Irregularity Charged.
Chicago, April discharges OF
irregularity in docketing wage

against limiting the length of pre-

Japan says, that If a decision in
favor Of the exclusion of the
island of Yap-a question OF
grave concern to Japan and one
on which the japanese delegation
invariably maintained a firm atti-

is implied by the argument of the
United States government, at the
meeting of (the supreme council)

was not represented, 1t could not
but have been regarded as an act
of entirely bad faith"
1t was to this note that Secre-
tary Hughes replied April 5, at
the same time sending similar
notes to the government of Great
Britain, France and Italy. He de-
clared that the United States was
unable to agree with Japan's con-
tention that in order to maintain
its position It would have Ito
prove" not only that President
Wilson made reservations regard
ing Yap, but also that the supreme
council adopted those views.
LAS no treaty has ever been
concluded with the United States
relating to the island Of Yap, Mr..
Hughes added, land as no one has
ever been authorized to cede or
surrender the right or interest of
the United States in the island,

Americans Too
Indifferent Says
Doctor Dubach

Indifference to what happens as
long as it doesn't happen to him
individually, is the greater fault
of the American concerning home
and foreign politics as seen and
expressed by DR.. U. G. Duback,
head of the political science de-
partment of Oregon Agricultural
college in a speech delivered to Sa-
lem business men at their lunch
con in the Commercial club this
noon.
DIR. Dubach said that in spite Of
our indifference to the revolution
in Russia, the famine in China
and thee arelessness with which
American business handled the
trade relations between this coun-
try and South America, these
events and their outcome wouiG
closely effect our prosperity as a
nation and as Individuals
Following DR.. Dubach, B. H.
Jones, field secretary for the emma
relief campaign, made a short talk
on the conditions in China, stating
that 10000 people were dying of
hunger every day, and reviewing
the cause of the famine from the
great flood in 1919 previous to the
disasterous drought Of the last
two years.
Dosey B. Smith, Of the Portland
Travel Bureau, spoke briefly on
the tourist question and what ef-
forts he was goingto make to bring
strangers to Salem this summer
providing that Salem provided
a way Of entertaining them while
they were here.

Periodical Revival
OF Buried Treasure

Kinsman. Kansas.-The farm of
John Ford in the southern part OF this
county is tho site OF q buried treasure
mystery which Is periodically revived
by persons who go there seeking
chest containing $4,000 in gold.
Tho story is still fresh In the minds
OF the older settlers here. many Of
whom say they believe the chest occu-
pies the cache where It was secreted
fifty years ago by an army paymaster
when he and his detail were attacked
by Commanche Indians and later
killed. The paymaster and his men
were enroute to an army post to pay
the soldiers.
They are supposed to have been
camped near two big springs on the
Ford farm when the attack was made.
Both springs were we'll known stop
ping places in the day Of the prairie
schooner and cattle trail and 1t is to
them the present day treasure seekers
go in their quest OF fortune. The in
formation OF all seems to agree on ono
point-that the gold was buried near
the springs but each person jas a diff
ferent report as to tho exact location.
Years ago many Indians went there

would be suffering from the rarehed

such an extent that further progress
would be impossible.
Judging by what we know of the
diminution of the ascensional rate OF
strong climbers above 1900 feet, IL
would seem doubtful whether 1t would
be possible to ascend moro than 100
or $50 feet an hour above 2T 900 or 2S. 900
feet And moreover, these figures arc
based on the supposition that the paTty

DR.. Jacob Guillarmo. who has already
ascended to some of the highest alti-
tudes in tho Himalayas. including K-2
or Mount Goodwin Austen, and Kun

Press correspondent from Lausanne
that like Mr.. Montagnicr. he does not
believe the first expedition Will reach
the summit OF Mt. Everest. He says:
There is no doubt We shall arrive
on the summit of the world and per-
haps sooner than we think IL one un-
dertakes the expedition in the right
way. The first thing to do is to gather
the best cola borators in every coun-
try and not to confne the affair to n
small clan who, nltho animated with
the best intentions. may perhaps not
have the best means or experience.
You ask mo II Swiss guides will be
employed in the expedition. ! do not
know and I do not think anybody but
the English climbers will be employed
and this is precisely one of tho causes
of the inferiorty in which this exped-
ition will start.
Besides 1t will bo very interesting

The storm was not OF such long

good and was too bad for travel.
Trains were not much delayed
Friday and the up train was about
