FORMAL DENIAL MADE
OF JAPAN'S HOSTILITY
International Press Association in
Toxic Asserts Friendliness
for United States.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
TOXIC, March 15.-The recent reports
in the United States in regard to the al
legged unfriendly attitude Of Japan toward
that country have caused much comment
here, and today a general meeting Of the
International Press Association was held
for the purpose of sending out a formal
denial Of the rumors The meeting, which,
was held at the Japan Press Club, was
attended by every representative in To-
kio OF American and European news
papers. q
A formal denial was made of tliA truth
of the reports referred to and a resolu-
tion Was unanimously adopted declaring
that in view Of the persistent reports
from abroad in regad to the warlike at
titude OF Japan toward the United States
it had been deemed advisable to call a
meeting of the newspaper men in Japan
representing American and European
newspapers for the purpose of denying
these rumors. The resolution declared
that newspaper men in Japan are totally
unable to discover any basis in the cir
clmstances or sentiment in Japan war
ranting the disquieting speeches now be-
ing made in America in regard to the
alleged warlike attitude of the former
country.

IS .kA|SER'S KEEPER
Chancellor to Be Responsible
for Thrones UnWisdorn.
REICHSTAG VOTES FOR IT
Arbitration Treaty Between Ger.
many and United States Is
Pending.

BERLIN. March 15.-Replying to an in
quiry by Prof. Richard Eickhoff, radical
liberal, in the .reichstag today, Foreign
Secretary Won Schoen said that negotia-
tions with the United States looking to a
German-American arbitration treaty had
in no sense been broken off.
Our propositions, relative to such an
arbitration treaty.. have been presented
to the federal government at Washington,
which as yet has not replied" said the
secretary.
Following discussion of the appro-
priation for the salary of the imperial
chancellor, the reichstag adopted, by a
small majority, the motion of the social
ist member, Herr Ledebour, demanding
the Introduction Of a. bill making the
chancellor responsible to the reichstag for
his official acts, and also extending his
responsibility to cover all acts and doc
uments made by the emperor, for which
responsibility he shall be answerable in
court Of law.
This motion was the outcome of the
discussion of the responsibilities of the
chancellor at the time of the emperor s
famous interview I'm the fall of 1908. In
this interview, which was published first
in the London Daily Telegraph, Emperor
William was quoted as reproaching the
English for their suspicious of Germany,
and with saying, with other things:
You English are mad mad as March
hares. My actions ought to speak for
themselves, but you listen not to them,
but to those who misinterpret and dstort
them.
This is a personal insult, which 1 feel
and resent
The publication caused a furore. Rad
icals. liberals and socialists of the reich
stag argued that some measure of legal
responsibility should be imposed upon the
ministers.
The agitation in this direction. however,
lacked support. No action was taken.
