JAPAN'S METHOD OF
FINANCING Her DEBT

Toxic, jan. 20.--The Japanese par
lament, reopened its session today
with the usual ceremonies. The pres
ent session will have to deal with many
highly important questions, none Of
them more important than the prob
lem OF providing for the financial pol
icy Of the country. new loan of
$215 600 600 is to be raised and $751;
00O 600 Of that amount is to be paid to
the soldiers and sailors of Japan in
recognition of their services.
Il is the intention of the govern
ment to have the entire loan made
at home OF the total amount S1O0,.
600 900 will be raised in the open mar
ket. which is not likely to feel a pres
sure on this account, because in the
course of the year the government is
to redeem exchequer bonds for the
benefit OF the market. OF the re-
mainder of the new issue, $4,000, 600
as already stated, will be paid TO the
soldiers and sailors Of the late war,
and S4O.OC0O0O, which need only be
issued gradually, is 10 be taken up by
the Goveruement's Savings Deposit
Bureau The reimbursement by Rus
sia of the expenses Of the main
teuance of the prisoners is not in
rluded in this financial scheme, be
cause the amount has not yet been
asCeuained The new issue will de-
credse by the amount OF the payment
.receiyable from Russia.
The normal expenditures for the
rc-~ --- sa.e,.eu with the war, are
estimated Al $4,000 600, and are to

be met by the normal revenues in eX-
istence. The expenditures resulting
from the war, such as the service or
the war debts, annuites, pensions,
maintenance of the garrisons in Man
churla and Korea, etc, are estimated
at S4OO0OO,OOO, and are to be met by
the revenues from the extraordinary
special taxes and by other resources,
which consists of the proceeds of the
loans already issued, the sale Of the
booty and other disused articles, and
the new loan, already mentioned.
For the payment of principal and in
terest on the loans already issued,
and TO be issued hereafter in connec-
ton with the war, the government will
set apart from the revenues a sum
OF S55O00,0 900 annually, and the whole
national debt incurred in consequence
OF the war are TO be paid in about
thlrty years. Besides this a sum of
SlS,OOO,0O0 is to be set apart each year
TOT paying the principal and interest
OF the loans created before the war.
IN order 10 insure their proper
handling, a special account will be
set up for these funds, keeping them
entirely separate from the general ac-
counts of the government. The Ma.
tional Debts Consolidated Bureau and
the National Debts Consolidation
Committee have been specially insti.
tuted for that purpose.
There is no doubt that the parlia.
ment will give the government the
fullest support TO MAKE il possible
10 carry out these plaus with perfect
success.

LAST CHANCE
FOR SCRAPPlNG
Ex-Delegate ROdey Ably
Addressed Committee
on Territories.
WAS OFTEN INTERRUPTED
BY Democrats and Ariz0naas
Whom he Scored Quite
MerciIessIy.
BILL TO Be REPORTED TUESDAY

Washington, Jan. 20.-B. S. Rodey,
former delegate TO congress from
New Mexico, appeared before the
committee on territories today de-
llvered a speech in favor of the joint
statehood bill, which afforded the
democratic and republican members
of the committee an opportunity for a
final tilt on the statehood question
Rodey was repeatedly interrupted by
questions from members of the COM
mittee and by heated arguments, de-
signed TO bring out the attitude of the
administration on statehood.
Representative Lloyd, of Missouri,
asked Rodey If 1t were not true that
the president and the speaker of the
house were forcing the joint state
hood issue. Rodey asked to be ex-
cused from answering that question.
and Chairman Hamilton intimated
that the democrats were being forced
by their organization to oppose the
bin.
Representative Moon of Tennessee,
interrupted the argument to say: Il
object to the gentleman from Mich
gan and the gentleman from Nilsson
having this fuss here, when In pr
vate they express opposite opinions
Rodey decried the system of tax
tion in both New Mexico and ArizoI
and said that corporate infiuenc
nave been draining both territori
and holding down their own tax,
Under joint statehood, he said,
people of the two territories cot
unite and curb these influences
prevent their public domain from b
ing stolen. he pronounced the d
of the Mexican populati,
in New Mexico as ridiculous, al
said that the Mexicans were reli
ious and law abiding, and In no SEM
a menace to the welfare OF the pr
posed state.
In answer to questions from Rep
resentative Moon, Rodey made de
tailed statement of how the corpor
ate influences get control of the ter
ritorial governments, which are dom,
mated by the federal Office e-holders
He frankly said that he and Delegate
Smith and other well known mec
ride on railroad passes and place
themselves unde robligations to the
companies. Under statehood, he said
the governors would be responsible
directly to the people and the publ,
demand for increased taxation of cor
porate interests would be respecte'
for political reasons. Rodey's speecl
closed the hearing before the hous
committee.

FUTURE KING OF THE STANDARD OIL
WIN. G. ROCKEFELLER, NEPHEW
OF JOHN, HASN'T THE SOLEMN
VlsAGE OF THE REST OF THE
KEROSENE SAMiLY.HIs LAUGH
A FEATuRE-PEN PICTURE.

VIM. G.. Rockefeller, the nephew OF
the great oil king, and who is looked
upon as the future head of the Stan
dard al company, is the only one of
the family who appears to have any
sense of tumor, or takes the least
enjoyment Of life.
John D.. and his son, John Jr.. sell
dom smile or laugh, at least they do
not while the public is an onlooker.
Not SO with VIM. G. Rockefeller. One
of his chief characteristics is his
laugh. 1t is all the more striking on
account of the solemn sobriety of the
other members of the billion dollar
family.
The revelations of the Missouri
oil investigation may not prove of
material service to the world at
large, but one thing it has proved
and that is that one of the members
of the far lily of the king of trusts
can and does laugh.
Young Mr.. Rockefeller is like his
uncle in one particular, however. He
is nearly as bald, and he is prema-
turely so, too, for he is scarcely %
years old. His head is strange
of youth and maturity, for
the top appears aged, with its shiny
top, while the sides have the thick
brown locks of lad still in his teens.
1t is from his father that William
G. has inherited the most of his fa-
cial characteristics. He has the large
nose of the Rockefellers, intensified
and longer than any other member
of the family, and it ENDS in a well
defined hook. His mouth is not so
large as his fathers, and is partially
concealed by heavy brown mus
tache, which is cut short and is
rather shabby.
His head is well shaped, but it has
not the bumps of his financial uncle,
nor the extraordinarily wide and high
forehead of his father. His eyes are
hard, so that the laugh which was

Relative to the action taken at last
nights meeting of the city council, a
representative of The Evening Citizen
called upon a few of the tax payers
and representative citizens of Albu-
querque with the following questions:
In view of the proposition made to
the city council, last evening, by the
Water company, do you think it advis-
water plant, and if so, at what price?
Or do you favor extending the present
franchise on more favorable terms to
the consumer, or do you favor the city
putting in an up-to-daJe, modern plan
of its own?"
As a result of the canvass of the
citizens, the following views on the
matter were extracted
NJ. Mandell, Clothier-l favor eX-
tension of franchise on more favorable
terms to consumers.
A. ]. Maloy, Grocer favor build
ing new plant. Never did like second
hand goods.
w. H. Greer, President albuquerque
Traction Co.-Think matter should
be put before the people of Albuquer-
que, and be decided by majority vote.
J. c. Baldridge, Lumber Merchant
Am against extending the franchise
under any circumstances.
j. A. Weinman, Golden Rule Dry
Goods Co.-Favor building new plant.
Positively no extension of franchise.
G. L. Brooks, President ]. M. Moore
Realty Co.-Under no circumstances
extend franchise. Favor building new
plant.
p. j. Hawley, Stationer.-In favor of
buying plant at reasonable price.
w. B. Childers, Attorney am in
favor of letting it alone--not in favor
of extending the franchise or purchas-
ing the property at the price named.
William Farr, of Farr's Meat Mar.
ket-I favor the city putting in an up
to-date modern plant of its own, un-
less the city can buy the old plant for
what il is really worth.
f. H. Kent, Real Estate Agent
favor the city putting in a new plant,
unless the present works can be
purchased for not more than $780,
600.
R. W ID. Bryan, Attorney am
opposed under any circumstances, to
the extension Of the present fran
chise. for the reason that it will be
impossible to secure as reasonable
terms for water as it would be pOssi-
BILE for the city TO furnish water I'M

can hear, having no actual personal
knowledge, it is my opinion that the
present owners of the water works
could we'll afford to sell them for
$3.50 900 I believe II would pay the
city TO purchase the plant, even If We
had TO give the price asked.
John F. Pearce, Physiclan--I think
the city council should purchase the
water plant for what it is really
worth and no more. If 1t cannot be
bought for that. let the city nego-
tiate for the building OF It's own water
plant.

cARNATIoN DAY HONORS
MEMORY OF M'kINLEY.

Canton, O., Jan. 20.-Today is the
anniversary of the birthday of the
late President Mckinley, and it is
generally observed by the friends and
admirers of the late president as Car
nation Day" in all parts of the coun-
try. Nearly everybody in this city,
where the president had his home, is
wearing carnations today, and the
tomb of Mckinley, in the cemetery,
was profusely decorated with carna-
tiOns, the favorite flower OF Mr.. Nc
Kinley. The Carnation League of
America, which was founded shortly
after McKinley's death, has done much
to keep the memory of the lamented
president awake, and its members,
who are scattered all over the United
States, never fail to observe the birth
day and the day of McKinley's death
by wearing one of his favorite flow
ers in their buttonholes.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY GOES
TO JAIL FOR DOING DUTY.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 20.-Judge Frank
Johnson today fined District Attorney
George Stiger $500 for contempt of
court, and ordered him committed To
the county jail until the fine shall be
paid. The trouble arose over the
gamblers cases, which were begun
ov Judge Johnson in October, but
which were taken from his court by
Stiger and removed to the west side
of the criminal division, for trial. The
judge said that Stiger was obstruct-
ing the administration of justice. The
district attorney claims that there is
a statute which provides that Grim
inal cases shall be tried in the Grim
inal division, and that he simply did
his duty. The judge gave Stiger a
terrible scoring in open court.

CASTRO WITH FRANCE
PROVES SLY DIPLOMAT.

Paris, Jan. .20-Officials here agree
that Frances action in Venezuela is
hampered by the peculiar situation
that foreign claims on customs are
regarded as placing a blockade al
most out of the question. 1t is feared
that If France should stop commerce,
Castro would Immediately seize this
as a pretext for refusing to comply
with Venezuelan obligations towards
other nations. Preparations are 60
ing forward for the reinforcement of
the French squadron, but the object
of this step is still underlined. This
much is regarded as certain: Frances
next move will depend on the result
of M. Jusserands conference at

KILLED BY CRUSHING
HEAD WITH FLATIRON,

Warren, Ohio, Jan. 20.-The peo-
pie of West Pennington, village
near here, are greatly excited today
as a result of the mysterious murder,
last night of E. X. Lewis, a wealthy
banker and farmer. An unknown
man came to the home of Lewis in
a carriage. Lewis and the man, it is
said, were in conference for an hour.
At the end of that time, the hired
man found Lewis dead with his head
crushed, while his hands and feet
were tightly bound. Lewis skull had
been crushed with a flatiron. Lewis
held many thousands of dollars
worth of chattel mortgages, and 1t is
believed that quarrel over one of
these resulted IN his death. The
murderer made no attempt to rob
Lewis, it is believed, as the latter's
watch and pocketbook were found on
his person.

Algeciras, Jan. 20.-Behind the
screen of amiability that envelopes
the relations of the ENJOYS of the

a rising feeling of distrust is observ-
able; due seemingly to the unwill-

to define its position, beyond reaffirm-
ing somewhat wearisomely adherence
to the open door, sovereignty of the
sultan and integrity of his territor-
les. The French delegates, in all
