CHINESE WELGOME | YANKEE DOLLARS \ American Capitalists Hailed as| j Princes of Good Will and China’s Friends. DOCTRINE OF —OPEN DOOR (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Peking, Oct. 13.—Chinese news- papers are unanimous in welcoming American capital into China to build railroads. The announcement of the conclusion of the agreement whereby | Siems and Carey, financed by the American International Corporation, are granted a contract for over 2,000 miles of railway, costing approxi- mately $100,000,000 gold, has been re- ceived with great enthusiasm. Neither the Chinese public nor the Chinese press has any fear that the United States has any ulterior motives. “Since the death of President Yuan Shi-kai, the most important single fact in the history of China has beep the signature of the Siems and Carcy railway agreement,” says the Peking Daily News. “It reintroduces into practical politics a principle that was y in danger of being foygotten. Ameri- g cans do not seek political power, in- fluence or sphere. They seek trade | and trade only, and they have now as- | ) sumed that other nations seck noth- ing more and really mean what they say when they pledge themselves to the maintenance of the open door and 3‘ equal opportunity for all in China. Not “Lip Service.” “All the powers interested have expressed their adhesion to the prin- ciple of the op®n door, but in spite of the lip service rendered to this doctrine there has been sneaking de- sire to evade its real consequences. Great Britain, when more than once once non-British schemes appeared to have ramifications that reached the Yang-tse valley, has been obviously uneasy; as witness the French port of Pukow scheme and the Japanese Hankow development project. Japan has almost openly repudiated the open door doctrine. The Japanese ve- toes on the Chinchow-Aigun railway, on the Hsinmintun-Fakumen project, and on Mr. Knox’s Manchurian rail- way neutralization proposals, all go to show that Japan has in its heart repudiated the open door dogma long ago. The Japanese demands of last year, and the corollary to them to be found in the side issues raised in con- nection with the Chengchiatun ne- gotiations, only confirm them. Rus- sian diplomacy for several years, and its latest public displays of it—the treaty with Japan and the protest against_the presence of members for Outer Mongolia in the Chinese par- liament—can only be interpreted in the light of a virtual repudiation of the doctrine of the open door. The Germans nearly did the same thing in Shantung previous to the outbreak of the war. “Had the Department of State in Washington set itself to devise a test for the sincerity of the powers that have declared their adhesion to the ! doctrine of the open door and equal opportunity in China, it could not have devised one better than the pres- ent contract.” Practically all the Peking papers and the important Chinese papers in other large centers, expregs satisfac- tion at the decision of American capi- tal to look for an outlet in China. Tor several years but little American capital has come to China. This fact has been discouraging to Chinese who are interested in development pro- jects, but the railway agreement has THE OMAHA DAILY BEE OMAHA, SATURDAY MORNING, «.§iNow for the Final Pull and She'll Drop GROCER MUST PAY HUNDRED FOR HUG Judge Crawford Decides This is the Price Cooper Must Pay for Indiscretion. SUIT WAS FOR A THOUSAND “Just a little hug a little—" (busi- ness of humming strains of a one- time popular ballad). A tolerably expensive luxury, one would say, at $100 the hug? Th tale of the corner groceryman who is alleged to have “gotten fresh” with one of his customers was spun in coynty court, Judge Crawford pre- siding. It was some tale and when the plaintiff and defendant and their respective attorneys and witnesses had participated in the verbal spinning bee for several hours Judge Crawford handed down a verdict that the hug was worth a century note and the costs of the case. Mrs. Julia Linde, 1520 North Twen- tieth street, brought suit against J. Copper, a grocer in the neighborhood, for $1,000 damages, alleging that he became too attentive one day while he was delivering potatoes and kero- sence, The plaintiff testified that she re- pulsed his advances, told her husband, Otto Linde, of the incident and then tion, only to have him deny absolutely the allegation. The hugging party was staged on | the morning of October 11, according to the charges of Mrs. Linde. While Cooper was hugging lier, Mrs. Linde added, he “playfully” pinched her on the arms. Continue Warnings Against Submarines Boston, Dec. 1.—Shipping circles reported tonight that radio messages warning entente allied shipping to avoid the regular steamship lanes be- cause of the reported presence of Ger- man submarines on this side of the Atlantic, has been sent out today, at least once every twenty-four hours. The warnings are believed to have come from allied cruisers patrrolling the coast, and the British government stations at Halifax atd Bermuda and were similar to those which have been sent broadcast for the last few weeks. Foreign shipping, according to re- ports received again today avoided the regular lane off the Nantucket Shoals Lightship, where the U-53 operated October 8. Krupps Declare Twelve Per Cent Dividend Again Berlin (Via , London), Dec. 1.— The Krupp company has declared a dividend of 12 per cent, the same amount as last year. The company, however, will withhold 6 per cent as a ten-year loan, explaining that the war tax and extensive additions to the plant in filling war orders necessi- JAPANESE SCHOLAR DEGRIES U. 5. STAND Dr. Minakuchi Tells University Club Japan Does Not Want the Philippines. CAN'T AFFORD IT, HE SAYS “The Japanese do not want to an- nex Hawaii or the Philippines,” :au\] Dr. Yutaka Minakuchi, native Japan- | ese, in his talk at the University club at noon. “Annexing Hawaii or the Philippines would mean an increase of coast line and an increase of coast line means an increase in navy. We do not want an increase in the navy now, for we are heavily indebted. I thank God that today not the mikado, not the cabinet; but the people rule Japan.” ! The speaker pointed out that just | before the Russo-Japanese war the national indebtedness was $325,000,000 and that immediately after the war it was $1,226,000,000. “Japan has no money to spend on navies now,” he continued. “If Japan has any money to spare it will use it in the dwclopmcnl of Manchuria and Korca.” Desnairing Sight. He touched on the Japanese ex- clusion laws of the United States and said: “One of the most despairing sights to me is to see the people of fifty nations flooding into the United States every year by the tens of thou- | sands and all merged into one na- tionality, while that nation still ex- cludes certain people on account of race.” He declared that Japanese labor is not necessarily cheaper than Euro- pean or American labor. “Japanese labor is really better than most la- bor,” he said. “And in many cases instead of working cheaper the Japan- DECEMBER 2, ese is skilled and is able to command ceven_higher wages than the Ameri- position.” 1916.

Ester was shot in the back of the head, the bullet barely penctrating the skull. He had been employed by the Sun- derland Coal company as a laborer. Mrs. Ester said they had been mar- ried seven years. The quarrel started because he had been drinking heavily of late, she told Deputy Coroner Jones.

Joe l‘rdnnt and his two nephews, Antone and Jose Pedone, were ar- rested tonight and the police are in- vestigating their supposed connection with threatening letters said recently to have been received by Turgrassio. Jose and Antone Pedone were wounded from the two revolvers with which Turgra defended himself, Poison Draught Solace 0f Girl on Thanksgiving For May Ellis, 20 years old, life held nothing worth while, she thought, so while the world was celebrating a day of thanksgiving shc ended her life in a room at 1402 Howard street by swallowing a glassful of power- ful poison. The landlady, Mrs. Da- vid Hill, found her and notified Chief of Detectives Maloney. The Ellis girl had been living at the Hill place for several weeks and was apparently satisfied with life. The Thanksgiving spirit, however, made her despondent, it -is thought, and prompted her to the act. Her mother, Mrs. E. Kephart, is a widow, and lives at 1620 South Elev- enth street, Council Bluffs. | first str ht sent a bullet Rochester, g JOHN A. SWANSON, Pres. _' l—WM. L. HOLZMAN, Treas.
