President to Consider German TariR
 and Japanese Conditions.


 and Japanese Conditions.
 Washington, March S.--Within the coming two weeks, President Roosevelt expects to give active attention to the German tariff question and to the Ja- panese situation.
 Already he has had several talks with Secretary Root and MT. North. who was at the head of the American delegation which went to Germany last winter to conduct negotiations with that Government on the German tariff question. The details of those con- ferences have been laid before the President and some announcement as to what, If anything. is to be done by this Government. is expected soon.
 Just what the procedure on the Ja- panese question will be has not been announced. It may. however. take the form of an executive order putting into operation that feature of the immigra- ton law enacted by the last Congress, which gives the President authority, whenever he is satisfied that passports issued by any foreign Government to It's citizens to go to any country other than the United States, or to any i'm sular possessions of the United States, or to the canal zone, are being used to enable the holders to come to the con- tinenta1 territory of the United States to the detriment of labor conditions. to refuse to permit such citizens to the country issuing such passports to enter the continental territory of the United States.
 Although the Japanese are not mem tioned specifically in this provision of the law. the legislation enacted was in- tended to be applied to them when deemed desirable and was passed in accordance with the President's agree ment with the San Francisco school au- thorities.

Cleopatra's obelisk. familiarly known as Cleopatra's Needle" which stands on the Thames embankment, fin London has witnessed many strange scenes. In the last few years would-be suicides have found It's steps, which are partial- ly covered by water when the tide rises, a favorable place to carry out their in- tentions Not always, however, even there does the wretched creature who attempts seIf-destruction succeed in do- ing so by the easy method Of drowning. A pathetic scene was witnessed by Sum- day morning pedestrians along the em- bankment not long ago. when six or seven of London's staiwart policemen utilized the rope of life belt which hung on the embankment wall to haul, feet foremost. up the stone steps of the obeIisk a victim of the nurlSy Thames" who proved to be a remarkably hand some and well-to-do woman. Evident ly she had misjudged the depth of the water, for when the cape which she had tied around her head was loosened her death was found to have been caused by suffocation In the mud. and not by drowning.

 Please do not consider me irrever- ent but if Admiral Dewey won his vic- tory over the fleet of our navy in Ma nila Bay by Divine aid,' I think 1t must have been the God of War--aid that iron gave him in conquering wood"
 Senor Pima said that his country prospered greatly since the war and intimated that defeat by America really developed fin a benefit to 1t rath- CT than a disadvantage. Tt caused the people to awake to the realiza- tion," he said. that they must be up and doing to keep pace with the times. particularly with an American prog ress, and following this both political and commercial conditions have great. ly improved"

LAWYER AND POLITICIAN ARREST
 ED BY SENATOR.
Coroner and Sheriff Proved Bad sIeuths by Local Business Man Who Finds Fugitive at su-
 burban Resort.

San Francisco, March s.--sheriff ONeill and Coroner Walsh having con fessed their inability to find, arrest and bring into court Abraham Ruef, the in- dicted lawyer and politician. who has been declared by Judge Dunne to be fugitive from justice. 1t devolved upon State Senator w. J. Biggy, local bus mess man, to discover the whereabouts of the defendant in hiding and take him into custody Ruef was found by Mir. Biggy at a suburban resort tonight,
 An order to this effect was made by Superior Judge Dunne late this after noon and Mir. Biggy was appointed elis- or and sworn in. The power conferred upon Biggy authorized him '4To take the body of Abraham Ruef, defendant in the case of the people against Abra- ham Ruef. for extortion, and to arrest and hold In custody said Ruef until the next session of the court. when you will be directed to bring said Ruef into the presence of this court, for trial as charged"
 This was not the only sensational de- velopment in today's proceedings in the Ruef case Samuel M. Shortridge, attorney of record for Ruef, incurred q severe rebuke from Judge Dunne dur ing an examination by Assistant Dis trict Attorney Heney into the incom- potency of Coroner Walsh appointed by the court as.substitute for the disrual- filed sheriff, O'Neill, to locate and ar- rest" the indicted politician. shortridge persisted in an effort to enter objection to a question put by Heney and he would not be silenced by the court, who finally adjudged him guilty of contempt and sentenced him to twenty-four hours Imprisonment in the county jail
 Shortridge, however, escaped imme- diate incarceration by applying to the District Court of Appeals for writ or habeas corpus on the ground that no contempt had been committed. The merits of this controversy will be ar- gued before Justices Cooper. Hall and Kerrfean Monday morning. In the meantime shortrfdge is at liberty on his own reeognizanee.
