Governor is Reported to Have Plan
Under Amusement.
Richmond, March Tt was semi
officially reported at the capitol build
ing yesterday that Governor DAVIS
had under consideration request to
the general assembly, asking its mem
bers to remain in session for five or
ten days after March 9, the day Of
adjournment, or if preferred, special
short session may be called. The gov
ernor, when asked for a statement,
refused to discuss the matter.
If the legislators remain in Rlch-
mond after March 8 they will do so,
according to the plan discussed, at
their own expense. Should the stale
continue their pay it would cost up
wards of $4,000, it is said, although,
inasmuch as many bills of Importance
will necessarily be left on the calen-
dar the governor may consider that
amount not unreasonable in return for
sno additional legislation.

Baltimore, March 7.-Apparently
dead for five days, the bodies Of 4
13-yesr-old girl and man 80 years
old were found yesterday morning on
the third floor of 106 North Exeter
street. The child's body was that OF
Capitolia Payne, daughter of Lieu

Norfolk, Va. The mans body was
that of James Grant, a machinlsts
helper, who formerly lived in Norfoii''
Coroner-at-large F. Edward Smith,
after an examiration of the premises,

suicide.
Mrs. Rose Payne, who formerly

JAPAN TO MAKE REPLY
This Nations Views on Siberian Ques-
ton Sent to Ambassador at Tokyo.

Washington, Mar. Barring un-
forseen emergencies at Vladlyostok'
Japan is expected to reply to the rep
reservations of the United States be-
fore acting in Siberia. Japan knew
last night the views of the United
States against Intervention in Sibe-
ria. But the question is still an open
one, it IS insisted in all quarters. The
representations of the United States
are described as in no sense an ultl-
matum.
In well-informed Japanese quarters
it is predicted that the representations
of the United States against inter
vention in Siberia will be received IN
the spirit in which they were made
That spirit was described last night
as the strong presentation of dlf-
fering viewpoint to friendly ally.
1t is admitted as possible, though
improbable, that Japan will withhold
action due to what President Wilson
has instructed our Ambassador at
Toxic to say. Such a course is not
believed probable for two reasons.
First, political opposition in Japan
to the present Japanese government
is not strong enough to change its de-
termination to intervene in Siberia.
Second, that determination is backed
by England, France and, presumably,
Italy.
Barring an unforeseen emergency at
Vladivostok, Japan is expecting to re-
ply to our representations before she
acts.
The United States has made her
representations in strong but polite
terms. They differ radically from. the
viewpoint of her allies, both European
and Oriental. But, it is insisted they
are made in the most friendly way.

Seeks New Relations Over the Ruins
of Russia.
Amsterdam, March German di-
plomacy is bending might and main
to construct re-orientation OF sEe
Central Powers relations with the
East and far East upon the ruins Of
Russia.
This fact, long since foreshadowed
bv close observers who have watched
Wilhelmstrasses firtations with the
Mikado. was indirectly confirmed to-
dav by the Koelnische Zeitung, which
often derives inspiration for its edito-
rial policy from the Berlin foreign
office.
The paper says fatty that it IS
now a question between Russo
German agreement against Japan, or
an understanding between the latter
nation and Germany. The journal,
it is true, bases this speculation upon
Japanese intervention in Siberia as
pre-condition. 1t is known, however,
that even if Japan does not act in
that direction, Berlin is anxious to
come to an understanding with the
Nipponese government.
To all previous efforts in this dl-
rection Tokyo has given the Kaiser
the cold shoulder and diplomats he"e
confidently expect Japan to pursue
this policy of absolute loyalty to the
entente cause.

Germans Unable to Plsh Back Men
Fighting Like Veterans.


Washington. March THE sector
northwest of Toul, in Lorraine, held
exclusively by American troops, is
being gradually extended, 1t was
learned at the War Department last
night. The distance in a straight line
from one end of the American sector
to the other is about four and half
miles. Actually the length of the
front is about eight miles, due to wide
bends at many points along the line.
That the enemy has found it impos-
sible to force this line back is point
ed to with pride by army officers here.
Pershings men are fighting like vet
erans, is the enthusiastic comment.
