. - [RMALDPRESSONOFREREIBTAM January =z , Sale Washington, Jan. 13.—Notification tha¥ the Japanese commanding officer at Viad- ivostok had given orders that hereafter sentries must not challenge Americans, 1 - i and the formal expression of regret by i the Japanese government, went far today towards adjusting the situation which has arisen over the fatal shooting by a Japanese soldicr at that port of Lieuten- ant W. H. Langdon of the cruiser Albany. The action of the Viadivostok com- mander, General Oi, was reported to the navy department by Admiral Gleaves, commander-in-chief of the Asiatic fleet, who was on his way to Vladivostok to conduct a personal Investigation. The admiral added that the report had been sent to him by radio and that in view of 6 developments he had abandoned his trip Z of inquiry. Ambassador Shidehara of Japan called upon Acting Secretary of State Davis late today\artl expressed the Geep regres of his government that such an incident should have occusred. Ea¥lier he had re- ceived from the Japanese foreign office a version of the shooting which differed \ from an earlier and equally offiical ver- sion issued in Tokio in_that the embaksy's account agreed with ~Lieutenant Lang- don’s ante-mortum statement that the sentry was the first to fire. The attitude of the Japanese govern- ment was also indicated in the communi- cation to Admiral Gleaves, which said that high officials of the Japanese force had expressed their sorrow and regret. The sentry, who shot the American when he was returning to his ship, was characterized in the communication for- warded to Admiral Gleaves as “very ig- norant,” and in one of the messages re- ceived by Ambassador Shidehara it was stated he already had been placed under arrest and would be tried by courtmar- tial. the sentry stepped back a couple of papes i and presented his bayonet. The offiper 1 turned to proceed on his wsy. The sén- H try called to him in Japanese to stop, ané ' when the order was disregarded, he fifld ! Langdon turnéd upon the sentry and twice at him with his revolver-and tf collapsed.” E Another despatch received at the @m- bassy states that the Japarese govefn- ment and people are “greatly concerned.” adding that the Japanese authorities Bad lost no time in expressing their regref “The Japanese commandant at Viadi vostok called personally upon the captaie of the Albany,” the despaich continwed “to express this sentiment, and’ the Jhp- anese minister of war also sent a’ cable- gram to the captain of the ship expréss- ing sympathy ‘with the family of'the ¥ic- Um of the sheoting.” After advising the embassy, sentry had be arrested and would be tried, the despdich of the Japarese gov- ernment to the embassy concluded: “The public of Japan and the authbri. tjes express their deep regret over the ocurrence and .ope that the unhappy event will not affect the good understand- ing which exists between the two nations NOANK At the January meeting of Washinglon council, No. 7, Jr. O.

Most of the producers there have no way of marketing their milk now, and it is said that they are feeding it out to their stock. Monday morning last Mr. Bertsch, who for many years has taken the milk to Willimantie, whence it is shipped to Mr. Viaal in Providence, returned without any cans for Tuesday’s milk, so consequently he did not make a trip Tuesday. During the morning, however, a few empty cans were sent here by Clayton Hunt's school truck. The milk producers have applied to the Providence Dairy company, which is an- other firm, to take their supply of milk, but so far no arrangements have becn made. . The Saxton B. L.
