TARIFF PARLEYS
BEGUN WITH JAPAN
Informal Understanding
Wanted in Behalf of Pa
cific Coast Products.
SILK FABRICS MAY BE
FAVORED IN RETURN
Opening of Canal Will Open At.
lantic Seaboard to Goods
from Mikado's Empire.

Toxic, Nov. 2o.-Negotiatlons are under
way between the Japanese Foreign Office
and Thomas Summons, American Consul
General at Yokohama, for an informal
understanding whereby Pacific Coast
products may be introduced into Japan
in large quantities as the result OF pro-
posed lowering OF Japan's tariff. THESE
negotiations are closely allied with the
study by both countries OF the effect OF
the opening OF the Panama Canal on COM
merce II Japan accords reductions to
Pacific Coast products. especially In
canned goods, California Wires, nuts,
dried fruits, wheat, -four and lumber
Japan will expect some sort OF reciprocai
treatment. For instance Japanese mer-
chants are specially DESTROYS OF obtaining
more favorable schedules from the United
States on silk fabrics, and it Is under
stood here that the new tariff bill pro-
vided for some reduction.
With Japan looking forward 10 a big
extension In trade, both In North and
South America the Investigations here
indicate that the United States on her
part should be benefited greatly by the
opening OF the canal in an increased
trade to Japan and its colonies. The ex-
portatlon OF products from the United
States 10 Japan is augmenting more
quickly than from other parts OF the
world.
An enlarged market for American goods
will be found in Corea after the canaPs
opening, in consequence OF the lower
freights and quicker delivery The I'M
portatlon would include American ma
chinery for mines and railways. steel for
bridges, automobiles, cotton manufact-
ures and rice from Texas and Louisiana.
Investigation In Hokkaido. the northern
island of Japan shows likelihood OF a
considerable increase Of exports TO the
United States. especially beans. canned
crab. shrimp and sardines. which are III
great demand In the Atlantic coast states.
For two years there has been spirited
competition between the European ana
the American buyers for the canned craD
OF Hokkaido. on account OF the better
shipping facilities the European buyers
have been enabled TO pay higher price.
As most OF these crab go To New York.
BUYERS will no doubt ship by direct
steamer from Yokohama TO New YORK.
The demand too. In tho United states
FOR Hokkaido beans is larger every year
There is also big demand in New YORK
and the Atlantic cities for Japanese oak
and timber
with the opening Of the Panama Canal
American buyers will doubtless purchase
directly and have their consignmen's
shipped by way OF American waterway
thus saving the profit that goes TO Ger
man and British merchants. Thus both
In exports and in imports the Atlantic
seaboard will benefit in trade by the COM
pletion Of the canal.

Washington, Dec. An earnest plea
that Congress have more regard for the
needs of the revenue cutter service and
that It provide more vessels has been
made TO Secretary McAdoo by Captain

Bertholf reported that through the SER
vice during the last year 5G lives were
saved, 2755 persons on board vessels IN
distress were assisted, 2ei were cared for
on the cutters and vessels valued at So
6177lO were assisted in time OF need.
In the year officers OF the service eX-
amined papers OF 25,09 ships and dealt
with SD violations OF the laws. The cut
ters removed or destroyed thirty-one dere-
licts and recovered others valued AZ SIS

All this was done FOR t2,i7l.532. about

the Ways and Means Committee when
the Presidents wants are known.

reached the boiling over point, and their
views will remain private, at least for the

Will Begin This Week
Shaping His Programme
for Legislation.
HOUSE COMMITTEES
TAKE UP SUBJECT
Two Bodies to Start Trust and
Monopoly Hearings - Some
Leaders Advise Delay.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Dec. 7-President Wilson
and administration leaders will begin this
week the shaping of an antitrust pro-
gramme OF Importance to the business
community almost equal to the tariff ana
currency reform. That the President ulti-
mately will dictate the fundamental pro-
visions of legislation amendatory TO the
Sherman law, as he has dictated TO Con-
gress regarding the tariff and currency
is not doubted.
Before the President concludes his con-
ferences with Senate and House leaders
on the trust question. however. he must
give serious consideration TO earnest sug-
gestions that the business world shall not
be crowded by legislation at this time
There is a growing impression In the two
branches of Congress that the enactment
OF tariff and currency bills, closely follow
ing each other, may prove about all that
business can stand for the present. The
announcement that these measures were
TO be followed by drastic amendments TO
the Sherman act might be fraught with
more or less danger, and there is no as
surance that disturbance would not fol-
low.
Nevertheless, both the President and
the House, in which body trust legislation
will originate, will at once wade into the
great issue OF trade monopoly and busi-
ness competition. Indications are that an
antitrust bill will be enacted before the
adjournment Of the present session. al
though there is a desire among national
legislators TO feel the pulse Of the people
before trying 10 settle within one year
three of the greatest issues before the
country.
The decision will rest with the Presi-
dent, despite the personal beliefs of the
men on Capitol Hill who must handle
trust legislation. This Is made apparent
by the fact that no member of the Senate
or House knows anything definite about
the trust programme they are expected 10
carry out, and there is, perforce, dispo-
sition TO await information from the
White House

hibit the boy scouts from marching in

though 1900 boy scouts from all over
the country had signified their inten-

he would tell them not to do so IL some
part of the inaugural program could
not be found for them.
1t is the wish of the national scout
committee to have the scouts do some
useful work during Inauguration, but
such work has not been found yet and
there will be great difficulty in making
a program for them before inaugura-

WHIT NAN AMAZED
BY HARLEM GRAFT
Spends Day in Going Over New
Evidence Against the Police
System Of Graft.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1I.-That docu
mentary evidence has been procured
which proves all estimates of polic'
graft in Harlem to have been ridicu
lously low. and raises the total levy

District Attorney Whitman yesterday
He made 1t after he had gone ovei
some newly discovered check stubs and
records. which, he said, will be submit
ted to the grand jury In an effort to
prove that inspector Sweeney, against
whom two indictments were voted Fri
day. levied toll on vice independently
Of the agencies under him. from whose
collections, 1t il contended, he also
claimed a percentage.
As Whitman was getting this evidence
in shape for presentation to the grand
Jury today, detectives in his employ
shadowed Inspector Sweeney on a'hur-
ried trip the latter made to New Jersey.
His every move was watched. and last
night a report was fled with Whitman.
Whitman says the documentary evi..
dence he has is sufficient to insure tho
indictment Of two plainclothes patrol
men in the Harlem district. who are
said to have been collectors. Indict-
ments against these men are expected
to be returned today.
Today. also. Patrolman Hartigan will
be called before the grand jury. Whit
man says he has authentic Information
from many sources regarding facts Of
which Hartigan Is supposed to have
knowledge. He desires to let the PATROL
man have a last chance to testify
freely.
Jacob Rouss, attorney, who, with
Louis Grant, represented Patrolman

tor for Capt Thomas w. Walsh. called
on Whitman yesterday. They were
together for many hours. Rouss said
he called regarding another case In
