AMERICAN CLAIMS
 ALL ARE REJECTED
Chinese and Russians to Control
 Eastern Railway

Washington, June i$.--The clm. SD and Russian Soviet -os oscrnmrHts ua&, entered into an arrangement for tine exclusive control and administration by them or the Chinese Eastern rail- way and claims made by the state de partment in behalf oI American -u}- ernment and citizen investors have been rejected.
 The state department today issued 2 statement on the situation as ]. has developed from ospon1ence "lth Feking and the arrangement between hoscok and Picking. l. revealed that the American government through Minister Schurman on May called the attention Of the Chinese E0A cru- ment 10 American interests Ia the railway and 10 the resolution adopted by the Washington arms conference under which China was made trustee for the railway and charged with the responsibility of adequately protecting the rights Of all creditors.
 In reply 10 Minister schuru3n's note, Dr. Wellington Roo, Chinese minister of foreign affairs said in ef- feet that only China and Russia were concerned Tn the question and the fu- lure administration of the railway rested exclusively in the two govern ments.
 The Chinese reply also asserted that the arrangement with Russia was not prsiudicial 10 the rights Of other na- tions and that China did not consider there was need for excessive anxiety over points raised by the American government. Because Of military necessities during the world war while American forces were in Siberia. the railway was administered by an in- ter-allied commission and was financed by the allied government, In this way the United States became a creditor to the extent Of about s5,O00,0O0 with others of the allied powers, including Japan, Great Britain and France.
 It is understood that Japan and France have made representations to the Chinese government and have re- ceiyed replies similar to that com municated to the United States.

LIQUOR PROSPECTS
DAILY DIM AWAY
HAYNES OPINION

Washington. Oct. 20 CA. P)--Pro-
hibition enforcement Is becoming
more effective every day. and this
improvement in curbing the outlaw
ed liquor traffic is due to better CO.
operation between federal and local
authorities, according to resume of
prohibition enforcement by the fed
eral government during the present
administra ton. made public by Fed
eral Prohibition Commissioner r. A..
Haynes. Other contributing factors
are the imposition Of Jail sentences
instead Of fines for violators. more
general use Of the paddock" on
liquor nuisanccs, and steps taken
toward stopping leaks of liquor from
bonded warehouses to the Illicit mar
ket.
Some Of the information contained
in this statement was made use of
by Mr.. Haynes in an address deliver
ed last week at Dayton. Ohio.
The report covers the period from
June II. 1921. to Sept. II. 1924. 1t
shows that the main sources for OBJ
tanning genuine liquor in this coun-
try have been largely cut off. This
has caused bootleggers to turn to
smuggling. but with the coast guard
rapidly getting this situation in con-
troll. the prospect for obtaining liquor
from overseas is growing DINNER
daily.
Commissioner Haynes said that
the more general realization that
more than 80 percent Of the so-called
bootleg liquor being sold is poison
Gus. was also a contributing factor
In bringing about victory of law and
order over the outlawed liquor traf-
flckers.

But when he is put in Jail his ac-
tlviues are at an end, his income
stops. and he has an opportunity to
reflect upon the importance of IN
holding the Constitution.

state authorities is improving" said
Commissioner Haynes. "All forces

Charities Report
On ArOostOOk Jail

Juvenile prisoners should not be
permitted to associate with adult
prisoners" says the report of the
state board of charities and correc-
lions. just issued on an inspection Of
the Aroostook county Jail. made by
Secretary Cornish Sept. %. last.
The board recommends that the
lighting system should be changed so
as to permit prisoners to read with
out endangering their eyesight: that
small library of well SELECTED books
would undoubtedly prove beneficial
to the prisoners. and that a sufficient
number OF chairs or benches should
be provided.
"The greatest defects In our pres
ent county Jail system are the as
ISOLATION in idleness and unrestrain-
ed communications of the prisoners"
the report points out. Academic
training and vocational training
would undoubtedly solve the prob
lens presented by deterioration
through idleness and vicious COM
mingline. Sheriff Lawless is doing
