The highways have enhanced land
values wherever they have been built.
Farm lands contiguous to improved
roads have increased In value from ten
dollars an acre to thirty dollars an
acre. In New York state. between 1890
and 1900. the decrease In farm values
was approximately eighty million dol
lars. The United States census shows
that between 1900 and 1910 there was
an increase along improved roads In
New York state of l,57SO0O when
only s3s, 200, GOO had been spent for i'm
provement. This pertains only TO rural
districts. The increase In value of land
adjacent to cities and towns is ap-
parent as son as highways are i'm
proved. In some parts OF Westchester
county, which is Just north of New
York City, land values along improved
roads have gone up two hundred per
cent within a year after the road was
built.
They have encouraged travel. The
census OF foreign cars those from 9TH
er states, taken in New York state in
August. 1917, shows 1856 foreign cars
in and out of our state daily on four
routes. This average would hold up
thru July. August, and September.
e., ninety days. which, multiplied by
97S cars (one-half of those in and out)
would give 5000 cars during the sea-
son on these four connections. Allow
ing an average of four passengers to a
car, this would mean 352.0S0 persons
coming into the state. At an expendi-
ture of IS a day apiece--too little as
any tourist knows-that would mean
yearly gross income to the state Of
TO4l,6o0 for an average stay Of four
days. There are nineteen other routes,

DISORDERS IN KOREA
One Hundred Thousand Natives
PreCipitate Riots.
Many Casualties Result From Severe
Fighting and Government Sends
Reinforcements.

Seoul, April 1.-Serious disorders
nave occurred at Samga, village in
southeastern Korea, according to dis
patches received here.
1t is said that Koreans numbering
100000 gathered at Samga, cut tele-
graph wires and set fire to the town
hall. Members of the mob ara reported
to have attacked the postoffce and
police stations. There was severe
fighting and many casualties. SIong
reinforcements have been cent TO
Samga.
NJ. Hishmidz, chief representative
here of the Japanese Department of
Foreign Affairs, deprecates in the
course of a statement rumors that
foreigners have participated in the
riots, and asks consuls to warn their
nationals not to approach scenes OF
rioting because of the danger of their
actions being misunderstood The
recent insinuation that Ransford S.
Miller, American consul general, was
implicated in disorders in this city
was a gross injustice, he pointed out,
and resulted from Mr. Miller motoring
past a point where demonstration
was going on.

20 PER CENT HIGHER
Domestic Telegraph Rates Are
Ordered Increased.
Postmaster General Burieson Says
Step Is Necessary to Meet
Raise i'm Wages.

Washington, April POSTMASTER
General Burleson has announced an in
crease of 20 per cent in domestic tele-
graph rates, effective April /.
The increase was agreed upon at a
meeting of the Federal Wire board
and was made necessary, Mr.. Burle-
sons announcement said, ito meet the
increased cost of operation occasioned
by wage increases now in effect, made
during the past year"
Mr.. Burleson added that the advance
would be barely sufficient" for this
purpose.
The order affects both government
and commercial messages, but it was
announced that there would be no in
crease in special press rates for news
papers or in charges for special wires
leased by press associations and news
papers.
Under the order, however, CONNER
cial and government leased wires will
be charged for at an advance of 20
per cent over existing rates whether
such wires be furnished by telegraph
or telephone system under govern.
ment control.

State Department Starts Inquiry
of Reported Mexican Con-
Cession to Japan.
ASKS SPEEDY REPORT
Tract Developed by Americans Is In
volved, Holdings Being Confiscated
by Revolutlonists-Japs Have
Long Sought Foothold.

Washington, April 1.-The Ameri-
can embassy at Mexico City has been
instructed by the state der Iartment to
make inquiries regarding the report
that the Mexican government has
granted agricultural concessions to
Japanese in Lower California and to
report the facts as quickly as possible.
No official information has reached
the department about concessions, and
surprise was occasioned by the dis
patch from Mexico City quoting Gen.
eral Aado Aguirre, undersecretary of
development and agriculture, as saying
they had been granted.
Claimed by Americans.
The American government is inter-
ested both because of the apparent
success of Japanese in obtaining a
long sought foothold in Lower Cali
fornia, and because the tract OF land
involved was developed and Is claimed
by an American company whose rights
were declared forfeited by the Mexi-
can government in 1917.
The department was unable to de-
termine as yet whether the land was
the same as that to be sold two weeks
ago by the California and Mexican
Land company to Japanese interests,
whether the concession had actually
been made or report of it merely sent
out as a 'feeler."
Mexican Envoy Asks Word.
Mexican Ambassador Bonillas has
no advices regarding reported negotia-
tions, but has asked Mexico City for
information. 1t is known here that
the Mexican view is that the transfer
of the property to Japanese citizens
or companies is not ia violation of the
Monroe doctrine. The Mexicans point
to the increasing Japanese interest in
all South American and Central Amer
ican coats and particularly the recent
announced Brazilian concession to
Japan-as grounds for such action.
Ambassador Ishii declined to dis
cuss the reported deal. The Japanese,
it is learned in diplomatic quarters,
hold that the Japanese transactions In
Latin America are purely commercial
and can be given no political signifi
canoe.
The state department declared to
day it has heard nothing from the Cali
fornia and Mexican Land company oi
Los Angeles, since it virtually warned
that company against selling Lower
California land to the Japanese two
weeks ago.

Allies Are Said to Be Determined
Upon Securing Use of
Baltic Port.
ARRANCESCONFER
Marshal Foch Is Reported to Have
Invited Germany to Send Dele
gates to Spa for Purpose
of Settling Difficulty.

London, April 1.-Germany
has been invited t. seTd delegates
with all speed to Spa to meet
Marshal Focn concerning the
Danzig difficulty. This announce
ment is made in a Copenhagen
dispatch to the Central News.
Paris. April 1.-The Temps says
that the Allied and associated govern.
ments seem 20 have decided to disre-
gard the German objections concern
ing Danzig and to land, by force if nec-
essary, Polish troops at this Baltic
sea port.
But this move, says the Temps,
would not necessarily imply in the
mind of the Allies, the union of Danzig
to Poland. The. newspaper adds that
concerning the question of the Polish
frontier the Allied governments seem
inclined to create about Danzig a neu-
trail state, in order to avoid attaching
this part of the coast either to Ger
many or to Poland.
Hungary offers Alliance.
Copenhagen, April 1.-The Vienna
Volks Zeitungs budapest correspond
ent says the Hungarian government
has offered to ally itself with the Ger
man government against the Entente,
according to a dispatch received here.
A telegram of the Wolff bureau
says, however, that nothing is known
in official quarters in Berlin concern
ing such an offer. Communist troops
invaded German West Hungary, but
we're repulsed after several conflicts
with the inhabitants, according to a
dispatch from Berlin quoting the Vos-
sische Zeitung as stating that depu-
tation from West Hungary arrived in
Vienna to report to Secretary of State
Bauer concerning the invasion. Many
houses were plundered and burned.
Hungary Quiet, but Hungry.
Paris, April 1.-Advices received
from Captain Thomas c. Gregory, of
the United States Food Administration
at Triest, are to the effect that quiet
prevails in Hungary and that the re
ceipt of food supplies might prevent

ed to insubordination, Tanaka replied
he understood the orders of General
Otani, Allied commander in that re-
gion, are effective only when consist
ent with the principles OF Americas
national policies. The American atti-
tude, he said, probably was due to a
difference between the Americans and
Japanese as to what constitutes boil
shevism.

Declares Himself in Favor OF
Covenant if Several Amend
ments Are Made.
OFFERS SIX CHANGES
Desires Clauses for Arbitration and
Limitation of Armaments and to
Protect American Continent
From Outside interference.

New York, April 1.-Elihu Root
declared himself an advocate of the
league of nations covenant made pub
lie by the Peace conference, providing
ii is amended, primarily, by writing
enforcement clauses into the articles
calling for arbitration and Limitation
of ornaments, by restricting to five
years the unanimous guaranty Of the
present political and territorial status
of members and by protecting from
non-American interference the affairs
of the American continents.
He made his approval contingent
also upon amendments assuring peri
odic revision of international law and
a general redrafting of the covenant in
an atmosphere removed by several
years from the issues attendant upon
the settlement of a world war.
Would Revive Withdrawal Rights.
To dispel doubt as to the right of
withdrawal from the league, he IA
vored specific revision of this privi
lege to any signatory, coincident with
or after the proposed redrafting con.
ference.
If these changes could be made, the
former secretary of state asserted, 1t
would be the clear duty" OF the
United States to enter into the league
agreement, in keeping with what he
termed apparent general desire of the
American public that the country do
its full share toward the establishment
of an effective international organiza-
tion to preserve the peace of the
world"
Mr.. Root reviewed the league prof.
ect and proposed his amendments, six
in number, in letter to Will III. Hays,
chairman of the Republican National
committee, which the latter gave out
for publication. The discussion was
in response to a request by the party
leaders, who advised the former cabi-
net member and senator that citizens
in the Republican ranks determined
to do all that can possibly be done
toward the maintenance of peace with
out sacrificing our own supreme ma
tionalism" and seeking "the best judg-
ment" to aid them in reaching a con-
clusion, would appreciate a study of
the covenant from Mr.. Root.
Mr.. Root proposed that the Monroe
Doctrine-"The United States tradi-
tional attitude toward purely American
| questions" be withdrawn from "de.
cisions or recommendations of other
powers" in a paragraph inserted in
| the league constitution Immediately
before the signature of the American
delegates. He based this suggestion
upon Americas contemplated entrance
| into the league, not because of any
need of Old World aid in preserving
peace in the western hemisphere, but
in compliance with the request OF
| the "peaceable nations" of Europe that
| the United States place its power and
! influence behind theirs to lessen the
possibility of wars ''in their part oi
| the world"
