GIN PRINCIPLE"

Statesmen rise, portentous, grave, Saying China must receive Justice. Nations misbehaye
 Tn manner that doth grieve All right-thinking people who
 Hold their independence dear. Diplomats, assenting to
 These remarks, uplift cheer. Then about table they
 Go at length into the case; Surely there must be way
 To set free the Chinese race. Long have foreign devils" worked Their sweet will on China land; 'Tis not strange the "Chinks" are irked And have ceased to be so bland. ''Yes," the diplomats declare,
 Something must be done with speed Let us be unselfsh, fair,
 And the voice of conscience heed" 'I in principle accept"
 Each one says, "Pm for the right" Fen the angels might have wept
 Witnessing this solemn sight. China, gladdened, dares to hope
 All her sorrows soon will end; Shall she longer sigh and nope
 When her luck is on the mend? Surely not The diplomats
 Have agreed. Alas, that crew Were conversing through their hats, As they very often do.

Trippe to Get Data
On Farm Loans

Re. Walter Trippe, candidate for
congress in the Fifth district, an
nounced Saturday that he will go
to Washington in the next few days
for the purpose of obtaining infor-
nation and advice from authorita-
tive sources concerning his plan to
broaden the federal farm loan sys-
tenn SO as to enable tenant farmers
to become land-owning farmers by
loaning them at a low rate Of in
terest for a long term the money
with which to complete the purchase
price of farms, where they have
some cash of their own.
Cali over the Fifth district" said
Mr.. Trippe, II continue to receive
assurances Of interest in the plan an
nounced a few weeks ago as a part
of my platform. The federal farm
loan system as now organized is out
of the reach Of the man who owns
no land, yet we have thousands of
good farmers in our state who do
not own land. and hundreds of city
jewellers who would like to own land,
and would make good farmers, but
who cannot buy because of the high
interest rates and short term of land

CHICAGO MOTHERS OUT
TO END |'PETTING PARTlES''
FORD To MODIFY
PLANS FOR RAILROAD

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Hen-
ry Ford whose purchase and opera
ton of the Detroit, Toledo and Iron
ton railroad has been followed with
considerable interest in the railroad
world, has decided to modify his
original plan for it's corporate reor-
ganization, according to indications
given by interstate commerce COM
mission records.
Shortly after purchasing the rail
road, Mr.. Ford organized a new COM
pany called the Detroit and Iron
ton, for which he got interstate COM
MERGE commission permission to is
sue $1,O0O,000 in capital stock and
to build a new line of railroad in
Wayne county, Michigan, supple
menting the original system. In adj
dition, Mr.. Ford ought permission
to turn the entire properties of the
Detroit, Toledo and Ironton over TO
the new corporation under lease and
to have the new company guaran-
tee outstanding securities issues of
the old railroad.
Certain minority stockholders of
the old company opposed to Mr..
Ford's reorganization plans entered
objections in the commission S inves-
tigation of the matter and the COM
mission recently issued an order stat
ing that 'the applicant (Mr. Ford
requested that these matters Ghe
granting Of the lease) be held in
allegiance, and, accordingly, no ac-
ton has been taken"
The commission also noted that
sit does not appear that the appli-
cant desires to press the matter to a
conclusion at this time, and in order
to close the record applications will
be dismissed"
The action of the commission con-
sequent1y leaves tie Ford railroad
properties exactly in the situation
that they were in when Mr.. Ford
acquired them and in case he desires
to lease the Detroit, Toledo and Iron
ton, to the Detroit and Ironton it
will be necessary for him to make a
new application
The Michigan public utilities COM
mission conceded with the interstate
commerce commission in giving Mr..
Ford the necessary permission t. is
sue securities for the new company,
and to permit it's construction Of a
new line. The fedrea. commission
has, it was pointed out, at it's Office
today, not passed upon the public
policy or the ACCESSIBILITY of allowing
Mr.. Ford to make the transfer.

u. S. Navy Officer
Saw Sea Monster Off
Patagonia, He Says

PHILADELPHIA, March IL
The Plesiosauran monster, seen in
Patagonia, according to reports from
the Buenos Aires geological gar
dens, is not a myth, snake or tur-
tie, in. the belief Of Lieutenant Com
mander o. Bevilaqua, now at the
Philadelphia navy yard. The naval
officer said today he had seen a
monstrous animal off the coast of
Patagonia Is years ago that re-
sembled descriptions of that report
ed seen recently in, the same local
ity by an Englishnan named Shelf
field
Lieutenant Bevilaqua, who is COM
mander of the U. S. S. Kaweah,
said that during 1906, while in the
Straits of Magellan, about 500 yards
off the coast of Patagonia, he saw
the monster one afternoon. "The
visibility was high, and. L do not
believe could have been mistaken, y
he said. "I was scanning the sky
line toward the shore and I heard
a splash and saw huge ice-covered
boulder splash into the sea from the
rocky shore. A moment later large
animal appeared at the point from
which the boulder had dropped, and
looked out toward me.
"The head was like that Of q
horse, and the neck. was fully 80
feet long. 1t was not a turtle, be-
cause turtles do not have necks Of
that length. am equally sure that
it was not a snake, because snakes
do not live in the ice and snow"
