WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-An-
other advance on washington,

This time, if present plans go
through, it will be farmers from

They will come in trucks. On

the way by a pre-arranged chain
of friendly farmers"

In order that the workers of this

chasing power of labor may not be
reduced and that the spread of en-
ployment may, at the same time, be
enlarged, 1 am in full sympathy

This, however, must not be ac-
companied by reduction in the in

In order to insure a permanent

AND RUN AWAY 2

and Fujimura attended several gay
parties aboard the ship.
AT one Of these, costume ball,
the silk prince appeared in a livid
butterfly costume-symbolic of the
source of his riches.
On the night of Fujimura's dis
appearance, Mrs. Reissner left him
about midnight to attend a party
in the stateroom of Mildred Har-
ris, first wife of Charlie Chaplin.
That night, it seems, Fujimura
preferred to hang around the
ships bar with the men.
Mrs. Won ReiSSner, who stayed
at the Mildred Harris party until
nearly dawn, went directly to bed
upon her return to her own state
room.
When informed next morning
that Fujimura had vanished, leav-
ing his 7-year-old daughter asleep
in his stateroom, she was at a loss
to understand.
The rich, Suave japanese had
laviShed gifts on the pretty blond
actress since their meeting when
she was a show girl in George

THUS far the unidentified per-
Il son who was seen talking
with Fujimura in the shadows of
"a" deck at 2:45 on the morning
of his disappearance never has
come forward to explain.
Likewise, investigation has
shown that two alleged notorious
blackmailerS" who boarded the
ship at Halifax and whose ap-
pearance was reported to have
thrown Fijumura into a panic
were nothing more than a couple
of Small-time gamblers who had
no connection with the case.
Admittedly, Fujimura was a
reckless gambler. He played for
big stakes; he had money, was
willing to bet it and did

fed she once saw the little Jap
anese lose $4,000 on the turn of
a Garland smile.
Investigation disclosed that
much of the 100000 that Full
mura had withdrawn from the
bank before his departure had
gone to pay gambling debts, but
that explains little.
Fujimura's business associates
say that he was worth at least
$4,000,000-and in comparison
with that amount, 100000 seems
small.
A MOTHER puzzling factor is

All sorts of theories have fol-

One is that he was killed in

improbable on a ship given to so
much night life where husky stew

another is that he was slain by
