informing them that unless Russia forth
with disarms her warships In Shanghai,
Japan will be forced to take whatever steps
she deems necessary to protect her inter-
ests. Mr.. Takahira. the japanese minister,
called at the State Department Saturday
and left with Mr.. Adee, the acting secre-
tary of state the communication Of the
Tokyo government.
To a correspondent Of the Associated
Press Mr. Takahira said:
''While Japan sincerely hopes that the re-
ported intention Of Russia to disarm the
Askold and Grozovoi at Shanghai will
promptly be executed, my government has
felt that 1t was advisable to inform the
powers what must necessarily be Its atti-
tude in the event that the disarmament Of
the Russian ships Is delayed. The condi-
the many international interests there and
my government Is DESTROYS Of giving these
interests every consideration.
my government has not indicated in Its
note to the powers just what steps will be
necessary II the Russian ships are not I'M
mediately disarmed. But 1t should be re-
membered that the Ryeshitelni was not
completely disarmed when seized by the
japanese, and under the circumstances her
presence in Chefoo was exceedingly disad-
YantaEeopa to japan for military reasons"

The young people met at a dance given at

OF love at hrst sight. The young man
asked the privilege of calling on Miss Fer

granted. When he proposed marriage the
young lady was greatly startled and treated
the proposition as a joke When she realized

MUSICIANS CONFIDENT.
Believe the Theaters Will Concede In
crease in Salaries

Members of the musicians union express
ed the hope today that their controversy
with the managers of the local theaters
over the present wage scale may be AMIGA
bly, settled.
AT any rate" said one of the leading
members of the musicians organization,
I'VE will not take snap judgment In the
matter. We understand that two of the
managers are out of town, and we Will
probably take no action until they return.
The theater musicians have demanded an
increase in pay from s15 to $1S week IN
those theaters which have only two natl
nees a week, and from SIS. to $40 in the
houses which have daily matinees.
The musicians union will hold its regu-
lar semi-monthly meeting next Sunday.
There were no indications today that
special meeting will be called.

Sleeping Quarters at New Willard
Business Office in Colorado Building.

Sleeping Quarters at New Willard
Business Office in Colorado Building.
The New Willard HoteB has d charity
guest. 1t isn't often that lodging at one
of the leading and most expensive hostel
ries in the city may be obtained free of
cost but this is an extraordinary case.
This particular ledger asked no favors of
the management, nor did he app1oach the
hotel desk and place his name upon the
register. In fact, he can relther read nor
write, nor can he speak any language
known to mankind. He walked into the
hotel one day last week, not through the
lobby, as any well-bred and intelligent
guest should have done, but through a win
dow on the very top floor
After looking around the ball room and
finding nothing there to suit his fancy, he
returned to the window, and spent the
night upon the sill, sleeping the sleep of the
innocent A unique guest is this, indeed.
But what is more extraordinary, when he
awoke in the morning he took his departure
by leaping from the window on the top
floor, and landing on the street below un-
harmed The only explanation that wit
nesses of the affair could make was to an
nounce that the guest was not an ordinary
mortal but a pretty blue tinted hOming
pigeon, with a tiny band around his right
ankle, bearing the inscription - M,
25U4S.'
Further investigation shows this to be a
remarkable bird About week ago he
alighted on the sill of window in the
offices of Slater Brothers, sixth floor of the
Colorado building. Mr.. Robt. Slater was
at his desk and noticed the strange caller.
After satisfying himself that he would be
in the hands of friends the bird deliberate
ly flew over to the desk, perched on Mr..
Slater's calendar, and proceeded to make
himself thoroughly at home. An investiga-
ton showed the pigeons craw to be empty,
and Mr.. Slater says that there was sort
of hungry look in the little fellows eyes.
Anyway. food was procured and scattered
on the sill. The caller partook of hearty
meal, and then made himself comfortable
in shady corner for a snooze.
During the day he ate little more and
slept little more, but at dusk he took
fight. Mr.. Slater watched him, and saw
him fly to one Of the east windows on the
top floor of the New Willard Here he
roasted for the night, and bright and early
the next day he came back to the Colorado
building for his meals.
This performance has been re-enacted
every day since, and there Is no reason to
believe that it will not continue indefinite
ly. All day long he hops around on the
window sill in Mr.. Slater's office, OCCASION
ally coming in, merely to demonstrate that
he is thoroughly domesticated and accus-
toned to good society. The aristocratic
taste of the bird is evident from the choice
he has made for his nights lodgings. IT'S
a fortunate pigeon that can maintain Of
fees in the Colorado building and sleeping
quarters in the New Willard, neither in
volving a penny's expense. Mr. Slater de-
clares he will see the little fellow is fed
every day until his owner can be found.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, August 29.-After
a painstaking analysis of the situation by
the republican state committee, in session
today, it became apparent that the situation
in Indiana is far from certain, and the
committee, believing republicans are suf-
fering from Iethargy, don't care who
knows it
The investigation discloses that, while
the democrats have an uphill task In at
tempting to carry the legislature, they have
a brighter chance than for several years
past, and there is no doubt that they will
be able to greatly reduce the republican
majority on joint ballot. The republicans
according to the canvass, are reasonably
certain of losing the following districts:
Senate-Clinton and Carroll, /; Crawford
Perry and Spencer. l; total, 2.
Observation-Disclosures, 1; Cass, 1; Clary, l.;
Clay and Owens, 1; Davies, j. Dekalb, l.;

by republicans are in doubt:

I'll now grasp my pen with pleasure

And write, tho feeble my effort,
what my heart whispers to me.
I'll write of you, Dear John, whose
pure young spirit has flown up to the
beautiful world above, where sorrow q
are never known. I'll write Of your
loving character, that you formed so
nobly here-a character that were we
to initiate, would fit us for q higher
sphere. You have erected your own
monument, you have carved it most
sublime; you have left a beautiful
epitaph written on the page of time.
Now may we shape our lives, my

ing words: ''This life is too uncer-
tain to be unprepared for it's end.''
Still young, oh, John, but your
counsel was good and wise, and had
God seen fit to spare your life, you
would have helped many, sin to des.
pise, but for some great unknown
good, He has called you up above, to
meet no more the trials here, but to
bask in the sunlight of His love.
TO us it seemed so cruel that for
ever you should depart; but, oh, we
should not oensure, or blame our
Father so, for 'He doeth all things
WE'LL" and perhaps some day we'll
know. and understand why your life,
so pure, so sweet, has been cut down
by the Reaper Death, and laid at
Jesus feet.
We can never again feel the thrill
of your sympathetic hand clasp, the
tender pressure of your1 loving arms.
the warm kiss of your sensitive lips,
nor can we gaze into the mysterious
depths of your radiant dark eyes! But
we can feel your sweet spirit ever
with us to caress and soothe, to in
spire and enoble our thoughts, our
words, our very lives.
Farewell, dear heart, till we meet
again; in the early morning, in the
glory of MONDAY, in the hush of
evening, shall think fondly of you.
I shall think of you in heavens fair
courts, with the light in your eyes,
of love eternal
Weep not dear parents. brothers
and sisters. Oh, how sad but what
a glorious thought to know that he
has gone to that better land where
there shall never be sorrow or pain,
that we may have that sweet memory
in our hearts, that he was all that
was true, noble and Christ like.
