STRONG LIGHT ON THE FATE OF
THE PENINSULA.
Former Minneapolitan Writes that the
Japs Are Exploiting the Country and
the People for All They Are Worth
The Koreans Have No Rights the
Japs Care to Respect.

Paul Doeltz, formerly of Minneapolis,
honor pupil of the South Side high
school, educated for the ministry and
now a missionary and teacher in the
date of July rs, story about the Japs
in Korea that is peculiarly interesting;
now that the Portsmouth treaty will
give the Korean peninsula over to the
Japs to do with as they see fit. Mr..
Doeltz spent some time in Korea dur
ing the past year and writes as fol-
lows from personal observation:
"The fact most patent to the traveller
in Korea is the dominance of the jap
anese. It is very evident that it is only
a question Of a few years until Korea
termination on the part Of Japan is in
dictated not only by the fact that Jap
anese influence is fast supplanting all
other influences at the capital, but also
by the plans for, colonization which
are evidently being projected. Japan
csc emigrants are flooding the country
from one end to the other, and every
the tide of Korean emigrants to Ha-
waii and Mexico, in both of which
countries there are already considerable
colonies.
Crowding Out Natives.
Gin Fusan, where they have been the
longest, the japanese outnumber the
! Koreans, while business is almost en-
tirely in their hands. Indeed, in the
part of the town, Koreans are allowed
to open shops only on one of the mino1
streets, all the rest Of the place being
! open exclusively to the Japs. At Mok
pc, the principal port on the southwes
coast, there is a thriving Japanese set
Element which controls all the business
Of the port. Here, at very heavy ex
pense, the Japanese. are retaining I,
| large tract Of valuable land along tn,
riverfront. In Seoul the Japanese ar,
buying property as fast as they cal
persuade the owners to sell, sometime
/ offering enormous prices as an induce
ment. It is estimated that over one
third Of the city is owned by them now
and Japanese shops are appearing Of
every hand like mushrooms. At Ping

Decisions Affect Wonderful Power

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Brainerd, Mimi. Sept. Judge W. s. Nc
Clenahan has denied the petition Of the Min
nesota Canal Power company in a proceeding
commenced in this district about year ago,
which has to do with the diverting Of the
waters which flow north in the northern part
of st. Louis county SO that they will flow south,
the purpose being to run the waters to the
head Of the lakes for the proposed big water
power plant. ~ ~
The scheme Of the power company is to build
dams in lakes and streams in the northern part
of the state. The principal lake is Birch.
The water flows north there and the object was
to dam the outlet and divert the water in a
| southerly direction and by building reservoirs
and dams, and digging canals run the water
| to the heights above Duluth. At the heights
| there is fall Of 600 feet and the plant would
be the greatest in the northwest
The water power company asked the court
that commission be appointed to assess the
| damages which might arise from the proposed
| project. E. '.....s
The Koochiching corporation, Of International
Falls, is the principal antagonist to this scheme.
| 1t contends that It's proposed great water power
project at international Falls would be worked
| a great injury, holding that the diversion OF
| the waters would lessen the head. ..'.=#.
| Judge McClenehan denied the petition on the
! ground that the articles of Incorporation Of the
water power company were not such that he
could grant it the privileges asked.

in the construction Of all the railroads
in Korea, unlike the railroads in Japan
and China, is all American. "->.~ ...
"All along these railroads, which run

land for miles on either side. In not a
single instance are the stations located
in or even on the edge Of town but
always, even in the case Of large cities,
it lies half a mile or mile away.
Around every station generous plot
has been reserved for the Japanese colo

wake up. For the most part stations are
located on new sites, where in a few
years, thriving Japanese settlements

GAS for the feeling between the two
peoples, that is very apparent also. The
Korean hates the Japanese with q
hatred centuries old, intensified by the
present movement, but his Incidence
makes him helpless against the aggres
sions Of his more active neighbor. The
Japanese treat the Koreans with super
cilious contempt, beating and kicking
them like dogs, regarding or disregard
ing their interests as it suits their owl
pleasure or profit. Much Of the lane
which is controlled by the railroads an6
banks is said to have been obtained al
| far less than its real value, the Korean
farmer being forced to accept the val
uation which the Japanese themselve'
set upon his property. The Dai Ich
Ginko, or First Bank Of Japan, is sait
to have obtained most Of it's holding
by loaning money to impecunious Kore
an mobiles at 10 per cent month. Thi
bank pays 8 per cent on fixed deposit
and it is as solid as the Japanese govern
ment.
Many Of the foreigners in Kore'
think that the doom Of the Korean ma
ton has sounded. In few year
they say, the, Japanese will force tn
Koreans out entirely or will at least re
! strict them to such occupations as the.
themselves do not desire. Doubtless
will be a good thing for the materia
development Of the country to come un
der Japanese control and If the Japa
nese are disposed to treat the Korea

they will do this remains to be seer
i Present indications would lead one t

Mystery Surrounds Shooting of Henry
 kirksy at Jacksonville.

Henry Kirksy. a negro blacksmith, was shot in the woods near the Jacksonville fertilizer factory yesterday. The gun used was a 3S-calibre Smith & Wesson. and it Is said a S2-calibre cartridge was used in lnficting the wound. the ball taking effect in the stomach. Kirl<sy was seen in the woods near dusk with Lizzie James, a notorious character of this city. and it is thought by some that 1t was she that fired the fatal shot. Although the gen. eral report is that Kirksy himself did the shooting, which was wholly due to an &C., cident.
 Kirksy lay in the woods some time after the shooting before ihs body was discov- cred, a fact that tends to confirm the suspicion that the James woman did the shooting. He was attended by pr. Oscar Sargent, who states that his wound is all most necessarily fatal.

DARONS DEFEATED THE OTHER. .BARONS Odd Fellows Victors Over the
 Knights of Pythias GOOD GAME WAS SEEN Several Hundred Half Frozen Fans Saw Two Baron Teams Face
 Each Other Yesterday at
 the Park.
GOOD GAME WAS SEEN

About three hundred half frozen fans faced the chilly winds yesterday after noon and saw the Odd Fellows team of the Barons defeat the Knights of Pythias team of the same bunch. Score: Odd Fellows, 5; K of P, 3.
 Manager Vaughan captained the loos- ing team and Dusty Miller was the ring leader of the winning side, as well as first baseman. Between the times that they were working the Barons kept their arms going like wind mills to keep warm.
 There was plenty of ginger in the game through the necessity of keeping warm. and the rival magnets were always after their men to smoke up.
 The Pitchers.
 Pylant was on the firing line for the winning team and Sallee went down in defeat with the loosers They both pitched nice games and let the oppos- ing teams down with as few hits as any one could have desired, but the Odd Fellows had little the best of the break and won.
 In the second inning both sides secured couple of runs. Murdock led off for the Knights of Pythias with single to center. Mayer hit the ball to Moore, who threw wild to second and both run ners were safe. Mrdock went to third on the play and Mayer to second Gin ger Clarke hit for two bags and the run ners trotted home. OBrien hit for sin gle, but Ginger was held at third.
 For the Odd Fellows Hennessy secured safety with two out, and stole second and then went to third He scored easi- ly on Wagner's single. Wagner stole second and third, and scored on O Brien's passed ball.
 The third produced another run for the Knights of Pythias. Vaughan singled. stole second and scored on Murdock' s single. A run came to the Odd Fellows in the fourth when Moore anchored safe. ly on second on Cowboys error in left Schiap sacrificed him to third and Hen messy uncorked double to left
 Winning Runs.
 The other two runs which won the game came in the seventh, when Schiap singled and came racing home on an error of Mayer, made in trying to field Hennessy's grounder. Hennessy went to third on the same play and scored on Clarkes wild throw to Hafford.
 The game gave the Barons an excel lent bunch of practice. It allowed all the pitchers to get some work, not in the box, but In the field, and 1t limbered the entire bunch up to some extent The weather was cold and the players suf- fered some from that source
 The exhibition was made lively by the coaching of the various players. A per- feet fire of kidding was kept up by both sides. and when Dustv's teano oot in the lead he made life very unhapnv Tor Father Vaughan and others Clarke caught for both teams after the fourth inning, and Fitzpatrick batted for him on both teams.
 The box score was as follows:

The rough grounds were partly responsible for the ragged playing and it is probable that the remaining games will be played on the Lakeview diamond Zwald was in the box for the Sophomores, while Mayer performed for the Seniors The sphere was pounded in all directions by both teams, and the fielders were kept busy chasing it.

We are very much encouraged with the baseball situation al Little Rock. We have a better team there than ever be- fore in the history of the league. l con slider that we are strong in every position, and I judge that we will do well.
 over in Birmingham the team is un- questlonably good. It looked, not so long ago, as though Birmingham was going to be weak, but appearances have changed. The team is made up of young men who play hard all the time, and take chances. Their playing is likely to be a revelation to most of the teams in the league.
 Prospects everywhere look bright. Ev- erything Is going smoothly with the league, and there Is every reason to anti cipate a prosperous season."
