Wilson Regains His Vigor.

New York, June lS.-Presideut
Wilson's nine months OF illness
"have neither daunted his spirit nor
impaired in the slightest degree his
splendid intellect according to the
New York World, which today pub
lished copyrighted interview OF its
Washington correspondent with the
President. .---.,
Within the last two months, the
correspondent says, the President
has gained more than twenty pounds
and his ultimate complete recovery
is assured.
In the three hours interview at the
White House, the correspondent
says, the long discussion OF current
topics and issues showed that the
President expressed himself with
characteristic Wilsonian vigor."
In discussing the Presidents
physical condition, the correspondent
said, Ibis face is not distorted in the
slightest degree, as some OF the I'M
friendly versions of his illness have
asserted. The Wilson face is much
the same as it was, although it bears
the impression of great physical SUI
fering.
"Aftr he had worked and we had
talked for an hour, THE President
walked from his office chair on the
balcony to the movies in the east
room, slowly, cautiously, but with
confidence"
The correspondent described the
movements of the President about
the White House and said "the very
best proof of the great improvement
in the Presidents physical condition
was provided when he mounted three
improvisrd wooden steps and en-
tered thu motor car, with only such
assistance as would naturally be Civ
en-. to a person convalescing from
severe Illness
The President walked with slight
limp and used a cane, according te
the corresl ondent.

G. w. Perkins, Aged So Years, Dies

New York. June IS.-George w.
Perkins, iinancier, died this morning
in the Stamford Hall Sanitari,'nl
Stamford, Conn.
1t became known June II that Per
kins had suffered nervous break.
down, but members of his family did
not intimate at that time that his
life was in danger.
Perkins was taken to Stamford
about ten days ago, when his SON.
George w. Perkins, Jr., announced
the change was made to afford his
father complete rest and seclusion
from his friends. who sought his
counseels during the political CAM
paign preceding the Chicago conven-
ton.
The affection to which Perkins
succombed is believed to have been
the result OF influenza and pneu-
monia, contracted while serving with
the Y. NJ. c. A. in France during the
war.
\ statement by the financier S
physician given out at Perkins OF
iicc gave the time of death as 2:l5
this morning. Death resulted from
an attack OF "acute inflammation OF
the brain, the result of complete
nervous exhaustion, due to intense
and continuous overwork, the an
nouncemcnt said.

A GENERAL PRICE DECLINE
Drops in Some Commodities Not
Isolated Instances.

New York, June I8.-Recent de-
clines in the prices of few commod-
tiles are not to be regarded as isolat-
ed instances, but are part of a grad
ual and general movement that has
been under way for a considerable
time, the National Bank of Com
merce asserted in a statement issued
today.
1T was not to be expected that the
industrial community could maintain
a tension under which it had worked
during the war years, and it, is very
doubtful whether the maintenance OF
this tension would have been desir-
able, the statement said. =.
Despite numerous and widespread
complaints as to the unsatisfactory
condition of production in the Unit
cd States, the fact remains that since
the recovery from the temporary hes
itation following the armistice this
country has increased production III
certain directions.
"A factor not to be overlooked is
the increasing unemployment. In
some districts large numbers OF mcll
are out of work as result OF dis
organized transportation. This e.
feet has been especially noteworthy
in the coal regions and in the great
centers of automobile manufacture.
Refusal OF the public to accept III
creased prices, or even to maintain
volume of purchase equal to that OF
recent months at the level OF prices
then prevailing, has reacted sharply
on some sections OF the textile in
dustry and on the garment trades
Considerable unemployment III
these industries has resulted.
The agricultural districts con-
tinuc to suffer from labor shortage
but it is now believed that reason
ably adequate help for the harvests
can be secured. The agricultural out
look is on the whole quite favorable
for the grain crops"

Protest Anti-Jap Bill.

Washington, June 22-Japan has
lodged what amounts to an informal
protest with the state department
against proposed legislation i'll Cali
fornia providing for absolute prohibit
ton OF ownership or lease of land by
Japanese, it was learned today.
Serious complications may arise
should the proposed measure be
made law, it was feared in official
and diplomatic circles.
kijuro Shidchara, the Japanese
ambassador here, has brought the
proposed California law to the at
tention of the state department i'll in
formal conversations with officials
lately.
The ambassador has been anxious
to determine whether the state de-
partment is alive to the situation,
and his informal representations
have been construed as protest. A
more formal protest may come from
Japan later, it was believed.

Coal Production Cut to 80 Per Cent
by Shortage of Cars.

Washington, June IA coal
shortage next winter which may cur
tail production of iron and steel and
seriously affect other industries is
foreseen by the Federal Reserve
Board in its review tonight OF bust
ness, industrial, financial conditions
for May. The situation is acute in
some districts, according to the
board and production in many lines
is being held down.
Production of coal is being cur
tailed chiefly as the result OF car
shortage, the Reserve Board reports.
1t is estimated the car supply at
mines in the East at only 80 per cent
of normal. Labor difficulties, while
complicating the situation are con-
sidered by the board as only minor
cause of reduced coal production.
In the Southwest, according to the
review, many mines are operating at
only two-thirds capacity. Coal ship
ments to other countries are report
ed as light. No reduction OF coal
prices is in sight, the board says.
