GOVERNMENT BUYS
 THE ROOSEVELT
Peary's Arctic Expedition Ship Will Be Used As Alaska Fisheries
 Patrol Boat.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The United States government has pur- chased Peary's Arctic exploration ship Roosevelt" and will use her in connection with the patrol service of the Alaskan fisheries. The steamer was specially built to withstand the ice and storms in the Arctic and will prove invaluable in forcing her way to points in the south Boring Sea if required for relief expeditions to the natives on the Pribilof or other isolat- ed islands.
 The government officials recently experienced considerable difficulty before securing a charter on the schooner Bender Brothers to carry relief supplie- to the natives on the Pribilof islands as the owners were not willing to risk their vessel even when guaranteed against loss by the government. The Roosevelt will be brought through the Panama Canal and will arrive in the Pacific early this spring.

Chinese Government Deadlocked Ov CT Granting Concessions To Ja-

PEKING, March 15.-A deadlock ex fists here over the demands of the Japanese and the government is un' able to come to terms regarding the railway and mining concessions de manded by the Japanese government. The demand that Koreans should be permitted to own land in Manchur1a and Mongolia have been favorably considered by the government, but a dead ock exists over the granting of the other concessions, including the opening of Chinese seaports to the trade of the world, permitting Japan csc vessels to ply on inland waters of China as we'll as allowing the ex- ploltation of the mineral resources and railroads by .rorelgners.
 The first contingent of Japanese troops. consisting of thirty thousand trained men equipped for the field, were sent to Yingkow, coast city in Manchuria, and not to Tsingtao, as earlier reported. Advices from Yingkow state that the transports had not arrived there but the Japanese are expected to land troops and take possession of the city today.

OFFICIALS PLATED
 OVER NEW TRIAL
Believed Government Will Have Diff cuIty In Securing Conviction of
 President Patterson.

CINCINNATI, O., March 15.--The officials of the National Cash Regis ter company are elated over the granting of their request for a new trial by the United States circuit court of appeals. The officials were convicted in February, 1913, of viola tion of the Sherman antitrust law and given sentences ranging from one to twenty years. Heavy fines were also imposed.
 President Patterson, of the Nation al Cash Register company, was fined $5,OOO and sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. Twenty-six other officials were fined from $1,00O to $5,' 900 and the costs of the prosecution.
 The case will be carried to the Un- ited States supremec ourt if the de- fendants are again convicted in the lower courts. A change of venue will be asked as it is not believed that President Patterson and the other of- fcials could be convicted in Dayton as a result of their activities in af- fording relief during the flood situa- tion in this state two years ago.
