not let up. When I raised my head,
and looked out at the window, I could
see the waves dashing angrily over

tered the outer harbor. the rolling
continued, and did not cease until
we were in sight of Hong Kong. Then
I rolled YEARLY out of my damp,
stufy bed. and began dressing and

ship and went on board a tender;

Although I know nothing about Rich

mer's boy and attended a district school
in winter. When 10 or 16 years old he
went to the county seat and entered a
store. He knew enough to be honest and
Industrious. so he prospered slowly; pros
perfty is always slow He knew enough
to remain in one place, so when times be-
came dull in Iowa, instead of running
away to another town, he picked up a lit
tie property at low prices. When prosper
ity returned-and it always does, every
Where-he sold a little and bought bank
stock. In time he was elected to a county
office; then he got into the bank as di-
rector. Later he was made vice president
of the bank, and then president He grad
ualy accumulated farm lands and this
gradually increased in value. I am not
certain, but / think one of his daughters
is married to a congressman and another
to a district judge. He also has three or
four good sons who are prospecting. If
Richa-7so is not from Iowa, then he is
from Illinois, or Ohio, or Indiana, or Wis
cOnsin, or Minnesota, and his history is
about as I have stated: there are SO many
Americans who are just like him. The
only remarkable things about Richardson
is that he has sense enough to be indus

1000 A MONTH
Rate at Which japanese Are Coming
to America.

New York, Jan. Representative
McKinlay of California who is lead
ing the fight of the Pacific slope to
have the provisions of Chinese ex-
elusion act extended so as to include
the japanese and Koreans, stopped
over in New York yesterday to look
into immigration from the eastern
point of view. He spent the day at
Ellis island as the guest of Cominis-
sioner Robert WatchOrn.
80 far as the European, or white
said, there is no immigration prob
lem. This country is the better for
every white man. strong and willing to
work, who seeks shelter here. Il is
only in dealing with The Asiatic races
that the bars should be put up and
kept up. There should be no discrimt-
nation between the japanese and the
Chinese. They are both cut out of the
same clOth-they both come to exploit
the country for their own gain, under
selling the labor market, living on 20
cents a day and sending their earnings
to their native land every month.
There are probably $4,000 Jap
anese already in this country, and they
are pouring in at the rate of 1000 a
month. Personally, [ do not believe
the Chinese exclusion act to include
the japanese would offend the govern
ment of that country in the least.
When [ was in japan with the Taft
party I had an extended talk With
Marquis Ito, and he told me that the
japanese government was anxious to
keep its people at home"

Little Change in the Towns Ball Nine
From Last Season.

From Last Season.
Wichita, Kan. Jan -a1.-This city is
to have praeticallr the same baseball
team it had last season. Twelve play
ers have been signed for the coming
season, but there is a controversy over
some of the men and they may be lost
at the last hour
Lawrence Milton of Carthage, who
was the captain and part owner of the
team last year, was IL the city and had
a conference with Manager Kimmel.
While both of them refuse to say what
was done at the conference it is known
that the entire team for next season
was gone over and each contract dis
cussed. Fillman will no doubt be at
short again during the coming season.
Milton will pitch again this season and
Will captain the team much in the same
manner as last year. He will also hold
down the initial bag at intervals. Bank
head will be at second and there is eV-
cry reason to believe that Cope and
Frick, who was with Oklahoma city,
last year, will change off at, third. The
Outfield will no doubt be BeVis in left
and Green in right miller is in doubt,
and another. man probably will be Sc
cured to take IS place in the center
garden. Willett will r here again and
Art Soller, a Paramount man, Will be
given a trial in the box at the begin
ming of the season. OIeary. Bemis and
Gehring are in doubt. Manager Kim
mel is trying hard to get these men, but
may fail.
