That Japan VIII Act

BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 25.-That Japan
will demand an indemnity of Russia in
the negotiations for peace, and that the
war will be declared at an end at the
conclusion of the negotiations at
Portsmouth, N. H., next month is the
belief of Baron Komura, head of the
Japanese peace delegation, who arrived
here today. as voiced by Aimar Sato,
who is the official spokesman of the
baron on this mission. Mr.. Sato in an
interview tonight said:
Il am confident that peace will be
successfully negotiated by the appoint
ed delegations. The Japanese will be
guided by moderation, and no excess
sive demands will be made, but the
sentiment In Japan and Russia is for
peace, and in the interests of humanity
and propriety there must be peace.
THE cost to Japan has been very
great. On both sides the loss in men
has been $4,000. Russia losing 10000
Of these. The war is costing Japan
one million dollars a day, and there
is feeling that there ought to be an
indemnity"
Asked as to the probability of an
armistice, Mr.. Sato said that probably
would be among the first questions the
plenipotentiaries would decide. Basing
the form of the negotiations on previous
treaty negotiations, Japan will, he said,
make the demands and that these will
be for Russia's consideration.
The peace terms. which are held in
violate by those who know their text,
were formulated by the emperor of
Japan and his council. Mr.. Sato was
asked If, in the flush Of victory, the
Japanese people would not feel enti-
tied to more than any treaty would al

1.-The Japanese are not so gentle as to
abide by the decision we may make, but
they pay great respect to the offices of
President Roosevelt and his acts have
done a great deal to emphasize the need

PORTLAND, Ore, July 25.-Unitet
States Senator Mitchell, convicted o.
using his Office OF United States senator
to further the law practice of the firm
of Mitchell & Tanner of this city, wa:
today sentenced to pay fine of $100t
and six months penal servitude. Penl-
ing review of the case by the supreme
court of the United States execution ot
the sentence will be deferred. In the
meantime Mitchell will be placed under
bail to the amount Of $4,000.
In pronouncing sentence upon the
aged United States senator Judge d:
Haven says:
"The statute under which the indict-
ment was found provides that the sena
tor shall be punished by Imprisonment
of not more than two years or by fine
of not more than $4,000. 1t also rem
ders the defendant incapable of again
holding any Office of trust or profit In
the United States. AS I construe the
language of the statute, the punishment
must be both fine and Imprisonment
but the court is given little latitude In
fixing the amount of fine or imprison-
ment. The court may make the punish
ment merely nominal. In pronouncing
Judgment 1t is not my purpose to COM
ment upon the. evidence or the verdict
found by the jury. In reaching con-
clusion in this case / have given con-
sideration to the age of the defendant,
which may be taken into account IN
mitigation of punishment and the
further fact that he is forever hereafter
disqualified from holding Office.
"In view of these facts and in consid-
Grafton of the nature Of the offense, the
judgment of the court is that the de-
fendant be imprisoned for six months
in the county jail of Multnomah coun-
ty in this state, and that he be fined in
the sum of $1,000"
During the pronouncing of judgment
Senator Mitchell watched the face of
the Judge with intense interest. His
face was flushed and troubled. John H.
Mitchell, jr., the son, who has been in
close attendance upon his aged father,
sat by his side, and when Judge De
Haven uttered the words about impris-
onment and the age of the convicted
man his frame shook with emotion and
tears came into his eyes.
The senator said not a word. When
the words county jail of Multnomah
county, in this state" fell upon i..sears
he sat as one transfixed Then whe,l it
was all over and the crowds started for
the door the aged defendant arose anG
painfully made his way out of the
scene of judgment
Former Senator Thurston, senior
counsel for Senator Mitchell, said there
was nothing to say on behalf of his
client other than that the case would be
carried to the higher tribunal in the
regular way. There are now three bills
of exceptions on file in the case. The
convicting and sentencing of Senator
Mitchell does not render his Office va
cant. If the supreme court affirms the
decision of the trial court. however.
the action of the higher court will
vacate the Office.
