Gleaves Called Of
The action of the Vladivostok com
mander, General OF, was reported to
the Navy department by Admiral
Gleaves, commander in chief Of the
Asiatic feet who was on his way to
Vladivostok to conduct a personal in

inquiry.
Ambassador Shidehara of Japan
called upon acting Secretary of State
Davis late today and expressed the
deepest regret of his government
that such an incident should have &C.
Cured. Earlier he had received from
the Japanese foreign Office version
of the shooting which differed from
an earlier and equally official version
issued in Toxic in that the embassy's
account agreed with Lieutenant
Langdon's antc-mortem statement
that the sentry was the first to fire.
