Berlin, Aug. 20.-Despite the 60.
crecy observed the Republics CORE
spondent today received, from two
sources, confirmation oil the report
recently cabled, that the president Of
q pool OF eight Japanese banks, has
assured Berlin bankers during nego-
tiations for government loan, that
an effort would be made to gain pos
session Of the Philippine Islands, by
peaceful conquest"
The statement was construed to
mean that Japan would purchase
the coveted Island from the United
States.
1t is learned however, that the
Japanese words standing for "pesc.'
full conquest" are in German "Fried.
liche Eroberung," meaning without
great effort" q conquest without
war being formally declared.
Because Of the stringency in the
money market, the proposition to
place the Japanese bond issue here
cannot be considered until October
and will not be considered at all II

WEAKEN TENEMENT LAW
SHERIDAN HAS BILLS.
They Might Open Way for Bribery
and BIackmaI.
/ " Tslerranh Id % T,ribune. ]

Ai5an:-. March S.-FIve bills embracing q
comprehensive scheme for weakening the tene-
lnent house law for New York City were intro
duced to-day by Assemblyman Sheridan. a
Democrat from The Bronx. one OF them con-
tains one Of the most dangerous amendments
ever proposed to the present law protecting
the tenement dwelers. This one authorizes the
Tenement House Commissioner or any OF MS
deputies or superintendents in the alteration OF
OLD tenement houses 10 approve methods not in
accordance with the law If such other modes
or systems viii answer the same purpose as the
law intends"
With such discretion In the hands Of an IN
scTupulous commissioner or dishonest subordi-
mates with an honest commissioner. the Tene-
ment House Department. politicians here be-
Heve. would become a hotbed Of petty graft and
graft not petty. They say the passage OF
such an amendment would leave open the way
TO bribery on the part Of interruptions land
lords and builders, or blackmail from tenement
house inspectors and officials Of higher grade
Tho full text Of this proposed amendment reads
follows:
The Commissioner of the Tenement House De-
rartment, any of his deputies or Superln-
tendents IN charge OF branches OF said depart
ihehl established In different boroushs. shAu
have power IN improvements or alterations ID
I'D tenement houses in cases where II might be
iHlTraeucable or impossible TO comply with the
Ietter Of The law without injury TO other parts
Of the structure or materially interfering with
the same to approve of other modes systems
proposed by the owner or the owners represen-
tatlye, provided such other methods or systems
Viii answer the same purpose as the law in
tends.
Another bill eNempts tenements now or here
after built not exceeding three stories in height,
from the provision of the law requiring freproof
bukheads at the roof. with flreproof doors and
a iTeproof stairs leading thereto II substitutes
= scutJle in tho roof and an iron ladder leading
st. Still another bill amends the law declar-
ing thai every tenement shall have scuttle or
bulkhead in the roof by excepting peaked or
slantiDg roofs CT old buildings so shaped as TO
make bulkheads scurtles dangerous.
A fourth bill provides that Old two story and
basement houses constructed originally for pri-
waite dwellings shall not be considered tenements
until occupied by more than three families. His
other bill is a technical amendment specifying
that the Tenement House Commissioner shall
issue certificate that the tenement complies
with the law and rules of his department within
1ive days after the Superintendent Of Buildings
has certified that the building is ready for occu-
Tancy. instead Of within ten days al present
at course this would cut down the time avail
able for adequate inspection by the tenement
house inspectors.
