DISCUSSES UNCLE SAM
AS ALLY OF JAPAN

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2e.-The
Novosti today devotes a leading article
TO the discussion in the British press
as to the advisability OF the United
states joining the Anglo Japanese al
lance, especially referring to the state
ment made by a leading London daily
that the United States has virtually
been party to the alliance since the
beginning The Novosti maintains
that while sentiment in the United
States seems TO have favored Japan
during the war, the attitude OF the
American government has been strict
ly correct and the people of America
are beginning to realize that Japan is
Americas most dangerous cofnpetftor,
pointing out that even II Japan no
longer covets the Philippine Islands.
her commercial competition would
make such an alliance in'possible The
NOvosti says:
If, in England. a renewal OF the al
lance is meeting with opposition, the
United States assuredly must steer
clear OF joining a combination which
would still further strengthen Japans
prestige. The United States probably
VIII be content with the practical ad-
vantages reapable from the war while

WHEAT IS PUT BACK
BY COLD WEATHER
Half of the Fortnight Early Start is
Reported Lost
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
WINONA, Mimi, April 29.-Although
the crop season opened about two
weeks earlier than usual this year in
Minnesota and South Dakota, one week
OF this start has already been lost be-
cause of the continued cold weather.
This is the conclusion drawn in the
summary Of the reports of the crop
lines of the North Western railway In
these two states. This summary sent
out today contains the following:
A careful investigation of the condi-
tions in South Dakota through the
country shows that the wheat Is COM
ling forward slowly but uniformly. It
has not made rapid progress on account
of the cold weather, and there has been
lost to quite an extent the early season
first promised.
Grass is also in about the same con-
ditlon as wheat. At present 1t is about
one week earlier than one year ago in
South Dakota and MINES
In spite of the continued cool weather
there Is nothing discouraging in the
condition. In fact everything looks en-
couraging, for the grain already sown
has good strong root.
All the small grain has been sown in
this territory and the early wheat Is
up about two inches in height. It
shows a good stand and color. A trip
through the territory shows one fact in
particular, and that is that good farm
ing is general. Conditions in this re-
spect are much improved over former
Years.

confederate Half Dollar

At the reception recently given to
the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy in the Texas building at the
worlds fair DR.. Joseph E Chambers OF
st. Louis displayed one of the only
four confederate coins ever made by
the southern government, and probably
the only one in existence.
When Louisiana seeded Jan. 26,
1861. the new government seized the
United States mint at New Orleans
and struck $254.S20 double eagles and
81. .101. 1850 half dollars. using the
United States dies for 1861. The bull
lion was exhausted in May, 1864, and
the coinage ceased. The United States
dies were destroyed.
A confederate state die was then
made to be used for silver half dollars.
1t had the Goddess of Liberty-the
same as the United States coin-on one
side. and the stars and bars OF the con-
federacy In coat of arms, fianked by a
stalk of cane and one of cotton on the
other side.
Four half dollars were struck with
the die on screw press. and they COM
prised the entire coinage of the confed-
crate states. 1t was found in examin-
ing the coin that II would not be fit for
use, as the relief was too high. The
coins were not even milled.
While preparations were being made
to engrave another die that would
meet the requirements, the federal gov
ernment recaptured the mint. and the
confederate government was stopped in
its efforts to produce a coin of its own.

ANOKA, Mimi, April 29.-Is the fact
that Kalderwit has long, curly hair
going to be the chief means of sending
him to state prison for life? is asked
here Two thirds of the states wit
nesses identified him by his long. black,
curly locks. The state finished it's case
today at noon. Attorneys Hall and
Pratt are working might and main for
conviction, but the defense will not
weaken, for McGhee is fighting just as
hard now as at the beginning. The
defense opened it's side this afternoon
by calling John Kolb, one of the trio,
on the stand. Things went easy while
McGhee had him in hand. but feathers
flew after Hall got worked up. Kolb
was foxy, but got badly tangled on two
or three occasions, especially SO when
confronted with the two masks found
in his room. At the police station he
was unable to give any account of
them, but today he said they were used
to protect the face when putting on
hot paint. a work which he did for w.
S. Knott & Co.
A feature of his testimony was his
idea of a man when hard up. mo

place to go-nothing," was his version.
