SUMMING UP IN HARDEN CASE.

Berlin Dec. H-The hearing of the Harden-Von
Nolike libel suit was resumed mere this morning
A, the opening Of the session the Judge asked Count
Kuno Won Motke whether he had resigned from the
army as result Of the articles published by Hsr-
den in Die zukunft." The count responded en-
phaticaIly the affirmative
The state Attorney. DR.. Isenbiei then opened the
plesdinss and demanded the imposition OF sentence
Of four months Imprisonment against Harden Refer
ring 10 Harden tiyes the prosecutor believed mar
dens articles had been actuaGed b. purely poilclcal
purposes but in this instance he had injured the
FatherIand and therefore merited punishment The
State Attorney added that he had received letter
threatening him with death If the verdict of the
court was unfavorable to Harden.
Count Won Motke. speaking in his own behalf
said he had discarded mis- army uniform because ne
did not want it besmircned. He denied that any
political group ca-narilla existed near the per-
son OF the Emperor. The only group in the house
hold CT his majesty. the count said was the i'm
periaI family circle. which was loved and non
ored throughout the land.
Herr Bernstein. lawyer for the defence. reviewed
the incidents OF both trials. He said that allow
ance should be made for Harden because OF public
services which Re had rendered. Harden, the at
tornev said had no reason doubt the word OF Mrs
von Elbe: ne was impressed by Prince Won Bis
narcks statements concerning the Liebenberger in
cident and the testimony OF Professor Schweninger
regarding Won Moltke. The passages of the articles
in question, Herr Bernstein continued, had a raise
meaning by detaching them from the general con-
text Harden had merely told the truth. ami ror
this no must suffer. III conclusion, the attorney
protested against imprisonment for his client
The court then adjourned until next Thursday.

WISHES MET
JGpGHs Plans to- Curb Emigration
to United States.

Toxic, Jan 1.-The japanese government late
yesterday evening handed to Ambassador
o'Brien a memorandum containing reply to
the suggestions offered by the United States
government some weeks ago whereby the
American government sought friendly way TO
assist Japan in perfecting plans for the future
restriction Of emigration. thus effectively avoid
ing possibility OF friction over the question.
While the contents of the memorandum are
carefully guarded both at the japanese Foreign
Once and the American Embassy, The Associ-
Rted Press has reason to believe that the MEM
orandum is couched IN the most friendly terms.
and that while IL accepts some of the American
suggestions 1t declines others Incompatible
with the dignity of Japan, and outlines plans for
further restriction of emigration to America.
The memorandum has been sent by cable to
Washington, from where ii is possible counter
suggestion will be forthcoming. but it is inti-
mated that Japan thinks the memorandum will
form basis which the two countries will
be able to reach a final and satisfactory under
standing.
Officials OF the japanese Foreign once have
said that the system controlling labor irImigra-
tion. which will be Immediately enforced, will
efectually avoid complaints which have arisen
in consequence of the mistakes of admnistra-
ton Of the regulations put into effect last
spring
While not desiring to shirk the responsibility
for tire mistakes, the officials of the Foreign
Once say that 1t would he foolish to charge the
Japanese government with wilfuI breach Of
faith.
The Japanese government. having carefully
investigated the details. discovered the cause
of the failure OF former plans. and now intends
to demonstrate its ability effectively 10 pre-
vent the emigration Of lahorers who are needed
in the development of Japan. The opinions of
American residents in Japan show confidence
in the sincerity of the japanese government
and its competency to control emigration as
well as its desire to maintain friendly relations
with America.
1t is pointed out that its concessions to Can
ada limiting emigration to that country are
part Of its entire scheme of control, because
Vancouver afforded an opportunity for large
numbers OF japanese to cross the border int
America A prominent Japanese Official said
to-day:
1t matters not whether America controls
emigration from Japan OF Japan controls emil
grafton to America. Difficulties must arise in
administration. Japan is now coping with a
difficult situation. resulting from mistakes Of
its own administration in the past.
I'VE have discovered the mistakes, and We
think that America should allow US to show
that we are willing and able TO recttfy them"
