ment Will Be Signed Monday-Rus-
so-Japanese Negotiations Are Pro-
crossing Slowly.

London, Oct. 1.-THE Alaskan boun-
dary commission has verbally agreed
to grant all the American contentious
except that for the Portland canal
which goes to Canada. A formal agree
ment is being drawn up and will be
rendered Monday.
Pearse Island is at the Mouth of the
canal. Ii is divided between two can
ais by the island. Canada formerly had
undisputed use of the eastern chanel.
Under the present decision, Canada
will have use of the western chanel.
The successful termination of the
Alaskan boundary arbitration this af-
ternoon came as complete surprise to
all interested in the case, except per-
haps the commissioners themselves.
When the tribunal adjourned at $3.50
p. M, 1t was understood no decision
had been reached Indeed so general
was the impression that no decision
would be reached until next week that
several of the counsel and others en-
ployed in the case left London soon
after the adjournment. However, the
Associated Press learned votes had
all the American contentious, except
that for the Portland canal. which goes
TO Canada, had been arrived at.

New York, Oct. 17.-Henry Farley,
the walking delegate who is awaiting
trial on the indictment for perjury, al
legged to have been committed during
the trial of Samuel Parks, is announced
by the World to have made a startling
confession to District Attorney Jerome.
Numerous cases are enumerated in the
statement Of walking delegates in this
city and surrounding towns, having
successfully conspired to extort money
from contractors and builders to avoid
strikes or to have them called off.
Farley asserts that $4,000 was secured
from w. e. D. Stokes to stop interfer-
ence with the building of the Ansonia
hotel. He says that the perjury with
which he is charged was committed
at the instfgation of prominent law
yer 1t consisted of his swearing that
he and Parks didn't meet at amy time
only during the prosecution and as
serted that Parks received s20o from
Brooklyn contractor to avoid strike.
Farley admits, 1t is said, that the
money was given in his presence, first
in the form Of a check. which was re-
fused, and later In cash.
Farley was indicted after the Parks
trial and remained some weeks In jail.
while his wife suffered from the lack OF
the necessities of life. He was released
on bail after the return Of Parks from
the Kansas City convention. He said
his confession was given purely to re-
lieve his conscience, with the distinct
understanding that 1t did not involve
immunity.
District Attorney is in possession of
the name of the lawyer in the case, to-.
getter with the names OF all walking
delegates alleged to be involved. and
disbarment proceedings are promised In
connection with the other develop
ments.
