BHUTAN TREATY BLOCKS
TROUBLE WITH TIBET
British Diplomatic Stroke Insures
Peace Among States in
Himalayas
CALCUTTA, May 21.—There can be
little doubt, says the Pioneer, that the
treaty recently concluded with Bhu
tan will go far toward preventing
complications in years to come on the
northeast fiontier of India. The po
sition now is that the Maharaja Sir
Ugyen Wangehuk has not only had
his subsidy doubled but that he has
also formally agreed to accept the ad
vice and guidance of the British gov
ernment in regard to his relations
with outside, states. As Bhutan is
bounded on the north by Tibet it is
obvious that troublesome questions
might have arisen in the near future
in that direction, l.bassa is dominated
for the moment by the Chinese, and
whatever solution may be found of
the difficulty created by the flights of
the Dalai Lama it is most undesir
able that any pressure should be put
upon Bhutan by tin' Peking govern
ment. Tibetans and Bhutanese have
no cause of quarrel and they have
usually maintained friendly relations;
but if Chinese officials with military
escorts were to be placd along the
border there would inevitably be fric
tion.
Too much importance need not be
attached to the intrigues which were
begun last year by the Amban Lion,
wlio believed that he could make Chin
eaa Influence supreme in Bhutan: but.
at the. same time, action of this kind
cannot be altogether disregarded. It
is a sign that if Tibet is reduced to
the status o,f nn ordinary province of
china, the Pekinsk government will re-
The Southern California Edison

next two yearn. This Will be the
first unit. The company has addi
tional plans that Will increase the
size of the plant until a total of $6,
--' VV ill Im \*• ui-i'ii cX jiriim'ii.
In and around the city a greal
deal of building activity is very
much In evidence. A recent canvass
of the city, .street by street, by the
I'iiw shows that $8,933,760 is now
being expended along this line, and
this includes only the buildings
under '(instruction, under way be
tween the foundation and the finish,
so to speak.
In a review of conditions a re
markable growth Is shown. Last
year the Press found houses and en
terprises being built amounting to
vive nld claims to sovereignty over the
various Himalayan .states. Nothing is
easier than to raise Questions relating
to boundaries, for example, and there
might be attempts to coerce this or
that state on the ground that it owed
suzerainty to the emperor of China.
Buch a course of action towards Bhu
tan has now been made impossible.
If there is any intoxication of fresh
intrigues, the Maharaja has the treaty
to fall back upon, and he can con
fidently reject any overtures that may
be made to him. He has an assured
position; and, further, his authority
over his own subjects will have been
strengthened by the regularizing: of
his relations with the British govern
ment.

NEGRESS CREATES FURORE
IN PARIS AS CHAUFFEUR
Rita Yape Sounkourorv Native of
Senegal, Drives Car
WASHINGTON, May 21.—A core
spondent writes from Paris that "the
first colored 'chiiuffeuse' lias appeared
on the streets of Paris." Three years
ago another step toward woman's In
dependence was taken when a Frencjn
woman mounted the box of the popu
lar one-horse cab. According to
French parlance, she is called the
"femme cochene." Modestly "uni
formed in a small sailor hat and loose
coat, thli woman coachman for the
first few months was the cynosure ot
all eyes, and a. daily target for the
small boy and the opposition uoach
man, both of wiiom assailed her with
wordy arrows some of which were
steeped in sarcasm or abuse.
"At the time, however, the predic
tions were general that this new fad,
as many called it, would soon die out.
Little by HttLe the ranks ot the wom
an cab driver* were extended. The
femme cochete now has at her side
the licensed 'chauffeuse.' For some
time a number of women with chic
uniforms have been in charge of pub
lic automobiles. The young- colored
'chauffeuse' w!ho has proved herself
capable of managing a taxicab is Rita
Yape Sounkouaon. She was born in
St. Louis, Senegal. From the African
point of view she is a great beauty."
