"THE STREET OF MANY
FAKERS" MAY LOSE THE
RIGHT TO ITS TITLE
(By The Associated Press.)

Berlin, July 26.-"The Street of
Many Fakirs''-the section of the
F'riedrichstrasse between Unter den
Linden and Koch streets may
soon lose the right to its exotic
title, won by virtue Of the varied
and questionable commerce which
thrives upon its sidewalks and
crossings, for an agitation has been
started to "clean up"
Every article from jumping
Jacks to fine oriental rugs may be
purchased from the vendors who
infest the street. eternally crying
their wares.
The chief complaint against the
character of the street, however,
is that thieves use it continually
as clearing place to market their
"hauls." Not infrequently a rag
ged, unkempt man will offer most
expensive imported fabrics for
suiting, in odd bolt lots, at ridicu-
lous figures. Much of this stuff,
the police feel certain, has been
stolen, but it is difficult to fix the
crime on the street vendor.
Victims of the various drug hab-
its find their chief source of sup
ply on this street.

lRy The Associated Press. !

Washington, July 26.-Partial
response was made Immediately by
congress today to a special message
from President Harding requesting
that powers of the war finance cor
poration be broadened to take
charge of funding upwards of
$500, 100000 of railroad debts ana
to provide additional farm credits.
The president in his message de-
clared that the government was
"morally and legally bound" to
fund the railroad debts and was
under IAN impelling moral obliga-
ton" to provide agricultural credits.
First Step Taken.
The first step toward meeting the
second of the two equests--proVl-
sion for additional farm credits
had been taken in the senate be-
fore the message was read. Sena-
tor Kellogg, republican, Minnesota,
introduced a bill, drafted by Secre-
tarv Hoover and Director Meyer of
the war finance corporation ana
said to have the approval of the
president as a substitute for the
pending Norris bill to create a
100000 farm export corporation.
The bill embraced the presidents
suggestions to empower the war
finance corporation, instead of a
new federal corporation, as pro-
vided in the Norris bill, to advance
credits for agricultural exports.
No Added Expense.
The message dealt particularly
with railroad financing and de-
clared the proposal that the war
finance corporation take charge of
funding the railroad debts to the
government would cause mo add
ed expense, no added liability no
added tax burden" The president
described the proposal as "a sim
ple remedy" contemplating receipt
and disposition by the corporation
of "ample securities" deposited by
the railroads.
The message was referred by the
senate to its interstate commerce
committee, but Chairman Cum
minis, in i'll health, was out of the
city, and when the railroad legis-
lation would be taken up was In
doubt. Leaders. however. expect
ed action within the next fortnight.
Several senators stated privately
they would fight the legislation.

JAPAN DECIDES
To PARTICIPATE
IN CONF FERENCE
ON DISARMAMENT
Official Acceptance Has Not
Been Received, But Re-
/. ports Say a Decision Has
Been Reached,
DATE OF MEETING is
UNDER CONSIDERATION
United States to Take the
Position That Late Next
Fall viii Be the Most Ad-
VantageouS Time,
tBy The Associated Press.)

Washington, July 26 (by the AS
sociated Press) With full Japa-
nese participation in the disarma-
ment conference regarded as final
ly assured, American officials in
charge of the conference plans are
beginning to give earnest consid-
Grafton to the date of meeting as
the next step in the diplomatic
preliminaries.
Such exchanges as have taken
place regarding the meeting date
are understood to have been IN
&ormal, pending a definite state
ment of Japan's consent to enter
fully into the discussions. From
now on, however, the subject will
be given greater prominence with
the United States leaning strongly
toward late fall as the most advan-
tageous time.
Cabinet Reaches Decision.
Official word of Japan's willing
ness to discuss Far Eastern ques-
tions had not reached the state de-
partment tonight, but officials
showed much qualification over
HcNS ~ ms SUM ~ w
cision had been reached by the
Japanese cabinet. 1t has been the
desire here to clear away these
-preliminaries quickly, though con-
fidence has been apparent that
Toxic would interpose no obstacle
to the unreserved discussion de-
sired.
Once Japan definitely has pre-
pared to come into the conference
here without self-imposed restric-
tions and reservations, it is the be-
lief here that the participating
powers can reach an agreement
without difficulty regarding the
program of the sessions.
The Date of Meeting.
The date Of meeting, however, Is
consideration of some Importance
which will have to be decided be-
fore the formal invitations go out.
American officials have empha-
sized that they desire to get the
delegates together as soon as prac-
ticable, though they have no inten-
ton of attempting to dictate what
day shall be selected. They have
suggested armistice day, November
11th.
Whether that time will be ac-
ceptable generally to the other
powers is unknown here, but news
reports from abroad have indicated
Great Britain in particular might
favor delaying the meeting until
spring.
Much data must be prepared by
each nation for use during the con-
sultations here, large staffs must
be organized and many physical
arrangements made in addition to
reaching an agreement on the pro-
gram.

tBy The Associated Press.D

London, July 26 (by the Associat-
ed Press. )-The uncanny silence
Dublin maintains relative to the
British governments proposals
would create uneasiness but for
1.-THE known fact that the Sim Fein
leaders are engaged in daily dis"
cussion Of these proposals, which,
as Austen Chamberlain, govern
ment leader, revealed in the house
Of commons today, were only "out-
lines and principles" This is in
terpreted to mean that they afford
q basis for continued negotiations.
No Reply From de Valera.
No reply has been received by
the premier from Mr.. de Valera.
According to reports current in
Dublin, what is called the rock of
Ulster" is the great obstacle which
must be taken into consideration.
1t is clear from the statements
of Lord Birkenhead, lord high
chancellor, in the house of lords,
and Mr.. Chamberlain in the COM
mons today that the government
has not lost hope of settlement.
The former announced that the
government was hopeful it could
make a statement at an early dateT
Mr.. Chamberlain clearly indicated
that the government expected a
late autumn session to pass legis-
lation regarding peace in Ireland.
These are not the only favorable
signs. Mr.. Lloyd George has de-
cided that he will not go abroad
for q vacation; he desires to be
available for any development.
Moreover, General Jan C. SHUTS
has booked passage on a liner sail
ing for South Africa Friday, and
it is believed he would not leave
England unless convinced Irish ne
gotiations were in line for peace.
Demands Not Extravagant.
A writer in the Westminster
Gazette points out that de Valera's
demand for independence for Ire
land is far from being an eXtrava-
CANT demand, as It is based on
sound historical ground, namely,
that under the act of independence
passed by the British parliament
in 1888, ireland in a kingdom un-
der the British king, but united for
the time being under the treaty
embodied in the act of union in
1880.
