WOMEN OBJECT
TO MORMONIsM
Members of Societies in
Japan Prepare a
Protest.

TACOMA. Nov. THE women OF Japan
have now added their protest to that of
the religious denominations against per-
mitting Heber Grant and his associates
of Salt Lake to promulgate the Mormon
creed in the Mikado's realm.
The Imperial Government has been pc
titioned by three of the most important
societies of women of Japan on this sub
ject. The primary object Of these socie-
ties is to reform customs with regard to
women. They are working to raise Jap
anese women to a higher plane, especial
ly with regard to their morality. They
set forth four reasons why MormOns
should not be allowed to proselyte among
Japanese. They are as follows:
First-While the Mormons publicly an
nounce their abandonment of plural mar
riages they are guided only by political
considerations and continue to practice
pClygamy.
Second-That Mormons hold that the
end justifies the means and the his
tory of Mormon propagandism Is disfig-
ured by shocking deeds.
Third-That the Mormon organization is
subsersive of submission to legally con-
stituted authority, having at the head
prophets and elders whose commands all
members must obey.
FOurth-They desire to remove to Utah
all proselytes who cannot yield unquaIi-
fed obedience in the country where they
live.
The women add that while the authori-
ties are endeavoring to control evil sects
at home they should certainly refuse ad-
mission to an undesirable sect from
abroad

WESTERN UNION
MUST COMPETE
Secretary Root Defines
Rights Of Telegraph
Lines in Cuba.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, 14O6 G STREET, N.
W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Secretary Of
War Root has denied the claim of the
Western Union Telegraph Company that
under its concession from Spain it pos
sesses the exclusive right to transmit pri-
vate messages between the United States
and Cuba. The Secretary has also de-
MED that the rights of the Cuba Sub
marine Telegraph Company, under the
Spanish grant, must be observed, and he
has directed Governor General Wood to
take measures to ascertain and maintain
the status quo ante bellum in respect to
private kilograms.
Under this instruction the transmission
of private messages between Havana.
Batabano, Cienfuegos and Santiago over
the Government lines, which has hereto-
fore been allowed, will be prohibited. All
private business between these points
must be handled by the Cuba Submarine
Gable Company. 1t will be possible. how
ever, for the Government lines to receive
private messages for transmission from
Havana to Matanzas or any other point
not named in the concession of the Cuba
Submarine Gable Company.
The controversy over the telegraph bust
ness of Cuba has involved the Western
Union Telegraph Company, the Interna-
French Cable Company and the Cuba
Submarine Telegraph Company. The
Western Union and International Ocean
Telegraph companies sought to prevent
any OIn6T IeleSIdpn companies ITOIn QOluR
business in Cuba.
The French company, it has been estab-
lished, has the right to operate its cable
between Hayti and Santiago, Cuba, and
to transmit by it messages received from
any part of the world. An examination of
the concession of the Cuba Submarine
Company and the decree issued by The
Spanish Government, which was discov
cred by the department after an exhaus-
tive search, shows that the company pos
sesses the exclusive privilege of tele-
graphic communication between any two
Of these points in Cuba: Havana, Bata-
bano Cienfuegos and Santiago.
This exclusive privilege is confined to
private messages and not to Government
business. The Spanish Government re-
tanned the right to operate land lines be-
tween any one of these points and all
other portions OF the island. but could not
transmit private messages between any
two Of them.
The Government lines, which were re-
constructed by the American army, con-
meet these four points and have been used
by various cable companies for the send
ing Of messages TO the cities named.

the handball court. He skipped the rope
a couple of thousand times and whistled
a tune during the exercise. He put in all
kinds Of fancy steps, and his jumping was
to the rowing machine. This is his pet
exercise. He says it strengthens arms
and shoulders and develops his wind. He
gears the machine SO high that only a
man of his great strength can move the
oars. He kept this work up for ten min
utes, and when he finished was ready for
more work He He then toSyed with the med
pounds, but the big fellow handles it with
ease. Brother Jack bore the brunt of the
attack, and Jeffries nearly knocked him
off his feet every time he launched the
ball at him.
About o'clock in the evening Jeffries
and his friends went on coon hunt.
Syndicate Armstrong was prevailed
upon to give up poker game and went
along. Every dog in camp was pressed
into service. Within few minutes their
deep baying signaled they were on the
track of a coon. Jeffries carried the lam
tern and led the crowd in the wake of the
dogs. The pace was a hot one, and the
bunch either had to keep 1t up or sit down
in the darkness until the champion re
turned. The hunters returned about mid
night with one coon.
Trainer Delaney believes that when JEFF
fries goes down to the city his wind will
be better than it is up here. Harbin
Springs is nearly 1000 feet above the leval
lighter than in San Francisco. Delaney ;
theory is that If Jeffries can run five
miles without being winded in this at
mosphere he must be able to go double
the distance in the city.
Preparations to leave for Oakland are
under way. If Jeffries does not change
his mind at the eleventh hour the entire
party will depart for Oakland tomorrow
morning. Jim will finish his training az
the Reliance Athletic Club. Delaney Will
keep a close watch on Jim and see that
he is not bothered by advice and idls

HONOLULU, Nov. THE suit brought
by C. H. Brown, local plumber, against
the Master Plumbers Association and the
Journeymen Plumbers Association Of
Honolulu, asking for damages on account
of an alleged unlawful agreement be-
tween the two associations by which
Brown was forced out Of business, was
decided by a jury in the United States
District Court in favor of the plaintin.
Brown Gets more than $1,000 damages His
suit was the first of the kind in Hawaii.
1t was brought under the ANTITRUST law,
the plaintiff accusing the defendants of
making a combination in restraint or
trade. The two associations agreed that
their members should not employ OF pc
employed by outsiders, and Brown being
a member of neither could not get men
to work for him.
A Porto Rican boy IA years old, who
ran away from his native land to come
to Hawaii when a load of immigrants
were leaving, has been the subject OF a
correspondence between Governor Allen,
of Porto Rico and the Hawaiian Planters
Association. The boy was wanted by his
mother, who had refused her permission

CHAMPION WILL REACH OAKLAND TONIGHT

~ US RUHLIN is satisfied he has

III physical condition. From this
W. time forward until the big fight
he will reduce his work gradually
Ruhlin and his manager, Billy Madden,
had consultation yesterday, and as a
result Ruhlins usual afternoon gymna-
SUM work was omitted. Instead of going
through the rope skipping, bag punching
and wrestling, Rubin dressed himself
lightly and went for ten-mile walk with
Tom Herman, who is training to fight
Kid McFadden. Herman ran great deal
of the distance, but Rubin simply logged
along at a brisk gait.
The tapering off process will be q tick
lish proposition. When q man is in the
pink of condition to battle for the heavy
weight championship Of the world great
care must be taken that he does not go
stale, leave his fight on the road,' nor
meet with some accident to his legs, arms
or hands. Madden intends to be especial
ly careful with his aspirant for jeff S
laurels. Henceforth he will keep watch
full eye on him. 1t was upon the advice
of Madden that Rubin decided to COM
mence to ease off in his training yester-
day.
For the last three weeks Rubin has
only had the boxing gloves on twice. The
first knuckle of Ruhlin's left hand which
was injured some time ago, Is thoroughly
healed and mended and is as good as It
ever was. Runl1n, however, Will take no
chances of its causing him any inconven-
fence, SO he will leave the gloves alone
until the night of the fight and be careful
not to engage in any exercise which
might present an opportunity to bruise
! the member.
On alternate days from now until the
night of the big fight Rubin will do his
afternoon work in the gymnasium. On
| other afternoons the Akron fighter will
simply seek diversion and recreation in

| tapering off process before and he knows
| just what to do. When he feels like q

and shuttle around the gymnasium with

substitute for a punching bag. At times
he will probably feel dull and on these
