MORRIS, BACK, SAYS Ambassador to Japan, Arriving at Boston, Is Indignant "at Reports COMING TO SEE FAMILY HERE Oil a Staff Corrrtpona'ent Boston,. June 1. Rolnnd S. Morris, ambassador to '.Tapan and former chair man ot the Pennsylvania state Demo cratic committee, today cmphntleally denied dispatches from Toklo that he contemplated resigning. The nmbassador. who is on his way tp his home In Philadelphia. Is a guest Bt the Coplcv pIllza Hotel. He was-ln- dlgnnnt when told that cables from Japau stated that he was hurrying to Wnshlngton to present his resignation to the President in view of the fact that . , , , had not been informed of the with drawal or American troops irom wocrin. It was said in the cables that Mr. Morris had visited -Kolchak, the Inde pendent Russian leader, nnd that the ambassador had been the President's closest advisor on Siberian and Russian affairs, but that a change had taken nlace In Washington' and that the Rus- Lslan question was being handled with out the knowledge ot tne American am bassador to Japan. Reports Absolutely False, He Says "It is absolutely false,?' said Mr. Morris-today. "While' I cannot make a statement regarding conditions In Si beria ''and the Far East until I have reported to the State, Department, you may say that the reports from Toklo are not true.." , '.'., ... "Then .you do not Intend .to resign?" "Absolutely not," .. ,. - 'y.jf-'And' you fxp'ecr'tft return, ito-your post in Japan?" "I. certainly do."

In fact, reports from Toklo for sev eral months have stntcd that-the nm bassador Intended returning to the United States to further the candidacy of Mr. Palmer. Mr. Morris was averso to discussing this situation. To Seek Leave of Absenco "Js it true, Mr. Morris, thnt" you have returned to, enter the presidential race in behalf of. Attorney General Palmer.?" he was asked. "I cannot answer nt this time. I am headed for Washington, where I ex pect to make application for a two months' leave. If that Is granted I canit say what my plans will be." Mr. Morris, however, intimated fur ther that he would be In cloie touch with the situation and would see Mr. Palmer as soon as ho reached Washing ton. "The real reason for my returning," he continued, "Is to see my children nnd my mother Iu Philadelphia. I ex pect to reach Philadelphia either Fri day or Saturday. I came to Boston first that I might be with my children. I have not seen my son for three years. He is in school at West Newton. To morrow I shall go to Waterbury to see my daughter, who Is In school there, and then X shall ,mnke for Philadelphia. I am very eager to see my friends after this long absence." U. 8. and Japan Are Friendly "Will you make a statement regard ing the relations between Japan and the United States?" "While I cannot discuss interna tional politics or the Siberian situation, I may say that tho relationship between Japan nnd this country arc most cor dial. In fact, never has there been such a fine and friendly feeling between the nations. I am happy to say this." Ambassador Morris left Yokohama In May, coming to Boston by Hvay of Vancouver and Moutreal.

Incidentally the notice strikes nt a time-honored custom dating from horse car days, that allows .children under three years of age to ride free. The company wants to abolish the age limit and substitute a limit nf height thirty-one Inches no doubt based on an intricate calculation of the cubic capacity of every trolley car. Measuring Method Not Given . , Whether the measuring of child riders Is to be done with yardsticks, tape measures or measured notches on the side of the conductor's little enclosure, is not stated in the notice. Mnyor Moore nnd City Solicitor Smyth conferred today on the Rapid Transit Co.'s latest proposals. Mr. Smyth has been Instructed to safeguard the Interests of the traveling public. The height limit plan was declared absurd by- Richard Wegleln, president of Council. "Every conductor would iave to carry a tape measure or a measuring Btlck," he said. "Besides, some adult are under thirty-one Inches In height. It would only mean further annoyance to riders and I doubt If the company is serious with the proposal. The com pany .should conciliate, not antagonize. A nickel means much to people nowa days, especiully if they have small children."

Aiii-iiT uri' id ut neither free transfers nor exchanges in the delivery district between Delaware avenue, Sixteenth street, Race and Locust strcpts. Another change affecting exchange tickets is" that they will be redeemed in not ,morc than thirty dnjs after the date ifcsucd. Originally, exchange, tickets could be used nt" any time. Then their use was restricted to the date and hour punched on the tlcker.,But there was no limit on the ilateiff redemption nnd hun dreds of unused tickets found their way Into the collection boxes of chnrltnblo organizations. ' Las October, In asking the city to free Jhc company of annual payments now totalling $783,000, Thomas E. Mitten, president of the P. It. T., sug gested : "Three-cent exchanges outside of the delivery district to be changed to free transfer privileges as rapidly as prac ticable, so that all three-cent exchange tickets be entirely done away with be fore the dawning of next New Year's Day, 1020. This will give to the car rider, as a New Year's present, a sys tem freed of the three-cent exchange charge." Smyth Prepared to Act Just before the city solicitor entered the Mnyor's office for the conference, today, he said : "I have been nwny on n short vaca tion nnd I have not seen the. new P. It. T. proposition officially. I. therefore, have no opinion to advance at this time. Whatever course the Mayor decides should bo pursued I am prepared to carry out." Mr. Wegleln, discussing the situa tion, said: "I am eager to see the work on the Frnnkford elevated started, and every measure looking toward that end should be put through. As for the letter of Director Twining thnt. owing to rising costs of materials, $1,300,000 more mny bo needed to complete the Frnnkford line, I can only say all right. let us go ahead and .spend out the proposed S4, 000.000 now. We will find the balance later." "Will the question of fare increases come up in Council?" he was asked. "I tlilnk Council will take n hand." was the reply. "I recall that Councils did so some years ago when the six for a quarter tickets were proposed. A basic five-cent fare, by tjie way, doesn't always mean a real flveceiit fare. That is a question for the law yers, however." Cliveden Association to PIglit Joseph F.
