JAPAN WANTS
A new TREATY
BARON MAKINO'S ADDRESS IN
TOXIC CABLED TO THIS
COUNTRY.
Has Bearing on Alien Land Legis-
lation-Suggests New Treaty
Covering All Points.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2i.-An ad-
dress by Baron Nobuski Maxim, the
japanese foreign minister TO the par
lament OF Japan to-day. outlining the
status OF negotiations over the Call
fornia alien land legislation and de-
claring that the Japanese govern
ment had Come TO see the necessity
OF considering some other ways OF so
lution OF the question" because the
replies OF the United States had not
been found satisfactory. was cabled in
fun from Toxic to the Japanese en-
bassy here.
The address. which was not CON-
mented upon In Official circles an
nounced that the third note OF protest
presented to Secretary Bryan by Am
bassador Chinda on August is re-
mained unanswered.
II also revealed the fact that the
ambassador. under instructions from
Toxic. saw President Wilson on
March 5. the day after the presidents
Inauguration and asked that he make
an effort to stop the threatened leg
islation in California which has since
been enacted.
Wants New Treaty.
The address concluded as follows:
While the protests of the imperial
government and the replies OF the
United States government relative to
the land act OF California are as have
been outlined. the details OF which
the imperial government regret to
be unable to publish. the replies of
the United States were not found sat
isfactory and the imperial govern
ment has come to see the necessity
of considering some other ways for
solution OF the question. However,
TO the regret OF the government, the
time has not arrived for reporting on
the point"
II is understood that the last jap
anese proposition contemplates the
making of a new treaty, which might
permanently settle the issues be-
tween the two countries by precisely
defining the rights of Japanese in
America and OF Americans in Japan.
Such treaty OF course, would
have TO meet with the approval of
the United States Senate. No sug-
gestion concerning a new conven-
tion has come from either side and
officials here will not venture a pre-
diction as 10 which ~ che govern-
ments will take the first step toward
continuing. or reopening the nego-
tistions.

May End A
Remarkable Case

HARRISBURG. Pa. Jan. 21-From
the drift OF the proceedings before the
state board OF pardons here today IL
Is believed that Mrs. Kate Edwards,
who has been in the Berks county Jail
Tor more than twelve years under
sentence Of death for the murder OF
her husband. vii be set free. BE-
cause OF her sex no governor since
1901 has cared TO fix a date fo- her
execution and sign papers for the
carrying out OF the death sentence.
Her case is one OF the most remark
able in the history Of Pennsylvania
courts.
Mrs Edwards was arrested in July
1901. for the murder of her husband
near Stoutsburg He was found
dead with his head badly battered.
n few DAYS later q negro who worked
IN a quarry with Edwards and who
had been frequent visitor at tho
Edwards home. was also arrested as
an accOmplice. Ten days after her
imprisonment Mrs. Edwards became
the mother Of a colored child. The
white woman and the negro were
convicted and sentenced 20 hang.
The cases were taken TO the highest
courts without avail and then TO the
board OF pardons. In 1908 Mrs. Ed
wards confessed 20 the murder and
exonerated the negro. a special

Fifty years age. today the
worlds first railway mail car
was given its onicial test. The
mice were responsible for the
idea. Before that day the mail
was distributed according. to adj
dresses at certain designated
postof1ces, which usually were
the distributing points OF whole
states. It was slow and labor
Gus work At one OF these dis
tributing points. Green Bay,
Mich, a pair Of mice made their
home IN pouch that had lain
In the postoffice for several days.
When the pouch finally reached
its destination. near the upper
shores Of Lake Superior, the
receiving postmaster found not
only the rodent home-seekers,
but also a large family Of little
mice. They had made beds Of
chewed up letters. The post
master reported the matter to
the Chicago postoffice and sent
along the mice as an exhibit
which was received by George
B. Armstrong. the assistant
postmaster. To prevent a repe-
tition Of such an occurrence,
Armstrong sought to speed up
the mail service, and finally
evolved the idea Of having the
mail distributed on the trains
while in transit. The plan was
ridiculed. One. man declared:
THE government will have to
employ regiment Of men to
follow the trains to pick up the
letters that would be blown out
of the cars" However, the first
postal car, and ordinary bag
gage car equipped with racks
and pigeon holes, made its in
itial run from Chicago to Clin-
ton, Ia, fifty years ago today.

The Huntington Herald Dispatch
expresses the fear that the next leg
islature will be overrun with charter
measures. What il 1t is? 1t is part
OF the legislatures business to con-
slider charters. What this state needs,
however, is an amendment to the con-
stitution giving each city the right to
make It's charter to suit itself without
bothering with the legislature. So
long as it is in conformity with the
state constitution and state tax and
police regulations. city charter is
OF no concern to the people who do
not live under 1t.

It sAin,t.

I Since the Clarksburg Telegram,
Parkersburg State Journal and the
Charleston Mail have quit talking
about the tropic Of cancer, we would
like to know what conclusion they
reached. -Martinsburg World.
The Telegram has concluded that
there is no such thing. AS is we'll
known by everybody, the Parkersburg
State Journal is the only living ap-
thority in the state on superstition,
zodiacal signs, palmistry, legerdemain,
the science of ignorance, clairvoyancY,
.climatologi cal demonstration, tradi-l
ton, futurism and cubism-especial
icubism--and the Parkersburg State
Journal does not know what 1t; Is.
Hence, the only logical deduction Is
that it is not, or nearly SO, anyway.
True, the Parkersburg State Jour-
nal, in an unguarded moment made
wild, hit or miss guess at the thing and
declared that the Charleston Mail was
sitting in a corner holding 1t in its
lap, but the guess missed fire alto
gether as the Charleston Mail has been
so busy recording new subscriptions
and running to the banks every little
"AAp l0 Ihe purpose VI OSpOSlLluS
money since it came under its new
management that such thing would
have been an absolute physical i'm,
possibility.
A suspicion is harbored by the Tele-
gram, however, that the Parkersburg
oracle really does know something
about the tropic Of cancer but does
not want to tell 1t until it is coaxed
for awhile, like the spoiled child it is.
Wherefore, as this is tremendous
and momentous question and the fate
of the nation hangs trembling in the
balance awaiting its solution. the
Telegram calls on the World-the Mar
tinsburg World-and all other public
spirited institutions, to take concert
ed action in the matter and finally
force the delinquent sheet at the
mouth of the Little Kanawha to dis
gorge the desired information. Until
that Is brought about, however, the
conclusion will have to stand tina.

these trains will be amply equipped
and the schedule calls for suitable
time OF departure at both ends.
These trains will largely augment
the multitude attending the fair and
that fact shows that there will be eff
fective cooperation OF the railroad
company in what Is hoped and which
promises to be the greatest fair ever
held in the central part of the state.
AS the fair is particularly county

NOW.


Today every nation In the civ
Nized world Is distributing g
large portion Of It's mail matter
n railway mail cars. In the
United States over 18.00D rail-
way mail clerks are separating
over ninety per cent Of all the
mail originating in this country.
and a large volume coming from
foreign lands. They have sep
arated in single year nearly
$4,000, 000. 900 pieces Of mail
matter. They travel an aggre-
gate distance Of 10000, 900
million every year on the IT,
600 domestic transportation
routes having a combined mile
age of 100000 miles. The ser-
vice has been raised to the high
est point Of efficiency today and
the present ratio Of errors In dis
trfbuting has been reduced to- one
In 10000 pieces Of mail. The
clerks are expected to distribute
the mail so that there will be no
rehandling IN the postohices Of
large cities and to separate 1t In
to packages corresponding with
each mail carriers route In the
cities. In the case Of the largest
cities they must separate 1t ac-
cording to secffVns or substa-
tions. Considering the speed at
which the clerks sort the mail.
the swaying Of the train plung-
ing along at fifty miles an hour,
the thousands Of railway con-
Meeting points. the locations Of
over 10000 postofices in the
United States. and the illegibil-
ity Of the hand-written ad-
dresses. 1t become a marvel how
the rail mail clerk can work
without a greater proportion Of
errors.
