depth Of 233 feet behind this dam ;
then, in front Of it a spill-way bearing
strong resemblance to section of

SERVANT OWNS
$1,000 MOTOR CAR
COIOred Girl Surprised at Fuss
Made Over It.

New York, July 1S.-The interest
aroused i'll some persons when Cora
Spaulding. Il colored servant was fined
in traffic court for speeding in her
own automobile of expensive make,
fails Ia register in her mind.
In her Opinion there is nothing TO
get excited about when lady's maid
earns enough to buy a $1,000 car.
There is Il slight wrinkle in the plot
furnished by the fact that the car IS
registered in the secretary of states
office under the name of l.. L. Hill.
Miss Spaulding refuses 10 identity l..
Z. Hill She herself has Il bill of sale
for the car.
The way to get a car is to work
and earn it," is her advice. Il worked
early and late until | got the money
and then | went to Philadelphia and
bought the auto. | Use the car in my
business some. l don't have much
time for recreation"
When she bought the car, or where
she goes on her excursions in 1t, she
refuses to say. The point about L. p.
HILL she considers up to the secretary
of state to untangle.
''Why make such II fuss about my
owning IA car? Lots of folks around
this part of Harlem own their own
automobiles. You'll find a hundred
negroes within Il few blocks around
here who have their own cars. If
owned Il house | wouldn't think it
strange. A lady's maid can own Il car
if she gets to work and earns it. That's
what l did, and that's all there is to
It,"
Miss Spaulding was arrested last
week for speeding on Seventh avenue.

guilty and paid Il fine of so for speed
ing ut - miles au hour and 81 for
driving without her license. The H.

JAPANESE WELL DISPOSED
It is Declared Government Heartily
Welcomes the Inclusion of China in

| Siberian problems are expected to form
important topics for discussion, and
! Chinese participation. consent and UNI
Outstanding are essential if any of the
| decision; reached are To be put into
el1tctual operation.
The conference is declared Ia offer
an excellent opportunity for the pow
erS To reach unanimous decisions on
| Far Eastern questions. although it is
pointed out that historical and other
considerations affecting the various ma
lions may make immediate enforce
mem of the conference decisions Il
matter of some difficulty.
Many leaders of Japanese thought
are expressing the opinion that Japan
will have 1T Washington the golden
opportunity of her history to make
known to the world her desires and
reach the understanding with the Unit
ed States which is regarded as so vital
t. .iapan'S future.
| Despite the reservation contained in
.Rlpan'S reply to President Harding's
J invitation to take part in the confer
ecne, the answer is regarded as Il vir
tual acceptance.
1t is forecast that wheE America
defines the problems to be taken up at
the conference Japan will prepare a
list of questions which she deems es-
Sen1ial for discussion. These. it is eX-
pected, will be roughly grouped under
the headings of population, food and
raw materials. the last Of which, il
is contended, should be freely avail
allie to Japan, including cotton from
The United States and India.
| 1t is generally held that the queS-
ton of japanese emigration to the
American continents and the British
dominionS must be discussed in con-
nection with Japan'S population prob
lem. Japan also is expected to urge
the according to most favored nation
treatment to her products in all coun-
tries, and to urge that China should
be opened up to the world, including
Japan, FOR residence and business.
The opinion also is prevalent that
as limitation of ornaments is a world
issue, there is no reason why dis
cussion of international problems
should be confined to the Far East, on
J the ground that the Far East is a pos
sible regional seat of causes of war.
Several Japanese leaders are quoted
as believing that there are equally
grave possibilities of war in Europe
and as favOring that che conference
also go into such questions as war in
IDENTITIES, Greco-Turkish relations and
:he Silesian situation.
