KNOX AWAITING REPLIES CHAMORRO IS SURPRISED Official Action on Manchurian Kail road Question "Will Require Time for Careful Consitleraton by Governments. WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. Baron T.chida, the new Japanese Ambassador, it is? be lieved, has expressed the views of hie government on the "open door question in an interview recently published in Tokio, in the course of "which he is re ported to have said: "America's stand with regard to the preservation of peace and integrity of China hap been and will be exactly iden tical with ours. We must understand that America's policy toward Japan and the. Orient as a whole always has been on the same peaceful route." This expression by Baj-on Uchida, .which hits jus become known here, is highly atifactory to the officials of the State Ijopartment, which has not 're ceived any direct official expression fromt foreign governments interested regarding Secretary Knox recent note suggesting the neutralization of Manchurian rail ways. Officials refuse to attach much importance to the views of some of the foreign newspapers unfavorable to the proposition. In some instances the newspapers are known not to be in the confidence of their Kovornments nor to exercise any potent Influence in shaping their policies. This is believed to be true as to the Japanese pnesj. It is known at the State Department that Mr. Knox neutralization suggestion i receiving most careful consideration in the chancellories of the powers interested and because of the exceptional importance of the matter, it is not thought replies reasonably can be expected for some time. The department entertains no doubt of the wisdon of taking the Manchurian railways out of Kastern politics, thus minimizing the danger of war, and. be lieves no country would profit by euch a course more than Japan. (EllMAX V FAVOUS KNOX I LAX Belief It That MaiwJiurian Scttle- i jnent Will Take Time. BERLIN, Jan. 12. The German gov ernment has expressed its agreement to the proposal of Secretary Knox for the neutralization of the Manchurian railways, in the same sense that Great Britain lias approved. Germany un derstanda that Great Britain has ex pressed its fundamental agreement with the proposition, which fully recognizes the principles of the "open door and equal rights for all.' These have been always the fouitdatlon of the German policy in Eastern Asia. ft is believed in German circles, how ever, that the subject will occupy the attention of the various governments interested for a long time before a final settlement of the question is reac hed. MINERS PREPARE DEMANDS Coal PrttTS AVill Advance, Operators Say, if Measure Is t.ranted. OHH'WlJO. Jan. J2- .'al minors of the t'nittMl States are preparing: to reopen tlie qurftioti of wages after January 20. and a. demand for increased pay is expected. It may cause a marked advance in the present prices of coal. The stand taken by the miners, that they need higher waives because of the increased cost, of living, comes a a p;irt of tle general movement of organized labor bejrun by the switchmen and railroad brotherhoods. Tlie movement lias already spread to in clude practically all branches of railroad la bor. "It is true that the mineworkers will take lip the question of vrafiep." said John Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago fed eration of Labor yesterday. "I do not see the necessity of hipher-priced coal, even if the miners cet increased pay. When coal that costs $7.50 a ton in the 1'nited States can Je bought for S3.20 in Canada, there is something more than waes boosting the price." The coal men take a different view. They cannot figure how the miners can be paid more money and coal remain at pres ent prices. BIG SAWMILL TO REOPEN KoMimption at Toledo, Long Await ed, Promised to Vaquiua Bay. . TOUHJLX1. Or.. Jan. 12. Lewis Mont gomery, of the firm of Mann & Montgom ery, of Portland, owners of the Kir & Spruce Lumber Oomp.iny of this place, ar rived last evening and are making prep arations for operating their large sawmill nt this place. Mr. Montgomery brought with him an engineer and several timber cruisers. They will begin immediately to put the mill In running order and expect , to begin sawing within two weeks. They will also start the logging camps. The company now hat about 5,0(M.00O feet of logs cut, half being in the water. Two years ago this mill shut down shortly after rebuilding the mill here, running the logging camps one season and build ing considerable logging railroad from tidewater into the timber. The resump tion of work has long been awaited by the people on this bay, as it means a arge payroll and many men put to work. The mill has a capacity of 100.000 feet of lumber a day. if run to its full ca pacity, but it the intention of the com pany to cut less than half that amount at present.

CURTISS GOES FASTEST Crowd or 50,000 Sees Sport of Avia tors on Perfect Day for Flights. Frenchman's AVife Watches From Balloon Basket. (Continued From First Paue.) aviation, said Courtland F. Biehop. president of the Aero Club of America. "We ought to have the altitude record broken today.' A minute later Faulhan rose in the air. Curtiss had felt the hishcrcurrents and come down. Hamilton had landed tame ly. Paulhan pointed north, went up 1000 feet, passed over the center of the field again, as if to take another last look at the faces below him, then turned north and swept up again. . By this time there, was Just one thing in all the universe for the crowd the man and his air-conquering- machine, rapidly becoming a speck In the gather ins twilight. At an estimated lieight of 1300 feet Paulhan described, a great circle, as if feeling the currents. Me was a nrile and a half from the camp, still climb ing. ' High X'p, Still Climbing. Two thousand feet and still climbing. Sense of distance from earth was loet almost. Had the void swallowed the man and his little wings, no on would have been surprised. The machine became plainer to the view. Paulhan was ."descending. He swept easily In f ront of the grandstand, after being nearly 51 minutes In the air. As he leaped from his machine, with cheeks glowing and eyes flashing, he was seized by his friends and carried to the edge of the grandstand, where he bared his bead to the cheers tat came in his honor. From the basket of a balloon Madame Pauhhan watched her husband's flight afar. From behind the grandstand the dirigible driven by Lincoln Beachey had risen over the field and gone after the balloon, as a tug after a tow in a rough sea, Paulhan was trying out his bi plane for the big qualifying" tests. Attendance Estimated at 50,000. The third -day of the meet San San Diego day was perfect. The crowds poured in all day until the esti mated attendance was 50,000. Down the fence line, guarded by the 300 deputy sheriffs, the crowd surged for a mile to the gates. Stretched out before the eyes of these fascinated people lay a plateau dotted with the newest designs in aircraft. Near one of the lower fences Paul han, hidden from the other aviators, was tinkering with a new engine. Toward noon Miscarol, in a Bleriot monoplane, flew down the far end of the course and whetted the appetite of the crowd. Paulhan had been strain ing to get away in the air all morn ing, and shortly after noon began preparations in earnest. His new en gine proved to his . satisfaction under repeated tests. A cyclone was gener ated by the blade that lifted the hair of four men bending at the tail. Curtiss Tries for Keeord. At 2 o'clock things began to happen. The balloons and the dirigibles driven by Kin a ben k h ue and B eac hey c ro wded o ve r the. course. The Curtiss machines were dragged to the white marked starting place In front of the judges' stand. The maneuvering of the balloons and dirigiblee lifted the crowd to a wild spirit of shout ing and waving. Ourtiss issued from his tent and the megaphone announced that he would try for the speed record of the course. After a short trial flight he in creased his speed to the rate of 434 miles an hour. The time given for the course of more than a mile and a half was 2:13 3-5. No sooner bad Curtiss alighted than Paulhan's manager announced tiiat the Frenchman would feek to take the speed honor from the American. The course was cleared with difficulty ajid Paulhan started again. It wa? seen that his en gine had less power. His turns were not so sharp. The result of the second lap. which he designated as the one that he wished timed, was 14 seconds under Cur tiss" record. The Frenchman kept on flying, however, until he had gone round the course six times. American Is Unbeaten. On none of his rounds did Paulhan come up to the record made by Curtiss. He covered more than eight miles in this flight. Pleased by his victory, Curtis came out on the course again. He went up to feel of the air currents, planning a high flight. At th height of 100 feet he cir III ift - III , ilvr ' 'yfyJS ' Mat C. Goodwin. t ff-rrTffatraT ' I cled twice round the course. Charles K. Hamilton, in a' Curtiss machine, left the ground soon after, in a qualifying flight but came down after a few minutes of erratic circling. The Paulhan altitude flight and a half circle of the field by Curtiss with Harmon as passenger wound up the programme. With these events the meet now is fairly under way. Including the local airships, there are 3S entries- on the field. These are all that qualified of the original 75, except a few designs without engines that stand in sheds near the entrance. Charles F. Johnson, of San Francisco, was the latest arrival. His- Curtiss ma chine was towed to the field late in the day but he said that both he and Hamil ton, the other Curtiss aviator, probably would not attempt serious flights until late in the week, as the best engines and parts must go to the glory of Curtiss. BALl.OQXS SOAR OVVK OCEAN Acrona ts II are Narrow Escape From Impromptu IMp, .L.OS ANGEIJSS, Jan. 12. Two of the three balloons that ascended from the aero grounds at Huntington Park today the Iick Ferris ajid the , Peoria made voyages out to sea. The Peoria, at an altitude of several thousand feet, floated out three miles beyond the shore and, descending to find a current to briny it back, came down so near the surface of the ocean that F. H. Crowell and Cap tain J. C. Mars, the aeronauts aboard, came near having to discard their cloth ing to avoid taking a salt water bath. Their baskert was just 35 feet above the waves all the way In and they were forced to throw overboard every ounce of surplus weight to keep even that height. The Dick Ferris, with Charles F. Wil lard. the aviator, acting as pilot, took Captain H. "V". Slotterbeck, of Hhe Cali fornia Signal Corrs. and four other pas sengers six miles on the way to Catalina Island and returned safely without any of the exciting experiences encountered by the Peoria. The voyages above the ocean, the first ever taken deliberately on this coast, were made possible by the observations of Captain Slotterbeck. ISeorge B. Har rison and other aeronauts, who found that opposite air currants were to be found at various altitudes. These cur rents, they asserted, never varied, and Mars and Willard determined to test the accuracy of their observations. The trip out over the sea and safely back again was the result. Among the passengers aboard the Peoria when it started was Miss Gertrude Kanne, sister of Frank Kanne, an aero nautic expert here for the aviation meet. It was found that the basket was over weighted for the contemplated sea voy age and a landing was made just before the ocean shore was reached. Here Miss Kanne and her brother disembarked and the balloon ascended again. Mme. Paulhan. wife of the French aviator, who broke the height records to day, was delighted at her experience as a passenger in Clifford Harmon's balloon, the New York, which sailed from Hunt ington Park and landed in the center of the aviation field at Dominguez. It was Mme. Paulhan's first trip In a balloon and she had the unique experience of a conversation with her husband while in the air. Paulhan flew out to meet the balloon in one of his Farman biplanes and all the way In he circulated around and around the big spherical, conversing with the occupants of the basket. DESERTER KNOWN AS THIEF Iri.soner Is Identified as Man Who Held X'p Ca-fe. SALT LAKE, Jan. 12.

MAINTAIN POLICY URGED Colorado Ielcsrutes May Oppose Ites olution Adopted Party Politics Opposed Federal Control of ti razing Land Sought. DEN-VER, Colo., Jan. 12. In a reso lution teeming with laudation, the Na tional Livestock Association today in dorsed the policies of ex-Chief For ester Pinchot. Further, the commenda tory document demands a continuation of the Pinchot policies by his successor. It also urges Federal control of public grazing lands with a lease law adequate to protect the cattlemen. The resolu tlon typifies Pinchot's administration as "high-minded and excellent."- Other resolutions introduced com mend the work of the Department of Agriculture, condemn the "unfair dis crimination" of the Payne tariff bill and the oleomargarine bill, urge the an pointment of a nonpartisan tariff com mission, and authorize a petition to the Interstate Commerce Commission to re duce terminal charges on livestock at Chicago. In an address on railroad rates, S, H. Cowan, of Fort Worth. Tex., at tacked the Interstate Commerce Court, recommended by President Taft. declar ing that the law would bo emascula-teri by turning over to the Department of justice the defense of all cases brought against tne decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Party Work Opposed. James Callan, president of the Texas Cattle-Raisers' Association, urged the stoc.kmen to break loose from party bonds and support those candidates pledged to the interests of the livestock industry. Many governmental reforms are de manaea in resolutions presented for adoption. Railroad rate legislation formed the basis of the morning dis cussion. The granting of power to the interstate Commerce Commission to re view classifications, to annul changes in regulations, and to institute pro ceedings on its own motion, as recom mended by President Taft, are favored but tne resolutions oppose the appoint ment of an Interstate Commerce Court The Pinchot administration of the rorest bervlce is indorsed, and recom mendations are made for a lease law governing the use of public lands for grazing. The resolutions also favor the continuation of tlfe fight against free niaes. S. H. Cowan, of Fort Worth. Tex. discussed railroad rate legislation and the attitude of the Government toward tne railroads. "The Future of the Livestock Indus try in the Range Country" was the sub Ject of an address by Joseph M. Carr. a. v. aieivin. chief of the Bureau o Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture, spoke on "Sanitary Con ciltlons of Our Livestock," and Issa lammura. royal commissioner of live stock industry of Japan, discussed Japa nese meinoas or stocKgrowing. Federal Control Wanted. A fltrong plea for the scientific use of tne open range was made before the American Livestock Association by Dwight B. Heard,, of Phoenix. Ariz. He declared that forestry, irrigation and grazing were inseparable and that the only hope for grazers using the public lands was in Federal control of the open range. The only fight of the convention will be made tomorrow on a resolution framed along the lines of Mr. Heard's address and referred to the resolutions committee. The indorsement of the Pinchot administration will meet with violent opposition from the Colorado delegates. J". J. E. Gavin spoke of evolution of the farm and the range and Herbert W. Mumford, of the Illinois Agricultural College, delivered an address on cattle raising. Issa Taminura. royal commis sioner of livestock industry of Japan, spoke on the livestock industry in ITapan. Kstrada's General Expected to Take Town XTnopposetl March Across Coutj t r y Cond ucted i n AVa y to Deceive Government. BLUEPIELBS, Jan. General Chamorro telegraphs that a decisive battle will be fought at Acoyapa. His message, now made public, was sent on Monday last. At that time 3000 pro visionals with 20 cannon and eight rapid-fire guns had been concentrated and- were moving on the government forces entrenched at Acoyapa. Earlier reports that General Mena had occupied Acoyapa unopposed were erroneous and grew out of the fact that an advance guard of 400 provisionals reconnoitered In that vicinity. They did not enter the town. The recent official statements based on messages from Granada that there were no in surgent troops in the state of Chon tales, within which Acoyapa is situated. appear to have been promulgated in order to deceive the enemy into believ ing that the insurgents were Inactive. Correspondents who left for the front today were Informed that the expected battle" would not take place before a week or ten days. Opposition Was Not Kxpccted. t'hamorro's message came as a sur- price to those who are thoroughly in formed of the situation. There is high authority for the statement that Cna- morro expected to march unopposed to Managua. The movements of the troops, culmi nating in the concentration before Acoyapa, began three weeks ago, im mediately after the battle of Recreo. General Mena with 1000 men proceeded up the Rama River, Generals Masis and Correo struck into the west, follow ing the Micox River, while General Chamorro moved up the Siquia River. Both sides of these rivers were scouted as the troops proceeded. Abundant Food for Troops. . General Chamorro emerged at the town of La Manga, while Masis and Correo made their way to La Libertad. This maneuver, with that , of General Mena, accomplished the object of ascer taining that the country afforded hun dreds of head of cattle. General Chamorro recently telegraphed that he needed no food supplies from Blue fields, as ample subsistence was obtain able along the "line of march. Good roads lead from La Libertad and La Manga to Acoyapa and thence to Managua. They traversed generally a grazing country, affording in the dry season hard footing. It is a three days" march from Acoyapa to Managua. EXPRESS RATES DEFENDED Officials Say Expenditures Iake Kate Advances Xecessary. CHICAGO, 'Jan. 12. Increased cost of handling express packages, as a result of higher wages and enlargement of traffic facilities were pleaded by offi cials of the express companies, at the hearing before the Illinois Railroad and Warehouse Commission, as a justification for advances of nearly 70 per cent in the rates out of Chicago. This defense was made in the face of the 300 per cent "mel on recently cut by the Wells-Fargo Company. J. C. Zimmerman, general manager of the Adams Express Company, and J. H. Bradley, vice-president and traffic man ager of the American Company, were wit nesses for the company. The testimony was largely in rebuttal to that introduced at previous hearings by Chicago mer chants who filed complaints against the express companies on account of the ad vance in rates charged department stores for deliver of packages to the suburbs. After having been in effect for 15 years the rate of 30 cents per hundred pounds was advanced in February, 1907. to 40 cents and in September, 1908, to 50 cents. 140 CREWS NEAR STRIKE 4000 -French Xewfoundland Fisher men at Outs AVitU Masters.
