JAPAN is GUILTY.
It Is She Who is Furnishing
Munitions of War to Filipinos.

Chicago, Nov. IA special to the Tri-
bune from Washington, says: The Jap
anese are furnishing arms and ammuni-
ton to the Filipinos. Indisputable evil
dence of this has reached Washington
and OccasiOned much surprise in diplo-
matte and official circles. No action can
be taken by the United States except to
call upon the consular and diplomatic
agents Of this government to exercise the
utmost vigilance to prevent the fitting out
of fltbustering expeditions.
The American forces operating in the
island of Luzon have captured many
stands of arms from the insurgents and
the marks showed cOncluSiVely they We're
manufactured in Japan.
Army officers can not understand how
the shipments got to the insurgents. I'M
less they were struggled into the islands
by hibustering expeditions, which elud-
ed the vigilance of the patrol maintained
by the navy. Owing to the numerous isl
ands and the long coast line this would
not be difficult.
From high official of the department
of state it was learned today this govern
ment could take no action in the matter.
the manufacture and sale of arms and
ammunition was a legitimate business en-
terprise and could not be curtailed. This
was the position assumed by the United
States when Spain protested against the
sale of arms to the Cubans by American
firms.
The only course to be pursued" said
this official, lis for the United States
government to make the trade so I'M
profitable that it will cease. We have
always maintained that while the selling
OF arms ana ammunition was not strictly
an Ilegitimate enterprise if they We're
sold to rebels, they could be seized and
conhScated by the government.

MARCONI SYSTEM.
To Be Established Among the Ha-
Waiian Islands

New York, Nov. photographic COM
munication by Signor Marconi's wire
less system is to be established between
five of the Hawaiian islands by a
company of Americans.
Frederick J. Cross, of the firm Of
Cation. Neil: &. Co., engineers of Hon
olulu, who is now in this city, has
closed a contract for the American
company in Hawaii.
Although many engineers regarded
the connection of the FIVE islands by
cable as impracticable, because of coral
reefs, on which a cable is soon covered
with coral growth, breaks are frequent
and repairs exceedingly difficult, the
American company had about decided
to attempted it, as the needs of tele-
graphic communication had grow n
most urgent. Then they heard of Sig
nor MarcOnis achievements and Mr..
Cross was sent to this country to view
the workings of his system. He found
that the Marconi system would cost
much less and be more practicable in
many ways than a cable.
Regular Geographic business will be
done by the company installing the
wireless system. The distances over
which communication will be estab-
lished will vary from eight to 81 miles.

hOMhhOUS APPLICATIONS

EXPECTED TO BE Made FOR
CHARTERS UNDER THE NEW
CORPORATION ACT.
Secretary Of State Hughes has been
authorized to have copies Of the new
corporation act printed, and applica-
tions for charters under the act are
expected to be numerous.
Delaware expects to get greater
part of the New Jersey charter busi-
ness. One reason why this is expect
ed is because the original fee for a
charter granted under the new law is
cheaper than in New Jersey, and the
second reason is that the tax to be i'm
posed on corporations after they are
chartered is less than the New Jersey
tax. The tax in this state will be one
twentieth Of one percentum Of the
capita, stock, while the New Jersey
tax is cne-tenth OF one percentum, oI
twice the Delaware tax. The Delaware
law is also much more compact and
more readily understood than the New
Jersey law.
Since the new act was passed mum
Der Of people have been afraid that ga'
lcompanies or street railway companie
could secure charters and occupy th'
streets at will The companies car
get all the charters they desire unde
the new law, but they cannot Occup,
the streets of this city or any othe
without the consent Of the proper au
th-rities. This a.lays all fear Of trou
BILE on that score.
while the act is now law, an
charters can be secured at any time,
is not expected that many application
will be made until the law has bee
printed, and is fully understood b
those who are inerested in securin
e charters. It win also require som
I time for the secretary CT state to g
/ matters arranged to handle applies
tions for charters with ease.

lfcIc.ng a small window opening into
the parlor. Footprints made prior TO
their entrance show that the men. Of

windows on the first floor before they
found cne that was not fastened
Once inside they ransaclued all the
lower rooms. On the mantle-plecs in
the dining room the robbers found a
small diamond ring valued at sl5, the
property Of Mr. Lynn's daughter, Miss
Mabel. This, together with $40 in
mi ney, which was lying alongside Of
the ring, was taken. Mr.. hymns pri-
waite desk was opened and papers scat
tered all over the floor, and his two
overooats, a coat belonging to his
darshter, ard one owned by his son,
which were hanging cn the hall rack,
were thrown upon the floor and
tmmpled upon.
Va lamp, which hung from the ceiling,
was taken down, lighted and used to
assist the men in their search.
The robbery was not discovered un-
til the family came downstairs yester-
day morning and sound the window
open and the lamp burning.
In the past two months the general
store OF A. s Hizer, at Elsimere, has
been broken into and ransacNed, and
the houses OF William Davis from

been entered. The thieves from their
