OVER HALF TRADE
 Is IN k EROSENt l.,
Consular Reports for 191 | Show |. $. Only Nation Whose Oil Trade With China Was Marked by an Increase
IAssoc1ArED PRESS DIsPATcul

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1f.-Thc fail urc of the Standard oil company to obtain a permanent concession for th, development of oil fields in Nor tEern China. as reported from Pckin. caused much comment in cumincr- cial and diplomatic circles. Official. ..re inclined To speculate as to possible connection between the fail Fsre of these negotiations, and the recent granting by China of the com mcrcial demands made the Japanese.
 More than half of American export business to China is kerosene oil and -bs development of extensive fields in China by the citizens of any Oth- ,r country would have a disastrous cff,.t on the Chinese American trade acCording to commercial officials cf the government The United States Was the only country doing an in creased trade in oil with China dur ing 1914. oil being about the only article in that trade which had not met with severe Japanese com rctition Official reports from China have dealt at length with the oil sit l.ation. Several confidential advices nave been received by the state and commerce departments.
 Tn report on China's foreign trade for last year made public here. CoHsol General Thomas Summons at Shanghai said.
 Of the few -TJenns of increased i'm I,orts into China in 1914. American Kerosene proved to be of the greatest importance. Imports of this com InOdity increased by 57.96S,464 gal hons in 1914.
 "On tfc whole. business was dis appointing on account of the high ocean freight rates and rising retail prices which forced the native con sumers back to primitive ilumina tion methods and the use of vege- table oils After kerosene. imports To China from the United States amounted to only about s31,290 900. I1 I9lf kerosene importations were valued at t$le,6SG.146.
 This great American trade may eventually be largely superseded through the opening of prospective oil fields in Northern China. The standard oil company is expending large sums Of money to demonstrate whether China's oil fields will be able to contribute to the far eastern de- u-and for kerosene and other petro- lcum products Last year this com Iany concluded a temporary contract with the Chinese government to eX- ploit certain provinces for the prod uctiUn of petroleum"

Message is Forwarded to Chiefs of Warning Fac tions in Mexico as Well as to Governors of the Various States
CONSTITUTIONAL
 RECONSTRUCTION
Appeal, Although Address ed to Political and Mill tary Leaders, Takes Form of Announcement to Mex ican People Themselves
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The Pan American appeal to Mexico, now being delivered to the chiefs of the factions and the governors of the states was made public tonight by the state department. Without even an intimation of armed intervention
 it calls upon the leaders to meet
 somewhere in Mexico on neutralized ground in a conference ito adopt the first steps necessary to a consti- tutional reconstruction of the coun-
 try" and to issue a call for imme- diate elections.
 The services of the United States or any other of the Pan-American conferees are offered as intermediar-
 is to arrange the meeting. The ap- peal although addressed to political and military leaders, takes the form of an announcement to the Mexican
 people themselves. As replies are asked for within ten days after the appeal is received, although the time may be extended for cause, no fur ther meeting of the Pan-American conference is planned until they have been received or it is apparent some of the MeXicans addressed do not propose to reply.
 The appeal went forward today to Generals CarranZa and Villa and to more than score of other military and political leaders throughout Mex icO, being transmitted by cable, tele- graph and wireless whichever method was required to reach the desired destination. The conferees confident ly expect within a reasonable time enough favorable replies to warrant them in extending their aid to ar range for the proposed peace con- ference
 Carranza's attitude toward the ap- peal is still a matter of speculation here. Although his position thus far l has been regarded as defiant, it is i hoped the friendly tone of the ap- peal may lead him to open negotia-
 tions with the conferees. It is gen erally believed he will reply by mak- | ing counter proposals upon which he would agree to join the peace confer ence Should CarranZa make no re- ipy whatever it is expected the con- l ferees will accept the invitation of 1 other factions in Mexico to arrange the details of the peace conference
 without participation. In support of l a government not representing all
 the factions, probably it will become necessary to extend the plans of the l Pan-American conference. An em- i bargo on arms against the forces which might oppose the new govern
 ment probably will be the first step.

CITY NOW HAS
 COMPREHENSIVE
 MILK MEASURE
City Commission Passes New Milk Ordinance and TranSacts Host of Other Business in Morning and Afternoon Sessions

With but one or two minor chan ges, the milk ordinance introduced and given two readings at q previous meeting. was passed to third read iSe at meeting of the city com mission yesterday morning and un- animously adopted. No protest was filed against the adoption of the measure which is one of the most comprehensive and far-reaching doc uments recently brought up for con sideration by the legislative body of this city. A resume of the ordinance was presented in The Republican last Monday morning.
 Before the measure was put tc the final vote Mayor George U. Young and the commissioners agreed that in theiI opinion the proposed ordinance might have been consider ably shortened without seriously af- fecting its purpose but City Health Officer Godfrey was on hand to state that there was no clause but that was absolutely necessary to the proper handling of the milk situation here ana to the safeguarding of the public health.
 There was lengthy discussion of the troubles arising in this city from the keeping of chickens within the city limits. T. w.

A NEW TRIAL AWARDED
MIR. w. H. MOSS.
Court Of Appeals Reverses Judgment
of Circuit Court.

In an opinion delivered by Judge
Constable. the Court of Appeals today
reversed the Judgment OF the Circuit
Court for Anne Arundel County in
awarding damages to the extent Of
$1,000 TO William Fl. Moss, Of this city
who had sued the Washington. Balti-
more and Annapolis Electric Railroad
Company for damages, alleging that it
had broken a contract with him by
promising him employment for serv-
ices in securing for it the site now
occupied as a station and waiting
room at the corner Of College avenue
and Bladen street, in this city. and for
failing to keep its promise.
However, q new trial is awarded.and
the Court indicates very strongly thar
BIr. Moss may secure compensation fot
services rendered. although the con-
tract upon which he relied in the suit
was considered too vague to form a
basis of action.
The opinion points out that the tes-
timony showed that Mr.. Moss conceiv-
ed the idea OF the station where now
located; gave up a portion Of the lease
which he held on his own place OF
business, and was of much value in
connection with the whole affair.
1T would be a reproach to the law.
the opinion says, IF there was not
some remedy under such circumstan-
ces.'
