JAPANs GRfAr UNDERTAKING
To Protect, Supervise and Develop All
 Her Industries.

Washington, July According to adyices received by the bureau of man ufacturers, the Japanese government has undertaken one of the greatest ex- periments in the worlds history, in- dicating a purpose to protect, super wise, develop and nationalize all Jap .anese industries, It Is stated that the provisions for the naturalization of the railways was but a single step in the great plan of industrial naturalization toward which the country fast is ap- preaching.
 The question of Manchurian develop ment has received careful attention, and 1t now is proposed that a compa- ny should be formed by the govern ment and private capitalists jointly for working and developing the railways, mines and forests in Manchuria. If successful along the lines Japan is now working, it is stated that individuals and corporations of America that are now striving for the trade of the Ori- ent will discover that they are not competing for this trade against indi- Viduals ana corporations of Japan, but that they are in commercial conflict with the Japanese nation itself.
 A great guild of cotton manufacture CTS of Japan has been formed to cap ture the Manchurian trade. In connec- tion with the enterprise the govern ment has decided to make the loan through the Yokohama Specie bank, without limitations as to the amount, not only on cotton textiles, but on matches, cement, beer, marine products, lumber and other goods to be exported to Manchuria at the rate of 4 1-2 per cent. per annum. As regards freight age, the government will carry out ne- gotiations with the Chinese Eastern railway and the subsidized Japanese steamship lines,
 The government will pursue a simil- ar policy with regard to Korea, The bu- reau of manufacturers has received re- ports from Ambassador Wright of To- kio and from other sources confirming this new movement in Japan.

YESTERDAYS BALL GAMES
NEW HAVEN DEFEATS WATER
 BURY IN 6 TO 8 CAME.

Norwich Dfsposes of Hartford Five to One-New London Takes Bridgeport Into Camp Two to one-Holyoke Four, Springfield Three.
 Errors and bases on balls were re- sponsible for most of the runs scored In the game between Waterbury and New Haven at the Savin Rock grounds yesterday afternoon, the visitors being the greatest offenders and losing to the locals by the score of 6 to 3. Phil Cor coran and Lefty" Rogers were on the firing line, and the New Haven man had the best of the argument all the way
 Waterbury started off like winners in the first inning, when hits by McAn- drews, Swander and Nichols resulted in an earned run. The visitors didn't reach the goal again until the eighth, when McAndrews and McCabe scored on an error by Hannifin, pass to Me Cabe and O'Hagan's timely single.
 New Haven started her scoring in the second, when Burke hit the first ball pitched for a home run over the left field fence, 1t being one of the longest hits ever made on the local grounds The score was run up to six in the third on errors by Rice and McAndrews, a base on balls to Fitzpatrick and Burke, and two-sackers by Hannifin and Hay ward
 Hayward, Hannifin and Swander bat ted hard, and Hughes was a terror to the would-be purloiners of second base, such fast runners as Connell and Hay ward falling victims to his strong right arm.
 The score:
 New Haven.

from Kerguelen Island.
 Capt. Cleveland saw three schools of sperm whales to the northward of the Gulf Stream four days ago. in the vicinity of Hatteras, No whalers were in sight, probably being to the north ward of where the whales were sighted
 Capt. Cleveland intended to visit some of the other harbors at Kergue- len Island to get a full ship toward the end of the summer season in that latitude. but the loss of his anchor made him decide to remain at Table Bay and take what he could in the time hs had to stay
 It was a busy time at the outfitters' stores on the landing of the sailors last evening, and the whole crew don ned shore clothes in place of the dun garee which the majority of them wore when they came from the brig.
 All the men are high in the praise of Capt. Cleveland for his seamanship, and they say he got the Daisy out of her hard stay at the island in first class condition, and made her come home in short time The latter part of teh passage was made in light airs, and considerable head wind was en- countered.
 An interesting incident is told in connection with the cruise of the Daisy. IA week or two ago some person inter- ested in the brig went to a fortune teller and asked some questions about the brig and the crew. The fortune teller said that the Daisy was all right, but death had occurred on board When the brig arrived, it was found i the prediction made was true.-NeW Bedford Standard.

Battle for Attorneys in
OAKLAND
Oakland.

OAKLAND, May 23-G. NJ Taggart, 6
former merchant in Philadelphia, was ar
ra!gned today before Police Judge George
Samueis as a fugitive from justice. This
move was made by the police to prevent
Taggart from gaining liberty on a writ
of habeas corpus, for he is held under
doubtful proceedings. Taggart's attorney,
A. L. Frick made hard fight this morn
ing to procure the release of his client
on the ground of, insufficient warrant to
hold him. Judge Samuels took the case
under advisement until tomorrow.
Taggart was arrested on a telegraphec
request from the Philadelphia police
which recited that he was wanted or
charges of embezzlement and of obtain
ing money by false pretenses, and was
a fugitive having fed while under bonds
to appear for trial. The general com
plant was that Taggart had taken money
from a partner in business. The pris-
oner was held pending further news from
Philadelphia. Meanwhile he engaged an
attorney and began his struggle to get
out of jail. The police blocked a wri,
of habeas corpus by causing a fugitive
from justice" warrant to issue. Taggart
was taken before the court on that pro-
ceeding and arguments We're made this

at Magnitude Of Proposed
Great Buildings.

BERKELEY. May 2s.-John Galen
Howard, the famous architect 70
whom has been entrusted the work or
carrying out the plans for the Greater
University Of California. has signed
his name as chairman of Chamber
of Commerce committee to report for
the Berkeley Board of Education
dealing with the condition or tne
school buildings OF the town, and the
advisa bility OF proceeding with the
work of erecting many new and cost
ly. structures, designed by the board:
The Board of Education received
this report last night, and the alrect-
ors were palpably staggered oy the
report Of John Galen Howard and
his associates on the committee Ine
committee recommends that plans Tor
such big structures as the 1o-room
brick school building on Bancroft
way, to cost $4,000 be abandoned,
and the cost OF the building doubled,
in order to insure safety and proper
construction. This is all the result or
the earthquake and its effect upon
such buildings as those the Board or
Education proposed TO construct The
committees report, bearing on the
subject, was as follows:
After examining the plans and specifca-
tions for the Bancroft way and Piedmont
avenue schools your committee is OF the
opinion that the contemplated structures
are not OF sufficient strength and st1r-
ness.
1t is your committees Judgment that
brick buildings of the type proposed oy
the plans should cost very much more
than the assigned appropriations. perhaps
twice that amount Much better mortar,
stronger bond anchorage in the brick
work, weightier walls and especially
braeing In the interior cross walls Of brick
must be introduced
The problems presented are complex
and intricate. Financial questions as well
as decided changes in the designs must De
considered. Your committee makes these
statements In the light OF the lessons
learned during the past month by inspect
Oakland and does. not wish to be under
stood as criticlsing those in whose charge
these schools have been placed To best
meet the difficulties your committee sug-
tect be requested 20 advise with the board
and the architects Of the buildings in the
further studies and notifications OF the
plans and specifications.
To reinforce properly brick buildings your
board must spend additional money. If
additional money cannot be made avail
able your committee feels that the de-
signs must discard brick work and replace
1t by carefully designed timber frames

Refutation,
He Officially Denounces

OAKLAND May 23.-Governor Perdee
has inaugurated an official campaign
against the nendacity which has char
acterized much of the correspondence
that has gone forth from California with
relation to San Francisco's disaster.
Whenever his attention has been called
by means OF public statement or private
communication to exaggerations or pal
pably false stories concerning the vari-
Gus phases of the calamity. its causes.
effects and results. the Governor has
adade official correction by letter and by
wire.
From the outset staff OF competent
nen has been engaged in collecting froTs
al available sources the numerous yarns
about San Francisco, which, If left un-
ienied by competent authority, might
prove harmful to the city and the State.
Immediate refutation of these canards,
camors and inventions has been sent For
example, early In the record there went
forth broadcast startling and alarming
reports of disease pestilence and their
accompanying horrors. Following in the
rain of the tales of epidemic were sent
hundreds of kilograms from the Governor

and its losses, the health of the city and
