TOKIO, April 18.—(By The Associated Press.)— Talk of military action as a tesult of the United States exclusion legislation is ridic- * glous, however much con- gress has wounded Japanese pride. Iseutenant General Ichisuke Tsuno, vice minister of war, said in an in- terview today with the Yomiurt. “It would be folly at this junc- ture,” he continued, “to follow the Chinese example and throw stones at the American embassy. This would be a boomerang to Japan. ‘We must take this expertence as a bitter but beneficial pill which may cure our internal ills and disunion. ON TO | TOKIO, April 183—(By The Asso- ciated Press.)—Recall of Ambassa- dor Hanihara is not contemplated by the Japanese government, at least for the present, Premier Ki- youra told American correspendents today following a meeting of the cabinet. Hanihara’s note, containing the much discussed ‘grave conse- quences” phrase, was misconstrued in America, the premier declared. “Close study of the text of the ambassndor’s letter,” he explained, “would convince anyone that it does not lend iteelf to an interpretation as a threat or express any desire to interfere in American Comestic af- fairs. Fortunately the majority of American news papers appear to understand this and their comments are sympathetic to Japan, which is comforting to this ministry.” Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the premier asserted the government has decided to main- tain a conciliatory attitude and to do its utmost to bring about a sat- isfactory solution of the immigration problem. “The Japanese exclusion clause has been passed by both housey sald, “but it lacks the president’s signature, which at least is doubt- ful.” Ni AMERICAN POLICY 18 DEFENDED.

Sam E. “Monk” Bailey was, ac- quitted yesterday afternoon in dis< trict court of violation of the liquor laws by a directed verdict by Judge R. R. Rose. Batley was charged with four counts following a raid on the Alcova roadhouse last Christmas week, ‘The evidence as introduced by the state did not ghow that Bailey had anything to do with the operation of the roadhouse and it was on this de- fect that the case was virtually thrown out of court. Charlie Shafer, more or less mysterious individual who is now in Los Angeles, was the proprietor of the establishment, according. to the testimony of the witnessses. Shafer’s conection with the. case is somewhat of an enigma. The pro- secution’s witnesses insisted that no one of that name or description was arrested during the raid while the witnesses for the defense testified ‘EXAGGERATED EGO’ STILL MAIN CHA By ROBERT in G . 4, 18—Hary Kendall Tha all Thaw brings into the cou that Shafer was arrested and escap- ed shortly after, The testimony yesterday showed that a jug of moonshine was broken just as the officers entered the Place, The defense witnesses stated that this destroying of evidence was done by Shafer. Floyd Miller and A. A. Fusilier, who were tired jointly with Sam E. “Monk” Bailey on liquor violations were both found gullty this after- noon by a district court jury, the former on three counts and the lat- ter on one count. Miller was sentenced to serve 120 days in the county jail and to pay a fine of $300. Fusilier was sentenced to serve 90 days and to pay a fine of $200, Perkins & Ryan, attorneys for the defense, filed notice of an appeal and the bonds of Miller were fixed at $1,500 and Fusiller at $1,000.

Yet Harry Thaw always has been dignified—when sitting in a court room. His manner is changed in no par- ticular from the days of 1907 and 1908 when he was fighting to escape the scorching breath of the electric chair. Then he was dignity itself.

B. Brooks who delivered an inspiring message before the members of the Casper Real Estate board today. The governor talked on business here and cast a glance into the future of Casper.

For the last year Casper has been the white spot on the business chart of the west. It is true that the first quarter of 1924 has no# come up to expectations anywhere In America, but business as a whole is being maintained on a higher level than ever before, There is a larger amount of it being done although at BELIEF Report Causes Democrats to Consider Abandonment of Plans to Fight for Cash Compensation WASHINGTON, April 18.—-On the basis of reports probably would bonus lering the advisability of with holding their proposal for incorporation in the measure of that President Coolidge pending insurance soldier senate leaders are cons a full cash payment option.
