the dividend, will amount to more
than $26O,OOO,. j. s. Montgomery,
manager, announced.
Checks will be mailed to all the
local associations within the next
few days, Mr.. Montgomery said. The
additional saving was accomplished
through the fact that the company
charges about 20 per cent less COM
mission than other concerns. he said.
During the year just closed. the
company handled 22,99O cars of stock,
t0taling 1,523,393 head, including cat

ALL CHINESE
TROOPST0BE
WITHDRAWN
Cantonese Authorities Agree
to Let British Police Con-
troll Situation
RlOTING Is SPREADING
Chinese Soldiers Engaged in
Lcoting-Refugees Placed
on Gunb0ats'

London. Jan. S.-[R-Thc British
foreign office was advised from Han
kow this morning that the Cantonese
authorities have agreed to withdraw
all Chinese troops and pickets from
the British concession which will be
policed Jointly by the British police,
assisted by police from the former
Russian and German concessions.
These are foreign trained Chinese.
The British police also are natives
under British supervision.
u is expected that British subjects
will return to their offices some time
today from the barracks where they
were concentrated for safety.
Menace Continues
Meanwhile the menace Of Chinese
m0bs, inflamed by anti foreign agita-
tors continues to hang over the white
residents of the cities along the
Yangtze valley.>
The rioting, which has centered
world attention on Hankow for the
last week, now has spread to Kiu-
kiang, down the river. where condi-
tions are described as absolutely in
tolerable.'
Chinese soldiers, presumably be-
longing to the Cantonese faction
which controls the region, are out of
hand. Shanghai dispatches say, and
are engaging in looting. which the
authorities are unable to halt.
The British concession there, like
that at Hankow, is said to have been
evacuated of women and children, the
refugees being placed on gunboats for
Shanghai.
The foreigners in Kiukiang nor
mally number about 100, but recently
there were 400 Americans and British
ers at kuling, 20 miles inland.
Outbreak at Shanghai Feared
Messages to the London newspapers
reflect amazement on the part of the
British in Pesing and Shanghai that
no attempt has been made to assert
British, authority in the face Of the
mobs at Hankow.- FeAr.is expressed
that there may be Similar outbreak
at Shanghai.
A graphic eye witness account of
the incidents early this week leading
to the withdrawal Of the British naval
forces from Hankow is given by the
Shanghai correspondent Of the West
Minister Gazette.
After professions through the na-
tive part of the city, he says, a great
crowd appeared before the barbed
wire barricade protecting tn British
concession, which was guarded by
a British naval landing party.
Their passions famed to fever heat
bv agitators, the mob began to stone
the guards, and it became necessary
to withdraw the latter to sandbag
defenses. The mob then attempted a
thanking movement along the shore of
the river.
.Reinforcements Used
British reinforcements were rushed
up and q hand-to-hand struggle en-
sued, the rioters using stones and
sticks. The marines are declared to
have refrained from employing their
rifles or bayonsts, relying instead on
clubs and fists, and there was no
shooting. Several British and Chinese
were injured.
When night came a Chinese officer
warned the British that the mob was
out Of control end the firing of =
single shot would precipitate mass
acre. The British foyces were with
drawn and the Chinese troops took
control of the concession.

Years Ago, Used to Back

Washington, Jan. 8.-LPp-Oppon-
ents Of the American governments
policy IN Nicaragua, now augmented
oy certain European as we'll as Lat
an-American newspapers, have been
answered anew by the Coolidge ad-
mintetration, and principles enunciat-
ed % years ago have been recalled

These principles were contained in
the so-called "Evarts doctrine" note
communicated by William Maxwell
Evarts. secretary Of state under
President Hayes, to Minister Foster
for presentation to the Mexican gov
eminent in 1873.
"The first duty of government" the
note said, rs to protect life and prop
erty. This is paramount obligation.
And governments neglecting or fail
ing to perform it become worse than
useless.
This dutv the governments of the
United States has determined to per-
form to the extent Of its power tp-
ward its citizens on the border. 1t
is not s0jicitous about the ways in
which that protection shall be accom-
plished, whether by formal treaty
stipulations or by formal conven-
tions, whether by the action of judi
cial tribunals or that Of military
force.
Protection in fact to American n
lives and property is the sole point
upon which the United States are
tsnacious.'

down by Secretary Hughes, which led

PACT VIEWED
UNFAV0RABLY
BY PANAMANS
Treaty Binding Central Amer
lean Country Closer TO u. S.
Causes Discussion

Panama. Jan. 8.--lP}-Popular
sentiment against the Panama-Amer-
lean treaty is growing here and the
government is doing it's utmost to
prevent the inflaming of the popu-
lace. Proposed mass meetings have
been forbidden, and the, c,congrcss ional
committee engaged in studying the
treaty has been requested to delay
it's report.
DR.. HarmodiO Arias, former Pana-
man delegate to the League Of Ma
tions. leader Of the fight against the
treaty speaking before the Rotary
Club here yesterday, said:
1T is impossible for anyone to
predict whether or not the congress
of Panama will ratify the treaty re-
Gently negotiated between Panama
and the United States, but it is quite
evident that in all sections of the
country every man, woman and child
feels that an injustice will be COM
mitted against Panama in the event
of its approval.
Even those who negotiated on be-
half Of Panama seem dissatisfied, as
their principal argument in it's Ia
v0r is that it is the most they could
obtain from the United States"
The new Panaman-American treaty
gives the armed forces of the United
States free transit through Panama
in time of peace, and provides that
Panama shall declare herself in a
state Of war "in case Of any war in
which the United States should be a
belljgerent." Panama agrees to CO.
operate in all possible ways in The
defense of the Panama Canal.
Other. articles give the United
States complete control over all ra-
dio and cable communications and
supervision over all aircraft and
aviation centers. Part Of the Man
vanilla Island. at the Atlantic termin-
US Of the canal and the .harbor of
Colon are turned over to the United
States for perpetual occupation.

LONG, LOW CARS
ARE FAVORED
FOR THIS YEAR
300 Models of As Makes at
New York Show Construct.
ed Along These Lines

New York, Jan. 8.--LR)--Automo
bilists who can afford new machine
in 1927. will take to the roads in long,
low, closed cars, set well down to the
ground and equipped with compact.
powerful motors that can reel off the
miles at almost any desired speed
This was the indication seen in the
latest models on display at the 9th
annual national automobile show OPP
cninp this afternoon. Three hundred
models of As makes Of machines are
constructed, almost without exception,
along those lines.
The show also contains 65 models
of IL makes of trucks, indicating that
automobile express service during the
year will be carried mostly in lighter
and faster machines, built for good
roads that now connect the principal
cities.
Few Radical Changes
Few radical departures from 1926
models are noted. The lowered cen
ter Of gravity in the passenger cars
has been applied this year because Of
the increasing use of the closed car.
The open car is almost q thing Of the
past. the exhibits revealed, and some
firms will adopt the policy of making
the touring car only on order of the
buyer within the next few years.
The 1927 machine is richly equip
ped inside with electric cigar lighters,
vanity and writing cases and odd
pockets for gloves and magazines
The dash board has become simpli-
fled and artistic accessory with gas
oline and motor. heat indicators in
cluded on the board. Coincidental
locks are used almost entirely. some
operating on the transmission and
ignition and others locking the trans
mission and wheel.
Technical improvements
The important technical changes
in the 1927 models consist of devices
for filterin~ the oil and gasoline and
for cleaning the air before they arc
allowed to enter tho motor. Quicter
valve operation has been achieved
through the most scientific design of
cams; driving shafts have six and
seven bearings instead of the usual
three or four and are much heavier
than usual. Other parts Of the motor
such as cylinders, however, have Civ
en- way to lighter metals of aluminium
and alloy.
The motors as a rule run more
smoothly and many devices have been
added for reducing the vibration.
