AMERICANS SUPERIOR TO
JAPANESE IN TRADE WAR
Silk Dealers of United States Succeed
in Bringing Oriental Merchants
to More Equable
Terms
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The war be-
tween Japanese and American silk
dealers which arose from an attempt
on the part of the Japanese to control
the trade and eventually drive the
Americans out of the silk commission
business, has been amicably settled,
according to a cablegram received to-
day by Franklin Allen, secretary of the
Silk Association OF America, from the
associations officers in Yokohama.
Because of an agreement between
the Japanese and a buyer here, the
American firms claim they were forced
to deal through a Japanese middleman
and hence pay higher prices than the
Japanese concerns who bought directly,
also that their orders were laid aside
until those of their competitors had
been filed
To correct this condition the Amer
Jean dealers organized and refused to
buy from the Japenese agents in this
country Trade was affected for sew
eral months. but through the efforts OF
the Japanese ambassador at Washing
ton and the American embassy at
Toxic the difficulty was finally settled.

Mystery in Double Role Lived by the
Duke of Portland Is Puzzle OF
Present Day in Eng.
land
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press- s,
NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Attorneys act
ing for the duke of Portland are gather
ing every bit of evidence they can hero
regarding the affairs of Robert Caldwell,
who told a sensational story in the Lon
don courts last week regarding the all
legged dual life of the fifth duke of Port
land during the hearing of the case
brought by the heirs of Il. G. Druce,
who, it was claimed, was the real duke
of Portland.
Caldwell takes the stand next Friday
for cross examination and he will be
confronted with mass of facts that
will be used as the basis of an effort to
shake his testimony that he arranged to
bury T. G. Druce when the latter de-
cided to abandon his double life and live
as the duke of Portland only. To carry
out the scheme lead was placed in a
coffin and buried as Druces body.
One of the affidavits obtained here was
made, it is stated, by Nathaniel Inch,
who declared that he and two other men
now living in New York worked with
the witness in Londonderry at the time
the supposed duke was buried, and that
Caldwell was at no time away from the
place where they were employed. Mr..
Inch is positive in his assertion that
Caldwell never knew either Druce or
the duke of Portland, and that he had
nothing to do with the alleged mock
funeral which he declared was conducted
by him.
Mr.. Inch has known Caldwell for nearly
fifty-three years and has been associated
with him for nearly forty years. From
1857 he had known the witness, with
whom he worked in several places, and
when the two were in New York they
lived together for some time before Cald-
well married.
Other ,affidavits of an important char
acter will be obtained, it is expected,
within the next few days.
