Officials Discuss Plan Affect

4. A plan to relieve the dumping
ground shortage in Washington by
allowing the District government to

land along the Eastern branch in
tended for the 4Snacostia parkway is
being seriously considered. it became
known today. The proposition has
been put up to Mai. NJ. c. Tyler, en-
xineer officer in charge of developing
the Anacostia park, By the District
Commissioners Maj: Tyler stated to-
gay that he will go thoroughly into
the suggestion before conciudinE
what action should be taken.
Inc marsh land in the mind of the
commissioners extends for about two
miles north of Bennins road on the
west side of the Eastern branch. The
city officials believe this stretch could

District officials have realized for
several years that the city is rapidly

them to meet. 1t is possible that
some agreement may be worked out
with Maj. Tyler whereby dunn ping
could be authorized in some parts OF

purposes.

ROADS ASKED EFFECT OF
3 TOKENS FOR 20 CENTS
Utilities Commission Believed
Likely to Seriously Con-
slider the Plan.

The Public Utilities Commission has.
asked the two street railway COM
paDies to inform the commission what
they believe would be the effect of
ordering the sale Of three tokens for
20 cents, as requested by citizens as
sociations.
Chairman Keller of the commission
said that the companies have been
asked to- present their views and
probably will compile figures to show
the possible effects on their revenue
of allowing passengers to buy three
tokens instead of six.
1t is known that the companies do
not look favorably on the suggestion.
for the reason that they believe it
would create confusion and delay
service IL conductors had to sell
tokens in lots of three for 20 cents
or six for 40 cents.
Today's development is regarded as
an indication that the commission
will consider seriously the three
token-fcr-.wenty petition.

1t doesn't kill them. but it certainly
knocks them pretty hard
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
today took occasion to congratulate
The Star on it's campaign against
poisonous liquor in Washington.
1t is the best thing that has ap-
peared in Washington for some time"
he said. ut is exactly what we are
trying to get before the public. The
vast majority of the connections now
being sold as whisky are full of poi
sonous or injurious matter. The Star
is to be congratulated"
Commissioner Haynes extended an
offer of all available cooperation in
aiding The Star to place before the
public of Washington the perils of
liquor now being sold by unscrupu-
lous bootleggers.
Conditions Are General.
Instancing the fact that the taking
of liquor is not going on in Washing
ton alone. but is general throughout
the country, is a statement issued to-
day by the prohibition enforcement
department.
The statement details the fact that
reports are reaching Commissioner
Haynes from all sections of the coun-
drinking public with. fake Uquor..",-
The statement continues:
THE director of the state of
Washington tells OF so-called Scotch
whisky coming from Japan in refilled
bottles. plastered with counterfeit
lahcls." Crhis is exactly similar to a.
condition described in Washington in
The Star of few days ago.
Directors in the states along the
Mexican border report the marketing
of alleged Mexican 'teauila.' which.
after being tested, proved to be
doctored denatured, sold in misbranu-
ed bottles with counterfeit labels.
All of which couples up with the
discovery that several thousand
cases, seized near Boston on al:
alleged smuggling vessel, proved to
be liquor of the same character. In
addition. it is well known fact that
liquor alleged to be struggled from
Canada is simply bootleggers' home
made product"
Commissioner Haynes expressed
qualification today at the receipt of
reports which have come to him from
directors throughout the country that
pharmaceutical associations are unit
ing in concerted action against il
legal traffic in liquor. Action has
been taken by hundreds of organiza-
tons banning prescriptions that are
tainted with the least suspicion. and
nany druggists refused to handle
preparations which may be used for
beverage purposes.

UNFAIR TRADE CLAIMED.

The trade name Louise had been
simulated in unfair competition by
Mary l. Hicks, conducting hat shop
at 18th and H streets, the Federal
Trade Commission has decided. in
ordering that tho name belongs to
Mary f. Baker, who also conducts 4
hat shop. at 1916 H street. The COM
mission decided the latter had been
conducting a hat shop under the name
of Marie Louise" sufficiently previous
to the establishment of the second
shop to have exclusive right to the
name.
The complaint lodged against the
second Louise" shop charged unfair
competition, that Mary l. Hicks had
named her shop and placed the name
Louise" in her hats. misleading the
public. and that the owner Of the
shop sMarfe, Louise" suffered from the
unfair competition.

Lansing-lshH Notes Effect
On Pacts Denied BY President

President HardinEs reply to the
Senate resolution calling for informa-
ton as to the binding effect and pres
ent status of the Lanstng-Ishii agree
ment upon the treaties now pending
before the Senate analyses the rela-
ton of that understanding to the
recently negotiated treaties.
The President asserts that the
agreement has no binding effect upon
the nine-power treaty and that, as
the four-power treaty does not relate
to China. It does not bear upon the
agreement.
The Presidents statement is. in full.
as follows:
The so-called Lansins-Ishii agree
ment. signed November 2. 1917. was
not a treaty. but was an exchange OF
notes between the Secretary of state
Of the United States and Viscount
Ishii. ambassador extraordinary and
plenipotentiary of Japan on special
mission. It was described in the notes
themselves as public announcement
Of the desires and intentions shared
by tho. two governments with regard
to China. This exchange of notes. In
tine nature Of things, did not constf-
tute anything more than declara-
ton Of executive policy. 1t is hardly
necessary to point out that such a
declaration. or exchange OF notes.
could not have any effect whatever
inconsistent with treaty obligations.
whether existing or thereafter COM
ing into force.
Quotation From Agreement.
''rhe statement in the notes in ques-
ton which apparently called forth
your resolution is as follows:
The governments of the United
States and Japan recognize that ter
ritorial propinquity creates special
seauehtlE. the government of the
United States recognize that Japa n
has special interests in China. and
particularly in the part to which her
possessions are contiguous
In the light of the other declara-
tons Of the notes in question. it has
been the view of the government of
the United States that this reference
to special interests in China did not
recognize any right or claim incon-
sistent with the sovereignty or polit-
ical independe of China or with our
'open-door' policy.
THAT this was not an erroneous
construction appears from the mean
ing ascribed to the phrase special
interests in China which Is found in
the final statement made on behalf
of Japan at the recent conference
(Senate doc. No. 1875. 9th Cong, End
sess.. p. 223). The phrase was inter-
preted to mean that propinquity gave
rise to an interest differing only in
degree. but not in kind. as compared
with the interests of other powers. 1t
was said to intimate no claim or pre-
tension of any kind preJudicial to
China or to any other foreign ma
tion, and not to connote any inten-
ton of securing preferential or exclu-
sive economic rights In China
Set Forth In Treaty.
Happily, as a result Of the con-
ference. it Is not now necessary to
consider any possible ambiguity in
the expressions used in the Lansing
Ishii agreement of 1917. as any Ques.
tion which they might have raised has
been completely set at rest by the
treaty now before the Senate, to

throughout her history has had
every reason to be friendly to both
China and Russia. and has. therefore.

THE four-power treaty not only
fails to guarantee reversal of the
Japanese policy, but it strongly tends
