|ARNnSTICE BETWEEN
JAPS AND Chinese
IS Held PROBABLE
ParIeys Are Expected to Begin
Shortly; Invaders Keep
Close Watch

Tokyo, Jan. 0.-(R-Marshal Chang
asiao- Liang, military ruler of North
China, was reported Monday to have
intimAted his readiness to negotiate
an armistice between Japanese and
Chinese forces at Shanhaikwan.
Then Rengo agency and other Japa.
nese news dispatches from Tientsin,
China, reported the marshal's appar-
ent readiness and said Japanese ex-
pected the parleys to be opened
shortly.
After the battle Of shanhaikwan,
Chinese official reports said Marshal
Chang served notice on the Japanese
that he did not care to deal with them
and requested that they send any
communications to the Marking gov
eminent.
japanese military leaders, however,
were closely watching movements Of
Marshal Chang's troops south OF
Shanhaikwan and In eastern Jeho.
province.
Despite Japan,s professions Of Gag
erness for q localized settlement at
Shanhaikwan. foreign office spokes-
man indicated that Japan intends to
insist on terms likely to have q far
reaching effect In North China, in
volving treaties to which other pow
ers. including the United States, were
parties.
Would Restrict Movement
Any settlement. said the spokesman,
must include . revival Of restrictions
on Chinese military movements en-
bodied in the military provisions Of
the Boxer protocol. These were con-
tanned in identical notes exchanged
between Japan, France, Britain. italy.
and Germany and China from July Is
to 10, 1902.
They denied the Chinese the right
to station or march troops within
seven miles Of Tientsin. port Of Peip-
ing. and gave commanders Of foreign
garrisons along the Peiping- Shan
haikwan railway the right to exclude
Chinese troops from Q zone two miles
on either side Of the railway.
The United States did not partici-
pate In these notes, although It signed
the general protocol. sharing the RICH:
to station troops along the railway.
Although authoritative non-Japa-
nese quarters believed It was impos-
sible to enforce these long ineffective
provisions without military force, the
government spokesman declared ia
pan had no intention Of invading
North China for this purpose.
Plan Spring 'Clean-Up'
The Tokyo government continued to
profess hope that the Shanhaikwan
conflict would be localized and that
major operations would be postponed
until spring ct least. Then, 1t ad-
mitted, the Japanese army fully in

REDUCE RATES ON
Ignite PRODUCT
Briquettes to Pay Lower Tariff
Under Decision Of Rail-
road Board

New lower rates, representing about
a 20 per cent reduction, on shipments
of Ignite coal briquettes within the
state have been ordered by the board
of railroad commissioners Of North
Dakota.
The board found the present intra-
state rates unreasonable" and rea-
sonable rates are prescribed In the
decision announced Monday. The new
rates will go into effect Feb. /.
The action for lower rates was
brought by the Lehigh Briquetting
company against the Chicago &
Northwestern railway and other rail-
roads just year ago. A hearing was
held here on Sept. 26. The general
sales offices of the Lehigh company
are at Fargo.
The Lehigh company, according to
Ia review of the case. insisted that its
briquettes should get the same rate
as raw Ignite because they are man
ufactured from Ignite.
The contention advanced by the
complainant. by inference at least
that We could regard the Lehigh bri-
quoting industry as an infant in
dustry' in prescribing rates is wholly
untenable." the commissions order
said. 1.-The North Dakota railroad
commission has no such power. nor in
fact. has the state Of North Dakota
any such power"
The board in its conclusions said
that the rates applicable on raw lig-
mite which Is a fuel Of high moisture
content, low heat value and other UNI
desirable characteristics. are not the
proper measure for rates on Ignite
coal briouettes which are high grade
fuel with no moisture content. having
heat value approximately twice that
of raw Ignite"

BUG STAR PROVES
SIZE DOESN'T TELL
Lloyd Waner, Too Little for
Seals, National League
"Strong Man."
BY M. A. FISHMAN,


~ TTSBURGH, February 4-Lloyd
- Waner, too frail to play in the
minor league, IS one of the
strong men" in John Heydler's
circuit in so far as slugging averages
are concerned.
The story goes that little poison, "
Pittsburgh centerhelder, was turned
loose by the San Francisco Seals in
1926 because the management feared he
could not bear up under the strain, due
to his slight build. He weighs only
145 pounds and Is feet inches in
height.
Statistics reveal Waner owns q COM
bined batting mark Of .34l for the six
years he has been playing In the Ma
tional League.
Undaunted by his setback in San
Francisco, Waner came to Pittsburgh
to visit his brother, Paul, then playing
his first season with the Corsairs.
Bill McKechnie, Buc's manager in
1926, told Lloyd to don a uniform and
practice with the team. The speed and
clever work Of Lloyd impressed Nc
Kechnie
McKechnie called Paul aside and
asked him what he thought Of his
brothers chances in the big show.
Take it from me-" replied Paul, hes
going to become better ball player
than I am. What is more, he Is the
faster Of the two Of us and If he ever
gets chance there'u be no stopping
him"
Lloyd was sent to the Pirate farm at
Columbia, S. c. He was recalled at
the end Of the 1926 campaign and be-
came regular in 1927.
The junior member of the Waner act
has participated in grand total of $40
National League games. His per season
average shows 1876 hits, 21 two-baggers,
II triples, 3 home runs and $50 stolen
bases. In fielding he has averaged AL
chances, including IS assists against 7
errors a season. His all-major figure Is
1882, or seven points better than the
seven-year record Of his brother.
And Lloyd missed nearly 100 games
In 1890 because Of illness.
