Kahn Indorses
Transit Plan as
Benefit to City
First Fair Minded, Workable
Traction Remedy Offered,
He Says, and Two Other
Financiers Agree i'll View
Hylan Idea Is Ridiculed
Injury Seen i'll Scrapping
Surface Lines; More Cars
on Harlem Road Ordered

Otto II. Kahn, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
yesterday indorsed the preliminary
plan of the Transit Commission as the
first fair-minded, intelligent, construc-
tive and workable plan that has ever
been brought TO bear upon the traction
situation in New York.
His approval was the second to come
from financial institutions representing
large blocks Of traction securities. 1t
followed that voiced on Tuesday by
Dwight w. Morrow, of j. P. Morgan e.
Co. Mr. Kahn's firm, together with
kldder, Peabody & Co., represents hold
ers of s43,ooo,ooo of Brooklyn Rapid
transit Company notes.
Soundness of Plan Praised
Il think it is an exceedingly sound
plan in it's fundamental outline" said
the financier.
Nevertheless, he coupled his accord
with m notifications, which were regarded
by. the commission as worthy of con-
slderation. These dealt with the cues
tlon OF valuations, the substantially Of
security behind the proposed new finan-
cial structure and the method of pro
vldlng working capital
Two other allies were enlisted for
the plan at yesterdays hearing. Thev
were John Gambler Cobb, chairman Of
committee representing holders Of
S20,OO0,0O0 of New York Railways Com
pany per cent income bonds and
George C. Warren, vice president of
the Columbia Trust Company. Mr..
Warren is associated with committees
representing holders Of Columbus Ave
nue. and Ninth Avenue first MORTGAGE
bonds, Atlantic Avenue Railway first
mortgage bonds, Broadway and Sew
enth Avenue stock and Second Avenue
Railroad receivers certificates.
With these additional Endorsements.
1t was apparent to the commission that
investors did, not have the same mis-
givings as the operating authorities
who have criticized features Of the
plan. The spokcsmen yesterday had no
fault to find with the much assailed
board of control, agreed that the cty's
investment should be on parity with
that of private investors, favored com
mon ownership and approved in detail
the physical unification scheme
Demand for More Cars
Clarence J. Shearn, special counsel
of the commission, provided mild SEN
sation at yesterdays hearing when he
requested that the New York g. Harlem
Railroad Company be made TO show
cause within twenty-four hours WHY it
should not place more cars on its Madi-
son Avenue line. The examiner charged
that cars were being held in barns to

day, were active again to-day, and
more than thousand of them marched
up to the Central Coal and Coke Com

man, however, there was little excite

more than a mile long.
The non-st1iking miners, several
thousand in number, originally went
out on the volunteer strike called in
the Kansas district when Alexander
Howat and August Dorchy. former
president and vice-president of the
Kansas district, were sent to Jail for
six months each for violating the State
Industrial Court law by calling strikes.
Later the Howat administration was
deposed by the international union Off
cials, who ordered the striking miners
back to work. The women demonstrate
ors and wives and relatives of those
miners so far have refused to obey
the international's edict and are sup
porting the Howat organization, which

Want Treaties Abrogated on
Ground They Give Japan
Virtual Sovereignty and
Violate Open Door Policy
Day of Hearing Indefinite
Committee Takes Recess to
Hasten Naval Settlement
and Shantung Agreement
By Thomas Steep

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The famous
twenty-one demands imposed on China
by Japan within six months after the
World War began in Europe were
placed before the Conference on Lini
tation of Armament committee on Pa
cific and Far Eastern questions TODAY
by the Chinese delegates, with the plea
that they be abrogated. As Japan's
leaseholds on Port Arthur, Dairen, the
South Manchurian Railway and other
special interests" in Manchuria and
Mongolia were obtained under treaties
based on the demands, the request Of
China suddenly developed an issue
equal in Importance to the Shantung
controversy.
AT the suggestion of Secretary
Hughes the session was adjourned as
soon as a hearing on the demands was
asked. The explanation was made that
an indefinite recess would be taken to
give the delegates an opportunity to
settle the naval ratio, the Shantung
controversy and other problems before
new business is considered. Among the
Chinese the question arose whether the
eight other powers would discuss che
demands, in view of their decision that
the Shantung controversy, which also
involves Japan's Special interests"
should be settled by negotiations
directly between the Japanese and
Chinese delegates. Another factor is
Japan's claim that her Especial inter
ests" were sanctioned by America in
the Lansing-Ishii notes OF 1917.
Against Direct Negotiations
series of treaties and notes ex-
changed between China and Japan, as
a result of the twenty-one points, was
presented by DR.. Wang Chung Hui,
Chief Justice of the Chinese Supreme
Court. It was indicated that China
would not consent to any adjustment
Of the demands by direct negotiations,
as in the case of Shantung. The Chief
Justice was prepared to show that the
demands properly belonged in the con-
ference agenda as "a discernible source
of controversy likely to disturb the
peace of the Far East"
Chna's contention is that the de-
mands were imposed under duress. and,
Is, 1915, the Japanese Minister at rek-
ing handed to Yuan Shi-Kai, then
President Of China, five groups Of dc
mands, or twenty one in all, which
gave Japan position of quasi-sover-
eighty over China; that the presenta-
ton was kept secret from the Euro
pean powers, that existence of the de-
mands was denied by the Japanese
