strength, the stock market shifted
abruptly to acute weakness when II
became known that conditions In the
steel trade were disorganized. Con-

the trade was intended. threatening
severe cuts in prices and probably
poor results In earnings. The market
broke badly in consequence. Rumors
of E. H. Harriman's bad health IN
tensified the weakness The earlier
strength in the market was caused
largely by reflection of Frightening
market conditions abroad by the au'
thorization of the Erie bond issue, the
increase In Peoples Gas dividend ana
rumors of other dividend increases.

Special Dispatches From California to
Japanese Papers Cause Uneasi-

Toxic, Feb 20-The special CORE
Francisco correspondent continues to
represent the situation as most alarm
ing. These specials claim that the
anti-Japanese sentiment is rapidly
spreading, and that the war feeling in
America is general, The specials,
widely circulated and copied, contrib
ute to sustain the feeling of uneasi-
ness among the Japanese people.
The Nichi Nichi, paper owned by
X. Kato, the Japanese ambassador TO
England, which commented with great
bitterness during the earlier stages OF
the anti-Japanese legislation by the
California legislature In lengthy edi-
torial on the anti-Japanese sentiment
in America, published today. says:
Americans continue TO regard Ja-
pan with suspicion and this ill'feel-
ing continues notwithstanding the ef'
forts of the Japanese government and
people TO prove the sincerity and cor
diality of their feelings. This distrust
extends throughout Europe. 1t Is in
comprehensive to our people why
America and Europe continues TO re-
gard Japan as seeking war. Two wars
were sufficient We want peace in the
future. War with America could only
be forced by the United States threat
ening the independence OF Japan. lt
is unnecessary for America to fortify
itself against Japan"
The editorial concludes by quoting
the text OF tine Roosevelt telegram to
the California legislature expressing
the belief that the passage of the bill
would lead to serious consequences
The paper contends that this mes
sage shows that even the federal gov
ernment regarded war as probable,
