JAPAN's LOVE FOR AMERICA.
Sentiment Is Deeper Than That for
Her British Ally.

Her BF1IlSn Ally
LONDON. Nov. 25.-writing from
Toxic on the subject of alleged
intrigue of Russian agents to SOW dis
cord between japan and America and
to create the feeling in America that
Japan's success in the present war
would jeopardize Americas position in
the Philippines, a correspondent of the
Times declares that nothing could be
more chimerical.
1t Is doubtful. the correspondent
says. whether even Great Britain holds
a higher place IN Japan's esteem and
affection than America. The writer
says this sentiment is of long and un-
checked growth. It began under the
diplomatic regime of Townsend Har-
ris and the numerous instances of
Americas friendship since that time
have so resulted that no Western ma
ton is more cherished by Japan than
America.
These considerations should suffice
to show how extravagant is the sug-
gestion that Japan would ever resent
the floating of the Stars and Stripes
over the Philippines On the contrary,
Americas withdrawal from the Philip
pines would be regarded by the Jap
anese as little short of calamity, since
her presence constitutes a guarantee
for the continuance of her wholesome
interest in Far Eastern affairs.
Townsend Harris. representing the
United States in the Orient in 1858,

commerce between the United States
and Japan and the opening of three
ports TO foreign residents.

Home Cures for Drunk
enneSS Do Not Cure.

Of letters from people from out Of
town who have heard OF my famous
cure for the drink habit and who

I answer No.
The reason is simple Excessive
drinking affects no two men alike;
neither are two men ever in exactly
the same physical condition Then,
again, complications arise from drink
ing. Every case needs and must have
individual treatment-no two cases
are alike.
Every man who comes to any of my
Offices receives the personal attention
Of the highest skilled physician and
my cure IS administered TO suit such
case after thorough examination.

TRUE BILLS RETURNED.

true bill, charging murder in the first degree, has been returned by the grand jury of Jefferson county against Roland T. Shugart, who is charged with shooting A. J. Banholzer in the Metro politan hotel bar room last January The wounded man died several days later.
 Shugart was arrested immediately after the shooting occurred and locked ID in the county jail At a preliminary hear ing before Judge H B. Abernathy of the inferior court of Birmingham. he was bound over without bail to await the ac- ton of the grand jury. His attorneys, however, petitioned for ball in the crim- inal court on habeas corpus proceedings and as a result of this hearing before Judge Dan Greene the defendant was al- lowed to make bail in the sum of $10,O00 which he did immediately.
 It is of unusual interest when de- fendant is indicted on the charge of mur- der in the first degree and Is out on bond. The same bond fixed at the habeas corpus proceedings will serve for tho grand jury indictment. The case has been set for trial on May 16.
 Before adjourning on Thursday until May 20. the grand jury also returned an indictment against Walter Anderson, who Is charged with killing J. B. Allen d week or so ago in the Louisville and Nashville railroad yards. The hearing of the habeas corpus proceedings in this case by which Anderson seeks ball. was called yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock before Judge Charles W. Ferguson of the city court of Birmingham, but upon motion of the state 1t was continued un- til next Saturday afternoon. Shugart and Bell are the attorneys for Anderson.
 Indictments were also found by the grand jury against Dave Laws, accused of killing Neil Mullen in Ensley and Glenn Tetherow accused of killing Hardy White, attorney of Ensley. All of these are white men.
 A true bill was returned against Will liam z Mead, the insurance man recent- ly arrested, charging embezzlement. Be- fore adjourning the grand jury made a. partial report to the criminal court. Judga Samuel D. Greene presiding. In which re- port it was stated that since organiza- , ton, a total of 261 cases had been in. vestigated. 675 witnesses examined. and 121 true bills returned.
 The grand jury had been in. session | twenty-two days.
