NOPRoTEsT ON Jap DEMANDS
China Will Probably Be Allowed to
Settle Matter Without Help from
the Powers.

Toxic, March 1O.-The Japanese
government received not long ago a
friendly inquiry from the United
States calling attention to the differ
ence between the Japanese and Chi
nese versions of the series of demands
made by Japan upon China, shortly
after Japan ousted the Germans from
their Kiao Chow concession, and which
for two months past have been sub
ject of negotiation at Peking.
In reply, Japan has communicated a
supplementary note to the great pow
ers, in which it summarizes the arti-
cles not included in its first statement
on this subject. Japan explains that
these articles, being in the nature OF
requests concerning old and long pend
ing questions between Japan and Chi
ma, it had not felt previously any obi
cation to impart them to the powers
1t is generally understood in Toxic
that neither the United States nor any
European powers has registered objec-
tion to the japanese demands, and the
impression prevails here that Japan is
determined to bring about an accept
ance of most, if not all of them

Oklahoma City Man Tells Secretary
Lane Of the ProdigaIity in
Usage Fields

Washington, March 1o--Waste of
natural gas in the Western oil field
was described to Secretary Lane today
by c. B. Ames of Oklahoma City, rep
resenting the Usage and Oklahoma
Gas Company, lessee of a big tract in
the Usage nation reservation, which
supplies the city of Tulsa, Ok The
company leases its holdings from the
government and is seeking an extern
sion of the contract in common with
the big oil-leasing concern of the reser-
walton, the Indian Territory Illuminate
ing Oil Company.
Mr. Ames said the waste in gas
throughout the oil fields had been ap-
palling with the exception of the
Usage field The reason for this, he
believed. lay in the large acreage of
the Usage lease and the small leases
outside that reservation. Small oper-
ators, he said, were compelled to drill
line holes" to keep rivals from tap
ping their supply, and the great waste
resulted
The gas company is seeking a new
lease on rental of $500 per well a
year as against 500 rental fixed in the
original lease, and it proposes that the
government revise rentals every five
years and increase them as the value
of the gas produced has increased with
growing markets.

TO HOLD THE CITIES. LIABLE
Bill Passed by the Senate Provides
that Families May Recover for
Liquor Sales

Topeka.-The Kansas senate has
passed a bill to tie another knot in
the rope about the neck of the Kansas
jointists and the city officials who
connive at violations of the Prihibitory
Law and property owners who let
their buildings be used for violating
the law. The senate passed two bills
asked for by S. NJ Brewster, attorney
general, and introduced by Senator
Price of Clark county. One provides
that the wife, child, relative or any
other person injured by a drunken
man can recover from the city where
the liquor was sold in violation of the
law for any punitive and actual dam
ages to persons, property or mind that
may have been caused by the drunk
ard or intoxicated person.
The other bill provides that in addi-
ton to recovering damages from the
city where liquor was SOLD the in
jured person may also sue and re-
cover actual and exemplary damages
from the owner of the property where
the unlawful sale of liquor was made.
The bills were presented to the house
and an effort made to get them up at
once for action in that body.

WANTS STATE LINE DEP0Ts
Bill Recently Passed by the House
Wauld Make Interstate Railroad
Fare Much Cheaper

Topeka--The house of representa-
tives has passed a bill that is causing
the railroads all sorts of trouble. 1t
was introduced by Representative
Carter of Doniphan County and pro-
vides all railroads which have lines
extending outside the state must
build depots or platforms within two
hundred feet of the state line. and all
trains are to be required to stop a
sufficient length of time to allow pas
sengers to alight-
The bill was hailed as a joke by
numerous members until it came up
today Then it was shown that under
the proposed new passenger tariffs of
the railroads the simple crossing of a
state line by a road made trip in
Kansas cost two and one-half cents a
mile instead of two cents, the pres
ent legal fare The railroads an
nounced the increase in fares for in
terstate trips to take effect March l.
but the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion held up the raise.
By the proposed tariff a passenger
from Topeka to Kansas City. Mo-,
could buy a ticket to the Kansas side
for s1-39, while if he bought it to the
new Union Station, the ticket would
cost him s173. The Carter Bill is in
tended to permit passengers to ride
at two cents a mile within the state
and then pay cash fares for the inter
state trip the rest of the distance they
want to go. When the bill was ex-
planned the house passed it with a
whoop.

WAR STOPS EXCHANGE
OF LETTERS BY BOYS
Tech Seniors Unable to Correspond
With German Lads in Own
Language, as Formerly

The German correspondence class
formerly maintained among the senior
boys of the German classes by Profess
sor Percy l.. Grubb of Technical high
school for exchanging letters with Eng
lish students in Germany has not been
continued since the war
Professor Grubb has about twenty
scholars who are willing to practice
letter writing in German. but owing to
the uncertainty of conditions he has
not made arrangements with the agent
in Leipsig, who usually secured the
German correspondents. This he
hopes to do soon, and he says it will
probably be easy to secure students
in Germany to write to the boys here
as the authorities in the Fatherland
are anxious to create a sympathetic
sentiment among people in this coun-
try.
The plan of the classes carried on
for three years was to write letters
alternatively in German and English
to boys in Germany who are studying
the English language.
