PEklNG, April 13.-Conferences be- tween representatives .of China and Japan have been resumed. but there is no break in the deadlock which had arisen. The Chinese government declines to recede from the position it has assumed, notwithstanding the fact that Japanese Minister E. Hioki. threatened to discontinue the nego- tiations.
 Chinese Foreign Minister Lu Cheng Hsiang refused to discuss Group V of the Japanese demands. This group relates to number of the most i'm portant demands made by Japan, in- cluding the employment of Japanese political, financial and military ad- visers and. Japanese police; Japanese supervision of the manufacture or purchase of Chinais war munitions and rights to railway and mining operations
 Hioki endeavored to draw the Chinese representatives into the dis cussion of article V of this group which has to do with the concession of Japan of rights for the construc- tion of railroads. He intimated that China had favored Great Britain with railway concessions and had not giv-

Some have gone, more will go to- day, and tomorrow, everybody will

 outside of the pleasure such a fete
 will give to those who participate.
 Going out over the wires, the story
 of what happens at the dam, will let the world know that the first and biggest reclamation project has
 come clean''-is a success.
 This morning, water is within few inches of the spillway on the
 south end of the dam. Last nights reading showed it to be within nine
 inches of the top. Calculated at the rate of it's ordinary daily gain. today's increase will if sustained. put the first few drops of water over the

 that the use of a few acre feet day to help out the tagging Verde to supply the crops of the valley
 would not be a consideration in the filling of the reservoir. Yesterday not over a thousand acre feet were
 let down the river, and then only
 because it was absolutely necessary in order to supply the heavy crops.
 At yesterdays meeting of the com mittee here, everything was arranged for caring for the crowds. President John P. Orme of the water users announced that he would have four
 men on the road to help with the patrol. Sheriff Jeff Adams said his
 men were in readiness. Globe wired down that their end of the cele- bration was all complete Romaine Fielding took two auto loads of his
 motion picture people to Roosevelt yesterday to be on hand to film the celebration. Fred Kenyon of the

 to carry all the people that want to go Some more of his distinguished guests are coming and they need

He said that thirty years ago his com- pany opposed the union, but just prior to 1907, when strike was called cost ing the company s5,000,000, the union became rejuvenated and no protest was made. A short time later an agreement was reached, but the very next day a strike was called in San Francisco, he said, which eventually spread all over the country. Since then the company has not cared to employ men interested in the union.
 The witness repeated considerable testimony similar to that given by President Carlton of the same com were not high enough.

resident defendant by substantive pro- cess, the corporation not being party, was settled in supreme court yesterday when by divided decision, that trib- una reversed Judge Lockwood of the Cochise court in the now famous Hook Hoffman case. By this decision, the controversy over the ownership of about fourth interest in the rich Mexican mining property of La Demo- crata will now become an issue in Aci- zona courts. As determining a point of law that has never been brought di- rectly before any court, and which is therefore unique, this decision is a highly important one. It was written by Judge Franklin, Chief Justice Ross concurring and Judge Cunningham dis senting.
 La Democrata mine was originally owned by Lycurgus Lindsey of Los An geles, and under his administration de- veloped into one of the richest gold propositions in Mexico. He sold it to Herman H. Hoffman. who is defendant in the present action and to Leo Cloud. They formed a company, in which Cloud was to have received a tenth in- terest. on account of work that he did Continued on Page Five)

William ROckhill Nelson, Founder, Owner and Editor of Kansas City Star, Dies at Home After Long Illness
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHJ

KANSAS CITY, April 13.-The fun eral services of William Nelson, editor of the Kansas City Star, who died early today after long illness. will be held Friday afternoon, it was an- nounced tonight. Hundreds of tele- grams of sympathy have been re- ceived by relatives.
 William Rockhill Nelson was found- CT. owner and editor of the Kansas City Star. Although he did not en- ter the newspaper business until he was nearly 40 years old, he brought to it such originality, ability and energy that he built up one of the greatest newspapers of the country.
 Mr Nelson was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana March :, 1S41 He came of two centuries of American ancestors. His maternal grandfather. William Rockhill, settled in Indiana when that state was a wilderness in 1919, and was the first farmer in America to plant d thousand acres of corn. His father, Isaac DeGroff Nelson, was identified with the upbuilding of the state and took an active hand in it's political life.
 William Rockhill Nelson was edu- cated at Notre Dame University. After a short experience as young ster in cotton growing in Georgia just after the war, he returned to Indiana and became a general contractor. .sHe engaged in the building of roads,
 hc;I md e. sociated in a contract for the con- struction of the Southern Illinois State Penitentiary.
 Intense admiration for the reform work of Samuel J. Tilden brought him into contact with the great democrat and when only 34 years old, he be- came Tilden's Indiana campaign man. ager. His interest in political leader ship made him turn to newspaper work as the best way to influence men in the mass. He bought an in- terest in the Fort Wayne Sentinel and d business reverse determined him to devote all his time to jour- nalism.
 He soon became convinced that the opportunities in Fort Wayne were too small, and after looking the field over he decided on Kansas City as the most promising city of the country He persuaded his Fort Wayne part ner. Samuel E. Morss, to make the venture with him. They s0ld theil Fort Wayne interests, went to Kansas City and started The Evening StaI as little, four page afternoon news paper, on September IS, 1880. MT Morss withdrew from the enterprise after a few months on account of i'll health. and MT. Nelson continued as sole owner and editor in chief
 In politics he was. as he often said independent but never neutral But he would never consider any elective or appointive position.
 In 1881 MT. Nelson married Miss Ida Houston. Their one child, a daughter Mrs. Irwin Kirkwood. lives in Kansas City

Governoy Sigms Paroles
 Foy Thity-Six Prisoners

Acting on the recommendation of the new board of pardons and paroles, which was sustained Monday by the supreme court, Gov. Hunt yesterday signed thirty-six certificates of. parole for prisoners at Florence.
 All of the men paroled had earned their paroles under the merit system by work on the state roads, having served for sufficient time in the road camps to entitle them to release under this plan. Recommendation for their pa- role. which were filed with the governor some weeks ago by the par- don board had not been acted upon pending decision in the Laird case.
 Gov. Hunts action yesterday was the
