JAPAN MAY REDUCE
DUTIES FOR U. S.
Conference May Result in Cut in Rates
on California Fruits, Wines and
Lumber; Reciprocity Expected.


Lumber; Reciprocity Expected.
Toxic, Japan, Dec. Negotiations
are under way between the Japanese
foreign office and Thomas SammOns,
United States consul general at Hoko-
hama, for an informal understanding
whereby Pacific coast products may
be introduced into Japan in large
quantities as the result of a proposed
lowering Of Japan's tariff These ne
gotiations are closely allied with the
study by both countries of the opening
of the Panama canal on commerce. II
Japan accords reductions to Pacific
coast products, especially in canned
goods, Californian wines, nuts, dried
fruits, wheat flour and lumber, Japan
Will expect some sort of reciprocal
treatment. For instance, Japanese
merchants are specially DESTROYS OF
obtaining more favorable schedules
fl ON the United States on silk fab
rlcs, and it was understood here that
the new tariff bill provided for some
reduction
An enlarged market for american
goods will be found in Korea after the
canals opening in consequence Of the
lower freights and quicker delivery.
The importation would include Amerf-
can machinery for mines and railways,
steel for bridges, automobiles, cotton
manufactures and rice from Texas and
Louisiana. Despite the enormous rice
crop in Japan. the harvest is not suf-
ficient to feed its population, and i'm
portatiOn is necessary.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Evidently
Rose Barrick does not read the

know that among New York police
men the custom OF accepting brides
has become almost a dead letter.
She would know that some 10 or
a dozen bribe-takers and Rrafters

others are waiting To be tried. and
that the remainder OF the force is
strong. Just now, for probity and
virtue.

Mrs. Barrick. because abe didn't
keep her police dope up to date
She is the propriotress OF a hotel
in West i5th St. which has always
been known as the kind from which
no guest ever writes letters home
The other night the police
pinched the place. They arrested
Mrs. Barrick. who is n colored wo-
man about 40 years old and reputed
to be wealthy. She got bail and at
once sent word TO Detective Jones,
who had charge OF tho case. that
she would like TO meet him and
fix things up" with him and the
two policemen who had made the
arrest.
Made Date with Her
Undoubtedly she had precedent
for such procedure.
Jones made n date with her.
They met In Central park. with
stenographor hiding in clump
OF bushes nearby. Jones agreed 10
take $500 from the woman-s200
for himself and 500 each for the
cops. The money was to be paid
In one Of the big department stores
in i2nd at.

grabbed the money.

them. To force on an unwill-
ing electorate a distasteful plan
of police regulation in the name
of 'home rule would be a
ghastly farce.
We call for the amendment Of
the Bates bills in such a way as
to submit their provisions to a
popular vote. The advocates of
these bills declare the public
wants them. Their opponents
declare that the public does not
want them. Let us have done
with wordy discussion and ar
range to find out. And if any
man active in the present home
rule propaganda objects to sub
hitting these home rule propos-
ais TO the people whose city
government they seek to change,
let the fact be noted and the
real depth of his devotion to the
principle of home rule judged
accordingly
Let the people decide for the
hundreth time whether or not
they want home rule. Governor
Major was elected on a home
rule platform, the Republican
party declared for it; but the
element who can see no wrong
in themselves and always want
to force their doctrines and be-
liefs upon the public regardless
of he puhlic's own convictions,
arc fighting the home rule bill
tooth and toe nail. The idea Of
giving them all the rope they
want is a good one. Let the
express their choice
the ballot.
