JAPANESE SEND
REPLY TO INQUIRY

Washington. Sept. l2,-fhe Japan
ese foreign office has officially notified
this government, that nothing In the
recent demands OF Japan ON China
infriuged the sovereignty of that
country or impaired the Root
Takahira agreement. the state depart
ment announced today.
This statement was made in an
swer to an inquiry OF the state depart
ment September 6. American Am
bassador Guthrie was instructed to
get particulars at Toxic.
The statement said that some OF
the published reports were approx
imately true" regarding the japanese
demands, but that others were col
ored by a mixture OF untruth and ex-
aggeration.
The official report OF the trouble In
Mongolia and the demands resulting
therefrom, given by the state depart
ment, was as follows;
The clash at Cheng Chiatung, be-
ing between military forces. was OF a
serious character and therefore in
order to prevent recurrence OF such
trouble Japan was requesting. in ad-
dition TO proper apologies and none
| tary compensation, that Japanese
officers should be re-appointed as in
structors in the cadet school tprob-
ably at Mukden) and suggesting that
the Chinese government should ask
appointment OF Japanese advisers. to
be stationed with Chinese garrisons in
south Manchuria and eastern Mon
golia. and that as an extension OF its
extra territorial rights the Japanese
government should be permitted to
station japanese policemen in towns
where there are large japanese settle
ments."
The American minister at Peking
reported more briefly. the department
announced. very nearly to the same
effect
The Japanese demands. as reported
Iby the foreign minister, coincide with
newspaper reports, except the Jap
anese version characterizes some OF
them as suggestions" The Amerl-
can minister at Peking characterizes
all OF them as demands"
Secretary Lansing today refused to
comment on the declaration OF the
Japanese foreign minister, but It Is
believed the department will not droT
the matter. II Is believed the state
department will take the matter up
verbally with the Japanese ambassa.
dor here for fuller discussion as tc
whether the integrity OF China and
American interests there are impair.

MAINE ELECTION NO ACCIDENT

MAINE ELECTION NO ACCIDENT
What happened in Maine Monday
was no accident. Local issues might
influence the election of a sheriff or
q county clerk, but the issue so far
as it affected the election OF the state
and national officials, the governor,
the two United States senator's and
the four congressman. was sharply
defined. Every republican and every
democrat knew that nation had its
eye upon Maine. All the resources of
the two great parties had been
brought to bear. and the campaign
was fought with all the political
munitions that could be assembled.
Personalities could not bear greatly
upon the result, for the candidates Of
both parties were most excellent men,
the difference being one of politics
only. 1t was made plain that the
voters of Maine wanted return Of
republican policies in the admins
tration OF the national government.
The voice of Maine was notable in
that 1t forecasts the voice that will
speak next November in the nation.
There was a complete coalition Of
the republican and progressive forces.
Under the Hughes banner ii is known
that there is no cause for division.
and the division has disappeared. The
republican candidates got 100 per
cent OF the vote cast four years ago
for the progressive candidates. TAX
ing It for granted that the sentiment
of other states is the same as that
shown by the Maine voters, Hughes
will win next November with 1,300,-
600 more votes that will be cast for
Mr.. Wilson. The combined vote for
Taft and Roosevelt in 1912 exceeded
the Wilson vote by that figure. so
that with the republican party again
reunited, it has that margin to GO
upon.

GOOD WORDS FROM VISITORS.

At the meeting of the Commercial
club Monday evening, Walter L.
Tooze, of Salem, and Henry VI.
Pfefferle, of Waldo, were guests. Mr.
Tooze, in addressing the club, stated
that he was amazed to find the many
evidences of material prosperity and
advancement he found in Grants Pass,
and he complimented the club and the
community upon the manner in which
it had placed itself upon the map.
He called attention to the fact that
no other community in the state was
arranging to celebrate the opening of
million dollar industry such as the
sugar factory nearing completion
here; that no other community was
shipping ore of quality that would
stand long haul to a railroad ship
ping point. such as was being hauled
to Waters Creek, and that the build
ing Of the new railroad, which was
given birth by Grants Pass effort,
was something any other town would
rejoice in.
Judge Pfefferle extended the good
will OF the Illinois valley people and
bespoke continuation OF an excel
lent feeling between the two districts.

CONVERSE IN MORSE CODE
Thomas A. Edison and His Assistant,
Miller r. Hutchinson, Have a Per.

Thomas A. Edison's friends, who
know how deaf the inventor really
is, wondered at the success with which
he presided when the new naval con.

fall. AS matter of fact. says the

OF men, including President Wilson
and Secretary of the Navy Daniels;
he heard little that was said, but he
presided successfully because his as.
sistant. Mr.. Miller r. Hutchinson, kept
him informed of everything by means
of a telegraphing finger tip that
touched Mr.. Edsons knee under the
table.
A few years ago Mr.. Hutchinson fell
victim to the whooping cough and
lost his voice temporarily. Mr.. Edi.
son suggested to Mr.. Hutchinson that
he learn the Morse code. He did so,
and the two men communicated with
each other by tapping the dots and
dashes with their fingers.

"These resolutions condemn excep'

We must determine what sports we
need to exclude. A hundred years
ago, men would have disapproved or

JAPANESE TAKE TO THE SKI
In the Northwestern Provinces tho
Strenuous Sport Is Becoming
Very Popular.

Skiing is only six years old in ia
pan, but it has become quite popular,
thanks to the efforts of Lieutenant
General Nagaoka, president of the Ma
tional Aero society; Major General
Horiuchi and Lieut. Col. Adolpll Won
Lerch of the Austrian army, says East
and West. In the winter Of 1910,
when Lieutenant Colonel Won Lerch
was attached to the Fifty-eighth regl-
ment at Takata, Ichigo. he introduced
the art to his Japanese comrades. Ia
kata being famous in this country for
it's heavy snowfall, Lieutenant Gen
eral Horuchi, then commander OF the
Takata regiment, with his subalterns,
were naturally induced to take keen
interest in skiing. Those military or
fcers not only studied the novel rec
reation from the military point OF
view, but also endeavored to popular
lie it. In consequence there has been
created craze for skiing in Niigata
prefecture, where some enterprising
postmasters are reported to be pro-
viding ski for their postmen during
the snowy season. While Lieutenant
General Nagaoka remained in COM
mand of the Thirteenth division, the
dull winter life at Takata used ito be
animated by ski races, sometimes In
GLIDING a Marathon race. Later on
Lieutenant Commander Won Lerch
was transferred. to the Ashigawa rsag.
