KIA CHOW WILL
BE RETURNED TO
CHINA BY JAPAN
Nipponese Agree to Give Up
Territory Wrested From
Germans.
ASK NO RESERVATIONS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—Japan agreed
today to return to China, without reser
vations, the former German leased ter
ritory of Kia Chow, in Shantung prov
ince, which the Japanese have occupied
since driving out the Germans during
the war.
The concession by Japan, although ad
mittedly of secondary importance to the
main issue of the Shantung Railway is
regarded as a substantial one and marks
a distinct forward step in the adjust
ment of the whole Shantung question.
REACH AGREEMENT
AFTER LONG DISCUSSION.
The agreement was reached today
after lengthy discussion between the
Japanese and Chinese in the twenty
sixth meeting of the delegation on the
Shantung iasue.
The Japanese were reluctant to consent
to the return of the leasehold without
guarantees, but in the end agreed. The
Chinese, in return, pledged themselves to
administer the area fairly to all foreign
powers and specifically the Chinese
pledged their word they would not dis
criminate against Japanese in the ad
ministration of the economic affairs of
the territory.
The two delegations meet again on
Monday to discuss mining privileges in
the province, communication rights and
the administration of the salt tax—the
three remaining issues aside from the
principal one of the railroad. Both sides
now are awaiting advices from Pekin
and Tokio on the alternative proposals,
which are expected to settle the railroad
issue.
CONFERENCE TAKES UP
EAR EASTERN QUESCTIO.VS.
Having gone as far as possible in the
completion of the new naval treaty with
outhearlng from Tokio, the five powers
dropped naval affairs for the time be
ing today and the conference again took
up the tangled skein of Far Eastern
questions.
Undeterred by the known opposition of
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan, the Chinese delegates who have
been patiently biding their time for a
month were prepared to take advanatge
of the first opportunity to press for con
sideration the famous twenty-one de
mands.
Elihu Root’s assertion that the twenty
one demands had no place in the con
ference and the plain statement from
M. Hanihara. the Japanese vice minister
of foreign affairs, that if China brought
up the twenty-one demands, Japan would ‘
dispose of them in a few minutes,” have
loot weakened Chinese resolve.
“China herself was given only forty
eight hours to accept the twenty-one '
demands under a threat of war,” blandly j
explained Dr. Wang, one of the senior
delegates from China.
“Surely the conference cannot object
to a similar period o f consideration here
in the tranquility of Washington.”
The Chinese and Japanese delegates
went into sessions at the Pan-American
building shortly before 11 o'clock to j
discuss the fixing of a definite date on :
which the Kiao Chow leasehold would
be turned over to China. If successful
at reaching a decision the conferees
planned then to take up the discussion
of mining reports in the province.

“Capitol avenue from Maryland street

“The congested points of traffic, as
determined by the commitee are as fol
lows :
“From Delaware street over Massa
chusetts avenue to the junction of Mas
sachusetts avenue, Pennsylvania and
Ohio streets; Massachusetts avenue, Penn
sylvania and Ohio streets, junction;
Pennsylvania street from Ohio street to

Ilinois street from Washington street to
Ohio street; Illinois street, Ohio strict
and Indiana avenue, function; Ohio
street from Illinois street to Pennsylvania
street; Meridian and Washington streets,
junction.
MANY TURNS
NECESSARY.
“After a careful investigation and
study the committee feels that it is im
practical to eliminate many of the turns
on Washington street until conditions
make it practical to connect one or more
existing car lines, thus creating through
lines from one part of the city to an
other. In the opinion of the coinmitttee
this latter move is not practical until
after the elevation of the railroad cross
ings at grades now existing on the
south and west sides of the city, as a
delay occurring at these crossings would
result in tying up not only the cars on
the lines now crossing the tracks at
grades but would also affect the cars
on those lines with which they might
be connected.
“Takiiig these facts Into consideration
the committee endeavored to route the
cars over the various tracks already in
the downtown district so as to distribute
over each block as equally as possible
the number of cars passing through tbe
congested district each hour.
TURNOUT IS
RECOMMENDED.
“In order to accomplish this the com
mittee recommends that a turnout from
East Washington street north into
Pennsylvania street be installed at
Washington and Pennsylvania streets,
that the following car lines be rerouted,
and that no changes be made on any of
the other lines.”
The routing changes are outlined in the
report at this point as they have been
given.
If the recommendations for rerouting
the six lines are carried out, the report
says the result will be the “redffetion in
the number of cars per hour on Wash
ington street, between Delaware and
Pennsylvania, from 130 to 129; on Wash
ington street between Pennsylvania and
Meridian, from 141 to 102; on Washington
street between Meridian and Illinois,
from 120 to 80; on Illinois street between
Washington and Ohio, from 182 to 110;
on Ohio street between Illinois and Penn
sylvania, from 83 to 30.
“The cars diverted from these streets
are routed over other streets thus, as
previously mentioned In this report,
equalizing the traffic In tho various
blocks of the congested district.
VARIOUS MANS
CONSIDERED,
“The during its , session,
had various plans and suggestions of
fered by different organizations and in
dividuals, to all of which, as well as lo
thn numerous suggestions made by the
members of the committee, careful
thought and study was given. The com
mittee feels, taking into consideration the
physical condition of the city and tiie
present financial condition of the street
car company, that the above recommen
dations are the most practical solution
of the problem that can be reached at
this time.
“The committee further recommends
that the proper city officials consider
the placing of additional safety zones and
loading stations at such junction points
where it is practical, for cars continuing
on the through or straight tracks to
load at far side of the intersecting street,
thus allowing the cars turning at that
point to load on the near side of the
intersecting street or avenue and con
tinue on their way without being de
layed by cars opearting on the through
tracks. This plan is now being success
fully operated in Washington, L>. C. and
Kansas City. Mo.
"The committee earnestly recommends
that the work of elevating all railroad
crossings within the city limits he vig
orously pushed forward and completed ns
soon as conditions will permit, thus re
moving the chief obstacle to the joining
of car lines on one side of the city with
those on another side..
“The committee also recommends that
the public service commission be asked
to prevent the movement of interurban
freight cars and stock cars through the
city street's between the hours of 7 a. m.
to S:3O a. m., and from 4:30 p. m. to
G:3O p. in., thus leaving the tracks free
during the rush hours for the movement
of cars carrying passengers.
propose partial
CKOSSTOWN SERVICE,
“And, the committee suggests as a
further means of relieving passenger con
gestion in the downtown districts, that a
partial crosstown service be provided by
operating the fairgrounds line across
Thirty-Fourth street to Illinois street,
and thence to the downtown districts, in
stead of down College avenue, to take
place of the cars shifted to Illinois
street.”

PRICE BOUND OVER
TO GRAND JURY
Garage Deal Leads to False
Pretenses Charge.
t Fred I'rice, 133 J North La Salle street,
was bound over to the grand Jury by
Judge Delbert (>. Wllinc-th today In city
: court on the charge of obtaining money
| tinder false pretenses. Brice's bond was
fixed at $750. lie was arrested more than
J a month ago on an affidavit sworn to by
Elmer McKee, 1521 East Eleventh street,
who claimed his life's .savings, $1,200, had
wiped out in a business deal when
he purchased a garage from Fred ITi *
and Bernard Price, brothers.
The evidence shewed that McKee paid
SBOO to Barnard Price last November for
his interest in the Bird street garage at
30-32 West Vermont street. It was
brought out in the hearing that Bernard
Price lias left the city since selling his
interest in the garage. On Nov. 30, Fred
I‘rice sold his interest in the garage to
McKee for S4OO.
McKee contended that Fred Price repre
sented to him that he held a lease on
the garage which enxtonded to Oct. 22,
1922. His evidence also showed that
Fred Price had sold to him the Inter
est In the garage oil Nov. 30, while on
Nov. 29 a representative of Emerson
W. Cliaille and Company, 921 Hurae-
Mnnsur building, had served notice on
Price to vacate the property by Jan 1,
1921. The agent testified t'aat the prop
erty had been sold ami that u new build
ing was to be erected on the site by the
new owners.
Price claimed that he did not tell Mc-
Kee that he held a lease on the prop
erty. but that ho told McKee he was op
! orating there without a lease, and that
he would have to take the sanio chance
as he (Price) was taking. Price admitted
that lie sold out to obtain money to go
to California, but said lie told McKee ttint
he was selling only the personal property
in tlie garage to him and ttiat as far as
the lease was concerned, McKee would
have to look that up himself.
RAN INTO MOVING
FREIGHT TRAIN
$5 and Costs for Driving Ma
chine While Drunk.
The court took Judicial knowledge of
the fact that running into a freight
train -that had been passing for some
time was sufficient proof of drunkenness
without smelling liquor on the breath,
talking thickly, or staggering, and fined
Dilburn Meyer of Whltelnnd. Ind,, $5
and costs today on the charge of oper
ating a motor vehicle while under the
influence of liquor.
Meyer, who admitted that he had been
drinking, disregard'd "stop” signals
given by J. Swan, 1034 Madison avenue,
who is watchman at Madison avenue,
who is watchman at Madison avenue and
the Belt Railroad, where the accident
occurred, and drove his automobile Into
the middle of a cut of fifteen freight cars
which was passing. The car was dragged
about 200 feet but. Meyers escaped un
injured.
Judge Delbert O. Wilmeth explained
that the lightness of the fine was caused
by the fact that Meyer would have to j
pay a large amount to have his nuto- j
mobile repaired. This, the judge said,
would be counted part of the penalty.

PROVES SNAG
__
Job Hunters at Postoffice Must
Run Line of Red
Tape.
Flocks of deserving Republicans anx
| ious to get on the postollice pay roll
! when Robert H. Bryson becomes post
i master, are running into snag of tlie
civil service regulations, much to their
discomfiture.
The general impression among job
\ hunters seems to be that the postmaster
; will have a lot of appointive plums to dis
i pose of. As * matter of fact all he can
do is to reo "-inend appointments when
vacancies occurs, and those vacancies
must be filled from within the service,
and not from the outside, all of which
brings no thrills of joy to the hearts of
those looking for soft jobs at swell sal
\ aries.
The best positions in the postofflee are
those of assistant postmaster, now held
by Charles W. Byfield, which pays a sal
ary of $3,700 a year, and the superintend
ent,s who draw $3,500 a year.
It will be possible to get rid of any
Democrats In these positions by demo
tion, a policy which has been pursued by
the present Republican Administration in
I the railway postal mail service, but even
:if this is done the vacancies must be
filled from within the service. Therefore
it looks very much as if the aspirants for
! political appointments who have had their
eyea on postoffice positions will be forced
to look elsewhere In their efforts to get
some money out of Uncle Sam.

Changing Weather
Brings Pneumonia
Chronic Pulmonary Troubles, Hoarseness, Coughs or Colds May
Develop Into Pneumonia. Should Be Prevented.
Can Be Relieved.
Damp, cold weather today and
warm, sunny weather tomorrow In
variably brings coughs and colds to
the healthiest persons. Cases of
chronic catarrh, bronchitis and
asthma grow worse. And all such
troubles aid pneumonia in its dead
ly march.
To coiwbat the results of this
changeable Indiana weather every
household should keep on hands a
bottle of Balsamea. It not only
clears up immediately any minor
lung or bronchial trouble, but re
lieves the severest case:; of pneu
monia, influenza, chronic bron
chial asthma, whooping cough, croup
or catarrh.

COTTON TRADE
WITHEGYPT
Break In Great Britain’s
Monopoly Widens Field
For America.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan 14.—With direc
steamship service between United States
and Egypt established, after British ship
! pers have bad a monopoly on it for more
than a quarter of a century, there will be
a marked improvement in trade between
Egypt and this country In the next few
years.
This is the prediction of Lester May
nard, United States Consul at Alexandria,
who recently visited the Foreign Trade
Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, In
an effort to help Philadelphia merchants.
Egyptian cotton is the finest In the
worlld. British shippers held complete
sway of the shipment of this cotton.
In 1920 the United States Shipping Board
began its effort to get a part of this
trade. The services of Mr. Maynard were
loaned to the Shipping Board by the Gov
ernment and he conducted negotiations
with Egyptian exporters, with the re
sult that tho first American vessel is
now loading a cargo of cotton, at Alex
andria, and another Is being loaded with
Egyptian cotton av Liverpool. This
country is now entitled to 50 per cent
of the transport shipment.
“The United States is a heavy buyer
from Egypt,” said Mr. Maynard, “and
Egypt is a heavy buyer from the United
j States. The balance of trade favors
; United States and #rith a direct steam
ship service that trade will be greatly
improved.
! “In the past our ships have gone to
Egypt with exports and come back empty.
To make up the cost of such profitless
trips it was necessary for the shippers
to charge more on outward freight. The
establishment of direct steamship serv
ice means for the United State ships a
half million dollars a year In shipping
; rates alone, and still wider signifiance
is attached to the opening np of new
avenues of trade.
“Philadelphia is widely Interested in
cotton piece goods. In a year Egypt Im
ports $100,000,000 worth of this product
alone, exclusive of other textiles. Up
j un’ll now the United States has sold
‘ to Egypt about $25,000 worth of this ma
terial a year. Tbe new regulations have
| opened a way to enter this market and
some New England men are now working
toward that end.
“One of the most Important develop
ments would be the establishment of an
American bank in Egypt. This bank soon
will be a reality. There should be a
combination of United States bankers
to form a subsidiary bank over there
to attract Egyptian capital. There should
be a Philadelphia bank in the group.
"Exchange has been one of the great
est handicaps. There Is no direct dol
lar-Eg.vptlan pound exchange. All ex
changing is done through London bank*,
who get an eighth to a quarter of a
per cent on all transactions.” —Copyright,
1922, by Public Ledger Company.
