NEW YORK. Aug. j.-United States
secret service men and United States
Steel corporation detectives alike are
worried over mysterious Japanese who
has edged his way in TO the central seat
of the congressional Investigation of
the steel trust. which has been going on
for n week at the city hall.
The oriental stranger is of unusually
large features and an eye as inscrut-
able as a sculptured "Buddha.' - Every
day half an hour before the house hear
ing, and that is invariably an hour
before they actually begin-the Japn-
nese has come, smiling impersonally at
other arrivals and pictures on the walls
and has pulled a chair close to the wit
ness stand. The stranger never leaves
the seat once he has taken il until the
chairman declares the committee ad-
journed or orders all outsiders out be-
cause OF an executive session.
When Admiral Togo arrived at the
city hall TO call on Mayor Gaynor, and
City Hall park was thronged with q
shouting. pushing mob and police bugles
japanese sat tight in the chair. A clerk
of the committee was curious over his
apparent Indifference to the nearness OF
the great Japanese warrior,
az Did YOU know asked the clerk,
"that Admiral Togo is out there?'
"Yes,' said the little man, shortly,

thank you very much.
So far as is known these are the
only words except murmured apologies
which the stranger has uttered at the
hearings,
OF course there is nothing in the steel
hearings which is not open TO all the
world, The interest of the steel corpor-
alton and also of the United States
government is 10 find out Just what
system of espionage the yellow stranger
represents and how far that system ex'
tends To that end United States
