Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Advices
received in Washington to-day state
that the recent disturbance in the
French concession at Tien- Tsin, China,
was caused by an unprovoked attack
upon American soldiers by Japanese
troops. These adv1ces, placing the en-
tire blame for the trouble upon the
Japanese, are expected to be sup
ported by the official report Of the
Investigation now being made by the
United States Legation in Peking.
After receipt of Minister Reinsch' s
report the State Department is ex-
pected to make representations to the
Japanese government, and it is con-
sldered likely that apology, reparation
and the punishment of the offending
Japanese soldiers will be demanded.
Earlier indications following imme-
diately the initial reports of the Tien-
Tsin incident were that it was merely
nese soldiers.
New Light on Situation
Later reports seemed to put the
blame on the American soldiers. Sub
sequently a new light was shed on
lHe SITUATION ana Jne americans dp-
peared as the aggrieved parties who
had simply retaliated for injuries and
humiliations by the Japanese.
American soldiers from the 10th
Regiment were said to have invaded
the Japanese concession at Tien-Tsin,
attacking number Of Japanese, in
cludlng the American consul They
were also reported to have entered the
consulate, destroying some of the fur
niture and injuring a visitor in the
consulate.
There were limitations at first that
the United States was preparing to
make an apology to Japan as soon as
1T received the official report of United
States Consul Heintzleman at Tien
Tsn and Minister Reinsch at Pekinp
1t now appears that Japan may have to
make the apology.

representative Alvan 7. Fuller. of
Massachusetts, describes an interview
with M. Delaney, French Ambassador
to Japan, and attributes to the Ambas-
sador the statement that Japan was
not sincerely pro-Ally, but intended to
support Germany until a Japanese mis-
sion learned how whole -heartedly
America was going into the war.
Mr.. Fuller's remarks, printed under
the privilege accorded members to in
sert in "The Record" speeches not ac
tually delivered on the floor, concerned
primarily abuses of the franking privi-
iegc. Turning from that subject, he
told at length of a visit to Europe
shortly after the armistice was signed.

eventful," he wrote. 81 found among

they were sincerely pro-Ally?'
Ambassador Delaney stated to ME
that the Japanese intended to support
Germany, but after their commission

PHILADELPHIA, March 20.-Ten
thousand Coreans have been killed and
45 900 arrested by Japanese within the
last two days in the demonstrations for
Corean independence, according to a
cablegram from Shanghai which has
just reached DR.. Syngham Rhee, repre-

now in this city
Japan has cut all wire communica-
ton between Corea and the outer
world Couriers smuggled over the
border into China have wired Dr.. Rhee
as follows:
Independence movement at
Seoul, Pyengyang and other cities
increasing. The whole country
seems to be following the movement
including government officials (Cor-
ean) and all religious schools and
institutions. Ten thousand arrested,
10000 killed. Movement growing
daily. Wire to Paris to Kimkynsik
(the Corean representative at the
Peace Conference), who is on his
way there"
$4,000 Are Arrested
Other kilograms giving numbers of
killed and arrested give figures which
place in round numbers the killed at
10000 and those arrested at $4,000.
The kilograms advise that demon
strations have now broken out all over
the country. American missi ionaries,
who until now took no part in the indie
pendence movement in obedience to
instructions from the mission boards
here, cannot longer tolerate the ar
rests and butchery of their flocks and

soldiers, in defense of their flocks.
whose part they are now taking, not
for political reasons, but for human

The Corean movement started as one
of passive resistance to Japanese rule.
Trouble first began during the funeral
of Emperor Yee, who lost his throne
ten years ago and had been imprisoned
in palace by the Japanese.
On Tuesday Corean students of
mission schol paraded to the railroad
station of Pyengyang with national
flags. The Japanese gendarmes
charged them with guns and tried to

their intentions not only of send

of furnishing their own music. This
will be of material help in cutting

Formal public hearings to con-

ban Company of Washington, and
the Georgetown and Tennallytown
Railway Company, will be resumed
February 10. in the Office of Brig.

the Public Utilities Commission.
In view of the fact that the street
railway companies of the District
think they should charge higher
fares, the valuations of the prop
critics may determine the return on
the money actually invested.
Federal courts in several States
have ruled that street car companies
have no right to enforce higher
rates of fares, to pay returns on
outstanding stocks and bonds. but
that they should be allowed to
charge rates which will give them
reasonable returns on money they
have actually invested, less depre-
citation for wornout equipment.

Get MORE PAY

Elevator Jobs May Lure
Learned Women Who
Educate Children.

Public school teachers soon will DO
working as elevator operators in gov
ernment buildings, according to an
announcement made by twelve OF
them yesterday afternoon.
They will resign their positions, the
teachers said yesterday. because the
District pays them but $3.50 yearly for
their present work. while as elevator
operators they will receive N,2oo a
year.
Many teachers who have served the
city schools for years are still receiv-
ing $3.50. principals alone have a rat
ing OF H,2oo.
Pays 800 a Month.
The government will pay $1,000
a year for operators to run eleva-
tors to carry representatives and
senators at the Capitol. but the Dis
trict will only pay them $3.50 to
teach the children of these same
legislators" Mrs. Mary Brennan
1nkster. of the District Teachers
Union, said yesterday. They can't
live on $3.50. and are now having to
do outside work as clerks and stem
ographers to meet their living ex-
penses. If an elevator operator is
more valuable to the country than
a school teacher. they'll take the
elevator jobs.
Conditions in the public schools
as a result of the poor wages paid
to teachers are far worse than the
ordinary person imagines. In one
class in French in the public schools
eleven different teachers have
taught so far this year. And all
have left.
THE salaries of the school teach
ers in the District were last raised
in 1906. The dollar now is worth
about rs cents compared to the dol
lar in 1906. Yet the school teacher
is supposed to get along just the
same"
