ALLEGED LAND FRAUD,
Government Wins Its Second Import

San Francisco. March 31-T'he Govern
ment won its second important point in
the technical battle over the alleged land
fraud case today. when Commissioner
Heacock denied the motion of the de-
PENDANTS. A F. Hyde and Henry p. Di-
mond. to dismiss the complaint and dis
charge them. The same motion was denied
last week. but was later denied on ad-
ditional grounds The principal line OF
attack on the government position by
the defendants attorneys has been
against the Jurisdiction of the court IN
which the indictments were returned. The
claim was that the acts charged in the
indictment were committed in the states
or Oregon and Washington If committed
at all and indictments should have been
found in one OF those states.
Commissioner Heacock. in deciding
against the contention OF the defendants,
said that the certified copy of the in

PERRY RELIEF FUND
Americans and Japanese Have
Meeting at Toxic.
WAR CHARITY STARTED
Will Be Pushed in Cities Of
This Country.

Toxic, March 31.-At meeting OF
Americans and japanese in this city to-
day in commemoration of the fftieth an
niversary of the signing Of the Perry
| States, an American war charity, called
| The Perry memorial relief fund, was OF
gained with much enthusiasm. The sum
of s37,5oo was subscribed at once and il
was decided to organize committees in all
| the larger cities of the United States
Count Okuma, at one time japanese
| premier, made the principal address at
the ceremony. He said that as the Jap
anese became more familiar with the peo-
pie Of the United States they could moi
but admire them for their love of justice
and humanity, which were such promi-
nent national traits.
Bishop McKim of the American Epis-
copal mission, suggested the organization
of the charity. He said the memorial to
Perry would be craven not on a pillar
OF stone, but on the hearts of the two
great peoples. Charity is beyond the pale
Of politics, the speaker continued, and
this movement has no significance except
as an appeal TO those broad humanitar-
ian synpathies which make universal
brotherhood over all the earth.
Bishop McKims proposal was at once
approved and acted upon. The American
Asiatic society. headed the subscription
list with $1,000: Baron Iwasaki and Baron
Mitsu also gave 5000 each; Prince Shi-
E-azu. head OF the SatsuD'a clan, ano
Pr nee Mort, head Of the Choshu clan,
subscribed $500 each: ]. w. Copman and
d. C Blake gave $1,000 each, and Count
lnolye, Count Okuma and United States
Minister Griscom subscribed $500 each.
T. F. Smith. president of the American
Asiatic society; j. w. Chairman the rep
resentative in Toxic of the Standard Oil
company; j. Howard, of the Pacific Mail
company; d. o. Blake, of the American
Trading company; Prof. j. O. Swift and
Count Kabayama. president of the So
yeda Industrial bank, were appointed
mmittee to take charge Of the funds.
Count Matsugata proposed cheers for
the president of the United States and
MIR. Grisc7rn replied Ivy calling for cheers
for the emperor o; Japan. There wele
demonstrations of satisfaction when the
total Of the SUBSCRIPTIONS was announced
and the ectirg vas brought to a clos,
with the singing of the national anthems
of the United States and Japan.

PATRIOTIC JAPANESE
Public Enthusiasm Appeared
in Substantial Deeds.
TO PROVIDE NEEDED FUNDS
Gold and Silver in Ornaments
Freely offered
10 PROVIDE NEEDED FUNDS

New York. March 31.-A copy of the
Japan Weekly Mail OF February 20. just
received in this city, tells of the public
enthusiasm for the war, as evidenced in
a disposition to provide the government
with all necessary funds. A large meet
| ing of business men and journalists was
| held at the Imperial Hotel in Toxic on
February II. Among other propositions
| advanced by speakers, Mr. Sonoda Ko-
kichi proposed that the people contribute
| their stores of gold and silver objects of
art and ornaments. He offered all his own
possession of that nature. including sill
yer vases presented to him by the Imper-
ial Household Department The paper
continues the account of the meeting as
follows:
The meeting then una nimously resolved
that the support of the whole nation was
essential to strengthen the army ana
navy and that the best way to give that
supper was to relieve the minds of the
soldiers and sailors of all anxiety on ac-
count of their families. Therefore il was
the duty of the nation: a. to subscribe
readily to the war funds; 81 to economize
as far as possible all administrative out
lay, whether of the central government,
so as to employ in the vital interests of
the state the money thus saved; and 80
TO devise means of assisting small capt.
talists SO as to promote the general eff
cheney of the countrys wealth-earning
mechanism.
IN &c hot nFty
has a greater OF less sum of money sunk
in gold and silver ornaments of various
kinds and that If these ornaments were
handed to the treasury very large
amount of specie would become available
without any diminution or the countrys
floating capital Mr. Sonoda did not stop
at mere advice. He collected all such OBJ
jects in his own possession, including gold
cups and vases given to him by the En-
peror. and he handed the whole to the
Bank Of Japan. On every side We hear OF
people following his example. The En-
peror's order that the old gold and sill
yer coins in the Imperial Treasury as
we'll as all the bullion should be similarly
dealt with, is a sequel of Mr. Sonoda's
suggestion. and those that know the Jap
ture will become the order of the day.
The spirit of patriotism that prevails is
something extraordinary. Even people in
the lowliest circumstances are setting
aside sums saved by daily efforts of hard
in order that they may con-
tribute something to the cause of coun-
try. There must still be great quantities |
Of oban and koban stored in the strong
rooms of wealthy people. and that the !
aggregate value of the gold and silver !
in the various households is |
immense and cannot be doubted. What !
we hope is that these things will neither |
be broken up or sold. They can be kept |
by the Bank as a strong reserve against |
a crisis which will never come, we are
confident. Many of these objects have an
art value very much greater than their |
intrinsic worth

The agonizing itching and burning
OF the skin, as in eczema; the fright

as in acne and ringworm; the awful

Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolv-

doubt. No statement is made regard
ing them that is not justified by the
strongest evidence. The purity and
sweetness, the power to afford immedi-
ate relief, the certainty of speedy and
permanent cure, the absolute safety
and great economy, have msde them
the standard skin cures, blood purifiers
and humour remedies of the civilized
world.

the surface Of crusts and scales and
soften the thickened cuticle. Dry,
without hard rubbing, and apply Cuti-

SCHOOL BOOK COMMISSION,
1t Will Meet to Select High School
Books May 2.

Topeka, March 31.-The state school text
book commission will meet in Superin-
tendent Dayhoffs Office May to buy
$4,000 worth of books for use in the
high schools. The session of the board
will probably last a week
All of the big publishing companies
have submitted samples of high school
books, except the American Book COM
pany. As the American Book company
captured a large share of the business
awarded by the board two years ago, the
fact that it has not sent samples causes
some comment.
1t is not likely. however, that the
American company has any intention of
staying out of the state this spring
Mayor A. w. Clancy, representing the
American company, was in Kansas City
last week. While there he met several
Kansas politicians who are supposed to
have influence with the board 1t is not
known whether he met any members of
the board.
The books to be purchased in May will
be used in the high schools of the state
for five years. The members of the
board of commissioners are:
Superintendent, i. L. Dayhoff, president;
D. o McCray. Topeka; C. G. Swingle.
Manhattan: w. T. Kendrick Leaven-
worth; S. l. Hale. La Crosse; j. c.
Starr, Scott City; John Madden Emporia:
\. c. Butcher. Argentine; A B. Carney,
Concordia.
There is a suit in the supreme court
which may result in another purchase OF
books for the graded schools. The case
started by G. c. Clemens against the
American Book company. in which Crane
& Co. are interested, probably will be de-
cided next week. The proceeding is to
have the American contracts for $3.50, 600
worth of books be declared void because
the contracts were made before the COM
pany complied with the Bush corpora
ton law.
The United States supreme court lately
held that the Bush law is valid.
