Paris. May 15.-The popular out
burst at Toxic against France leads to

territorial ambitions in Indo-China,
which the French must sooner or later
defend. Although the Japanese Off
cials disclaim any such intentions this
belief has taken firm hold of the

war which, it is said, will be inevitable

thorities, while not considering that
trouble is imminent, share the public
belief that it is essential to make
speedy preparation for the defense of

cial credits are being asked for. the
ministries of marine and war are con-

EYEoPENER FOR THE POWERS
Japan's Willingness to Assume Menac.
ing Attitude Towards France.

St. Petersburg, May 15.-The danger
of serious complications over the gues-
tion of French neutrality is regarded
as over for the present. Throughout
there has been a disposition to make
allowance for the vexation and irrita-
tion manifested by Japan in the desire
to safeguard her interests at moment
when the future of the war Is Staked
upon the issue of the coming naval
battle. Nevertheless her Willingness
to assume menacing attitude towards
France upon the strength of the Brit
ish alliance is regarded as being an
eyeopener for the powers. Despite
the provocative tone of the British
press, however, the British govern
ment used it's influence at Toxic In a
pacific direction. However, the harsh
things said of France and Russia In
the British papers have so far as the
Russian public is concerned proved to
still further inflame the feeling of hos
tility against Great Britain, which has
always been regarded as Russias arch
enemy. Premier Balfour's speech in
the house OF commons May J. ton the
defense of ladia) from this standpoint
came at a particularly inopportune
time and the comments of some OF the
American papers which have been ca
bled here have also aroused some re-
sentiment.

PROTECTION NECESSARY,
Armed Deputies In Evidence on Chi
cago Streets.

| Chicago. May 15.-Business In the
teaming line Is proceeding ON q larger
| scale than on any previous day since
the strike was inaugurated. Wagons
move along the streets with smaller
police protection than heretofore. AT
all the larger retail stores, however, as
well as upon wagons throughout the
city armed deputy sheriffs are much in
evidence.
Martin Lacy, nonunion colored
teamster, is a new victim of strike
violence. While driving wagon on
Wentworth avenue he was dragged
from the vehicle by six men and beaten
into insensibility. Lacy was taken to
the Provident hospital, where 1t was
found he had severe wounds In the
head.
The death of Harry Grady at Provi-
dent hospital during the day added an
other fatality to the list attributed to
the teamsters' strike Grady and his
brother William were called to the
rear of their home in the night and
without apparent provocation shot
down. A bullet entered Harry Grady's
head, but his brother escaped with
less serious injuries and is recovering
Grady brothers, who are team own
ers, had delivered load of picture
frames TO one of the boycotted stores.

AS VIEWED AT KANSAS CITY
Police Believe Opium Smoking Caused
Croker's Death.


Kansas City, May 15.-Interest in
the mysterious death on a train be-
tween Kansas City and Newton, Kan.
of Herbert V. Croker, son of Richard
Croker of New York city, centered dur
ing the day around Charles Wilson,
the Coates House negro porter, who
placed the young New Yorker on the
train.
Wilson, who is thirty years old, was
arrested after midnight and held pend
ing investigation. To the police he
had told the story of meeting Croker
in the barroom of the Coates House,
where Wilson was employed, of con-
Quoting Croker to an opium joint and
an hour later taking him to the train.
Wilson said they had reached the
Union station only few minutes be-
fore time for the train to start. After
paying the carriage fare, Wilson said,
Croker had between SIT or SIS left.
Croker tried to get Pullman ticket,
but was unable to do so and the two
went into the chair car. After the ex-
animation of Wilson Chief of Police
Hayes gave 1t as his opinion that Gro
ker had died from the effect of smok-
ing opium too fast.
