n.nety-nine year lease, and on the
Oath Of that month the cession was
ratified.
On March 3 Of the same year Rus
sia demanded of China a ninety-nine-
ear lease of Port Arthur and Talien-
wan. A twenty-tive-year lease was
granted, in which, however, China re-
tanned her sovereign rights.
On May $3.50 promptly did the for
eign avalanche descend upon China
Great Britain occupied Weihaiwei,
and on July 1 a convention of cession
was signed.
On March a, 1900, similar lease of
ninety-nine years of Kwangchau-
wang to France was reported.
1t was in these circumstances, when
China was in the process of rapid
partition into spheres of interest" and
spheres of influence" which threat
ened the complete dismemberment of
the empire, that the American Secre-
tary of State, John Hay, recalling the
fact that the United States possessed
certain treaty rights with China which
these encroachments were rendering of
no value, deemed it fitting occasion
to defend those rights, and in doing so
added to the traditional foreign poll
icies of the United States the Golden
Rule and the Monroe Doctrine-the
policy of the "Open Door," On Sep
tember s, 1899, Hay addressed to Lon
don, Berlin and ST. Petersburg his
initial circular note on the open door,
in which he requested each of those
governments to respect the integrity
of the Chinese Empire and the treaties
which had accorded commercial rights
within it's territory, to the end that
this vast market should remain open
to all nations. This was the first step
in process of negotiation that was in
tended to check the multiplication and
extension of spheres Of influence"
which threatened to break up the
Chinese Empire into separate districts
under foreign and chiefly European
control.
Permanent Safety and
Peace in China
In his more famous note Of July g.
1900. addressed to the leading powers,
Secretary Hay declared the policy Of
the United States to be "to seek a
solution which may bring about per-
manent safety and peace in China, pre-
serve China's territorial and admins
trative entity, protect all rights guar
anteed to friendly powers by treaties
and international law, and safeguard
for the world the principle of equal
and impartial trade with all parts Of
the Chinese Empire"
This declaration has become the
classic statement of the policy of the
United States in China and the Far
Fast. In some cases with evident re-
luctance. but finally with virtual una
nimity, the chief European powers and
Japan, replying to Secretary Hays sep

.CARELESSNESS
ACCOUNTS FOR
MAIL DEL AY
Think TlUice Before Mailing a
Letter or a Package; Is 1t
Properly Addressed and in
Plain Handwriting? \

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-One way to
reduce federal expenses would be for
everybody to think twice, or at least
once, before mailing a letter or a
package. Carelessness by part of the
public requires thousands of postal
employees to do nothing but straight
en- out misdirected and improperly ad-
dressed mail. The working hours thus
employed each year would, if placed
end to end, stretch all the way back
to B. c., perhaps farther.
One naive thing a great many peo-
pie do every day is to drop letter or
parcel in the mail box without a word
inscribed upon it to show who the
sender might be or to whom it is in
tended to be delivered. This feat,
postal officials say, is accomplished
400 times a day in New York alone.
Such mail must be ripped open lin the
rope of identifying the sender or in
tended recipient. Curiously, the spe-
cial mailing clerks of big business
houses are said to be guilty of this
careless act just about as often as
those for whom licking stamps and
address envelopes do not constitute
a calling.
Every day 350,OO0 pieces of i'm
proberly addressed mail are posted in
New York. Often the wrong state is
written on the envelope, frequently
the name is wrong. Here as alse-
where the most common error is for
the sender to put down his own home
town as the address when another
community is meant. Another cause
for tardy deliveries is the not yet
abandoned custom of taking a pride
in eccentric, peculiar handwriting.
Postal authorities attribute to
carelessness by mailers 80 per cent
of all the delays complained of. They
mention how those sorting letters
must slow down every time they run
across an address penned in strange
style, how so employees here are
kept busy searching directories to To-
cate the right address of persons i'm
properly addressed, and how much
time is consumed finding to what
town mail should be sent when as
signed by the writer merely to a num-
ber along main street." Elm street"

CHOICE HAY IS
HIGHER PRICED
IN THE MARKET
Southern California GrOUevs
Are Better Off Than in
Other Sections of Country

The weekly market review of the
Alfalfa Growers Association has the
following to say:
The market for alfalfa hay during
the past week continued firm under a
good demand, for spot lots as we'll as
for shipment. Choicer grades were in
many instances held somewhat high
er, otherwise prices do not show much
change.
We believe the present fair-sized
movement can be considered as nor
NAL to satisfy current requirements
and, in view of the comparatively
light reserve supplies in the hands of
dealers and users, the requirements
should normally run about the same
from now on and until spring.
Looking at the situation generally
OF the growers of alfalfa marketing
nay in California, while the prices
which they receive this year are not
renluneratlVe, the growers have every
reason to be satisfied in comparison
with those in other states.
We only have to compare the low
prices of the season here with those
received by the growers in other
states, as for instance with IS baled,
IN Nevada and other northwestern
states, Sc baled in Colorado, $3.50
baled in South Dakota, etc. We be-
'ieve our growers here do not realize
how near they came to suffering the
same fate; all that saved them from
it is the association.

the marketing situation and develop
ments during the first half of the

FOR bURCH
WILL PLEAD
INSANITY
Seek Time to Secure Affida-
Wits and Dispositions from
Relatives and Friends of
Alleged Slayer

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 8.--Arthur
c. Burch, alleged slayer of j. Bolton
Kennedy, will go to trial with insan-
|ity as his defense. This was an
,nounced in affidavits presented by his
attorneys in support of motion for
postponement of the trial in order to
take dispositions in the east bearing
upon the prisoners mental condition.
The affidavits were submitted after
Judge Sidney N. Reeve had denied an
application for a sanity trial for
Burch, preliminary to the murder
trial. Action upon the motion for
postponement was continued until to-
day, at the request of the prosecution.
The court also continued until to-
day consideration of a motion to dis
miss the murder charge against Mrs.
Madalynne Obenchain, indicted joint
ly with Burch, on the ground she had
not been given trial within the stat
utory period of 60 days.
The chief affidavit in support of the
motion for postponement of Burch's
trial, made by Paul w. Schenck, de-
fense attorney, set forth that plea
of insanity would be advanced and
that to support it the testimony was
necessary of relatives and acquain-
tances in the east who had noticed
marked change" in his demeanor with
IN the past three years. Mr.. Schenck
advanced his belief Burch did not slay
Kennedy, but added that if he did "he
could not have known the difference
between right and wrong in such
killing" 1t was also set forth that
Rev. w. A. Burch, father of the de-
fendant, has been in Chicago and
Evanston for several days arranging
for dispositions in the case.
Judge Reeve, in denying the appl-
cation for sanity trial. said he based
his action partly upon his observation
of Burch in the courtroom, aided by
his experience in presiding over the
Los Angeles county lunacy commits
sion for six years. Commenting upon
a contention that Burch was a para
noiac, the judge declared that there
are certain well defined symptoms al
ways apparent in paranoia cases and
he had observed none of these in the

request because an alienist said in an

RESIGNS HIS
MEMBERSHIP
IN CLUB
Attorneys Representing In
terests of Auto Club Re-
ceive Scathing Rebuke
From Bench for Action in
a Court Matter

Perhaps in one of the most scathing
lenunciations to be pronounced in De-
partment 2 in the Superior Court, rel
ative to the action of an attorney rep
resenting a client, transpired yester-
lay when the case of NJ. B. Davis VS..
The Automobile Club of Southern CAL
ifornia came up for trial late yester-
Jay afternoon.
The case has been on the court cal
endar for some time and was on last
October Z set for trial on November
z.
The plaintiff NJ. Davis will short
iy begin serving a Jail sentence for
one year in the county Jail, and is en-
gagged in arranging his business af-
fairs so that dependents will not suf-
fer unduly during his incarceration.
Chief among the matters which the
plaintiff was seeking to settle was the
recovery of his automobile from the
Automobile Club of Southern Califor-
MIA. which the plaintiff alleged was be-
ing unlawfully held by them.
Approximately, one week before the
lime set for the hearing of the case,
representative of the Automobile
Club called on Judge M. w. Conk--
ling, soliciting his membership for the
club, which was gladly given.
Later, the same representative of
the club made affidavit to the effect
that Judge Corkling was member of
the Auto Club, in good standing.
Upon this affidavit, a motion was
filed for the defendant alleging that
Hon. M. w. Conkling was disqualified
from trying the case. in that he is a
member of the Auto Club, one of the
defendants, and was, therefore, inter
ested in the outcome of the case.
Immediately upon being informed
of the action of the club and before
the hearing yesterday afternoon,
Judge Conkling resigned his member
ship in the Automobile Club of South
ern California. Later, when the case
was called, attorneys for plaintiff in
troduced counter-affidavits stating
that the defendants action was made
only for the purpose of delaying the
trial and issues and that the said ac-
ton was not made in good faith, mas
much as defendant knew that Judge
Cole of Department One of the Su-
perior Court was also member in
good standing Of the Auto Club, and
that if Hon. NJ. w. Conkling was dis
qualified, the Hon. F.. J. Cole would
also be disqualified.
The affidavit of the plaintiff furthe,
stated that upon information and be,
lief that the application of Judge NJ
w. Conkling as a member of the Auto
Club had beer solicited by Neal H
Gavin, who executed the affidavit ir
support Of the defendant Motion fo,
Transfer of Cause, solely for the pur
pose of securing the disqualification
of the Hon. NJ. w. Conkling from tn,
trial.
Judge Conk!iug said in substance
