JAPAN HAS NOT
 REPLIED TO U. s.
Considering Cooperation With Amer ica in Administration on
 Trans Siberian Railroad.

Tollio, Oct. IS, (By Associated Press) The Japanese government haVlng not yet replied to the Ameri- can note concerning cooperation in the administration of the Trans-Si- berlan railroad, it is understood here that the United States government had dispatched a second note on the subject to Japan
 The American note according to reports, says in effect that the length ot time Japan is taking to reply to the former note indicates the import ance Which the Japanese government attaches to the subject at issue and intlmates the United States complete ly shares this view of the matter The note is said to express satisfaction in the fact that Gen. Oi, commander. of Japanese eXpeditionary forces in Si- beria. has signified his intention to bring aboute cooperation between Japanese and Amercan troops. Nev- ertheless the United States makes it clear that Anne rica is anxious that a definite policy relative to Siberia in cluding the question of the withdraw al of American troops, be announced and in a perfectly friendly tone re- quest Japan to forWa1 d a reply to the original note as soon as convenient.
 Information has been received by the Associated Press that the Japan csc reply will be forthcoming in a few days. Further Investigation seems to indicate that the reason for the delay is the controversy between the mod crates and the extremists and the diff flculty of satisfying the military group in framing a response. It is apparent here that the result of the negotia- tions between America and Japan will determine whether the two coun- tries shall ill future cooperate in solving the Siberian problem or whether America is to pursue an in- dependent policy.

SCHOOL TEACHER ARRESTED
Miss Daisy Livingston, . Teacher
Held for whipping Student

Picher, Okla, Feb. 4.-The trial Of
Miss Daisy Livingston, teacher at
the Whitebird school and who was
arrested late Friday evening, charged
with assaulting one of her pupils,
Miss Beulah Carter, age 1S, and
whipping her beyond reason, will be
brought up before Judge Henderson at
4:3O o'clock today. The charge was
filed by the girls parents, after the
child had been examined by DR.. DOlan,
who recommended the fling Of the
complaint. Miss Livingston Is alleged
to have whipped the child Friday
morning of last week and to have left
marks on her body. g.
This trial is attracting Q great deal
of attention and a determined defense
is being organized BY TIE. defeadsnt,
who. is supported by Superintendent
Davis, the local, school board and
County Superintendent r. M. ROwley;
Following an examination OF the
child Monday by the teachers which
revealed only one bruise, the school
men decided that this is a case which
will decide whether or not teachers
have a right to use corporal punish
ment. It was remarked by the super
intendent, that if Miss Livingston is
guilty as charged, a large majority
of the teachers Of the district are
guilty also. If the right to use cor
poral punishment is denied, the only
recourse teachers viii have is expell-
ing from school. Attorney Clark has
volunteered his service to Miss Liv-
ingston in her defense.

Pres WILSON ADVISES
ROAD CONSTRUCTION

From Good Roads Magazine:

From Good Roads Magazine:
President Wilson favors the earli-
est possible resumption and extension
Of highway construction under the
Federal-Aid Road act and has writ
ten Secretary of Agriculture HOus-
ton to that effect. The Secretary Of
War also has written the Secretary
of Agriculture in favor Of highway
work. The Presidents letter follows:
Dear Mr.. Secretary: 4
/ heartily agree with you that 1t
would be in the public interest TO re-
sumo in full measure the highway
construction operations under the
Federal-Aid Road Act, and to do so %
speedily as possible. ! understand
the necessity which existed for their
contraction during the stress through
which we have been passing, but that
obstacle is now removed. ] believe
that It would be highly desirable TO
have an additional appropriation
made available to the Department OF
Agriculture, to be used In conjunction,
II possible, with any surplus state and
community funds, inorder that these
operations may be extended. Is i'm.
portant not only to develop good high
ways throughout the country as
quickly as possible; but It Is Also at
this time especially. advisable to re:
sunie and extend all such essential
public works, with view to furnish
ing employment for laborers who may
be seeking new tasks during the per-
iod of readjustment.
Knowing that the Department OF
Agriculture and the states highway
authorities have been carefully work
ing out road systems and developing
plans and specifications, have no
doubt that all activities in this field
can be vigorously conducted through
these two sets Of existing agencies,
acting in full accord.
Faithfully yours.
Woodrow Wilson.
The following letter has been re-
ceived from Secretary of War Baker:
NV Dear Mr.. Secretary:
/ am in full agreement with your
view that there should not only be q
prompt resumption Of road construc-
ton under the Federal Aid Road act,
and under such further authority. as
may exist for separate state action:
but also that additional funds should
be made available to your department
for the extension Of such work.
The War Department, as you know,
detailed one of its officers to serve
with your Bureau Of Public Roads in
its consideration of highways which
might have q value for military pur-
poses, and shall be glad to have the
closest possible cooperation continue
as the work enlarges.
Cordially yours,
Newton d. Baker,
Secretary Of War.
