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."

MHHED BDY TO GET S5000
DAMAGE . SUIT AGAINST TILE
COXCERX IS SETTLED.
$15,000 Judgment Changed After
Defendants Assert Inability
to Prevent Bankruptcy.
A J15.0P0 judgment received by John
K. Melvin, a boy who was badly in
jured by the explosion of a dynamite
cap which he found while playing near
a powder house of the Standard Brick
& Tile company, was settled for $5000
in a (stipulation approved by Presiding
Judge Stapleton yesterday and agreed
upon by the attorneys for the boy and
for the brick and tile concern which
was defendant in a recent suit.
It is set forth in the approval order
that following a two-day argument on
a motion for a new trial, which was
denied, the corporation notified the
plaintiff that it was insolvent and could
not pay judgment, and further that if
pressed it would resort to the bank
ruptcy court. Attorneys Collier & Col
lier, representing the child, investi
gated the matter and found that if
bankruptcy proceedings were forced,
only a small amount would be recov
ered. A stipulation was then agreed
upon settling for $5000 of which $1250
was paid in cash and the remainder
paid in notes secured by a mortgage.
As the attorneys for the boy handled
the case on a contingency basis noth
ing if the suit was lost, 25 per cent of
the amount recovered if settled out of
court, and 40 per cent of the amount
recovered by a trial of the case a fee
of $2000 was allowed by the court.

the troops toward him, says the de

pedition against Berlin, but he refused
to listen to my recommendation that
he abdicate. Had the general staff
told him November 8. as it did Novem

BRADLEY'S END ACCIDENT
COROXER'S JURY MAKES FIND
IKG IX ROSEBURG CASE.
Theories of Suicide and Foul Play
Rejected Powder Burns
Found on Neck.
ROSEBURG, Or., Aug. 6. (Special.)
That Ai I. 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. Virtually all the
testimony given tended to show that
Bradley was in the best of spirits when
he jumped into his automobile shortly
after 7 o'clock last evening and started
for the suburbs after first stopping at
his home, where he obtained the rifle.
While the body was some feet from
the gun. the shot that took his life
penetrated the throat, severed the jug
ular vein, fractured the spinal column
and came out on the left at the base
of the brain. Bathers In the river be
low where the accident occurred heard
two shots, and two empty shells were
found. One shot is believed to have
been fired at some water fowl, and the
second just a few moments after, as
Mr. Bradley started toward his car,
which stood on the grade near.
Slight powder burns were found
where the bullet entered the neck.
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.
