United States Soldiers in
Tien Tsin in China.

Peking, March 17.-While early re-
ports from Tien Tsin suggested that
American marines were TO blame for
the recent disorders there, later re-
ports would seem TO show that the
japanese were also at fault
It is claimed that japanese mill
tary guards entered the French con-
cession and seized two Americans and
when American officials inquired Of
the japanese police authorities, if any
Americans were being detained, they
were given a negative answer. Later
American officials found two Ameri-
cans in a police station, one Of them
lying almost naked in the yard call
ing for water. The japanese were in
duced TO send the injured man to a
hospital and an American consul re-
fused TO leave the station until the
other man, a corporal, had been re-
leased This demand was finally
granted. The American consul was
stoned by japanese as he drove away.

House and Senate has worked out a
good roads constitutional amendment,

to the legislature that it allow the
state to aid in building good roads
and authorizing it to reimburse the
counties for any roads constructed
after March 1, 1919, up to 25 per cent
of the total cost. A further limita-
ton was made that the state aid
should not exceed $4,000 a mile and
for not more than one hundred miles
in any one county except those having
a valuation exceeding 100 million dol
lars, where the state aid might ex-
tend to $50 miles Of roadway.
The proposed amendment has been
signed by all the conferees and is
ready for presentation to both
branches.

KANSANS TO VOTE
ON STATE ROAD AID
Both Houses of the Legislature
Have Adopted Resolution
TO Amend Constitution.
800 BILLS HAVE BEEN KILLED
Considerably More Than Half the Mea-
sures Introduced in the Two
Houses Are Now Dead.

The Kansas Legislature has decided
to submit to the people at the next
election the proposal to change the
constitution that will enable the state
to assist in the building of good roads.
The house and senate both concurred
in the report of the conference COM
mittee of the good roads resolution to
amend the constitution. The house
and senate each passed separate reso-
buttons, the senate simply changing
the present provisions so that the
state could go into the good roads
business without restrictions The
house plan was to limit the amount
of aid. The house won in the confer
ence report. The resolution follows:
1.-THE state shall never be a party
in carrying on any works of internal
improvement except to aid in the con-
structiOn of highways and the REIN
bursement for the cost of permanent
improvements of highways, construct
ed after March 1, 1919, but such aid
and reimbursement shall not be grant
ed in any county for more than 25 per
cent of the cost of such road or high
way, nor for more than $4,000 per
mile, nor for more than one hundred
miles in any one county, except, that
IN counties having an assessed vaIua-
ton Of more than 100 million dollars
such aid and reimbursement may be
granted for not more than one hun
dred and fifty miles of road or high
way; and the restrictions and liInita-
lions Of the constitution, relating to
debts and internal improvements,
shall not be construed to limit the au-
thority retained or conferred by this
amendment"
This makes three resolutions to
amend the constitution to be submit
ted to the voters at the next election.
The amendment to permit the legisla-
ture to classify property for taxation
was adopted some time ago. During
the morning session the senate con-
Cured in the house amendments to
the farm tenant resolution and both
branches agreed to the conference re-
port of the good roads amendment
Eight hundred of the total of 1853
bills introduced in both houses of the
present legislature have been killed,
and the casualty list is growing fast,
ord of the legislators work Gov
ernor Allen has signed LAT new laws
and vetoed one.
The calendars have been cleared OF
original bills. On the house calendar
ia bills thus met their fate and on
the senate calendar 81. The report
shows both houses have passed 168
measures. The agreement to end OPP
erations at 10 o'clock Tuesday night
and adjourn sine die Friday still
stands.
Among the bills rescued in the final
hours of consideration of the houses
own bills was Governor Aliens latest
creation, the bill to establish a state
real estate board.
Indignation ran high in the house
of representatives when it had under
consideration the action of the senate
cutting the houses soldier welcome
fund from $4,000 to $4,000. The SEN
ators were excoriated as a "chep pen
ny-ante gang" by Representative Pr
per- The house refused to accept the
change and the bill was sent to con-
ference.
