CONGRESS. ADJOURNS
AFTER PASSAGE OF .
DEFICIENCY MEASURE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Adjourn
ment of congress at 2 o'clock today
was arranged definitely when the SEN
ate soon after reconvening adopted the
house resolution providing for the
sine die ending of the session.
Passage of the adjournment resolu-
ton was marked by brief thrust by
Senator Harrison, Democrat, (Missis-
sippD, at the Republicans. the Missis-
sippi senator declaring that the ses-
sion "ended as the most reactionary
congress since the time of Aldrich,
the most oblivious to executive dicta-
ton since the days of Roosevelt"
Pass Deficiency Bill.
One of the last acts of the two
houses was passage of the deficiency
bill carrying a total of s2,454 ,210 includ-
ing 5000, 900 for relief of Americans in
Smyrna.
Speeches on political and other sub
jects were expected to occupy the
closing hours of the session today.
Opposition to the Liberian loan and
the Dyer anti-lynching bill, Republi
can leaders said, would prevent a vote
being reached on either of these meas
ures pending before the senate. In
order to sign the deficiency measure
and other minor bills, President Hard
ing was expected to attend the closing
hour of the session.

MORAY CONFIDENT
BETTER DAYS NEAR
FOR STATES FARMERS
(By Associated Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 22.-
Governor McCray, in a radio address
to the annual Warren County Farm
ers Association gathering today, de-
clared that from statistical stand
point the factors influencing corn
prices at present should be regarded
as favorable to the farmers The
farmers themselves, the governor
said, are disturbed and down-hearted,
and are inclined to be too pesimistic. y
Il realize it is dangerous to give
advice" said the governor, but il
seems to me that all conditions point
toward higher prices, accompanied by
minimum risk for a decline from
present values
Better Days Near.
81 am confident that better DAYS
are near at hand, but certain definite
things must yet be brought about.
Freight rates must be still further
reduced, city rents must be lowered,
wages must be more nearly equaliZed.
The remuneration in agriculture must
be brought up to point where it will
be comparable with the reward gained
from similar investments of capital
and labor in other legitimate enter
prises. ar
THE country will not enjoy substan-
tial and permanent prosperity until
this is done. Let us look these ques-
tions squarely in the face, consider
ing all the time the rights of each
other and then go forward in conf
dence that the world is not going to
destruction and that all these great
and disturbing questions will be set
tied and settled in such a way as to
establish an era of peace and pros
perity that will continue to abide with
us Tor many years"

JAPS MAY WITHDRAW
FROM PARLEY UNLESS
REDS MODIFY VIEWS
(By Associated Press)

TOXIC, Sept. 22.-Japanese may be
obliged to withdraw from the Chang
Chun conference unless Russia modi-
fies her attitude in a spirit of compro-
mise, according to a statement issued
today by the foreign office.
The Russian insistence on discus
sion of the Nikolaievsk affair and the
evacuation of North Saghalien at the
conference is described officially as
exhibiting a lack of sincerity. 1t was
pointed out that japan had consented
to discuss questions affecting Euro
pean Russia after the present con-
ference.
The conference between delegates
of Japan, the soviet government of
Moscow and the far eastern republic
of Siberia Tuesday adjourned indefi-
nitely pending instructions from To-
kio and Moscow. The deadlock was
caused when the Russians demanded
immediate Japanese evacuation OF
north Saghalien and the Mikados rep
resentatives replied with a declaration
that Japan would hold the debated
island territory until Unidentified for
the massacre of six hundred nationals
at Nikolaievsk in 1920. The confer
ence originally was called for the pur-
pose of discussing trade agreement
between Japan and the far eastern
republic.
ACIJTATH
gotiations at Chang Chun between the
Japanese and representatives of the
far eastern republic and the Moscow
soviet government are being followed
with much interest here because of in
dications that the Russian groups dom
mated by Joffe and his Moscow assist
ants are making every effort to obtain
either directly or indirectly full polit-
ical recognition of the soviet govern
ment by Japan. These attempts seem
to have failed at every point, though
the japanese were obliged to modify
their first position of opposition to any
representation of the Moscow elements
in the cnference.
After a long discussion the japanese
finally consented to admit Joffe and
his associates on terms of equality
Will Il6 ldI 6dSlGIu UelSSdI6S, Dut
with the distinct understanding that
the negotiations were limited to the
consideration of trade and economic
matters and did not involve political
recognition.
No Official Word.
Nothing has yet been heard offic
tally of the deadlock resulting from
the Russian demand for immediate
withdrawal of all Japanese troops from
Siberia, including the northern portion
of Saghalien island.
In Japanese circles it is said the in
structions of the Japanese negotiators
did not empower them to discuss the
Saghalien question and it is believed
here that the Japanese government
will not consent to withdraw from the
island until some agreement has beer
made for compensation in connection
with the killing of Japanese civilians
in Nikolaviesk two years ago.
A further complication is foreseer
in connection with the promise of the
Japanese to withdraw from other por
tons of eastern Siberia by October 1.
This movement was undertaken
without reference to the negotiations
with the Russians and in execution O.
pledges given at the Washington arm
conference, and already many Japan
csc soldiers have been withdrawn. /

were 100000 more wage earners en-
ployed the first of this month than
there were at that time a year ago.
Since Sept. l the textile strike and

Exchange of Salutes
Restricted in Army
By New Regulations
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22-Army
regulations are soon to be amended to
do away with much of the exchanges
of salutes between officers and men
in public places.
Experience in the war when large
numbers of officers were in Washing
ton and other centers of military ef-
fort, has convinced the war depart
ment that strict adherence to the ex-
isting regulations made the required
exchanges of salutes upon every meet
ing a nuisance and led to a general
disregard of the regulation among Of
ficers by common consent.
The revised regulations will restrict
the exchange of salutes for both Of
ficers and men to military reservations
except where they may address one
another while in uniform on the street
or in other public places.

out any suggestions today from Attor-
ney General Daugherty for modifica-
ton of the restraining order issued

contained in this order shall be con-
strued to prohibit the expression of

This order" he said speaks the
last word for the government, and for
g. -,
and fairness; for liberty protection,
with firmness, and, if necessary, with
force"

ment to compel the railroads to fur
nish transportation, he asserted also
that it is the obligation of the govern
ment to step in and prevent interfer-
ence with transportation.

straining order issued Sept. l, and
extended for second 10 day period,
remains in effect, Judge Wilkerson
announced.

HARLAN AND DR.. HUNT
ADDRESS CONVENTION
Of WAYNE W. c. 7. u.

People have an erroneous idea as
to what makes taxes high" said Den
yer G. Harlan, Republican candidate
for state senator, in a non-partisan
speech on the subject of Taxation
before the county convention of the
w. c. T u, held at the East Main
street Friends church Friday. They
try to get their valuation on their tax
able property lowered in order to cut
down their levy but this end can only
be accomplished through the reduction
of public expenditure"
Mr.. Harlan urged all the women
present to register and vote in the
coming election. He stated that at
present there was no need for further
tax legislation and explained the law
as it now stands. He stated that taxa.
ton is inevitable but that it is a ques-
tion as to the equitable distribution
that the public can investigate ana
correct.
Cause of Raise
Taxes are raised principally for
local purposes" said the speaker. in
his effort to convince his hearers that
only a small percentage of our taxes
are paid to the state and nation, "and
most of the public funds are spent
for two main nstitutions-those OF
roads and schools. The present law
provides for the budgeting of all pub
lie funds to be expended and the
leVies proposed accordingly. The pub
lie has a right to object to the dis
tribution of public funds if the objec-
tion is registered at the proper time. /"
The convention also heard a review
of the tuberculosis situation in Wayne
county from DR.. George B. Hunt, local
physician. He reviewed the efforts
on the part of those interested in the
eradication of the white plague in
lishment of permanent tuberculosis
hospital on the Esteb farm south of
the city.
Reports Condition
DR. Hunt gave statistics showing
actual conditions as existing in the
county at the present time and stated
JHdL IlST6 are MANY cases uHkuOWu
| because of the failure to report them.
He pointed out the great expense to
the county at the present time which
would be minimized by the permanent
establishment of the proposed hospit-
| al. The cost for the establishment OF
the hospital to the taxpayers would be
about 10 cents on every $1,000.
