Tie other p.otl.ions advocated by
him are not vital. an agreement was
reached curtailing this feature ma
terially. The understanding was at

the floor of the senate today, and was
formulated at the conference between
Senators Aldrich, Knox, Carter, Hop

In brief, the new proposition is
that no order Of the commission shall

two judges; that appeal may be taken
directly to the United States court

THE ALERT REPORTER.

Undoubtedly the happiest man in all
Chicago yesterday was a reporter for
the Chicago Tribune. He had done what
the entire police force of the city failed
to accomplish; he had located Henry
W. Herring, cashier of the defunet Mil
waukee Avenue State bank, the insti-
tuition that failed owing its depositors
100000. Herring was thought by the
police to have left Chicago. Thousands
of circulars bearing his portrait and de-
scription were sent about the country
1t was believed that he had stolen the
banks money and escaped.
The Tribune reporter found him and
had a long talk with him. He secured
for his paper one of the biggest scoops
i'm recent years. 1t takes a genuine
newspaper man. one with veins thor
oughly saturated with the microbe that
never sleeps. to fully appreciate the
feelings of that reporter yesterday. He
was a hero among his fellows. a hero

ment by one of their fellows. If that
reporter would change places with the
biggest man in the world he is not a
real reporter, and we can't believe he
isn't or he would not have produced
that scoop.
1t may, and doubtless will be, said
that the scoop was accidental, that the

MO CHANCE FOR TROUBLE.

1t seems perfectly clear from the
press reports of the killing of five Jap
anese seal poachers on ST. Paul island
that no international complications can
result. That the men who did the kill
ing believed it was necessary in order
to protect the seals there is no reason
to doubt. The japanese admittedly had
no business where they were found.
They were poachers they refused to
surrender, and the killing resulted. 1t
is an unfortunate and regrettable af-
fair, as it is always regrettable for hui
man blood to be shed, but the slain men
and their captured comrades knew
quite we'll the risks they ran, and they
have paid the penalty,
An account of the occurrence has
been forwarded through official chan
nels to Japan. Announcement is made
that no apology will be made, for none,
under the circumstances, is considered
necessary The attitude of the United
States is that its citizens were justified
in their action and that under similar
circumstances they would do the same
thing over again. Some international
lawyers say, and their contention is
reasonab bic, that the Japs in TINS
stance were in the position of burglars
who enter the residence of a citizen.
The citizen i'm such a case has the un-
disputed right to shoot and shoot TO
kill.
The United States could make no
complaint if citizens of this country
should, in attempting to make way with
property belonging to Japanese, be shot
and killed by the owners of the proper
ty or by the agents Of the owners. So.
as has been stated, an internat ional
is out of the question. II
is interesting to note in this connection,
however, that the Russian Novoe
Vremya, the only important paper in
the empire. according to reports, that
have not been suppressed. recently
predicted that there would shortly be
a war between Japan and the United
States. That journal went farther. 1t
said that Japan would speedily whip
this country into submission and that
a part of the indemnity would be the
cession to Japan of the Philippine
islands, along with some other import
ant concessions.
The prediction is. of course, absurd.
Japan is not going to become involved
in a conflict with the United States,
because there is nothing for the two
nations to fight about. And if such
conflict should, unfortunately, come
about, Japan will never be returned the
victor. The American navy would show
Japan something about sea fighting
that Japan has never dreamed of. 1t
would not be another case of fighting
and half mutinOus sailors,
but of coping with highly trained and
efficient antagonists. The result could
not fail to be disastrous to Japan, and
nobody is better acquainted with the
fact than the little brown men.
The Novoe Vremya need not think
that because Japan whipped Russia SO
she can whip somebody else.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-08-10

reporter just blundered onto it. That
doesn't make the least particle of diff
ference. Some of the biggest things in
the scoop line that the world has ever
known have had their beginning in a
trivial accident. And the Chicago case
furnishes another illustration of our
often contention that the reporter is a
most valuable aid to the police, that he
frequently gives the police information
Of the most valuable character and that
the police make a grave mistake in not
trusting him more than they do.
The tragedy of it all is that the man
who scores the big scoop of today is
king for only twenty-four hours at
most. Tomorrow's paper contains more
news, perhaps bigger news, and the
newspaper idol falls, 1t is quite posi-
BILE that the young man who yesterday
was the most envied man in his pro-
fession will be sent out tomorrow to
work on some story against mere tyro
in the newspaper business and get the
eternal stuffing scooped out of him, to
use the newspaper phrase. Such is the
fortune of war.
The newspaper hero is much like the
baseball hero. The star player of today
is called a lobster tomorrow; cheers are
changed to catcalls and the laurel
wreath withers before it can be gotten
under glass case Nevertheless, we
know lot of newspaper men who
would give quite chunk or their small
earthly possessions if they could occu-
py for a few hours the shoes of that
Chicago Tribune reporter.
