SCHEME, SAYS
JAP DIPLOMAT
Refuses to Lead Attack
Against Government Over
American Policy - Warns
Against "VoteGetting''
TENSION CAUSE ALARM
(By Associated Press)

TOXIC, Oct. 4.-Anti-American out
bursts by the Japanese press are
strongly deprecated by Baron Shin
pei Gotto, former minister Of foreign
affairs, who may be Japan's next pre-
mier. He refuses to lead an attack
against the Japanese government over
it's American policy and, in a state
ment to the correspondent of Reut-
ers, Ltd, expressed hope that set
tlement of the anti-Japana move
ment in California may be reached.
"The anti-Japanese situa ton" he
said, sis merely a phase of the presi-
Dental election and is part of the gen
eral question which the wisest states
men on both sides of the Pacific must
face with view to securing funda-
mental settlement. The question of
ownership of land in California is not
the real issue, but only a part of the
real issue, which is a question of dis
elimination.
"Must Remain Cool"
THE japanese people must remain
cool and refuse to permit the vote
catching politicians in either country
to stampede them, while responsible
statesmen must later seek a proper
solution Of the problem. 1t must be
settled honorably on both sides, and
the Japanese must appeal to the
sense Of honor and justice of Amer
ica."
The tension between the United
States and Japan is causing serious
concern to responsible Japanese
statesmen and to all the friends of
both countries, who hope for cessa-
tion Of alarmist reports which are in
fluencing both sides of the present
controversy
Sends Delegates Here
The Japan-American society has de-
clded to send two members to America
to endeavOr to secure a better under
standing of the Japanese case in Cali
fornia and other questions, and to
allay the feeling in America that ia
pan is looking for trouble.
These delegates have been selected,
but it still Is uncertain whether the
mission would be accepted. Mean
while, it has been decided to cable a
request to the Japan society of New
York City 70 double its efforts to dis
pei the clouds on both sides Of the
Pacific.
TOXIC, Oct. 4.-Japanese troops
have been sent to Hun-Chun, a town
in Manchuria, near the Korean from
tier, which was raided by bandits on

Russian Bolsheviki, Koreans and Chi
nese who are bitter against Japan
Ten Japanese were killed and 81
wounded during the attack, while 4S

jured. Among the slain were Super
intendent Yasuda, of the Japanese po-
lice station; Inspector Kato and his

LIGHT REGISTRATION
REPORTED AT NOON
BY PARTY WORKERS

A light forenoon registration was re-
ported at noon Monday, the final day
for registration, from number of the
registration places in Richmond.
Every precinct registration poll in
the county will remain open until
o'clock Monday evening and it is eX-
pected that large number of voters
who have not yet qualified themselves
for the November election will regis
ter in the afternoon, after working
hours, or in the evening.
On the first registration day, Sept.
4, little over $4,000 men and women
representing less than fifty per cent
of the normal voting strength of the
county, were registered. Since that
time it is estimated than between
$500 and 1000 people have been regis
tered by affidavit, these affidavits
being filed Monday at the various
precinct registration places, as requir-
ed by law.
Assists Registration.
1t is stated that there were 2,126
people registered by affidavit at the
Lee B. Nusbaum store, this city, from
Sept. l until last Saturday evening. 1t
/ is estimated that at least IS per cent
Of those registered at the Nusbaum
store were women. Both the Repub-
lican and Democratic county organiza-
tions have expressed to Mr. Nusbaum
their appreciation of his assistance in
the registration of voters.
At the Bethel A. NJ. E. church, Rich
mond. registration work was done
Sunday following the services.
Men and women who do not exer-
else their rights of suffrage are not
good citizens. and the promotion of
good citizenship is practical religion.
For that reason we believed we were
justified in assisting in the registra-
tion of the unregistered members of
our congregation" one Of the active
members of Bethel church, the largest
colored church in the city, said
Monday.
Party Workers Busy.
All Of last week Republican and
! Democratic workers throughout the
county were busily engaged in secur.
/ ing registrations. In many instances
| house-to-house canvasses were made
to round up the unregistered vote.
Major Paul Comstock, Republican
county chairman, and Joel Moore,
Democratic county chairman, believe
the pressure brought to bear upon the
unregistered voters the past few days
was bearing fruit Monday and they
were confident that by the time the
registration places closed Monday
evening a large percentage of the
voters of the county would be qualified
to participate in the forthcoming elec.
ton.
The report that those who failed to
register this year would not be permit
ted to participate in the city election
in the fall of 1921, influenced a number
of people to register who had evidenc-
ed no particular interest in the
national and state elections this year
