WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Before the
Senate immigration Committee to-day
hearings were begun on the proposal to
ilft the immigration laws in favor of
Hawaii in order to meet the labor
shortage there The matter already
has been taken up with the House In
migration Committee.
commission Of the territory named
Dy the governor appeared before the
Senate Committee. Walter +. Dillinp-
nam, chairman of the commission, told
the committee the labor shortage is
so serious that the agricultural inter
este OF Hawaii are facing ruin.
Mr. Dillingham; said the threatened
loss Ct control Of the industr-- Of the
ISLANDS by Americans was the most
serious phase Of the situation. He
pictured the japanese as gradually
t1fing over the control of the Industry
'here. He said that the japanese, who
compose 43 per cent of the population
Of the islands, and are increasing in
numbers each year, furnish three
Scurths Of the field labor and now seem
TO have decided to quit work long
enough to force transfer Of the farm
ing interests TO the JAPANESE
"fhe prosperity Of the territory de-
Ponds on the prosperity of the agri-
cultural interests" Mr.. Dillingham;
sald- IF the sugar and other large
industries fail or are taken over by
the Japanese the territory itself will
rapidly pass into Japanese control and
cease TO remain an American com
munity."
He told the Senate committee that
the people of the territory believed
only restricted Chinese immigration
would solvc the problem, since white
men cannot compete with the Japanese
IN the tropical fields Of the country.

Changes Held to Promise No
Reduction 10 Producers

WASHINGTON, Aug 13.-The pur-
port Of the statement issued last night
at the White House forecastng better
agricultural prices because of effective
and proposed reductions in export
grain freight rates. was challenged to-
day by Clyde NJ. Reed. manager of the
Western Grain Committee. representa-
tive of twenty growing states.
The committee will appear before the
Interstate Commerce Commission. be-
ginning Monday. to urge reduction in
grain rates in the West, and Mr.. Reed,
who is chairman of the Kansas Public
Utilities Commission, said in relation
to the picture drawn in the White
House statements:
"The proposed reduction referred to
is simply matter of adjustment in
order to preserve the grain traffic to
certain roads. 1t will not result in
actual reduction of freight rates to
the producer of export grain"

Bennett Receives
Another Refusal
In Ticket Naming
Latest Rejection Comes
From Magistrate Brough
and More Are Expected;
La Cuard;a-Haskell Union

Another Republican who had been
named by former Senator William M.
Bennett as one of his running mates on
his anti Curran ticket declined the
honor yesterday. This makes the fourth
refusal within twenty-four hours. More
are coming, It is said.
The latest declination was made from
Edgerton, Mass, where Magistrate
Alexander Brough is spending his vaca-
ton. Brough mad been designated by
Bennett for the City Court. AS in all
other instances, the refusal was accom-
panied by statement that he was for
Curran for Mayor. Said Magistrate
Brough:
"My designation on William NJ. Ben
Inetts petition was made without my
knowledge and consent | positively
decline to have anything to do With
the movement. | am for Henry Curran
Tor Mayor, and am going to do every
thing can to secure his election at the
polls in November"
Mr.. Bennett would not comment on
the action of Magistrate Brough or the
other decline tons, saying:
THAT is for the committee to fill
vacancies to take care of. They will
meet on August 26'
When Mr.. Bennett was asked why he
had named men without consulting
them, he replied that he had nothing to
say. When he was asked how he came
to make his selections, he made the
same reply.
1t was said by friends of other men
named by Bennett on his ticket that
b.
Bennett and that their refusal coyld
be looked for when they learned the
news.
There is possibility of Judge Reu-
ben l.. Haskell and Aldermanic President
f. II. La Guardia uniting against Cur
ran and his running mates, with the
possible exception of Senator Charles
c. Lockwood La Guardia is known to
favor Lockwood for Comptroller, and
is expected to come out formally for
him shortly. Politicians who are
watching the plays of La Guardia and
Haskell expect to see ticket headed
by Haskell for Mayor, La Guardia for
President of the Board of Aldermen
and Lockwood Endorsed by both for
Comptroller.
Credence was lent to this belief by
those who talked with Judge Haskell
and President La Guardia yesterday.
The latter had nothing to say for pub
lication, but Judge Haskell said
81 have not had any conferences with
Major La Guardia since we met in Man.
haitian three days ago. | believe that
the proper thing for both of us now
to do is TO go ahead with naming our
respective tickets and waiting until
August &c, the last day for filing dccli
nations, to see if we cannot get to-
gethcr and unite for the fight in the
primaries"
Judge Haskell announced another ad
dtion to his ticket yesterday, that Of
Jehal Roeder, for Borough President
of Manhattan. He said that Mr.. Roe
der, who is lawyer was prominent
in Jewish charities.
1t is said that La Guarda will not
name a complete ticket, but will make a
statement announcing his choice for
the candidates for nominations other
than that for Mayor, which he is after
himself.

Farley ON Arms
White House Conference
Discusses Cost to U. S.
of Entertaining Foreign
Delegates at Washington
Plan Fitting Programs
Travelling and Maintenance
Expenses of Visitors Won't
Be Borne by America

From, The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-The first
intimai On of how much it will cost
the United States to act as host for the
foreign delegates to the disarmament
conference was learned to-day after
Z conference at the White House be-
tween the President, Director Dawes,
Of the Budget Bureau, and Under Sec
retary of State Fletcher. Both Secre-
tary Fletcher and General Dawes said
that no exact estimates have been ar
rived at yet but that it is unlikely
that an appropriation Of mere than
100000 would be asked of Congress-
1t is extremely improbable that this
figure will be the final estimate agreed
upon. When diplomats here consider
what it cost the United States to take
part in the eight months conference at
Paris, millions of dollars, 1T is easy to
estimate that no such figure will need
to be spent by the United States IN
conducting a conference at home. The
cost of maintaining diplomatic army
some respects, more costly than keep
ing military machine, and that cost
viii be eliminated here. But there are
expenses which will have to be Shout
dered by America as the host at the
coming conference which will cost
heavily. Printing slone, the programs,
invitations. agends, memoranda and
a score of other printed necessities,
will run into the thousands of dollars.
Elaborate Entertainment Costly
The State Department has made it
clear that this country is not to bear
of the foreign delegations which as
sembe here. Entertainment on an
elaborate scale BETTING the dignity of
the United States on such an occasion
will mount up, and the scores Of con-
veyances and motors to be placed at
the disposal of the foreign commits
sioners viii constitute another large
item. 1t may be that the State De-
partment will not ask Congress for
half a million dollars for an initial
appropriation, but may confne itself
that unforeseen expensey necessitate q
further appropriation, that will be
made separately.
Since the holding of the conference
has beer assured many persons con-
versant with the cost of such 'conclaves
have busted themselves with attempts
to figure approximately what it will
cost the United States to conduct the
meeting. These estimates vary from
100000 to 100000.
Official announcement concerning the
exact amount to be asked by the State
Department is expected this week. I'm
der Secretary of State Fletcher has
been intrusted with the task of COM
piling the estimates and taking care Of
every contingency calling for expendi-
ture which may arise.

Japanese Support Harding Idea

The League of Nations Associations
of Japan has adopted resolutions sup
porting the principles actuating Presi-
dent Harding in calling the disarma-
mcnt conference.
1.-THE practicable realization of the
reduction of armaments," the resolu-
lions said, will be extremely difficult
as long as great power like the United
States remains outside of the League
of Nations. The American proposal
looking to an international conference
is, therefore, particularly gratifying,
as it undoubtedly is q step forward in
the right direction. The Japanese
League of Nations Association hopes
similar associations established in vari-
Gus countries to further the objects of
the League of Nations will use every
means at their disposal to achieve q

GATHER TO SEE
TWO NOTORIOUS GUNNER
IN JAIL AT HUDSON FRIDAY

A large crowd called at the county
Jail in Hudson last Friday to view the
two noted Chicago gunner, Terrible
Tommy" O'Connor, and Galliger, who
were captured in ST. Paul and rushed
across the line to Hudson by Chicago
detectives to prevent their being held
in Minnesota against extradition, and
also to foil any attempt of friends to
aid in their escare. After spending
most of the day in the Hudson Jail
they were taken to the junction depot
and departed on. the midnight train
for Chicago, where, in all probability,
they will be soon convicted of murder
and hanged. The gunner were under
care of six or seven Chicago detect
ives while in Hudson and on the train,
and numerous other officers were on
watch from various vantage points at
all times. In departing from Hudson
the gunner joined the Chicago de-
tectives in thanking Sheriff Gus. Lar
son for the excellent treatment ac-
corded them during the visit" o.
Conner, who is said to be leader of a
gang of gunner, said that he had
heard of Sheriff Larson through pals
who had landed under the Sheriff's
care years ago, and who had spoken
well of the treatment accorded them
in the Hudson Jail. Although it was
midnight when the detectives and
their quarry departed the depot plat
form was damned with people who
came to get glimpse of the gunner
