DAVIS TURN
BEFORE DOLE
WANTS THE COURT TO ORDER
BRECKONS TO AMEND HIS BRIEF
ALLEGED MEASUREMENT.

George A. Davis appeared before
United States Judge Dole this morning
with a motion in his disbarment case,
asking the court to order District At
torney Breckons to amend his state
ment of facts, or brief in the case. Da-
Wis motion was partly on the ground
that Breckons had sent a copy to the
United States Attorney General, and
Breckons made objection to this. He
said that neither Davis nor the court
had anything to do with what he sent
to the Attorney General, and that the
court could not order him to change
his correspondence.
Davis motion was as follows:
Robert w. BreckOns, the United
States District Attorney, be required
to forthwith amend the statement of
facts filed by him with the Judge of
this Court on behalf of the United
States to wit; The statements that at
the time OF the institution of the suit
, in Equity of John X. Sumner, by his
next friend, Maria S. Davis VS.. John
X. Sumner, Gulstan F. Ropert, Trustee,
The Oahu Railway and Land Company,
and in the matter of the petition of
Maria S. Davis to have a Guardian ap-
pointed. Sumner was the sole owner of
the harbor front property and wher-
ever and whenever said statement is
made in said statement of facts so filed
as aforesaid the same be required to be
amended by said District Attorney in
conformity with right, truth and JUS
tice."
Davis affidavit stated that in truth
the property in question was in the
hands of Bishop Ropert and was about
to be divided, Sumner to get only $685.
900 Of it, Judge Dole said that Breck-
ons' statement contained this fact and
that taken as a whole 1t appeared to
give the facts correctly. Davis own
statement also gave the facts correctly,
said the court. Judge Dole also said
that he believed Davis pleadings con-
tanned an allegation that Sumner was
the owner of the property The court
agreed to investigate the matter fur.

In favor Of the adoption Of the phonetic

The resolutions, which are almost
exact copies Of those adopted some
time ago by the National Educational

Wisconsin state associations, are the
first step toward a general reform in
the spelling of the English language,
which the educators hope to e realiz-
ed some day.
The presentation of the resolutions

H2 ZNHaLr EA 49,
Paris, Dec. 31.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Paris edition OF

optimism prevailing concerning the far
Eastern situation has been rudely
shaken by the dispatches from Toxic.
The dominant sentiment now Is that
war is Inevitable, says the correspond
ent. A <high military authority, ac-
cepting as a fact that war is a fore
gone conclusion, said to the cores
pondent:
81 presume that when the time
comes the Japanese will effect a land
ing in Korea. Well, what of it, and
what after?" thus indicating that Rus
STA does not propose to take precipi-
tate action in the event Of Japan try
ing to force the situation.
The London Daily Nails Nicolaieff
correspondent says that two Russian
volunteer fleet cruisers, carrying muni-
lions Of war and marines for the far
East, have been recalled to the Black
Sea as the possibility Of their capture
Is feared.

Japan May linen Make Secono Conn
munication to Powers.
Washington, Dec. 31.-With war
staring his country in the face, Mr..
Kogoro Takahira, the Japanese min
lister, was as calm as any. official in
Washington as he sat at his desk at
a late hour preparing dispatches for
transmission to TOXIC and talked with
q newspaper man of the far Eastern
question.
Having called at the state depart
ment and informed the officials of the
gravity with which the Toxic govern
ment views the situation, Mr.. Takahi-
ra said that he with the other officers
of the Japanese foreign service we're
awaiting the answer of Russia to
Japan's last note before making a &C.
ond communication to the powers.
In conversation with the Associated
Press representative Mr.. Takahira
said: L.
81 wish the American people to know
that their many expressions of sym
pathy for my country in the present
crisis have been promptly communi-
Gated to Toxic. and l can give the
strongest assurances that the Japanese
6~OVeIuIuSul dllU Iuc JdpduSoS pSOpiS
profoundly appreciate this renewed
evidence of the friendship Of the Unit
ed States. At a time like this it
would not be expedient to discuss
movements of such world wide inn
portance as now are progressing at
Toxic. You ask me if I think war is
inevitable. I can only say that Japan
is awaiting the arrival of the Rus
sian reply to her last note. Japan
will wait as long as circumstances
seem to Justify, but no longer. We
have been prompt in all u PROPOSE
tions, our counter propositions, and in
fact in all the steps of our negotiations
with Russia. In our last note, we have
stated the minimum proposition which
we car submit to Russia. That coun-
try has the deciding vote, whether
there is to be wal or peace in the far
East. We have done all that we
could"
Mr.. Takahira expressed the hope
that war may yet be averted, but he
regards the outlook as gloomy.
