Japan replied under date of Novem- ber 19 that it was “the definite under- standing” of the Japanese govern- ment that the supreme council on May 7 came to a final dacision to place under mandate to Japan all of the lorm-r german islands north of the equator: that the decision involved “no reservations whatever in regard to the island of Yap,” and that there- for the Japanese government “would not be able to consent to any proposi- tion which, reversing the decision of the supreme council, would exclude the island of Yap from the territory committed to their charge.” Acting Secretary Davis then dis- patched a long formal note to Tokio, setting forth that the American gov- ernment could not agree that Yap was included in the decision of the su- preme council of May 7, 1919, ,as claimed? and that even on the assump- tion that the island had been included in the mandate ‘‘all other powers should have free access to the island for the landing and operation of cables.” The Japanese reply on February 26 said that if the observation of the American government with regard to cables was put forth irrespective of the fact that the island was within the mandatory territory ‘‘then the question seems to:be one which should be freely settled by the nation which has charge of the place, namely, Japan.” If the observation was made, owing, to the nature of the mandate, the note continued, Japan would draw at- tention at the meeting of the commis- sion on mandates on July 19, 1919, Col. E. M. House, one of the American peace commissioners, opposed Vis- count Chinda’s claim that the same equal opportunities for commerce and trade should be guaranteed in terri- tories of the “‘C” class (such as the Pacific islands) as in those belonging to the “B" class of territories under mandate. “In view of the position thus taken hy the American delegate,” the note added, ‘‘the imperial government fiels obliged to state that in their opinion the American government can not with justice tend for the open door in the “C” class territories as agninst Japan and to inform tite United States government at the same time that they can not consider them- selves bound in any way to recog- nize the freedom of other nations in the manner insisted upon by the Amer- fean government in regard to the Janding and the operation of cables ven in-places where the principle of the ‘open door” is to be guaranteed.” hold materials from scores of home- steaders’ cabins. Judge C. 0. Brown opened court this morning after returning from Douglas where he has been holding court for the past two weeks. No criminal cases were scheduled for to- day, so the civil docket was opened. The jury has been temporariliy dis- missed pending decision of hearing the criminal cases at this’ term. A motion wes filed by the state in | the L. B. Nicholson case in which the Gstendant is charged with the mur- der of Edward Schuster, urging that the case he brought to trial at this term. A motion was filed in behalf | of Judge C. D. Murane, defense coun- el, asking that the case be continued n the grounds that counsel had been iN and had been unable to prepare his case. Court’ took the’ motions under-ad- visement and will. withhold /announee~ ment pending the return of Judge -C, D. Murane, who is ‘now in’ Thermopo- js. Jack Miller, the.man whom. it is al- leged - attempted *to- blackmail A.J. Cunningham, will, not have a “prelim- inary hearing, the stafe taking ad- vantage of the law which will enable the first hearing of the case to be held in ‘district’ court. The date of the Miller hearing has not been set yet by the court but it’is probable that such action willbe taken this afternoon. Attorney Harry O. Wharton bas appeared in the case for the defense, while M. W. Purcell, county attorney, is ‘personally pushing the case for the state. ‘The three Kremer brothers who are charged with stealing 270 head of sheep ‘from the Manx Sheep company will have their hearing in district court April 28, and possibly a later hearing on a subsequent charge of stealing merchandise and household supplies from many homiesteaders’ cabins. Other criminal work and a mass of civil actions which have cluttered up court dockets here for years will in all probability be taken up at this term of court if the dockets in other parts of te sixth judicial district can be cleared in time.

Judge Blydenburgh was one of the leading Democrats of the state. Re- ligevusly he’ was affiliated with the Presbyterian church and fraternally with the Knights of Pythias and Elks. He served as town councilman and mayor of Rawlins, superintendent of schools of Carbon county and repre- sented that county in the tenth ter- ritorial legislature, serving in that body with Willis VanDevanter, now associate justice of*the supreme court of the United States.

Both: of thes officers will remain on duty at the police station from Iate in the afternoon untl! daylight the fol- lowing morhing.
