JAPAN, AROUSED,
DENIES NATIONALS
SLIP INTO THE U. S.
''Fantastic" Is Reply to John
son Charges of Widespread
Smuggling.
By the Associated Press.


TOXIC. August 5.-The statement
of Representative AlbertaJohnson at
Tacoma. Wash, August that thou
sands of Japanese are sr1Aggled into
the United States from J4pan yearly is
giving evidences of a tendency to in
crease the feeling with regard to the
United States created by the, arrival
of the recent American note and sub
sequent newspaper attacks against
America
Foreign Onice Statement.
With reference to the statement of
Representative Johnson, who is chair
man of the House subcommittee of
Immigration and naturalization, and
has been recently conducting an in
auiry into the japanese situation on
the Pacific coast. the foreign office to-
day made the following statement:
1--WE can only express surprise at the
extraordinary statement made, by Rep
resentative johnson at Tacoma. Details
of the scheme, as outlined by Mr.. John
son, appear fantastic and most improb-
able. While solitary cases of smuggling
come to our notice from time to time,
it is unimaginable that such an involved
and intricate program as described by
Mr.. Johnson should be Systematically
practiced by any group of individuals
or organization.
Will Gladly Cooperate.
1.-THE japanese government would
gladly cooperate with the American
government in exposing any such i1le-
gitimate and underhanded system. It-is
hoped that Mr.. Johnson will give the
names of the bank, associations or in
dividuals concerned. All such infor-
nation must be in The hands of Mr.
Johnson, who otherwise would not have
made the statement"

ASKS HIGH COURT
TO RECONS|DER|TS
PROHIBITION RULE
Counsel for Christen Feigen-
span Reopens 18th Amend
ment and VoIStead Case.

William d. Guthrie and Elihu Root.
counsel for Christian Feigenspan. a
brewer of Newark. y. J.. today filed
with the United States Supreme Court
a petition for a reconsideration of
the courts decision on June sus-
tanning the validity of the eighteenth
amendment and parts of the Volstead
enforcement act
The petition contended that the
eighteenth amendment was designed
to deal exclusively with Intoxicating
liquors. Mr.. Feigenspan, in his orig
mai suit, sought to prove that beer
of 2.75 per cent alcoholic content was
not intoxicating
The latest petition pointed out the
Importance and magnitude Of the con-
s'itutional questions involved and de-
clared that so far as the petitioner
has been able to ascertain there is no
record of any important modern case
involving such vital questions being
disposed of by court of final resort
without explaining its conclusions"
The brief continued:
Measure of Conclusions.
Not only is it quite unprecedented
in the history of this court for it thus
to dispose without opinion of great
constitutional questions, but, as en-
phasized bw Mr.. Justice McKenna in
his dissenting opinion, it is difficult
to measure the force of the conclu-
sions stated by the court or the de-
ductions properly to be drawn upon
them.
Furthermore. the conclusions do
not completely answer questions .actu-
ally involved in the litigation and
submitted for decision.
'As stated by the learned chief jus
tice in his concurring opinion. the
court was deciding a case of great
magnitude and passing upon IAN
amendment to the CONSTITUTION of the
United States dealing with the pow
ers and duties-uf the national and
state governments, and intimately
concerning the welfare of the people
Effect of Amendment.
The petition declared that the mean
was necessarily the subject of discus
sion and concern in the forum of pub
lie opinion, and the failure of the court
TO assign any reasons for its decision
has tended naturally to invite criticism
and create much public dissatisfaction.
1T seems, therefore,, the petition
continued, that it is not Irrelevant or
improper to urge, in support OF plea
for rehearing, that public opinion
has doubted and challenged the fitness
of summarily deciding and disposing
of great constitutional controversy.

FIRST TO GIVE PAY
FOR RETIREMENT
Deductions Made Today to
Contribute to Federal
Pension Plan.

Honor of being the first employees
of the United States to contribute to
the civil service retirement fund to-
day fell tot'workers at the govern
ment printing office. who received
their first pay following August 1.
Owing to the fact that the en-
ployes at the big government print
shop are mainly paid by the week
these workers are the first in the
country to contribute 21s per cent of
their salary to the retirement fund.
Disbursing officers of the govern
ment printing Office were unable to
tell the exact amount which was
taken out of the pay of the en-
the tremendous complication due to
the hour basis on which the en-
ployes work.
Deduction Effective August 1.
Only two days of the pay handed
out today was subject to the 24 per
cent deduction for the ,retirem ent
fund. The controller of the. Treas
ury recently ruled that the deduc-
tions should become effective Au-
gust /. ~
the deductions. and the pay roll dis
tributed today closed August g. so
that only two days pay was subject
to the deduction.
The. amount taken out, according
to the system in effect at the govern
mente printing office, equals the diff
ference between the amount paid
and the amount; earned.
L The next pay roll distributed at the
government printing Office will show
Ia deduction of 21s per cent of the to-
tai for the entire number of working
days and hours covered by the week:
The bureau of engraving and print
ling does not use the same pay system
|as the government printing office, and
first deductions for the retirement
fund for the bureau will probably
come out August Is.

LONDON, August 6.-From Sim
Fein sources it is reported that the
governments refusal to allow Arch
bishop Mannix to land in Ireland will
result in a more remarkable demon
stration than has yet occurred in Ire
land. 1t is planned to greet the
steamship Baltic when she passes the
Irish coast on her way to Liverpool
with huge bonfires which will be
kept burning during the entire time
the ship is off Ireland. Thus the
archbishop will be accorded the
unique welcome of smoke by day and
flame by night.
In some quarters here it is felt
that the government by barring the
Australian archbishop from Ireland
has made a mistake in that the ad
vertisement thus given will only lend
more weightto his words and actions
in the future.

No Respecter of Persons

If you will get it fixed in your
mind that in many forms Rheu-
matism is blood disease and
cannot be cured by local treat
ment, you will then by proper
treatment begin to get the per-
manent relief you have been
seeking for SO many years.
In this article we want to ex-
plain to you the cause of this
most painful of all diseases, also
offer suggestions, founded on
reason and long years of expert
ence, which will enable you to
secure the right treatment if
you are afflicted with any of the
various forms of Rheumatism.
Rheumatism is often spe-
cific blood fermentation, sour
ing of the circulation from an
excess of uric acid accommodating
in the blood stream. This uratic
impurity comes usually as a re-
suit of constipation, weak kid
news, indigestion and stomach
disturbances. These systemic
Irregularities may not be of
marked severity or of long du-
ration. but each has a direct eff
feet on the elininative members
of the body, which prevents the
proper removal of the waste
products. This refuse remains
in the stomach and bowels, and
souring forms uric acid, which
the blood quickly absorbs.
Rheumatism is usually mani
tested in the joints and muscles.
It is here its sharpest twinges
of pain are felt, and stiffening
of ligaments and tendons first
commence. The pain of Rheu-
matism is caused by the contact
of the sensory nerves with the
gritty. acrid formation which
uric acid causes to accumulate
in the corpuscles of the blood
about the joints. The stiffen-
mo of muscles and joints is
usually gradual. Constantly the
blood deposits the uric acid into
