 On the other hand, there is thus far no evidence that the Tanaka government intends 10 usurp new territory in Manchuria. The Japanese have their hands full in holding to what they have. But it becomes more clear every day that Japan considers Man churia essential to her prosperity even to her existence as a world power. and feels she must hold or to it at any cost.

 An average of three cents a mile for all travelling expenses of big car is not unusual, he stated That amount would pay the way of five or six people and give them in the bargain the benefit of fresh air and stop whenever they pleased, he said.

Shaft Marks Grave
 Of Last 'sTea Rebel''

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-In Lincoln Park stands a monument over the grave of the last survivor of the Boston tea party, who carried his tea dumping convictions so far as to drop the "T" from his own name.
 The thin white shaft also com memorates a rebellious family spirit, which opposed the British in the Revolutionary war and op- posed the commissioners of Lin coin Park when they would have removed the grave from the park.
 "Kenniston" was the family name before the dumping of tea in Boston Harbor. "Kennison" 1t became the day after the historic party.
 The Kennisons migrated west ward to Chicago, where c. E. Kennison, he who dropped the "T", died and was buried in a cemetery which was later to be come a part of Lincoln Park.
 When Lincoln Park was plan ned most of the graves were nov. ed, but not that of Kennison. The courts upheld the family in its refusal to permit removal.
 To make the burial plot worthy of the park the lonely granite shaft was raised, on which was in. scribed: "To the memory of O. B. Kennison (without the T) the last survivor of the Boston Tea Party"

jAPAN'S POLICY STIRRING 4 N GER OF MANCHURIANS
New Railway Controller Is Virtual Ruler of Great
 Chinese Territory


 TOKYO, Dec. 2a.-Jotaro Yama- moto. who has just been named president of the South Manchuria railway. which means that he is virtual ruler of territory controlled by Japan in Manchuria, has vast ed no time in defining the new positive policy which has caused go much excitement among the Chinese. Riots and demonstra- tions have followed each other in rapid succession in Mukden and other Manchurian cities, in pro test against any change of Jap anese policy.
 So MT. Yamamoto at once is- sued statement. explaining that the positive policy" used by the government party for local politi- cal consumption. is really no poll cy at all, and that it is not neces. sary even to mention it outside of Japan proper.
 Not Policy
 'It is ridiculous to refer to this so-called positive policy as a new Twenty-one Demands" said MT Yamamoto, in an official state ment. q will take this oppoi tunity to repeat again what my predecessors have said in the past Japan has no aggressive designs on Manchuria She wishes mere ly to retain what rights she has gained by wars and treaties. S. long as the Manchurian govern ment respects these rights, there will be no trouble But on ths other hand, Japan intends to keer her rights. and will not tolerat, their violation"
 This straightforward statemen has had a good effect both in Ja pan and China. Japanese busl nessmen were much concerne' lest the premier, Baron Tanaka might become too aggressive il North China. and thus spoil Ja pans trade with Central an' Southern China. Mir. Yamamot is a member of the Seiyukai par ty which the premier heads. an his statement is equivalent to on by the premier himself.

 That was too much. No real monarchist in Germany is willing to recognize Hermine as Empress. An icy silence prevailed until the chairman announced the next order of business.

Parisians Demonstrate
 Against Auto Gas Tax

PARIS, Dec. 29. = Taxpayers for once have been prevented by the police from paying their taxes.
 Many automobile drivers were. !, handled roughly recently when they gathered at one of the city gates and insisted on paying theel lefty "octroi' or customs tax on gasoline being brought into Paris. There is some prospect the dem ontration will help in abolishing the old custom.
 A leading columnist. Georges de la Fourchardiere, substituting humorous action for economic ar-s gument, proved the tax is a deads , letter by assembling hundreds of indignant drivers at the gate ona a Sunday evening, with large' squads Of police on hand to watch, to show officials they couldn't collect the tax if they wanted to.
 The drivers threw away their little green slips entitling them to bring back as many gallons of gas as they took out. They de- manded the officials accept pay-s ment on the gas with which they returned. It would have taken { ! a dozen men many hours to meas
 ure the gas and collect the tax, so on orders from high officials they waved the drivers away and
 refused to collect the tax.

But Chang has apparently decided to "be good" again. He invited MT. Yamamoto to visit him in Picking. and enter tained him with high honors. Peace has been restored between Japan and the Dictator Chang.
