Tokio, Jan. $7.—Attacks made on the Japanese governmenmt by the op- position in connection with the Cali- fornia land ownership legislation and the recently disclosed Japanese naval contract scandals were continued dur- ing the dscussion of the budget in the house of representatives.

Referring to the naval scandal, in ‘which the name of Vice Admiral Kof- chi Fujli, former Japanese naval at- tache i Berlin, had been mentioned a8 having been offered commissions on contracts obtained by a German electrical concern, Beron Makino said he had requested a report on the sub- Ject from the Japanese ambassador to Germany.

Chicago, Jan. 27.--Business condi- tions in Chicago and throughout the country are decidedly better than they were a short time ago. The pres- ent looks MHke a good time to “go ahead.” That, in brief, is a summary of the views expressed by a number of bankers, manufacturers and mer- chants.. , " Since Jan. 1 several thousand men who were laid off late in 1913 have been put back to work in various in- dusatries. 4 Among the points advanced as indi- cating an active business year are: The seeming certainty that the rail- roads will be granted an advance of 5 per cent in freight rates; more plen- titul supply of money and lower rates of interest; coming inauguration of the new system of regional reserver| banks, which is counted on “to make panics impossible,” and better under- standing between business men and the administration.

Senator Works explained that his bill was intended to relieve the presi- dent and members of congress from the burdens of recommending and ap- pointing the thousands of officers throughout the country; to bring about the appointment of more com- petent men and women. _The time taken up by the president and members of congress in consider- ing matters of patrondge, he said, was enormous, and should be devoted to more important pfiblic service.
