TOXIC, May 7-Adolph A. Joffe,
pienipotentiary of the soviet government
Of Moscow, returned here yesterday from
Atami and, despite his serious illness,
resumed negotiations today with
Baron Shempe Goto looking toward
the restoration Of Russo-Japanese re-
lations. Baron Goto insisted on
settlement of the fisheries dispute
hut NJ. Joffe replied he must insist
upon recognition by Japan of the
soviet government.
The fisheries question is uppermost
in the minds of the Japanese because
the fishing season opens on May 16.
The soviet government granted the
Japanese a member of licenses to
fish off the Siberian coast. but has
since imposed regulations which, the
Japanese declare, make fishing i'm
possible.
Japan has asked for revocation of
the Objectionable regulations and has
suggested that if their wishes are
not carried out they may send a war
ship to protect the Japanese fishing
fleet.

SHERIFF AND HIS DEPUTY FREED OF. CONTEMPT CHARGe
Case Grew Out Of Seizure Of Automobile Said To Have
 Contained Liquor
TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU I
 THE AGE-HERALD Huntsville, Ala, Aug. 27 J

Sheriff Charles D. Lane and Dep uty Sheriff W. A. Record were dis charged from contempt of court pro- ceedings today in the circuit court, after the two, acting as witnesses, answered questions propounded to them by the state in the case of the state of Alabama against an auto mobile that had been seized in a charge of containing liquor at the time officers got it.
 The sheriff and his deputy had spent Saturday night to Monday morning in the county jail on a con- tempt of court order issued by Judge o. Kyle because they had refused to answer questions propounded by a special commissioner who had been appointed to take depositions in the case.
 Judges Oceola Kyle and James E. Horton jointly presided at the hear ing of the contempt charges against the officers. Counsel for the off, cers stated that they intended no disrespect to the commissioner at the first hearing and were willing to an- swer the questions.
 Proceedings were halted while questions were read and answered, given in open court, then the two judges announced the discharge of the officers. The whole trouble had to do with an autom obile that is held by the sheriff following its seizure at a dance, and evidence showed it to be the property of R. c. Brickell former attorney general of Albany When the judge announced the dis charge of the officers the wildesy ovation ever known in the cour; house rang out and was unrestrained for several minutes.

MORE POWER FUR FARM BLDG URGED.
MagnuS Johnson Says Cool idge Should Call Extra
 Session

LITTLE FALLS, Minn., August 27, "The only remedy for the farmer and the agricultural people in the pression is to increase the powers of the farm bloc in Congress" Senator elect Magnus Johnson said in an ad- dress at the Morrison County fair here this afternoon.
 And my first and strongest efforts when l reach Washington will be to remedy agricultural conditions" sad Johnson.
 President Coolidge, in my opinion, should immediately call a special session of Congress to settle the coal agricultural and gasoline price ques- tions"
 Senator-elect Johnson, in speaking of the soldier bonus, said that he was in favor of such a bill, providing the money comes from excess profits made during the war and not from taxation. He said however, he was not sure that this could be done. He referred to recent interview with q reporter of the Kansas City Star and said that statements contained in the paper that he was against books and opposed to history were false and untrue. He said he was a great lover of books and that when he was young man he had access to a large library in the "old country" and that he permanently injured his eyesight by sitting up at night and reading by poor light.
 Saying the republicans wouldn't want him and Senator -elect Henrik Shipstead seated with them and the demands wouldn't have them, John son said they would probably have to arrange a separate place.
 T told Shipstead the other day, he said, that they would have to make a pretty big place for us be- cause, while there are only two of us at the present time, there will be great many more in the near fu- ture."
