CITY is URGED TO
CHANGE PUMPING PLANT

MAYOR Gentry has received the fol-
lowing copy of letter from the
state Public Service Commission to
the Washington Water Power Co.:
"Gentlemen:-In our general
order fixing rates for your company,
we allowed the old rates as to the
pullman pumping plant to stand, re-
ouesting, however, that the installa-
tion there should be changed within
a reasonable length of time.
1--WE shall not extend that time be-
vond April /, 1920, consequently we
trust such modification of the plant
he made so that our general rate
order will apply.
Similarly we will not extend be-
yond April /, 1920, the concessions
made in our general order regard
ing bulk elevator rates.
"E. F.. BLAINE.
Chairman. -
The disposition of the council is to
stand by it's contention that the Pub
lie Service Commission has no power
TO change the rates fixed in the
franchise which was granted prior to
the creation of the commission, and
the matter will probably be taken
into court before any notifications
in the pumping plant are made

PARIS, Saturday, April 5-(By the Associated Press s)-Nucaton of the twenty-one demands made by Japan early in 1915 is urged by the Chinese government official statement cabed from Picking and received by the Japanese peace delegation today
 The Peking statement declares that the Japanese treaties and terms forced upon China in 1915 should be abrogated because their terms incompatible with the principles upon which the League of Nations IS founded The statement is largely in reply to recent statement
 made by Baron Makno of the Japanese delegation the position of Japan.
 'Since the Japanese delegate in Paris, the Chinese declare, has pontedly referred. to the twentyone de mands it is incumbent upon the Chinese government to draw attention to the fact that Chnas acquescence to terms subversive to her interests secured by of utmatum to which she forced to surren der because of the preocupaon of the rest of the world in the European
 'It is fact that the terms imposed upon China at the point of the bayonet the example followed being that of Prussia the extension of nnetyn years of the lease of Port Arthur and South Manchurian railways sessions being precisely the German Shantung terms.
 ''In subsequent agreement secured by Japan under the former cabinet the principles followed have been equally dangerous, not only to Chlnas liberty of acon but to her very independence"
 The statement says that the claim of Japan to special privileges because the Japanese expelled the Germans from Shantung contrasts oddly with the failure of the Americans claim the railroads and mines of France a though the Germans expelled from Alsace and Lor raine by the cooperation of the American army It says that the American army of 100000 lost than sixty times the number of lives that Japan claims she lost
 SngTao The statement also comments the fact that England is not asking Belgium for single concession al though Flanders lis vast cemetery where English sol ders are buried"
 Improved modern news distribution in China, the statement continues keeps the Chinese fully advised of daily happenings throughout the world and rredentsm already raising its head only in Korea but through out Manchuria and Shantung well, foreign issues cupyng almost exclusive attention to the detrment of domestic advancement
