URGED TO GO SLOW
Japanese Constitutional Party Adopts
Resolution Bearing on Japanese
American Affairs-Has Faith in
Washington.

Toxic, June 17.-Ine text of a reso-
luton which has been adopted by the
constitutional party is as follows:
'The persecution of our countrymen
is deeply to be regretted, for the sake
Of both America and Japan, but We
must not forget that there exists be.
tween the two nations the closest
friendship, which might almost be
called an alliance. In the face of the
professions of the government at
Washington and the American people
in general, such incidents as are re-
ported to have occurred must not be
taken as expressions of their will. 1t
is believed, therefore, that the ques-
ton, if properly handled, is capable
of a just and intelligent solution.
''We must refrain from becoming
excited over unlawful conduct on the
part of the people and thus injuring
the national cause. We expect that q
proper settlement will soon be reached
through peaceful diplomacy"

taken before Judge Wood at the coun-

The date of Orchards trial will not
be fixed until the cases against Hay

All Saturday night the neighbors of

teers from Boise and Emmet. No trace
of the boy was found untfI early to-
day, when it was reported that baby
footprints were seen in the vicinity
of badger hole. Wild stories as to
the child's fate under these circum-
stances were soon in clrculation, but
the searchers themselves were not sat

coyotes might have attacked the bov

( but simple American constitutional
question. The change Of ambassadors
could not change the constitution Of
America. The feature of the federal
and state system is the cause Of the
triumph of the American revolution.
The potentially co-independent exist
ence Of national and municipal admin
istration is the bulwark of liberty
and are the invaluable lesson for the
American people, if not for the worlds
people.
The changing Of ambassadors
would not end the conflict and the
trouble between the groups of the Jap
anese race and groups of other races
in San Francisco. The conflict will
never end, but on the contrary, will
multiply more and more, for the trou-
BILE in San Francisco is not question
for vigorous diplomacy.
THE solution is all up to the Jap
anese themselves. So long as they
who reside in San Francisco speak in
their own language, write in their
own language, think in their own
language and avoid communication
with the American people they can
never minimize the causes of the con-
flicts and troubles will continue. So
long as the Japanese Of America de-
pend upon advice or interference Of
their home government they must
expect continuation of troubles upon
troubles. And for that matter, even
though the officials Of the Japanese
imperial embassy consisted of the 12
apostles Of God they could never
change the American constitutional
theory Of indissoluble union composed
of indestructible states.''

ion Of foreign diplomat who is in
close touch with the court, the gov
eminent has done either too much or

Caldwell, Ida, June 17.-Toddling
along in wilderness OF lowering
sagebrush, his throat parched with
thirst of 40 hours, his sturdy little
legs torn and bleeding from briar
thorns, the 19-months-old boy baby
of Lawrence Marsh, residing near
here, was found today alive and pratt
Ting to himself, after a search which
began with the child's disappearance
last Saturday night, and in which a
posse of several hundred was en-
p1oyed.
Exposed to the biting winds of two
frosty nights, imperiled by prowling
coyotes and badgers, without food and
water, the tiny mite Of humanity had
wandered seven miles from his home.
The child's escape from death or sel-
ious mishap is regarded as almost in
credible. He was found in the heart
of the sagebrush, where the chances
were many that the little form Of the
wanderer would be entirely overlook
ed.
AS Henry Hawthorne, one of the
searchers, led his posse to where the
boy was standing, the little fellow
looked up wide-eyed at the strong

that the progressive party has taken
the San Francisco disturbance as a

Boise. June 17-When the Steunen-
berg murder trial is resumed tomor-
row morning, Harry Orchard will be
the first witness called to the stand
by the state. He will at first be In
the hands Of the defense, in order that
a series Of formal Impeachment pro-
ceedings may be propounded and then
the prosecution will take him over for
his redirect examination.
Despite his long stay on the stand,
there were several points relative to
the Steunenberg murder and the al
legged conspiracy behind it that were
not brought out and which the state
will bring out. The prosecution also
wants to clear up severaY matters
dealt with by the defense when Or
chard was under cross-examfnation.
When Orchard was brought back
from Caldwell this afternoon his
guards took him to the Office OF James

meeting he was driven back to the

Dissolution Of 'Douma Followed by
Much Disorder.
Odessa, June 1.-THE news OF the
dissolution. OF the douma ana the EN-.
peror's manifesto was received with
stupefication by the progressives
here, who had not expected the abro'
cation Of the laws so far forced from
the government, but provoked the
highest enthusiasm from the Union
of True Russians, who today cele-
brated the event, with the sanction OF
the authorities. Accompanied by a
'Cossack band, the True Russians
marched in procession 90 the cathe-
dral. where special service was held.
They carried huge Russian banners
and busts Of government of1cials. There
were no exercises.
Since the dissolution OF the douma
the police have arrested more than
300 persons, including three profess
sors, the leaders OF the different radi-
cal parties, and several families, in
Guiding a number of children. Gov.
Gen. Caulbars summoned before him
il public officers and warned them
against commenting upon the dissolu-
tion, otherwise their punishment
would be suspension. @
Although there were no strikes, dis.
orders are increasing. Bombs have
been thrown and persons assassinated
in numbers.
