REPLY TODAY REQUESTED Governor Carlson, Republican, Fa vored by J. Frank Hanly for Re election in Colorado Utah Is to Be Toured Next. GRAND JUNCTION. Colo., Sept. 27. A second attempt was made tonight by the Prohibition National campaigners to gret President Wilson oa record as to his stand on the liquor question. Having failed to receive a reply from the President to a telegram sent a week ago from San Francisco, to the "White House, calling his attention to the fact that California wets were quoting him as being opposed to prohi bition, anothe$F telegram signed by Oliver "W. Stewart, chairman of the dry campaign committee, was addressed to the Executive tonijrht at Shadow Lawn. It repeated that the California wets were using his name to aid them in their fight, called his attention to the first telegram and added that an answer could reach the prohibition train at Ogden any time tomorrow. "The prohibition oartv train now is in Colorado, where a state-wide fight is on," the telegram said. "We will make other states where contests are pending. Hope you will authorize us to deny claims of saloon advocates that you are opposed to state-wide prohibi tion. " Both J. Frank Hanly and Ira Land rith. the Prohibition National candi dates, on their trip through Northwest ern Colorado today urged Prohibition ists to center their fire this Fall on a proposed amendment declaring beer is non-intoxicating and, therefore, it is no violation of the present dry laws to sell it. At Salida, in an address. Mr. Hanly said that if he were voting in Colorado this Fall he would vote for Governor Carlson, Republican, to suc ceed himself.

While it is admitted that the pres ent differences probably have put off the proposed $15,000,000 Japanese loan to China, it ts said that Japan will take her share In the $50,000,000 loan proposed by the foreign minister to the group of English, French, Russian, Japanese and American bankers. Japan is said to be mors than able to take her share of this loan because of the profits on munitions sold to Russia. Japanese policy toward the proposed trade war after the European war, will be outlined here Friday with the visit of Baron Sakatani, who is just back from the recent allied economic conference at Paris. The Baron will be entertained at lunch by James Brown Scott, secretary of the Carnegie Peace Endowment, and at dinner by Tokiohi Tanaka, the Japanese charge. Japan is said to be deeply interested in the proposed trade war, as her par ticipation in it is counted on to re move serious competition in China, her vital trade field. The Pacific Islands, north of the Equator, including the Caroline and Marshall groups, which were seized from Germany early in the war, will be awarded to Japan, according to the embassy view, at the peace conference. Already, as cable dispatches have shown, Japanese schools, banks, and steamship lines have been established there, and every effort made to make them part of the island empire. I CLOSED DOOR DESIRE DENIED Japanese Visitors Say Open Competi tion in Cliina Is Not Feared. KEW YORK. Sept. 27. That the open door in China is for the best in terest of Japan, Just as a peaceful Mexico with thriving trade is to the interest of the United States was the declaration of Dr. T. Iyenaga here to day at the luncheon of the Japan So ciety to Baron Sakatani, former Jap anese Minister of Finance and repre sentative of Japan at the recent eco nomic conference of the allies. Dr. Iyenaga. lecturer and publicist, said the case of Mexico in respect to the United States, while not exactly parallel to that of China and Japan, was some what similar. Baron Sakatani, who spoke briefly, expressed the hope that America and Japan "will remain, as they have been for the last 60 years, fast friends and co-operate in the development of com merce and resources in the regions bordering on the Pacific." Following him. Dr. Iyenaga declared that he could speak more freely. He said he was not hampered in public utterance by being on a government mission as was Baron Sakatani. "Japan has pledged herself to keep China's door open," Dr. Iyenaga said. "Will she ever violate that pledge? I believe not. Not only do International ethics demand good faith, but the open door is in fact a consonance with what Japan's self interest dictates. She has nothing to fear from an open competi tion, every advantage except capital being on Japan's side. The closing of Chinas door would spell disaster to Japanese commerce and industry." Dr. Iyenaga s remarks were heartily applauded. At the conclusion of the speaking Baron Sakatani was elected a life member of the Japan Society. RUmQR STIRS BERLIN Germany Gets Report of Bre men's Arrival in America. CRAFT'S CAPTAIN PRAISED Undersea Merchantman, However, Is Still Overdue, Although Early Appearance at New London Is Considered Possible. QUESTION TO BE REOPENED (Continued From First Pace.) CAR MEN WANT MORE PAY Adamson Law, Not Including; All Workers, Causes Dissatisfaction. ST. PAUL, Sept. 27. Leaders of the Brotherhood of Railroad Car Men in the Northwest met in St. Paul today to discuss a plan to demand higher wages from the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific, the Canadian Pacific and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail roads and recognition of the union by the Great Northern. The car men. it is said, were disgruntled over the pass age of the Adamson law, providing an eight-hour day for trainmen, as they contend that the law did not include them. Some of the leaders of the car men predict that a strike will ensue if the demands to be formulated at the meet ing should not be granted. BERLIN, via London, Sept. 27. Ber lin newspapers today are acclaiming enthusiastically the arrival of the Ger man submarine Breman at New London. The Connecticut town has jumped to a point of prime interest, and the news papers have found it necessary to de scribe its situation by the aid of maps. They also are dilating on the history of the town. The news of the Bremen relieves the protracted tension, which had grown intense as the expected arrival of the submarine was delayed from week to week. Apparently authentic rumors had been in circulation that the Bremen sailed early; in August. Hence fears were entertained in some quarters that something had gone wrong with her and the way for the establishment of a regular submarine service between Germany and the United States, and as answering the alleged taunt of Ger many's enemies when the submarine Deutschland returned home from her voyage overseas, "You can't do it aA.ll the newspapers today print a sketch of Captain Schwartzkopff, cap tain of the Bremen, who was for a long time in the service of the North Ger man Lloyd Steamship Company. He served for years on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse and distinguished himself in rescue work in the Hoboken pier fire in 1900. Captain Schwartz kopff was the first officer of the Prinz Friedrich. W ilhelm when the war broke out. There have been many reports of the expected arrival of the merchant sub marine Bremen at various ports on the Atlantic Coast recently, but up to the present she has not docked in any of them. The announcement of her ar rival printed in Berlin probably re sulted from one of tnese many prema ture reports reaching the German cap itaL New London, Baltimore and Norfolk have been reported as the destination of the Bremen. Recently there has been much activity in New London by officials of the Eastern Forwarding Company, American agents for the Ger man merchant submarines. A report from Westerly. R. I., September 25, said a tug had left to meet a German sub marine which was on the way to New London. The Berlin dispatch apparently is confirmatory of the reports that the Bremen had sailed for the United States and that she is now due here. explained, are regarded as , Japan's third and. final step in her rise to statehood, the first two being the abolition of extra territoriality, and the negotiation of commercial equality treaties. The embassy believes the renewed negotiations will be most friendly in character, officials declaring good re lations with this country are looked upon as combining with Japan's vital interests in China and the alliance with England to form the three car dinal points of Japanese foreign pol icy. Japan's present strained rela tions with China regarding the Cheng Chiatua clash, the embassy, expects to ROUND-UP MAY RUN 4 DAYS Pendleton Considers Extra Show to Eliminate Contestants.

Pittsburg Republicans Hold Torch light Parade Before Nominee.' Declaration Made That Party Is Reunited. PITTSBURG. Sept. 27. Charles E. Hughes went through the big steel dis trict of Pittsburg today, addressed thousands of workingmen who left their work to hear him, returned to the city tonight covered with dust, and ended the first day of his campaign in Penn eylvania with a speech in the music hall of the Pittsburg Exposition. The chief theme in all of Mr. Hughes' addresses today was therotective tar iff. To an audience of workmen he declared that present conditions of prosperity would not endure when Eu rope would be at peace unless the Unit ed States should adopt a protective tariff. To an audience that jammed the music hall he repeated this state ment tonight. Administration Is Aasatled. In his night address he also dwelt at length upon his views on the Adamson bill, the Administration's policy toward Mexico, the shipping bill, and what he termed extravagant claims made by the Administration for having aided business. Mr. Hughes spoke from a platform upon which were seated Progressive and Republican leaders who have op posed each other in the state during the last four years. On his way here from Cleveland he was met and escort ed to this city by Senators Oliver and Penrose, and William Flinn, the latter a former Progressive leader. These, with Alexander P. Moore, and other Progressive and Republican leaders, sat with him on the platform tonight. In his speech Mr. Hughes emphasized his belief that the Republican party was reunited. Progressive Policies Affirmed. "The breach of recent years has been healed." he said, "and our Na tional alms at this time are conceived to be of such transcendent importance that we know of no difference and are not allowing any former disagree ments to impair our unity of effort. I should take little pleasure in my can didacy if I did not think that the re united Republican party was a grat liberal party, the party of progress. We are truly progressive, sanely pro gressive, looking forward to the so lution of important problems that this new country will place before us." Mr. Hughes left at midnight for Trenton, N. J., where he will speak to morrow morning and Saratoga Springs, N. Y., where he will deliver an address tomorrow night. Workers Hear Addresses. During the afternoon Mr. Hughes motored over dusty roads into the heart of the steel-making district. He visited Homestead, Duquesne, McKees port. Wilinerdirvg and East Pittsburg addressing audiences of blue-jeaned mill workers at every stop. To these audiences the nominee spoke chiefly of the protective tariff. At one big plant the 7500 workers were given an hour off on full time to hear him. The managers of this tour esti mated that it cost this company $2000 in wages to have Mr. Hughes visit their plant. After the long motor trip, Mr. Hughes reviewed a big parade of Republicans tonight. They marched past his hotel six and eight abreast, white umbrellas over their heads, torches lighted and red fire blazing. Nearly an hour was required for the parade to pass. With scant time for dinner, the nominee hur ried away to the meeting, which was held in Exposition Hall. There he found an audience that packed the building and brimmed over into the street.
