RUSSIAN CLAIMS AGAINST
 A BRIDGEPORT COMPANY.
Creditors Secure Administration of Its
 Russian Business.

St. Petersburg, June 2.-Russian creditors. alleging claims of $15.0O0. have secured through the courts the administration of the Russian busi : ness of the Lake Torpedo Boat com pany of Bridgeport, Conn.
 The government also has entered claims for $478,000 additional claims to the amount of $2.000.000 damages for alleged breach of contract respecting the construction of four submarines.
 The court record mentions undis- closed American creditors, but the abrogation of the treaty of 1882 leaves the matter subject to Russian law. under which Russian creditors must be paid first.
 The police today visited the hotel apartments of Frederick Brown Whit ney of Washington. D. C.. the com- pany's American lawyer, and seized his property.
 Mir. Whitney says that the incident is without international importance, as Russian suffrance determines the status in Russia of American citizens in the absence of a treaty.

THE VAN scHAIk's SEPARATE. Captain and His Wife Divide Goods
 She Disliked Farm.

Amsterdam, N. Y. June 2.-The marriage of the Lebanon Hospital nurse to the man whom her ministra- tion brought back to health, was re- garded as a romance at the time, but it assumed tragic proportions last week when Captain and Mrs. William Van Schaick divided their worldly goods and signed papers of separa- tion.
 The married life of the Van Schaicks has not been a happy one. Rural life was distasteful to Mrs. Van Schaick, and she and her husband drifted further and further apart.
 The farm purchased by New York friends, together with it's contents, was disposed of Saturday. Captain Van Schaick returned to New York, where he still hopes to find happiness among his former friends.

 Bryan's Plan
ACCEPT IN PRINCIPLE uNIVERs-
 AL PEACE IDEA.
SECRETARY NOTIFIED
Japanese Ambassador Calls at State Department-Not Committed to Ap- proval of Any of the DetaiIs

Washington, June ?. = Viscount Chinda, the ambassador from Japan late today called upon Secretary Bry : an with formal notification that Japan had accepted in principle the proposed plan advanced by the United States for universal peace.
 Conditions of Proposed Treaty.
 Signitories of the treaty proposed in MT. Bryan's plan would agree to re- frain from hostilit1es for period of at least nine months while any con- hicting claims were under considera- tion by an international joint commfs- sion In the case of Japan. as with the ten other nations that have re- ceived the proposal favorably, the re sponse applies solely to the general principle involved and none has com mitted itself to approval of any of the details of the project. Therefore it may be many months before the ten- tative draft of the convention which MT. Bryan submitted to the various enlbassies and legations can be re- duced to a form which will receive their unqualified approval.
 Has No Bearing on Pending Contro-
 versy.
 The statement by the Japanese am- bassador that his government was prepared to give careful and favorable consideration to the peace proposal has no bearing whatever upon the ne- gotiations now in progress between the two countries regarding the California alien land legislatios. During his call upon Mir. Bryan this afternoon the am bassador discussed this subject from various angles for half an hour, but without any definite results.
 Japanese Rejoinder Not Yet Presented
 The Japanese foreign office has noG yet cabled the ambassador definite in structions regarding the submission of it's rejoinder to the last American note, and it is known that it is conducting an original investigation as a basis for it's rejoinder.

MEATS AND FLOUR
 NOT ON FREE LIST
Senate Sub Committee Alters the Un-
 derwoed Bill.

Washington, June 2-Meats and flour will not go on the free list in the democratic tariff law if the recommen- dation of the senate finance sub b-com- mittee in charge of the agricultural schedule is accepted.
 This important alteration of the Underwood bill as 1t passed the house was determined upon today by the Williams, ShiveIy and Gore It was decided, in carrying out the determin- alton to perfect the Underwood bill by equalizfng raw materials and their products, that it would be wiser to levy nominal duties on meats and four products than to put livestock and grain on the free list.
 Meat DutiabIe at 10 Per Cent.
 In accordance with this decision the sub- committee in revising the schedule took from the free list in the house bill fresh meats, beef, nut ton and pork and made it dutiable at ten per cent. ad valorem. Wheat flour was restored to the dutia.ble list at the specific rate of 45 cents a barrel. with other wheat products at ten per cent. ad valorem and the Underwood duty on oats was reduced from ten cents per bushel to six cents per bush el with a compensatory duty on oat meal said to be approximately five per cent. ad valorem. This rate on oat meal was not definitely determined, but it is assured that the recommenz dation will be to take oatmeal from the free list Cattle. sheep and hogs will be left as they are in the pro- posed bill. dutiab1e at ten per cent. ad valorem. and the Underwood duty of ten cents a bushel on wheat will stand.
 Expect Approval of Changes.
 These recommendations will be made to the finance committee late this week or early next week, and the senators who propose the change be- lieve it will have the approval of the majority members and also of the democratic caucus.
 Soon after the passage of the Un- derwood bill by the house there were many protests against differentiating between raw materials and their pro- ducts and it was one of the first fea- lures to be taken up with the senate leaders and President Wilson. Several weeks ago the committee determined to equalize the rates one woy or an other and a few days ago President Wilson was consulted about the mat ter by Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, and Senator Williams.
 Sugar Schedule Approved.
 Another development today was the approval without change of the sugar other schedules advanced to varying stages f completion in the sub-com- mittees. It also was announced by Senator Shively of the finance com mittee that in his opinion the tariff bill as it goes to the senate commit tee will be a lower bill in the aggre- gate than the Underwood bill
