SEEK TO SPEED UP
BISHOPS ELECTION
Delegates Warned, However,
Night Session May Be
Necessary.

Plans are under way to limit the
time of nominating speeches at the
session of the convention of the Epis-
copal Diocese of Washington to be
held Thursday. May 81, at the Church
of the Ascension. 18th street and Mas
| sachusetts avenue, to elect the third
Bishop of Washington,
1t is hoped that nominating speeches
for men in the diocese may be limited
TO three minutes, and seconding
speeches TO two minutes, and
speeches OF nomination of out-of-
town candidates to five minutes, and
their secondinG speeches TO three
minutes.
Such limitation is believed neces-
| sary, in order to speed up the proper
business OF the session, which is the
election OF the bisnop. The longer
time for the nomination speeches of
out-ot-town possibilities for the
bishopric is declared advisable be-
cause of the very fact that they would
not be so well known here

i. S. HITS JAPAN'S
RADIO MONOPOLY
0pen-Door Policy in China
Violated by Toxic, Says
Washington Note.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

graph communication. so that news
may come to the peoples of the earth
uhcensored and untainted, mas reach
Gu the point where 1t challenges the
sood faith of the Japanese in their
protestations of friendliness to the
policy of the open door in China.
Inc battle of notes and official
statements, which for months has
peen going on between the American
legation and the Japanese legation
In Peking, has just been inten si fed
by the sensational discovery that the
Japanese suppressed an important
artlcie In the text of the report
recommended by the delegates of all
powers. including Japan. as the basis
for dealing with international. cab.e
and radio rights throughout the
world
Briefly, the controversy centers
around the signing of a contract he
IMeeh the Chinese government at
neKlng and an American firm. the
federal Telegraph and Wireless Com
pdhy, now controlled by the Ameri-
can Radio Corporation, for the con-
structlon OF several high-power radio

Such contract does exist, though
In Peking it Is charged the arrange
ment was made with a group of cor
rupt officials in the Chinese govern
ment. The secret contract giving the
japanese a monopoly for thirty years
was produced by the Japanese gov
ernment' after Secretary Hughes
made inquiry in an endeavor to pro-
tect the American firms rights.
Ihe japanese argue priority of
rights while the American govern
ment contends the monopoly violates
the spirit and letter Of the open door

East. me japanese in their official
statement base their case on the first
!hree articles of the report made by
lne international communication com
terence in Washington, copies of
which evidently had not been sent
TO the American legation In Picking
or generally distributed but they
throw an important light on the mat
ter OF cable and radio communica-
ton throughout the world. Here are
the principles:
"First-That hereafter no permit

shall be granted or renewed for the
erection of radio station for inter-
national communications without ii
being expressly declared that the per-
mission does not confer monopoly
or exclusive rights of any kind.
Will Not Aid Monopoly.
"Second-That in principle they
(the principal allied and associated
powers) will not in the future sup
port their nationals, automatically
or otherwise, in seeking exclusive
cable or radio concessions from nom
signatory states. provided that all
states adhering to this international
telegraph convention undertake the
same obligation
Third-NeI ertheless. the powers
do not intend to prejudice the de-
Felopment of communications by
cable or radio by preventing the
granting of exclusive or privileged
concessions for a reasonable term of
years In cases where the probable
traffic would not be sufficient to yield
a fair return upon the capital in
vested in more than one system for
the. operation of the service in ques-
ton"
Resting its case on the last article,
the Japanese contend they are JUS
titled and that the powers sanctioned
the Japanese did not publish the
fourth and last article of the same
agreement. which throws an entirely
different light on the matter. 1t
says:
Fourth, If objection is made by
one of the signatory powers to the
granting or renewal of an exclusive
concession within a reasonable time
after such power becomes aware of
such grant or renewal, or of an ap-
DllcAtl0n al
the question shall be submitted by
the countries in interest to arbitra-
,tion, in accordance with the provi-
sions of the international telegraph con-
ventfon, or any convention of which il
forms part"
United States Would Arbitrate.
This article means that exceptions
can be made only after conference of
the powers and after arbitration.
That's what the American govern
controversy to arbitration if neceS-
sary. But even the report of the
international communication confer
ence is not the controlling argument
of the American governments case.
1t rests on the nine-power treaty, the
professions of freedom of commercial
opportunity in the far east and previ-
Gus treaties between China and the
United States. The American lega-
tion said in it's last note:
I'm conclusion, it is not too much
to say that the American government
has given evidence regarding the ex-
ecution of the Federal Telegraph
Company contract by the Chinese
government as an almost crucial test
of the efficacy of the policy of equal
opportunity in China. If the whole
area of China may be barricaded
against all overseas radio deyelOD-
ment for thirty years for the benefit
of one station. equal opportunity,
whether for China among nations or
for other nations in China. cannot be
said to exist"

URGE CHANGE IN SYSTEM

Being DESTROYS of preserving and de-
yeIoping the beautiful shade trees of

ing the Senate appropriations COM
mittee will write into the appropria-
ton bill for next year the $4,000 in
crease for trees and parkings that
was stricken out by the House COM
nittee.
For the last two years the District
bill has carried only 1000 for main
tenance of the tree system, which is
$4,000 less than the Commissioners
received Immediately after the war.
when conditions generally were more
Abnormal than they are today.
Therefore, In asking for $4,000 for
the year beginning July l next. the
lily heads were seeking merely to
restore this item to what it was two
years ago.
Central Control Suggested.
It came to light today that at the
hearings before the House Subcom-
mittee on appropriations Representa-
tive Evans asked Engineer Commits
Sioner Keller If he had ever thought
OF placing public parks and the street
rree system under one control. At
present practically all of the parks
are under Col. Sheriff.
The colonel replied that no had not
considered the proposition.
"Do you not think it is a good
solution of some of the difficulties
We have, having two or three sets
OF men taking care of trees ten or
fifteen feet apart? Representative
Evans asked.
Col. Keller replied that he doubted
whether such a situation exists.
Generally speaking" the colonel
continued, ''we have two separate or
ganizations for care of natural
beauty in the District, one. the Office
of the superintendent of public build
tngs and grounds, who under the law
has jurisdiction of all so-called
parks, and the other is our office of
trees and parkings. which takes care
only Of the trees planted at the curbs
ind in the parking between the build
ing line and the sidewalk.
Those are separate and distinct,
and believe we perform with ref
erence to the parking trees a func-
ton somewhat different from what
the superintendent of buildings and
grounds Performs in the public parks"
Yearly Increase Small.
The colonel testified that lie doubt
cd whether there would be any econ
Omy in combining the two functions
under one office.
If the present appropriation Of
$4,000 year is not increased Dis
Lrtct officials say they will have diff
'fculty in keeping the existing trees
alive and healthy, much less add the
scores of new ones that become nee
fssary rs new streets are opened and
built upon.
At the close of the last fiscal year
Washington had 1885, S9 trees, which
was a net increase of only eighty-six
