JAPANESE SLAIN, n. Y.
POLICE ARE BAFFLED

NEW YORK, Oct. 6-The me-
deal examiner and police hope
to clear up today a tragedy
that contains several features of the
Oriental mystery of stage and fiction.
Tan Robin. a japanese about twen-
ty-three years old, went to the En-
pire Hotel, Broadway and 63rd street
Tuesday morning without luggage,
registered as from New York, and
paid in advance.
He was accompanied by a man
identified as Nitaro Yasuhara, a Jap
anese cook, but believed to have been
a political agent. He had been con-
nected with the British army, and
when he came to this city several
months ago had plenty of money ana
letters of recommendation from Brit
ish Government officials and others.
Robin was assigned a room n
he and Yasuhara seemed to be on the
best of terms. They were seen to-
gether at noon Tuesday and again at
5 o'clock in the afternoon. talking
and laughing. Robin was asst seen by
a maid about 0 o'clock yesterday
morning, when he entered a bath
room in a corridor near his room
and turned on the water.
Yesterday afternoon Yasuhara's
body, fully clothed, "a found under
a bed in the room. There was a table
cover knotted about his neck, but 1t
was loose. Whether he was strang-
led by a jiu jitsu trick. the table
cover being used to give leverage to
the murderous thumbs, or the knots
slipped after he had bee strangled
by the cover, is yet to be determined.
There was no sign of a struggle, and
his clothing, even his collar and tie,
was neatly arranged.

A. s. & R. SURPLUS TURNS
TO DEFICIT, REPORT SAYS

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Company
for the six months ended June 30,
1921, reports a deficit of $1,101,8 31.
after taxes and fixed charges, con-
trasted with a surplus of ~S4,030,S4
in the corresponding half of the pre-
ceding year. After payment of divi-
dends the deficit was increased to
s3,203, $50 against a surplus of $685.
AGA a year ago.
"All the properties of the COM
pany's are in excellent condition."
said a statement by Simon Guggen-
helm, president, and their man.
agement is entitled to much credit
for the heroic in which they
have reduced and still + reducing
expenses. The depression of our
business is entirely due to the lack
of demand for metals, many of
which are selling below the cost of
production, causing the complete
shutdown of many mines and the
drastic curtailment of production in
those still operating. Our smelling
and refining operations are proper
tionately reduced.
'This condition is, naturally, only
temporary; in fact, a slight improve
ment is already perceptible, and We
have every cas- to believe that in
due course the smelling company
will be able to give as good account
of itself in the future as it has in
the past"

WANT HEARING
ON WATERFRONT
m of Commerce Com
mittee to Confer With the
Board of Aldermen

A committee consisting of j.
Logan Cleyenger, chairman, Peter
C. Olsen, Isaac Alpern. John Wester
and Jean Dubois, was appointed to-
day by President Isaac Alpern of the
Chamber of Commerce to represent
the chamber and arrange for a hear
ing with the Board of Aldermen to
see just how much may be expected
of the city in the development of the
waterfront here. The appointing of
the committee is the result of a sug-
gestion made at the meeting of the
Advisory Council of the Port of New
York Authority in this city recently
and discussed at length the proposed
development of the waterfront here
and belt line railroad as proposed
by the Port of New York Authority.
The advisory council. which adj
vised the appointing of this commit
tee by. the Chamber of Commerce,
consists of ten men, representing
Monmouth and Middlesex counties,
who will meet with the Port of New
York Authority and lay before the
authority the needs of this section of
the state in the proposed develop
ment of the waterways.
When the council met here it was
brought out that If this city could
offer the Port of New York Au-
thority some inducement for the
recognition, it was likely that the
local waters would receive greater
consideration when the final report
of the authority to the legislatures
Of New York and New Jersey is
made. To that end the council sug-
gested that the committee of the
Chambec of Commerce be appointed
to go before the council and see If
immediate action could be taken by
them towards the appointing of a
committee on docks and piers which
in turn can show to the Port of
New York Authority just what this
city is willing to do in developing
the water front here.
As the next meeting of the Board
of Aldermen will be held on Mon
day night, October II, it has been
suggested that the committee meet
some time during the coming week
so that it may be ready to present
its request before the aldermen at
the next meeting.
