Officials Express Belief That
"Wider Meaning Than Jn-
tended Has Been Given to
Negotiations.
SILENCE MAINTAINED
' AS TO PROCEEDINGS
JapsMay Concede Abatement
Of Restrictions Now Open
Upon Rights of Americans to
Hold Property in Orient.
By Tho Assuelated Press.
Washington, Sept. 1. Belief was
expressed by officials" today that a
far wider meaning than was intend-'
rd had been given to the recent an
nouncement of the inowuration of
negotiations with the Japanese gov
ernment on the subject of Japanese
immigration and the status of Jap
anese now tn tile United states.
, The exchanges between the two
governments, it 'was asserted, have
scarcely progressed to date beyond
-the expression of mutual desires to
.take any necessary steps consistent
with the honor and interests of the
two countries, to prevent develop
ment of friction growing out of the
nresencc of Japanese' in the United
States. .
J'he subject ' of Japanese immi
gration was-taken up by-the State
department after receipts of a letter
from Governor -Stephens, transmit
Mig the report of the special Cali
fornia commission, which had made
an extensive inquiry into the prob
kflis of Japanese immigration and
land holding in California. The gov
ernor appealed to Secretary Colby
to support the effort of the state of
. California to refttrict the further im
migration of Japanese, which, he
said, would take the form of legis
lative, action in congress, by the Pa
cific coast senators and representa
tives.. : '
Ngotiations Secret. .
Both parties' to the negotiations
are understood to feel it necessary
to maintain silence, but it' is known
that the negotiations have not yet
reached the point were they treat
,Sf detailsrof any kind of arrange
ment; nor Is it even yet certain that
there will be complete agreement
upon the, principles involved, j The
JapaineiW government has insisted
that it hsitoyR observed the ''gen
tlemen s &Yeement under which the
lapanese government was to prevent
'ooues from getting passports for
smerica. but it is believed to be
Hsposed to listen to any representa
tions tq the effect that this agree
ment has not been quite, satisfactory
in its workings. '
If it is shown that, the spirit of the
agreement has been evaded, as is
claimed by the California commis
sion, then it is considered here as
quite likely that the Japanese gov
ernment will be willing to strengthen
the agreement, or even give it the
more binding form of a treaty if de
sired by the Unite States. Also
it is possible that Japan may con
cede some abatement of the existing
restrictions upon the rights of
Americans to hold real property in
Japan. i
The. Tokio report, as carried in
dispatches to a Japanese paper in
Honolulu, asserted it- had beeu
agreed that all Japanese now in the
United States should be naturalized
and the Japanese government under
take to prevent further emigration
to this country.

London," Sept. l.r"A "transfusion'
of blood might save the life of' Lord
Mayor Terence MacSwiney, nothing
else can,"' Dr. Higsoiv the prison
physician, was quoted as saying yes
terday by Father Victor, the prison
chaplain. The lord mayor, has. com
pleted the. 19th day of his hungei
strike. His death is expected hour
ly. So slight, a thing as the falling
of a chir or the bang of -a. door
might now produce the sh.ock which
would kill hint. His mind remains
clear. Though thousands from the
crowd outside the jail stand willing
to give their blood to save him, he
remains steadfast, tinwillingvto do
anything but cling ot his determina
tion to die unless he is' uncondition
ally released. ' ' . . ' 1
He was propped up in his bed yes-,
terday and newspapers were held ;in
front of him. He tried to read, but
was able to keep hia eyes . ou .the
print for only a moment at a time.
Then his eyelids would droop. He
remains without a fever, but his
pulse and respiration are so low as
to be scarcely discernible. . -
His sister, who sat with him
throughout the night, has noted 'that
the death color, is creeping into his
face. His personal, chaplain. Father.
Dominick, said that a few hours
more was all that could be hoped
for. j '' '
The remaining hope of some that
the government would alter its de
cision notto release him vanished
yesterday when the king sent a let

of Parlianfent, saying that. the inter-,

Love Dream Shattered. '
JohatrnaV"love dreams of life in
wonderful America with the gallant
soldier she learned to revere and
adore in her native village, near the
city of Cologne, Germany, all have
been shattered.
Johanna is .really beautiful and
was reared of an aristocratic Ger
man family. She is Svell educated
and was a registered pharmacist and
practising physician in her home vil
lage before her marriage. '
She met Woodie when he' was a
member of the 26th American divi
sion in the Army of Occupation in
Germany. He had been transferred
from the 34th division with which
he went overseas.
Married in Germany.
,The pair met just three months
before Woodie was ordered hpme
for discharge. Woodic's wooing was
impassioned and swift, and the
lovers were wed soon after in the
little German church in which Jo
hanna had been instructed as a
child.
After a honeymoon from Cologne

Woodie's family was overjoyed at
the return of their soldier-hero to
his home from the "battlefields of
Europe,. and they were only too will

heart he brought Aith him.
Then Disagreements.
For three or four weeks, -everything
came up to the expectations of
the German girl who had heard such
wonderful things of America.
But soon, neighbors and friends
began to hear of dissension in the
Woodie home.
Rumors ran rampant that the rela

of the aristrocratic ways of their

AUGUST PRICES
CONTINUED TO
Refusal of Public to Pay Ex
cessive Demands Declared
by Reserve Board to Be
Cause;
Washington, 'Sept, 1. "Refusal of
the public to pay' excessive prices"
caused a continuation of the down
ward trend of values in August, the
federal reserve board declared in it
monthly review of business' condi
tions issued last night. The board
added the reaction against high
prices had been accompanied by a
general slowing up of demand in thje
wholesale field and by .slight evi
dences of unemployment in some
sections.
The board's views on the nation's'
business generally were more opti
mistic than recent expressions and
indicated an expectation of more
stability iii industry and commerce.
While the review mentioned signs
of a conclusion of the transition
period, it countered with the state
ment that progress in that direction
is slow and "much still remains to
be done" before the country can be
said to be on a stable basis. The
hopeful assertion was made, how
ever, that the readjustment had con
tinued consistently. , "
"In the agricultural regions," the
review declared, "the promising crop
prospect has given a much more
hopeful turn to affairs and has tend
ed to minimize broader questions of
price adjustment. Jn those parts of
the country the paramount idea' is
production on a large scale, accom
panied by improvement of transpor
tation and labor conditions.
"Where the processes of distribu
ting and financing are more impor
tant the prospect for improvement
is less immediate, although funda
mental conditions are slowly im
proving and the underlying business
situation is usually described as
sound."
"Please, Muvver-
Read me a storv."
It is the invariable plea of
the little boy or girl after the
day's hard play.
When Daddy or Muvver has
tucked Bobby in, then is the
time when the little voice asks,

hour that The Bee has ar'
ranged to publish, beginning
next Monday, a series of

Plans are to take over, or build,
grain elevators at every point where
wheat is shipped. It will be possible,
it was said, to control 40 per cent
of the country's wheat output.
"Profits will be stabilized' and
prices, to the consumer greatly re

RENEW FIGHTING
IN BELFAST WITH

Nationalists, Unionist Ship
yard Workers and Troops
Clash Battle Rages
30 Minutes.
Belfast, Sept. 1. Fighting was re
sumed here this morning between
nationalists, unionist shipyard work
ers from the Shankhill district and
troops. Heavy firing continued
nearly half an hour, and it is feared
the casualty list is heavy.
North street was thronged with
shipyard workers at 8 o'clock. Sud
deifly there was a series of revolver
shots apparently coming from Mill
field, which is-the center of the na
tionalist streets abutting on North
street. Nearby military pickets
rushed to the scene, took shelter
behind walls and poured in a fierce
fire, which was returned by snipers.
The battle was accompanied by the
shrhsking of mill and foundry sirens.
Sinn Feiners Routed.
Matters finally became too hot
for the Sinn Feiners and they were
dislodged with the aid of an armored
car. The shipyard workers in their
zeal to help the soldiers became a
nuisance and the commanding of
ficers asked them to withdraw.
Tram cars caught between' the op
posing forces ran a gauntlet of bul
lets, the drivers cowering over their
wheels and the passengers tying on
the floor.
It is definitely known that one
man was, killed in the North street
encounter.
Battle at Docks.
There was another bitter fight at
the docks between shipyard wprkcrs
and union dock workers, the dockers
firing on the shipyard employes. The
latfer used sticks and stones and a
fierce battle waged until police and
soldiers with a machine gun ended
the conflict. One docker was killed
by the misdirected fire of his own
party.
The total number of serious fires
reached al4 this morning.

Br The Associated 1'rtsi.
Chicago, Sept. 1. George White
chairman of the democratic national
committee, said on the stand today

sire of contributors "to have back
of them in industrial centers thf
bayonets of their puppets' in office.'
He told Chairman Kenyon tna
he believed the charges were tru

Mr. White told the senatorial com

The democratic leader was care
ful to impress upon the commit

"I have not yet ; appointed oui
tampaign fund committee," he ex
plained. "I intend to do it thif
week, but was delayed by the cali

quently, my estimate is made as at

not yet made up a budget, Mr.,
White said; -but he -.added that the
various bureaus were pressing him
to appoint the campaign fund com

democratic financial director, hat
