JAPANESE ALTER
PLANS. IN SIBERIA
Attitude of Cancellation
Forced by Opposition to
Semenoff.
BY the Associated Press.

by The Associated Press
PEKlNG. August 12.-Copies of Of
fetal kilograms sent by Gen. Tachi-
bana of the Japan expeditionary force
in Vladivostok to his superiors in
Toxic indicate to some extent the
interest felt in the effort of Semenoff
to re-establish himself in Siberia and
in the fortunes of Baron Ungern-
Sternburg in Mongolia.
Opposition by the consular corps at
Vladivostok to Semenoff's return to
power. coupled with antagonism to
him in the Japanese army itself. has
created a situation which the Jap
anese commander declares has forced
an attitude of conciliation toward
the Far Eastern republic, and has
caused the japanese command to al
ter it's plans for operati in Siberia.
One telegram addressed to Gen.
Ouikhara, Toxic, follows:
I'm view of Seo's "a Japanese office
Oh Semenoff's staff) reports in regard
between the Merkuloff government
and Ataman Semenoff, l am taking an
attitude of expectation I have in
formed SEQ that my attitude would
change as soon as the Monaghan
group opens general activities and
shows some actual results in the
Transatlantic region.
1.-The present situation, / believe, is
duo to the underground work Of some
of the extreme radical parties sup
ported by the whole personnel of the
Vladivostok consuls. They are entire
ly ignorant of the real Russian Ques-
tion and are being led by the Ameri-
can representative, who has adopted
an irreconciliable attitude toward our
influence in the far east. I have COM
menced negotiations to counteract
this movement with several Of the
non-socialist groups and expect to
find a peaceful way out of the pres
, ent situation, which is very precarious

LIABILITY DISCLAiMED
FOR SLAYING BY LUNATIC
Railway Fights $4,000 Verdict
Against It for Action of In
sane Employe.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Specldi DlSpatcn 10 Inc star.
RICHMOND, Va, August 13.-Is .
railroad liable for the acts of ap en-
ploye who goes insane while on duty
and commits a crime, making the
railroad responsible in suit at law
for damages? That is the case that
confronts the supreme court of ap-
peals of this state.
The facts are these, as stated in
the petition for a review of the case
after the circuit court for Norfolk
city had returned a verdict of $4,000
against the railroad: On the night
of October II. 1919. several persons in
an automobile approached the tracks
of the Norfolk and Western railroad
where they cross Brambleton avenue.
There were seven persons in the ma
chine and it was about midnight. The
horn was sounded for the gateman to
allow them to pass, and the man,
Brant A. Ford, came from his tower
and raised the gates, muttering and
murmuring something in an under
tone.
He raised the gates and the car was
about clearing the tracks when three
shots rang out, and Claudia Merrill.
one of the party, fell dead. The shots
had been fired by Ford. 1t is dis
closed in the record that the man had
been serving the company for more
than a year, never missed a day. and
was good man for his position. 1t
is also shown that Ford had before
the state went dry. been frequently
in trouble with the police because of
his habits. He was arrested and it
transpired that Ford was a lunatic.
He was sent to the hospital for the
criminal insane at Marion, where he
now is.
Suit was brought by the girls fam
lily to recover. and the jury awarded
his family $4,000. The appeal is to
determine the liability of the COM
pany for the dividual acts of the
watchman, having no connection with
his duties and when he was not re-
quired to carry arms. The occupants
of the car did not say a word to
arouse the watchman's ire, and it is
not known if he had ever seen any
of the parties before.

LOWER R, R. RATES

White House Sees Hope in
Reduced Charges on Ex-
}a p
port Grain.

Strong hope for better prices in the
agricultural markets is justified by
reductions in the railroad rates on
grain for export. already i'll effect
and proposed, according to state
ment issued at the White House last
night.
Recent reductions in the export rate
on grains between Chicago and New
York, the statement said, will be FOL
lowed by sweeping revisions of grain
rates generally, including those from
Mississippi river points. and on the
lines to the gulf. in order that the
entire agricultural interest may snare
fully in the benefits.
IN general" the statement con-
tinued, advances in freight costs are
passed on to the consumer by adding
them to the selling price. But in
grains, whose domestic price Is domi-
mated by the foreign price of the ex-
ported surplus, the producer suffers
when rates go up and benefits when
they go down. Therefore. though the
exports represent minor share of
erinE- of export rates affects the en-
tire crop.
Justify Strong Hopes.
these reductions of rates, together
with the arrangements for financial
assistance TO export trade and the
assurance that Europe is going to
need extraordinary quantities of
sether a justification for strong hope
that the tendency in the agricultural
markets will for some time be de-
cidedly toward better prices"
Reduction of transportation rates
on grain for export was described as
'.one of the most important measures
the administra has initiated for
the relief of agriculture and of gem
eral industrial conditions" The re-
auctions. it was explained, were in
sisted upon by Secretary Hoover as
Il concession to the agricultural in
terests when. on behalf of President
Harding. he negotiated with the car
riers the basis for settlement of their
claims against the government grow
ing out of federal control.
Was Basis of Adjustment
This was made the basis of the
ued. the railroads relinquishing their
so-called labor inefficiency' claims
and undertaking to inaugurate re-
ductions in the export grain rates.
while the administration undertook
to assist them by securing early set
tlement of their claims against the
government
Moreover, the statement declared, it
was discovered under the old condi-
tions that the Canadian railways and
ports were getting the lions share Of
the grain movement to Europe. in
GLIDING large quantities of American
grain.
TO meet this condition" it is said,

ducer would not only get his full
but would also get the highest pos
si BILE price, a movement for reducing
export rtaes was inaugurated by the
administration"
