THE HAWAIIAN INDEMNITY
For tho Refusal to Land Jap
 aneSa Immigrants.
Denial at all Authoritative Sources That Negotiations Between the
 Two Governments Have Pro-
 EreSSed So Far.

Washington, Sept. 29-Minister Hoshi of Japan stated today that he has no information that Japan has offered to accept 100000 yen in gold from the Hawaiian government as full payment for the rejection of 1,20O Jap anese by the Hawaiian authorities If such an indemnity was paid by the Hawaiian government the necessity for proceeding with the arbitration arranged for, of course, would be obviated.
 While no information confirmatory of the report that such an offer has been made has been received at the Japanese legation here, the officials at the legation expressed the hope that it would prove to be true, saving it would be the most satisfactory way out of the difficulty.
 At the state department the assist ant secretary's office, MT. Day, gave an absolute denial to the statement that United States Minister Sewall re- ported 100000 yen as the figure Hawaii had been notified would settle the Jap anese claim for an indemnity. Mr. Day said Mir. SewaH had not even referred to the matter in any way.

BOG OR HUMAN?
The Only Issue Apparent in the Luet.
 gert Case.

Chicago, Sept. 29.-Hog or human, that is the issue in the Luetgert trial and according to the view of the case adopted by the jury, is the fate of the defendant likely to be. The defense proved today that the bone which Dr. Dorsey, osteologist of the Columbian museum, declared was the femur of human being, is nothing but the bone of a hog.
 Such was the testimony of Dr. w. H. Alsport, professor of descrip- tion and comparative anatomy, i'll the Northwestern university.
 The most important matter elicited al the Luetgert trial today was the statement of Dr. D. L. Rieze, who ex- perimented with human bodies boiled in solution of ten per cent caustic potash, that the bones produced by the prosecution never had been sub jected to this test. He said that the surface and general appearance of the bones indicated that they never came in contact with a potash solu- tion. Luetgert may be called to take the stand in his own behalf tomor- row.
