Evidently it has not occurred to you

CLEVER JAP SPY
CAUGHT IN
TOLLS
Played All Angles of Crafty
Game. but Finally Fell in
Police Net
BY HUGH j. SCHUCK,
International News Service.

TOKYO, Nov. 15.--Spying is a
well-developed profession in Japan,
but even the oldest and most cum,
ming Of the operatives had their
eyes opened when the arrest OF the
youthful Tetsuo Toshirna disclosed
that he had been burning the
candle at both ends" with a nice
large bonfire in the middle.
The arrest of Toshima followed
the attack upon the secretary of
Baron Shidehara, foreign minister,
by three armed members of the Red
Heart Society, an organization of
workingmen who desire Japanese
Intervention in China. It was
known that Toshima had had more
or less to do with the society, and
his house was raided.
Police Dismissed.
Among other things discovered
among his effects were a number
OF official papers from the Metro.
politan Police bureau of a highly
confidential character. These. he
confessed to have bought from
certain police officials, who were
Immediately dismissed.
Seeing that he was fated to serve
a long prison sentence under any
circumstances, and probably moved
by his knowledge Of the system
used by Tokyo police to make their
stubborn prisoners talk, he an
nounced that he had proof that the
whole police force is a mass of cor
ruption and told his story.
Starting with q small capital a
year ago, Toshima bribed an of
ficer to steal for him papers rela.
tive to the plans of the police re
garding both the radical element
and the so-caIled Fascist group. BY
showing the papers as evidence Of
the confidence he was enjoying al
police headquarters, he won the
confidence, first Of the Bolshevist
group, and then Of the agitators
Of the Right Wing. ~
Sold Either Side.
Any secrets he might worm out
Of either branch of. agitators he
would sell to the police. He also
obtained money from both the radt
cal factionR. In this way he amass.
ed nearly $4,000 during the past
year.
The facts which Toshima recites
Indicate. without shadow Of doubt
that a great many high Govern.
m1ent officials have found him a
clever and useful man, and have
paid him we'll for his services. Mr..
Yokota, present Minister of Justice
admitted to representatives Of the
vernacular press that he had at
various times given Toshima $50
or 500 for securing information,
but the Minister added that he
never placed full confidence in the

come out for reform in general ex-
cept through desiring some reform
Ia particular for themselves
The reform which the unionized
railroad employee Immediately wants
is in the provisions Of our good old
friend the Howell Barley bill.
This bill, when this Congress re-
cessed last summer, had the legis-
lative right-of-way on the first Mon.
day and on the third Monday Of
each month in the House 6f Repre-
sentatives.
When Congress re-convenes, this
bill win still have that same right
of-way.
Advocates Hopeful.
Its friends are confident that now
they will pass it.
William H. Johnston, head of the
International Association of Mach
inists and outstanding figure among
the heads of all the shopcraft unions
on our railroads, tells this writer
that the Howell Barley bill now is
certain to get passed.
He also maintains that in the
Presidents cabinet there are in
fluences not hostile to the principles
of the bill.
u These principles; In fact, as it hap
pens, were in ileffect endorsed and
praised by the last Republican ma
tional platform.
The bill would do two things mod
erately startling.
1. 1t would compel direct confer
ences between EMPLOYERS and en-
ployes on railroads regarding the
Interpretation Of existing contracts
regarding wages and working condi-
tons.
2. New contracts regarding wages
and working conditions would be
registered in q court of record, and
the unions could be sued for dam
ages If they violated any clauses
in those new contracts.
Viewpoints Divergent.
The unions think that they are
going quite far in offering to allow
themselves to be sued.
The railroads think that the
whole Howell Barley bill is "a
scheme for unionizing all employees
on all railroads.
In any case, the fireworks of the
short session" seem likely to be
furnished simply and only, If pres
ent indications are reliable, by the
two persons herein already mention
ed-the embittered farmer and the
aggressive unionized railroad en-
ploye.

NEW YORK. Nov. i4.--About

Walter Dymock, Of Elizabeth, NJ. j.,
who died on October 26 as q result
OF poisoning In the laboratory Of

suits Of post.mortem examination,
which he has made public
This, with q similar examination

If Elizabeth, another victim, proved
that tetra.ethyl lead was the cause
OF the four deaths In the plant.
Doctor Gettler asserted. Doctor
GettIef., who made the analysis at
the request Of Doctor Charles
Norris. chief medical examiner, is
the pathological chemist of Belle.
vue Hospital.
Never before had medical men
had an opportunity to study the
organs Of victim of tetra-ethyl,
according to the chemist, who said
experiments upon animals would be
undertaken to discover whether
there IL an antidote to the poison.
To avoid poisoning, men working
with the substance must avoid In
hAlation or contact with it's vapor.
Doctor Gettler said. The minimum
amount necessary to cause death
was not determined.
In Dymock's bvuy II grains OF
lead substance were found about
one-fourth Of a grain being pure
tetra ethyl. It was estimated that
l1h grains Of the original lead
were present at the time of death.
The lead was found in the brain,
the bone and the lungs, indicating,
the physician said, that it had been
absorbed through the pores Of the
skin and through inhalation.
