 native of Nottingham, England, and

 teens. He was very reticent in his . manner and talked with but few of bis neighbors. Many tales were told If his early life, one being that he ran away from home and was ship wrecked on the Canary Islands. When asked of this or any other Incident of his life he always re- turned an evasive answer. He came to East Berlin about twelve years ago and conducted a small truck farm for sbout four years, when he sold the place to George Hale, who now occu- & pies it. Mr. Hale did not hear from him until two years ago, when he received a letter telling him that MT. 8 Bfadwell was employed by the Jersey V Petty. Printing company and asking for 1 information concerning the town. & Whether or not he had any rela- "a ives in this country is not known for & he would never mention anything # concerning any relations. He was &lnan of approximately sixty years of sge at the time of his death. The & tune eral will be held tomorrow after & noon from the Jersey City morgue "a andf interment will take place in that # city.

CONFLICT is
IN SIGHT FOR WILSON

Washington, Sept. Ga sharp
diplomatic conflict between the al
lied governments and the United
States is expected TO follow retalia-
tory measures Incorporated in the
revenue bill passed by the senate late
last night.
With agreement to the amend
ments by the house conference COM
mission anticipated today, it is
thought the allied governments prob
ably led by Great Britain, may begin
shaping counter oscillations. The
belief of many officials, however, is
that the conflict will be strictly COM
mercial. 1t was said ON the other
hand that the United States govern
ment is going into the issue with its
eyes open and prepared TO see it
through.

Japanese Demands Upon China May
Touch United States
U. S. ONLY NATION TO PROTEST
Japanese Demand Indemnities, ApOl-
ogy, Political Concessions
May Be Violation of the
"Open Door" to Test
Jap Monroe Doctrine

Washington, Sept. 6.-Sweeping
demands, far more drastic than any
published summaries have indicat-
ed, are revealed in the secret terms
being pressed on China by Japan as
a result of the recent armed con-
fiict between soldiers of the two
nations at Cheng Chiatun in inner
Mongolia. Private dispatches re-
ceived here reveal that Japan seeks
indemnities, an apology, and politi-
cal concessions throughout the
whole section of inner Mongolia and
south Manchuria.
Secretary of State Lansing re-
fused to comment on the dispatches
or to outline what might be the at
titude of the American government.
1t is known, however, that steps will
be taken Immediately by the state
department to secure detailed re-
ports and learn the full significance
of Japan's act, American interests
seem at first glance to be more deep
Iy involved that in any event in the
Far East since Japan's famous ulti-
matum to China of May, 1915.
1t is the political articles that
cause deepest anxiety to Washing
ton officials. They are omitted en-
tirely in the published demands. The
recognition of special rights" is
open to the most extreme interpre-
tation, and 1t is feared, might cut
directly across the American policy
of the integrity of China. Also 1t
has in 1t possibilities of violation OF
the "open door" policy and the MAX
ing of the whole vast region involv-
ed a mere dependency OF Japan.
No foreign country, save possibly
the United States, is expected to
offer objection to Japan's course
because of conditions abroad, and
some diplomats here believe Japan
has seized this time to put in force
her Monroe doctrine" for China.

DUTCH FISHING FLEET

Great Britain, which has been re-

fish from Holland. has now brought
the matter to head by seizure of
some 100 vessels of the Dutch fish
ing fleet and they are now lying
under arrest in the Scotch ports Of
Peterhead. Aberdeen. Lerwick and
