WORKS WEEKS FOR SECONDS.
Virginia Expedition to Photograph
Flash Spectrum of Sun.

MAzOG. Quebec, August 81 P,-
Work of many weeks on the part OF the
eclipse expedition from the Leander
Mccormick Observatory of the Uni
versity of Virginia depends upon a few
seconds this afternoon between 3 and
o'clock.
Since late July DR.. Samuel Alfred
Mitchell, director of TIE observatory,
and his staff have been busy. First
they had to put in place their photo-
graphic apparatus. Lately they nave
been drilling with care in order that
every worker may be perfect In what
ne Is to do during the 100 SECONDS OF
totality this afternoon.
Actually DR.. Mitchell will have only
a fraction of this time in which to Sc
cure the photographs he hopes to take.
His work is in making photographs OF
the flash spectrum, phenomenon that
occurs for just few seconds as the
sun is-obScured behind the disk of the
moon, and for a second and equally
short period just before the period Of
totality is ended.
During three or four seconds the
lines in the spectrum of this layer OF
the suns atmosphere flash brightly
against a dark background, just the
reverse Of what they ordinarily do. BY
photographing the bright lines that
cannot be seen at any other time astron-
omers are able to learn many things
about what makes up the suns atmos-
phere. - IL

NANKING FEARS RUMORS.
Chinese Hear That japanese Military
Scheme viii Affect Country Proper.

NANKING, China, August 81 P).--
Grave fears are felt in Chinese circles
that the coming Autumn will bring de-
cisive developments in relations between
China and Japan affecting not only
Manchuria but also China proper.
Chinese newspapers are carrying sem
sational reports presented as exposing
a japanese military scheme for further
aggression in China" This scheme, the
newspapers say. embraces seizure Of the
leading ports OF the China coast. in
cluding Shanghai, Tsingtao Annoy and
Swatow. to block the entry Of foreign
arms and ammunition.
The reports are especially gloomy con-
cerning Shanghai, where strong Japa-
nese military action" Is predicted. -

FRANCO AMERICAN TRADE
AGREEMENT DISCUSSED
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. August 31.-French and
American commercial negotiators met
this afternoon to discuss the American
proposal for an interim agreement re-
garding import quotas. on American
fruit pending the conclusion of gen.
eral trade treaty.
The Americans had slight expectation
of obtaining an immediate definite un-
derstanding.
The French maintain that the ques-
ton will settle itself shortly since dur
ing Autumn the quota operates to the
advantage Of Americans. The Amer
leans however, are pressing for a per-
manent settlement, contending that the
present quota, affecting principally
apples and pears and representing re-
duction of approximately 80 per cent in
imports of American fruit, adversely
affects American trade.

Proposed Nomura Trip Seen for Pur.
pose of Gauging Public Opinion Here.

pose of Gauging Public Opinion Here.
BY the Associated Press.
Discussion in the japanese Diet OF
the japanese governments plans con-
cerning concentration of the American
Navy in the Pacific, today intensified
the interest of officials here in the real
purpose of Admiral Nomura's unofficial
visit to the United States.
To Questioners in the Diet, Foreign
Minister Uchida has replied he sees
no reason why Japan should ask Wash
ington to explain its feet dispositions.
Yet the opinion prevails in some
who is well acquainted through his
long residence here, is coming primarily
for the purpose of gauging American
public opinion, entertaining the while
a hope that some means may be found
to persuade the United States to with
draw its Atlantic fleet from the Pacific
Fleet Expected to Remain.
The scouting force has been in the
Pacifica since last March 9, and while
plans have not been announced, naval
officials believe it will remain until time
for the force assembly on January T.
Also, feet concentration is scheduled
for Panama beginning February 10.
Japanese newspapers have been espe-
cially bitter recently about the aug
mented American naval forces in the
Orient and the questions in the Diet
reflect the uneaSineSS among politicians
who are determined to recognize Man
choukuo, but foresee international diff
flculties because of widespread senti-
ment against Japan'S course in Man
churia.
The military clique in Japan has
demonstrated its control of the present
government and foreign observers there
seem agreed there is apparently unan-
imous public support for the recognition
of Manchoukuo and its development as
an outlet for the empires surplus
population.
But there is a feeling in American
official circles that many of the recent
statements of japanese officials about
Japan'S determination to go ahead with
its Manchurian plans, regardless of for
eign opposition, may have been prompt
ed by desire to influence the Lytton
Commissions report to the League of
Nations and prevent it from being too
harsh on Japan.
Unfavorable Report Rumored.
Many of the rumors about the Lytton
report being unfavorable to Japan have
come from japanese sources. 1t is not
unlikely that the report will be far
different from these prognostications
although it is almost certain to be un-
favorable in the main to the japanese
case
Enough is known to observers in
Manchuria about the official investiga-
tion of the outbreak of hostilities in
Mukden to make it practically certain
that the Lytton Commission will find
the japanese were the aggressors.
Foreign Minister Uchida said in his
recent speech before the Diet that
Japan would not consent to the re-
establishment of Chinese authority in
Manchuria. But it is believed possible
Japan might alter this position If as
sured of its South Manchurian Railway
concession for long term under a
neutralized state

the Governors right to sit as judge in
the case, commented on the conduct of
the hearing.
Mr.. Roosevelt had no official COM
ment on what John j. Curtin, chief of
Mayor Walkers counsel, called Justice
Staley'S dictates" Curtin said the
courts denial of a writ of prohibition
to halt the hearing probably would not
be appealed until we know what the
Governor proposes to do with regard to
the dictates laid down by the court"
Can't Force Compliance.
Justice Staley said the public officers
law required, in effect. that the witness
who testified against Walker before the
Hofstadter Committee in its investiga-
ton of New York City should be pro-
duced at the hearing.
The Supreme Court justice also held
that removal must be based on acts
while the mayor was in Office and that
they must relate to official duties.
In uttering his three dictates" how
ever, Justice Staley said "it is not
within the power of the court to i'm
pose or coerce compliance Herewith

Gov. Roosevelt has told Curtin he
might subpoena any witness. Thus far

witnesses before the Hofstadter Com

ECLIPSE DISCOVERY
PROVES UNFOUNDED
Leader of Japanese Party
Denies Any "NeW Thing"
Was Found by Him.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.


BOSTON, September 2-The eclipse
excitement closed yesterday in a mys-
tery-"what is the new thing in the
sun that the japanese saw?"
First reports had it a new kind of
gas. This was denied repeatedly by
Prof N Hirayama, the leader of the
Kioto Imperial University party, where
the excitement started right In the
midst of totality
Hirayama had some instruments of
q new kind. One was an attachment
sfor separating the light of the corona
into two parts, getting rid of the rays
(which are merely reflected off from dust
particles in space, and photographing
only the light originating in this mys-
sterious glowing ring.
: Observes Dark Blue"
He had also some new film, more
sensitive than usual. Both improve
ments he said were developed in
Japan.
While observing the eclipse he called
TO an American visitor to look into a
spectroscope, exclaiming, according to
the visitor:
'Look-see that dark blue there
that's something new"
1dteT, DdSeQ on CrlS remark, and SUD-
secuent questioning. the report went out
that Hirayama was confident he had
discovered new gas and that he
called it Al.
Yesterday the Japanese leader said
his new process plates had been under
exposed, due to the eclipse lasting a
full second less than astronomers fore
cast. He said he was not confident how
well the Photographic plates would
turn out
Eclipse Ended Quickly.
His associate, o. Oikawa, obtained
some apparently perfect spectrographic
photos of the corona. Ottawa, too, de-
MED that anything new had been dis
covered on his plates.
The untimely speed of the moon in
finishing its total eclipse was widely
observed. Capt. c. H. J. Keppler, head
of the United States Naval Observa-
tory expedition, reported that stop
watch, in which there might be a slight
error, timed the duration of eclipse at
81 As seconds, when it was expected
to last SO to 98lo.

place the responsibility for their hard
times on the Republican party. The
Democratic party leaders insist that
the Roosevelt camp has always given
AL Smith a square deal. Voters in
large numbers with ragged tempers
are difficult to convince. Catching
the spirit of their districts, candidates
for state and Congressional, office are
running largely on their own records
rather than under the party flag.
The situation is decidedly alarming
to the national ticket promoters.
Recent reports from the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue show that tax re-
ceipts, despite the new excise or So
called nuisance taxes enacted by the
last session of Congress, are greatly
below the estimated income. The
Bureaus total tax collections during
July 1882 were over twelve million
dollars less than during July, 1881.
The tax ON bank checks up to the
present time has produced the largest
revenue, while gasoline was second
and wort, malt and grape concen-
trates was third. If the present tax
receipts are a criterion of what may
be expected for the balance of the
year, the next session of Congress,
converting i'm December, will have the
unenviable task of devising further
means of Federal income to balance
the budget. The opening of this much
debated subject will inevitably bring
to life again the question of the man
ufacturers' tax as solution of the
problem.
Lessened demand for financial re-
lief will probably be the direct out
come of the decision of the Clerk of
the House of Representatives to make
public the monthly reports of the
There are many large institutions
which have no fear of publicity for
their applications, but many groups
requiring relief from government
agencies are not so happily situated.
An application from an industrial or
ganization having many stockholders,
like insurance companies, applying
for loan might create a panicy feel
ing on the part of the uniformed
owners of securities. The mere fact
that an application is filed for Fed
eral relief arouses suspicion which
no amount of explanation can clarity.
Those who favor publicity for govern
ment loans argue, with reason, that
the taxpayers are entitled to know
what groups are borrowing money
from the National Treasury.
