crnment circles that administration
Of the act had disclosed flaws which
were working injustice to certain
annuitants.
With the first six months of the
administration of the act praCti-
caIIy completed, officials say they
believe the next six months will
show that the provisions of the act
are sound and practicable. Under
the terms of the act, at the end of
the first year Of it's administration
the Commissioner of Pensions, with
the approval of the Secretary Of
the Interior, will appoint a board
of actuaries, whose duties shall be
to make a valuation of the Civil

Those in authority to speak for
the Pension Office say this board
has not yet been appointed and that
it is believed this board, when it
does meet, will find that the admin

smoothly.
Less than 1000 annuity cases are
now pending, it was stated, of the

Negotiations Go On.
The committee learned from Mr.
Davis that discussions between this
government and Japan have been in
progress for a period Of years as to
the rights OF Japs in the Far Ssst.
That these discussions began with
an attempt on the part Of this gov
ernment to have Japan define the
meaning Of the phrase special in
terest" in the Lansing Ishii agree
ment, which Japan has implied Gre
ated for the Tokyo government a
Monroe Doctrine in the Far East
Nr. Davis explained further that
following the withdrawal Of the
American troops from Siberia and
the failureOf the Japanese to follow
the Americans out, as had been
agreed at the time of entry a note
was dispatched setting forth that
this government was opposed to
seizure by Japan Of any portion of
the old Russian Empire and that the
United States would strenuously op-
pose any action on the part OF Japan
designed to create special privileges
for that nation and to close the
open door policy"
In none of these negotiations, II
is understood Mr.. Davis told the
committee, has the United States
ever been able TO receive any as
surances from Japan that the sc-
tions complained of would cease.
Japan has pointed out in reply that
occupation of Siberia and Saehslin,
the seizure Of the Chinese Eastern
Railway and other acts of which

were vital fgr the protection Of Jap

TO ASSAULT TO ROB

Chase. d. c., and William Ernst,

were arrested October IL in con-
nection with the attempted hold
up of John Ackerman, aged keeper
of a gasoline station at lis Florida
avenue northeast, pleaded guilty to
a joint charge of assault TO rob,
yesterday before Justice Gould. in
Criminal Court. The case was re-

investigation.
1t was alleged by the police at
the time that Sewers and another
boy took Ernst to the hospital to
be treated for a gunshot wound and
explained the boys injuries by stat
ing that they had been held up in
the grounds of the Smithsonian In

that Ernst received his wound, it
was alleged. at the hands of Ack-
erman, who refused to hand over
his money. I
