BEANLESS MENU
AT BEEF AN FETE
Throngs Celebrate Fiftieth An
niversary of Dolan's, Despite
Disappointment.

Beans were not served at the
luncheon yesterday in Hesse's Hall, in
William Street, where the celebration
of the fftieth anniversary of Dolan's
beanery was held.
Dolan's was beef and" emporium
of Park Row. Among the guests in the
days of fifty years ago were Horace
Greeley, Charles Dana and others
whose names are conspicuous in the
journalistic world.
In later years came the politicians.
Theodore Roosevelt has also boosted
Ct enjoying a midday luncheon at the
famous beanery. When he became
President he invited Johnny Meehan,
who conducted the place at the death
of his uncle, to the White House.
As the throng who took part in the
celebration yesterday have thrived for
wears on Dolan's "beef and" there was
an uproar when the food that made
the place famous was not on the menu.
II was left for Alexander Hesse, the
proprietor of the hall, to explain. He
said he would not think of permitting
his chef to attempt TO offer his skill as
{. bean cooker to the epicureans.
The celebration started with
parade, followed by concert by the
Letter Carriers Association Band. The
grand marshal of the parade was
James McVey, who has been a letter
carrier for thirty-four years and Is
the oldest regular customer OF Dolans.

CHINA REJECTS
CHIEF DEMANDS
MADE BY TOXIC
Refuses Group V in It's
Entirety in Formal
Note = Japan.
OFFERS TO GRANT
SOME CONCESSIONS
81 Believe lily Government Will
Be Disaproi ted" Is Eki
HiOki's Comment.

Picking, May 1.-The Chinese govern
merit has definitely refg cd some Of
the most important demands made by
Jsran.
On learning Of China's decision the
japanese Minister, xxi Hioki, said to
the Chinese Foreign Minister. Lu
Chene-hsiang:
81 am sorry. believe my govern
ment will be disappointed.
The Chinese Foreign Minister, at
meeting to-day of representatives OF
the two governments, presented
China's reply in the shape of formal
note. # announced China's rejection
of Group V of the Japanese demands
in its entirety.
This group, as originally submitted
to China, contained what are perhaps
the most important demands made by
Japan. 1t provided. among other
things, for employment by the Chi
nese government Of "forceful Japan
csc" as political, financial and mill
tary advisers; participation by the Jap
ancse in the police administration of
various important places; Japanese SUI
pcryision over the manufacture or pur-
chase by China of munitions of war.
and for the granting to Japan OF con-
cessions for railway construction ana
mining and harbor operations.
China has furnished to the Japanese
Minister a list of concessions she is
willing to grant, but after perusing
the note and TIE list, NJ. Hioki declared
that it was far from complying with
the twcnty-four demands as presented
by his government. This action was
taken after President Yuan Shih-kai
had thoroughly discussed the entire
situation with his Cabinet and his ad-
visers.
NJ. Hioki asked whether these were
China's maximum concessions. Lu
Cheng- Hsiang replied that these were
Chinas maximum concessions, and that
the japanese Minister could so inform
his government.
The conference terminated with
neither the Japanese nor Chinese ask
ing for another meeting. Should the
japanese government now present an
utimatum, or occupy further territory
in China, it is intimated that the
Chinese would probably appeal to the
four powers which are pledged to
China's independence.

Washington Believes
Compromise Likely

Washington, May lit was recalled
to-day that China early in February
practically rejected the same demands
by refusing TO discuss them even in
principle. Their temperance in
modified form was believed by the
japanese to offer basis for com
promise, but China's action to-day in
dicates her unwillingness to admit the
articles to discussion even under mod
ification.
Observers here. familiar with Far
Eastern affairs, did not believe that
crisis had been reached, but that with
the expression by each side in the
negotiations of its extreme position the
way would be opened for compromises.
In this respect il was thought possible
that Japan might yield some points in
Group relating to the appointment
of japanese as political, financial and
military advisers in China as a whole,
if she could be recompensed by an &C
ceptance by China of some OF the main
articles asking for special privileges in
Mongolia, many of which the Chinese
have thus far refused.
Japan will continue, il is thought, to
insist on an acceptance of her demands
for railway rights included in Group .,
as we'll as the article relating to the
purchase of arms and ammunition by
China in Japan. The Japanese not
only are anxious to stimulate their
own industries in the manufacture of
arms and open up a nearby market, but
japanese firms are anxious also to OBJ
tain contracts for the sale TO Chinese
soldiers Of uniforms exactly like those
worn by the japanese troops.
One of the most important demands
in Group is that asking for the right
to discuss at a future date the propa-
CATION Of Buddhism in China. The
Japanese many years ago endeavored
to introduce that 'orm of worship into
China on an extensive scale, but the
Chinese dynasty refused 20 permit 1t.
Secretary Bryan continued to-day his
policy of absolute silence on the Jap
anese-C Chinese situation, but 1t is as
sumed in diplomatic quarters here that
beth the United States and Great Brit
ain are quietly eXerting their influence
toward a satisfactory adjustment oil
the situation by compromises.
