IsMENA MARTINS CAREER.
Once Sailed Under Kate Fields Name
and bought Articles ON Credit.

CLEVELAND. o., April 26.-Miss Ismena
Martin, who has been arrested in Chicago,
had a similar brief career in Cleveland a
year ago. She came to Cleveland repre-
senting that she had worked on a New
York newspaper, and as she evidently had
some experience, she obtained employment
on one of the Sunday papers. This lasted
until the publisher was called on to produce
q diamond brooch that had been entrusted
to her from which to write a jewelers. de-
scriptive advertisement. She produced the
brooch, claiming that she had forgotten it,
and was dismissed. few days later a
woman who kept her face yelled when out
side of her room registered at the Stillman
as Kate Field, of Washington. This lasted
a few days until Kate Field telegraphed
from Washington that the. woman at the
Stillman who had foolishly allowed the
newspaper men to interview her was an
imposter. The yelled lady was invited to
leave the hotel and disappeared. Then it
was discovered that she had obtained jew
elry and costly raiment worth $1,000 on
credit, and warrant was issued for her
arrest. The detectives learned that she
was Miss Martin, the daughter of a wealthy
ex-alderman of Detroit. He came to Cleve-
land, and said she had done the same thing
before, and settled with the jewelers. and
merchants.

terday consulted with the different foreign
legations. Many of the censors have pre-
sented memorials against the treaty. Prince
Kung, president of the Foreign ONCE and
of the Council of Ministers, has obtained
seven days more sick leave. Other officials

A dispatch received at Shanghai from
Pcking, says that affairs there are in

sequentiy is uncertain, and If it is ratified,
it is feared that there will be trouble with

NO EVIDENCE AGAINST GIBSON.
Durrant's Attorneys Have Failed TO
ImpIicate the Preacher.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-During the
early days of Durrants preliminary trial
an attempt was made by defendants coun-
sci to cast suspicion on Rev. George Gibson,
pastor of Emanuel Baptist Church. Dur
rants attorneys have failed so far in de-
veloping any tangible evidence connecting
the minister with the tragedies. To-day
Elmer A. Wolfe, a witness of the prosecu-
ton, was cross-examined by the defend
ants attorney who endeavored to show
that similarity between Wolfe and Dur
rant in appearance and dress had led to Dur
rants mistaken Identification by persons
who had really seen Wolfe. He accounted
for his movements from noon on Friday
until o'clock next morning. Chief Crow
ley said that in the Lamont case the police
would present even stronger chain of
circumstantial evidence against Durrant
than in the present case. He says the case
is perfect. and IL Durrant Is innocent his
position is unfortunate.

MINISTER KURINo talks.
He Thinks the United States should
Checkmate Europeans.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Minister Ku-
rino, of Japan. to-day gave a very signifi-
cant interview the Eastern question. He
said that, in his opinion, the commercial in
terests of the United States in the East,
particularly in Japan, are so much more ex-
tensive and important than those of Ger
many or France, that it would be eminently
desirable, in the event of Franco-German
alliance with Russia to prevent the con-
summation of the peace treaty, for the
United States to take an active part in off,
setting such an alliance. Mr.. Kurino wished
it to be clearly understood, however, that
this was his personal conviction. He had
not, he sad received any instructions from
his government, and there had been no sug-
gestion of an official or unofficial character
from him to the State Department that the
United States should be enlisted in its sup
port. His views were the result of his per-
sonal information of the extent of United
States interests in the East.
1.-THE commercial interests of the United
States in Japan,'' he said, "are very much
greater than those of Germany and France.
Practically, their interests are little or noth-
ing, while those of the United States are
first, and after it comes the trade of the
United States. 1t would be eminently prop
rns I'm
terests, should offset demonstration
the part of France and Germany, IL any
such move is actually made. I am not Off
cially informed that it has been made nor
am apprehensive of the move should it be
made. But in the event of its being real
lied there is little doubt. in my opinion,
that the commercial interests of the United
States would make 1t expedient to take
part in the issue. This, of course, would
not mean that the United States was to
engage in fight. Its cooperation would
undoubtedly be effective without any radical
STEP
Mr.. Kurino was asked what the result
would be If China's procrastination, or for
eign interference, prevented q ratification of
the peace agreement. "Then," he replied,
"the war will be renewed on May with
far more vigor and determination than be-
fore. The present cessation of hostilities is
due entirely to the armistice granted with
the understanding that peace was desired
and would be effected. If, however, that re-
suit is not secured there will be most ag-
gressive advance on China"
The interview show that Japan is fully
alive to the menace ntained in the sug-
gestions of a triple European alliance to
prevent the conSummation of the Chino
Japanese treaty and to the advantage of
meeting this alliance with counter alli-
ance.
A telegram received at the Japanese lega-
tion states that his imperial Majesty. the
Emperor of Japan, has conferred on Minis
ter Kurino the decoration of the second
class of the Order of the Rising Sun. This
decoration is on account of his services in
the negotiation of the commercial treaty
with the United States. The order of the
Rising Sun is of the oldest orders in
Japan.
