the weeks payroll, was all two
would-be robbers obtained to-day
for their trouble in holding up a
fifseen-year-old paymaster's as
sistant at the yarn mill OF A. j.
Cameron, in Kensington. AS the
boy was making his rounds with
the checks two men jumped from
behind a door on a stairway,
knocked him down, grabbed the
box and escaped. At the time the
paymaster was in nearby Office
making up the payroll, amounting
to about $4,000.
Later two former employees at
the mill were arrested and
charged with assault and at
tempted robbery.

Special Dtspatch to The Tribune

Any effort that Miss June Avis Evans,
former actress and reputed fiancee of
Dan II. Hanna, may make to benefit
by the blotted-out marginal notations
OF the Cleveland millionaire publish
er's will will be bitterly contested in
the courts.
This was the assertion made to-day
by Mark A. Hanna, Of this city, one
of the three sons to whom the bulk
of the Hanna fortune goes by the
terms of the will.
II was very much surprised to read

absolutely nothing to it; just lot of
propaganda. My fathers will is very
definite. One Of the best attorneys in
Cleveland read it, and there is no
question about it's contents. I will
be glad to refer all to VIII. Boyd, of
Boyd, Cannon, Brooks & Wickham, OF
Cleveland, our attorneys"
"Will the heirs oppose any legal eff.
fort which Miss Evans may make te
share in the estate?" Mr.. Hanna was
asked.
"Ccrtainly we will" he replied.

"The Japanese are credited with
draining the wealth OF the United
States instead Of Increasing II: be-
sides. their cheaper mode of living
enables them to be content with
lower. wages than the Americans
demand. thus causing serious dis
advantage to the American labor
unions. There Is elso a much talked
OF n-assimilability. To none Of
these criticisms we can certainly
answer with sufficient self-confi-
dence.
do the Americans expect the
Japanese To become permanent set
tiers without granting them the
chance OF becoming American c.ti-
zens? Should the Americans ex-
pect Japanese youths to stay in a
country which prohibits marriages
between Americans and Japanese?
DO the Americans expect easy as
similation from the Japanese. to
whom they close the avenues Of
education?
For all of these undesirable
features Of the situation the Jap
anese Government cannot evade
part Of the responsibility. They
have neglected to establish def
mite policy regarding immigration
problems. They have not thought
of improving local conditions at
home. They have Endorsed their
negligence by demanding special
conditions for labor. In this way
they have not only caused antip-
athy to grow against our labor ele-
ment but allowed the conflagration
to spread to the land ownership
problem, which has nothing what
ever to do with the immigration
problem.
whatever solution may be arrived
at through diplomatic channels, I
afraid 1t will not be very much
more than a short makeshift Of
expediency. Whatever may be the
other circumstances that are ac-
tually responsible In arousing en-
nifty against the Japanese. there Is
no room for doubt that the labor

very strong.
The "KoseilSai party" which is in

action to prevent the growth OF anti

Peace Delegation Blamed.
The political opponents of the party
in power have not hesitated to assert
that the Japanese delegation to the
Paris peace conference committed a
grevious blunder in not peremptorily
demanding a satisfactory settlement OF
the racial equality issue. The charge
is made in such Japanese newspapers
as are permitted to reflect criticism of
the Government--and only a few are
accorded this privilege to a guarded
extent-that the representatives of
Japan at Paris should have surren-
dered the claim of their country to
Shantung and fought out the race is
sue, which was abandoned to win the
control of coveted Chinese territory.
There does not appear to be any
question that the racial equality is
sue will be pressed before the League
of Nations by the representatives of
Japan. Scant hope is expressed by
the Japanese leaders of securing any
favorable expression from the United
States regarding the claims Of Japan
in this respect. The fact is that while
the leading statesmen of the Mikado's
empire volubly protest their friendship
for the United States and predict an
amicable solution of the problems Of
the Pacific confronting both Govern
ments, the dominant sentiment in
Japan does not sustain this conf
dence.
Wide currency is given all state
ments and comments made by the
most prominent men Of the empire,
who continue to discuss with engag-
ing intelligence the most important
problem that holds the attention of the
Japanese people of every rank. None
of these statesmen Is accorded a more
respectful audience than is the Mar
quis Okuma, former Premier. In a
recent address the Marquis, who is
one of the most respected Of the Elder
Statesmen" predicted that way
would be found to solve the immigra-
tion problem.

viscount Kaneko's Opinion.
A somewhat different form is adopted
by the Viscount Kaneko, who con-
tended that the Japanese who emf
grated to the United States are de-
their capacity for patriotic
citizenship equal to that of any other
type OF emigrants.
ASK any American IL he means

a recent address. land they will not
acknowledge 1t very readily. Ask
the Americans what It Is they dis
like about u.s. what harm the Japa-
nese have ever done to his inter-
ests, and you are vaguely informed
that the Japanese constitute a
menace because they are yellow.
That any argument founded upon
a racial prejudice is absurd and
unjust admits OF no doubt.
"The Japanese cannot help being
yellow. When we learn OF the
progress our brethren are making
abroad we are bound to feel a
genuine JOY In our hearts. We
cannot command them to be less
industrious, to stand on ceremony,
and to be little more idle just to
please the Americans. Neverthe-
less. we have showed ourselves
ready to respect American wishes
by preventing the exodus OF our
enigrants and subscribing to the
'gentlemen's agreement
THUS we have accepted any and
every condition it pleased Arneri-
cans to demand of us. But, not
withstanding all these concessions,
the Americans still propose to deal
a finishing stroke on the Japanese
residents Of California by impos-
ing a seriously exacting condition
on the rights Of the Japanese by
appealing to the referendum.
Driven to this frightful situation
we cannot afford to wink at it,
however pro-American we may be.
The Japanese will be henceforth
deprived of not only the rights
granted them by the treaties but
also Of the rights acquired in a
legitimate way by private indi-
viduals.

Views of an Educator.
Another contribution to the dis
cussion Of the immigration problem
which was widely circulated through
out Japan was contributed by DIR. X.
Horie, professor of the Keio Univer-
sity. DR.. Horie, whose views command
great respect throughout Nippon, ia
vors frank discussion of the Jap
anese immigration problem by the
people Of both countries.
'If the Americans insist upon
discriminating against the Japanese
on account Of racial differences"
said the doctor In a recent lecture,
there will be no other help than to
wait until the Americans get rid
OF such prejudice; but I do not
believe that the hatred OF the
Americans for Japanese can be
strong enough to drive Americans
to attempt the radical destruction
of the economic foundations OF the
Japanese Empire.
II for one do not hesitate to at
tribute the main cause to the
American prejudice to economic
considerations. Look at the his
tory Of the Chinese exclusion act.
The Chinese were the first Oriental
emigrants to America, and the
American owes to the Chinese
credit for the speedy completion Of
the railroad net along the Pacific
coast. When the Chinese coolies
completed the railroad and sought
other occupations Americans placed
check against them by Federal
as well as State legislation.
ut may appear very cowardly
and unreasonable on the part OF the
Americans to be always ready to
agitate against any race from whom
they may expect competition, but
in this respect they are acting on
firm convictions. Justification OF
the agitation against the Chinese
coolies applies to the case of the
Japanese now. There cannot be
any difference between the two.

Jitney1nen ToFight For
 Norwalk Run

Manager J. B. Potter and Superin- tendent Frank L. Kibling, of the Bridgeport Division of the Connecti- cut Company, will be in Norwalk Thursday. They will attend further hearings before the Public Utilities Commission on the granting of jitney permits. The Norwalk to Bridgeport transportation route will be consid- cred as one of the knottiest problems confronting the commission.
 Both the jitney and trolley forces are directing their energies towards gaining control of the Norwalk- Bridgeport line. The jitneys are fighting for the right to operate on the line, while the traction company is trying to secure a monopoly to force out the smaller competitors
 When the commission recently con- vened in Bridgeport, the question was threshed out at length. In reply to the claims of the Connecticut Com pany that the route rightly belonged to them, and that they were able to take care of all patronage on the line, and were prepared in addition to establish a line of motor buses, rep resentatives of the jitney men con- tended that they had worked day and night for five years making the route what it is today and would sustain a loss between s4O,000 and s50,00O if the right to operate on the line were denied then-
 Five hundred commuters are ac- commodated by the jitneys to and from Norwalk and the intervening towns each day, and the route is one of the most profitable in this section.

London, June 28.-The na- tional coal strike, which had been in effect since April 1,was settled today. Official an- nouncement to this effect was made following the second con- ference of the Federation of Miners and the colliery owners at the Government Board of Trade office.
 It was learned later that Premier Lloyd George would ask Parliament to sanction a renewal of the subsidy offer of 10,000,000 pounds sterling. This offer had previously been made on condition that the strike was set 1led within a. certain length of time but the time limit passed without a settlement. The subsidy was to be applied to the mems wages so that the wage reduction which the mine

 While it was at first believed that gangs of boys from Stratford and NewfieId avenues were the offenders, it has later been learned that gangs from the vicinity of lower Newheld and Seaview avenues are the respon- sible parties.
 These lads ranging in ages from 10 to 15 years chamber over the high board fence soon after dusk each evening. They have been known to rip up the bleacher seats, turn the grandstand seats topsy turvy, and mutilate the freshly rolled diamond. On several occasions they have been seen to take the b1eacher board seats, and use them for see-saw. purposes across the top of the small board fence that separates the field from the bleacherS.
