HEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN. ATLANTA. GA.. SUNDAY, JT T NE 1. 1913. 3 B 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.” Society Leaders New Life-Savers Chicago Women Will Be Volunteer Rescuers at Summer Resorts in Many States.
