Senate and House Are Beginning
to Take Some Stock in His Re
peated Admonitions to Be Pre
pared for “Yellow Peril” War.
CHICAGO, May 31.—Harry Jordan
was a good chauffeur and had deep
blue, hypnotic eyes. A brief ac
quaintanceship with him cost Mrs.
Fred Strong of 15023 I-a Salle Avenue
$4,100, she said to-day, when she ap
pealed to the police to protect her
six-year-old son from being kidnaped
1 by Jordan.
The threat of her former chauffeur
! to steal hof little son took Mrs. Strong
to the police, but after she had told
I her story of the remarkable eyes and
ways of Jordan to Lieutenant Timo
thy Cullinan, he sent detectives to the
Municipal Court with Mrs. Strong to
have her swear out a warrant for
Jordan on a charge of swindling.
• "I Inherited a considerable estate
from my mother a short time ago.”
.said Mrs. Strong. “Last October 1
bought a motor car and Harry Jordan,
with his appealing blue eyes, asked
me for a job as dhauffeur and got it.
Ho was a crack-a-Jaok chauffeur and
swirled me about the city and for
tine rides in the country.
Takes Him Into Home.
“After a few weeks he told me that
all his life he had lived in luxury
and it hurt his feelings to have to
} sleep In the garage. He thought our
home would he far more comfortable.
He told me all this and I told it to
Mr Strong.”
“If that chauffeur moves in here, I
move out,” said Mr. Strong.
The chauffeur with the deep blue
i eyes moved in and Mr. Strong went
downtown to live.
After Jordan' had lived in the house
a few days and had nosed around
among the papers and had learned
the family history he came down
stairs one morning and confronted
Mrs Strong.
“Don’t you recognize me?” Mrs.
Strong says he asked.
“Sure, you are the hired chauffeur,”
said Mrs. Strong.
“Oh. don’t say that, or you’ll break
j my heart. Don’t you recognize me?
f, an’t you see? Why, I’m your step
brother! Ah. sister. I can see that
| you do recognize me.”
He Keeps the Change.
“After that.” Mrs. Strong continued,
i “I turned over a piece of property
l worth $3,400 to him, which he at once
disposed of and pocketed the cash.
He handled other property deals for
i me in which the profit amounted to
j several hundred dollars and he al
ways kept the change.”
In December Jordan had another
j idea He approached Mrs. Strong
| with a mysterious air and after say
ing “Hist!” and looking all around
j to see that nobody could overhear,
I he whispered:
“I belong to a lodge.”
"Yes.”
' It is a secret and mysterious order,
j The commands of this lodge cannot
be dlsobeypd. I have been ordered to
get married and at once.”
So Jordan married Miss Ella Wuri,
the prettiest telephone pperator* at
the Edgewater Exchange, and her
parents confidently trusted Jordan
with $200 to invest after they had
heard of his farm in Iowa and his
$60,000 worth of securities. He chauf-
fed for Mrs. Strong up until a few
weeks ago when as a sign that he
was tired of working, Mrs. Strong
says he sold the car and pocketed the
| proceeds. Then he said he was go
ing on his wedding Journey.
AWAKES FROM LONG TRANCE.
Special Cable to The American.
PARIS, May 31.—A young work
man named Leon Jean, aged 19, who
I lives at Equeurreville, near Cher-
| bourg, has awakened after being in a
J trance for 77 days. He believes that
he was only asleep for one night.
WASHINGTON. May 31.—The an
nual war scare that Richmond Pear
son Hobson, Representative from
Alabama in Congress, usually stirs up
over the “yellow peril,” thereby mean
ing Japanese, seems to be a thing
hovering in the air at this time.
Hobson, the hero of Santiago,
knows what he is talking about. He
was a naval constructor before he
had a desire to represent his district
in Congress and anything nautical
appeals strongly to him.
.Aside from the technical parts of
his profession. Hobson is keenly alive
to the conditions that confront the
American nation. Ever since he has
been in Congress he has harped con
tinually on the question of the "yel
low peril.” In effect he says that
Japan has covetous eyes not only on
the Philippines but on Alaska.
Given Much Warning.
He does not think Japan will make
a move to capture the Hawaiian Is
lands, although he predicts that if
they prove successful in a war with
the United States they will denude
this nation of its possessions in the
East.
He has given this country much j
warning on a subject that is nearest
to his heart. Not territorial ag
grandizement. but conservation, per
haps preparedness. That’s what Hob
son wants. He knows as a navy man
that the United States is deficient in
the protection of its great coast lines,
also understands the problems that
confront a nation that has any idea i
of invading the United States.
But his main contention is, “Is the
honor of the United States involved ;
in affording protection to the Philip- j
pines and Alaska?”
The Philippines are material to the
Japanese. Alaska has been a bone of,
contention between the two Govern
ments for the last ten years—the seal
industry furnishing employment to
thousands of Japanese being one ot
the reasons why the Japanese would ]
like to obtain sovereignty there.
Conditions in Far East.
In Hawaii, the balance of power,
should Japanese have the right to
vote, would be held by the Orientals.
In the Philippines army officers be
lieve that discontented natives would
flock to Japanese standards should
war be declared between Japan and
the United States. What the result
would be Is hard to determine.
In the Philippines, the army,
through dint of perseverance, has
succeeded in getting from Congress
r.nly such appropriations as will pro
vide for the armament of tHe most
important harbors. There are many
places along the coast where hostile
fleets from Japan could find harbor
•and from which expeditions could be j
sent through the island, and finally to |
Manila.
In Hawaii it is different. At Pear:
Harbor the United. States has spent
nearly $13,000,000 in arming what is
considered to be the Gibraltar of the
Pacific. Yet adverse criticism has
been heard, even in army and navy
circles, that the naval base there is j
not of the strength that it is supposed j
to be. Engineers employed in erect
ing the fortifications, it is said, have
discovered that a grave mistake was j
made in selecting Pearl Harbor as the
American base in the islands.
Alaska Not Fortified.
In Alaska there is no formidable
fortification that would aid the
"home guard” in staving off a Japan
ese invading force. Little money has
been spent by the Government in for
tifying the principal harbors of the j
territory. It is closest to Jordan, also,
of any of the. insular possessions ot
the United States, and, perhaps, is
one of the most logical places for a
Japanese fleet to attack.
Turning from the meager land de- j
fenses that the United States has in j
the Pacific. Representative Hobson j
points to the navy equipment. The
Asiatic squadron is composed ot
thirty-five vessels of all types scat - !
tered between Manila and China in I
the extreme East to San Francisco. |
Hardly one of*the vessels, he says j
is on i war fooling with any oi
Japan’s finest warships, and while the
strength of the United States Navy
excels that of Japan, It is not a fac
tor. should war be declared within
the next few months in the Pacific.
In this connection, the Democratic
administrative officers in both the
Navy and War Departments are get
ting active in the hope of seeing
“where they are at.’’ Garrison al
ready has declared that the American
army is “not as good as it should be.”
that army officers are lacking In the
detail of larger army movement, and
that their experience is such that in
actual war they would be somewhat
at sea In handling the problems that
would have to be met.
Garrison Has Plans.
Tr* this connection, Secretary of
War Garrison said:
"I hope that the war will never
come, but in the present stage of
civilization we must recognize the
possibility, and it is with this idea in
mind that I say I believe it would be
well for the country if our legisla
tors would make provision for the
annual assembling of at least one
division, as a school wherein our of
ficers might be given that practical
training which is so necessary’ to de
velop educated generals and staff of
ficers.”

Shipment of Liquor to Drunkard
Is Within National Law.
TOPEKA. May 31.—A drunkard
may have liquor shipped to him from
another State, and the law cannot
touch either the consignee or the con
signor, according to a ruling made by
John S. Dawson, Attorney General ot
Kansas, in a case brought to him un
der the Maine law.
The law requires that official state
ments be made, showing to whom all
liquor received in a county is consign
ed. In Kingman County, a man list
ed as an habitual drunkard regularly
received a shipment of liquor from a
house in another State.
The man’s wife appealed to the
County Attorney to have the ship
ments stopped. The County Attorney
asked the Attorney General If he could
not issue an order to railroads and.
express companies to prohibit them
from delivering the liquor. Attorney
General Dawson ruled that the law
expressly provides that shipments of
liquor for the personal use of the con
signee cannot be disturbed.

Photograph That Captain Scott and His Comrades Made of
Themselves at the South Pole, and the Tent in Which They Died

by the arrow. •
The lower photograph shows the tent in which were found the bodies of Cap
tain Scott, Dr. Wilson and Lieutenant Bowers. To the right, as shown in the pho
