CHINA REFUSES DEMANDS
MADE BY JAPANESE

PEKING, May 3.-China has replied
to the Japanese demands in a note
which, while complying with some of
the demands, definitely refused to ac-
cede to others, including the most i'm
portant, embodied in what is known as
group five.
China also has furnished to the Jap
anese minister, Eli Hioki, a list of fur
ther concessions which she is willing
to grant, but, after perusing the note
and the list, M. Hioki declared that it
was far from complying with the twen-
ty-four demands as presented by his
government.
This action was taken after Presi-
dent Yuan Shi Kai had thoroughly dis
cussed the entire situation with the
members of his cabinet and his advis-~
ers since last Monday. Should the
Japanese government now present an
ultimatum or occupy further territory
in China, it is intimated that the Chi
nese probably would appeal to the four
powers which are pledged to China's
independence.
On perceiving that the Chinese reply
failed to agree to the demands OF his
government, the Japanese minister de-
clared the withdrawal of Japan's pro-
posal to return to China Using Tau,
which was conditioned on China's. de-
ferring no longer the acceptance Of
Japan's demands.
The Chinese note briefly recites the
history of the negotiations. 1t denies
Japan's charge that China has dis,
played procrastination and delayed
the conferences by disputing various
points, and also the charges of Chinese
insincerity and unfriendliness. 1t fur
ther denies that China is conducting
newspaper campaign abroad. These
were the reasons the Japanese plenipo-
tentiaries gave for presenting their
latest list of twenty-four demands as
a preliminary to an ultimatum.

INCREASE OF CATTLE IN
GERMANY is 823, 900 HEAD

BERLIN, May 3.-The German gov
ernment found time, Notwithstanding
the war, to take the usual census OF
livestock about the beginning of last
December
The most striking feature Of the cen
sus figures, which have just been pub
lished, is a gain of $4,000 in the num-
ber Of cattle over the census of De-
cember, 1913. By far the larger part
of this gain-namely, 655,0OG head
was made in young animals between
three months and two years old. This
was due undoubtedly to the prohibi-
tion at the outbreak of the war of the
slaughter of calves, in order better to
conserve the meat supply
The net results of the census of cat
tie was that the aggregate increased
from 20,994,344 to 21,817,769 head.

vote of the people at a special election
next November, under the provisions
of a bill introduced in the assembly by
Phelps of San Bernardino and spon-
sored by Assemblyman Encell of Ala

as no surprise to legislators in close
touch with the administration.
Opponents of the nOn-partisan bills
in the legislature were preparing
plans to invoke the referendum on the

forts in that direction. In introducing
the bill, Assemblyman Encell says:
'The legislature, by an overwhelm
ing majority in both houses, has
passed measure eliminating parts
anship in the selection of state Off
cials. That measure has been signed

the state.
"There have been many reports and
rumors of dire threats upon the part OF
those who struggled in the minority
against the passage of this measure
1t has been reported in the public press
that the few members who opposed the
measure intended to invoke the refer
endum and hold up the operation OF
/ h. L.
election is held, which, in the ordi
nary course of events, would not be
until November, 1916.
''This bill provides for the election
to be held in November, this year, SO
that there may be no unnecessary de.
lay in submitting the measure to the
people,"
A bill carrying an appropriation OF
1925 900 to pay the cost of printing and
distributing free textbooks for the next
two years was passed by the assembly
and sent to the senate.
Assemblyman D. R. Hayes bill ap
propriating $22,5OO for the construction
of building for male patients at Ag
nes' hospital also was approved by the
house.

TAKES THE PART
OF RAILROADS
PROF. KAY POINTS OUT WHY
THEY ARE ENTITLED TO MORE
FOR CARRYING MAILS.

ATLANTA, Nov. 1S.-What the
railroads of the country are entitled
to receive for carrying the mails. and
the equitable and just manner by
which rates for compensation shall
be established, is tue subject of a
timely article prepared for the Man
ufacturers Record by Prof. Edgar B.
Kay, of Tuscaloosa, Ala, and which
has caused much favorable comment
among railroad men throughout Geor-
gia and adjoining states. Professor
Kay has had unusual opportunities
for studying railroad problems, hav-
ing been for II years, up to January
of this year, the consulting engineer
of the Alabama railroad commission.
Professor Kay pays particular at
tention to the parcels post service and
its effect upon the revenues of the
railroad companies. 1t is reported in
some mountain districts where freight
costs by wagon are very heavy, en-
tire stocks of groceries are now being
sent by parcels post, coal, flour, hard
ware and such things going through
the mails by simply being done up in
to 50-pound packages.
The review of the situation made by
Professor Kay is worthy of the serious
attention of the entire public. 1t is
impossible for the railroads to be Grip
pied without the public being hurt,
and the subject is, therefore, one in
which the interests Of everybody is
involved. The railroads are asking
for more money for hauling the mails,
but so far nothing has been done for
their relief The Manufacturers Rec
ord takes the position that if the gov
eminent through the postoffice de-
partment has the right to deprive the
railroads of just dues and then refuse
to give them the right to appeal to
the courts, that it sets an example that
would cause a Serious trend to de-
terioration of American character in
its judgment as to right and wrong.
