4 TOE MORXIXG OREGOXIAJf, THURSDAY. AUGUST 7, 1919, WILSON IS SATISFED BY UC HIDA STATEMENT President Asserts Announce ment Clears Situation. PARIS TALK MADE PUBLIC .Executive in Formal Communication Gives Details Regarding Shan tung Agreement In France. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. President Wilson issued a formal statement to-nig-ht saying- that the -frank statement" made by Viscount Uchida. as to Japan's policy regarding Shantung, "ought to serve to remove many of the misunder standings which had begun to accumu late about this question." References in the LTchida statement as to the agreement between Japan and China in 1&15 "might be misleading' the president said, "if not commented upon in the light of what occurred in Paris." When the question of disposal of Shantung definitely was decided on at Paris. President Wilson said the Japa nese delegation in reply to a question from him said : 'The policy of Japan is to hand back the Shantung peninsula in full sovereignty to China, retaining only the economic privileges granted to Ger many and the right to establish a set tlement under the usual conditions at Tsing-Tao " Formal Statement Ixsurd. The president's statement made pub lie through the state department, fol lows: "The government of the United States has noted with the greatest in terest the frank statement made by Viscount Uchida with regard to Japan's future policy respecting Shantung. The statement ought to serve to re move many of the misunderstandings which had begun to accumulate about this question. But there are references In the statement to an agreement en tered into between Japan and China in 1915 which might be misleading, if not commented upon in the light of what occurred in Paris, when the clauses of the treaty affecting Shan tung were under discussion. I. there fore, take the liberty of supplement ing Viscount Uchida's statement with the following: "In the conference of the 30th of Anril last, where this matter was brought to a conclusion among the heads of the principal allied and as sociated powers, the Japanese dele gates. Baron Makino and Viscount Chinda, in reply to a question put by myself, declared that: Japan States Policy. "'The policy of Japan is to hand lack the Shantung peninsula in full sovereignty to China, retaining only the economic privileges granted to Germany and ?ht to establish a settlement under the usual conditions at Tsing-Tao. 'The owners of the railway will use special police only to insure security for traffic. They will be used for no other purpose. 'The police forces which will be com posed of Chinese and such Japanese instructors as the directors of the rail way may select, will be appointed by the Chinese government. "No reference was made to this policy being in any way dependent upon the execution of the agreement of 1915 to which Viscount Uchida appears to have referred. Ignited Statei In Not Compromised. "Indeprl, I felt It my duty to say that nothing that I agreed to must be con Btrud as an acquiescence on the part of the government of the United States in t he policy of the notes exchanged between China and Ja pan In 1915 and 1918; and reference was made in the discussion to the enforcement of the agreements of 1915 and 1918 only in case China failed to co-operate fully in carrying out the policy outlined in thei statement of Baron Makino and Viscount Chinda. "I have, of course, no doubt that Vis count Uchida had been apprised of all the particulars of the discussion in Paris, and I am not making this state ment with the idea of correcting his, but only to throw a fuller light of clari fication upon a situation which ought to be relieved of every shadow of ob scurity or misapprehension."

Bradley came to his death from the accidental discharge of a .32 caliber sporting rifle was the verdict arrived at by the coroner's jury at 6 o'clock this evening.

Several close friends of the dead man said that he was too careful to have been the victim of an accident, and in timate that some one may have shot him. The Jury, however, was unable to connect anyone with the tragedy, and returned a verdict of accidental shooting. The tragedy occurred just off the Pacific highway on the grade overlooking the South Umpqua and the river dam, where the body was found a few moments after the shooting by a. passing truck driver.
