Washington Authorities Hasten Prep
arations for Departure of Officials.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The State
Department is pushing preparations
for the early dispatch to their posts
in Manchuria of United States Consuls
Cheshire, Davidson and Morgan. who
are to be posted respectively at Muk-
den, Antung and DaIny. This is regard
less of the impending outbreak of war
and it is said that there is no reason
to apprehend that actual hostilities
will be allowed to prevent Consul
of a friendly nation from going to his
post.
Fowler, who has been in this cOun-
try on leave Of absence. has departed
in haste for CLefu, which in the event
of hostilities is expected to be a point
of the greatest Importance for the COL
lection of news and rendezvous of mer-
chant shipping. being the nearest great
neutral pert to the prospective seat Of
war.
The Navy Department will make no
effort to place. United States naval at
taches on either the Russian or jap
anese fleet. 1t is believed that consent
could not be had from either party. and
in refusing Russia and Japan would
be simply following the example set by
the United States in the Spanish war.

POLICE CATCH
A SLEEK CROOK
Man Who Has Been Occupying
Rooms at Leading Hotels and
Cheating Firms Now in Jail

1t was with infinite satisfaction that
a number of local tradespeople and
hotel proprietors learned from the Po-
lice Department yesterday that a
tank" at the Hall of Justice contained
the much wanted Jack Corbett' of
New York, who had been devoting sew
eral days of his time to victimizing
firms out Of their wares Last Satur-
day afternoon, as was related the fol-
lowing morning in The Call, a dapper
young man, acting well the part Of a
stranger, registered under the above
name at the Palace Hotel Half an
hour later he had ordered a $50 suit of
clothes from Raphael's and instructed
the salesman to have it delivered to
his rooms at the Palace, where he
would pay for it. When the delivery
man called Corbett donned the suit and
then requested the man to wait in his
room while he went to the Office to
cash a check.
He never returned to the hotel. Yes
terday the same young man registered
at the California Hotel as Harry Cor
bett and wife of New York" He said
his wife was coming to the city on a
later train.
During the afternoon the fellow Wis
tied the jewelry stores of A Hirsch-
man. C. H Kenn and William Flinde-
mann and from each ordered jewelry
in sums of $3.50 to SITS. He had the
goods delivered to him, c. o. D., at the
hotel. and when they arrived, under
the pretense of showing them to his
wife, he entered an adjoining room
and vanished.
Later the police were notified and be-
fore evening they had the young man
safely behind the prison bars
To the detectives the prisoner said
his right name is John Kuger and that
he is a soldier, but there is a suspicion
that he is an experienced crook and a
thorough investigation of his past is to
be made.

industrial enterprises in Korea, as well
as the considerable number of Japanese
subjects resident in that country, the
imperial Government will not impede
the development Of commercial and in
dustrial relations between Japan and
Korea.
Behind this thin veil each party has
striven to do the most of everything
to further its own ends or thWart the
aims of the other and now the crisis is
at hand.
Russia, safely intrenched by conces-
sion and actual military occupation in
Manchuria. needs and proposes to have
the same dominion over Korea and the
adjoining waters. 1t is a matter of
most vital interest to Japan, involving
as it does the control of Korean Straits
and the Sea of Japan, and ultimately.
perhaps, her own national independ-
ence, that Russia should be halted now
