Gently placed on open air preaching
by religious speakers in Uyeno Park.
From now on religious appeals may
be made with the utmost freedom.
Public opinion was soon aroused
when the prohibitory order was made
The Yorodza and other newspapers
editorially opposed the action Of the
pole. Not the Christians only were
affected. The Buddhist workers al
SO resented the suppression of free
speech and were strong in their algita-
ton to have the order withdrawn.
When the police made the move they
declared that dangerous thoughts"
were being preached by some of the
evangeiists and that they were often
unmanageable.
At the request of the Christians,
Mr.. Ebara presented their grievances
to the officials. When he called on
the chief of the Metropolitan police
he was told that the order could be
lifted only by the police captain OF
the Uyeno headquarters. Mr.. Ebara
appealed in that direction, with tho
result that the order was rescinded
without any conditions.

coNFEREEs SLOW ON
 THE WAR TAX BILL
House Members Demand Increase in
 War Profits Taxes.

Washington, Sept. 2D.-Unexpected demands of house members for a sub stantial increase in war profits taxes so complicated the contest over the wal tax bill late today that final en- Rctment of the measure early next week confidently expected by senate and house conferees, apparently was doubtful.
 Coincident with the adjournment of the conferees, a meeting of the house ways and means committee which drew the original bill, was called for tomor- row to discuss the situation and some western and southern members of the committee announced that they would demand an fncrea1e in the senate ex- cess war profits figures from $1,060,- 100000 to $1,50o, 900, ,O0O
 It was explained that the ways and means committee would try to induce the conferees to accept the larger fig ure, but should this fail high tax ad- vocates declared they would carry the contest to the floor of the house.
 In the conference today definition of capital, On which there is a wide diff ference of opinion between the two houses, was one of the big stumbling blocks and the basis for figuring values Of patents, copyrights, trademarks, good will arS1 other intangible assets also caused much discussion.
 Besides the differences on the ex- cess profits section, proposed advertis- ing and automobile taxes and second class mail rates were under consider ation.
