The first evidence of a challenge to the newly organized Master Barber's association, which set price scale on haircuts and slaves in Waterbury, came to the fore to- day when four so-called "side street" shop proprietors announced that they would continue to do business on the old scale.
 The Master Barbers' association last week formed new organiza- ton with a new slate of officers and established a scale of 50 cents for haircuts and 25 cents for slaves. It is the recognized union organization in Waterbury.
 Today the Modern Barber shop at 110 Bank street, Stanley's Bar Der shop at 500 North Main street, John the Barber at 930 Bank street and the Baldwin Barber shop at 450 Baldwin street announced in an advertisement that they will continue to give haircuts for 35 cents and slaves for 15 cenest.
 The Master Barbers' association is holding a meting at Liberty hall this evening and it is reported that representatives of the "side street" shops will be present to state their reasons for maintaining the old schedule.
 One of the officers of the Mas ter Barbers' association said the union does not recognize these

PRINCE ESATO
 OF JAPAN READY : TO TOUR WORLD
Great Men of All Nations
 Should Get in Contact With Each Other Was His Belief
By FREDERICK WHITEING

Tokio, Aug 10-UP)-Person contact between world figures is l the key to better international re- lations, Prince Iesato Tokukawa. premier peer of Japan and for 80 years president of the house of pers, told the United Press today just before his departure on a world. tour.
 q should like to see eminent men of the United States, Great Britain and other countries come more to Japan," he said. And I want prominent men of Japan to go abroad. To learn about other countries. Seeing is much better than hearing. In this way the peo- pleof other lands would get first hand knowledge of Japan" Short, stout and 70, Prince To- kogawa is one of the most active men in Japan. For more than a quarter of a centupry he carried out the exacting duties of presi- dent of the upper house of the inn perial diet, until he resigned.
 For 10 years he has ben presi- dent of the America-Japan so- ciety here. He succeeded Viscount Kaneko who angrily resigned WHltS JdpdH anu AuleTlCd were embroiled over the American Jap anese exclusion law.
 The prince commented on the recently initiated movement to re. peal the exclusion law and saw "excellent results from contacts made by leading men of the two countries" He cited the recent visit of Viscount Ishill to Washing ton, and that of Roy w. Howard, of the Scripps-Howard newspapers to Japan.
 He said he looks forward to the day when "the removal of the present irritant will renew true friendship between the United States and Japan"
 The prince sails aboard the Chichibu-Maru which docks in San Francisco on August 23. From San Francisco he will proceed direct to Chicago to visit the worlds fair. He then will go to New York to board the liner Majestic for South- ampton.

|SEEDSREVEAlL
 CANKER CURE

Washington (UP)-Because a federal horticulturist used an old fashioned method to extract seeds from tomatoes, science has found a new way to cure bacterial canker in the vegetable. The findings. says H. IL. Blood, of the department of agriculture, shows what problems will arise with new processes in farming.
 Blood discovered that the meth od of extractinE the seeds for canning purposes by fermentation of thel tomatoes until the seeds loosened and the. pulp was dis carded guarded against the canker.
 Desiring to disinfect' some in- fected seeds,s and not having a modern power extractor, he fer mented his tomatoes to extract the seeds. To his surprise. he found the seeds he did not treat with the disinfectant were freer from the disease. than those he did treat. < ''sa N V Blood now is conducting experi- ments to discover how long and at what temperature; the tomato pulp should be fermented to kill the. canker. Federal experts pre- dict the findings will persuade seedsmen to abandon power sep arators for the safe and old fash- toned method of extracting seeds.

SCHOOLS SLASH.
BRINGS USE Of
OLD BUILDING
TenIey Structure, Booked for
Razing, will Care for Deal
High Overflow

Elimination Of the item in the
1884 District supply bill for con.
struction Of an addition to the
Deal Junior High School will
force school officials to put into
use an old school building recon-
mended for razing some time ago,
it was learned today.
The old Tenley School at Wis
consin Avenue and Yuma Street
Northwest, now unoccupied, will
be forced back into use, If the
Senate does not restore the Deal
construction project, according to
Robert L. Haycock, assistant su-
perintendent of schools.
It will be necessary to use
this school, he pointed out, to
accommodate the overflow enroll
ment of the Deal. The junior
high school, already congested,
now uses the Murch School for
some of it's overflow.
If school officials are forced
to this procedure, children at
tending classes in the Tenley
building will have to traverse
several blocks from the annex
school to the main building for
some of their classes.
The supply bill, which Is now
before the Senate District Appro-
priations subcommittee, carries
no construction items for schools.

Mirror Is Woman Senator S
Onlv Bow to Vanity

The lady Senator, who was too
shy to make her appearance on
the Senate floor the first day OF
her term, was bold enough today
to say there isn't much difference
between feminine and masculine
vanity.
There's nothing particularly
feminine about Mrs. Caraway's Of
flee in the Senate Office Building.
The only distinguishing feature is
a mirror.
About this mirror, she says:
"And If the truth were known,
I'm sure the IS masculine Sen
atOrs would use the mirror just
as much as I dO-if they had
one"
