JAPAN WANTS NO WAR
YOKOHAMA EDITOR SAYS FEEL
ING HAS BEEN EXAGGERATED.

NEW YORK. December 1S.-Arthur May
Knapp, who has lived for fifteen years in
Japan and who is editor and proprietor of
the Japanese Advertiser of Yokohama, ar
rived in New York yesterday direct from
Yokohama. When asked concerning the at
titude of the government and people of
Japan in relation to the diplomatic oues-
ton raised by the San Francisco school
trouble Mr.. Knapp said:
Il had not heard any talk of the posi-
bility of war between Japan and the United
States until arrived in San Francisco. l
cannot state it too positively as my opinion
that nothing is further from the mind of
the Japanese government than conflict
with this country. The ministers of the
emperor are level headed and they realize
that war with America would be out OF
the question.
ITO be sure, there has been considerable
feeling stirred up in Japan because of the
action of the San Francisco school board
in discriminating against the japanese
pupils. The editors of the yellow journals
in Toxic have been largely responsible for
this display of anger. But when l left
Japan President Roosevelt's message had
not yet been sent to Congress. and yet 1
am certain that the government realized
that the school matter was only local is
sue and that the federal government could
not be held responsible for the actions of a
city.
Before I left japan 1 had an interview
with Baron kaneko and Viscount Hayashi.
two of the most influential men In the con-
fidence of the emperor. and by them L
was told that there was unrest in official
circles over the diplomatic issue raised over
the school question.
THE talk about Japan coveting the Phil
ippines is, l believe, unfounded in fact. All
of the japanese industrial and commercial
endeavor is directed a. present to the devel-
opment of Korea over which Japan is prac-
tically supreme, and Manchuria, where she
holds a dominating sphere Of influence.
There is a field here for the exercise of all
of the nations restless ambition to be Su-
preme In the trade of the far east.
II believe that Japan is sincere in her
promise to maintain the open door in far
eastern trade. The slowness in opening
the ports of Manchria, which has been
complained against by merchants of other
nations, has been caused by the fact that
Russia has been tardy in fulfilling the OBJ
legation imposed by the treaty of Ports
mouth to retire from Manchuria, and Japan
could not with policy evacuate her half of
the territory before the Russians had de-
parted from the north

GEORGE ALFRED GOT HIS.
Story of One of the Public School

afternoons for the offense, and l inflicted
this punishment upon him a few days

future | observed the form of a woman
standing IN the doorway of the class
room
She was a big woman, who would have
made about four of me, and intuition told
me that she was the bad boys mother it
took her about ten seconds to confirm
this intuition in most forcefu1 manner.
Say, she exclaimed. angrily, advanc

menacing manner that involuntarily 1

teacher who has been keeping my lad in

who is the best boy in his neighborhood
has something to do after hours besides
being kept in this class room. Don't yea
ever dare to do that again, or you will
hear from me in another manner
This threat continued the little
teacher, instead of frightening me, sti, :.
fened my nerve, and, secure from the
large lady's reach behind my desk, l gave
her some polite but emphatic counter
volleys at close range on the rights Of
teachers, the enforcement of discipline in

bility of such parental attacks and the
positive necessity of pupils refrainiL: 8,

as even a look in my direction. She

Burning the dead as observed among the

bed of logs is built up at each side and at
the head of the bier which is next covered
over and strewn about with dry fagots

some Indians. day or two after death

is burned, the rest of the family then going
to live with some relative. The Yumas
make a great show of sorrow over thei,
dead. Later they are never mentioned at
all. The medicine men are still largely in
control among the Yumas, and the govern
ment makes no attempt to interfere. Us
ually their PATIENTS grow sicker, SO that
they proclaim them doomed to die and
their prophecy will almost always come

Courteous Methods.

w. L. DavI, of FindIay, Ohio, whose pros
ecution assisted to convict the Standard On
Company of restraining trade, said the
other daY about trust methods:
There are a number of trusts that with
some ingenious bubble break the law and
then believe that their bubble will save
them.
They remind me OF two little Findlay
boys.
THE mother of one boy said to him last
Christmas morning:
- don't want you to go to Johnny
Smiths to play with his Christmas toys.
He's very rude
"All right. mother the lad answered:

MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
CASE OF KANSAS AGAINST THE
STATE OF COLORADO.

Argument has begun in the Supreme Court
of the United States in the frequently de-
ferred case of the state of Kansas against
the state of Colorado, involving an effort on
the part of the complaining state to prevent
the monopolizing by Colorado of all the
waters of the Arkansas river for irrigation
purposes in the latter state. In it's bill of
complaint Kansas alleges a material reduc-
ton of the volume of the surface stream
after it reaches that state. and also of the
underflow, upon which much dependence
has been placed in the past.
Arguments Presented.
The first argument on behalf of Kansas
was presented by Attorney S. S. Ashbaugh
of Wichita, and he had not closed when the
court adjourned yesterday. L. c. Loomis
of Topeka will appear in support of Kan
sas' contentious. the Colorado size of the
controversy will be presented by Clyde
Dawson of Canon City and Attorney Cen
eral Miller of that state, while Platt Rogers,
d. c. Beaman and j. F. Vale will appear as
the representatives of the indlvldua! dltcn
interests of Colorado. Solicitor General
Hoyt. Assistant Attorney General +. L..
Campbell and Assistant Attorney A. G.
Campbell will present the government s
view of the questions involved in the case.
The closing argument in behalf of Kansas
will be made by Attorney General Colman
of that state and F. Dumont Smith of Kins-
ley, Kan.
A Most Important Suit.
The case is an original action and is re-
garded by some as the most important suit
of the kind ever instituted in this court
and that the court itself does not minimize
it's Importance was indicated when twelve
hours time-three times as much as is
usually allowed-was set apart for its pre-
sentation by the numerous attorneys who
appear in It, OF the parties to the con-
troversy. Kansas, Colorado and the United
States was each given three and half
hours and the individual defendants one
and a half hours. The hearing will continue
until very near the close of Thursday s
session of the court.
in his opening argument Mr.. Ashbaugh
dwelt especially upon the injury caused to
the immediate valley of the Arkansas by
the diminutiOn OF the flow of that stream
both above and under ground. He con-
tended that the state had suffered meal
culable loss by the diversion of its waters
in Colorado.
The court room was given over entirely
to this case and the army of lawyers was
sufficient to almost fill the space usually
allotted to attorneys in the court room. A
number of members of the congressional
delegations from both states also We're
present at the hearing.
Associate Justice Moody having partici-
pated in the preparation of the govern
ment presentation in the case, left his seat
when the argument was begun thus indi-
eating his intention not to take part in the
adjudication of the controversy.

An attraction that is OF more than
passing merit is the presentation of
the dramatixation of Robert Louis Ste
venson's great novel, "Dr. Jekyll and
Mr.. HYDE" which will be presented
at the opera house Saturday night
The play is one that does not re-
quire lerge cast. and it is, strictly
speaking, one-man play. DR.. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde are one and the same
person, and the actor essaying that
role stands out pre-eminently before
all the others.
The dual character of Jekyll and
Hyde is portrayed by Theodore Lorch,
a young Russian actor of much ability,
says the Rocky Mountain News, and it
can be truthfully said that he plays the
part well. To give a truly good per-
formance he must be extremely rapid
in making his change from one char
acter to another, while the calcium is
still on and he is in the center OF tie
stage Mr.. Lorch does 1t well. and the
transformation Is complete in every
detail.
Another requirement of the part is
versatility: he must be quiet, dignified
and suave. and with all the require
ments of courteous and kind-hearted
gentleman of the old English school.

IMPORTANT REALTY DEAL
is BEING DISCUSSED

Rumor is rife on the street that Col.
D. X B. Sellers. who recently came
here from Albuquerque. New Mexico,
has consummated deal whereby sew
eral portions OF improved and unim-
proved lands heretofore belonging to
the F. A. Reynolds estate in and about
Canon City will pass TO the control of
the Canon Realty Company. new or
ganization of large capital that has
Just been incorporated.
When interviewed by Record re-
porter Col. Sellers admitted the repora
was in part correct However, he
stated he was not ready at present TO
make his future plans public. but that
II was his intention to locate in Canon
City and shortly bring his family here
to reside.
Although including only a portion
Of the Reynolds estate lands the trans
action is said to involve over 800 600
worth OF property and the general I'm
preston seems to prevail that the
transfer Is OF far more than passing
significance and may later mean much
toward the more rapid growth OF Can

ton would have been 1915. gain OF

In large cities. in figuring popula-
ton they multiply the number OF

we think that in Canon City two and
one-half is about right.
In town the size of Canon City the
directory is much more complete than
are the big city directories, and fewer
omissions of names are made.
