How japanese Are to
Resent Exclusion
From Schools

Arthur May Knapp. editor Of the
Japan Daily Advertiser. of Yokohama,
author ano traveller. was a passenger
on the Siberia from the Orient yester-
day and is registered at the Palace
Hotel.
Knapp. who is a close friend of
Baron Kentaro Kaneko Of the Privy
Council. is en- route to St Petersburg
10 attend the opening Of the Douma.
He viii stop at Washington to be pres
ent al the opening Of Congress. and
viii then proceed on his journey by
way OF New York and Boston He
viii meet Baron Komura- another of
his close friends, in London, and will
also have an Interview with Minister
kurinO IN Paris.
Reports that Knapp is on a Gov
ernment mission Tor japan pre-
ceded him from the Far East, but
when asked about these last night he
dismissed them and said that he was
travelling merely for pleasure and in
the interests Of his paper which is
the largest foreign daily published in
\ Yokohama
asked about the impression created
IN Japan by the Japanese school ex-
clUsion in San Francisco, he said he
did not think IL had or would ulti-
mately lessen the cOrdiality of the
entente existing between Japan and
the United States.
The matter has attracted much at
tention and been discussed extensively
In the vernacular press Of Japan" he
said. but the impression at Toxic
when I left was that il was purely a
local matter and was confined 10 San
Francisco. No one believes that the
United States wishes 10 discriminate
against japanese"
What form is the poAllar resent
ment 70 the exclusion taking?" he
was asked
Foreigners in Japan believe that
the japanese will attempt TO divert
transportation from san Francisco to
other coast ports. No other form Of
boycott is believed TO be contemplated
The foreigners. I might add, are un-
able TO understand the attitude of
san Francisco in the matter. From
q purely trade viewpoint they think
san Francisco is making a mistake"
Knapp said the Manchurian question
was overshadowed by the constantly
growing Importance Of the Korean
problem and that the latter was the
big thing in Japan at the present time.
He also talked about the "new wo-
man" question in Japan.
Women have had more influence in
japan than any other Oriental coun-
try" he said, and are playing a big
part in its contemporary progress and
evolution"
Knapp is among the Harvard men
who went to japan out Of academic
curiosity and became so allured and
appreciative Of the country as to make
il his permanent home and its develop
ment his life study. One of his books
''Feudal and Modern Japan" is re-
garded as one Of the keenest and
most rational analyses Of the country
yet made by an American.

A NEW EDUCATOR

Business men. physicians, lawyers,
attorneys and clergymen have told us
that through having this remarkable
instrument in the home, life has be-
come a cheerier and better thing; that
a new interest has arisen in music The
Auto-piano opens up new HELD, FOR
with it theVmost difficult music is al
ways at command without the drudg-
cry of practice. 1t is the means of
giving one liberal musical education,

THE WONDERFUL AUTO-PIANO

And while we are on the subject of
the Auto-piano we want to say few
words about this wonderful instrument.
The necessity of having a piano is rec
ognized by all. The educating and up
lifting effect of good music upon young
people is acknowledged. 1t is an in
spiration to all.
But only limited number Of people
can play well. They may be passion
ately fond of music, but they are de-
pendent upon others for most of their
musical pleasure. Since the invention
of the Auto-piano this need no longer
be true. The wonderful demand for
this instrument from people who are
musically intelligent is the best evil
dence that long felt want has now
been supplied. Now the music-lover
who cannot play an ordinary piano
has the power to play well, to play with
expression and feeling, to interpret as
he believes they should be interpreted,
all the compositions of the masters.
The music thus produced is artistic and
satisfying, for it is as much product
of individuality as in hand playing. In
addition to this, the piano may be
played by hand the SANG as the ordf-
nary piano. It is really two pianos in

IT have certainly found the one best
place to buy pianos" said a well known
business man of San Francisco last
evening after having made a purchase
of beautiful mahog gany Auto-piano at
EILERS MUSIC COMPANY. This man
had followed our suggestion and spent
the best part of an afternoon visiting
different piano stores, determining for
himself the qualities of the different
interior piano players, their method Of
operation, their durability and their
prices. His experience was Identical
with that of hundreds of other buyers
who have tried the same plan in order
TO be sure of getting the best grade
of instrument at a fair price. He left
the store an enthusiastic owner of a
splendid Auto-piano and convinced, be-
yond a doubt, that he had made the
most judicious choice. -

of Governor Hoch.

Acting Governor John Smith ad-
dressed Col. Alexander Hogeland and
his following of newsboys at the Of
fee of Governor z. H. Hoch this
morning. Governor Hoch was absent
from the Office on political business,
and consequently it became Mr.
Smiths duty to impersonate him.
When Col. Hogeland and the news
boys arrived. the first ceremony was
to pin upon Mr.. Smiths coat a pink
badge four inches wide and a foot
long, bearing a picture of Col. Hoge-
land and some useful information
about the curfew ordinance. Col
Hogeland then made a few remarks
after which Acting Governor Smith

issues. He held his audience well, not

Bradstreet.

4oLd UclIe6L says
Trade conditions of large volume.
Prices are steady as a whole and the
hlgh range of all quotations does not
seem as yet to be reflected in reduced
sales. In general distributive lines the
reports are almost uniformly favor
able. Practically all industries return
reports of great activity. There is
complaint that low prices offered for
grain are restricting sales by farmers
west and north west, but lack of mo-
tive power and of cars is credited with
holding back deliveries. There is com
plant of slow trade in -four on domes-
tic account, but export inquiry seems
to have improved. ~
Wool is more active. and manufac-
turers have bought freely. Opinions
are divided as to the prices received
and some concessions are claimed to
have been made.

BOYS LEAVE HOME.
Three Youngsters Cause Parents Worry
by Taking a Trip.

Four small boys decided to take a
short pleasure excursion yesterday
afternoon and departed from the city
without mentioning their intended trip
to their respective parents. The lads,
Claude Anderson, son of W. Anderson,
1866 Taylor street, Leonard Johnson,
Is years of age, son of W L. johnson,
1881 Western avenue. Ralph Mckfb-
bon, "A, and a boy named Ireland had
little trouble in school last week and
were required to bring notes from their
parents before they we're reinstated by
the teach ers. They fixed up the matter
with their teachers yesterday and all
attended school. Evidently the drudg-
cry after a week of freedom did not
appeal to them, for after school closed
yesterday afternoon the boys did not
appear at home and their parents be-
gan to worry.
Mr. W. E. Ireland went to the Rock
Island depot, found his pleasure bound
lad and brought him home. The rest
of the boys refused to return with him,
telling him that they would come back
when their money gave out. The trip
will probably not be very extensive
one as the funds of the party are rath-
er limited. Claude Anderson, had IS.
Leonard johnson had 81 and another
one Of the boys had sold his gun for
so cents.
Mrs. Cora McKibbon. mother of
Ralph found a note on her door step
this morning from her boy The note
was not there last night and she does
not know whether the note was left
there by her boy or a messenger of
his. In it he informed his mother that
he was going off for a little trip Of
about a week and that he would "be
good"
The police think that the boys will
soon return If they do not meet with
any mishaps on their journey.

TRIcKErr CASES APPEALED.
Supreme Court Asked for Help by
Victims of PadIoclzs.

Three of the famous Trickett paddock
liquor cases from Kansas City, Kan
were appealed to the Kansas supreme
court today. Two Of the cases were
against z. J. Conner and Otto c. Maui
rer, and one was against E. J. Con-
nor and August UihIein.
One Of the things of interest in the
record of the case is the paddock or
der issued by Judge Holt after the
saloonkeepers had violated the intunc-
lions issued against them. The ap-
peal to the supreme court Is in the con-
tempt proceedings which followed the
violation OF the injunetions- The pro-
ceedings for injunction were COM
menced by W. H. Mechanism when he
was assistant attorney general but
have been followed up by c. w Trick
EFT. The paddock order is as follows.
Whereas, It has been made to appear
to this court by the verified AFFIDAVIT Of
plaintiff herein that persons are vioIat-
ing the order Of injunction heretofore
issued in this cause by selling and keep
ing for sale Intoxicating liquors in and
upon the premises therein described in
violation Of law; now therefore you are
commanded to go to said premises and
see that the order Of this court hereto
fore granted is obeyed and respected
and if necessary place locks upon all
doors to said premises. or place man
in charge as custodian thereof 10 see
that the order of this court IS obsyed. -
