JAPANESE TREATY
IN FORCE MONDAY

NEW YORK. July IL = The new
treaty of commerce and navigation be-
tween the United States and Japan went
into operation today. replacing the old
treaty negotiated during Secretary Ores
hams administration.
The important point of difference be-
tween the two conventions lies in the
omission from the new convention Of
the paragraph in the old. relating to
immigration restrictions which was oh
jectionable to the Japanese, the United
States relying upon the honor of Japan
to carry out the spirit of existing I'M
dertakings which prevent the departure
of Japanese coolies to America.
There is also provision for the sub
stitution OF the new japanese customs
taiff for the existing general conven-
tional rates. 1t happens that a similar
treaty which Japan has negotiated with
France does not become effective until
August and in conformity with an
agreement between the United States
and Japan the new tariff rates will not
apply to goods imported into Japan from
America until that date.

FRENCHMAN FINDS
NEW YORK AMAZING"

HOBOKEN. N. j., July 17-Dr
Charles Pranard. deputy chief of the bu-
reau of social providence OF France, who
is here to look over this city's housing
methods, finds conditions in New York
"amazing" He started off with an ex-
animation OF East Side tenements, hop
ing to get some hints for improving
housing conditions in France. but mis-
first glimpse led him to think that this
city had better send to Paris for instruc-
ton.
Il inspected several tenements in
lower Manhattan" he said on his re-
turn, "and found the tenants paying IS
a month rent per room. Many of these
rooms are so dark that they should be
vacated at once as unfit for human be-
ings to live in. They are also veritabie
death traps.
Five hundred dollars is the average
earning OF unskilled laborers in New
York. out of which they have to pay $3.50
a year for their small rooms. This is
about one-third of their total income.
In Paris unskilled workmen earn $3.50
a year on the average. but their rents
are only $50 for three or four rooms,
that is only a fifth OF their earnings.
We feel in France that the rent should
not take more than one-fifth OF the
earnings"

Are You an Heir?

1t is estimated that there are some
thing like 10000 persons scattered
throughout the United States and Cam
ada who are entitled to moneys and
lands now tied up in the English High
Court of Chancery and elsewhere ow-
ing to the inability of lawyers to To-
cate them. The great trouble is that
foreign lawyers, when searching for
lost heirs, almost invariably advertise
for them in London and Edinburgh news
papers. AS these papers are seldom seen
ia this country, of course the missing
heir never knows of the good fortune
that is awaiting him or her, and thus
the case drags along in the courts for
an indefinite time. AS an aid to those
interested in Chancery cases, and who
believe they are entitied to an inheri-
tance an enterprising publisher has pre-
pared an authentic list of persons who
have been advertised for during the
past 100 years, including the famous Bo-
gardus, Sir Frances Drake, Page, SPRING
err, Townley. Jennings and Harlem es-
tates, and unsettled estates in England,
Germany, France, ireland, Scotland and
other countries The list is a very long
one, and not only gives the full name
of the heir that is being searched for.
but also the name and address of the
attorney having charge of the estate in
Chancery. Any person can secure de-
tails of this list by sending a 2-cent
stamp to the Royal Register, ISL Met.

SWAPPING PULP|Ts DON'T
PLEASE CONGREGATIONS
One Church Is PadIocked and
Another Is Protected by the
Police

NEW YORK. July 17.-An exchange of
pastors pleased the congregation of the
Catholic church of ST. Stephen of Hun
gary here no more. apparently. than it
did the Hungarian church at South
Bend, Ind.
The Rev. John Froelich, who came here
from South Bend to take the place of
the Rev. Paul Kovacs, is looking today
for legal and ecclesiastical authority TO
remove from the door a paddock at
tached by his angry parishioners. Dis
patches from South Bend say that Faith
er Kovacs occupied Father Froelich $
place there yesterday only after the po-
lice had subdued a riot and made sew
eral arrests.
The trustees of st. Stephens had made
their own choice of q priest to take
Father Kovacs' place and did not fancy
the arrangement between their for
mer pastor and Father Froelich to ex-
change places.
When the latter arrived at the church
he found the door locked. An appeal to
the police brought squad of bluecoats
to keep order, but the authorities re-
fused to interfere in the church dispute.
A locksmith summoned by the priest re-
fused to undertake the job when he
encountered a scowling mob of 800 par
ishioners massed about the door.
The trustees placed a guard at the door
which was still there today awaiting
Father Froelich's next move.

AGED SEA CAPTAIN
DIES IN NEW JERSEY

MONTCLAIR. N. j., July 17.-Capt
Charles Burgess. of Brooklyn. the oldest
sea captain on the rolls Of the New York
Marine society, is lead at the home of
his son here. He was nearly 80 years old
and had followed the sea from the age of
10 years. He was educated in the Brit
ish navy and received charge of his first
American vessel during the civil war,
carrying troops and supplies for the Unit
ed States government.
Prior to the Spanish-American war
when there was strained feeling between
the two nations. Captain Burgess was
anchored at a pier In Seville, Spain.
The American consul advised him not
to fly his flag, for fear of trouble with
the crowds along the water front. The
captain Indignantly refused to lower the
flag
IT am a peaceful man." he told the
consul, but If any man tries to haul
down the flag he will have to fight all
the way to the top OF the mast"
The flag flew unmolested throughout his
stay in Seville.
