JAPAN IS BITTER
OVER THE TREATY
DON'T LIKE THE CONCESSIONS
MADE AT PORTSMOUTH.
Only Awe For the Mikado Prevents a
Serious Outbreak Which Menaces
Internal Peace.

Toxic, Sept. 1.-The feeling through
out Japan over the concessions made
at Portsmouth by the Japanese pleni-
potentiaries is extremely bitter, and
even the most serious of the newspa-
pers contain bitter comments upon the
action of the envoys. 1t was not until
this morning that the newspapers were
permitted to print anything whatever
regarding the fact that peace had been
arranged, and the newspapers all unite
in guardedly condemning the elder
statesmen, whom 1t is conceded are re-
sponsible for the surrender OK half of
Sakhalien and the withdrawal of the
demand for indemnity. Even the seri-
Gus Jill Shimpo and the Nichi-Nichi
Shimbun, which from the outbreak of
the war have supported the govern
ment, in black loaded columns refer to
the surrender of the chief of the Japa-
nese demands as shameful" and more
excessive than the situation warrant
ed"
There is feeling OF apprehension
among the brokers, and il is likely
that there will be a serious break in
the quotations of the Toxic stock mar
ket today.
Were it not for the awe in which the
mikado is held by his subjects and the
absolute knowledge that he consented
to the action of the japanese ENJOYS, 1t
is likely that there would be a serious
outbreak which would menace the in
ternal peace of the nation. AS it is,
there are grave fears as to how the
army in the field will receive the news.
The proclamation of an armistice is
looked for within the next few hours,
and in the meantime the government
newspapers are expected to soften the
blow to the Japanese pride by pointing
out to the people what the nation
gains by thus ending the war.

TRA0EGY IN MlD-AIR

Greenville, o., Aug. 31.-Prof. Bald
win, the airship wizard, was blown to
bits by the explosion of six sticks of
dynamite in his balloon while 1900
feet in the air today. His wife and two
children were in the crowd of $4,000
people which saw the calamity.
Baldwin was giving daily exhibitions
at the fair. He would ascend several
thousand feet in the air and explode
half a dozen sticks of dynamite at diff
ferent times. Today he had mounted
1,500 feet and his balloon was soaring
as gracefully as a bird. While the
thrilled crowd with heads uplifted was
watching there appeared in the sky
where the airship had been a great
cloud of smoke. A few seconds later
there came down a great boom from
the clouds. The smoke obscured the
view, but those who could continue the
grewsome watch saw fragments Of the
airship falling. Baldwin had literally
been blown to bits by the explosion.
His body was picked up in small frag
ments and removed to morgue.
Baldwin's wife screamed when she
saw the smoke, long before the eXplo-
sion, for her practiced eye told her of
the tragedy which had occurred in the
clouds. She fell in dead faint before
the vast crowd had realized what was
happening.
No one can tell how the accident oc-
Cured. The six sticks of dynamite ex-
ploded simultaneously, as only one re-
port was heard.
Mems faces blanched and women
tainted as the fragments of the airship
and the unlucky aeronaut's body fell
over a great scope of ground. Baldwin
was from Losantville, Ind, and was 36
years old. He had been engaged for
long while in giving balloon and air
ship exhibitions at county fairs.

JUDGMENTS ASKED
Against Various Persons in the Carroll
County Court.

Carrollton, O., Aug. 31.-The ]. P.
Cummings Banking Co. asks Judgment
against Ross II. Moore, John H. Moore
and Daniel GetZman for $80.O1. with

based on promissory note for $2,667,
given by Ross H. and John N Moore
of Malvern, Nov. 7, 1904, interest at
the rate of per cent and is payable
annually. The plaintiff alleges that
the defendants have defaulted with re-
gard to the interest already due, and
that they are allowing the farm lands
and buildings to go to waste and de-
cay by failing to plant crops and make
repairs. Daniel Getzman becomes a
defendant as holder Of lien against
the defendants. Foreclosure of mort
gage on 1926 acres is asked for.

OUT OF THE GAME
Louisville Ball Team DemoraIized by
Collision With Car.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 31.-A street
car struck the conveyance in which
the Louisville American Association
baseball club was being taken to the
train after today's game, overturning
it and throwing its occupants to the
pavement.
Seven players were so badly hurt
that they will be out of the game for
at least week, and it is believed to-
night that three of them will be unable
to play again this season.
Pitcher Kenna, Second Baseman
Brashear and Center Fielder Clay were
the most seriously hurt.
The team was so badly demoralized
that it was unable to leave the city to-
night, necessitating postponement of

to open tomorrow.
Secretary Wilbur says half a dozen
new players will have to be secured
before his team can again enter the
field

jured In small wreck which occurred
In the Wheeling & Lake Erie yards,

firing was backing on a switch which
Joined one of the main tracks and upon
which was standing a freight train, the
last car of which was few feet be-
yond tho point of intersection of the

partly cleared the switch the freight
train was suddenly backed, striking the

BROKEN LIMB
Resulted From Collision Of Autcmo.
bile With Carriage.

While driving an automobile on N.
Cleveland avenue, ]. o. Ludlam, who
was accompanied by his wife, collided
with a buggy, throwing Mrs. Ludlam
from the machine, breaking her limb.
Mr.. Ludlam was going north on Cleve-
land avenue and had turned his head
for moment. He had not noticed the
buggy before the machine struck it.
Mrs. Ludlam was thrown out over the
side of the machine upon the paved
street, breaking the limb between the
knee and ankle. The buggy, which
was standing in front of the residence
of j. A. Bernower, 1916 North Cleve-
land avenue, belonged to Oscar Abt
No damage was done to the carriage
and 1t was at once used to convey Mrs.
Ludlam to her home at 511 Shorb
street, where she was attended by Dr.
Biechele.
Mr.. Ludlam said that at the time of
the accident 1t was dark, although the
machine had headlights, and that he
was driving 1t at very reasonable
speed. He also stated that he had for
the past three years been driving a ma
chine and that he always used the
greatest of care.
The machine, upon striking the bug
gy, was Immediately stopped through
some mechanical dsarrangement,
which no doubt lessened the serious
ness of the accident.

PUTS AND CALLS
ARE FROWNED ON
THREATS TO RAID CHICAGO
BOARD OF TRADE.
Large Reserve Force Of Police In
Readiness to Stop Any In
fraction of Law.

Chicago, Aug. 81. - CONSERVATION
reigned on the board of trade today
when threats were made that should
any trading be done contrary to law
the police would Immediately swoop
down and raid the board. This re-
ferred to puts and calls. Detectives
thronged the curb and visitors gal
lery watching for the first infraction
of the law. For an hour after the
closing gong sounded those opposed
to puts and calls" waited around
the board, determined to prevent any
such trading on the curb. There was
a large reserve of police held at the
lice headquarters, to answer any call
from the police stationed at the board
of trade but their services were not
needed as the members did not attempt
to enforce the issue. Orders were for
warded to Milwaukee as has been the
custom heretofore.
What that privilege crowd ought
to do" said John Hill, when asked
what he prophesied, "is to charter the
City of Traverse and do that trading
some where else than on the board of
trade"
Chief of Police Collins stated pos
itiyely that II illegal trading was done,
he certainly would raid the board,
as l will not allow anybody, no mat
ter if they are prominent citizens to
break the law"

AkGL0-JAPANESE
Treaty is Said To Be of Far Reaching
Importance.

London, Sept. lit is semi-officially
stated that the Anglo-Japanese treaty
which was signed in the London for
eign Office by Marquis Lansdowne, Sec
retary of state for foreign affairs, as
the representative of Great Britain, and
Baron Hayashi, ambassador of Japan
to Great Britain, as the mikado's rep
resentative on the August IL, the terms
of which have not yet been given to
the world, that the document is far
reaching in its Importance, as 1t af-
fords mutual guarantees of protection
to British and Japanese interests. 1t
is declared that this guarantee of mu-
tual protection to British and japanese
interests is operative even If one of the
two powers is only threatened by a
single hostile power. The new treaty
assures the status quo in the far east,
and this fact, 1t is declared, will prove
the most powerful factor in ensuring
peace to the world.
