French the crossing of five roads.

CLEAN CITY COMMITTEE
NOT TO GIVE UP WORK
Chairman w. II. Richardson Denies
Commercial Body Has Taken
Over Its Activities.

Emphatic denial Of q report that the
clean-city committee of the District has
surrendered its work to an organization
known as the cleanup and paint up COM
mittee was made today by W. H. Richard
son. chairman Of the former organization
Pointing out that the cleanup and
paint-up body Is q commercial organiza-
ton. whereas the organization he repre-
sents Is q civic association. with an
original membership appointed by tho
District Commissioner. Mr.. Richardson
declared tho ciean-ctty committee is here
to stay and will conduct Its usual eani-
tary campaign this spring.
The campaign will last from April 10
to May 1. and will be conducted along
more elaborate lines than any OF the
previous ones.
According to Mr.. Richardson con-
fusion as to the purposes of the two
organizations developed probably as a
result OF the fact that the n-city
committee had indorsed the work the
clean -up-and -paint-up committee pro-
poses to do. In return for this indorse-
ment the latter association promised
TO help finance the work OF the clean
city committee. II is stated.

CHINESE VERSION
| Of JAPAN'S DEMAND
Minister Kai Fu Shah Files
Memorandum at State
Department.
U. S. OFFICIALS MAY MAKE
AN INFORMAL INQUIRY
Explanation Expected Of Differences
Between Reports Given Out by
the Two Countries.

Kai Flu Shah, tho Chinese minister
here. has presented the memorandom
of Japan's demands to the State De-
partment This, on comparison with
the the memorandum which the Japa-
nese foreign office February 8 gave to
the diplomatic representatives OF
Great Britain. France. Russia and the
United States, contains several other
demands, about seven or eight In num-
ber-
officials of the American government
are contemplating directing an infor-
NAL inquiry to the American ambaSsa-
dor at Toxic and the minister at
PekinS to learn which of the two YER
sions was the present basis OF nego-
tiations, but this plan 1t is believed VIII
not be carried out because of the ex-
pectation that with the publicity al
ready given to tho Japanese demands
voluntary explanation of the differ
ences In the two versions probably will
be Forthcoming.
High officials hero were disinclined to
discuss the various demands, Secretary
Bryan announcing that although the State
Department had the matter under con-
sideration no opinion could be given at
this time He denied published reports
that a note had been sent to Japan, how
ever, and IL was stated authoritatively
that the American government had not
since the beginning OF the negotiations
made any representations or taken any
diplomatic steps beyond keeping itself in
formed along with the other powers.
The belief prevailed In official quarters
that inasnuch as the Chinese memoran-
dun antedated considerably the state
ment given the powers by Japan, the lat
ter document probably constituted the
present basis of negotiations. and Signi-
fed either that the original demands were
only tentative and orally made. or that
they had been abandoned altogether

No Conflict With U. s. Policy.

The Japanese version published We'd
nesday confning Japan's requests to
privileges and concessions in southern
Manchuria, inner Mongolia and Shan
tunR, does not, 80 far as competent
American observers now are informed,
conflict with the two policies to which
the United States has been committed
the principle of maintaining the in
tegrity of China and the open door,
for commercial opportunity. AS for the
original version now given out by the
Chinese government, although officials
and diplomats alike guarded it's details
with the utmost secrecy. there was a
belief in some quarters usually well
informed that the japanese also had
asked for privileges in certain locali-
ties as the provinces Of Fukian and
Kiangsi. with new railway CONCESSIONS
and control of mining works.
Obligations requiring the consent Of
Japan before choosing political, financial
or military advisers or the floating OF
loans were thought here, too. to have re-
erred only to these provinces and not 70
he republic of China. although there are
persistent reports that China as whole
was affected by the first set Of re-
quests.

1T has seemed to this government high

Argument of Attorneys.

Certainly presidential appointment
can raise no stronger presumption of
eligibility than an election by the peo-
pie. and the books are full of cases in
which the eligibility of men who have
been chosen by a direct vote of the
people to I'LL important offices has been
challenged, and that challenge has
been sustained, sometimes on the ques-
tfon of age. sometimes on the question
OF residence and sometimes on the
question of citizenship.
Indeed, so far as our information ex-
tends. this Is the first time that any
body had ever ventured to say that
after the lawmaking power had fixed
the qualifications, whether appointive
or elective, the statutory requirements
can be disregarded and the courts are
powerless to enforce them. Such a
contention Is so utterly unfounded that
= does not present a substantial con-
troversy and cannot therefore serve as
a basis for a writ of error to the Su-
9reme Court"
In the petition for a writ of certiorari
the attorneys for Mr.. Newman, after
giving a history of his case, contend
that the power TO determine the quail
ecattons under the law Of an az
pointee as civil Commissioner of the
District rested primarily with the
President and the Senate, and that a
revision OF the Senate's action In con-
hrming the appointment, by a court or
Jury, would be violation of the con-
st1tutional separation of the powers of
government
