 LAND FOR U.

OFFICIALS DENY THAT SECRET TREATY WITH
 CHINA EXISTS HERE

Washington, April 10.~-Denial was made today by a state department of ficial of q Japanese press report as- serting that secret treaty existed between the United States 7, and China. An. exhaustive search was made of the files of the department for such treaty and it was said none was found.
 According to the Japanese press report, which demanded that this al- legged treaty be made public, if the secret treaties between China and Japan were pushed, the agreement was entered into between the Unit ed States and the late emperor kuang Hsu, and provided that the United States be permitted to build warships at dock yards on the Chinese coast These vessels, said the report, were to be transferred to China under the guise of scales and were to be manned by Chinese under American officers as instructors.
 The search instituted at the de- partment revealed only that an agree ment had been made many years ago permitting Americans to build yes sels for China trade at Chinese dock yards. This agreement it was said, had never been taken advantage of, and had lapsed long ago by limita- tion. It was emphasized that this agreement was in no way secret as the provisions of it were generally known at the time it was made.

PIG CLUBS BRING 10000 REGISTERED
 PIGS INTO STATE

Fayetteville, Ark, April 12.-(Spec- iaD-Approximately 10000 regis tered pigs have been brought into Arkansas through pig clubs accord state boys and girls pig club agent of the Agricultural extension divis- ion, University of Arkansas. The pig club work has stimulated swine production in the state, has created demand for registered pigs and in general has established one breed of hogs to the county so that the coun- ties are coming to be known as Duroc or Poland China counties says Mir. Whitaker.
 Not only has the club work stimu- lated the swine industry, but it has caused many breeders who were careless and going along in haphaz- ard way to get their pigs registered and buy better foundation stock. As result, hog breeders are now pay ing as much as $l,000 a head and even more in some instances for swine for breeding purposes.
 The bankers of the state have if nanccd the club members in the bet ter hog production campaign and of fered scholarships and prizes to the winners in state and county contests. As direct result, it is said, there are more than 1000 boys and girls of Arkansas enrolled in pig clubs and the value of their annual pro- duction of hogs is estimated at $15O,- 900.
 So great has become the interest in better hog production that not only have the swine growelS and club members entered enthusiastically in- to the work, but church congrega- tion in Randolph county during the past year paid off their church debt of $3500 through pig club work. County agents generally over the state that the better movement in their counties can be traced directly to pig club work. Three years ago the breeders of the state could rot SUD- ply the demand for registered pigs and orders had to be placed in other states it is said. Now the farmers of Arkansas claim that they can fill any order.

Budapest, Thursday, April 1O.-

Budapest, Thursday, April 1O- (By The Associated Press.)-The election in Hungary for the creation of soviet councils passed off without reported incidents, soviet organiza- tions being formed in the country dis tricts by means of this balloting. The whole proces was carried out under coercion of the red army, with the majority of the voters in many places appearing to know why they were voting.
 Notwithstanding the desperate ear ncstness of the communists, outsiders HOW in Hungary are still inclined to take the economic view of the experi- ment which they feel will not develop into a lasting success, although whether conditions will become worse before they grow better, is debat- able question.
 Curious tales are told concerning the new government ministers who are so unaccustomed to performing official duties that they are ready to accede to almost any kind of re- quest to obligc foreigners and show good will.
 The work of organizing the country is being feverishly continued. The central feature of the plan is to apply the trust idea to all indus tries, putting each group of factor les-teNtiles, glassware, hardware, etc.-under one expert who is made responsible for it's operations.
 SOcializc Clubs.
 All the clubs and fashionable ex- elusive resorts have been socialized, including the park club, the jockey club has been converted into labor CTS home and the splendid race course, which cost years time and $5,000,000 to make, is being plowed up for potatoes.
 There is an organization of women's red guards functioning now but it's 100 members are occupying them selves, for the most part with propa- ganda work. Many of the aristo- cratic women of the city have been reduced to want Baronness Schoss- berger once having property worth $l 100000 or more, now is playing harp in cheap restaurant for her food.
 Eleven of the palaces have been converted into resorts for working mems societies and clubs. Madame Margaret Karolyi, the widow of Stephen Karolyi, is living in two rooms of her palace, the remainder is occupied by society of photograph CTS.
 Count Andrew Tachoni lives in two rooms of his paface with a club of hotel cooks occupying the rest of his home. Red guards are living in Arch duke ,Ioseph's palace, opposite the royal castle, while a musicians club occupies the palace of Count Nemes.
 Respect Americans.
 A leading fashionable hotel was originally designated by the red guard as barracks and the guests were notified to quit within few hours. When Bella Kun, the communist lead CT, was informed of what was going on he remarked irritably, from the bed in which he was reposing "what do care?"
 But the American mission is liv. ing there," his informant exclaimed.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

1t is regrettable that the congress has decided to abandon
the repeal of the socalled daylight saving law" which wa:
enacted as a war measure, and accepted with the conplaceney
that characterized the attitude of the people toward any policy
that carried with il a suggestion of patriotism.
No good resulted from the law. No time or light or sub
stance or any other thing was saved. The farmers of the coun-
try are universally opposed to the law. Farm operations are
controlled by natural law, and it has been proven conclusively
that it cannot be adjusted to this special piece OF legislation.
The effect of the law has been to divide the country and
the city, each with its own time, and to the inconvenience OF
both, with the exception Of the few who can use the extra
hour on the golf links.
In many places the people are changing the hours OF opera
ton to conform to the "old time" For example, some OF the
churches are beginning services at IL o'clock instead OF IL, and
banks are opened at 10, instead OF 9 o'clock, and continuing open
an hour later. Schools and colleges in some places have changed
their hour for opening, but this results for the most part III addf-
tional confusion, instead Of simplifying matters.
When the bill for repeal was up for consideration the vote
to repeal was 232 for and 122 against, and the conference report
on the agricultural appropriation bill, containing the repeal pro
vision, passed without a dissenting vote. The vote to pass the
bill over the presidents veto secured almost a two-thirds VOTE
or 2H to l35. This is sufficient to indicate that the members
of the congress are familiar with the sentiment OF the people on
this subject, and faithfully carried out their wishes. 1t is tnfor"
tunate that the president did not interpret the will OF the people
in this matter with the insight that usually character'zes his
conclusions.

PLACING RESPONSIBILITY

That the race riots in Washington are the direct result OF
the notification OF the fourteenth and fifteenth amendents to
the federal constitution is the explanation offered by the New
York Sun for the outbreaks in Washington, provoked, according
TO the dispatches, by repeated assaults of negroes upon white
women.
After a seance Of murder. assassination, assault and riot in
Chicago, the dispatches state that the negroes, some with bag
gage and some without, are returning to Memphis and Nashville
as rapidly as they can secure the. price OF transportation, notwith-
standing the unexceled opportunity for social equality in the
s~tockyards metropolis, and despite the additional fact that things
are pretty much the same in those two Southern cities as they
were when the hegira to the North took place some months ago.
1t is to be hoped that the Sun, the Tribune and other authori-
ties will not abandon their propaganda to secure the observance
OF the constitution in Mississippi, in order that there may not be
a repetition OF the race riots in Washington, Chicago, East St,
Louis and other Northern and Western cities. where the feeling
against the Southern whites is SO strong that they are impeled
to give it expression by assaults upon Northern negroes.
Unless the Southern representation in congress is reduced to
conform to the actual number Of white voters, t is likely that the
massacre will continue indefinitely in the North, and the South,
according to the Northern process Of reasoning, will be compelled
to bear all the responsibility.

Alleging that the Memphis Gas and
Electric company preached a contract

ment prices, the Williams Coal company
late Wednesday filed suit in the circuit
court, asking damages In the sum Of

the German government, until March
81, 1918. The prices were those fixed
by the fuel administration authorized
by the congress.
The mining company declares that
on Feb. /, 1919, the date the fuel admiA,
istration ceased and the price Of coal
changed from a government or fixed
price and reverted to the law of sup
