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.

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

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.

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,

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.

the attitude of the Government toward
tne railroads.

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

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.
