IP ACTIVITIES AUSING ALARM N WASHINGTON C lashes With Russ and Czechs Along Chinese Railway Grow Serious. MOTIVES IN QUESTION WASHINGTON', April 17.—The activities of Japanese troops along: the Chinese eastern railway and in the vicinity' of Vladivostok, Khabarosk and NikoIjfevsk, in eastern Siberia, arc being watched from Washington with uneasy interest. Clashes between Japanese troops and ihe Russians and between the Japanese end armed workers, among them being Czechs, along the line of communication by rail from the Baikal road to the Sea of Japan, are growing in seriousness and in frequency, while officials ! ere admit neither the exact cause of ihe friction nor the precise aim of Japan's njiHtary operations, has been made t lear. state department has been inthat two new Japanese divisions will be despatched to Asia almost immediately. A message from Tokio explained that these divisions sre to relieve tired divisions now in Siberia. JAPAN TO KEEP LARGE FORCES IN ASIA. This is taken to indicate that instead of withdrawing from that part of the world, as Japan was supposed to do when the French. British and cleared out of Russia, as they have now done. Japan intends keeping large forces there. These forces now number about 36,000. The original intention of the allies was for the United States. France, Englend and Japan each to send to Russia about 7.000 men. Japan first sent 60,000 but later cut this number down to half, only to reinforce the contingent subsequently by two freh brigades. An excerpt from a Japanese paper printed in Hawaii has reached Washington with the assertion that the Japanese are in Siberia to stay. Officials declare they are unable to ace an ai thoritative interpretation upon Japan's actions, though in some quarters the opinion was hazarded that "the Monroe doctrine of the east,” with Japan playing the principal rop may have something to do with deve, i>*c, nts. INTEREST IN CHINA RECOGNIZED BV U. 8. The United States has recognized that Japan “has special interests in China.” hut this agreement does not exjend to Siberia. In this connection, it is pointed out that Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, through q testions put to Secretary of State Lansing last fall, revealed a possible difference of opinion between this country and Japan over Japan's policy in < bina, which policy is now believed to bav been expanded to cover at least parts of Siberia. Senator Borah brought out the fact that it was Count Isbii, the Japanese ambassador, who has urged that the “speciat interest'' be Included in th^iapanese- American agreement signed in 1917. and that there was room for doubt as to the exact interpretation Japan put npon the words. At the Japanese embassy here it was explained that the fighting around Vladivostok at Nlkolaisvsk and Kabnrovsk was due to the aggressive attitude of the Russians, necessitating their disarmament.

SHERIFF AND SIX OTHERS INDICTED (Continued From Page One.) Judge of the Marion Criminal Court— Pursuant to the instructions of your honor, the grand jury of Marion county has vfsited the Marion county jail and desires to make th“ following report of •onditions as found there. "Certain parts of the jail seemed to be r lean and well kept. The woman's sec-t-on and that part of the Jaii knot'si ns 'federal row,' on the third floor, especially seemed to be well eared for. and what is known as *U. S. row,’ on the tecond floor, was reasonably so. The 'ells on she first floor, however, and those on the second floor assigned to prisoners, were exceeding)} dirty, in a very unsanitary condition generally and quite overrun with vern:in and insects. The general sanitary ■ ndition of the jail is very bad, due ’ > part at least to the fact that the , Itimblng system and the plumbing fix t res are in very bad repair; that tne tenets for the most part have oeed function and it Is necessary to flush Cem by pouring water into the bowl. the colored men's section the toilets ere rusted out and the woodwork around tie toilets is rotted to such an extent that it would be possible for a man to rawl through some of the holes. Fur- ' ermore, there Is no toilet ptper for c e in the entire jail so far as we were ride to ascertain. Steps should be taken by the county commissioners itnmediely to have the entire plumbing system overhauled and repaired and the I dumbing fixtures replaced. Without this being done it will be impossible for any one to keep the jail in a proper -cnltary condition. 'The beds and bunks are in very bad • ondition. Some of the beds have the springs entirely torn off and in many other cases the springs are so badly damaged thpt they are entirely unserviceable and unfit for any human being to seep upon. The mattresses and straw ticks are in very bad condition. Not only are they soiled to the point of being filthy, as are the blankets also, but the straw has been used for so long that it fcas become unfit for its purpo§e. both from the atandpoint of sanitation and comfort to the prisoners. We recommend that straw ticks should bo used throughout the ja!!, the straw being changed at least every thirty i3O) days and the ticks laundered each time the straw is changed. The blankets should be washed and not permitted to become filthy, as they are. and in such condition parsed from prisoner to prisSner as one leaves and tbq other enters. IOWER BATHS OFT OF COMMISSION*. "In the colored women's section tlje shower baths are entirely out of com mission, and there is no light In the bathroom, rendering bathing practically impossible in that section of the jail. "Furthermore, we find that the prisoners are not provided with individual drinking cups, and in view of the fact that many persons infected with venereal diseases enter the Jail, the failure to provide individual drinking cups or sanitary cups for the grisoners. is a constant menace. We found at least one prisoner who had contracted a lotthsome disease of this description whiie in jail. "Furthermore, the county commissioners should take immediate steps to provide some place for the prisoners in feted with venereal diseases. It is entirely unjust that all people who are incarcerated some of whom It later de relops are Innocent of the crime charged against them, should be forced to eat. drink and constantly associate with those having commutabie diseases of this description. . t is pntireiv wrong that insane per-.-,ns should ever be lodared in the county jail with no more facilities for their care and treatment than are provided at the Marion county jail. Either some arrangement should be made by which iusane people awaiting transfer or admittance to insane hospitals should be cared for at the City hospital or the county commissioners should provide a proper place at the county jaii for their care and facilities for their treatment while lodged

At the present time such Inmates are lodged In cells which are entirely.insanitary. dark and pooriy ventilated, with no facilities such as padded cells, etc., with which properly to protect them from themaelves. The whole atmosphere is conducive to an aggravation rather than amelioration of their mental state. “Some provision should be made for the sepffJntion of persons of tender age from older and perhaps hardened offenders. We found that vpung boys from seventeen (17) to twenty (20) years of age are lodged in the same tier of cells and mingle freely with men charged with very serious crimes, including every species of sexual perversions, as well as men who have long criminal records. Many of these youths are awaiting trial. Their guilt or innocence has not yet been established. Their association with older men of this type is exceedingly destructive to their morals. PREFERENCE GIVEN THOSE CONVICTED. “We also found that those prisoners who are awaiting trial are assigned principally to the first floor of the jail, wljicb is flecessarily the darkest, most poorly ventilated and uninviting portion thereof, and, as a matter of fact. Is the most filthy and insanitary, while those whose guilt has already been established, those who, having been convicted, are serving a sentence for their crimes, are assigned principally to the top floor of the jail, which *s the lightest, best ventilated and most comfortable in every way. This, in our judgment, should be changed so that .the preference, if any. should be granted to whose trial has not yet been bod. and whom, it may be, are not guilty of the offense with which they are charged, instead of to those who are serving a sentence as punishment for their misdemeanors. “This investigation has convinced us of the utter vleiousness of the system now in vogue in this state of permitting the sheriff to reap a reward from feeding his prisoners. Under the present system a sheriff is given a salary Inadequate to the needs of his office and all the money which he makes f r oin the office is gathered from fees, which he is allowed, and the margin that *he retains from his allowance for boarding his prisoners. We do not seek to excuse the sheriff for failing to properly feed prisoners under his charge, for if he can not feed them properly 3nd still make money out of his allowance Ills, first duty unquestionably is to provide prisoners with wholesome foot* In stead of flrt enriching himself at the expense, of the prisoners: but the deplorable situation which we have found in part at least inheres lu the system (Stablished in this state. We recommend to the next legislature that the sheriff's office b< put upon an adequate salary and that in feeding the prisoners he merely act as tbe agent of the county, receiving a compensation iner-ly for ihe actual cost of feeding the prisoners properly. In other words, the county shoui * pay the sheriff directly a reasonable salary for his services and pay directly for the feeding of tbe prisoners as such “Furthermore, the next legislature should enact new and stringent legi?!nlion against the mistreatment of prisoners in county jails and should enact legislation protecting their rights in every way. For instance, we have found many abuses In vogue at the Marlon county jail which do not constitute a enrne under our statutes, such as disproportionate punishment of prisoners tor petty infractions of jail rules; toe unking of prisoners in solitary confinement for long periods, petty grafting, such as accepting money by the guards, for changing prisoners from on* part of the jail to the other, this matter not being covered by the present briber} statute: the charging of excessive prices tc prisoners for bringing things to them from the outside, which is not now a ••rime, and many other abuses which should be made misdemeanors and a punishment provided therefor.

SEVERE PESALTI ASKED I OR NEGLECT OF DI'TY, "Furthermore, we recommend that the duties of the sheriff and his deputiek with reference to the care of prisoners and their conduct toward them should lie more fully and explicitly set out m our statutes and a more severe penalty should* bo fixed for a breach nr if gleet of duty. 'Also *ve recommend thaf the repeal of that part of the impeachment statute which provide* that a public officer who has been successfully Impeached shall not vacate his office pending on appeal to the supreme court. In the case of all officers whose terms are-of short duration, this in fact nullifies the whole impeachment law, because in this case, for instance, should the sheriff be successfully impeached, he conld delay a Anal decision of the case by an appeal to the supreme court until after his term had expired. The case would then become a moot question in the supreme court, which that court, as held in a similar case, it would not" consider or decide. "At the time we visited the jail, the food served seemed to be sufficient and of good quality. The prisoners stated that there bad been a distinct change for the bettor since she investigation inaugurated in federal court began. "Our investigation both by visit to the jail and tbe hearing of the testimony of witnesses leads us to recommend that the Marion '■ountv commissioners make a sufficient appropriation immediately in order to make proper Improvements and repairs at the Marion county jail, es pecially to pur in an entire new plumb ing system, unless the present one can be satisfactorily overhauled aud repaired; to replace all defective plumbing fixtures. "We also recommend that ail straw ticks now in use at the jail which have been in use for more than three (Si months should he discarded and de siroyed. and that new ti ks should be provided for tbe prisoners throughout the jail, and that these ticks when provided should be •washed and refilled with straw each thirty (30) days. "We further recommend that individual or sanitary drinking -ups should be provided for the prisoners; that the Marion county commissioners should take steps immediately to provide a separate department for the incarceration of prisoners affected with venereal diseases; and that they either make arrangements for the care of all insane patients tn the City hospital or take ijieps to provide s separate place for tbe tare of insane inmates."

FRANCE TO KEEP WATCH ON RHINE Will Enforce Treaty With Belgians’ Aid, General Says. FARIS, April 17. —France and Belgium are prepared to ntaintaiu a b'g army on the Rhino, even if both the British and Ameri:an armies of occupation are withdrawn, it was announced today by Gen. Castelnau, president of the chamber of deputies army commission. “If the United States congress falls to vote an appropriation to maintain an army on the Rhine, France will regiet it very much, since the burden of pl.i'dog an additional 15,000 men in Coblenz will fall on our country,” said Gen. Castelnau. “But Germany knows very well that even if England should also retire, we would maintain an army at Cologne. “France and Belgium are capable of amassing sufficient military forces on the Rhine to compel Germany to respect and obey the terms of the Versailles treaty.” COBLENZ. April 17.—An unconfirmed rumor that anew revolution has broken out in Berliu was received today by the British high commissioner of tbe Rhineland commission. The American military authorities believe the report is untrue, as they were in communication with Berlin last nig'.tt and received no information that led them to credit the rumor. Tw-ynty thousand reachswehr reinforcements were reported to be moving to ward the Ruhr district. It is rumored in German circles tint the reds have concentrated ’U.OOO armed 'men In the districts of Elberfebl and Barmen. SOVIET EVIDENCE ON SLAIN YANK Germany Makes First Report to U.

The anti-organization republicans have for the most port a complete slate of candidates for nomination to county office*. £1 The selection of a candidate for sheriff, however, has developed a situation ;hat lea Vs some question as to just how strongly opposed to the organization tbe “antis" really are.

Saturday Feature of The Times HELPFUL HINTS ON POULTRY Article 6 Care of Poultry By FREDERICK J. CRICK, Former Extension Poultry Husbandman. United States Department of Agriculture. A great many poultry raisers are discouraged. due to the fact proper care in raising is not given. The houses must be kept clean, and one of the greatest menaces to raising young chicks is lice. The experiment station in Wisconsin stated that 200,000 chicks were lost in that state alone by lice. Think what this means over the country in hindering production, not only in meat products, but eggs as well. Idee undermine the constitution of a fowl quicker than anything else known. In tbe production of eggs lice are a terrible deterrent. They suck the blood, which is necessary for the production of eggs and the building up the body of the bird. We often wonder why better results are not obtained from our chickens, and nine out of ten times examlna tion will show that lice are the underlying cause.

SPARROWS CARRY LICE INFECTION. Sparrows are the carriers of these lice. It has been estimated that one louse, with its offspring, produces 125,000 lice in eight weeks. The most common kind of vermin in this section of tbe country that bother the poultry are body lice, head lice, feather lice and red mites, all of them separate and distinct of their kind. Body lice are to be found in greater numbers around the scut, but also around the wings. They remain and breed on the fowl's body, laying the eggs on the lace work of the feathers. This particular kind vary in size, some very small while others as large as a grain of wheat. The head iice are true blood suckers and have long bills, which puncture the skin and fhood vessels underneath. They fasten on the head and throat of young chicks, leaving the mother hen and going to the young as soon as hatched. They gap the vitality of the young chicks, causing them to be subject to diseases such as crop, cholera and white dtarrhoea. MITES WORST I’ESTS OF ALL. Mites are the worst pests of all, and unlike the body lice, only live on the fowl at night; during tho day they hide in the crevices and cracks of the poultry house. t’hese are blood suckers, too. You will find that setting bens have not only left the nests, but have died on it, due to body lice and red mites. Birds troubled with lice are restless, always picking at the pluramage and tho skin, while the comb becomes pale. Little chicks become drowsy, haye bowel trouble’ ami die. The best method of getting rid of these pests is to clean the rubbish around and in poultry houses, and keep tbe drop boards clean. There are a great number of lice powders on the market, but sre never found what you might say absolnteiy satisfactory, due to the fact that they don't adhere to the feathers and kill the nits, which hatch every forty to sixty bours. Use on adhesive powder which sticks, placing It hi a dust bath, using ashes or even nothing but road dust in a box In the henhouse. This can be obtained at any leading poultry supply house; your feed dealer or your druggist will be glad to give you more specific information where it can be obtained. Ql ESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
