JAPAN LOOKING AHEAD

LONDON. May 26.-Japan has been
showing great activity of late in buy
ing up second hand merchant steam
ers, and she is still in the market for
more. 1t is evident that the Jap
anese are looking forward to a great
revival in their trade as soon as the
war is over, and shipowners who have
their vessels in the east have consid-
cradle expectations. But apart from
that the Japanese are inquiring
through their agents in London and.
elsewhere for suitable vessels, chief
ly iron steamers of 2000 to 5000 tons
burden, built In the eighties, which.
being rather below the standard for
European trade. can be picked up
cheap. Many such have changed
hands this year, and the present
month In particular has seen quite
number of old tramp steamers
transferred to Japan. The disposal
of these steamers is Kidding the
western freight market of good
deal of old tonnage which can very
readily be spared, and will, If 1t goes
on at the present rate, produce de-
mand for new boats which will be-
very welcome to American and Euro
pean shipbuilders.

INVESTIGATING
STRANGE FIRE

Detectives are investigating the fire
which was started in the old fire
station at 121a Main avenue, near
Division street, early yesterday morn
ing.
There is every indication that the
fire was of incendiary origin and, but
for the fortunate discovery of the
flames before they had gained head
way, the lives of the sleeping in
mates would have been sacrificed.
The fire was discovered about 2
o'clock yesterday morning by bar
tender named Gibson, who rooms in
the house which is conducted by a
Mrs Moore. now out of the city.
Gibson generally goes to bed about
IL o'clock, but happened to be late
yesterday morning. On ascending the
stairs he discovered the fire and turn
ed i'm an alarm.
When the fire department arrived
the bed and furniture in one room
were blazing The flames were quick
ly exiting uished almost before half
OF the dodgers were awakened.
After daylight it was discovered
that the bed, furniture and carpets in
vacant room had been saturated
with kerosene and then fired.
AS yet there is no clew to the fire
bug.

Reed would raise in his voice and in
crease his demonstrating sobs the la
mentations of his sympathizers
would grow stronger.
Seaman, who owns the barber shop
at 226 Riverside avenue, testified
that he was afraid that Reed would
kill him. He said that Reed, who
was employed as a barber, had shown
signs of a nervous breakdown for
some time and that one pay day he
refused his pay, following it up an
other day by threatening to cut Sea-
man with a knife if the pay was not
quickly forthcoming
Then, Seaman says, Reed got the
idea in his head that he must buy
the shop. He drew up papers for
the sale and from that on made life
burden to his employer by calling
several times a day to demand that
the sale should be made.
One day Reed appeared with
knife and a revolver to force the de-
mand for a sale and this frightened

CHICAGO, May 26.-The building
industry of Chicago is rapidly being
tied. up by the transfers strike.
Fresh complications appeared today
In sympathetic strike of the car
penters and other building workmen.
At dozen buildings the contractors
faced the alternative of sending back
the consignments of lumber delivered
by nonunion transfers or having
strike on their hands. In a number
OF instances the lumber was accepted
by the contractors and the workmen
quit. 1t is predicted that nearly TO-
600 will be out before night, includ-
Ing the furniture makers, lumber
handlers and carpenters. The first
lumber mill to shut down was that
OF the Lands company. where 40
workmen were laid off. The indica-
lions are that If the strike continues,
the whole building industry will be at
standstill
The employers believe the police
are unable to handle the situation
and the pressure on the authorities
to call for troops is increasing.

that he did not know that Seaman
would not sell and that it was only
trick Of his former employer to
squirm out of bargain in which he
was not getting all he expected to.
Reed kept up continual stream of
talking during the examination and
declared Seaman was just trying to
railroad him in order to beat the pro-
posed deal. ....
Reed would grosp the sympathetic
hand of Deputy Sheriff Hone and re-
peat the details, regardless of the
Judge or the examiners. Then his
wife would join in the pleadings, sup
ported by the mother, until the scene
would grow almost unsupportable.

When this decision was made

that If the law did not protect him he
would be compelled to take means to
protect himself If Reed escaped his
family keepers. >
Seaman's fears were somewhat al
layed by the Judge giving orders to
the sheriff to arrest Reed If he was
found in the city and the examination
was concluded.
Reed promised the court that he
would not try to buy the barber shop
and would discontinue his visits to
Seaman, and on these conditions he
was released
