SEARCH IN VAIN FOR

New York Police Are Inclined to Ae-

KILLING Editor

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Although half
a dozen detectives have been continu-
ously engaged on the case, no progress
has been made in running down the
murderer of Jacob II. Thompson, vet
eran exchange editor of this city, who
met his death Thursday night.
How a man without an enemy could
be brutally assaulted and robbed in a
quiet hotel, such as the one where Mr..
Thompson lived, and without attracting
the slightest attention from occupants
of rooms on both sides of the apart
ment in which the tragedy occurred, is
something which passes the under
standing of the police.
Something in the nature of substan-
tiation for the theory that the murder
was merely for the purpose of robbery
and that the deed was done by some
one familiar with the conditions inside

IMMIGRATION OFFICER
TELLS OF FRAUDS
Says Deception Is Practiced in Italy
to Get Peasants to Sail for

By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12-Dr. Nor
ris Fisher Berg of New York, an agent
of the bureau of immigration, who was
sent abroad to investigate aliens
afflicted with loathsome and contagious
diseases, today made his report to the
department of commerce and labor.
He says that after a very careful
study in eastern and southern Europe,
he is compelled to report that steam
ship companies can prevent these un-
desirable classes from coming to the
United States. The steamship COM
panies, he says are doing a great deal
now, but they have not reached the full
limit of helpfulness.
He charges that there are great
many frauds, particularly in Italy,
practiced in getting immigrant passen-
gers for steamships coming to this
country, and that one of the greatest
evils is the employment of runners"
who go through the country and picture
to the peasants that all America is a
land of milk and honey" The report
does not make any specific recommen-
dations.

FEARS HOSTILE RECEPTION
Japanese Minister Thinks komura
VIII Have UnfriendIy Welcome


SEATTLE, Sept. 12.-That Baron Ko-
mura, the japanese peace plenipoten-
tiary, and his party may be met with
a hostile demonstration on his arrival
in Japan is the opinion expressed last
night by Rev. H. Kozaki, a prominent
Japanese minister, who arrived in this
city yesterday to attend the meeting
of the American board of missionaries,
The Rev. Kozaki says, however,
that if the class of people who are
responsible for the present uprising
learn the true conditions of the peace
settlement before the arrival Of Baron
Komura, he may not be molested.
He also states that it is the intention
of his government to take up the work
of enlightening the Chinese imme-
diately, and that there are at present
some 5000 students from the best Chi
nese families attending educational in
stitutions in Japan, some Of them be-
ing young women.
The minister states that unless the
Japanese receive the indemnity agreed
upon as reimbursement for the ex-
penses of taking care of Russian pris-
oners, economic depression may result
for a year or so. If this money is re-
ceived within short time, however,
the danger will be averted.

HAIL POLICE RESIGNATION
Toxic Appreciates conciIiatory Atti-
tude Shown by Government
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
TOXIC, Sept. 12.-The resignation of
Tsunayubi Adachi, chief of the metro
politan police, is hailed with delight
here as showing the conciliatory atti-
tude of the government.
The ii il and other local papers advo-
cate the abolition of the metropolitan
police and the transfer of its authority
to the municipality. The use of such
an independent institution has, it is
believed, died out long ago under the
constitutional form Of government
which now exists. This peculiar insti-
tuition was originated at time when
rebellion against the early Meiji gov.
ernment was apprehended.
A sweeping reform of the present po-
lice system is now deemed necessary
by citizens of the more thoughtful
class.

HONOLULU. Sept. ia dead man
held the wheel of the schooner Charles
Levi Woodbury. during several hours of
the night of August on her trip here
from Laysan island. He was a Jap

clutching the wheel. He was found
still holding it, and the vessel, though
greatly damaged by a hurricane which
is supposed to have caused his death
from overeXertion, reached port in
safety.
The Woodbury. had a terrible exper-
ience. Capt. Harris, who was in COM
mand, says that his vessel was swept
along at the rate of nine knots an hour
without a stitch of canvas on her. He
gave up hope of saving her and said
good-by to Capt. Schemmer of Laysan,
who was a passenger Bulwarks were
knocked away to keep the decks clear
of water and oil was poured on the
ocean. The schooner ran for five days
and nights helpless.
The Japanese who died complained
of feeling unwell when he took his place
as steersman, and he asked COM
panion to stand by him for time. No
one saw him die. He was found dead
and stiff but holding the wheel as
when alive. He had fallen forward bu!
his hands held on and the vessel waa
holding her course fairly well.
