JAPANESE COPS
 KEEP WATCH ON
 ALL FOREIGNERS

TOKIO,-(By aiD-Referring tc ;he sensitiveness of the Japanese au- thorities about the movement of "su- spicious foreigners" who arrive in this country, the Jiji says that no doubt the authorities are wisely careful to
 event the influx of such dangerous ideas as bolshevism and socialism. but the result is that foreigners are not infrequently subjected to a sys- tenn of vacations spying or shadow ing.
 The Jiji relates that recently an American whose name is well known in business and economic circles in .',merica, while on his way from Nag asaki to Tokio, is said to have been subjected to examination at the hands of half dozen different detectives. The American, who is friend of Baron Shibusawa, in the course of an interview with him, drew his atten- tion to what had occurred during his journey and said that such an ex- perience, if suffered by other foreign CTS, is likely to send them away with a very unfavorable impression of Japan.
 The Jiji also refers to the case of Dr. Frederick Starr, professor at the Chicago university. who is we'll known among the Japanese by the name of "Ofuda Hakase" or Charm Doctor, owing to the great interest evinced by him in the collection of charms from the Japanese temples. The American professor recently ar lived in Japan. As soon as Dr. Starr landed at Yokohoma the local police authorities instructed a police officer to follow him to Tokio. Later, when pr. Starr left for a trip to Mount
 lii, the police authorities supplied, unasked, a police escort to the Ameri- can visitor. and the officer accom- panied him all the way to the top of the mountain. Dr. Starr is at pres ent staying at Kozu and his resi- dence, says the newspaper, is un- necessarily closely watched by the lynx-eyed police.
 The Jiji adds: "It is the height of absurdity that the Japanese authori- ties should evince suspicion about the movements of such men and detail detectives to keep watch over them"

the company has ordered power

Crabbe Prohibition Measure
Probably Defeated-Drys
Confident on Others.

by the Associated fress.
COLUMBUS. Ohio. November 6.-Re-
turns from Tuesdays election. COM
piled at the Office of the secretary
of state today from f1fty-flve of the
lightweight counties, indicate that
the results on the ratification Of the
federal prohibition amendment and
the Crabbe prohibition enforcement
will be close. with chances favoring
the drys on the ratification PROPOSE
ton and the vets on the Crabbe bill.
according to Chief Statistician John
son.
The same returns are said to indi
cate defeat of the 2A -per-cent-beer
proposal and also that to repeal the
state prohibition amendment.
Figures as Received.
These fifty-five counties. thirty
three of which are complete and
TWENTY-FIVE incomplete. give the vets
the federal amendment and 52.41O on
the Crabbe bill. They also give the
vets lead Of 22,999 on the "a pro-
posal and 1923 on the repeal propo-
sition.
The thirty-three counties still to
for prohibition last year, and If this
majority was maintained Tuesday it
would indicate defeat Of both the 2A
and the repeal proposals by safe ma
jorities. it was said. On this show
ing. also, the ratification proposal
gin, it was said.
Headquarters Statements.
James A. White. manager of the
Ohio dry federation, this morning
refused to concede that the drys had
lost the Crabbe act or any of the
prohibition proposals voted on Tues
day, although at his headquarters it
had been admitted earlier that the
White admitted that the vote was
close on the Crabbe act. but that
later returns were showing good dry
gains.
L. P. Gibson. manager of the Ohio
Home Rule Association, at his head
Crabbe act had been Overwhelmingly
defeated, that ratification had been
decisively defeated. that the 2.75 per
cent beer proposal was in doubt, but
conceded that the drys had defeated
the repeal of statewide prohibition.
although mot by $4,000 majority, as
was given out in Columbus yester-
day"
An encouraging indication for the
drys is the fact that in the % counties
incomplete, which are included In the
tabulation, there are 255 precincts
still missing. All these counties on
the partial returns made gave dry
majorities of an average of approx
mately 30 to precinct. If this ratio
is maintained in the precincts yet to
report from those counties. the wet
lead would be reduced by about $500
which would give the vets and drys
about an even break on the ratifica-
ton proposal.
At the secretary Of states once It
Is believed that the wet lead on the
Crabbe bill cannot be overcome. though
it is admitted that the Result cannot
be ascertained with certainty until
complete returns are in.
OF the SO counties from which no re.
turns have been received Lucas alone
is expected to give substantial wet
majority on all proposals. Summit
county, which gave dry majority OF
5000 last year, has not reported.
On the ratification OF the federal
amendment proposal it Is said that
the official count may be necessary to
decide the result.
