DIR. J. III. johnson Says Japan
Can Still Put 100000
Soldiers On Battlefield
CAN FIGHT FOR YEARS
Founder Of Y. NJ. G. A. in Far
Off Land Receives Warm
Greeting From Ministers

Japan can put more men in the
field than could France, and, indeed,
she can. still bring to battle 100000
men," said Rev. DR.. ]. H. Johnson yes
,terday when addressing the Methodist
Ministers Association at Epworth Hall.
The doctor, who has spent sixteen
years in Japan, waseexplaining to the
ministers some OF the conditions of the
Mikado's country.
Rich japanese, he said, had as yet
not been called upon to contribute TO
the war, the Government deening it
advisable to hold them back as a pow
erful reserve If needed. Japan was pre-
pared for three years war.
=. In speaking Of the progress of japan
DIR. Johnson told of that country s
young men who had come to America
and Europe to receive an education
and had returned filed with knowledge
of Western lands. They had then been
given positions of Importance and
trust, hence the progress of Japan.
Another thing the doctor told that
was of interest. In speaking of the
preparation of the Japanese fighting
men, he said that every Japanese was
a soldier at the age of 20, thoroughly
qualified as a fighting man, and, as in
Germany, might be drawn upon for
war.
Dr. G. Smyth told the meeting that
one of the Governors of a Chinese pro-
vince had made a request for New
Testaments and in compliance with
the wish 1000 of the books had been
sent out.
The Congregational Ministers Asso-
citation gave a hearty greeting yester-
day TO Rev. DR.. Albert W. Clark, who
has acted as missionary of the Amer
.can Board of Missions in Bohemia for
thirty-two>y years. DIR. Clark has found
ed eighteen churches in Bohemia, Mo-
ravia and Vienna, and also founded
the first Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation in Prague, in 1886. The Austrian
Government, which was at first in
clined to oppose the association, not
knowing what such an organization
proposed to do, now acknowledges that
the work helps to make better citizens
and to-day, said the doctor, there are
eighteen Young Mems Christian Asso-
Citations under his supervision, while
there are other branches of the asso-
citation independent of his direction.
The election of officers for the COM
ing six months resulted in the choice
of Rev. Huber Burr, president; Rev.
w. H. Atkinson, vice president; Rev.
t. Earl, secretary, and Rev. f. H.
Mar treasurer.
A called meeting of the presbytery
was held yesterday at Presbyterian
House. 900 Sacramento street Rev.
DIR. John Dixon of the Home Mission
airy Board spoke for some time before
the meeting, which was largely at
tended.
The Christian Church Ministers AS
ISOLATION met yesterday, Rev. p. c.
Macfarlane in the chair. The an
nouncement that the Christian church
will hold it's next convention in San
Francisco In 1905 was hailed with en-
thusiasm.

formation from Cooper that three
young men had sold him 220 pounds Of
new sheet lead. The sale price was So.
The junk dealer paid them 81 20 and
they were to return yesterday morning
to get the balance. When they ap-
peared for the rest of the money Tay-
lor was lying in wait for them He
expected but one man, as Cooper had
said nothing about three.
AS soon as the crooks entered the
store Taylor grabbed two of them,
husky youths, and attempted to hand
cuff them together. The third man ran
and made good his escape. desper-
ate fight ensued between tie remaining
two thieves and the officer. Taylor
threw one of them, Charles Franklin,
to the floor, at the same time keeping
his hold on the other. Franklin's

blood spurted out.
The fight continued for some min
utes, the junk dealer standing para
lyzed with fright and offering no as,
sistance to the officer. AS the three
men swayed back and forth they
came in contact with the shelves
knocking down a lot of iron pipe. In
the scuffie Franklins pal broke loose
and ran up Mission TO Eighth and
down the latter street to Howard,
where he was lost to view.

members of the profession" the man
read the allegations in his wife's pc
tition and then said, My wife is the
last woman in the world to whom /
would intrust my property, because
she is Of a very nervous temperament.

their mother, whether she was right or
wrong; he thought they should not in
-terfere in affairs that were not their
business and he never interfered with
them. He insisted that instead Of be-
ing diseased he was pretty healthy
looking man."
After this he produced written
statement, and with all the grace of an
attorney at the bar, said, Il have some
thing more here, your Honor, but as
this is not a divorce case, perhaps 1T is
not in your jurisdiction" The Judge

turning it to Maacke when it was nm
ished. 1t was then learned from his
attorney that Maacke will sue for di-
verce.
