PREDICTS WAR BETWEEN
UNCLE SAM AND JAPAN
BY Associated Press.


ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 23.-The
Novoe Vremya, which is continually
raising the scepter of a war between
Japan and the United States, in d
leading article today regarding the re-
lations between the United States and
Japan, said:
Although the San Francisco school
trouble has been settled the official
optimism on both sides is not justified.
The situation is quite similar to that
preceding the Russo-Japanese war.
The race issue cleverly raised by the
Toxic cabinet may at the proper mo-
ment be revived and pressed to the
point of rupture, giving Japan the
prerogative of the attacking side.
This growing conflict of interests
is most serious because it Is inspired
by national ambition to which the
United States in the future must
either make full submission or meas
ure forces with militant Japan"

Deputy Mathot, in his closing argu-
ment, savagely attacked Caruso, de-
clarlng him TO be a man of misfit NOR
ais unworthy of being received in any
home and unfit to pe associated with
persons in decent society. He warmly
defended the New York police depart
ment, and declared that it was absurd
10 charge, as had been charged by the
defense, that the case against Caruso
was framed" by the police.
The real reason Hannah Graham did
not want to appear as a witness was
not because she feared that she would
be unable TO substantiate the charge,
but that she did not want to face such
host of perverts as would have gath
ered-such persons as now fill this court
room," said the deputy commissioner

Kisses swept the court room and the
officers were forced to rap repeatedly
before order was restored.
Mr.. Mathot declared that the allega-
tlollS WHICH nave Dee0 maze against
Cain and the police department by the
cefense was because Caruso and his
friends had found it impossible to pro-
cure immunity by the use of money
He said Caruso had never denied the
real charge against him-that he had
annoyed two young girls and had thrust
upon them the most hateful indigni-
ties.
II am here" and Mr.. Mathot ION be-
half of women, our wives and daugh-
ters, to ask you if these panderers and
sexual perverts shall be permitted to
use our public highways and the parks

formances."
Attorney Dittenhoeffer. counsel for
Caruso, when informed of the verdict,
said an appeal would be taken. The ap-
peal will be heard before the justices of
the court of special sessions, probably
within week.
In commenting on the verdict he said:
I'VE consider the decision unjust and
unwarranted by the evidence. At the
earliest possible moment Caruso will
take an appeal Il would have made no
difference il Caruso had been fined
cents, $500 or $1,000. If Caruso were a

PEARY GREETS HIS
WIFE At SYDNEY.
ARCTIC EXPLORER TELLS OF
EvENTFUL TRIP
Believes That Eventually the North
Pole VIII BE Reached, and May
Decide to Make Another
Attempt
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SYDNEY, c. b., Nov. 23.-Flying the
nag of the United States, which had
been placed nearer the pole than any
other national standard, and weather
beaten and disabled, the Peary arctic
steamer Roosevelt arrived here today
under sail and steam after sixteen
months vain effort to reach the pole.
Though not entirely successful, the
expedition nevertheless got to 81 de-
grees minutes north latitude, or
within 203 miles of the pole. The Roose-
welt left Port Aux Basque, N. F., at 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, averaged
five miles an hour to Sydney, experience
ing light winds and rains.
The ship came to anchor off the yacht
squadron pier. Though the hour was
early, the Roosevelt was soon visited
by the American consul and various
local officials, and an invitation was ex-
tended to Commander Peary on behalf
OF the Sydney board of trade to be the
guest of the commercial body at ban
quet in his honor tonight.
Commander Peary came ashore al
most Immediately after the steamer
came to anchor and Joined Mrs. Peary,
who has been here for two weeks await
ing her husbands return.
When asked what he thought of the
suggestion embodied in Fridtjof Nam
sens recent interview to the effect that
Pearys latest experience served to
strengthen the plan of reaching the
pole by drifting from Bering sea, Com
mander Peary said he always believed
there were great possibilities in the
drifting theory for men of the tempera-
ment to stand Imprisonment for several
years in the ice. For his part he could
not adapt himself to it.
Describes Gale
Touching the outbreak of the gale
which has unexpectedly come up in
the Arctic and destroyed the ice bridge,
Commander Peary said the prevailing
wind was westerly in the Arctic region,
but it was not always of the force of a
gale. No person could anticipate the
coming of a gale either in the Arctic
region or elsewhere. He would not talk
about the Wellman expedition plans, as
he said he made it point not to dis
cuss the ideas of other explorers.
The commander said his immediate
movements were in doubt He thought
he would pay off the Newfoundland
members of his crew at Sydney, make
some repairs to the Roosevelt. get a
new crew and proceed to New York.
Commander Peary looks to be in the
best of health and spirits, and though
disappointed at the failure to reach the
pole is satisfied with the advance
actually made.
Plans for another expedition probably
will soon be made.
DR.. l.. j. Wolff said the health of the
party had been excellent There were
no deaths and practically no sickness
DR.. Wolff said that he had not the
slightest doubt if the gale in the early
part of March had not occurred the
pole would have been reached without
difficulty.
DR.. Wolff said the other members of
tine expedition intended to stay by the
Roosevelt until she reached New York.

A nervous, irrita BILE mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, " the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted.
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound !:
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.
