IRISH QUESTION AGAIN BEFORE
 COMMITTEE
Fox Explains He Was Not Referring to K. P.
 Walsh.

Washington, Dsa. fS-The Irish question: today again was before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, George L. Fox of New Haven ex- pected to resume his attack before the committee on the Mason bill, pro- viding for recognition of the Irish re- public, and Bourke Cochran, Of New York, was to make the concIu ding address in support of the measure.
 Resuming his speech in opposition 10 the Mason bill, MT. Fox declared the reason Irish republican leaders had been imprisoned was that they had given aid and comfort to the enemy in the war"
 And if men in this country had done the same thing he added, they would have got it in the neck as quickly as those Ir!shrnen did"
 Mir Fox attacked the statement that upwards of 2O,G00,000 Americans Of Irish blood were asking recognition of the republic, declaring the 1910 census showed only 6OO0G0 males in the Unit ed States who were born in Ireland.
 He said that at least some Roman Catholics had an utter contempt for the Sim F'eineNS,'' backing the TepuD- Hcan government, If a vote were taken in Ireland with illiterates barred from the polls, he asserted, the result would be oveTwh elmIngly against the Sim Fein movement.
 The statement in last nights dis patch that Fox had turned to Frank P Walsh when he said this man was thinking to help Germany" was an error
 Fox explained today that during his testimony of yesterday he was not referring to Frank P. Walsh when he turned toward a group at the hear ing and said that during the war this man was thinking to help Ger many"
 Fox said today he was referring to another man in the room but did not mention his name in his testi- mony. In making the statement Fox was rebuked by the committee chair. man

The court refused to grant either di- vorce then. Judge E. r. Nobbs of this city has been named as a com nittee to hear testimony in the pres ent action.

ACTIVITIES OF
 JAPANESE ARE
 BEING NOTICED 3

Valparaiso, Chile. Dec. I3-Efforts made by Japanese to establish them selves in Chile, particularly in the coal and iron mining fields, are ex- citing considerable interest. There is also talk of the opening up of fishing industries in certain islands to the South. in localtes where Japanese would have particularly good oppor- tunities.
 Those activities awaken in 1t be- cause it is recognized here that Japan is seeking opportunities in South America for her excess population Already they have made progress in Peru. In Chile also they are be- ginning this work, and 1t has been said here that they seek particularly situations that are strong both from a strategetic and industrial stand point. as for example, Conception Bay, where there are many coal mines.
 Certain newspapers in south ern Chile have been calling attention to these activities. At the head of Con ception Bay, there are coal mines on which, according to newspaper re- ports, japanese have acquired an option. This option is said to include the mines of Pi1pilco for which an offer of 1SQs 900 pounds sterling has been made. The Japanese syndicate, 1t is reported. plans to develop the coal industry at Conception and intro- duce modern machinery.
 There is no law in Chile which pre- vents the purchase of property by foreigners. It is pointed out here that the negotiations above referred to may result in delivering to Japan an independent base for the develop ment of her influence in the Pacific.

 Twelve of the new cars will be put on the North Main street line and will operate from Wentworth street in the North End to lower State street.
 The cars will proceed down Main street to Golden Hill street, then to Water street to lower State street, back up Water street to Golden Hill, west to Main street and then over Main street to Wentworth street
 The Connecticut Co. will still main tain it's present Bethany Chapel line to South Main and Seaside Park, as 1t is at present. Manager Joseph s. Goodwin stated this morning that this will give about a two minute headway on the North Main street fine after tomorrow when both lines are in operation.
 The riders on the new safety car from Wentworth street into the cen ter of the city will use the pay as you enter system thus enabling the company to speed up traffic in the city and doing away with the zone system on the ride in. On the ride out to the North End the pay as you leave system will be used.
