undivided authority over the railroad
was said by a member Of the Chinese
delegation after the meeting. still to
he firm. No limitation was given
NV the Japanese as to whether they
vould be willing to recede from their
demand for joint control.
The Japanese advanced their pro-
position that the railroad should be
onerated as a joint Chino japanese
enterprise, believing this to embody
conciliation, since Germany, whose
lights Japan contends she has in
herited, had controlled the line en-
tirelyy.
p Koo in order he said, to set at

satisfactory adjustment of the Shan

1T is needless for us to assure you
that Japan is eagerly looking for
ward to an early settlement Of this
long pending controversy. We may
add that it is the desire of the Jap

misunderstanding between China and
japan in order that these two neigh
boring nations of the Far East may
live in future in perfect harmony.
and we have no doubt that this
sentiment is fully shared by our
Chinese friends. n.

Touchdown By Boyce in First
Quarter Completes Scoring !,
in Fridays Game Il
JUVENILE BAND AIDS =
IN FURNISHING "PEP''
Hard Practice Ahead for Game
With Park Rapids Eleven g.
Here Next Friday

y Bemidji high school added another
victory to it's record when the local
grldiron squad defeated Grand hap
IDS high school here Friday AFTER
noon by score of toO. A large
attendance witnessed the second
game in which Bemidji has played
this wear on home grounds. The Juve-
nile band met the visiting team at
the station and escorted the crowd
to the fair grounds. A number OF Sc
lections were played during the game
which added pep to the. contest.
Grand Rapids won the toss and de-
Tended the west goal. BemldJl klcked
oil to Right Half Miller on the Grand
Rapids lO-yard line. Miller returned
the ball about 20 yards, where Be-
midi took it after four downs. On
the next play Neumann made IL
yards, and after series OF line
plunges, the ball was carried to Be-
mldjls 8-yard line. Boyce went over
for touchdown on line smash
through the Grand Rapids right side
of line. Davis missed goal.
The remainder of the first quarter
{ ana Ol C1le Sdlllc saw IliC Do1A 0SS
sawed back and forth, little head
way being made by either side. In the
second half the ball was in Bemidji
territory most of the time and once
Grand Rapids got within Is yards
of the goal, but lost the ball on the
fourth down.
Bemidji's forward passing proved
. to be very poorly played, but the
line put up stiff game. The visitors
offense was good and their forward
passing worked well. ~1s> :.
Coach Smith plans to correct the
errors in the team before next Fri
day when it is expected that Park
Rapids will play the locals here. Park
Rapids defeated Blackjack IS to 6,
and this indicates that Bemidji must
put up a better game than that play
ed Friday if it intends to beat the
Hubbard county squad.
The common sentiment of local
fans who saw the game is that they
are glad that Bemidji defeated Grand
Rapids, but they are not satisfied
with the brand Of football displayed,
believing that the score for Bemidji
would have been much larger if they
had put up the same class of game
which they had been playing before.
The lineup follows: .

AUTOMATIC POSTAGE
METER is The LATEST
(By United Press)

Washington, Oct. 15.-Thanks to
a new automatic postage meter
which post offices in the large indus,
trial towns have ready for hlre, ana
YOU may mail thousand letters
without stamps as soon as you like
to rent the machine. :,
The meter looks like small mana
safe, stands about twelve inches nlgh
and has an inside mechanism which
provides for a stamping pad which
dates the letters and cancels the
stamp. You hire your machine and
take it away from the post office,
enlarged up'' to frank a thousand
letters. All your mail clerk has to 40
is to slip the envelopes through the
foot of the machine, press button
and presto-out they come, all dated
and franked, ready to be put aboard
the train. When the thousand regis
ter shows on the machine, the post
office rewinds it for fresh thousand
rankings with a special key.
Several New York firms have
adopted the machine since its very
recent appearance--it has only been
few weeks since the post office
adopted the invention.

men were killed and two seriously
wounded in a gun battle between
railroad and police officers and a
band of alleged box car thieves when
officers attempted to search the home
of W. A. Bennett, four miles north

The dead are Robert M. Murray OF

of the alleged bandits. The wounded
are Elmer Lane, deputy marshal, and

RAILROAD HEADS AMAZE
OFFICIAL WASHINGTON
Executives of Leading Roads
Insist ON Cut in Wages
Before Cut in Rates
(By United Press)

Washington, Oct. Is. $3.50 Official
Washington was amazed today at the
apparently changed attitude of the
railroad executives, who, following 4
conference at Chicago of the. labor
leaders, announced that they would
insist on wage reductions before any
cuts in rates.
The amazement grew out of the
fact that when here last week the
executives created the impression
that if they did not actually give the
promise that they would put forward
rate reductions at the same time they
asked wage cuts.
President Harding, Senator Cum
minrs and other congressional lead
ers held this view of the matter
The new position Of the executives
makes the situation extremely serl-
Gus, it is felt here.
In some quarters the action of the
executives was held to be a move to
force the government to- accede to
their demands that the Railroad La
Dor Board be consolidated with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
The railroads decided this in order
that the wage reduction ordered
some time ago by the board may be
enforced without a strike. The rail
road employees are now on the verge
of striking because of these rcduc-
tionS

ALTON PACKARD TAKES
WELL ON LYCEUN COURSE
II u m orous Cartoonist and
Noted Lecturer Keeps Audi
ence Highly Entertained

A well filled house greeted Alton
Packard, the humorous cartoonlst ana
lecturer, who appeared in the Meth
odist church Friday evening under the
AUSPICES of the Woman's Study club,
as the first number Of their Lyceum
course. =,
For an hour and half he kept the
audience highly entertained. Ills
creations with chalk were exception
ally clever, and the pictures of Uncle
Sans children were so true to lie,
that when he took the. part OF the
eastern census enumeration and ad-
dressed the Arkansas mountaineer, he
had drawn on the screen, one could
readily believe that the picture spoke,
the monologue was that true to ire.
From the humorous characters he de-
pictcd, to the scenes of childhood ana
nature, he proved himself a master
of his art.
He sang a number of humorous Sc
Ilections of his own composition, play
inc his own accompaniment. and Kept
the audience both amused and enter
tanned.
In closing, he drew an artistic scene
of the sunset of nature, the old farm
home, and the setting sun illuminating
the old man and woman as they came
down the pathway hand in hand, and
in a burst of eloquence compared 1t
to the sunset of life, reciting one OF
James Whitcomb Riley's poems,
interviewer into the levity OF the
evening, he impressed his hearers
with the fact that he was MISSION
arv for the cause of right living.
Those who attended were highly
pleased with the entertainment, and
felt more than repaid for having been
present.
