ORIENTAL VISITORS
Japan Does Not Pine for Hawaiian
Annexation

NEW YORK, May 2s.-The World this
morning says: Marquis Ito, who has
just arrived in this city en- route for Lon
don and the Queens jubilee, politely re-
fused to be interviewed on the plea that
he was too fatigued after his long jour-
ney; but Marquis KIDD, who speaks
English fluently, answered for him some
questions concerning the policy of ia
pan.
1.-The rumors Of Japan's desire to an
mex Hawaii" he said, "are mere Idle
gossip. We sent man-of-war there to
prevent injury to our countrymen. That
is ALL After our experience in Formosa
we don't want to annex Hawaii, or any
thing else at present"
Marquis KIDD said the Japanese have
the most amicable feeling towards
Americans, and hoped pleasant relations
would always continue.
II want to correct one mistake that is
quite general. Marquis Ito is not be-
ing sent to England as a special rep
resentative at the Queens jubilee, but
as a member of the suite of Prince
Arasugawa, member of the Imperial
family, who will fill that position for the
government on that occasion. We
will sail on La Gascogne on Saturday
and join the Prince in Paris"

BERKELEY, May 2S.-Armorer j.
Mitchell of the military department Of
the university today received reports of
the scores made by Michigan and Ten

reports still have California in the lead,

COLLEGE ATHLETES
NEW YORK, May 2s.-The Inter-
collegiate Athletic association began its
twenty-second annual field and track
events at Berkeley oval this afternoon.
There was a very small attendance OF
spectators, but as only trial heats arc
run off on the opening day large at
tendance was not looked for by the
management. The track and infield were
in splendid condition.
Although there were nearly 700 entries
received for the several events, large
majority Of those entered failed to put
in an appearance, and consequently
there were not so many trial heats as
were looked for. Eleven of the universi-
ties and colleges from which represen-
tatives came qualified one or more men
in the several events. Yale has twenty
one men standing who will contest in the
semi finals and finals tomorrow, and
had at least one man in every event
Harvard will also be represented in
every event tomorrow, as she has six
teen men who qualified. The University
of Pennsylvania boys had seventeen
representatives who qualified, and the
only event in which they failed was this

SUGAR SEARLES' CASE
EVIDENCE IN AND ARGUMENT
CONCLUDED
The Defense Confident That the Jury
Will Be Ordered to Acquit
the Witness

WASHINGTON. May 2s.-The trial Of
John E. Searles, Secretary of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining Company, followed
that of President Havemeyer in Judge
Bradley's court today. The indictment
was very similar to the one found
against Havemeyer, except that the
questions asked Mr.. Searles were some-
what different. The same lawyers who
appeared for Havemeyer had charge If
Searles' defense Members of the Sem
ate Investigating Committee and other
distinguished persons were present
District Attorney Davis asked that in
the event the trial was not concluded
today though he saw no reason why it
should noD, it be adjourned until Tues
day, owing to an important engagement
| of counsel for defense. Judge Bradley
agreed. None of the first twelve tales
men was challenged, but one was ex-
cused. The Indifference of defendants
counsel to the composition Of the jury
seemed to indicate confidence that the
case would eventually be taken out Of
the hands of the jury as that Of Have
meyers was. At 11:40 the Government
rested The defense moved that the
jury be instructed to bring in verdict
of acquittal on three grounds.
Arguments were made and court ad-
journed until Tuesday without a decis-
ion having been rendered
The indictment recited that by a res
olution of the senate a committee was
eppointed to investigate certain charges
made by the press concerning the elec-
ton of 1892. The committee summoned
Secretary Searles. He was asked by
| the committee: What amount was
expended by your company in the cam
| paign of 1922"
'T decline to answer the question,
said Mr.. Searles, giving as his reason
for declining to answer that he did not
| believe it was within the province OF
| the committee to ask such question.
| The committee then asked: "What
sum did you (meaning the American
Sugar Refining company contribute to
the Democratic campaign fund in the
state of New York in 1892 that was used
for the purpose of conducting the cam
paign in that state, at which time Cleve-
land and Harrison were candidates for
president Of the United States?"
| Il decline to answer that question"
was Mr.. Searles' reply, and for the
same reason given in the declination to
answer the first question
Ibid you contribute to the Demo-
cratic campaign fund in New York;"
| He again declined to answer.
The course followed by the district at
torney in the Havemeyer trial was re-
peated in the Searles case, the same
documents being introduced to lay the
| basis Of the trial. Senator Gray was the
| first and only witness called and he
testified az to the facts in the senate
! investigation. On cross-examin ion
he stated that he did not believe the
question asked by Senator Allen was
pertinent, taken in connection with the
question Mr.. Searles had answered. He
had testified that money was contrib
uted for national political purposes and
none with the purpose of affecting leg
islation.
A very strong impression exists that
the judge will sustain the motion and
throw the caee out of court.

Chapman and A. Zimmerman have re-
turned from the Barbados. whittier they
went last winter in search of treasure
alleged to have been buried there in
lS47 or lS4S by Simms, the pirate. The
trip was fruitless, for the reason that
they could not buy the lard where the
money is buried, nor did they have an
opportunity to dig for it secretly. An
other expedition is being planned. Chap
man claims to have been member of
the pirate crew of Simms, and says that
one barrel of gold and two of silver
were buried on the island. This is the
second expedition from Duluth in quest
of this treasure, and both were led by
Chapman. The same difficulties were
experienced in each case.
