 FAILS TO COME
Customs House Still Stands Despite Warning That It
 Would Be Blown Up.
CURIOUS CROWD GATHERS
Heaviest Guatd in History Surrounds Building While
 Explosion Awaited.

NEW YORK, Sept. 21,-The GUS .tonfs house was -stffi@ standing at 2. clock this afternoon, the time se in yesterdays post card warning foI blowing up with bombs. A curious crowd had gathered about the build ing and remained most of the day awaiting the expected blast.
 Although the threat was regarded by Department of Justice agents as a hoax, the Federal authorities took no chances and maintained the heaviest guard in history around the building.
 Meanwhile investigation of last Thursdays explosion in Wall Street in which thirty-four persons were killed and more than two hundred others injured, was continued with unabated zest although police off cials and Federal investigators ad- mitted that they were far from a solution of the affair and arrest of the guilty ones.
 The Grand Jury today examined Edwin Fischer, who was brought here from Hamilton, Ontario in con nection with post card warnings to two Wall Street brokers several days before the explosion to stay out of the financial district until after September 16,
 It was learned today that Fischer, who formerly was attached to the French High Commission and is a tennis player of some note, during the war annoyed President Wilson with a series of letters demanding that he end the war.

Hurdfhs, ii e.a1ts ed, would exercise his powers as President Under tore form of die tatorship by ? Senatorial oligarcEy in control Of rar'y machinery
 If this qu e4.i0n can be fair!y con 9idered by lhe yaiers. he sad, "it seems to me majority will decide in favor of an individual President, rather than a President acting as a figurehead for combination of Sen ators."
 The Democratic program, the Sen ator said, consists af direct ap- peal to the people of the country without regard to party. on the issues ol the day.
 Sen Harding says he believes in party government, and if he is el- ected the Republican party will govern he continued "It sounds as though the rank and file of the Republican Party were to reach im- portant decisions and to shape pol itical policies. The real meaning of it. however that the party caucus of United States Senators in Wash ington would in those circumstances, run the Government just as they ran the late Republican convention. Obviously this is party campaign of misrepresentation and faSehood. It harmonizes with dodging the issue and deceiving the voters

RIGA, Sept. 21.-(By the Asso- eiated Press) Russian Bolshevik peace delegates who are all here to meet the representatives of Poland consider the meeting here merely a continuance of the Minsk confer ence.
 Our terms,'' said Adolph Joffe, head of the Soviet delegation, today, were never answered by the Poles at Minsk nor were any counter pro posals submitted. The Poles merely criticised our terms, but offered nothing in the nature of proposals. Before the conference can proceed the Poles must make known the terms upon which they would base a treaty"
 M. Joffe met the correspondent of the Associated Press and discuss ed with him the coming conference and the prospects of peace.
 ''Our purpose, he declared, is to make peace only on terms which will give us assurance that Poland will not attack us again, nor keep up a constant state of war on our borders"

 JAP AGREEMENT
Secretary of State Trying to Reach Peaceful Solution
 Of the Alien Problem.

TOXIC, Sept. 21.-(By The Asso- ciated Press Efforts to reach peaceful and satisfactory" settle- ment of the Japanese problem in California are being made by Ro- land s. Morris. United States Am bassador to Japan and Bainbridge Colby, American Secretary of State, according to Viscount Uchida, For eign Minister. His statement was made in answer to questions from leaders of the opposition party who visited the foreign office He added that if the pending anti-Japanese bill should be passed by the Cali fornia Legislature it would involve an encroachment on acquired rights of Japanese in that State, and that, therefore, the American and Japan csc governments probably will take the proper steps to come to a mu- tual understanding.
 Wilson's Stand Cited.
 The Foreign Minister declared that both MT. Morris and Mr Colby considered the question very import ant both to Japan and the United States and that President Wilson also was desirous of reaching a peaceful solution.
 Kijuro Shidehara, Japanese Am bassador in Washington, firmly be- lieyes a settlement is in prospect Viscount Uchida asserted. He added that emphasis should be laid on the fact that the questions presented difficulties.

 Japanese imports continue far in excess of exports and this adverse balance of trade can only be reliev- ed by an increase in exports or a decrease in imports, MT. Abbott's message said
