In relation to Shantung, Japan asks
that China transfer to her all rights
and concessions previously enjoyed by
Germany and requires China to con-
suit Japan on all matters previously
agreed upon between Germany and
China in the province of Shantung.
China is to agree not to ALLEVIATE or

The 1. C. G. Rejects Schedule Filed by
X. G. Stock Yards.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE inter-
state commerce commission today
threw out a tariff filed by the Kansas
City Stock Yards company to impose
a trackage charge of rs cents a car at
unloading docks in it's yards and a
switching charge of 81 per car on
eight of the fourteen railroads serv-
ing Kansas City.
The commission held the Stock
Yards company was not a common
carrier and said:
The commission is empowered to
strike a tariff from it's files if filed as
part of a scheme by shippers to secure
unlawful allowances from carriers un-
der pretense of common carriage"
The opinion declared. however. that
the complaining railroads may COM
pensate defendants, but that it may
not exact such compensation through
a published tariff
The commission held further that
the Kansas City company was a pub
lie utility and might lawfully receive
pay for the services in question

Most Reckless Violation of

NO ARRESTS ARE MADE
Little Attention Paid to Drivers
by City Officers.
Is Measure Being Allowed to

Apparently, members Of the To-

forgotten or are negligent as to the
enforcement of the city ordinance

the ordinance is being recklessly vio-
Of the city.
An incident in the slack enforce
ment of the ordinance occurred Tues
day evening at the Union Pacific depot
crossing on Kansas avenue in North
Topeka. Two autos passed between
a street car which was unloading pas
sengers at the depot and the line Of

two autos passed in two or three

on the curbing in front of the depot
and made no effort whatever to stop
the autos.

of the police force predicted that the
law would undoubtedly cause num-
Der of arrests.
For a few months after the ordi-
nance was in effect it was rigidly OBJ
served and enforced by the police de-
partment. Recently, however, little
recognition apparently has been given
the measure by either officials or
drivers.
So far as is known, no arrests for
violations of the ordinance have been
made by the police. This, however.
would be immateria1 SO long as the
measure was enforced.
Like many other ordinances on the
city's statute books, the measure is evil

oblivion through negligence Of the po-

The driving of motor cars and mo-
torcycles in the city with the cutout

avenue.
The auto ordinance was passed last

and it was originally an idea of Mayor

four hundred scenes from over one
