CHINA PROTESTING

Result in Trouble.
WASHINGTON INTERESTED

Washington, Aug. l9.-China has
protested to Japan, it was learned
here today, against the sending Of
1000 troops to Cheng CHA Tung, in
eastern Mongolia, because of a recent
disturbance there, resulting in clash
between Chinese and Japanese troops,
1t is contended by the Picking gov
eminent that when the local Chinese
magistrate ordered precautions taken
against an expected RAID by nomadic
bandits who were Selling prominent
persons in that section for ransom,
some of the Japanese residents re-
fused to obey. The magistrate at
tempted to enforce the order by ar
resting a Japanese, it is said. where
upon the Japanese began armed re-
sistencc, which resulted in about sew
enteen deaths on both sides. The Jap
anese captured the magistrate and
took him away.
1t Is Up to China.
The Japanese are said to have re-
ceived reinforcements from their
nearby garrisons in South Manchu-
ria, and reports from Toxic say a
regiment of cavalry, three battalions
of infantry and mixed company with
machine guns have been dispatched to
the city. China sent a protest, and
the whole situation was discussed Fri
day by the Japanese cabinet, which
announced that its attitude would de.
pend on the attitude and cooperation
of China.

they did not anticipate any seriou:
development, though the racial hostil

OLD-TIMERS APPLY
FOR DRIVING JOBS
Some Want to Drive the Ok
Teams and Some the Old
Fashioned Stage Coach.
LIGHTS ARE TO BE UNIQUE

Ii Yuba Bill, celebrated stage driver
of Bret Harte's California yarns, were
still living somewhere in Red Dog
Canyon, Yuba Bill would undoubtedly
apply for job driving a Stage Goa h
in the historical parade that is to be
seen in Omaha in October, during the
Ak-Sar-Ben festivities.
For most of the Irving stage drivers
celebrated a quarter or half century
ago are applying for such Jobs. Some
how, these fellows from the sage
brush and the gulcLes have learned
that Samson wants The real thing in
this parade. They have learned that
he wants real stage drivers, who are
unhappy in anything but cowhide
boots, who wear long mustaches, and
who can spit tobacco on the lead
mules ear at every jump in the trail.
So they have begun to write letters
and ask for a job. 1t will be only a
one day job. but Samson probably will
make it worth their while for the
day, as he wants the parade to have
as much OF the realistic as possible.
Ok Drivers, Too.
Then, too, the old-time OK drivers
are writing letters in. Some Of them
are written in spelling that is scarcely
revised spelling of the twentieth cen,
fury, but Samson manages to make
out that they want job driving the
OK teams that will appear drawing the
prairie schooners in the big parade
Other letters are from persons who
want to know more about the fall fcs
tival. Some are planning to come cleal
across the continent to see the tai
festivities and they want to know tn,
details, clear from the historic parade
to the grand ball. from the diving girl'
to the electrical pageant, frop thu

CREDIT MEN WANT
SEVERAL CENTERS
Would Divide Country Up Into
Districts, Where Records
Would Be Kept. I
ARE TO MEET HERE MONDAY

The movement for central clearing
house for retail credit information
from all over the United States,
which has been gaining ground dur
ing the last few months in the Ma
tional Retail Credit Mems association,
is now breaking up into several move
ments for several such central bu-
reaus. By the time the matter comes
up before the convention Of this body,
which is to open at the Fontcnelle
hotel Monday for a three days ses-
sion, it is likely there will be strong
faction favoring the establishment OF
at least four or five such bureaus, COW
ering credit information by districts
in the United States, instead of try
ing to center all the information in
cumbersome filing system in one
office for the entire United States.
Once there was talk OF organizing
the central bureau for the entire
country, where all subordinate or
local bureaus would report their
cases, to be kept on file. Omaha was
then spoken OF as the, centrally To-
Gated city in which such bureau
could most logically be located.
Now comes the St. Louis delegation
to this national convention, hot for
the location of such central bureau
in St. Louis.
On top Of this comes the suggestion
from some that it will never do al
all to have one central bureau, bu'
that it will be much more practicable
to have at least five Of them, cover
ing their respective territories. Thu:
Il is suggested one such bureau b.
located in New York City, covering
the east and southeast. Another
could be located in Pittsburgh, COW
ering Pennsylvania, Ohio, and per
haps a few other states. Still an
other could be located in Chicago
covering the large tributary territor,
of Chicago. One should be located
at Omaha, covering the towns ant
cities of the central west, it is pointed
out, and then one at San Francisco
to cover the western states and thu
coast country.
At the present time retailers mus
constantly write to scores of town
and cities for information as to thu
credit standing OF persons who hav'
recently come from those cities. I'm
der the system of maintaining cen
trial, or several central exchanges
they could write to the exchange GOV
ering the district from which thes
cases come. The information woul'
come back promptly, and thus sin
