that the president will have
to decide between them.
What will be done with the Panam,
railroad after the canal is completed
is another subject the President will
consider. There is some question Al
to whether the road should be operat
ed independently or as an adjacent o
the canal. Whether coaling station
at the canal terminals are to be let t
private interests or operated by tn
United States government is also t
be decided.
1t Is understood that Col. Goethal
has urged upon the President the dc
STABILITY of settling all these ques
tions as speedily as possible, in orde
that they may be intelligently discuss
ed at the international congress G
shipping interests, to be held mex
year in Berlin. Should profound OF
position then arise to some of the PR
posals, Congress would have time t
make the necessary changes before tn
opening of the canal on Jan. IL, 1911
