FOR JAPAN'S GOOD.
Island Press Publishes Statement
Regarding Americas Proposal.

TOXIC. January 2S.-The foreign Office
has issued a statement, which is pub
lished in all Japanese newspapers today,
setting forth that the government is fully
satisfied with the good intentions of the
American government in connection with
the proposal for the naturalization of the
Manchurian railways, and the officials of
the department are now firmly convinced
that the American suggestion was ad-
yanced in a most friendly spirit and with
the desire to benefit Japan.

You don't claim that it was Mr.. Gla-
Wis who first called the attention of the
land Office to the suspicion against the
Cunningham claims?" asked Senator Mel
son.
"Oh. no. replied Mr.. Brandeis. They
had been brought to the attention of the
land Office by others
Resuming the examination of the wit
ness, Attorney Brandeis asked Mr. Gla-
Wis to tell of his trip to Washington and
what he did here.
Mr.. CLAWS said that after arriving in
Washington he told Mr.. Schwartz what he
had heard about the Alaskan coal cases
that there would be no investigation of
them and that they would all be clean
listed.
Field Chief Schwartz, the witness said,
agreed that something ought to be done,
and he promised to consult Commissioned
Ballinger about the matter.
Mr.. CLAWS made a remark about the
new regulations regarding entries on coal
lands as made by Commissioner Ballin-
ger: and he was Immediately asked what
changes had been made.

in Seattle were saying that the patents
would be issued without an investigation
did you give any reason why they said

chief of the bureau of chemistry of the
Department of Agriculture. at today's
hearing before the special District sub
committee which is investigating the To-
cal food problem.
A pleasant practice of oyster dealers of
shucking salt water oysters and then
putting them in fresh water, sometimes
near the mouth of a sewer, TO fatten, was
fully described by the chief chemist. The
more sewage the quicker the oyster fat

and other diseases due to filth. This

makes the salt water oyster swell up far
beyond it's natural size and turn white.
1t is to all intents and purposes an adul-
teration and the government is going
after all dealers guilty of the practice.
DR.. Wiley also told how dealers put
cold-storage chickens in warm water to
make them swell up and look fat. This
should be prohibited, he thought.

and to decide upon the lines to be inves-

G.ayis said, he received a letter from
Commissioner bennett, in which he stat
ed that wire had been sent to Mr..
CLAWS to come to Washington which
evidently had not been received, and ask
ing CLAWS to write Mr. Schwartz what
lie knew about the Alaskan coal claims,

versatfon with Commissioner Ballineer
The first thing Mr.. Ballinger told Mr.
CLAWS, 1T was testified, was that Mr.. Gfa-
Wis was to be put in charge of the Alaska
