Another declaration bearing on the Russian policy of the United Statea was made tonight by Secretary or Commerce Hoover In discussing trade with Russia. It came as confirmation of the convic. tlon that there 'would be no change In the attitude of this Government toward the Hague conference or the question of having dealings with the present Bolshevist reglmej Mr. Hoover went at some length Into the economic conditions In Russia, and said that the trade agreements which had been made with the Soviet by Great Britain.

The American problem where Russia was concerned, said Mr. Hoover, was not that of trade, but that of Investment.

"There is nothing in the trade treaties between Russia and England. Germany. Italy or other countries which permits or wablifcss trade with private in Russia.

SHIDEHARA WITH PREMIER Present Japanese Ambassador at Washington Has the Refusal of the Tokio Foreign Office.

TOKIO. June 11 (Associated Press. Admiral Baron Kato today accepted the premiershln. His non-party Cabinet comes Into power with the avowed Intention of carrying out the agreements of the Washington Conference in the spirit and the letter. The one condition on which Kato ac cepted the Premiership was agreement of army leaders to reduce the estimated army budget by.

40.000,000 yen and to adopt a general policy of retrenchment, Kato will have the support of tha Seyukai majority party In the Diet and the Kenkyukat. the largest group of oeera In the House of Lords. It Is understood that Shldehara has the refusal of the Foreign Office port folio in Kato's Cabinet. The members of the Cabinet have been officially confirmed. They In clude seven Peers.

WASHINGTON. June 11 (Associated Press). The accession of Admiral Baron Kato to the Premiership of Japan Is looked upon In many quarters here as not only a notable triumph for the principles of the Washington Arms Conference, but In a broader sense as the beginning of a new day of concilia tory policies In the Toklo Government's relations with the rest of the world. Advices received by Japanese elements here have convinced them that Baron Kato would accept tha Premier's post only if he had assurances of sufficient support to keep the militaristic group In Japan in check. It ia assumed that these guarantees of support have been given, and that the significance of his acceptance, therefore, la even greater than press dispatches indicated.

Although himself one of the most distinguished Japanese naval officers, the new Premier is said to have long held the view that Japan's place In the world could best be filled if she avoided ag gresslve acts and pursued a foreign policy based primarily on pie maintenance of peace. He ia understood to be anxious that good relations be restored between Jspaa and China, a fact which in Itself Is regarded here as making his acceptance of the Premiership a develop. ment of first Importance in Far Eastern politics. I Ever since Iaron Kato's service in Washington as head of the Jspanese delegation to the arma conference, he is said to have been working assiduously for full acceptance of the conference program In Toklo, a result which it is suggested here may have made It neces savry In the present disturbed political conditions there to take the helm of government himself. Full details of the governmental difficulties of the Toklo Government are not known In Washington, but it is firmly believed In some quarters that the conference proposals might have failed of unequlvocable acceptance had Baron Kato effaced himself as a possibility for the Premiership.

Mention of Baron Shldehara, the Japanese Ambassador here, aa a possible selection for Kor-Jign. Minister in Baron Kato's Cabinet, cheated much Interest in diplomatic quarters although It had been an open secret here that he was in line for such a promotion. When he left liere several weeks ago for Japan it was the understanding of hla friends that l.e might Become head of th Foreign Office should his health irmlt Latent private advices indicate that ha virtually has recovered from his illness, or at icasi nas iouna it unnecessary to undergo the major operation nhvalcians iiad thought requisite.

STEEL Threatens Sturgis He Will Ask Indictments Unless 'Phantom Stock Gambling' Stops.

SAYS'CHIPS'CARRY NO VALUE Cites Schiff's Repudiation of Flotation Sees Clear Case of Breaking Inadequate Laws. Samuel Untermyer. counsel to the Lock wood Committee, wrote Alfred- B. Sturgis. Secretary of the New Tork Curb Exchange, yesterday, that unless trading In the stock of the North Ameri can Steel Company on a when issued basis ceased at once, the case would be placed before the Grand Jury and an Indictment asked for all concerned.

Mr. Untermyer wrote that In dealing In the phantom stock of this embryo company." the Curb Exchange was not able to furnish the slightest reliable Information regarding ths slse. color or conversion value of the chips In tho game In which It was Inviting Its own members to participate. Until constructive legislation ended such a game, he said, the chips would have to have their Identification marks and redemption values stamped on their face. In his letter, Mr.

Untermyer pointed out that Mortimer Schiff of Kuhn. Loeb and Company, which Is In charge of financing the North American Steel Company merger, admitted to the Lock-wood committee that no. company had as yet been organised and that his firm was under no obligation, legal or moral. In the flotation of Uie sioi. The letter follows: 120 Broadway.

New Tork City. June 11. 1922. Alfred B. Sturgis.

Secretary. New Tork Curb Exchange, 78 Trinity Place. New Tork City. Dear Sir: Unless the gambling operations now being conducted on your ex- cnange in ina North American Steel Company when Issued cease Instantly by the withdrawal of the privilege of trading, the facts will be forthwith placed before the Grand Jury that Is now in slon for the purpose of dealing with cases arising out of the Investigation or the Lock wood committee, and an Indictment will be asked of all concerned. The partner in the banking firm having in charge the negotiations for the furnishing of the capital that will be necessary to the consummation of the North American Steel Company merger has.

as -you know, testified that no company has yet been organised, that not even the amount of authorised share capital has been determined, that there la no agreement In existence for the furnishing of capital and that his firm Is under no legal or moral obligation In that respect or in any other direction connected with the flotation of the proposed company. He has aluo specifically repudiated under oath all connections with or knowledge of the pretended trading or transactions that are being conducted on your exchange or that any of these orders emanated from his firm. Whether or rot hla testimony Uat his firm has no knowledge of or connection with any of these dealings be accurate Is immaterial. 1 believe this merger to be a legitimate undertaking, but If It cannot be consummated upon its own merits without the aid of such practices, the sooner It Is abandoned the better. Th fsct remains that your Exchange admitted the phsntom stock of this embryo company to tne privileges of trading when Iswwl without having received a responsible application for llst-Insr or anv fucts on which a Judgment could be basod and without yourselves having or being able to furnish the sllrhtest reliable information to the public of the size, color or conversion value of the chips that were to be used in the game in which you Invited them and your own members to participate.

Unfortunately not many rulea have yet been prescribed for the game but this happens to be a violation of the law that Is being permitted to be played, thanks to the non-action of Congress and of our State Legislature which share the responsibility of allowing It to be riaved at all. Until the game, as now belw plVred. Is stopped by constructive, iVrHlation that will convert your 1.x-K ftom i gambling hall Into the rrMt security market that It should be. nd win be when placed under proper regulation, sll the chips 5sed ESS hatfe their identification marks and redemption value plainly Str7ndfn defte'te ftlve agreement riilna the terms of the proponed merger, if that event shall come to pass, and "cation ed with net! In? lonr inc "rknl, vm- lr and showing the basis on which this Stock is to be l-sued. you have no right to authorise public dealings In It.

for th. rlmbllw and manipulation which maV'tVSrekfter follow-for which un-happily. deterrent has yet been pre-iE (Jlcongress and the State Legislature are responsible, but at this stage of the game you have plain th meagre Inadequate law there Is on the subject. If th many reputable brokers and thev are In the vast majority would but realise their own best Interests they would hasten the day of Governmental regulation that Is soon tp come without their aid and that would Inspire public confidence where there Is now naught but doubt and suspicion, that arc, alas, only too well Justified by performances of the character that have been exposed. Very truly yours.

City Island last night bore the appearance of a war-wrecked city. The storm had. damaged the electric light ing system so that Uia laiana was in darkness except for the Illumination from all lamps.

As Tast ai the inquiry could be nwercd.

usually with a sentence that there waa FERRIS WHEEL Nearly Waters; Jtiunareas or Boats no information, the inquirer passed out of the building and another took his place in the line. Early this morning the police boat John F. Hylan bad Joined the four police launches searching for bodies and their searchlights could be seen sweeping that part of the 8dind and Pelham Bay. Tha boats picked up many hats and other floating debris which might lead to Identification of those reported' missing. Many overturned boats, most of them floating bottom upward, were seen and some of them were recovered.

The storm struck City Island unex- pectedly and with terrific force. One! of the favorite Sunday pleasure resorts of the city, nearly a thousand small boats. mostly skiffs and eanoes, were floating on the Sound, Eastchester, Bay and Hunter's Bay; which encircle the Island. The frail craft, loaded with men. women and children, were, swept aside or overturned as chessmen are swept by the hand from the chessboard.

It was estimated that at least 200 of the craft were upset at the first blast of the squall and their occupants throws Into the water. The number of fatalities would have been far greater if It had not been for the crews of the two stations of the United States Volunteer Lifs-sartng Corps on City Island and Hunter's Island and the members of the City Is-landr Metropolitan.

these men put out. frequently at great personal risk, and rescued hundreds of persona. The story or these rescues will never be told In full.
