Sakamoto, was not accurately reported in his alleged criticism of the personnel of the American navy, the offi cials here have concluded that even if the case was otherwise, the incident would call for no official representations on their part. As one of the officials put it, the matter would be one for the Japanese naval authorities to deal with, and they would undoubtedly do so without EK» SHOCK 01 HEAD OV MIL CRANE MOBILE, Ala., July 9.—In a rear-end collision on the Mobile and Ohio rail road near Whistler, Ala., live miles from Mobile today, 'between passenger train No. 6 and a light engine, one man was killed and two others were in jured Evans, the fireman, noticing that the train did not slow up at Whistler sta tion, crawled over to the engineer's side of the cab and discovered that Dease was unconscious.

Mader, of the United Fruit Company's steamship Admiral Farragut. which arriv P BOISE. Idaho. July 10.—The de fense in the Steunenberg murder case charged that Detective James Me- Partland had been guilty of an at tempt to manufacture testimony against Wm. D. Haywood, but was un successful in getting the basis and de tails of the charge before the court and jury. « Alva A. Swain, a newspaper,, corre spondent, who represents the Pueblo Chieftain, at Denver, was called to the stand and questioned as to a conversa tion he had with Detective McPartland in Denver last fall. Senator Borah for the State, objected to the conversa tion on the ground that no foundation had been laid for it. Clarence Darrow, for the defense, who was examining Swain, explained that the testimony was offered for the purpose of shownig that there existed conspiracy between the mine owners and the Pinkertons to secure a convic tion and execution of the prisoner. ‘McPartland approached this wit ness in an attempt to manufacture testimony.” he declared, “and I be lieve we have a right tc show it.” Judge Wood said there was nothing in the evidence that furnished proper foundation for the introduction of such testimony and sustained the State’s objection. The defense took an excep tion and, said they would later make another attempt to secure the admis sion of Swain’s testimony. Counsel for the defense are evidently counting on reaching the matter through Mc Partland himself, but it is,quite prob able that the State will not call Mc Partland as a witness. It is claimed by the defense that McPartland told Swain that he had a letter from Harry Orchard saying that when Haywood paid him for the Vin dicator job. he took him to one of the Denver banks to draw the money and that when they came out of the bank. Swain was standing at the door and saw them. It is said that Swain told McPartland that he could not remem ber the incident, whereupon McPart land Impressed him with the import ance of it as evidence and significantly urged him to recall it and become a witness in the case. Detective McPartland denies that he ever suggested anything improper to Swain. He says he got the letter de scribed by Orchard, who wrote that Swain was at the door of the bank on the day in question, there being a run on the bank, and that he believed Swain might have remembered having seen them. He says that when he went to see Swain the later said that he would not tell whether he remembered the incident or not, and asked for an other interview. McPartland declares that he there dropped the matter and did not see Swain again. Allen F. Gill, formerly master me chanic of the Tiger and Poor Mhn’s Mine, and later city engineeer of Spo kane, and his wife, Mrs. Gill, were also witnesses for the defense today and jointly related that Harry Orchard as- tempted to sell them his interest in the Hercules Mine in February and March, 1S99, which was just prior to his de parture for the Couer D'Alenes. and Mr. Gill who saw Orchard in Spokane a month before he killed Steunenberg. testified that Orchard said that it was because of Steunenberg that he lost his interests in the Hercules. Other than for the Interest and relief afford ed by the introduction of the three wit nesses named, the entire day was given over to the reading of the rest of the San Francisco depositions.

CARTER DUMPED DIM FOR GOOD THING NEW YORK, July 10.—Late today the police arrested Harry Kirkstein a telegraph operator, 22 years old, on a charge of acting with Mrs, Laura Carter, in receiving and dis posing of $5,000 stolen from the Wind sor Trust Co. by Chester B.

Postal Only One That Ever Competed NEW YORK, July 9.—Clarence Me kay, president of the Postal Telegraph Cable Co., declared today that "all this talk about the Western Union Telegraph Co and the Postal Tele' graph Cable Co. working in harmony is nonsense.” "If two companies ever competed in the United States,” he said, these two companies .are cobpeting. and the competition is fierce and bitter.” Mr. Maekay's satement was made commenting on the action of Attorney General Wm. S. Jackson, of New York, who yesterday asked a justice of the New York State Supreme court appoint a referee to secure evidence that the Western Union and Postal companies have formed a combina' tion in restraint of competition. Mr. Mackay said: “If two compan ies ever competed in the United States, these two telegraph companies are competing and always have been At times the competition is even fierce and bitter. Every merchant and manufacturer in the United States, wherever we reach, will bear witness to the truth of this state meat. ‘“fate are litigating with the West ern Union ail over the country in re gard to rights of way. In fact, the tremendous fight between the Penn sylvania Rail Road and the Western Union was due solely to the fact that we got the business away from the Western Uhion. 'The Western Union is trying to exclude us from all union depots and have just succeeded in excluding us from the Birmingham union depot which is perhaps the finest union de pot in this country at ipresent, and we intend to. take the matter into the courts to set aside the monopolistic contract between the Birmingham Union Depot Company and the West ern Union." , Mr. Mackay called attention to the cable tp Havana which the Postal Company is now laying to its At lanticr cable land lines and a new route which he said the company was about to construct through the Ne vada gold fields to the Pacific coast as evidence of that company's compe tition with the Western Union. He added: ‘We are the only company that ev er did really compete with the West ern. Union and succeeded in doing so.” ATLANTA’S TEMPERATURE BROKE SEASON'S RECORD ATLANTA, Ga., July 9.—The official thermometer at Atlanta’s weather bu reau registered 96 degrees at 2 o’clock this afternoon, the season’s record.

T., July 9.—The old Apache warrior, Geronimo, who ter rorized. the Southwest for many years with> his blood-thirsty band, while at tending . a celebration at Cache under parole, as the guest of Comanche Chief Quannah Parker, made an attempt to cross the Texas Panhandle on to New Mexico. Geronimo was missed from the In dian camp for about eight hours, and a detail Of.soldiers from Fort Sill captur ed him-several miles out of Cache yes terday. The old warrior had heard of the troubles of the Apaches in Arizona, who, according to reports, have threat- eened to go on the war path.

The fact that the Governor has withdrawn opposition to the repeal of the tax on foreign money loans and there being no objection on the part of the administration to the election of John H. Bankhead to succeed Senator Morgan, deceased, leads to the conclu sion that the session will be brief. In the Senate, Mr. Reese, of Dallas, presented a resolution providing that the State place a bronze statue of the late John T. Morgan, United States Senator, in Statuary Hall, Washington. In his message. Gov. Comer complained about the holding up of the State rail road laws by injunction In the Federal Court, pointing out that very much the same idea has been worked out in other States, especially in Iowa. He said: “Discrimination has been proven and it is a great hardship for Alabama to be forced to go through court processes on a cdse already pioneered and worked out and demonstrated.” The Governor voiced the approval of the law equalizing taxes, expecting It .to make the large lan/i, and property holder pav his share of the taxes and asserted that watered stock of railroads is being used to justify the-earning of greater dividends, these latter' on "dead” stuff which is made tp “fructify” out of noth ing. The message used strengthening the child labor law. with which, being him self a big cotton mill owner, the Governor is quite familiar. JAPANESE-AMERfCAN RELATIONS STRAINED The deep, underlying: cause of every old sore Is a bad condition of the blood. This vital fluid has become infected with some germ or poison which prevents the place from healing. This infection may be the result of an in active, sluggish condition of the system leaving the refuse matter in the body to be absorbed into tbe circulation instead of throwing it off through the usual channels of nature. Another cause is the weakening or polluting of this life-stream from hereditary taints, or from the effects of a long spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system. When the blood is in this condition a Sore cannot heal because the impurities with which the circula tion is filled are being constantly discharged into the place to irritate and inflame the tissues and further disease the surrounding flesh. The only treatment that can do any good is one that removes the cause, and for this purpose nothing equals S. S. S. It begins at the fountain head of the trouble and drives out all germs, impurities and poisons, and then the place, being supplied with rich, pure blood, heals naturally and permanently. Local ap plications assist in cleansing the place, but a cure can only be affected through a purification of the blood. Book on Sores and Ulcers and any medical advice free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA. LONDON, July 9.—The correspond ent of the Daily Telegraph at The Hague, sends in a column dispatch which purport^ to reflect the views prevailing there on £he Japanese- American situation which he declares to be more adsorbing than the confer ence itself. The correspondent says that as a resiilt of his inquiries he learns that the situation is really strained, although both governments are trying to copceal the facts. He as serts that since June 20, the question has entered upon an acute phase. Ja pan has been sending the United States extremely categorical notes stating without bitterness, but in the clearest terms the dilemma that unless Wash ington is able to control California, Ja pan will consider herself free to act directly with California. Nothing yet has been exchanged precluding a Pa cific settlement.' buE inany of the Jap anese at The Hague are of the opinion that the Japanese government ought to act without delay, and'not give Ameri ca time to utilize her vast resources and" economic potentiality, a hundred fold greater than Japan’s, to perfect warlike preparations. In an editorial article the Telegraph says it does not'identify with'the state ments of the correspondent at The Hague, believing them "to''be charged with undue dependency. At the same' time, - the- paper con tinues, they are made upon a notable authority and .they cannot be read without profound uneasiness. The Telegraph is convinced, however, that the statesmanship of both coun tries will be strong enough and the in stinct of the two great nations sane enough to hold mad chauvinism in leash, “Nevertheless,* the paper declares. It is impossible to deny the danger of the situation. ’The present peace con ference. for its opening- has created disagreement and friction tending to make worse instead of. improving the relations of the powers. The last as sembly at The Hague .was followed by great conflicts, so we can only pray that the present one may not he suc ceeded by more terrible calamities.’’ In conclusion, after a full discussion of the points of difference, the Tele graph declares it is not a color ques tion, but fundamentally an economic one. It says further:. “We trust our allies will take it at that an realize that the point of na tional honor has been accidentally caught up with the problem, but is not permanently involved in it. Any at tempt to settle the'question by arms, whatever the immediate issue, would mean sooner or. later, a.hundred years’ conflict.” PHILADELPHIA, July 9.—The execu tive committee of the Universal Peace Union, at a meeting here today, placed itself on record as opposed to- sending a fleet of warshius to the Pacific ocean. The committee adopted the following res olution: ’In view of the feeling existing in in ternational relations between Japan and the Government of the United States, we regard the proposition as reported, of sending a fleet Of battleships to the Pa cific border as unwise, inopportune and irritating, especially as the second P'ace eonfe%-nce is How fn' session at The Hague, where are assembled over 250 delegates representing 45 Governments, with a large and eminently" able delega tion from the United States, and with rep resentatives from.

PARDONS TEDDY BEARS MENACE COL. AMUR LYNCH: MOTHERLY INSTINCTS LONDON. July 9.—On the eve of his visit to Ireland. King Edward has granted a free pardon to Col. Arthur Lynch, who was convicted of high treason in 1902 for having fought in the Irish brigade on the side of the Boers in the South African War. Col. Lynch was sentenced to death for high treason in 1903. His sen tence later was commuted to impris onment for life, and in January, 1904. he was released “on license.” Lynch was born in Australia of Irish parents. After studying at Mel bourne University and Berlin Univers ity, Lynch went to Galway, where he plunged into party politics. After sus taining a defeat at the polls in the Parliamentary election of 1892 he went to London and engaged in jour nalistic work yhich he followed until the Boer war broke out. He was in strumental in raising the Irish brig ade which fought on the side of the Boers. While in Paris after his re turn from South Africa, Lynch was elected to Parliament by Galway City and returned to England with the in tention of taking his seat in the House of Commons. He was arrest ed on landing in England, and his trial, .conviction and sentence for high' treason followed. TBE BLUE AND GRAY TO MEE T AT EXPO. NORFOLK. Va., July 9.—The man agement- of the Jamestown Exposition has announced that July 16 has been decided Upon as the National Veterans’ Association the Blue and the Gray and their Sons day, and that a fitting pro gram for the day has been arranged. The meetings of the Association will be held in the convention room of the press building, the morning session lasting from 9 to 12 o’clock, and the afternoon from 3 to 7, at which time such business as the body have to transact will be disposed of.

That every American jpldier, whether he wore the blue or the gray, may, by coming in contact with each other, learn that after all they are both American citizens, and thereby prove to the world at large that is united nation that sectionalism no longer holds sway, that veterans of 61- 65, whether they lived in the North or South, are united today, tomorrow and forever. The association is rap idly, growing both in favor and num bers, and it is expected that the meet ing at the Jamestown Exposition will be largely attended by old soldiers from all parts of the country. ST. JOSEPH, Mich., July 9.—The “Teddy Bear” fad was severely scored by Rev. Richard G. Esper from the pulpit in St. Joseph’s Catholic church today. The priests held that the toy beasfs in the hands of little girls were destroying all instincts of motherhood and in the future would be realized a powerful factor in race suicide. Father Esper spoke earnestly to his congregation for fifteen minutes on the subject, exhorting all parents to re place the doll in the affections of child ren. “There is something natural.” said he, "in the care of a doll by a little child. It is the first manifesta tion of the feeling of motherhood. In the development of these tnotherly in stincts lies the 'hope of all nations. It is a monstrous crime to do anything that' will tend to destroy these in stincts. That is what the Teddy Bear is doing, and that is why it is’ going to 'be a factor in the race suicide prob lem if it is not suppressed. It is ter rible enough that the present genera tion of parents in this country are leading us into grave danger. If we cannot awaken them, let us at least save Fie future generations.” MISSOURI PACIFIC ORDERED TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW LINCOLN. Neb..

July 9.—Secretary the Navy Metcalf deprecates the arlike aspect that has been given the order of the cruise of the great bat tleshlp squadron from the Atlantic to the Raciflc coast. The Secretary said last night that the proposed movement, was that of a practice cruise and that the fleet" would not. be ' kept in the Pacific permanently. He declared that the length of time that the fleet would remain on the western side of the con tinent had not-yet been decided. With considerable emphasis the Sec retary voiced his opinion that the war like interpretation that had been made in connection with the fleet’s move ment was not justified by the facts. In fact the widely pubiished reports suggesting hostile preparations seem to be a source of irritation for the head of the navy. He said: "The fleet which will be moved from the Atlantic to the Pacific this winter is coming to this side merely on practice cruise.: The fleet will consist of sixteen or more vessels, not more than twenty, afid its stay on this side will not be permanent. Of course the fleet will not come here, turn around and go right back again. How long it will remain in the Pacific will be de termined at the proper time. “There is no sound reason or excuse for all this talk by the public and through the pr^ss of an -attempt to overawe Japan by a warlike naval dis play. I do not believe the newspapers are justified or-’right in so construing and coloring the cruise of the warships to the Pacific.” i CONFERENCE OF COUNSEL FOR DEFENSE IN EDDY LITIGATION. BOSTON.
