Williams pointed out that possibly
some Ohio stockholders will take ac-
ton against the Dollings companies

Federal courts.
The attorney declared that he be-
lieved the DoIlings company and it's
subsidiaries to be solvent so far as
ability to pay creditors is concerned.
However" Williams added, "if
forced to liqufdate, it is believed the
stockholders would suffer a loss

Ifyou have any fur to sell now is the time NOT to ship to the states. At least this is the advice of a Chitina merchant. who just received returns on d large mixed pelt shipment that was re gently sent outside. The returns were exactly one half of what was confidently expected.

JAPAN NOT so KEEN
ON DIPLOMATIC TIES
WITH SOVIET RUSSIA
Pour Parlers Terminate
Suddenly But Illness of
ENJOY Is Cause.
BY Il. Il. EGGER.

Special Cable TO The San Antonio Ii ght
and the Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1928.
Tokyo, Aug. c5.-The first chapter
in the efforts of Japan and Russia
toward settlement of their problems
and possible resumption O. diplomatic
relations has ended with the departure
for Moscow of DR.. Joffc. the soviet
| envoy. Sudden termination of the
pour parlers in progress between the
two countries is attributed to the
illness of Joffe. That his condition
is serious is atteSted by the fact hat
he was carried aboard his train on
a stretcher. He has been confined to
his bed throughout the negotiations.
Close observers, however, are con-
WINGED that the longer the negotiations
were continued, the more the differ
ences in the policies of the two gov
ernments were emphasized. Their sud
den termination is regarded as a step
to prevent possible rupture before
a more formal conference is held.
While the pour parlers were merely
for the purpose of outlining con-
fsrence program and to define out
standing issues. the result has really
been to establish a distinct line across
which neither government was willing
to cross. Weeks of dickering over
the Nikolaievsk affair failed to show
grounds for mutual agreement. while
every proposal concerning Northern
Saghalien island likewise was unsat-
isfactory.
1t is we'll known that Japan is
eager to gain favored nation" treat
ment in Siberia and is willing to &C.
cede much, an attitude which leads
many TO believe that recognition of
the soviet government was inevitable.
However, conservative government Of
ficials have realized that friendly ac-
tons toward Russia are fraught with
dangerous features in view of the at.
titude of western powers. For that
reason it is not believed that Japan
is willing to risk disfavor with the
allies merely to gain commercial adj
vantages. Moreover, the strongest
boosters for soviet recognition are
those who are interested financially.
Contentious that a majority of the
Japanese are in favor os re- gnition
are false.
The japanese public mind has pass
ed through three stages since the ar
rival of Tokyo of DR.. Joffe. The
first stage was one of unreasonable
enthusiasm, the second that of doubt
full skepticism and the third uncertain
interest. Undoubtedly the forces fav-
oring recognition are much smaller
at first. Remaining advocates, how
ever are nersistently hODeful and con-
tinue to make predictions of SPEEDY
action.
The desire of Japan to remain on
friendly terms with the Moscow gov
eminent is reasonable. since Russia is
an important factor in he future of
the Orient. but recognition is believed
unnecessary IN order TO cultivate the
soviets who are outlawed among world
powers and who have everything to
gain by an alliance with Japan.

"1siO, 1850, 1880. 1900, 1920

All the presidents elected after 1910
at intervals of twenty years have died
in office-that is the curious fact that
the superstitious are pointing out.
President Harrison was chosen in
1910 and died the next year; Lincoln
was elevated twenty years later and
was assassinated Garfield was ele-
waited TO the presidency in 1850 and
was shot by fanatic; Mckinley was
named chief executive in 1900 and
was killed; Harding's election came
at the end of the interval of twenty
years, that is. in 1920. Let the Presi-
dent of 1910 beware. So runs the
chatter Of the day.
The condolences are reduced on
scrutiny. For exmaple, the death of
President Zachary Taylor is left out
of account altogether, though all the
other presidents who died in office are
included. The reason be is omitted
is, of course, that his demise does not
fit into the twenty-year periods. But
various rules must be concocted for
the observation-disclosures News
