Judge ]. W. Campbell of the pro-

built in his large apartments at the
court house. This is great impove-

DOORN. Holland, April f7-Never was contrast between former glory and present humiliation more accent uated than when Wilhelm, the form CT kaiser, followed the body of his wife. Augusta Victoria, to the station at Maarn where he entrusted his faithful companion to his sons and
 The emperor and the ex-cown prince and other sons present were all attired in full uniform of the Prus- sian guard, their helmets crepe-cov- cred.
 The funeral procession arrived at the station in darkness only broken by the light from a few lamps. First came a huge car covered with flow CTS, followed by servants. who loaded the wreaths into the railway carriage. About ten minutes later the hearse arrived, flashing searchlights. It was draped with black cloth with white cross border.
 From the next automobile Chaplain Dryander alighted wearing black robes. Then came an automobile car rying the former emperor and his daughter Princess Victoria Louise. which drove to a shelter of shrub hiding it frow view.
 The ex-crown prince and Prince Adelbert walked bviskly forward. Other members of the family alight- ed Representatives of Queen Will helmina of Holland, the dowager queen, and the prince consort. togeth- CT with representatives of the king of Spain and the king of Sweden and several Dutch officials closed the pro- cession.
 When all had collected around the coffin. the court chaplain, Dr. Dry ander delivered a brief oration. The coffin was then placed in the rail- way carriage, where Wilhelm Fred erick William and Princess Louise remained a few moments. Then the ex- emperor led to the way to the cars in which other members of the party were to make the journey. He thanked them all and took leave.
 For a brief period Wilhelm became dimly visible. His figure was that of a man broken by sorrow. Princess Louise entered the automobile with her father, the door closed, and the car carried the exile dack to confine- ment without his devoted wife.
 Soon after departure of the ex-er- peror, the eX-crown prince returned to the castle.
 The last farewell visit to the fu- neral car will bc paid tomorrow be- fore it proceeds to Potsdam.
 A service ia mourning was held in Doorn castle this morning. During it's progress former Emperor William frenquentIy sobbed and once seemed about to break down.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Legis- lation to eliminate unnecessary brok- craze transactions, to facilitate wide distribution of information on market conditions and strengthen the powers of the government in its price investigations is recommended by the federal trade commission, in a report on the industrial situation, drawn up at the request of President Harding and made public tonight.
 "Open price associations which operate within the laws to keep their respective members advised confi dentially of one another's price sched- ules are accused by the commission Of contributing to the maintenance of unduly high retail prices.
 It is suggested means must be found to reduce costs of necessities, such as fuel and housing, before other commodities can come back to nor nal.

Rosenbluth Denies
 Part In Murder Of Camp Lewis Officer
[RenuhIican A. P. Leased WIrel

NEW YORK. April IT. - Denial that he was connected with the shooting and killing of Major Alex ander Cronkhite at Camp Lewis Ia coma, two and a half years ago, was made today by Robert Rosenbluth, formerly a captain in the army en- gineer corps. Rosenbluth, arrested here on a charge of murder and re- leased on $25.000 bail, was accused in an alleged confession made by Ser geant R. P. Pothier at Tacoma, of having ordered him to shoot the major, promising protection.
 Rosenbluth declared Major Cronk- hite was "the best liked man in the outfit and asserted that the depart ment of justice agents had blundered.
 Tt was to satisfy private ven geance." he said. and to hang on to their jobs that he was accused.
 The idea of a premeditated con spiracy to shoot Major Cronkhite, he declared, was impossible. as the ma jor was in the hospital four days previous to the shooting and no one knew he was to be with the skeleton regiment during their hike.

Immigration Minor Issue There is not the slightest danger sf war over the Japanese problem In California and other Pacific coast or western states.
 The United States will do the just thing by Japan in this matter, and though there will be an outcry raised by the iingoes over the terms of the settlement, there will be no serious trouble.
 While the leading Japanese here express the opinion that the agita- ton in the United States is to cer- tain extent racial. they admit at the same time that it is largely econom- teal and that similar conditions ob tain in Canada Australia and New Zealand-dependenci of England, her ally. So she could scarcely go to war with one country for doing what another country is doing without pro- test from Japan.
 Asia the Batt!eeround
 If President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes hew to the line of absolute justice in dealing with Tok- you in the matter of immigration, and they undoubtedly will, remem- bering Japanese susceptibilities as they would have American suscepu- pilities remembered, the entire ques- tion can be settled once and for all to the SatlS1acIlOn Ol eNefSpou oasS a few extremists in both countries.

 MOON, April IT, Sunday brought additional discomfort from the coal strike to the people as the need for fuel was increased by win try weather, with snow in some sec- tons.
 Leaders of the miners have left London. apparently much to the dis appointment of the government which had been hoping that, now the political question involved in the de- mand of the miners for a nationai pool had been disposed of by the re- fusal of support by the triple alliance. 1t might be possible to get wage negotiations reopened.
 The weather and the collapse of the threatened railway and transport strikes has had the effect of retaro- ing the recruiting of the volunteer forces in London.

Clash of Opinions

Clash of Opinions
 What would be, for example, Ja- pans flair share, in China, and what Americas flair share?"
 There is room for a terrific differ ence of opinion right there. As a matter of actual truth wide diver gence of opinion already exists be- tween the two countries over this very question-just how wide re- mains to be seen.
 Japan, of course, justifies her pres ence in Shantung; opinion in the United States is directly opposed to the whole Shantung occupation. Viscount Ishii, in Washington in 1917 rather suggested that there should be Monroe Doctrine for the Far East" according to former Sec retary of State Robert Lansing, and out here at least, opinion seems to construe such doctrine as. meaning primacy, or paramount interest. Here, again, America interposes an ! objection
 Japan's 21 Demands Then there are the 21 demands which Japan made on China in 1915 Had they gone through as intended i China, it is generally admitted, would have become to all intents and pur- poses a Japanese protectorate. Here there is room for violent clash of opinion between the United States and Japan and perhaps worse than a clash of opinion should the demands or their equivalent be in- sisted upon.
 l There are two clans struggling fol control in Japan today. One is the militarist crowd, the other is the in- dustrial, or capitalist crowd. Both are sincere The militarists believe Japan's future must be se- cured through Japanese domination in Asia while the industrials ars equally emphatic that prosperity lie: in peaceful penetration"
 Two Parties in Balance
 The business men of Japan say "th, less said about the 21 demands tn, better" They admit a mistake wa made and indicate the demands vii never be revived. The military fac ton however. sees the Situation in different light and contends that strong policy in Asia is essentia

Wrangel Sets Up Russ Government
 In Turk Capital
Republican 4. p. Leased Wlrel

PARIS. April 17.-General Wrangel has esta blished a so-called Russian government at Constantinople, ac- cording to a semi official French announcement today. He is attempt ing, the statement says, to maintain his Crimean troops as an army, op- posing efforts of the French to repa- triate the refugees or send them to Brazil or elsewhere.
 Announcement has been made that the French recognition of the gov ernment of South Russia as defacto authority ceased when General Wr5ln- gel was forced out of Crimea. The relief afforded these refugees is do- clared to have cost France more than two hundred million francs in five months, and that she has received as security the generals ships and some merchandise, worth hardly onefourth of that
