JAPANESE ARE ACTING UNEASY Fourth Note to State Depart- ment Unanswered. CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT Ambassador Chinda, Under Pressure From Tokio, Seeks Definite Word as to When a Reply Is to Be Expected From This Government. ‘Washington, Sept. 18.—Viscount Chinda, the -Japanese ambassador, had an engagement with President ‘Wilson to discuss the California alien land law. He has had several conferences with Secretary Bryan, but no answer has been made to the fourth Jap- anese note, sent two weeks ago, and the Tokio government, contending with elements attacking the ministry not only for its difficulties with China, but with the United States as well, is said to be growing restive un- der the delay. Counselor John Bassett Moore, who has been framing previous notes to Japan, i3 away on a vacation and is not expected back until next week. The conference with President Wil-| son, however, has been generally in- terpreted in official circles here as the result of pressure upon Ambassador Chinda from the home government to get definite word as to when a reply is to be expected and to hasten the progress of the negotiations. CAR INQUIRY IS EXTENDED fnterstate Commission Includes All Private Owners in Probe. ‘Washington, Sept. 19.—The inter- state commerce commission has di- rected that “all individuals, firms and companies and corporations, owning or operating cars and other vehicles and instrumentalities and facilities ot shipment or carriage of property in interstate commerce,” be made de- fendants in the commission’s inves- tigation of private car lines and the allowances paid to them by the trunk line railways. ‘The private car line investigation was begun by the commission more than a year ago on complaint that the operation of such car lines was unreasonable and discriminatory, and that the allowances to them by the; trunk lines were . excessive. By the terms of the first order only the railways were' made respondents in the proceedings; by the latest ~order the owner of every private car line is bruught directy into the case. 'PRIZE PICTURES ARE SHOWN! ‘German R:ilroads Transform Trains; % Into’ Art Galleries. ‘Berlin, Sept. 19.—State railways of | Germany are installing in the cs:u's;l of their express trains 6,000 photo-' graphs, chosen after a competition | among the amateur photographers ot | the country. Forty of the best pic-| tures were awarded prizes and each was reproduced 150 times. They show landscapes, city vwws] statuary and battleships, but most of; them are intended to impress pas-! sengers with the beauties of Ger:| 'many. The competition attracted | about 1,000 competitors and three of the best known artists in the coun-, #ry acted as judges. DELAY OF YEARS POSSIBLEj Thaw Case May Be Taken to Federal Supreme Court. Washington, Sept. 19.—Weeks, months or possibly years might rol! by before the supreme court would act finally should Harry K. Thaw ap-‘, peal from the habeas corpus proceed-! ings now pending in New Hampshire.! Of late, however, the court has & posed of such important cases quick-| 1y. | Whether an appeal to the supreme', court {rom the action of Judge Aldrich, federal district judge in New Hamp- shire, before whom the habeas corpus proceedings were brought, may be! granted will rest entirely; it is said, with Judge Aldrich himself. WILL PRESS RATE CASES ‘South Dakota to Urge Dismissal of Railways’ Complaints. “’ Pierre, S. D., Sept. 19.—The state will attempt to procure action on the 2-cent rate law at the hearing fixed for Sept. 25 at Sioux Falls before Judge Willard of the United States court, the judge having just signed an order setting down for argument at that time and place a motion made to dismiss the complaints of the rail- way companies in both the 2i4-cent and 2-cent rate cases on the merits, the ground being taken that there ‘+has been entire failure of proof on the part of the railway companies, as zead in the light of the ‘decision of the supreme court of the TUnited States in the Minnesota rate cases. Thirty-nine Killed in Wreck. Gragse, France, Sept. 19.—Thirty- ouLLER I3 NOT IN ATTENDANCE Impeachment Trial Opens at Albany, N. Y. Organization Is Perfected and Ad- journment Taken to Permit the Drafting of Rules and Methods of Procedure to Be Followed, Albany, N. Y., Sept. 19.—The high court for the trial of the impeachment of Willlam Sulzer, governor of New York state, held its first session. Or- ganization was perfected and adjourn- ment taken in order to permit the drafting of rules and methods of pro- cedure to be followed during the remainder of the trial. As had been expected counsel for the impeached executive objected to the senators who served on the Fraw- ley committee, which unearthed much of the evidence resulting in the im- peachment, sitting in judgment’ upon the governor. They also objected to Senator Wagner, acting lieutenant governor, becoming a member of the court. Notwithstanding these objections | the senators were sworn in, Chief Judge Cullen announcing the points raised would be considered later. It was also determined that Judges Miller, Chase and Hiscock, three ap- pointed members of the court of ap-| peals, would be permitted to serve on the high court with the elected judges and the members of the sen- ate. Governor Sulzer Absent. Governor Sulzer was not in the courtroom. When he was called to -answer the charges preferred by the assembly Judge D. Cady Herrick, his chief counsel, announced that it was the governor’s desire not to appear in person, but to be represented by his attorneys. L Although noon was the appointed hour for the convening of the court several thousand persons thronged the capitol building and grounds be- fore 9 o'clock, all hoping to gain ad- mittance to the senate chamber, the scene of the trial. While there was no indication that any testimony ‘would be taken the crowds were eager to witness the solemn opening cere- monies of the court. Owing to the small seating capacity of the senate galleries most of the would-be spectators, were doomed to diappointment. Not more . than ;300 seats were available, of which fifty were reserved for newspaper men. Forestalling possibility of any at- tempt to rush the chamber the sen- ate sergeant-at-arms and his staff were reinforced by a heavy platoon of city police. Positive orders were issued that no spectator should be permitted on the floor of the chamber. The Charges Against Sulzer. That William Sulzer. filled with the secretary of state a false statement of his campaign receipts, expendi| tures, disbursements and liabilities. That he was guilty of perjury In’ stating under oath that his statement of his campaign receipts, expenditures, i disbursements and liabilities was cor- rect. That he was guilty of bribing wit nesses to withhold testimony from the i legislative committee which investi- : gated his campai‘m expenditures and| i recelpts. That he was guilty of suppressing| evidence in using threats to keep wn.l i nesses from testifying before the leg:| islative committee. That he was guilty of preventing and dissuading a witness, Frederick L. Colwell, from attending under sub-! poena ‘the sessions of the legislative; committee. That he used money and checks con- tributed to his pre-election campaign to speculate in stocks, and that he was; thereby guilty of larceny. That as governor he threatened to use his office and influence for the purpose of affecting the vote or po litical opinion of public officers. That while governor'he corruptly used his authority and influence to af: ‘ytact the current prices of securities listed and selling on the New York Stock Exchange, in some of which securities he was at the time inter ested. MYSTERY IN MARQUIS’ DEATH Member of Spanish Cortes Founo With Bullets in Head. Seville, Spain, Sept. 19.—Marquis ‘Walla de Darenia, a member of the cortes, was shot in a mysterious way while hunting with a large party oi friends on his estate. The marquis ‘was lost sight of for a time and finally two shots were heard. The hunters proceeding in the direction of the fir ing came upon the body of the mar quis, with two bullets in the head. 1t 18 believed that the shooting was ac )eidental. Willlam D. Haywood Iil.

ANDERSON WRONG | SAYS TAVENNER (Continued from first page). I and unwritten, deprive me of my op- portunity for service; and the sys- tem of legislation, visible and inyisi- ble, which pertains here strips me of my prerogatives as a representatlve of the people. I am overwhelmed, discouraged, disheartened by the use- lessness, the terrible fruitlessness of it all. My membership is at once a farce and a fraud.” This spectacnlar action and speech is designed to create discussion of the caucus system of ligislation. It is to be hoped that it will. The Demo- crats can hardly evade the issue. There is no reason why they should do so. The efficiency of a large body of men depends largely upon their or- ganization. There must be organiza- tion, some method of averaging in- dividual opinions and welding them into a compromise and composite pol- icy in which all can unite. Even the Progressives, those fighting against the Democrtic caucus, can scarcely deny this fact. For the Progressives themselves are acting in a similar manner. They have conferred, agreed upon a plan of action, and they are now engaged in carrying out their legislative plan with singleness otl purpose. Any organization, however, is open{ to the criticism that it contains pos- sibility of danger. The Democratic caucus contains this element of dan- ger. We see a perfect political organ- ization controlled by evil elements in New York. But the Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, had a political organiz- ation or machine as all powerful as Tammany ever could be. But Johnson used his onganization for good, and/ accomplished things for the people which could not have been accompil- ished without his machine. And so the people of Cleveland, one of the most enlightened Municipalities on earth, elected Johnson and his or- ganization for term after term. The Progressives have an organiz- ation in the House. The Socialist par- ty offers an example of the closest organization known to politics. The Democratic caucus is the organiza tion, the machinery adopted by the party for carrying out its program. Would Mr. Anderson have the Democratic caucus broken np, allow- ing each member to vote individual opinion on the floor of the House. The past history of legislation shows what happens then. Take tariff legis- lation, a long dark record of betray- al and duplicity. Perhaps parties which came into power pledged to re- duce tariff duties honestly intended to keep their promises. But the mem- bers, unbound by caucus rules, soon commenced trading-—the log rolling process of evil memory and the result was that each succeeding tariff law was a greater betrayal of the people. T believe Mr. Anderson has almed] at the wrong mark. I believe the| thing that rankles with him is the secret caucus. It is the secrecy of it that is wrong; and on each occasion T have voted for the open caucus. Mr. Anderson tells the truth when he says that the caucus is the real legis- {lative body. And for that reasomn its proceedings ought not only to be open, but they ought to be published as a journal. The people have the right to know not-only how members | of the caucus vote but also the argu- ments in caucus which decided their | vote. i The people would be foolish, in my opinion, to abandon this very practi- jcal instrument of good, even though it be theoretically wrong. Theoreti- { cally our Congress would be compos- | ed entirely of high-minded men un-| animously intent on carrying out the wishes of the people. Practically that is not always the case. Until the milennium comes, if the people have control’ of an organization which is termed a benevolent desput-i ism, they would be unwise to surren- der it for perhaps something a great deal worse. I can see that if special privilege ever comes to dominate the Democratic organization, the caucus will become an issue fully as impor- tant as the Cannon issue ever was. But that time has not arrived. ofe oo ofs ofe ol oo o ol ol ole ofe ohe ol ofe b ok o ENVOY JOHN LIND BAN- QUETS MEXICANS.

During the past year wonderful progress has been made in developing the advantages for education in this county and especially so in the rural districts. Every possible induce- ments and conveniences have been added to each district to cater to every young person in the county wishing an education. Superinténd- ent Stewart believes that during the ensuing year the same progress if not a great deal more will be made along these lines. Recently Mr. Stewart was given an assistant and Professor Thomp- son was selected as the most capable of assisting with this work. Mr. Thompson has considerable experi- ence along educational development lines and is proving an.excellent as- sistant to Mr. Stewart. Total disbursements ..

He has found it necessary to use larger torch- es than for iron welding. but in gener- al the process is similar, except that he employs a liquid welding paste and a special copper welding wire. The paste prevents the formation of oxide. The process has been used for welding copper plates up to an inch in thick: ness. The process is being used in the principal copper works in Germany with great success.
