Japan FRCWNS
ON EMIGRATION

PARIS, March 24-The Temps
prints an interview between it's for
eign editor, A. Tardeiu and Baron
Takahira, the Japanese Ambassador at
Washington, who, in reply to a query
as to whether Japan is satisfied with
the understanding on immigration
reached last month, said:
1t IS necessary to speak, not of
definite understanding, but of nego-
tiations still progressing at Tokyo,
Certain elements in Japan will not
be satisfied, but, on the whole, it will
be approved. My government, at the
present time does not desire Japanese
Workmen to go to America. 1t pre-
fers that they remain in Japan, or
go to Korea or FormOsa"
Baron Takahira believes that the
understand Will stop completely the
emigration of coolies from Japan to
San Francisco and Hawaii.
Mr- Tardieu asked Mr.. Takahira if
Japan would eventually be disposed
to sign a treaty with the United
States, which would be analogous to
the FranCO-Japanese agreement guar
anteeing the territorial status quo for
each cOuntrys Pacific possessions.
The Japanese Ambassador replied:
America is not accustomed to
sign such treaties. If, however, the
Washington government should ex-
press @ desire to begin pOurparlers in
that direction l think Tokyo would
not refuse to examine the problem"

TO RESTRICT WORK All
POSTOFFICES ON SUNDAY

WASHINGTON, D. c., March "a
(SpeciaD Senator Penrose is press
ing bill that has attracted wide
spread attention throughout the coun-
try. 1t is intended to prevent bank
ing and the handling of money or
ders and registered letters at post
offices on Sunday. Recently there
has been a general demand that all
unnecessary work at postoffices on
Sunday shall be prevented by law.
Church organizations in every State
have strongly Endorsed the bill in
troduced by Senator Penrose and the
Senator has received many letters
from church workers commencing him
for his efforts to have the government
prevent unnecessary postoffice work.
Many of those who have written have
emphasized the fact that such action
will prove a wholesome example in
all directions where the dissertation
Of the Sabbath is tolerated. Senator
Penrose has succeeded in lining up
all of the other members of the
Postoffice Committee for his bill

GOLD" MOTOR
PROMOTER IN BAD
Jury Said it Was COnfi-
denCe Game.

CHICAGO, ILL, March 24.-(Spe
cial) -Benson BidwelI and his son.
Charles F., promoters of the Bidwell
Electric Company, "a cold motor,
concern have been found guilty of
operating a confidence game and Of
obtaining money under false preten-
ses. The former is a penitentiary Of
Tense, while the penalty for the lat
ter includes a term in the house of
correction and a fine of $4,000 or
less.
Benson Bidwell is a brother of
George and Austin Bidwel1, who it is
said, defrauded the Bank of England
out of $5,0O0,00O. He started the
electric company in 1896. He declared
that he had invented an electric mo-
tor that would not burn out. He
also asserted that he was the inven-
tor of the trolley car and of the
electric fan.
Investors from all parts of the
United States answered his advertise
ments, sending to the company a to-
tai of $225,O00, according to the
books of the concern. Charles F. Bid
well, the son, was appointed secre-
tary and general manager of the
company. The son received 1856, 900
shares of the $2,50O,O0O stock of the
concern.
The State brought forward expert
electricians who declared that the
motor invented by the elder Bidwell
was impractical A model OF the mo-
tor was also exhibited In operating
it carbonic acid was pumped in
to the apertures.
The expanding gas caused the out
side of the machine to be coated with
frost, but the State declared that the
armature was not affected and was
likely to burn out, as in an ordinary
motor. In support of this contention
Miss Palmer testified that during an
exhibition of the machine at an cleo
trical exposition the apparatus be-
came SO hot that smoke curled out
of it, and that Charles Bidwell sat
near the exhibit blowing cigar smoke
about it so that spectators might not
discover the real cause of the fumes
Benson Bidwell maintained through
out the trial that he had invented a
real motor, and denounced the pro
ceedings as part Of a plot to wreck
his company for the benefit of rival
concerns. He accused Miss Palmer
of having sold the company's secrets
to its rivals. His son accused Miss
Palmer of jealousy.

SAME OLD STORY
IN COTTON MARKET
Waiting Game Played by
Local Traders.

1t was the same old weary story
for the cotton market yesterday-the
narrative which has given the friends
of the staple the "blues." All mark
cts shared in the settling process,
though New York and New Orleans
reached the same result by different
means" as the Supreme Court would
say. The former market opened at
the highest for the day and gradually
tapered, except for brief rallies, I'M
til the close. The Southern market
began practically at the lowest and
improved as the session proceeded
Both markets however, closed below
the last for the day before, the net
losses being 2 to II points Another
contrast between the markets was
that one suffered the great loss for
October, while in the other that posi-
ton nearly held it's own
The unexpected slump at Liverpool
in the last hour of that market was
hard blow for this side. The seem
ing mystery of the diverse courses Of
the American markets was due to
the fact that New York opened before
the crash in the English market. while
New Orleans opened just in time to
catch the full blow.
New York'S first figures were 3
points lower than for the close on
Monday Cables clipped off 10 points
from the active positions at one blow.
This was the low point, the market
rallying slowly. At the close a few
points were lost, the final being at
net losses for the day of 2 points for
October to II points for July Spot
prices were marked off points.
New Orleans opened Is to 10 points
lower on English advices, and for
time prices fiuctuated In the after
noon the high point was reached, but
before the close the market ran off
several points. The last was to
points below the close Monday.
Spot quotations were unchanged.
Liverpool opened triae lower for
the near positions and little higher
for new crop contracts. Values for
the active positions were around the
opening figures at the early afternoon
call, but the market broke badly
before the close, which was quiet, 5
to II points below the last for Mon
day. The market is due 2 points up
this morning. Spots were reduced s
points, the sales being 5000 bales.
In the local spot market the day
was absolutely featureless. If the
buyers had orders they greatly de-
ceived the factors, who retaliated by
making no offerings. Quotations are
unchanged from Monday.

DREW STRAWS TO

ASHEVILLE, N. c., March "a
(SpeciaD "A bill asking a divorce

Well-known young people here, who

lot falling to young Brookshire and
Miss Kathlene Gentry.
'Whereupon,' the complaint says,
they were driven in carriage to
Asheville, where a marriage license
was secured and the ceremony per

never lived together, and that upon

repudiated The young couple say

RULES FOR GOOD DIGESTION
A Simple Way to Prevent and Cure
Stomach Trouble

The sufferer from indigestion and
stomach weakness should eat slowly
and chew the food thoroughly.
But as the majority of people have
already so abused the delicate stom-
ach that they suffer with distress af-
ter eating, flatulence, headaches, coat
ed tongue, spots before the eyes and
the many other symptoms of indiges-
ton, it is necessary for them to use
Mi-o-na, the only remedy that will
strengthen the muscular walls of the
stomach and increase the flow Of gas
trio juices so that Indigestion will
be cured.
Mona puts the whole digestive
system in such shape that it can
care for all the food that is eaten with
out pain or distress.
Dodson's Pharmacy gives an abso-
lutte guarantee with every 50-cent box
to refund the money unless Mona
does all that is claimed for it, A guar
antee like this must inspire your con-
fidence in the remedy. 1927
