RIGHTS PROPOSAL
PRESENTED CHINA
Gradual REIMBURSEMENT Offer
in Line With PoIicy-U. S.
Gunboat Fired On.

Submission by the American Gov
eminent of proposals to the Chinese
government for the gradual relinquish-
ment Of American extraterritorial
rights in China was announced today
by Secretary Stimson.
The proposals are in line with the
State Departments policy enunciated
last year that the United States was
prepared to negotiate on q method for
REIMBURSEMENT of the treaty rights.
At that time the United States said
REIMBURSEMENT would apply TO desig-
mated territorial areas in China or to
particular kinds Of jurisdiction. such
as civil or criminal rights held under
the treaty. Under these rights, Amer
leans are not subject TO Chinese courts.
The condition attached by the
United States to its policy was that it
must proceed along with the enactment
and effective enforcement of laws by
China based on modern concepts Of
jurisprudence.
Principle Of Transfer.
The proposals Of the American Gov
eminent in the broad sense are based
in part on the principle of transfer of
jurisdiction in all but specified areas.
They are similar TO but not identical
with proposals by the British govern
ment to the Chinese in September.
The proposals were communicated to
Minister VIII of China here and For
eign Minister G. T. Wang at Marking.
Chinese bandits fired upon the U. s..
s. Panay yesterday, while the gunboat

Brown. He added the transaction dated
back several years before he even
thought Of being Postmaster General"
However, he said. he made an In

Benson had paid Dove 5000 on January

Postmaster General. "T. Conley had
been appointed postmaster there by
President Coolidge on April II, 1928, for
a four-year term. There was no pos

Brown reported To Benson that he
could discover no evidence that Dove

WHEAT TARIFF

Distribution of circulars among
grain elevators and farmers in
Nebraska relative to the grain
marketing program of the Federal
Farm Board today drew the fire
of Sam r. McKelvie, wheat mem
Der of the board.
In making public q letter to
Fred A. Marsh, regent Of the Uni
verSity of Nebraska, McKelvie
said:
"The question is, who is re-
spOnSible for these attacks and
who is paying for their circuIa-
ton"
Marsh is said to have been the
author of a full-page advertise,
ment published in the Central
City NebJ Republican. under
date of April 3, entitled: The
Farm Board-The Chain Store;
the American Farmer; the Three.
Way Sword" Representative
Howard CD of Nebraska had
this advertisement inserted in the
Congressional Record.
McKelvie called attention to the
TACT that the State University of
Nebraska receives hundreds of
thousands of dollars of Federal
funds, and adds:
Il might better have expected
that such OutpOuringS would
emanate from the United States
Chamber of Commerce"
OF the tariff. McKelvie said:
THE Farm Board sees no
practical way to make the tariff
on wheat effective, except to re-
duce production to substantially
a domestic consuming basis"

WASHINGTON, D. C., March l3 George Norris of Nebraska is one of the very few United States Se.- ators who, after making speech in that body does not ask for a copy that he may revise his re- marks before they appear in the Congressional Record.
 And this, despite the tact that Norris speaks in the Senate just
 about as often as any Senator. His
 reason is typical of the man:
 "The reporters make a better
 speech for me than I really make myself"
 The practice of revision is con- sidered of the greatest importance
 on both sides of the capitol While it is assumed that man elected to either the Senate or the House has good command of English, it nev- CT is taken for granted. The ut most care is exercised by the corps of reporters to make sure that however faculty in other respects a mans speech may be, it is gram natically correct in the Record. Thus, recently, when Senator
 Gould of Maine became highly ex- cited while defending a colleagues l and roared, T approve of what hs lone and why he done it." he suf. fered no embarrassment when ht read his Congressional Record tht
 next morning. The reporters hac l seen to that.

errors do occur in the Congression- al Record. Not all of these, how ever, can be blamed on the report CTS.
 Theodore F. Shuey, dean of the Senate corps, who has been re- porting debates there for more than a half century, tells of an exper- fence he once had with Senator Gallinger years ago. Gallinger had used the phrase "omnium gather um" in speech. When he noted the error in the Record, he called Shuey and asked what was wrong. Shuey insisted that he had taken it correctly.
 His manuscript proved it. Inves- tigation followed. and it was found that a proof reader had changed il to read "ominus gathering"

Good English

Insistent are these Senate and House reporters that good English 5e used whether member of Con-
 gress desires it or not. Jim Wicks,
 one of the veteran Senate report
 srs, tells this story:
 While making a speech, a Rep- resentative said, That happened to he and l." The reporter chang
 I'd it to read, That happened to him and to me" But when the Representative read his speech later and noted the change, he put it pack to he and r.
 But the reporter had the last chance at the manuscript. Before the speech went to the printer. he finally changed it to read: He and I had that happen to us" The correct word must be used whether the speaker uttered it or not. Thus when a Senator recently picked up law book while speak ing and said: T direct the atten- ton of Senators to this case" the reporter changed the word direct | to invite"
 His reason for so doing was log ical and simple. No Senator car 6irect another Senator, but he can invite his attention.

 PHILADELPHIA,P Pa, March l3.- Give the Phillies cannonading corps some pitching support this year and watch Burt Shottons clut climb into the National League pen nant scramble.
 This is not quite the leadine thought in connection with the 193o major league campaign but it will become that if Shotton has any luck at all in uncovering new hurl- ing strength in the training camp It had been so long since a Phil adelphia National league team led in any major part of the years play that the 1880 Phillies find themselves among the prospective pennant eontenders, all because of the batting punch shown by the 1929 lineup.
 1 That 1929 outfit will be back this year and it will have the same men who blasted the way to six new batting records. There are promises of new batting power, the strong fielding force remains intact and if that pitching help is forth coming there's going to be some pennant chatter in and around Baker field
 Besides leading the league in club hitting with team average of 1909, the 1929 Phillies piled up these records:
 Most total bases (modern record) l-2559. Best previous record since 1900, set by Cards, 241i. in 1922.
 Most long hits-509. Old record 489, by Pirates in 1925. | Most extra bases on long hits 866. Old record, 779, by Cards ir 1925.
 Most home runs-153. Old record 140, by Cubs in 1884.
 Most hits-254, by Lefty" O'Doul ] Old record, 25o, by Rogers Hornsby Cards, in 1922.
 | Most home runs-43, By Chuck Klein. Old record, AZ, by Rogers Hornsby in 1922
 \ Manager Shotton, perhaps witt greater limitations, has approached the brilliant record of Manager Jot Mccarthy of the Cubs.
 Shotton had little more than league franchise when he came ts the Phils three years ago. B, smart trading he acquired ODoul Tommy Thevenow and Pinke. Whitney, and picked up for re markbaly small sums such budding stars as Chuck Klein Don Hurst Tripp Sigman and others.
 Pitchers Lester Sweetland an' Claude Willoughby who combined to win 29 games in 1929 are read. for another hard campaign an' with more help than they hay been accustomed to probably vii do some constructive work.
 Shotton will have park full Q rcokie pitchers at Winter Haven Florida, and expects to find two O three dependabies among them. Tn best young prospect is Harr, Snythe who pitched we'll in seyera games near the close of the l92 season.
 A spurt by the Phillies would b a great tonic to National leagu basehell and certainly would b welcome ca club which hash wen a pennant since 1915.

 He began to pace savagely up and down the room; but now, in a sort of furious-seif communion, he was talking to himself Whats her name? What is she? Where did she come from? By God, I'd kill her yes, with these two hands"-he shook his clenched hands in the air-"if I could find herl'
 Instinctively she shrank farther away from him. He didn't look like Roy now! His face. in it's fury, was almost inhuman. It wasn't a sub ject that she cared to hear him dwell on further, if there was any way of preventing it. He was getting worse and worse He terri fled her.

 He stopped abruptly in mid- stride, staring at something on the flcor-and then, the purple surging into his face, he stopped down to pick it up.
 White with sudden fear, Enid watched him. Yes. she knew what it wasl She remembered now. The hat! She had forgotten 1t It had I fallen on the far side of the desk after it struck the typewriter, and, out of sight there, it had been for gotten.
 ! Roy must have passed it two or three times without noticing it as he had paced up and down-but he had it now. He was coming around the desk toward her with it in his hand. He hadn't even glanced at her.
 What a strange look on his facel It was mottled with fury, and yet he was smiling. She shivered. The smile terrified her more than any, thing else. There was something horrible about it. He shut the door leading into the hall now He l ocked it and put the key in his pocket.
