mitted to Baron Hayashl. the japanese
Minister in London, translation pub
lished in the London Evening Newspaper
OF an interview with the Minister, print
ed here in the Matin. Baron Hayashl dc
clared the Matin correspondent, had faith
fal reproduced his utterances, and that
he was ready to repeat them.
In the interview Baron Hayashl, besides
reiterating his former published state
ments that japan will insist on Il signed
treaty recognizing Chinas rights in Man
churia, is quoted as saying:
IF Russia refuses this treaty we will
light
us your government unalterably de-
;erraincd on this course?' the Minister
was asked.
Absolutely" he is said to have re-
piled. I'VE will not take promises. Too
many promises have been broken and
now we insist upon a signed treaty"
The interviewer then asked
Suppose Russia's answer is conclatory
and reasonable. but refuses TO go to the
extent of signing the treaty you desire.
will -FOUR government then have recourse
to arms?''
THAT is precisely what ! mean.'' re-
piled the Minister.
''If the government of His Majesty
King Edward VII asks Japan not to make
war;" continued the interviewer, "and
requests her to accept Russia's reply, what
will Japan do?''
eve shall greatly object to such inter.
vcntion. even coming from the King. We
desire to be left alone in our duel with
Russia. We do not want support Or as
sistance. We desire to settle our own &C.
count with Russia
In terminating the interview Baron
Hayashi was asked:
'Then you say that if Russia refuses 20
sign a treaty recognizing China's rights
in Manchuria that means WARP"
THAT will be war;, replied the Minister.

that he believed it to be the view of his
government, and that authority had been

washington, Feb. Immediately on
recent OF news of the accident to the
Iowa, Secretary Moody sent a dispatch
for full particulars and ordering the Iowa
to proceed at once to New York for ex-
animation and repairs.
This second explosion on the Iowa
within less than year has cast gloom
over the officials of the Navy Depart
ment. The cause of the explosion on the
Pensacola last year in which there was
considerable damage to the ship remains
a mystery.
The alarming features of these two ac-
cidents is the apprehension growing in
naval circles that the older guns of the
navy are not strong enough to permit
the use of smokeless powder in them 1t
is declared that none of the guns on the
Iowa had been fired much over hundred
times and the officials discredit theory
that the life of any of that vessels guns
has been exhausted.
1t was said today that the Iowa had
recently been supplied with new allot-
ment of powder which had been thor
oughly tested.

butt OUT BRAINS WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Surprise Expressed at
Disappearance OF Jones
and DortCh.

There was considerable comment IN his
warrant for H. F. Dortch, Jr., was not
served because his whereabouts were not
known, and likewise the sudden disap-
pearance of C. C. Jones of Goldsboro., al
ten selling out his billiard parlor and
drawing his deposit out OF the bank, was
the occasion of many expressions OF sur
| prise on the part of citizens.
| Many people have of course doubted
all along that Jones made bona ide loan
! of $500 on two one thousand dollar bonds
to a man that he had never seen before
and of whom he knew nothing. The idea
| OF man with two one thousand dollar
bends giving both of them as security for
loan of $500 has always made some
people doubt that the transaction was
straight one. and has led to the belief
| in the minds of some chat MIR. Jones could
| give information that would lead to the
arrest and conviction of the robber that
| Jew open Mr.. Godfrey's safe and stole
those two bonds and that 81 800.
| OF course, all that may be unfoundea
but the unlocked for departure OF MI.
! Jones within day or two before the
bench warrant was issued has caused that
suspicion to be confirmed in the minds
IF many people.
At present nobody seems to know where
either Mr.. Dortch or Mr. Jones can be
found. II they can be located, and IN
ease they may be found out of the State,
he Governor will probably make requis-
lions for them upon the Governors Of
whatever State to which they may be
traced.
There was another phase of the situation
that was heard commented upon yester
day. Not few remarked that it was
strange that after the apparent willing
ness of Mr. Jones to testify to what he
knew of the matter before the grand
jury, he should absent himself so soon
before the issuance of the bench war
rant.
To be sure. that kind of talk may be
a great injustice to Mr. Jones. He may
have left Goldsboro on some business, and
may soon make his whereabouts known.

are made part OF the liquid product.
The result is product that does
what oxygen does. Oxygen gas, as
you know, is the very source OF vital
ity, the most essential element of life.
Liquozone is vitalizing tonic with
which no other known product can
compare. Yet it is germicide SO GER
tain that we publish on every bottle
an offer of ST. 900 for a disease germ
that it cannot kill.
The reason is that germs are vege-
tables; and Liquozone, which--like
oxygen-is life to an animal, is deadly
TO vegetal matter. 1t is carried by
the blood to every cell of every tissue,
and no touch of impurity, no germ OF
disease, can exist where Liquozone
goes.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1904-02-07
Kills Inside Germs

The greatest value of Liquozone
lies in the fact that it kills germs IN
the body without killing the tissues
too. And no man knows another way
to do it. Any drug that kills germs. is
a poison, and it cannot be taken IN
ternally. Medicine is almost helpless
in any germ disease, as every physl-
clan knows.
Liquozone will do for sick humanity
more than all the drugs in the world
combined. 1t does what no skill can
accomplish without it. 1t cures dis
eases which medicine never cured.
