ITALY'S QUEEN
TO VISIT JAPAN
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ROME, April 26.-Queen Margher-
ita of Italy is planning to make trip
to Japan after the conclusion of peace
between Japan and Russia and will
return to Italy by way of the United
States, landing at some Pacific Coast
port and touring the principal cities
on her way across the continent.
Queen Margherita's admiration for
everything japanese dates back many
years. She has always been fond of
Japanese art and keenly interested in
japanese history and customs.
Her arrangements are now com
plete for the trip when peace is in
sight. She will be given a wonderful
welcome. for she will be the first
crowned head of Europe to visit Dai
Nippon.
In America she will be welcomed as
the only European sovereign who has
complime mented American women by
appointing several of them as mem
bers of her household and ladies of
her court. Among the best known
American ladies in waiting are Prime
ess Brancaccio, formerly Miss Eliza
beth Hickson Field; Princess Vicou-
arc, who was Miss Eleanor Spencer,
and the Countess Gianotti, who was a
Miss King.

CIVIC LEAGUE
NAMES TICKET

STOCKTON, April 26.-Stockton poll
ticians are upset tonight by the clever
coup Of the Civic League in fling q
city ticket on the last day for fling
nominations for the city election, which
occurs on May 1e. The league makes
the point that the Republican and
Democratic parties did not file their
petitions for places on the primary bal
lot iu time and the primary election
held was illegal The league will go
into the courts to prohibit the City
Clerk from placing the Republican and
Democratic tickets on the official bal
lot. and give place only to the inde
pendent ticket. Attorneys who have
advised the league say there is no ques-
ton Of the iliegality of the primary
election, as the petitions were filed five
days too late, and only the independent
ticket is legally on file. The Republi
can City Committee met tonight and
decided to test the matter, and if the
Civic League petition is correct Repub-
licans wiz probably be urged to write
their ticket on the ballots they cast.
The Democratic committee Will take
up the matter tomorrow night.
The ticket nominated by the Civic
League is headed by r. E. Wilhoit for
Mayor and the Council is made up Of
four Republicans and four Democrats,
giving the Republican Mayor decid-.
ing vote in a tie. The other offices are
divided to suit the Republicans and
Democrats Of the league The nominee
for superintendent Of Streets is a DEM
ocrat. A. G. Blum; the Assessor is
Republican nominee, I. n. Moore, and
the Auditor is A. II. Wright, the Re-
publican nominee.

AN ULTIMATUM

SEATTLE, April 26.-A sharp con-
flict between the Northwest Brewers
Association, representing every brew
cry in Western Washington, and their
employees, aggregating between 1900
and 1000 men, has arisen. May is the
date on which the scale of wages and
agreement is to be signed. The latter
demand an increase in wages for en-
gineers ard firemen and insist on the
old agreement, by which the brewers
cannot employ or discharge a union
employe without the sanction OF the
union.
The brewers to-day sent an ulti-
matum to their employees to the effect
that the agreement must be changed so
that the brewers can hire and discharge
their employees at will. They agree TO
hire only union men. The employees
are to reply Friday.

Smith Stole From
City Before.
Returns Money He
Took From Sharon
Estate.

The thefts Of Tax Collector Edward
j. Smith have extended over a period
covering more than year and during
that time the missing city Official has
appropriated more than $4,000 to
his own uses. Most of this money was
repaid by his brother James, the lat
ter devoting his own private fortune to
keeping his relative out of the peni-
tertiary. James McCabe, the chief
deputy, says Smiths present shortage
is represented mostly by the railroad
taxes. amounting to- nearly $4,000.
McCabe said last night:
