sociated Press).-The question of adj
justing points at issue in the island Of
zap is still the subject of diplomatic
conversations between the United States
and Japan, with good prospects of sat-
isfactory settlement, it was said to-day
at the State Department. No intima-
ton, however, was given as to the proba-
bic basis of adjustment.
Previously it had been indicated that
the cables would very possibly be dis
tributed among interested powers, such
as the United States, Japan and Hol-
land. The question of recognizing the
Japanese mandate over the island, how
ever, it is understood. is still open.

Spears and Mayor ]. B. Womble, Of
Concord.
The Governor was requested to or
der the return of state troops to the
posts from which they were withdrawn
few days ago.
A strike among textile workers early
in June caused the shutdown of more
than dozen factories and led to dis
orders which resulted finally in Gov
ernor Morrison sending several COM
panies of state troops to take charge
of the situation.

WILL CONTINUE
DIVISION OF FLEET
PLAN INAUGRATED BY JoSEPHUs
DANIELS WILL BE MAIN
TANNED.
NO REASON IS ASSIGNED
Pacific Squadron To Be Much More
Formidable Than That Kept in the
AtIantic-WiII Be Seven First
Line BattIeshps.

Washington.-The Harding admin.
istration has decided to continue the
Daniels p0licy of division of the navy
into an Atlantic and a Pacific fleet,
despite the opposition of the leading
naval strategists. who say that such
disposal of the nations sea forces will
mean disaster in the event of war.
The Pacific fleet is to be made
stronger than the Atlantic feet by the
assignment to the Pacific of all the
newer and more powerful oil-burning
first line battleships and the assign
ment to the Atlantic of the older coal
burning ships
The total tonnage of the Atlantic
fleet as organized will be 699,473, ex.
elusive Of submarines, and that of the
Pacific fleet S35,296. The Pacific
fleet will be given two more first line
battleships eventually than at pres
ent. These ships now are under con-
struction, but the Pacific fleet will
lose one second line battleship. In
the aggregate the Pacific fleet will be
45,300 tons heavier than now.
There will be seven Eventually
nine) first line and six second line
battleships in the Pacific feet, COM
pared with IL battleships of all
classes in the Japanese navy. The
Japanese have, in addition, four bat
tie cruisers, and are building eight,
while America has none and is build
ing six. The tonnage of the Japanese
navy is 540,426.
, Secretary of the Navy DENLY has
announced the plans of the reorgani-
zation of the navy. When asked If
these plans indicate the policy of the
administration on the question of re-
uniting the fleets, he replied.
1T means a continuation of the pol
icy Of two fleets.
The secretary declined to state the
reasons for continuing the Daniels
policy or to discuss the matter further
than outlining the reorganization
plan. The decision to maintain the
navy in divided state was made by
the president, it transpires. after con.
sulting with Mr.. DENLY, Secretary of
State Hughes and other members of
the cabinet.
The failure of Congress to provide
Pacific bases adequate for the main.
tenance for the entire navy in the
Pacific is said to have been a factor
In the decision. At the same time
the administration believed it unwise,
on account Of the international situa-
tion in the Pacific, to withdraw the
Pacific fleet and reunite the navy in
the Atlantic. although the foremost
naval authorities have said that the
navy would be better prepared II
based as whole in the Atlantic.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE
BEGUN With JAPAN
IMMIGRATION QUESTION Is UP
FOR VERY SERIOUS CON-
SIDERATIoN.

Washington. - Direct negotiations
have been begun between the United
States and Japan for the settlement
OF questions pending between them.
These include the island of Yap, the
immigration question, the alien land
question and the return of Shantung
to China by Japan.
Negotiations are being conducted
by Baron Shidehara, the Japanese am.
bassador, and Secretary Hughes. Set.
tlement Of the zap question would
make unnecessary the consideration
OF this question by the League of
Nations.
1t had been expected that the Yap
issue would be left to the adjustment
by the league council which is to
meet soon in Geneva. The French
government, in answer to the Ameri-
can protest against the award of the
mandate for the island to Japan, said
1t would bring the subject before the
council. 1t is said the basis for set.
tlement in the negotiations between
Ambassador Shidehara and Secretary
Hughes will be the internationaliza.
tion OF the cable privileges on the is.
land
The proposal is to settle the immi.
grafton question on the basis of the
complete stoppage of all Japanese
property rights already acquired in
the United States.
Japan's promise to return Shantung
to China, 1t is said, is to be executed
as soon as practicable and without
reference of the question to any Eu.
ropean tribunal. First steps have
ben taken for the evacuation OF the
portion of the province held by the
Japanese, the military force having
been reduced to between 3,Uvv ana g..
500 soldiers. Advices from Toxic have
said this force would be withdrawn as
son as China provided guards for the
railroad and property in the towns.
Japan, 1t is said, will retain only
such privileges in the province as
are common to the other nations. such
as portion of the international com.
pound which China is to be required
to establish at the port of Tsintau on
the Bay of Kiao. Chou. Japan never
has taken over all Of the railroad prop
critics formerly operated by the Ger
mans in Shantung. but has confined
her claims to that portion of the rail-
road from Tsintau to Tsinau-Fu and
leaving the important line crossing
the province at the latter junction in
the hands of the former operatives,
under the nominal control of the Chi
nese government. It is proposed that
Japan operate the TsinauFu, Tsington
branch jointly with the Chinese.

HEAVY SHIPMENT
OF arms TRACED
FEDERAL OFFICIALS HOLD MA.
CHINE GUNS FOUND HID
DEN ON SHIP.

New York.-Ownership of the 495
machine guns and the hundreds of
spare parts seized by custom officials
after they were found hidden on the
steamship Eastside, and presumed to
have been destined for Ireland, still is
the subject of investigation by gov
ernment officials. The guns, through
the agency of a federal warrant of
detention, were restored to customs
officials from whom they were taken
ON warrant by the Hoboken police
The hearing was intended to bring
out the story of Frank Williams that
they were stolen from his warehouse,
but was declared OF after the federal
writ had been served. Customs off,
cials say they will take the arms from
Hoboken police headquarters to a GUS
toms storehouse and there hold them
until the mystery is solved. Federal
agents are working on several angles
of the case, including an attempt to
trace the guns fro mthe factory in
which they were manufactured. They
are also questioning present and for
mer members of the ships crew. The
inquiry will extend to Norfolk, to
which port the ship cleared after leav-
ing New York.
Mr.. Williams through his attorney
also is conducting an investigation to
determine the identity of the persons
who he says stole the guns from his
warehouse. He also is concerned re-
garding the whereabouts of 105 other
machine guns which he said were
stolen at the same time and have not
been found. Mr.. Williams is a con-
tractor with an office on Broadway.

Advices from Hartford. where the
arms were made, said they were made
for the Auto Ordnance Company Of
New York and shipped in the usual
way. At the Office of that company
here knowledge of their sale to Frank
Williams was disclaimed. The type
of gun is known as the Thompson sub
machine gun, and is sold through job
bers in large lots. II Williams owned
the guns, the official said, he must
have bought the mthrough such job
bers in small lots.

Substitute Approved.

Baton Rouge. La.-By a yea and
nay vote of II to SO. with twenty-five
absent and not voting. the Constitu
tional Convention struck out of the
taxation schedule the ordinance adopt
ed recently fixing the severance tax
on oil and gas at 8 per cent and al
locating one-third OF the tax up tC
100000 year to the parishes where
the taxes are contained, and in its
place inserted substitute by Mr.
Phelps of New Orleans placing no linn
ltation on the authority of the Legis
lature to fix severance tax, but re
quiring the lawmakers to allocate 10
the parishes one-fifth of the amount
imposed up to 100000 per annum.
The Phelps substitute reads:
"Taxes may be levied on natural
resources severed from the soil OF
water, to he paid proportionately by
the owners thereof at the time OF
severance Such natural resources
may be classified for the purpose OF
taxation and such taxes predicated up
on either the quantity or value of the
product at the time and place where
II is severed. No serevance tax shall
be levied by any parish or other local
subdivision Of the state.
NO further or additional tax or
license shall be imposed upon oil
or gas leases or rights. or on land,
by reason of the presence of oil or gas
therein or their production there,
from. The Legislature shall allocate a
portion of the severance tax on oil

one year.
"The Legislature shall provide for

known as a compromise measure. 1t
