CH|NA'S PLAGUE IS
MENACE TO JAPAN,
BREAK THREATENS
All Business at Standstill in
Manchuria and Merchants
Complain.

TOKYO, April -12.-Because of the
plague in Manchurfa, complications
threatening seriously to disturb the re-
lations between Japan and China de-
veloped here today. Dissatisfied with
Chinese conduct Of the campaign
against the disease, the Tokyo govern
ment is preparing to coerce the Picking
government into compliance with its
wishes.
According to statements made by
President Nakamura, Of the Southern
Manchuria Railway Company, a jap
anese line, commercial disaster is i'm
pending in the stricken region. He
declared to the foreign office that busi-
ness has come to a standstill, and no
freight is being moved. japanese mer-
chants in Manchuria have shut UP their
shops, and will be forced to leave the
country If present conditions continue
This state Of affairs is ascribed by
japanese railway interests to the
scarcity Of labor, brought about by the
edict of the Chinese government, pre-
venting the migration of coolies from
Shantung and Chihli provinces. The
railroad is entirely dependent upon
coolie labor, not only for moving trains,
but for its coal.
Usual spring agricultural work has
not yet been started. though the season
is well advanced. Famine, II is feared.
will result, with the ultimate conse-
quence Of utterly depopulating the
country. In the cities, stagnation also
prevails. In Chefoo, factories are
closed. and $4,000 men are out of work.
Responsibility for this critical condi-
ton, which has already caused enor-
nous losses to Japanese interests in
Manchura. is placed upon the alleged
lax and inadequate relief and sanitary
measures of the Chinese.
Officials are charged with carelessness
and ineff1ciency. European physicians,
employed In the fight against the
plague, are restgning. because of the
failure TO enforce the sanitary regula-
tions recommended.
The total deaths from the pneumonia
Physicians predict its ravages will con-
tinue for months, and perhaps years,

said to have told the foreign office. will

churia.
AS China has already showed resent
ment against Japan's interference in her
affairs, II is not expected here
that representations from Tokyo in re-
gard to the plague will be kindly re-
ceiyed. 1t is certain, however, that the
Japanese government will not be de-
TERED from its purpose of restoring the
business life of Manchuria.

KIDNAPPING NEPHEW
Territorial Mounted Police
Arrange to Get Rogers
Out of Town.

LAS VEGAS. n. M. April I2.-Fear'
ing that violence will be offered to VIII
Rogers, brother of A. T. Rogers, of this
city, who confessed he participated in
the plot to kidnap his nephew, Waldo
Rogers, for $4,000 ransom, Captain
Fornoff, of the Territorial mounted po-
lice. arranged to spirit the prisoner to
Santa Fe before nightfaI.
With him will go George Virgins, a
former convict, who did the actual kid

Gated the boys uncle.
Threats are freely made on the streets
here today that the prisoners will be
taken out of Jail and summarily dealt
with.
The abducted boys uncle is in a state
of nervous collapse today, following his
statement to the police at midnight, in
" hich he confessed all the details of
the plot and told them where the $4,000
ransom, which the boys mother paid
for his release, could be found.
Find Ransom Money.
The officers went to the home of A.
T. Rogers and there found the package
os bills intact
The arrest of Rogers followed immedi-
stely the capture of Virgins, after he
had been closely shadowed for several
days. Virgins, when "sweated" had
made a statement, in which he impu-
Gated Rogers.
He declared he was at Madrid, N. NJ,
when he received a letter from Rogers
unfolding the kidnapping scheme and
asking him to come here. Virgins did

was carried out, the conspirators so
arranging it that VIII Rogers himself
would be the one chosen by little Wal
DOS mother to deliver the $1,000 ram
som required
The boy was KIDNAPPED on the night of
April !, and the following night at mid
night, VIII Rogers was sent to the
mountain fastness indicated by the
kidnapers as the spot where the ransom
must be paid.
Third Man Shadowed.
He returned several hours later with
the abducted boy and told the police
and the boys mother that four masked
men had held him up at the kidnapers'
rendezvous, taken the ransom, and then
had sent him to a spot near Kearney's
Gap, where he mad found the lad fast
asleep.
Immediately the kidnapped boys father
hurried back here from Ration, n. NJ,
where he had gone on business with III.

They offered a reward of $4,000 for
the capture of the kidnapers, and Cap
tain Fornoff, OF the mounted police, at
once took up the search.

under close surveillance and will be
arrested before night. II -

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion Of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired ju-
dicial turn Of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunfower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value Of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature In our
bill of fare.
The crisp food with the delicious.
nutty flavor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my family's
everyday life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table. for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts. and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps US all In perfect
physical condition-as a preventive Of
disease 1t is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benefi-
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who arc troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to Its nutritive qualities. my ex-
perience IL that one small dish OF
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat

power Of resisting fatigue. while its
use involves none Of the disagreeable
consequences that sometimes follow
