IMPERIAL' RESCRIPT ISSUED Country to Remain Part of Kmplre, but Feople to Have All Rlglitj of Japanese Proper. 'ASHIXCTOX. Aug. 21. In an Im perial rescript issued in Tokio yester day local self-government for Corea and reforms looking1 toward home rule are announced. Tfte rescript was re ceived at the Japanese embassy lie re. The military government has bee displaced and succeeded by a civil one. Tii military gendarmerie, so much uh dir criticism of late, is to be replace by a civilian police force entirely un der civilian control. A system of vil and toirn municipal governmen laed on popular suffrage also la to be undertaken. 1'ossiMy most Important of all, from the f'orean point of view, the rescript by the emperor of Japan provide that Coreans shall have the same privileges and lsal rights as Japanese. Hereto for the Japanese have been a priv ileged class. ew (OTfniMfBt Is amrd. Baron Sal to, former minister of state, and one of the best known of Japanese statesmen, became jrovernor-general, succeeding Marshal Hasegawa. The emperor's rescript follows "We have ever made It our aim to promote the security and welfare of our territory of Corea. and to extend to the native population of that terri tory as our beloved subjects a fair and impartial treatment In all respects, to the end that they may without dis tinction of persons lead their lives In peace and In contentment. We are persuaded that the stage of develop ment at which the general situation has now arrived calls for certain re forms In the administrative organiza tion of the government-general of Corea and we issue our imperial com mand that such reforms be put into operation. Altered Conditions ated. "The measures thus taken are solely designed to facilitate the working of administration and to secure good and enlightened government in pursuance of our settled policy and In fulfillment of the altered requirements of the country. Especially in view of the termination of the war in Europe and of rapid changes in the affairs of the world, we conMder it highly desirable that every effort should be made for the advancement of the national re sources and the well-being of the people. "We call upon all the public func tionaries concerned to exercise their best efforts In obediance to our wishes in order that a benign rule may be assured to Corea and that the people, dilixent and happy in attending to their respective vocations, may enjoy the blessings of peace and ''contribute to the growing prosperity of the coun try" j Premier Hara, in his statement, said: "Nearly ten years have elapsed since ! Corea was incorporated Into the em pire of Japan and. in view of signifi cant changes which have meanwhil presented themselves In the condition of the country, a plan of varioua re forms in the Corean administrative sys tern has for some time been engaging my attention. DUtarbasices Are Deplored. "Unfortunately In March last dfs turbances broke out In several parts of the peninsula, which for obvious reasons have retarded the introduction of the contemplated reforms. It is much to be regretted that they gave birth to. wild and baseless representa tions, some of which even went so far as to make now stories out of old In cidents antedating the annexation. "Being determined to be perfectly Just and fair in the conduct of affairs t onnected with the recent uprism the government will admit no excuse for any culprit whether he be a gov ernment official or a private citizen "Corea is united geographically with the main islands of Japan and the two peoples are closely related to each other in race, in manners and customs. and In sentiments. No distinction or inequality should be allowed to exist between them as loyal subjects of the same sovereign, politically, socially or otherwise. These consideration are understood to have invariably been kept in view of the Imperial rescript Issued at the time of the annexation, as well as in that which has just been issued. It was noted that the existing administrative system of Corea is not meant to be of a permanent and un alterable nature, but that it embodies provisional arrangements calculated to meet the passing needs of the trans. tory period until the final goal la reached. Corean Aid Solicited. "In pursuance of this policy the gov ernment is now decided to carry out -arious reforms In Corea and It la Its fixed determination to forward the progress of the country In order that a 11 differences between Corea and japan proper in matters of education. Industry and of the civil service may nnally be altogether obliterated. The government la moreover, confidently jooking forwrrd to the eventual adop tion in Corea ct a system of provincial and municipal administration similar to that In operation in Japan proper. o far aa circumstances will permit. 'or a speedy attainment of these ob jects one naturally cannot rely solely on the force of organization and ma chinery: a great deal must necessarily depend upon the efforts of the Coreans themselves toward their own uplift jnent. "i am well aware that the system of r.rta rrrerie prevailing in Corea is j being made a subject of criticism at home and abroad, but X would call at tention to the fact that the Institution originated In attempts to meet the ex igencies of the situation under the regime of residents-general and was never Intended to be placed under the control of local governors In a manner similar to that which obtains in Japan proper, except In districts where con ditions make Immediate elimination in advisable. It la not possible at this moment to make any Further announce ment on the details of the contem plated reforms which it remains for the newly appointed authorities to work out. "To sum up, however. It may be stated that Corea and Japan proper forming equally integral parts of the same empire, no distinction should in principle be made between them, and that it is the ultimate purpose of the Japanese government in due course to treat Corea as in all respects on the same footing with Japan proper. In this wise may be attained the only true object of the annexation and on these lines may be expected the per manent advance and enlightenment of the Coreans. 'I trust that the above brief observa tions may assist the public at home and abroad to arrive at a full compre hension of the true Intentions and policy of the Japanese government."

Logger Testifies Line Could Have Been Built for $33,000 a Mile Instead of $112,000. (Cont'lnurt From First Pajre.) $5,000,000 Spent in Construction a "Finest Natural Xaval Base In World." HONOLULU. T. H.. Aug. II. With Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of the sec retary of the navy, pressing; the button that flooded the structure, the great I'earl Harbor drydock waa dedicated oj secretary uanieis loaay. The Pearl Harbor dock, work on which waa begun ten years ago. rep reseats an Investment of more than $5,000,000. It is one of the largest naval dry docks In the world and will accommodate any warship now float ing the American flag. Secretary Daniels came to Hawaii with the bat tleship New Tork and the destroyers Chauncey, Dent, Philip and Waters to participate In the dedicatory cere monies. Others who assisted were Rear-Admlral William B. Fletcher, commandant of the Pearl Harbor yard. and officers of the visiting warships. Pearl Harbor, seven miles from Honolulu by railroad, has been de clared by naval experts to be the finest natural naval base in the world. The entrance to the harbor from the open sea is a little more than 60 yards wide, the channel, or canal, having been dredged In the shallow coral. The harbor is divided into three na tural hays, or lochs, with anchorage sufficient for the entire American navy. The first contract for a drydock at Pearl Harbor was awarded ten years and was for $1,750,000, the dock to be J0 by 90 feet, much too small o take modern dreadnoughts. Dredg- r.g began in September, 1909, and a coffer dam was built In 1913. When the coffer dam was pumped free of water, to permit of further construction work, hydrostatic pres- ure upheaved the entire structure and eft the work of four years a mass of recKage. woric was then suspended for- two years, while engineers pre pared new plans, and was resumed In anuary,' 1915. To make a foundation hat would withstand the pressure, pll- ng was driven into the mud and coral. I filled In with rock, and 16 gigantic pontoons, each containing- 3000 yards of concrete, were floated into position and sunk. Concrete and granite were ueed In the construction of the floor and walls of the dock. It is estimated the struc ture contains ISO. 000 cubic yards of concrete. The drydock is 1029 feet long, on the inside. 100 feet wide on the floor, with receding walls, and has 35-foot sills. When a warship is floated into the dock, four 54-inch and two 15-inch electrically driven pumps will empty the basin In two hours. Surrounding the dock are railroad tracks for traveling cranes. AMERICANS IN GERMAN RIOT Several Civilians Hurt; V. S. Sailors Escape Injury. COPENHAGEN. Aug. 21. Collisions between German and American sailors on Tuesday at Neufahrwasser resulted in the wounding of several civilians and one German seaman, according to Danzig dispatches received here today. Neufahrwasser is a seaport four miles north of Danzig. The disorders grew out of a quarrel In a dancehail Monday night, according to tnese dispatches. On Tuesday, seamen on leave from the German cruiser Frankfort came to blows with American sailors from the destroyer Hale, and it is said civilians also attacked the Americans. The Americans, supported by French seamen from the destroyer Claymore, charged the crowds. Shots are said to have been fired from the Claymore, wounding four Germans slightly. frontier guards dispersed the crowds and the Americans and the French re turned, to their ships. was yet nead or spruce production, was to the effect that he had conferred with the president of the Milwaukee rail road and other officials and engineers or mat company, at a conference held in Seattle, and that he had then altered his opinion with regard to the Lake Crescent route and had definitely de cided upon the route via Pysht river.

Lincoln Connty Operations Bared That he and other Washington log gers, convinced that the Seims-Cary-H. - AerDaugn company w-as not repre sentatlve of the logging Industry of me nortnwest, organized the Aircraft Lumber company, and procured a con. tract with the government, not the spruce corporation, to cut spruce on the Blodgett tract in Lincoln countv. Oregon, was a portion of the testimony of John K. Frost, prominent Seattle logger. He testified that the contract was for cost plus $20, and that $20 represented the entire profit which he and his associates expected to derive from their operations in Lincoln coun ty. The armistice was signed before their work was In swing. Pressed for an explanation of their generous offer to the government, the witness said: Generous Offer Explained. "Real loggers had been given no chance and had been unfairly treated. we were animated by a feeling of pa triotism and a desire to help, and, per- naps. 10 save ourselves the strain that might be cast upon the logging indus try through the mismanagement and extravagance of the Seims-Cary com pany and Warren Spruce company. We wanted to demonstrate to the northwest and the world that spruce could be put on the market at a reasonable cost." . The witness said that he had nre- viously attempted to secure a spruce contract through General Disque and had been unsuccessful. He had then Deen ottered a sub-contract bv the beims-cary-H. S. Kerbaugh company. At tnis point Chairman Frear asked what his objection had been. I didn't want to make money bad enough to be mixed un with the thlnes I thought were going on," he replied. Dlaqne's Change Costa Thousands. In 1891. testified Mr. Frost, he had represented Clallam county in tax liti- anon witn logging companies, and ad then familiarized himself with con- mons in the spruce section, with nar ticular reference to the estimated cost I railroads to bring but the timber. Allowing for marked increases In construction cost, with one Jump of U3 per cent since 1916. and based upon the original estimates procured by him, Mr. Frost testified that adequate log ging roads over easy grades could be built to Lake Pleasant via the Pysht river route at a cost of from $21,000 to $33,000 per mile. That this route would approximate that which General Disaue had declined to take was the further purport of his testimony. Chairman Frear questioned Colonel Stearns sharply about the contracts whereby private loggers are permitted to pay rental for the use of govern ment roads to get their timber out, and declared that such a policy consistently followed would result In deforestation. Soldier Allotment Held Fair. To the implication that favoritism had been shown in the allotment of sol dier labor to the Seims-Cary-H. S. Ker baugh corporation. Colonel Stearns an swered that men had been fairly al lotted to the various camps, their num ber being fixed by percentage of pro duction and by an Inquiry into the I real needs of the operator. Ho cited several companies which had been ma terially aided by soldier labor, and de clared that the 4000 soldiers sent to the Seims-Cary projects was not a dis proportionate number when It is con sidered that their operations Included logging, milling and railroad construe tion. An open breach developed In the com mittee during the forenoon hearing. when Representative Clarence F. Lea, of California, democratic member of the body, took heated exception to the nature of the examination conducted by Chairman Frear and classified the entire proceeding as outrageous. Under constant fire of hostile questions. Colo nel Stearns had retained his equanim ity, but Committeeman Lea at length interposed an objection. Chairman's Conduct Attacked. I want to state now," declared Rep resentative Lea. "that I disapprove of the manner in which this investigation Is conducted. I 'desire to protest against this outrageous manner of questioning this officer, who by his conduct shows that he is a gentleman, desirous only of telling the truth. If it continues I shall tender my resignation and go before congress to brand it as such." Chairman Frear responded with equal vengeance, reminding the com mittee that he had offered his resigna. lion before leaving Washington, after having been told that an attempt would be made to withhold facts in the spruce inquiry. The resignation was not ac cepted, he said, and the chairman of the democratic committee had assured him that the investigation was to be in every sense a thorough one. Move to Bory Facta Charged "In every hearing held by us," it was charged, "the democratic member has cross-examined the witness, a pro ceeding which is entirely without precedent m inquiries of this nature. In the Hughes investigation the attorney-general sat at the elbow of the democratic member of this committee. I say that in this-hearing from the start there has been a purpose to cover up, and this member does not propose to stand for It." To this Representative Lea replied that the "browbeating" to which the witness had been subjected had forced him, in the interest of fairness, to cross examine. "The witness has injected his own personality and his own Judgment into the answers." retorted the chairman. "It is necessary to ask for yes' or 'no,' and to get those answers. This com mittee is going to get the facts, if not here then elsewhere. "We are not here to cover up, and if so, my resignation would go back tomorrow." parted from the rules of courtesy. Quite formally he referred to his colleague as "the gentleman from California." "We cannot, however," he contended, "permit the witness to enter upon a dissertation instead of answering the question. Salient features of the morning ses sion were the implications that Great Britain had been worsted in the recent settlement for airplane stock furnished by the spruce corporation, and that Colonel Stearns Is Wholly without of ficial authority to approve contracts with, private logging operators for the use of government-built roads. Salvage Basis Criticised. It was developed that, while Colonel Stearns had told the committee that the properties of the spruce corpora tion in Washington and Oregon, aggre gating $23,285,581, according to the report of the controller dated Febru ary 15, 1919, are to be held for disposal at approximately reproduction cost, the settlement with England had been made on a. salvage basis of approxi mately 10 per cent. oGreat Britain, as one of the stockholders in the opera tions, when settling its bill for spruce and fir furnished, was entitled to a pro rata share of the salvage. .Both Chairman Frear and Represen tative Magee charged that England had been unfairly dealt with in the settlement for $14,006,000 with a sal vage basis of 10 per cent, and desired to know whether arrangements for a further settlement had been made in the event the property sells at repro duction cost. Colonel Stearns Explains. To these questions, which came in rapid and confusing sequence, Colonel Stearns answered that the estimate of salvage values was made when Great Britain had pressed for a settlement of the spruce partnership and state ment, and that the -controller and fi nancial officers of the spruce corpora tion had compiled the figures. He added that a British officer. CaDtain Thompson, had visited headquarters in Portland and had gone exhaustively into the records of spruce production and properties before the settlement was made. With a total cost valuation of $23.- 285.581, the salvage valuation of the spruce properties in the February esti mate was placed at $3,908,000. though Colonel Stearns stated that this esti mate was compiled under pressure at a time when the property had not been catalogued and assembled, and when the officers of the spruce division were not Jn a position to attain definite figures. He said that he would be gratified to see Great Britain receive further payment, when final dis posal Is made of the properties, and declared that British officials are cog nizant of the nature of affairs under which the original settlement was made. Officer Admits Baals. 'I would rather see the entire prop erty and railroads scrapped and burned up than given to any private operator at the expense of the government, flashed Colonel Stearns. Close questioning forced Colonel Stearns to admit that the previous estimate of $10,000,000 cost to America as the total balance for spruce opera tions was based upon the supposition that the property will be salvaged at reproduction cost and upon a settle ment with Italy and France similar to that effected with Great Britain. "On a basis that places a $23,000,000 valuation upon the original property, and at a loss of 20 per cent, this set tlement with England was made," com mented Chairman Frear. "Do you think that was honest and square with the government you were doing business with?" "It was at that time," replied the witness. The subcommittee will resume its Investigation -tomorrow morning when prominent loggers will be called to testify, either with regard to their connection with, spruce production, or with respect to criticisms they may have to make of operations during the war. Members of the committee be lieve that the Seattle sessions will be concluded not earlier than the first of next week. WILSON ASKED TO SPEAK In President May Deliver Address Tacoma Stadium. TACOMA. Wash., Aug. 21. (Specini.) Possibility of President Wilson visit ing Tacoma and speaking in the Sta dium at the time of the visit of the Pacific fleet was outlined today by the committees in charge of entertainment. It is said that the president still in tends to make a swing around the circle if the league of nations debate in the senate is completed. The 7500 officers and "gobs" of the fleet will be entertained at dances, barbecues, clambakes and at the theater during their stay in Tacoma. It will be an entertainment for the visitors, rather than for the civilian population. Mayor Riddell estimates that the total cost of the reception will be $20,000. On one day of their stay in Tacoma the sailors will be enter tained at Camp Lewis by the soldiers.
