ENGLISH GOODS
ARE bOYCOTTED
Chinese Merchants of Shang-
hal Are Now Striving to
Suppress the Agitation
PROVES A BOOMERANG
Trade Being Diverted to
Tientsin, Where Movement
Has Made No HeadWay

SHANGHAI, Aug. 16.-The Chinese For
eign Board has ordered Chou Flu, the
Viceroy of Nankng, to make every effort
to suppress the boycott, which has now
been extended to English goods imported,
it is supposed, by an American firm.
Chinese merchants have asked the gen.
eral Chamber of Commerce to assist them
to suppress the movement fearing that
serious financial trouble will result. Much
of the trade of Shanghai is already being
transferred to Tientsin. where General
Yuan Shi Kai, Viceroy Of Pechili. has
prohibited the boycott.
MANILA, Aug. 1.-THE Chinese mer-
chants here are secretly supplying the,
Chinese in Moroland with funds to carry
on the boycott against American goods.
The Chamber of Commerce has petit
TONED the members Of the Taft party
that the Moro provinces should not be
controlled by the Filipino Assembly, but
should be created through an act of Con-
gress Territory Of the United States
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Consm Gen.
eral Lay at Canton; China, has cabled
the State Department that the Viceroy
of that province has issued a proclanna-
ton warming the people MOTTO intimi-'
date any persons who desire to purchase
American goods and not to commit any
acts of violence So far it does not ap-
pear that the proclamation has had any
effect.

INDEMNITY OR NO PEACE.
japanese journal Says Russia Must Pay
Costs of War.


TOXIC, Aug. 16.-rhe Asahi. in dis
cussing the proceedings of the peace
conference at Portsmouth. regrets that
Japan omitted to demand the epen door
IN Siberia and the opening of Siberian
rivers 70 the navigation of the world.
Vladivostok, as free port, it declares,
would not benefit Japan much, but it
would greatly assist; the development
Of American commerce
The Nichi Nichi tomorrow will say:
''The continuance of tha conference
is indicative of a hopeful prospect for
the conclusion of peace"
The paper declares that if the Rus
SLAMS had rejected absolutely the ques-
tions of reimbursement and the cession
of Saghalien Island the Japanese would
have withdrawn from the conference.
These demands are equally important
with the Korean and Manchurian ques-
tions.
"Japans victories have been realized
by vast sacrifice of money and blood,
it says. Without the prospect of Rus
sia's compliance in the payment of war
expenses and the transfer of Saghalien
Island there is no reason why the con-
ference should be continued"
The Nichi Nichi expresses the belief
that the Russian delegates divulged the
nature Of the Japanese demands and
suggests that the Japanese delegates
abandon the plan of secrecy and keep
their people informed as to the pro-
gress of the conference.

Charged With Keeping

From Her.

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 16.-Mrs. Frank
G. Curtis. wife of a Milwaukee auto
mobile sdealer, in substantiation of a
claim to share IN a $1,000. 900 estate,
tells a strange story in which aeon
spiracy figures involving several multi
millionaires
She claims that her father, John Muir
ply. who was a poor prospector In
Nevada in the early sixties, annassed a
fortune and was later killed from am
bush near Carson City. Some time be-
fore his death he had deserted his wife
and two daughters, leaving them in
Chicago. They were ignorant or the
fact that he died possessed of consid-
erable property until it was revealed to
them by papers found in a strong box
in possession of a former bodyguard of
Murphy. Among the papers, it is said,
is a will bequeathing the estate to the
two daughters.
1t is charged that a number of inter-
ested persons some of whom are known
nationally, have kept the facts from be-
coming public.

OLD FIGHT is RESUMED
Construction of. Road Shows
Recent Division of Idaho

Special Dispatch to The Call


TACOMA, Aug. 16-The Wallula Pacific
Railroad Company, Incorporated to-day by
men representing the Northern. Pacific
Railway, will build 300 miles of railroad
from Wallula to Vancouver Washington,
and probably from Kalama to the mouth
of the Columbia opposite Astoria. The
company is incorporated by l.. Gerlinger
of Portland, G. M Lyons and James
Stapleton of Vancouver.
For years past the Northern Pacific has
been perfecting its right of way down the
north bank ofuthe Columbia and prepar-
ing to build a water gradesrailroad paral-
leling the Oregon Railroad and Naviga-
ton Company's line down the south bank
Of the Columbia. The effect OF the new
road will be to give the Northern Pacific
Short Line an easy grade into Oregon,
while now its Oregon business is carried
across the Cascade Mountains via Puget
Sound. !.
For fve5years the Northern Pacific has
been epdeavoring to arrange an entrance
into Portland over the Hartman line,
offering in return trackage from Port
land to Puget Sound. Hartman refused
and has announced his intention of build
ing an independent line to the Sound
The building of the Wallula Pacific
Railroad is an act of warfare against
the Hartman lines. despite. the recent di-
vision of Idaho territory between the Hill
and Hartman systems. The building of
the road will be followed by. the construc
tion of million dollar bridge across the
Columbia at Vancouver, giving the North
ern Pacific a short entrance into Port
land.

BUYS A CASTLE
He NEVER SAW
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-English real es-
tate agents declare that deal in their
line of business never has been closed
with as little formality as one just
made by which Paul Kester the Ameri-.
can playwright, has acquired an old
English castle. This honored and his
torical piece of England--Angill Cas-
tle-was purchased by Kester without
even looking at it, in a period only
equal to the time consumed by the
transmission of the documents, photo
graphs and money; and the transaction
has completely staggered every one on
this side of the water who had any
thing TO do with 1t.
The manner in which Angill Castle
was bought by Mr.. Kester was ex-
planned to me by one of the interested
parties. 1t seems that the author Of
Sweet Nell of Old Drury' had made
up his mind to live in, England for some
time, the better to complete an un-
named play which he has in hand, as
well as for the purpose of being in the
atmosphere of English life and absorb
ing local color for the establishment Of
future work. When this had been de-
cided upon Mr.. Kester requested his
American lawyer to ask his London le-
gal connection to select a place which
met certain requirements. 1t was to be
an ancient place with a history. yet
suitable for comfortable occupation.
The instructions were speedily car
ried out and within twenty-four hours
after Mr.. Kester received all the de-
tailed particulars and a number of
photographs of the property and its
surroundings he cabled the funds to
make the initial payment to bind the
trade.
Altogether less than four weeks was
necessary for this deal to be entered
upon and concluded In this time Mr..
Kester and his family moved from their
previous residence in Fairfax County.
Virginia, and resettled In Angill Cas-
tie. in Westmoreland County, England.
Incidentally, I hear that Fred Terry
and Julia Nelson, who will produce Mr..
Kester's latest success Dorothy o. the
Han this fall. will visit Mr.. Kester at
his North OF England home before they
take up next seasons work in the
provinces.
Few places could have been selected
so well adapted for serious literary
wor kas Angill Castle. All the beauties
Of rural England are in the neighbor-
hood and the place is nine miles from
anywhere as my informant expressed
it. 1t might be added that this is an
inconceivable distance in England.

BURGLARS ENTER
PEASE'S HOME
Special Policeman Captures
George Lambert, Who Is
Seen to Leave the House
CAUGHT AFTER CHASE
Prisoner Pulls a Revolver
and Is Believed to Be
Crook With Bad Record

The home of Richard II. Pease, presi-
dent OF the Goodyear Rubber Company,
at $500 Pacific avenue, was burglarized
last night and valuables amounting to
several thousand dollars were stolen.
Special Policeman II. Hilbush noticed
two men leave a house in the neighbor-
hood of Pease's house and he followed
them. After a chase of several blocks
enc of them, who gives his name as
James Lambert and says he is from
Chicago, was arrested and there is no
doubt that the police have one of the
two cuIprits.
Hilbush's suspicion was aroused early
in the evening by the actions Of two
strange men in the neighbOrhoOd Of
Pierce street and Pacific avenue. He
kept watch on them for some time. but
later lost track of them. While coming
down Pacific avenue after II O'Clock last
night ne noticed two men coming out OF
residence with a bundle He could not
tell Just what house it was, as he was
half a block away.
The strangers. on seeing the special
policeman. took to their heels. HifUr1sh
gave pursuit. and, after a chase Of some
blocks, Lambert fell as he was crossing
Broadway at Fillmore street Hilbush
covered Rim with revolver. but not
until he was forced to do so by Lambert,
who made an effort to draw a pistol.
Lambert was taken to the North End
station and he will be charged with rob-
berry. The police say be is a desperate
character with a record.
None of the stolen goods We're found In
the prisoners possession. but Hil5ush says
the plunder was passed to a PAL who
was fleet of foot and made his escape.
Lambert says his companion was known
to him by the name of Jimmy.
Police were sent out TO find whether
any houses IN the neighborhoOd were en-
tered and after an investigation it was
found that the Pease's home had been en-
tered and burglarized. The Pease fam
ily are in the country and the residence
was In charge of watchman. who was
absent at the time OF the burglary.
