MRS. STANFORD BUYS CURIOS
Mrs. Ikeda Sells Collection to Give
Money to Japan's War Fund.

MIS-. Ikeua sells correction TO cave
Money to Japan's War Fund.
Stanford University, Cal, July 27.-
The most important collection ever in
stalled at the Stanford museum, and
one of the richest consignments of jap
anese and Chinese art ever brought in
to this country, has been purchased by
Mrs. Stanford at cost of more than
500, 900. The collection was part of
very rich private collection of the
late S. Ikeda, of Koyoto, Japan, one
of the greatest art collections of his
country.
The sale was brought about by the
desire of Mrs. Ikeda to contribute to
the japanese war fund, and the whole
purchase price has been paid directly
to the Japanese government by Mrs
Stanford. The collection comprises
some of the rarest relics produced in
the epmire for the last seven centuries.
The most important gruop is made up
of several screens which have descend
ed from the seventeenth century.

TRYING TO LET GO.
Japan's Opinion of Russia's Search
for Trouble.

Japan's Opinion of Russia's Search
for Trouble.
Tokyo, July 27.-The acts of the
Vladivostok squadron in the Pacific
and of the Volunteer fleet in the Red
sea strengthen the belief here that
Russia is deliberately seeking to affect
America, England and Germany, in
the hope of finding an avenue for
gracefully retiring from disastrous
war.
There Is no argument over the right
ing actual contraband of war, but the
wisdom of destroying neutral prizes
without trial, unless the object is to
involte other powers is generally ques-
toned.
1t is believed that America will re-
fuse to recognize Russia extended
list of contra band, and will speedily
demand limitation to articles rea-
sonably contraband in order to protect
her large Oriental commercial inter-
ests. 1t is expected that Great Britain
will protest against the sinking of the
Knight Commander and demand trial
for seized British steamers, and that
Ger -hany vii make second and more
vigorous protest.
The Vladivostok warships are hover
ing about the course of the steamers
from San Francisco, probably with the
hope of overhauling the liner Korea.
Warming however, has been given to
the Korea, and she has a chance of
eluding the Russians. There will
probably be other seizures, and what
ever is the determination of the legal
questions involved, or whatever diplo-
matte action may be taken, it is conf
IDENTIFY believed here that the seizures
will create a feeling of intense irrita-
ton and unfriendliness against Russia
in America, England and Germany.
Japan is anxious to localize the com
bata nd avoid involving other powers,
but views with unfriendlness the acts
of aggression against friendly neutrals
and treaty violations disadvantageous
to herself. In the latter connection
Japan regards the affair of the passage
of the volunteer fleet through the Oar
danelles as of more Importance than
the acts of the vessels subsequent to
such passage.

Little Profit In COOKING F..a

The utility in cooking feed for ami.
mals, and especially for pigs, wa,
given most attention in the days previ
Gus to investigations by experiment
stations. Cooking feed Is no Ionpe,
regarded as an economical practice for

animals which 1t is desired to put into

of Senator German to accept the place
could prevent the selection of Mr. Tag
