|JAPAN'S PLANS TOLD IN STORY
 28 YEARS AGO
Revealed During Russo Japanese Peace Confer
 enCe at Portsmouth

New York - (UP) - A predic- tion of Japanese conquest of Man. churia remarkably similar to more recent prophecies of the policies of Nippon in Asia was contained in a dispatch printed in the New York Herald 28 years ago from Portsmouth, N. H., where Pres1- dent Theodore Roosevelt headed the Peace Commission ending the Russo-Japanese war.
 The correspondent, whose article was printed on August 6, 1905 said "information on which this dispatch Is based comes from high and unimpeachable sources-fron authority which would create sur prise were I at liberty to identify it."
 The dispatch, in part, follows:
 The Dispatch
 There is to be a Japanese em. pire on the mainland of Asia. Ii Is to embrace Corea and Manchu' ria and probably part of Siberia The Japan of the present is mere island kingdom. The Japar of the future is to rule the littora of the northern Asiatic continent reaching far into the interior comprising vast, fertile and popu' lous provinces.

 "Japan's sea is to be the heart the center of this new empire That sea is to become a Japanese lake, Japan is to dominate it anc all the lands lying about it.
 National Safety
 "The dominance of the Japa. nese sea and it's dominance or all sides. the Japanese hold, is ab. solutely essential to their nationa safety.
 "The pretension the Japanese put forth as to the Sea of Japan is not unlike the Monroe Doctrine, which the United States applies t6 the Caribbean Sea. Japan has q Monroe Doctrine of it's own. And the meaning of it is that Japan will view as an unfriendly act any effort on the part of the Euro pean powers to establish thci. sovereignty or to plant their sys- tems on or near the shores of the Sea of JaDan'

 In Superior Court
Atty John H. Cassidy Tells Court Louisiana Company, in Which Senator Eiuey P. Long Had an Interest, Is Now Defnnct

offered no objections to the plain tiff's motion for judgment by de- fault.
 Mir Cassidy said he was given to understand that the Louisiana con- cern was having plenty of activity in that state because Senator Huey r. Long. who recently hit the front pages of the country was believed to have had an interest ip the company.
 While there was activity enough in the south, Mir Cassidy said there Is none in Connecticut. He ex- plained to the court that there has been an ancillary receiver ap- pointed in Stamford for the con- cern which is alleged to have been doing business in Connecticut on a financial statement without filing any securities with the state sec retary to isure. the payments of policies.
 The company, the Union Indem- nifty Insurance Go, was the insurer for an automobile owned by J. w.. Wallis whom Attorney Cassidy was engaged to defend. The plaintiff in the action is Chester L. Gould. The motion for default judgment went off the calendar.

Washington, March 17-(UP)- Congress broke most of it's speed records to pass the $500,00,000 economy bill. but the emergency measure can't become law until af- ter senators have enjoyed a week end of golf. The delay is caused by the house and senate adjournfng last night before Speaker Rainey and vice-President Garner signed the measure. The law requires them to do this while the respec- tive chambers arc in session. Rainey can sign it today. But the senate has recessed until Monday and Garner cannot sign until then. As soon as he signs, the bill will go to the White House where President Roosevelt's signature will make it law.

FRENCH PLAN
 REORGANIZATION OF RAILROADS
Deficits Make Problem Major One for
 Government
By WALLACE CARROLL

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Paris-(UP)-The reorganiza- tion of the French railroads. whose deficits have reached alarming proportions. will be one of the ma jor tasks of the French govern- ment during the coming months.
 In common with the railroads or other nations throughout the world. the receipts and earnings of the French lines have dropped sharply since the depression be- gan.
 The problem directly affects the government, as it has guaranteed the service charges, which the roads themselves cannot meet out of earnings. These charges consist principally in paying the interest on the railways outstanding obli- gations.
 The operating loss of the seven major French lines is officially es- timated at $4S0.000 a day. The to- tai deficit in 1880. when the gov- ernment began guaranteeing serv- ice charges. was $68,O00.0OO. In 1891 1t reached $120,00O,000 and in 1892. S18O,000,000.
