14 JAPANESE WANT PANAMA CANAL FREE OF. FORTS Minority Party Asks That American Questions Be Discussed at Parley Toklo. Sept. 19. Japan shdcT insist in discussing at the Washington conference late this autumn not only questions regarding the Far East, but also matters affecting the American coast, including Mexico and also Australia, says Viscount Takaaki Kato, president of the Kensei Kai, or opposition party, in a statement issued here.

The withdrawal of fortifications from all islands In the Pacific, the neutralization of the Panama Canal, the removal of limitations on coastwise trade throughout the world and the settlement of racial discrimination on the principle of the co existence of mankind and the spirit of justice and humanity should be included in Japan's proposals at the conference in the opinion of the national policy investigation association. This body was organized to educate the public concerning the conference. WHERE THEY WILL VOTE New Cumberland. Sept. 19.

The voters of the first precenct will will cast their ballots at to morrow's primary, at the Cumberland Theater on Market street. Those of the second precinct wiir vote at the hose house on Fourth street. MONDAY EVENING, I. ttARRISBURG TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 19, 1921. COTTON PRICES REBOUND, WHEAT OPTIONS UP, TOO By STUART P.

WEST iSpecial Dispatch to the Harrisburg Telegraph. Copyrighted) By Consolidated Press Wall Street, New York. Sept. 19. It seemed to be the judgment expressed in all the market to day that the price movement at the close of last week had not been fairly representative of the true state of things.

The reaction had" evidently been carried too far In the cast of cotton. While the rise of a week ago had outstripped the manufac Hiring demand, and on this ground logically checked, the subsequent decline appeared to be rather losing count of the further impairment in the cotton condition since the first of the month, which is almost certain to show in another and still more sensational estimate of I snortage in the government report next week. Consequently, cotton prices rebounded rather sharply this morning, and wheat options, which all along had been inclined to take their cue from cotton, had a sinii lar improvement. Stocks were more irregular. Steel i shares were bid up rapidly at the start on the encouragement afforded by the over Sunday dispatches from Pittsburgh and the Middle West, whicbs emphasized the reports of the steel trade improvement which i were reaching Wall Street all last I week.

Steel common was the leader i of the group, but the independent steel stocks scarcely behind. While the buying movtunent was going on in this quarter otner industrials rallied a point or so. But the advance was by no means general, and there were absolutely no indications of any such broadening of interest as would have suggested a sustained swing upward. Trading, in fact, showed a dwindling interest, and by comparison of a week ago was very dull, and ever more entirely professional. It was of some significance that railway shares were not a bit affected by the strike vote of the shopmen.

For the railway men to declare enthusiastically for a walkout is one thing, and for the shrewd brotherhood heads to finally uphold such action, is quite a different thing. These union leaders know very well that they would be righting not only against the carriers, but against the government as represented by the Labor Board. They know that wages have been reduced in almost every other line, and that to claim that rail employe should be the one class exempt from the natural law, would be unreasonable and would antagonize sound public opinion. That under these circumstances to which might be added the enormous unemployment total a railway strike coul succeed is quite out of the question, and the union chiefs would be the first to perceive this. TWO HELD FOR BANK HOLDUP Melvin Erford and Earl Adair to Be Tried Next Month on Enola Charge Carlisle, Sept.

19. Charged with attempting to rob the Peoples Bank, of Enola, on August 19, Melvin Erford and Earl Adair, were arraigned before Justice of the Peace John L. Boyer on Saturday afternoon for a preliminary hearing and were held for court for $1,500 bail apiece. H. M.

Hoover, the cashier of the bank, identified Erford as the man who entered the bank about closing time on August 19. and ordered him to throw up his hands. There was no doubt in the mind of the cashier as he recited the story of the attempted robbery, police think. James Robinson, Pitt street, Enola, stated that Adair was driving the car, which was halted by an obstruction across the road not far from the bank shortly after the attempted robbery took place. The case will come up in the October term of court, it was stated by District Attorney Merrill P.

Hummel. Scott S. Leiby. of Harrisburg, appeared as attorney for the bank, while Attorney Cramer, of Carlisle, was counsel for Adair and Erford. POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT POIJTICAL ADVERTISEMENT NO CHANCE FOR IRISH TO SET UP REPUBLIC Lloyd George Definitely Asserts Sinn Fein May Not Withdraw Dublin, Sept 19.

Kamon De Va lera may call the Dall Eireann into session to deliberate on the situation brought about by the latest note sent to Dublin by Prime Minister Lloyd ueorge. mis communication was received yesterday at an hour that prevented the Irish republican cab inet from considering it before to day. Readiness to meet Mr. De Valera or other delegates from the Sinn Fein "in the capacity of the chosen spokesmen for southern Ireland" was expressed by the Prime Minister, but he refused to confer with them as "representatives of a sovereign and independent state." Liloyd Ueorge declared that the section of the Sinn Fein note dispatched on September 12 which was construed as placing the Irish delegates on a par with envoys trom a power must be withdrawn before a conference was possible. He pointed out that when Mr.

De Valera went to London to begin conversations as to a basis for settlement of the Irish problem he was received as the "chosen leader of the great majority southern Ireland and that Mr. De Valera accepted this designation. After Mr. De Valera on Saturday dispatched a telegram to Mr. Lloyd George stating that the Sinn Fein had accepted the Prime Minister's invitation to the Inverness confer ence but had merely detailed the position he and his colleagues were maintaining, it was believed the way nad been prepared for a continuation of the negotiations with the British government.

BESSIE BARRISCALE IX "THE SKIRT" Miss Bessie Barriscale. whose svm pathetic treatment of the role of the little Hawaiian girl in "The Bird of raraaise," is an ineradicable impression of charm, symphony and effectiveness, has been reclaimed by the dramatic stage and will appear at the Orpheum on Wednesday evening in "The Skirt," a breezy comedy of the western country by Howard Hickman, her former picture director. She is supported by a cast of exceptional merit.

The Skirt" was written especially for Miss Barriscale, who is given the role of Betty Price, known to her school chums by the nickname of faoo. Bob bets a chum $100 and a live pound box of candy that she can masquerade as a boy and get away wicn it ana it is agreed that the scene of the masquerade shall be the ranch of the brother of one of the chums in Arizona. The fact that the brother has long been in love with Betty does not detract from the in teresting situations that ensue. The arrival of "Bob" at the ranch starts with frolic. The only one whom she manages to deceive is herself, even the Chinese cook is wise in a minute, while the audience, also in on tho joke, sit back and waits for develop ments, rneexpenences of "Bob" are many and varied from his introduction to the mysteries of the great American game of poker to the staging, of a fake hold up, and from learning to roll her own to the busting of a broncho The scenes are pictures and effpei tive, from the ranch house to the colorful Red Dog Saloon, a necessary adjunct to any established frontier settlement' in the old days when cowboys might be seen outside of a movie theater Miss Barriscale's masaueradiner ten derfoot cowboy is a most bewitching picture ana tne author' has contrived a series of most amusing situations, flanked by four acts of bristling and sparkling dialog.
