Jap Envoy on Return
To Toxic Sees Hope OF
Change in US. Position

TOXIC, Aug. 5.-(By the Asso-
ated Press.) = Masanao Hanihara,
Japanese ambassador to the United
States, on his return here Sunday
from America said he did not know
whether he would return to Wash
ington. He declared that he was
not recalled, but came to Japan to
discuss the situation arising out OF
the passage of the American eXclu-
sion act with Baron Kijuro Shide-
hara, minister Of foreign affairs.
The ambassador expressed the
hope that the coming elections in
the United States would change the
complexion of congress so far as
Japanese exclusion was concerned.
He declined to discuss the American
act until he had reported to Baron
Shidehara, but said the question
could not he solved hurriedly
He did not expect that it would be
taken up again before the American
elections.
Hanihara said many members Of
congress had told him they regretted
the manner in which exclusion had
been enacted. He denied he erred
in the use of the phrase grave
onsequences
The agitation which accompanied
the passage of the exclusion act,
the ambassador said. was dying out.

another member of the band who
escaped during the pitched battle OF
the early morning. They said they
found many thousands of dollars
worth of furs, a large quantity of
narcotic drugs and a varied assert
tools in the apartment.
Leading fifty policemen, detec-
tives who had been trailing members
of the band two weeks surprised the
thieves after they had entered the
express companys offices and were
about to load the loot into their mo-
to car.
The yeg9men opened fire, starting
battle which lasted twenty min
utes and ended in hand to hand

used their guns as clubs after their
ammunition had been exhausted
One of the robbers is in a hospital

while his six companions are in an
adjoining ward as a result of. the

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Increased
anxiety over Texas crop prospects
as a result of the continued drought
ras held responsible for an opening
advance It IA to % points in the
cotton market here today. Buying on
the unfavorable southwestern wealth
Ier situation was encouraged by rela-
lively firm Liverpool cables and ac-
tive months soon sold ~ to As points
net higher, with October touching
2S.73c and December 2S.05c. These
prices attracted considerable realiZ-
ing, but the buying movement con-
tinued and the early market held
steady at moderate reactions. Liver
pool attributed the advance there TO
speculative and trade buying on less
favorable crop reports.
The market weakened later under
increased offerings inspired by more
favorable weekly weather reports
and prospects for showers with low
er temperatures in the southwest.
Early BUYERS were among the sell
ers on the decline, which carried
prices off to 2S.17 for October and
1850 for December, about > to s
mt lowe. The marKut WIS unsettled
at midday
The volume of offerings tapered
off around 27.50c for December, but
little buying power developed and
the mid-afternoon market was quiet
with prices net unchanged to points

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Aus. 6.-Wheat &C
ton reversed itself in the last 80 to
Is minutes of trading. There had
been heavy local buying earlier on
reports of 100000 bushels of wheat
sold for export. On the bulge Great
ed there was heavy selling by com.
mission houses and when local buy
ers attempted to unload there was
little wheat wanted Last prices
were near the lowest Of the day and
rs to lis cents lower than the
day before. September 1927 Is to
$1.27 Id; December, $1.31 to $131 Is:
May( $1.36 Ia to $1.36.
Wheat assumed leadership in the
grain trade at the start when
the market came back strong
after weak opening and prices re-
gained NEST of the losses sustained
yesterday. The black rust is again
a big factor in the market. Corn
simply reflected the action of wheat
and trade was Of little Importance.
Oats were affected by the weather
after the market opened.
A little leftover liquidation and
some hedging sales started the wheat
market lower. On the break, there
was good buying for New York &C.
count, some of it credited to eX-
porters and this caught the market
in an oversold condition. Prices had
a good rally but offerings on the
bulges were liberal. About mid-ses-
sion. Winnipeg message told of
black rust being found at the agri-
cultural college, four miles from that
city, and this together with the
strength in Winnipeg caused another
big bulge in prices. A bull factor
early was the reduction In the south
west movement, with receipts in
Kansas City 375 cars over 900 a
week ago. Kansas City receiving
houses reported noticeable falling
off in consignment notices. Kansas
City mills reported a better export
demand for flour overnight. Weather
over Canada was regarded as I'M
favorable for the development of rust
but heavy rains over our American
northwest tend to tensify the appre-
henSion over possible loss from the
Scourge.
Corn started lower and then rallied
with wheat. Trade was mostly local
and without features. Cash corn
followed the futures with offerings
reduced in volume. Crop reports are
more favorable and present weather
Is expected to force growth.
Corn weakened with wheat and
closed unchanged to 1-S cents low
er. September, $1.127-S to $1.13.
December, $1.02 is to $1.O2 IA; May,
$1.02 rs to $1.03.
Oats rallied after a weak start.
There was a little leftoer liquida-
ton at the opening. Later eastern
wire houses were good buyers Cash
demand was fair.
Oats received good support, and
closed unchanged to Ia cent high
er. September, 40; December, 81 to
81 rs; May, 81 3S. Lard closed 5 to
Z IL cents lower; ribs 10 to Is lower,
and bellies unchanged to cents
lower.
Provisions started lower under
selling by packers. On the dip,
good commission house demand de.
veloped for lard and prices had a
good recovery.
Local cash sales today were 5000
bushels of wheat, $4,000 bushels Of
corn, $4,000 bushels of oats, and
3 900 bushels of barley.

height and proportion, and genera

Moreover, it appears from the testi-
mony of T. H. Bartlett that French
artists were quick to recognize the
beauty of Lincoln's face. 1t is to
Frenchmen, he contends, that is due
the credit of first seeing the true beau
ty of the life mask of Lincoln, of APP
preciating it, and describing it.
When Bartlett took plaster copy,
in 1877, to the oldest Paris bronze
founder to get it cast in bronze, he put
it down on the table side by side with
a mask of Able Lamennais. The first
words of the founder were:
What a beautiful face. Why. it's
more beautiful and shows more char
acter than the abbe's, and we think
that is the handsomest one in France.
What an extraordinary construction,
and what fine forms it has.''
Then the founder asked who it was,
and added, 81 shall take pleasure in
showing it to our principal sculptors. y
Some weeks afterward, when Mr..
Bartlett went to get the bronze copy,
the founder told him that the scuip-
tors he had referred to and others had
seen the Lincoln, and had expressed
themselves in the most appreciative
terms of what they saw in it.

The movement continues to gain

rather notorious sinners in this re-
spect in the past) and have also en-
listed the enthusiastic aid of other
associations. Thus the example set
some time ago by the Women's Civic
Club of Glens Falls, New York, in
making the famous Lake George
Highway attractive and beautiful by
the simple process of banishing ugly
commercial appeals has been widely
followed and interest has been aroused
the country over.
The Committee has already secured
the support of strong societies such
as the General Federation Of Women's
Clubs, the National Highway Associa-
ton, the American Civic Association,
the National Academy of Design, and
the American Federation of Arts.
Not all of these, it is obvious, are
purely feminine groups, but the wo-
men launched this movement, still
bear the brunt of it, and deserve the
bulk of the credit from grateful and
long suffe ring Nation.
The managers of many large firms
and corporations have recognized the
fact that advertising which earns pub
lie i'll will is defeating its own object.
The opponents of the billboards have
their efforts on driving
home the truth that billboards impro-
perly placed do arouse i'll will toward
the products {, thereon advertised.
Thousands of letters of protest have
been written to outdoor advertisers
billboards committees formed
in numerous clubs.
Every American of good taste must.
sympathize with this effort to restore
the original beauty of our scenery.
The way to help is to awaken the in-g
terest of ones local club and have itsl
Secretary communicate with thel
