into an aEreemcn: whereby the former
grants TO Japan enlarged colonization
rights i'm Mexico and extensive privileges
on the Pacific seacoast.
This has all the appearance of the re-
newal OF the Magdalena Bay matter to
which this government. under the Taft
administration two years ago. put a sud-
den stop through an energetic foreign
policy and the reiteration of the Mon
roe doctrine backed up by a solemn rcso-
luton of the United States Senate.
II the Japanese government or a
corporation acting with the conniv-
ance and consent of Japan, revives this
project, Senators and Representatives
believe this administration will be
brought face TO face with a question
larger and more vital in Importance
to the safety and welfare Of the United
States than that involved in the mere
settlement of the disturbances in Mex
leo.
This report" said a member of the
Foreign Relations Committee yester-
day, should be investigated imme-
diately. 1t involves a question that
cannot be ignored. Every one knows
that il colonization rights have been
given to Japan. the future peace and
safety OF the country is put in jeopardy.

More Troops to border.
On representations by Senator Morris
of Texas. that the people on
the Mexican border are apprehensive.
two regiments of infantry at once will
be added to the United States forces
now patrolling the international boun-

Of War Garrison yesterday afternoon.
The regiments selected for this duty are
the Seventeenth Infantry. at Fort Nc

Senator Sheppard has been defending
vigorously the Presidents Mexican policy
in answer to the blasts from Gov. Col
quit also is regarded as a pertinent fac
tor in the situation. The Senator has re-
peatedly assured the President that Gov.
Colquitt in his rather spectacular efforts
to protect Texas, has not the support of
the majority or the people of the State.
The sending OF the additional regiments
is. therefore, regarded as indication of
the attitude of the administration toward

COMMISSIONERS
EXTEND PAYMENT
THIRTY DAYS MORE GRANTED
CITIZENS IN WHICH TO PAY
HALF OF THEIR TAXES.

Yesterday afternoon the board OF
county commissioners met in the last
session Of the old year and issued
an order extending the time for pay.
ment of one-half taxes thirty days
or to February /, without the pen
atty. This was done from the fact
that the recent heavy rains have
made the roads practically impassi-
bic for the past six weeks and many
farmers have not been to the city
in that time nor can they do so, un-
til the roads dry out to a cinsder
able extent. Commissioner Young
stated this morning that the board
had issued, this order after thor
oughly convincing themselves that
in a CRATE many instances it would
be physically impossible for some
farmers of the county to get to the
court house in order to pay their
taxes in time to escape the penalty
on account of the roads although
they were ready to pay and get a
receipt and for the benefit of this
class it was decided to extend the
time thirty days longer.

will announce a new policy to gov
ern in the administration of minor
India estates.
Though many OF the men who have

he will hold a conference with the
officials engaged in the suppression
cf the liquor traffic among the In
dians, Commissioner Sells, in out
lining the details of his fight to re-
cover property that has been despoil-
ed, gave comprehensive survey of
the action to be taken by him on
his western tour. Every effort win
be made at the conference at Denver
and Muskogee to recover the mil
loins that have been appropriated.
Wherever necessary criminal action
will be taken and new preventative
legislation is to be asked, In dis
cussing his action Commissioner
Sells said:

estates have been reduced to moth

Paris Modesty Progresses Upward in
Feminine Styles

Paris, Jan. IA. The fashion
experts of this capital of models
have decreed that modesty shall
now move upwards IN the matter
of feminine style. Instead of be-
ing discreetly draped, the ankles
will now be freely displayed and
the dresses wilIbe cut so as TO
show plenty of daintily worked
hose.
While modesty is slackened at
the feet. however, it is frightened
at the head. The lower half of
the face will b. completely OBJ
scured with an Opaque veil, leav-
ing only TIE eyes visible.
The spectacle at the Ritz aud
other fashionable tea saloons in
Pans every afternoon shows that
this decree is being freely obeyed
by the American aud French wo-
men.
One odd development of this
upward" movement of modesty
is wearing pockets i'm stockings
where they can now be reached
without trouble.
Among the beautiful women
here who have led the fashion In
this latest fad is Mile. Brolaz,
the Boston opera soprano, who
when she was about to pay for a
book she had brought at Bren-
tano's the other day, asked the
young assistant to turn his head
away. He did, and the cash inn
mediately was forthcoming.
