New York, Dec. THE trial OF
Harry X. Thaw for the murder of

TOXIC PRESS PLEASED.
Euloqizes Roosevelt for His Attitude
Toward japanese.

Toxic, Dec. Most of the papers
here highly eulogize President Roose-
velt's attitude toward the Japanese as
expressed in his message. The press
Is almost unanimous in confidently ex-
pressing a satisfactory solution of the
San Francisco complications. The
Asahi Is delighted that the confidence
reposed in the president has been
realized. 1t says:
by his firm attitude, prompted by
lofty sense of justice, President ROose-
welt has added new luster to his al
ready great fame. 1t is to be hoped
that true Americans will unite in sup
port of his righteous policy"
The Houchi praises President Roose-
velt's attitude as just and impartial
and is rejoiced to find it in perfect
accord with the views of the Japanese
government.
Public opinion here" 1t says, "be-
heyes that he must have been actu-
ated by an exalted sense Of patriotism
to save his country from dishonor by
clearly defining the relative power and
authority of the federal and state gov
ernments.'

SCARCITY OF SMALL BILLS.
Secretary Shaw Tells Banks How to
Relieve Situation.


Washington, Dec. 1.-THE secretary
of the treasury has issued the follow
ing open letter to all banking institu-
tions of the United States:
"A very marked scarcity Of small
bills is noticeable everywhere and the
treasury Is powerless to relieve. In
the absence of legislation allowing ma
tional banks to issue larger proper
ton of their circulation in denomina-
tion of S. the banks themselves must
be relied upon to alleviate the strain
as far as possible. There are In cir
culation nearly $15,000,00O in silver
certificates of the denomination Of $40.
Many of these are doubtless packed
away in the vaults of various banking
institutions and held as reserve. Per-
init me respectfully to ask that each
institution, state and national, search
the money In it's vaults and send these
SO silver certificates to the treasury.
They will promptly be converted into
81 and 81 certificates to the very great
relief of the country. 1t is the only
remedy. Let no bank complain of con-
ditions until it has literally searched
it's own vaults and contributed as far
as possible to the relief OF the situa-
tion."

PRESIDENT AND JAPANESE Am.
BASSADOR SAID TO De CON-
SiDERiNG QUESTION.
WOULD RESULT IN BARRING JAPS
RECOGNIZES RIGHT OF EACH Ma
TsON TO EXCLUDE LABOR
ERS OF THE OTHER.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Viscount Aoki,
the Japanese ambassador, visited the
White House at the invitation Of the
president and they discussed propo-
sition to negotiate an entirely new
treaty specifically recognizing the
right of each country to exclude the
laborers of the other.
Such a provision is contained In the
present treaty, but both the president
and the Japanese ambassador thought
It would satisfy the pride of the Japa-
nese If their rights to treat the Amer
leans as the Americans treat them
were recognized.
1t was also believed that such a
new treaty would please the people OF
California and show them that the
president was prepared to go to the
extent of excluding the coolie Japa-
nese if 1t should become necessary.
Such treaty would be easy to have
ratified by the senate. 1t would al
most inevitably be followed by a Japa-
nese exclusion law barring out all
laborers from the mikado's islands.
Our laborers would thereupon be
barred by Japan.
All this is specifically provided for
in the existing treaty, but diplomatic
methods are dark and devious and the
president probably has definite pur-
pose which will be developed later on.
1t Is said that Secretary Root, under
the direction of the president, Is
actually engaged in the negotiation OF
new treaty with Japan, which will
specifically admit the people OF that
nation to the same rights of education
as are granted to European aliens, no
more and no less. If it be true that
such treaty is being negotiated 1t
will never get farther than the inside
Of the senate. The present sentiment
in that body is such that not over 10
per cent of the Republicans and none
of the Democrats would vote for a
treaty which In any way attempted
to limit the rights of municipality
or of state to manage its own school
system.

BELIEVES PRESIDENT WRONG
Governor of Washington Opposes Nat
uraIization of Japs.

urallzaton OF JapS.
Seattle, Wash, Dec. 7.-Governor
Albert E. Mead has come out in en-
phatic language as being opposed TO
the presidents recommendation that
an act be passed specifically provid-
ing for the naturalization of the Japa-
neSe.
Il am unalterably opposed to such
a course" said the governor. MAT
uralization of the Japanese would tend
to degrade the American workman.
The sacred right of American citizen
ship, acquired as it was by the blood
of our forefathers, should not be light
ly handed over to another, especially a
foreigner of the Asiatic coast. We
are very near to the countries of the
Orient, whose teeming millions could
be poured in upon our shores should
we throw down the bars to them. The
two races will not assimilate. China
is laughing in her sleeve. Should
Japan succeed in obtaining citizenship
rights China would come to the front
at once with a similar demand.
"We cannot extend our citizenship
rights to one Asiatic country without
doing the same to the other. | have
great admiration for the president, but
l believe he Is wrong in this matter.
The Japanese are poorly fitted as
American citizens. l have always con-
tended So"

Standard Oil Attorneys Say They Arc
Defective.

Findlay, O., Dec. THE attorneys
for the Standard Oil company have
filed In the court Of common pleas
motions to quash the indictments
against John d. Rockefeller, the Stand
ard Oil company Of Ohio, J. M. Robert
son, M. G. Villas and H. p Mcintosh Of
Cleveland. officers Of the Standard Oil
company Of Ohio.
1t is stated that the indictments
charge several separate and distinct
offenses In single count and are
therefore bad for duplicity; that the
indictments are uncertain and indefi-
mite and do not charge an offense in
such manner as to enable the de-
PENDANTS to ascertain the character Of
the charge made against them.

TO MEET ROOTS IDEAS.
House Committee May Change Ship
Subsidy Bill.

Washington, Dec. IA modification
of the Gallinger ship subsidy bill was
suggested by Chairman Grosvenor at
the days meeting of the house COM
mittee on merchant marine and fisher
les. He expressed a willingness to
strike out subsidiaries for transatlan-
tic and African steamship lines, thus
confining the government aid to Orien-
tai and South American lines. No
vote was taken, but Mr.. Grosvenor
will prepare a revised bill for the con-
sideration Of the committee.
In its changed form the Gallinger
bill, which already has passed the SEN
ate, will conform to the ship subsidy

Des Moines, Dec. THE organiza-

amendment convention, in session
here will be continued beyond the
adjournment of the present meeting
and the convention favors the calling
of a constitutional convention only be-
cause 1t believes it impossible to get
the senate to act with the lower house

ators by the people. The resolutions
offered by the resolutions committee
follow:
Whereas, 1t is the judgment OF this
convention that the legislative branch
of the national government should be
placed more directly under the control
of the people of the several states;
and,
Whereas, There exists, and has
long existed, strong popular demand
for the election of United States SEN
ators by the direct vote of the people
and said demand is, in the opinion or
this convention, we'll founded and,
Whereas, The Constitution of the

Efforts Blocked by Senate.

Whereas, The method ordinarily
adopted, of congress on its own initi-
ative submitting to the several states
a proposed amendment, has heretofore
been ineffective owing to the refusal
of the United States senate to submit
such proposed amendment to the sew
eral states; and,
Whereas, There is no alternative
for accomplishing the desired reform
save an appeal by at least two-thlrds
of the states to congress asking that
constitutional convention be called;
be it therefore
Resolved, That, while this conven-
ton would much prefer that congress
should submit to the several states a
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton for the election of senators by
direct vote of the people, so that the
states might pass upon it as single
question, yet, inasmuch as the senate
persistently refuses to submit such
amendment, 1t therefore earnestly
recommends that the legislatures of
the several states do, in pursuance OF
article ". of the Constitution Of the
United States, make application to the
congress to call a convention for the
purpose OF proposing amendments to
the Constitution of the United States"
