LATEST PHOTO OF PRESIDENT OF CHINA.
NATURE OF CHINA'S
REPLY IS UNKNOWN
No Information Regarding Ul
timatum Received by Jap
anese Foreign Office.
ACTION IN EVENT OF OPEN
RUPTURE IS DECIDED UPON
Semi-Official Press Says Nipponese j
Would Seize Stragetic Points
I
and Railroads.
TOKIO, May S. -The Japanese foreign
office announced this morning that it had
received no information as to the nature
of China's reply to Japan's ultimatum.
The semi-official press publishes to
day an outline of a program said to ;
have been decided upon by thf> govern- j
mont for military and naval action i
against China in the ev^nt. now re- !
garded as unlikely, that an open rup- !
ture should occur. The program as j
published provides for the occupation
by Japanese forces of the centers of
wealth and political power of China.
This penetration of Chinese territory
would continue until the demands of
Japan were granted.
Japan's aim in these operations would
be to avoid bloodshed if possible. Chi
nese troops would be captured and dis
armed. and not fired upon unless they
offered active resistance.
Would Seize Railroads.
For the operations in the north of
China, according to this program, strong
forces would be landed in the Gulf of
Pechili to occupy Peking, Tientsin and
other important points and seize the
railroads. In the south important
moves would be made jointly by the
army and navy. Chinese vessels would
be swept from the coast. The chief
base of operations would be established
at Tientsin.
It is generally estimated l.ere that
China has about 4.~?0,o0o troops under
arms, 300.000 having had modern mili
tary training, arid the remainder be
longing to the old school.
The general staff has arranged to
requisition all a Japanese steamers of
more than l.ooo tons in case of neces
sity. Plans also have been made to
escort Rki Hioki. Japanese minister tc
China, from Peking to Tientsin.
Dr. Roy D. Adams Appointed.
The Commissioners have appointed
Dr. Roy D. Adams a member of the
allopathic board of medical examiners
of the District of Columbia, to succeed
Dr. George C. Ober, who recently re
signed. The resignations of Dr. J. B.
G. Custis and B. F. Leighton as mem
bers of the board <>f medical super
visors have been received by the Dis
trict heads, and appointments to these
vacancies probably will be made at an
early date.
The Chief Problem Overcome.
From JiK^re.
"I've taken the most important step j
toward building a fashionable apart- i
ment house."
"Let the contract, have you?"
"No. I've selected a fancy name for
the building "
Which, to Be Decided Later.
Fw>m th* Boston Traos rlpt.
She?But if I can't live on my Income
and you can't live on yours, where would

He (thoughtfully)?Well, by putting our

SENTENCED TO TWO YEAES.
Margaret Stout, Convicted of Keep
ing a Disorderly House. Out on Bail.
Margaret Stout, convicted of keeping
;? disorderly house, was sentenced to
day by Chief Justice Covington to serve
t wo years at Occoquan. Tl\f maximum I
sentence provided by law is one year,
but as there were two counts to the
indictment the court imposed the max
imum in each, one to follow at the ex
piration of the other. An appeal was
rioted and the accused released on $4,
000 bail.
In overruling the motion for an arrest
of judgment, on the contention that the
Kenyon law superseded the common
law charge of keeping a disorderly
house. Chief Justice Covington took oc
casion to say that he was in Congress
when the Kenyon law- was enacted and
he is satisfied that it was never in
tended to change the common law
crime of keeping a bawdy house.
Attorneys Robert I. Miller and Hay
den Johnson represented the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney Haw
ken conducted the prosecution.

Col. Roosevelt Terms Sinking of
Liner "Murderous Piracy.''
SYRACUSE, N. Y.. May 8.?Theodore
Roosevelt, former F'resident of the tTnited
States, after learning details of the sink
ing of the Lusitania late last night, made
this statement:
"This represents not merely piracy, but
piracy on a vaster scale of murder than
any old-time pirate ever practiced. This
is the warfare which destroyed l^ouvain
and Dinant and hundreds of men, women
and children in Belgium. It is warfare
against innocent men, women and chil
dren traveling on the ocean, and to our
fellow-countrywomen, who are among the
sufferers.
"It seems inconceivable that we can re
frain from taking action in this matter,
for we owe it not only to humanity, but
to our own national self-respect."
