NEW YORK, Oct, 2-Viscount
lshii, head of the Japanese high COM
mission, was on record today as
reiterating his pledge that Japan
would maintain an open door in
China, protect China against agrees
sion and would not itself violate that
nations territorial rights.
Speaking to a gathering of editors
and city officials last night, he made
these statements, but declared
Japan's attitude should not be con-
strued as q Monroe doctrine in Asia,
as several New York papers styled it.
Il want to make it clear to you,'
he said. that the application of the
Monroe doctrine" to this policy and
principle voluntarily enunciated and
pledged by me, is inaccurate. There
Is this fundamental difference be-
tween the Monroe doctrine of the

only Three Automobiles Have Been
Stolen Outright Here, and Two
Of the Cars Were
Recovered.
HUNDREDS IN COUNTRY
Many Cards Announcing Stolen Cars
Are Received at Police Sta
ton Every Day of
the Year.

Considering the fact that automo-
biles by the score are stolen every
day throughout the United States,
Keokuk can be cosidered lucky in
the fewness of auto thefts here.
Only three cars have been stolen out
right here, and two Of these were
later recovered. Recently, however,
number of cars have been taken by
JOY riders, but later abandoned a.
some out Of the way place.
The first automobile stolen here
was Ford car belonging to DR..
MacCormack, now Of Chicago. This
was taken from in front of the Ma
sonic building two or three years
ago and never recovered. The Sage
Cadillac, which was taken from the
garage in the rear of the Sage home,
was recovered about six weeks later
down in Missouri in a badly damaged
condition. The Baker car taken the
other night, turned up next morning
in Fort Madison.
The police authorities have hun
dreds of circulars and cards on file
reporting automobile thefts in all
parts of the country. A half dozen
new notices are received each day
and twice month assurance men
Senu out circulars llSClnS score OF
more of stolen automobiles. Rewards
ranging from $25 to $500 are offered
for the recovery of cars. OF all stol-
en- cars, Fords lead the list. This is
because they are harder to identify,
it is said
1t would be impossible for the To-
cal authorities to look into every case
of auto theft reported here, for many
of the cars are taken from remote
parts of the country. But a careful
watch is kept for automobiles report
ed stolen in neighboring territory.
All local garages are notified and
asked to look out for the stolen cars
and are provided with descriptions
of the property. The insurance com
panies also send garages lists of stol-
en- cars.
The local authorities are anxious
to secure list of Iowa numbers, but
1t seems the state does not issue
these. There is private firm, how
ever, that provides lists Of numbers
but the cost is something like $15 q
thousand numbers. The Fort Madi.
son authorities have such lists and
were able to identify the Baker car
when it was found abandoned In
street in that town.

Henry A. Yoemans, dean of the
college, writes:
- One goes to student
in the graduate school, and there
has never been any difficulty, SO
far as am informed, in the num-
Der and quality of applicants for
it. Our trouble is with the two

hard to interest boys in Iowa in
the Perkins scholarships, but
thus far without success.
The endowment was a munifcent
gift, and it is a source of embar-
rassment and even a humiliation
to me that we have not used the
money to better advantage
