JAPANESE PARTY
 STRUCK BY CYCLONE. WHILE ON PACIFIC
Gale Sends Big Vessel Reel ing, But, While Shaken, She Remains
 Intact
By Associated Prens

Aboard Steamship Kashima Maru, Victoria, B. C., October 2e.-The gorgeous autumnal day on which the Japanese delegation to the Washing ton conference sailed from YolSo- hama to the gay notes of music and the "banzai'' of thousands of friends was not symbolic, as it later ap- peared, of what was to be. for the voyage across the Pacific on the steamer Kashima Maru, which reached Vancouver today, was marked by a terrific encounter with . cyclone. On Monday, October 24. when the cyclone had spent itself, the ship was again struck by a strong westerly gale which sent her reel ing.
 Forty years ago Admiral Tonosa- buro Kato, the ranking member of the official delegation to the con ference on armament limitation, com ing on an officers training ship, set foot for the first time on the shores of North America. visiting Victoria, as he did later San Francisco. Not during that long period from mid shipman to architect of Japan's great navy did his sailings across the seven seas bring him such storm as fell to the lot of the Kashima Maru. The ship was badly shaken In tho storm. but 1t emerged practically intact.
 Only three women were aboard the first cabin--two Japanese and one American. It was distinctly mans party. Including Prince Tokugawa, a member of the conference delega- tion. who, but for the restoration of the imperial dynasty, would today rule Japan as the sixteenth Shogun, the Kashima bore one of the most representative gatherings of persons that ever visited foreign land. AL most every sphere of national activ- business world by leaders who are visiting the United States, Canada and Europe to investigate social and industrial conditions.
 The prince bore himself cooly dur ing the storm, and moved among the passengers collecting autographs, which is his fad. In the autograph book of a newspaper correspondent he wrote his name and added the words, T determine to do my very best for our country and for the peace of the world"
 The Kashima Maru was southwest of the Aleutian Islands and her course was east. The cyclone struck the ship from behind and the vessel quivered from the blow. Then she turned and faced the hurricane.
 Passengers struggled to the dining salon, which was reached with great difficulty. Dishes and bottles clat- tered to the floor Representative Tainake of the Seiyku party, who goes to Washington as party ob- sorver and who weighs 1s0 pounds, was seen flying across the salon. His steel attached chair was wrenched from the fastening.

NOT LIFE SAVERS
Freight Rate on Gas Masks Is Found
 Too High
By Associated Press

k Washington, October 29.-Army gas masks cannot be considered life saving apparatus, it was formally de- cided by the interstate commerce commission today, and southwestern railroads which held that they were, in the matter of fixing freight rates, lost considerable sum of money.
 The Houston (Texas) chamber of commerce and the w. c. Mum com pany. corporation in the same city, brought the question before the rail- road regulating body by complain ing that the railroads which carried a carload of the masks from Camp Logan were unable to find a specific rate charge covering the cost. and consequently made the charge double first class and classified the masks as life saving apparatus.
 The. commission. pointing out that the masks were sent to Chicago for sale as souvenirs. concluded that the ratc was twice as much as proper especially because the masks were damaged before they came into the salvage sale.

S0VIETS AGREE TO RECOGNIZE DEBTS
 UNDER CONDITIONS
(Continued from Page one>

(Continued from Page one) ginning of 1914 amounted to e,sss, 310.000 rubles Cor about s5.0s2,379,- $50, at the rate of $.515 to the ruble, which prevailed at that time).
 Owe 1e Billions
 Subsequently Russia contracted various debts abroad for the con duct of the war and these loans, to- gether with internal bond issues, brought the state debt up to 32.300,- 000,0oo rubles (about s1SrsS4 500, ,oo0) on September 1, 1917, just before the bolshevik revolution.
 The debts incurred after 1914, how ever, are not included in the new soviet offer.
 Figures are unavailable to show the distribution of the state debt, either in 1914 or 1917, and it connot be definitely ascertained how much was owed to the various foreign gov errments and individuals of foreign count tries. Unofficial figures were given out in Paris a few months ago, showing that at that time the French government and French individuals had an aggregate investment in Rus sia of about 96,Ooo, oooo 900 francs. How much of this investment WIS in- cured before 1914. however. iS un- certain.
 But it Is known that French indi- vfduals held largo securities in Rus sia before the war. Russian invest ments being popular among French investors because of the Franco Russian treaty of alliance. In 1917 the French government passed law permitting French private investors, who subscribed heavily to French war loans, to make part payment in Russian securities. Thus the French government acquired possession Of much of the Russian government stock which was sold prior to 1914, but which the French government, nevertheless, acquired after that date. Whether such securities would come under the terms of the new so- viet offer, therefore. is & matter of speculation.

 Last Day Interesting
 The last day of the session was an interesting day for the house of rep- resentatives. The bill providing for the exemption of tenant houses from taxation came up again after having been defeated the night before. but after long arguments 1t was again defeated The question came up again on a motion for the reconsid- eration of the vote by which the bill was defeated. The vote was reoonsd- cred and the bill again called up for passage, but when time came to seal it's fate, A voted for it's passage and "A against, lacking two votes of the number necessary for the passage of a. bill not included in the governors call.
 Among the bills passed by the house during the closing hours and delivered to the governor were those appro- priating $20,0o0 for the payment of expenses of indigent persons who have been bitten by rabid animals. making failure of person to pay check after notice of failure of the bank to pay prima facie evidence of intent to defraud, and repeating the local drainage law for Mobile county, passed in 1919.
 The bill requiring the county treas urer of Jefferson county to place the county funds in the bank which will pay the greatest rate of interest on daily balances was passed by the sen ate during the closing hours of the session Saturday, and was delivered to the governor. The bill was in- cluded in the call and will become a law, It requires the treasurer to advertise for bids for certain time and to let the contract to the bank which can guarantee safety and at the same time will pay the best i'm terest, The rate will not be less thaa per cent.

 Under the bill the salary of the county treasurer, M. V. Henry, will be increased by s1,30O, and he will be allowed one additional clerk. The house passed the bill several days ago and it passed the senate by 20 to Saturday. Senator Charles R. west or Js1IerSon Voteu anu WorhSu for the bill. A
