Governor John A. Johnson of Mime
sofa, who is in the South in connec-
ton with the decoration of monu-
ment erected by Minnesota in Nation
al Park at Vicksburg.
In this interview Governor Johnson
saws his visit to the South has no poll
teal significance, as his only hope at
present is to fulfill his duties to his
state as governor.
Asked il he would ignore the de-
mands of the Democratic party IL made
upon him. he said:
mo authorized body in the country
-whfclf-I- am aware has as yet men
toned my name in any capacity. L
recognize the fact that number OF
newspapers throughout the country
have discussed to some extent myself
as one who might be available and /
am pleasantly conscious of all the kind
things which have been said of me in
this connection
Regarding the attitude of the Demo-
cratic party in the next national cam
paign Mr.. Johnson said:
III seems to me that the slogan or
the Democratic party in the next cam
paign and in every succeeding cam
paign until the question is settled.
shouId be a revision of the tariff. Al
most thorough revision, mind you, tor
il is on this point that / disagree with
the president of the United States. 1
believe that the tariff more than any
other cause has a direct bearing on
trusts and places a burden. direct AND
Indirect. upon the people of the coup-
try. benefiting no general class and
good only to a privileged few.
Governor Johnson said he did not
agree with President Roosevelt's idea
of federal rather than state control OF
railways The state, he said. should
be absolute in the control of railway
transportation with federal control or
Interstate traffic.
Governor Johnson said he did not
favor government ownership of rail-
roads until all other means had been
exhausted. As to who would be the

Committe on Military Affairs.
He is a banker and former army

and EXPRESSED the opinion that the po-
lice had been unnecessarily harsh In
dealing with negro soldiers and that
the latter had resented the Ill treat

The discipline of the negro soldiers
was described by Captain Kelley as pc
ing very lax, and the attitude OF the
men towards the officers was SAID 10
be almost disrespectful.
He told of the investigation conduct
ed by the Citizens Committee, and OF
the trouble the citizens had with Cap
tain Mcdonald, of the Texas Rangers
who came there at the instance OF the
Governor of Texas to assist the citl-
zens Captain Kelley said he told Cap
tain Mcdonald that he perhaps meant
we'll but that his methods In dealing
with the negroes who were then under
suspicion of having committed the out
rage, would bring a conflict between
the people and the soldiers. He order
ed Captain Mcdonald to withdraw as
he attempted to bull-doze the SOL

Boise, Idaho, May 25.-Two more
talesmen qualified as JURORS and the
fourteenth and fifteenth peremptcry
challenges were expended at the Stun
enberg murder trial this morning.
The State has but two peremptory
challenges left and the defense only
three more, so that the completion of

the entire jury quest.
After two talesmen had been dis

Boise. was called. Under examination
by Senator Borah, he said that he was
opposed to capital punishment, but re-
CARELESS of this he was passed.
Clarence barrow, who examined
Tourteliotte for the defense. went d.
rectly to the attitude of the talesman
on capital punishment. Tourtellote de-
clared that he could only justify eapi-

when society must protect itself against

These, senators had not intended to
call Mcdonald but Foraker insisted he
be put on the stand. He testified he
was aroused by firing and going down
town to q point opposite the barracks
he heard two shots fired from inside
the wall. A third shot followed which
he said was fired from the gallery OF
one of the barracks. The witness said
that he then saw group Of about fiji
teen or twenty soldiers outside the
barracks gate and that the group d.
vided. one half going up Elizabeth
street and the other half going up the
Cowan alley.
He said he watched the latter party
until they began firing into the Cowan
house and that he then went home for
fear Of being shot himself. He wal
called by Senator Foraker to prove
that he had occupied a position com
handing view Of the garrison wall
and had not seen any soldiers climb
over the wall. Two witnesses who
had testified heretofore were recalled

TORNADO In TEXAS
ENTIRE SECTION Is WIPED FROM
MAI.
But Few Fatalities Are Recorded On
Account of the People Being Pro-
vided With Effective storm
shelters,

Wills Point. Texas. May 25.--A tor
nado struck the eastern portion of
Wills Point today. 1t cut a clean
swath of zoo yards in width through
the entire town. Three people are re-
ported dead at this hour. 10 o'clock.
The dead:
Mrs. T. G. Douglass, Jesse Douglass.
her s-year-old son; a child named Nc
Clellan. The injured: John Lancaster.
Mrs. Mcclellan. Mrs. r. C. Miller.
Mrs. C. H. Crick and two children,
a second child of Mrs. Mcclellan.
This list of injured is all that can
be secured tonight. as everything Is in
confusion and everybody is engaged in
some work of mercy.
The tornado came from the south
west and Travelled slowly to the north
east carrying with 1t portions of build
ings and other debris, as II 1t were
whirling leaves. Dead calves. horses,
cattle and fowls are scattered, through
out the path of the storm.
The reason that few in the path OF
the storm were killed Is that most OF
/ the people have storm houses and made
timely use of them. Many cases have
come under the observation OF the As
ISOLATED Press correspondent where
the houses were torn to kindltng wood
and no one was hurt
relief fund has been started and
the first subscriptions are being made
by business men from Longview who
came here this afternoon to meet the
remains OF Mr.. Yeates. the banker at
Longview, who died there yesterday
The injured and homeless are being
cared for tonight by neighbors.
No news from the country has been
received up to this time SO that no
account of the damage there can be
given as most of the telephone lines
and all telegraph lines east are down.
The damage done by the storm In town
is estimated tonight conservatively at
$780, 900. but 1t may prove to be more.

JAPANESE COMPLAIN
SUBJECTED TO ILL-TREATMENT IN
FRISCO.
Secretary Root Immediately Sets
Wheels Of Department Of Justice
In Motion and Calls on Gov
ernor Of California.

Washington. May 25.-Information
that Japanese have been subjected to
ill-treatment and indignities in San
ment today from two sources, and Sec
rotary Root has taken measures for
their protection through two chan
nels.
Ambassador Wright. at Toxic. ca
bled the, information obtained through
Japanese channels. that a Japanese res
taurant and Japanese bath house in
San Francisco had been demolished by
a mob and viscount Aoki, the Japan
csc Ambassador here. laid before Sec
rotary Root dispatches from the ia
panese Consul General at San Fran
cisco. detailing the same occurrence.
Secretary Root at once made a re-
quest on Attorney-General Bonaparte
of the Department of Justice that the
United States District Attorney in San
Francisco be directed to make an i'm
mediate investigation of the COM
plants
Mr.. Bonaparte thereupon telegraphed
both the United States District Attor-
ney and the United States Marshal at
San Francisco to make thorough in
vestigation and to forward their re-
port by telegraph to the Department
Of Justice.
Besides setting to work the machin-
cry of the Federal Government, Secre-
tary Root telegraphed the information
to Governor Gillette of California. In
this telegram he called upon the State
of California to perform the duties i'm
posed upon her by the terms of the
treaty between the United States and
Japan, which stipulates that Japanese
shall have the right to reside in the
United States and shall have full pro-
lection to their persons. property and
business. No reply has been received
from Governor Gillette.
The double move affording protection
to japanese was taken by the Secre-
tary because of what is regarded as
doubtful authority vested In officers of
the Federal Government to prosecute
violations of the criminal law. The
Secretary does not go so far as to say
that the Federal Government Is with
out authority in this respect in the alb
sence of procedure by a state, but he is
frank to admit that Federal jurisdic-
ton may be somewhat weak.
AS to the merits of the case, Secre-
tary Root Is inclined to ascribe the oc-
currence, both reports of which have
come through Japanese sources, to the
disturbed conditions existing in San
Francisco as the result of labor condi-
lions
