CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
Members Of the Emmons Family Meet
with Many Mishaps.

Iowa City, Ia, July 3l.--A strange
chapter of accidents, involving vari'
Gus members of the Emmons family,
has been written here of late. Satur-
day a daughter of Willis Emmons, a
child of two and a half years, drank
a large quantity of furniture polish,
but will ecover.
George Emmons, Sr., uncle or VIII
lis Emmons, was attacked by high
waymen, beaten, knocked senseless
and thrown into a wagon, after the
robbers had taken Sc, the only money
he had with him.
Mrs. George Emmons is just recov'
ering from severe burns inflicted by
blazing gasoline, into which she acci'
dentally dropped a match.
Three severe accidents befell her
sons-a horses kick, fracturing a
skull; a fall from a tree, breaking an
arm, and a big splinter from a light
ning-shattered tree, striking one BOY
on the head as the bolt knocked him
unconscious.
To cap the climax, j.. o. Emmons'
brother OF George Emmons, has
brought suit against Iowa City foI
5000, alleging that he stepped into 9
hole in a defective sidewalk ant
sprained his ankle so badly that hi
may not be able to use it for months

TONS OF ROCK AND EARTH
 BURY SIXUNfORTUNATES
1t Will Take Two Weeks to Recover the Bodies of the Victims.

Bakersfield. Cal, Dec. 7.-Six miners were entombed this morning in a shaft leading to the big steel pipe conduit which passes through a mountain 200 feet in Kern River canyon. at camp i of the Edison Power cOmpany's plant eighteen miles from this city. The names of the miners are c. Anderson, C. Robles, Geo. Warner. H. Harris, L. B. Hicks and John Wilde.
 Reports as to the seriousness of the accident are conflicting It was stated tonight that work on the mine will be delayed about a week. Coroner Null lins has been notified but will not go to the scene for two weeks. He has been instructed that it will take that long to reach the bodies.
 The accident occurred while remov . ing timbers from the shaft. It is sup posed that carelessness in removing the supports caused the dirt to slide. Fourteen sections of the shaft fell like a card house, causing the cave-in, burying six workmen under tons of rock and earth. Scores of miners were dispatched to the camp to assist in the work of recovery. The company will rush work night and day.

INDICTMENT OF TOOLS
 IN UTAH LAND FRAUDS
They Had Sworn That They Were Not locators for the Utah Fuel Com pany.

Salt Lake. Utah. Dec. 7.-As a result of the land fraud investigation the grand jury today returned indictments for perjury against Theodore Schulte, an employe Of an insurance firm, and T. A. Moore. abstractor in the county recorders office. Both were arrested tonight and released on S25O0 bail. The charge of perjury. it is believed, grows out of the belief of the grand jury that the men acted as land locators for the Utah Fuel company and refused to ad- init that act when examined as wit nesses. The other defendants have not been formally arrested but have, it is given out. arranged through the com pany's attorneys to appear before Commissioner Baldwin tomorrow and give bond for their appearance at any time designated.
 After the indictments were returned and the bench warrants issued. the grand jury took an adjournment until the first Monday in January. Assist ant District Attorney General Maynard stated that the grand jury will recon vene after the holidays and the in quisition will be resumed. The indict- ments returned today, he said. mark only the beginning of the governments probing operations in the Utah and Wyoming violations of law. It is alleged that those indictments arc only incidents of a gigantic system of fraud being operated in the west.

A WAR WITH JAPAN.

Until there has been a satisfactory adjustment of the San Francisco school trouble there will be more or less said and written about a war with Japan however improbable such ar event may be. The European papers by the way. have been discussing it as if they believed war to be imminent. One can only hazard a guess as to the proba- bility of a war. Before engaging in an intelligent conjecture we would have to know what is in the Japanese mind. It is pretty certain that nothing that could happen in San Francisco could cause a war; no affront which might be put upon citizens of Japan in this country: even if we were to treat the Japanese as We do the Chinese. that would rardly cause a war. But any one of these things might precipitate one. As We have said, that would depend up
 on what was in the Japanese mind be- fore any provocation was offered.
 There is a general impression that Japan is looking longingly toward the Philippines and Hawaii, but the pre- dominating impression is that Japan is not yet ready to begin to try to take them, still weak from the fierce bout with Russia. That is only supposi- tion. That war did not leave the Jap
 anese in an especially distressed condi- tion, but on the contrary still stronger as a naval power than it was at the beginning. There is no discernable fin ancial weakness. Japan is stronger in resources than ever before in it's his tory. It is on a better war footing than 1t will ever be again until it makes a special preparation for another war.
 If Japan is contemplating a conquest of our possessions in the Pacific, it must be plain to the Mikado's astute statesmen that there is no time like the present for the war. We probably could not cope with the trained navy of Japan now, but our sea force is be- ing continually strengthened in ships. men and skill. Our resources are SC greater than those of Japan that a war for which we had time to prepare must be disastrous to Japan.
 But whatever may result from the | California affair, it may be pretext for war but not a cause of it.
 In this connection, ofall that has been l written on the Japanese question since the reading of the presidents message. l the following from the Denver Repub- 1 liean is rather the most superficial:
 He disposes of the Japanese school 1 question in a very satisfactory way. 1 He praises the Japanese highly and 1 shows his appreciation of their intel ! ligence and enterprise and the value l to us of their friendship. This will go ] far to soothe the ruffled spirits of l jingo Japanese; and yet he does not | venture to assert that the federal gov ernment can Set aside the will of the | state of California in respect to the | administration of it's public school sys- tenn. Altogether, it is a highly diplo- i matic disposition of the whole matter" |
 We do not thnk that this is compli- | mentary either to the president or to the Japanese, who are not so simple l as to be so easily soothed.
