CHINESE FAIL TO
 GRANT CONCESSIONS
 TO STANDARD OIL
Officials Speculate as to Possible Con- nection With Recent Granting of
 Japan's Commercial Demands

Washington, August 14.-Failure of the manent concession for development of oil fields in North China as reported to- day from Picking. caused much comment here. Officials were inclined to speculate as to possible connection between the failure of these negotiations and the re- cent granting by China of the Japanese commercial. demands.
 More than half of the American export to China Is in oil. and development of extensive fields in China by citizens Of any other country would have a disas- trous effect on Chinese-American trade, according to commercial officials of the government. The United States was the only country doing an increased trade Tn oil with China during 1914, and the oil is has not met severe Japanese competition.
 In a report made public today, Consul General Sammons at Shanghai said the Standard oil was "expending large sums of money to demonstrate whether China $ ot fields are to contribute to the far east ern demand for kerosene and other petro- leum products"
 Paul Reinsh, minister to China, and Consul Summons, both are in the United States and will visit Washington before returning to China. It is expected they will confer with officials here on this and other phases of the Chinese situation.

With Situation in Hands of Supporters of Davis Bill Consideration of Measure Is Postponed
WANT THE MEASURE
 VOTED UPON BY A
 FULL ATTENDANCE
Effort to Abolish the Lease System Causes Big Legis- lative Struggle and Out come Is Doubtful
 
By HUGH W. ROBERTS


 Montgomery. August I4.---tspccinID The sense of justice Of the abolition ists, requiring thnt the convict lease system be voted on by a full attcnd- ancc of the members of the house. let slip out of their fingers this after noon magnificent victory.
 Thre Is no. question but that at the hour of bringing the all-day battle to a slight majority, were In control of the situation Despite that fact there were enough of them adherlng to the rule that fair play should obtain to make possible the success of resolution by Represent tative Bradshaw of Lauderdale, postpon- ing further consideration of the Davis bill until noon Tuesday,
 Big Thing in Legislature
 On that date both sides will be rein- forced by members who could not forego the temptation this afternoon to catch trains for their homes. And. as stated in The Age Herald of this morning, the issue will be positively in doubt neither side at present claiming victory by a margin greater than handful of votes.
 The Davis bill. as previously explained. was the paramount order for the day. The biil provides that state convicts after January 1slS shall he leased no more to mine operators, or the owners of turpentine and lumber camps The de- bate was preciptated carly in the day. and until late in the afternoon, was maintained vigorously hy the leaders of the opposing schools of though. Ths threadbare arguments which tend to atls- tain hoth contentious were rehdarsed re- peatedIy. the usual emotion was aroused, the usual tears were shed. and the usual materialistic points presented Through out the day, however. the idea prevailed that the aholitionsts were in the ma ioirity, and that their cause would pre- vail
 This belief was accentuated when shortly after the noon recess, an amend ment by MT. John of Sumter, providing that boys and cripples be worked on the road, and that convicts so employed bs permitted to live In tents rather than portable cages was voted down over whelmingly When soon thereafter Mir. Bradshaw moved that further considera- tion of the bill be postponed. the gen. eral presumption was that the abolition ists would, through positive action, de- feat the proposition. The surprise there fore, was electrical In it's effect, when a after having called the roll, the clerk announced the success of the resolution by margin of three or four votes. Sparkling Debate
 During the long and at times spark ling debate. nothing of an extraordinary nature was injected. One of the abo- litionsts raised the point that the gov- ernor in opposing the destruction of tho lease system was inconsistent in that during his campaign, he espoused that idea Inasmuch however, as the alleged inconsistency of the governor was im- material in n discussion wherein the mer- it's and demerlts of proposed plan were being seriously weighed. the mild im- peachment attracted only negative a1d short lived attention.

MORE TROOPS ARE RUSHED ID AID OF
 GEN. FUNSTON ON
 MEXICAN BORDER
Artillery and Aeroplanes Included in Equipment for Strengthening the De- lenses at Brownsville. Outlaws Warned

Washington, August 14.-Late today the war department nt the request of Major General Funston ordered one regiment of infantry from Texas City to Brownsville md nlso ordered one aeroplane. one battery of Az guns and one battery of Az howitzers to Browns viIIe from Fort sill, Okla.
 Major John Bell, commanding at Texas City, will select the infantry regi- ment: the commander at Fort Sill will choose the batteries. Although first re- ports today indicated no more forces would be sent to Brownsville, later devel- opments evidently convinced General Funston of the need of more protec- tion for the border line threatened by Mexican raiders.
 Assistant Secretary Breckenridge said that the new orders were issued because of General Funston's desire that the gar rison at Brownsville be strengthened.
 "The howitzers have been sent" said Mir Breckenridge, .as they are the best weapons to use against marauders who may be hiding in the hills because of their high angle fire General Funston feels that there should be a stronger force at Brownsville, where there has been so much difficulty He did no, report any new development
