 Action of the Shanghai municipal council in asserting that 1t alone had authority to make settlement with the Chinese has further tangled an already complicated and difficult question. It compelled the Picking diplomats to refer the question to their respective governments where reexaminatlon of treaties and other documents became necessary.
 Officials here have been at loss to explain unofficial reports from Tokyo that three-cornered agree emnt between the United States, Great Britain and Japan had been arrived at which involved both the Shanghai incident and the American proposal to bring the Washington treaties and resolutions as 10 Chint into effect.

The Boone family moved from Penn
sylvania in 1748 to Holman's Ford on
the Yadkin in North Carolina. In 1865
Daniel Boone married Rebecca Bryan
and set up a home on the Yadkin. 1t
was in 1857 that his Kentucky adven-
lures began. In 1899, having lost his
lands, he went to Missouri, then under
Spanish control, and settled about
fOrty-five miles from st. Louis, where
he died.
Boone founded BoonesbOrough April
6, 1875, as the agent of Richard Hen
derson of North Carolina, who had
bought a vast area Of land from the
Cherokees-who had no ownership,
Kentucky being without resident In
dians and the common hunting ground
of tribes to the north and south. Hen
dersOn organized the Pennsylvania
company, established the colony Of
Pennsylvania and sent Boone ahead to
blaze the Wilderness road" through
Cumberland Gap and also to build a
fort.
May %, 1775, eighteen delegates,
representing the four settlements Of
Pennsylvania = Boonesborough, Har
rodsburg, Boiling Spring and st. Asaph
drew up compact between the pro-
prietors and the settlers. 1t provided
for perfect religious freedom and
general toleratiOn militia and judicial
systems," etc. This was the first
western legislature" The opposition
Of Virginia, Of which Kentucky was
then a part, and the outbreak of the
Revolution, which put an end to pro-
prietary governments, caused the
downfall of Transylvania. BoOnesbOr-
ough is now only memory.
Publfc-spirited citizens have perfect
ed plans to take over the home of Dan
iel Boone in "Vau de Femme Usage"
in Missouri. The old stone house still
stands, and beside it the famous "Judg-
ment tree" under which Syndic Boone
settled all controversies according to
the Golden Rule-even If he had to
fine both the parties to a suit. For
the Spanish hOnored Boone with Office
and with land-mOst of which he lost
when the United States made the Lou
isiana purchase In 1903. This "Nimrod
of the Yadlzin" hunted almost to his
dying day. In 1878 he planned trip
to Indian territory (Oklahoma)-
may have taken it, for all anyone
knows to the contrary.
What gives Daniel Boone his famef
He was neither the first explorer nor
the first settler Of Kentucky. His
service was of much less Importance
than that of George Rogers Clark, his
fellow backwOodsman. Figure 1t out
for yourself. But as a hero Of Young
America he is surpassed only by his

Notable among the events that com
pose the weeks program is pilgrim
age to the grave of Daniel Boone
Wednesday, June 8.
Thursday the members Of the assO-
citation will participate in the sesqui-
centennial parade at Lexington, a mill
tary, patriotic and civic demonstration
with floats representing Kentucky pio-
neer scenes, decorated automobiles,
Kentucky thoroughbred horses and a
presentation by Transylvania univer-
sity cOmmemOrating the visit Of Lafay-
cite to Lexington in May, 1926.
A feature of the Boone reunion will
be trip to BOOnesbOro, where the first
Legislature" in the West was con-
vened in 1775 and where Daniel Boone
established his fort The Boone Fam
| lily association will be assisted in the
Winchester, KY, where they will be
entertained the remainder of the day,
returning to Lexington at night for the
sesquicentennial carnival costume ball
| at the University of Kentucky.
The dedication of tablets to the pio-
neer who founded Lexington and "open
house" receptions by various patriotic
organizations will occupy the attention
of the Boone delegates Friday and Sat
urday morning, while the sesquicenten-
nial historical pageant in the Univer-
sity of Kentucky stadium, seating
will fhO
tion on Thursday, Friday and Saturday
afternoons.
BOones attending the reunion, as
well as those back home, will arrange
for special "Pioneer Sunday" services
in the churches June 7, which will com
memorate the date Daniel Boone first
reached Kentucky in 1863.
This homecoming of the BoOnes
should be quite a celebration in itself
even if only the family take part. Mrs
James Randolph Spraker of Buffalo
| descended from one of Daniels broth
ers, has compiled q genealogy which
/ lists 5,164 descendants of George and
Mary (Maugridge) Boone, grandpar-
ents of Daniel and founders Of the
American Boone family
Here are facts bearing on the ref
erences in the Douglass announce
ment.
George Boone, the family's founder
came with his wife and eleven children
from Exeter, England, in 1717, settled
in Pennsylvania and joined the Society
of Friends (Quakers). His son Squire
(given name, not title) married Sarah
Morgan. Daniel, son Of Squire, was
born February II, 1875, near the site
of Reading and died September 6, 1920
in st. Charles county, Missouri 1t was
not until 1845 that Boones body was
| removed to Frankfort.

Anyway, the BOones-and their name
is legion-have planned a celebration
with headquarters at Lexington for the
week June l to Z. That city is prop
erly the center about which the cele-
bratiOn revOlves, for it was founded
and named June 8 by party of hunt
ers who had just heard Of the battle
Of Lexington, 'The eighteenth of April,
Seventy-five."
The purposes of this first conven-
tion of the Boone family" are thus set
forth in an announcement by William
Boone Douglass Of Washington, D. c.,
acting president Of the Boone Family
association, which says in part:
His excellency, William Jason Fields,
governor of the commonwealth of
Kentucky, invites the Boone Family as
sociation and all persons of Boone
lineage to hold the first Boone family
reunion and convention-memoriaI to
Daniel Boone-in the city of Lexing-
ton, in connection with and as part of
the sesquicentennial celebration COM
memOrating such notable national
events as the blazing by Daniel Boone
OF the first way from the Atlantic
coast through the wilderness to Ken
lucky and the assembling at Boones-
boro, as the capital of the colony of
Transylvania, of the first western legis-
lature. Thus, in 1775 Kentucky became
the Mother State of the West and over
the Boone Wilderness road passed the
winners of the West. President Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in Hero Tales From
American History" says:
Daniel Boone will always occupy a
unique place in our history as the
archetype of the hunter and the will
derness wanderer. He was true pio-
neer and stood at the head of that class
of Indian fighters, game hunters, for
est fellers and backwoods farmers who.
for generation after generation, pushed
the western border of civilization from
the Alleghenies to the Pacific AS he
himself said, he was an instrument of
God to settle the Wilderness"
This meeting will be a pilgrimage
to the grave of Daniel Boone at Frank
fort and the placing of a wreath by
his kinsmen. Furthermore, a pledge
will be made at the grave to honor his
memory by placing his bust in the
Hall of Fame at New York university,
and an intensive drive will then be
begun among his relatives for funds.
Governor Fields, from whose win
dow in the capitol at Frankfort may be
seen the tomb that marks the last rest
ing place of Daniel Boone, closes his
hospitable invitation to the Boone fam
lily with the tribute: although the
body Of the great pioneer Boone sleeps
in our city of the dead, beside the mur-
muring waters of the river he loved so
well, his great spirit still lives In the
hearts Of our people"
William Boone Douglass has for
mally accepted Governor Fields invita-
ton and has notified all persons OF
Boone lineage throughout the United
States to assemble at Lexington and
register June 1 and 2, ready to take
part in an elaborate program to be car.
Fied out the five days that follow.

YES, BUS INTERESTS HAVE RIGHTS

The Hartford Times, which hereto fore could not be credited with leaning toward the independent bus interests of the state, is to be con- graduated upon taking reason able view of the eternal transpor- tation triangle being fought over in the state, namely the rights of the railroad, the trolley companies and the independent bus lines.
 Quoting the fact that the inde- pendent bus holdings in the state total an investment of $2,50000 that they operate 26O busses over HOO miles of highway, the Times ended it's editorial with:
 'It appears reasonable 10 suggest that where the state itself has chartered an independent bus line, which has become well established and represents a considerable in- vestment of capital, 1t owes some obligation 10 afford that company and the investors In it at least a measure Of protection"
 IL will for the Public Utilities Commission, in its consideration oI bus franchises demanded by tho railroad interests, to bear thest facts in mind. The railroad is no the only interest, in the state tha needs 10 be protected" Tn property rights of the bus owners who developed a field when botl the railroad and the trolley octopu sniffcd, are really priority rights fo this reason. The railroad and it friends still think 1t is entitled 10 transportation monopoly merely he cause it has money invested and th stockholders and bond holders ar alarmed. The railroad is not likel 10 go bankrupt; the fact is, its sur plus this year is much larger tha last year, in spite of carrying te percent fewer short distance pas scngcrs.
 The Herald has all along cham pioncd the rights of indcpender bus owners who developed a field a q time when the railroad and tro Icy barons snickcred. The Hcral is glad 10 note that the Times hs begun 10 regard the men who wer into a legitimate business as DO. Sessing some rights.
