JAPANESE TAKE
SHANTUNG ROAD
emma Protested and Demanded the
Withdrawal of the japanese
Troops. but Will Not Eight.

Peking, China, Oct S.-The gov
ernment has been informed that a
party of thirty Japanese on Wednes
day occupied the stations of the
Shantung Railway at Tainan. the
western terminus of the German
owned road. The foreign office
again Immediately protested to the
Japanese legation, demanding the
withdrawal of the japanese troops.

at the solicitation Of the govern
ment, which feared that otherwise
the situation with Japan would be
further complicated. the Germans
have not fulfilled their threat to
dynamite the bridges. They had
announced that this would be done
unless China compelled the japan
ese to withdraw from the railway.
Meantime the Japanese are prepsr-
ing to reopen traffic on the road.
The feeling here against the Jap
anese is becoming intense. The pa
pers publish accounts of this alleg.
ed misbehavior with characteristic
eXaggerations.
An American missionary at Wei
hsien telegraphs that 200 Japanese
had arrived there by the third dav
OF occupation, and that on the
fourth day all but thirty OF the SOL
dlers proceeded westward without
having molested the inhabitants.
From other missionaries and cor
respondents come reports of such
cases of wrongdoing as might be ex-
pected from a few in an army of
10000 strong. The trouble usually
results from the Japanese system of
drawing upon the natives for com
missary requirements.
Chinese communities are com

usual demands in the way of sun

INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Germ Found BY DIR. Simon FleNner
OF Rockefeller Institute.

Baltimore, oct. S.-Dr. Simon
FleXner, head of Rockefeller Insti-
tute for Medical Research, speaking
at the Johns Hopkins Hospital an
niversary cerebretion here today,
voiced the belief that he had culti-
waited the hitherto invisible germ
which causes infantile paralysis and
had reproduced the disease in ami
mails by injection of culture of this
germ.
The doctor believed the disease
was transmitted through the re-
spiratory channels rather than by
insects, as some have held. and he
advanced the theory that healthy
persons often carried the germ in
their bodies and through them chill
dren were infected; that there are
carriers" of infantile paralysis. lust
as there are carriers" of typhoid
and diphtheria, who, while trans
hitting these diseases TO others. do
not suffer from them themselves.

DICKS DECISION.
Way Now Clear For Hoyt to be
Next Speaker of House.

Columbia Special to Charleston
News and Courier, oct. u. r.
Lilies, member of the house from
orangeburg, and member-elect of
the next house, today gave out the
following:
The decision OF DR.. George w.
Dick not to be candidate for
speaker OF the house at the 1915 ses-
sion relieves from embarrassment
the many mutual friends OF Dr.
Dick and Mr.. James A. Hoyt, the
other aspirant for the speakership
Both these candidates had strong
support, and the race would have
been an interesting one, but DR..
Dicks withdrawal practically as
sures the election or Mr. Hoyt."
The prospect is that the new
house will be organized in harmony.
and that the members will be in DO
sition to devote themselves without
delay to constructive legislation.
The outlook for beneficial legisla-
tion is probably brighter than it has
been for a number OF years.

FALL OF ANTWERP IS

Big Guns of Germans Now in

Associated Press dispatches yes

army's fate is a striking feature of

entire fighting force has been con-
certrated in or about the latter CITY.
And now the fall of Antwerp before
the German guns that reduced the
forts of Liege and Namur is grave
ly threatened.
Advices from neutral sources con-
firm heretofore disputed German
claims that they have broken
through the outer circle of fortifca-
tions, crossed the river Nethe and
brought their big guns within range
of the city proper. The Belgian

country to effect a juncture with the
allies; or retreating into Holland,
there to be interned.
For days Antwerp has been hold
ing out in the hope that the left
wing OF the allies would swing
around in time to save the city.
Recent reports from the battle line
have made 1T plain that succor from
this source was extremely doubtful.
1t is believed that the lombard
ment of Antwerp began today after
a demand for the surrender of the
city had been refused.
Little change on the battle line e.,
the north of France is indicated in
the afternoon statement OF the
french war office. 1t says that on
the French left wing the Germans
have made no progress. while at
certain points they have moved
back. On the right wing there is no
change, 1t is said. The situation in
the center remains much the same.
Violent attacks in the Woevre dis

but no details of the fighting are
given.

NO CROP NEXT YEAR
IS PLAN NOW URGED
Advocates of Elimination Make
Converts.
RAISE QUESTION OF LAW.
Many Arguments Against Planting
Cotton Next Season Are
Made.

According to The State this morn
ing pressure is being brought to
bear upon the special committee
from the house appointed to consid-
er bills relating to the curtailment
of cotton production to report
measure providing for the elimina-
tion of the staple entirely in 1915.
1t is impossible to Judge any degree
of accuracy at this stage of the ses-
sion what headway the total elimi-
nation idea is making among the
members of the house at large, but
there are indications that converts
are being rapidly made to the plan
OF producing no cotton next year.
The select committee from the
house held two meetings. yesterday
one in the afternoon and the other
last night. The committee will hold
its third session at o'clock this
morning in the room of the supreme
court.
At the afternoon session of the
select committee, four advocates OF
the entire elimination of cotton as a
crop in 1915 made arguments before
the committee. They were: j. G..
Anderson of Rock Hi. Wade Stack
house of Dillon, ]. j. NJ. Graham of
Williamsburg and ]. A. Rhame of
Lee. Last night w. F. Stevenson
of Cheraw and other members of
the house who have introduced bills
intended to reduce the production of
cotton in 1915 were heard by the
committee.
The revolutionary idea OF elimi-
mating cotton as a crop in 1915 is
being opposed on the ground that
the general assembly has a right to
regulate the amount of the crop pro-
duced, but that the police power of
the state does not give scope for the
destruction Of the crop in its en-
urety. The question OF the uncon-
stitutionality of a law prohibiting
the growing OF cotton would have to
be threshed out in the courts
The problem which the select
committee from the house is trying
to solve is recognized on all sides as
of tremendous Importance to the
state and the South at large, invol-
wing as it does between $4,000. 600
and S5O,OOO,OO0 to South Carolina
cotton growers alone. The commit
tee has avowed it's intention of max
its report to the house as early as
il can consistently do so, in view OF
Its desire to have the fullest and
| freest discussion of the whole ques-
ton of the curtailment of cotton
production.
The members OF the select COM
mittee from the house now engaged
in holding a series of hearings on
the question of curtailment are:
Mr.. Lee, Darlington, chairman
Mr.. Belser, Sumter; Mr.. Pegues
Marlboro; Mr.. Atkinson. Chester:
Mr.. Blackwell, Laurens; Mr.. Bethea,
