the attorney generals office on
plea that after notice of appeal had
been served, and the court term ended.
the trial court granted a new trial
Court records showed, however, that
court had been adjourned "on call,
and not sine die. For that reason, the
supreme court held Judge Langmade
was within his rights in hearing and
approving an application for new
trial and denied the writ.

For Itching Torture

There is one remedy that seldom fails
to stop itching torture and, relieve skin
irritation and that makes the skin soft,
clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, blacl1heads, in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only 35c; an extra
large bottle, $1oo. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.

CHINA DISPLEASED
Orient Republic Peeved Because
She Was Not Consulted.
Will Limit Her Recognition of
q. S.-Japan Agreement.

Toxic. Nov. 10.-China formally an
nounced today that she will limit her
recognition of the special position
which territorial propinquity creates
according to the Japanese-American
understanding" to interests already
esta blished in treaties. The Chinese
foreign office announcement to this eff
feet was received here today.
The statement also declared that
China will not be bound by notes ex-
changed between other countries.
Formal announcement to this effect
is the official indication of dissatis-
faction in China with the recent I'M
derstanding reached between the Uni
ted States and Japan. China is re-
sentful because she was not consulted
in the matter.
Believe U. S. Double Crossed Her.
Washington, Nov. 10.-China feels
that the United States has double
crossed her in t. e formal under
standing" reached recently between
Viscount Ishii of the Japanese mis-
sion ard Secretary of State Lansing
She may even decide to ignore the
plan for recognition of special rights
to Japan. From sources close the
Chinese government it was learned to-
day that China was surprised and be-
wildered when it learned the contents
of the Ishii-Lansing correspondence.
Neither thru its representatives at
washington nor directly thru the Pc
king foreign Office was the Chinese
government apprised of the momen-
tous arrangement entered into by
Japan and America directly concern
ing future relations in China
The Chinese embassy refused to dis
cuss the situation today, even when
shown press dispatches from Toxic in
dicating that the foreign office had
been moved to formal action indica-
ting it's displeasure.
From other high sources, close to
the Peklng government, however, it
was learned that China, not having
been consulted in the new understand
ing, may be disposed to consider that
it has no binding force upon China's
actions. The agreement, according to
the Chinese view, contravenes exist
ing treaties between China and other
powers. Moreover, it was not ratified
by the United States senate and this
makes the Chinese curious as to lust
what binding power it has on
America

MAKE THEM SAFE
Highway Commission To Wipe
Out Dangerous Crossings.
All 'Man Killers" in State
Must Be Removed.

Dangerous grade crossings are to
come under the ban of the state high
way commission. One sweeping order
today removes thirty IMAM killers"
and orders now in contemplation are
expected to have a decided effect on
the campaign to reduce the number
of accidental deaths in Kansas. 1t is
probable that at least 100 dangerous
crossings will be eliminated by order
of the state commission this winter.
Viaducts and subways are to sue
coed dangerous railroad CROSSINGS
where the state commission finds ra-
lief from present conditions impos-
sible. In fact one of the plars being
worked out by the commission will
provide for an unusually large num-
Der of subways and overhead railroad
crossings. OF course the new plan will
be bit more expensive for the time
being. Yet the state reports of acct
dental deaths will probably be greatly
reduced and the railroads and inter-
urban companies, as well as the town
ships and counties will save enough
money in damage suits to pay the en-
tire bill, it is believed. In short. the
system of improving grade crossing
conditions in the state will be based on
the theory of taking the money away
from the undertakes and the law
yers.
Straigbten Out Road
One of the new orders provides for
Strengthening kinks in a road which
crosses a railroad track eight times in
six miles. Another case was that of a
crossing near Lawrence, where three
persons were killed by a train less
than a week ago. In October the
state.commission directed the removal
o. this crossing Failure of the town
ship to act cost three lives and the de-
lay may cost the township enough
money in damage suit iud gments to
straighten all the roads in the district
and provide safe crossings for travel
ers.
Records of the state commission
show twelve deaths at grade crossings
since the board was ORGANIZED. Near
ly fifty orders for removal of danger
Gus grade crossings have been sent to
county and township officials
Roads Bear Half of Cost
- One-half of the expense for re-
moval of the grade crossing is
charged against the railroads or inter-
urban companies affected. Yet in ev-
cry instance the claim has been paid
cheer!uIly and in some instances the
railroads have given to the commits
sion services of expert engineers in
working out plans for removal of dan
gerous places. Where possible road

are built where necessary.
