CHINA READY TOPAY
OVERDUE INDEMNITY
Funds for Support of Chinese Students
in This Country Can Now
Be Remitted.

The Chinese government is prepared to
meet the overdue payments of the Boxer
indemnity, according to advices received
IN Washington. Out of the funds Of the
fve-power loan the Chinese government
VIII early next month make payment of
the amounts due from March, 1912. to
January l, 1913
This renewal Of the payments is of
especial interest to the United States
as it will make available once more
funds for the support of the 31s Chinese
students in the United States. whuar
education is to be paid for out of-tbe
portion of the Boxer indemnity nav
ments remitted by the United States to
China. The United States should re-
ceive $4,000 a month. and half OF this
always Is returned to the Chinese gov
erIlment. The Chinese apply this money
that is remitted to the expenses of the
Chinese students in American schools
and colleges.
The payments on the Boxer indemnity
were stopped soon after the outbreak
Of the revolution in 1911. For several
months the matter Of caring for the
Chinese students was a most difficult
problem, after the payments ceased.
Finally the American group of bankers
interested in the then six-power loan me-
gotiations carried the students up to the
time that they withdrew from the in
group. Limited funds for the

The fact that he was TO be relieved of

him.

never uses intoxicants. Il do not believe

Law In EFFECT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

find out to their entire satisfaction just
how dry Washington is to become.
All sorts Of questions about the new
law were proposed to the corporation
counsel yesterday. Among other things.
he was asked to define an Approximate
pint and also lone quart in the aggre-
gate"
Further lack OF common understanding
of the law was shown. when Albert E.
Shoemaker, attorney for the Anti-saloon
League. made II known that he expects
the police to close today all the saloons
within 400 feet of schools and churches
and within 1000 feet of the War College.
Marine Barracks, and Navy Yard. He
holds that these places close automati-
cally today, and stated that IL they do
not close he will see that warrants are
issued and the question put up to the
courts. Others believe that the law does
not intend that these places should be
closed before November /. 1914.
Provisions Are Quoted.
Those who do not agree with Mr..
Shoemaker in his Interpretation of this
provision OF the law call attention to
another provision of the measure to the
effect that mo licensee who shall con-
duct his business within the law shall
be deprived OF his license or required to
change his location before November /.
1914" Assistant Corporation Counsel
Stephens was not prepared to comment
on the application Of this provision yes
terday. He sta led that he believed the
intent of Congress Is that the closing of
saloons provided by the new law should
be made in such time as to work as little
hardship as possible upon their pro-
prietors.
Other questions were more easy. To
those who inquired whether they could
continue to permit pool and billiard
playing. or entertain their guests with
music or theatricals on barroom licenses,
was told an emphatic no"
Many saloonkeepers wanted to know
whether they could keep open until /
o'clock this morning. Mr.. Stephens told
them that this would be a clear violation
of the law, that the opening hour today
would be z o'clock in the morning
Opinion, also, was given that the new
law makes no provision for the transfer
of license to places where outings are
given. This question was raised in con-
nection with application for transfer Of
license to Benning race track.
In answer to inquiries upon the require
ments of the law in regards TO the sale
of liquor to women, IL was explained
that intoxicants only can be served to
them in clubs. hotels, and restaurants.
and that the mere fact that the keeper
of a public place may have a restaurant
license does not make him the keeper
Of a restaurant within the meaning OF
the new law. This will mean a change
In the business of places operating sum-
mer gardens. II is believed.
Anxious hotel men inquired whether
they would be allowed to sell drinks
to guests on Sunday. They were sent
away sorrowful. but with explicit infor-
nation. The answer was: There's not
a chance
