OFDR. CURRY
TIME or ITS FERMENTATION NOT
 FIXED.
MT. Underwood, as Senior Member of the Alabama Delegation in House WiII Call Up the
 Matter.

Washington. Dec. 3.--(Special. )--The Alabama delegation has not made ar- engagements as to when the ceremonies In connection with presenting the statue of J. L. NJ. Curry will take place.
 It had been suggested that the statue be accepted by Congress before the Christmas recess but some of the mem bers understand that the House man. agers are pressing for eulogies of de- ceased Congressman to be delivered be- fore the holidays inasmuch as there will be little actual legislation until January because of the delay in making up the committees. It has been s,iS- gested to the Alabamians that they pay their tributes of respect to the mem ories of the late Senators Morgan and Pettus before the recess Is taken.
 Some of the members of the deIega- tion for this reason are in favor of not having the statue ceremonies occur in the same month as most, if not all, the delegation will want to make addresses and to have to prepare them for two events will require more time than Is now at their disposal.
 As Mir. Underwood Is the senior mem ber of the Alabama delegation in the House 1t will devolve upon him to call nm the resolution and fix the time for presenting the statue of Dr. Curry.

RECEIVER FOR FAIR
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION OWES
 CREDITORS BIG SUM.
Prcsident Tucker Says Appointment Of Receiver Will Not Affect
 Tke Opentae of The ka.f
 Next Summer. .9

Norfclk, Va, Dec, 3--A decree sign ed by United States District Judge WaddilI was entered in the Federal court here today, directing all parties in interest to appear before him in Nor folk at noon tomorrow to hear applica- tion for a receiver for the Jamestown Exposition Company by the Con F. Curran Printing Company, of St. Louis, a judgment against creditor for S2l.- 2T3 who Is suing in equity on behalf of itself and all other creditors of the exL osition similarly situated.
 The plaintiff alleges that John Monk. one of the exposition construction contractors, also suing for receiver ship, is not & judgment creditor and that the court Is without Jurisdiction to appoint a receiver in the Monk action, asks a dismissal of this and the consolidation of all litigation of every description against the Jamestown Ex- position Company, or trusts created in connection herewith into one cause and that a receiver be named to take charge and manage the affairs of the company for the preservation of its valuable assets as a whole.
 President Tucker of the Exposition Company said today:
 While I know nothing of the matter in detail, I presume it is likely that a receiver will be appointed. The ap- pointment, however. of a receiver will in no way affect the opening of the exposition next year: that is all, how ever, a matter of subsequent deter mination."

AoKI IS RECALLED
JAP AMBASSADOR NOTIFIES ROOsE-
 WELT AND ROOT.
Many People Believe the Recall Has Some Important Significance --He Was Net Popular i'm
 Diplomatic Circles.

Washington, Dec, 3-Viscount Aokt, the Japanese ambassador to the United states, talked briefly and reservediy today regarding the instructions given him by his government to return home for the purpose of making a repori on affairs In which Japan is interest edIy jointly with the United States The Amhassador this afternoon cor dially received a representative Of the Associated Press.
 q am going home" the Ambassador said, flor the purpose of making ver- bal report to my government. There are many things to report on, things that I have heard and seen in this country. They can be made better verbally than in writing. There Is no other significance to the visit. l shall discuss immigration in addition to other questions in which my govern ment is interested. My return cannot be construed in any way as an indica- tion of unfriendliness on the part of Japan for the United States.
 ''The American government knows very well that Japan Is disposed to be one of her best friends and to remain on terms of the greatest amity with her. Any other idea or suggestion is foolish to entertain. The question of the immigration difficulty is not at all a serious one and in my judgment 1t Will be SeLticu SaLlSIAcLOTIiy. MY Tc- turn, repeat, has no bearing on the relations to the United States and Japan. Our relations are friendly and hope will remain so.
 "There Is no reason why they should be otherwise, but on the contrary, every reason why they should continue good"
 How long will you remain in JaIan?"

 Are you coming Sack?' 3 That I don't know" replied Count Aoki.
 Count Aoki. if time permits. will look into the general question of Japanese immigration on the Pacific coast be- fore he sails for home. He had intend ed doing this earlier in the year and had practically made all arrangements for a trip to the coast. For what seemed good reasons. however, the trip was for the time abandoned. The Japan csc government Is anxious to hear from the ambassador personally the situa- ton on the coast as he views 1t. and the Ambassador today indicated that he would make it matter of inquiry on his way home.
 The Ambassador reiterated the opinion that there would be satis- factory outcome of the pending inn migration question betweent the United States and Japan.
 The most positive statement Is made at the Japanese embassy that Count Aokfs recall is not the result of aBy dissatisfaction at his course while here. The Ambassador expects to leave Washington on his homeward trip before Christmas and during his absence MT. Miyaoka tho counsellor of the embassy will act as Charge q Affaires

Receivers of Southern Steel Company
 Decide sn Action.

A meeting of the creditors has been called for De- cember 13. and pending this conference the business of the company will be suspended.
 It is intimated that the report to be made to the creditors will contain some startling statements as to the business condition of the bankrupt corporations. It is now generally believed that the Southern Steel Company will disinte- grate and that it's component companies will revert to the original owners. The company is capitalized at $25.0o0. oov.

Probable suecessor of Aokl.

Tokio, Dec. 3.-The probable resig- nation of Viscount Aoki. Japanese Am bassador to the United States. has been rumored for some weeks, but the ru- nor has been consistently denied. It is admitted now, however, that Ann bassador Aoki may return to Japan at an early day.
 The Foreign Ambassador declines to say if this means the resignation of the Ambassador. In the event that Ambassador Aoki decides not to re- turn to Washington there Is a strong probability that he will be succeeded by Baron Kaneko, a former special envoy to the United States. or Baron Chinda, Vice Minister at the Foreign Office.
 Baron Chinda is well known in Amer lea, where he was educated. He IS extremely active and very sincere in endeavoring to overcome the immigra- tion difficulty.
