GRAVE CHARGES
AGAINST HAMMET

Statements by Attorneys, Messrs.
Stevenson and Matheson. Who Are
Outspoken in Their Declaration to
the Courts, Reflects Very Serious.
Iy on the Ex Chief Constable of the
State ConstabuIary. i
''The afidavits were obtained by a
method of legerdemain, which in
most instances smacks of fraud, and
men like Mr.. Tate of Eutawvile were
tricked by their former chum, Mr..
Hammet, into signing ignorantly
what was not true" is the positive
characterization of the arts of q. B.
Hammet, deputy collector of internal
revenue for South Carolina and for
mer chief dispensary constable for
South Carolina, contained in the brief
of Messrs. Stevenson & Matheson,
attorneys for the State dispensary
commission in the matter of the
assessments of internal revenue taxes
against the State of South Carolina.
On the strength of affidavits alleg-
ed to have been secured from various
dispensers throughout the State Off
c~s serving under him and now on
file in the Office of Maj. Micah Jen-
kins, collector of internal revenue
for the district of South Carolina, de-
mand was made upon the dispensary
commission on May Z, for $s2,527 for
license fees claimed to be due the
United States government as result
of the fact, as alleged, that dispen-
sers had sold beer in greater quantities
than 4 7-s gallons in single sales,
making them liable to the wholesale
liquor dealers license; $4,527 of this
amount, covered a period of fifteen
months prior to the date when the
demand was made upon the commits
sion for settlement; the other $4,000
being charged up for the period be-
yond that date.
The dispensary commission paid the
first named amount, $4,527, under pro-
test and on July 2 w. F. Stevenson
appeared before the commission of
internal revenue, John G. Capers, at
Washington, and argued for the re-
funding of the amount, his grounds
being: (1) That there was no proof
that sales were made in wholesale
quantities; (2) that, if the proof
were convincing that dispensers had
made sales in greater quantities than
ATS gallons, the State would not, be
liable insomuch as any such action
would be clearly in violation of the
statute law of the State and of in
structions givento the dispensers from
time to. time by those in authority.
Mr.. Stephenson submitted numer-
Gus, afidavits to, the commissioner of
internal revenue from dispen sers
throughout the State, and, according
to those affdavits, Mr.. Hammet had
resorted to most questionable means
to secure the afidavits which, it is
said, are on, file at the Office of Maj.
jenkins. Several of the safddavits
submitted by Mr.. Stephenson contain
charges against Mr.. Hammet of a
serious nature. tt is alleged that
Hammet secured the afhdavits in a
fraudulent manner, and, not only
that, but that he made interlineations
after the affdavits were signed.-

WILL EXPLAIN PLAN.
Washington Officials to Attend Pub.

Washington, June 12.-The pres
dent was In conference with Secre
tary Garfield, Senator Carter, Com
missioner Ballinger, of the Land OF
flee, and Director Newall, of the Re.
clamation Service, concerning the
public lands convention in Denver
ten days bence.
1t will be attended by those OF
other government officials, including
Secretary Wilson and Forester Pin
chot.
While no statement regarding the
days conference was announced it is
understood that the administrative
officials will go to Denver prepared
to explain and, II necessary, to de-
fend the course that has been pur-
sued.
1t will be contended that the plan
has been to preserve public lands for
the actual settler and to regulate the
forest reserves so as to conserve the
water supply and protect the timber
The withdrawal of coal lands by
executive order year ago will be
defended as necessary for proper
and it will be shown
that much of the withdrawn land
has been restored. The principal at
tack Is expected to be made on the
forest reserve policy, but Mr.. Pinchot
and others will be prepared to con-
tend that all has been done in the
public interest.

JAPAN AGAIN AROUSED.
Widely Circulated Paper Asks People
to Take Hand.

Toxic, June 13.-The Mainichi, pub.
lished at Osaka and claiming to have q
circulation of 25O, 900, expresses anger
today at the reported recent attack on
a Japanese horticulturist at Berkeley,
Cal. 1t says:
"The outrage demonstrates the impo-
tency of the California authorities to
protect our compatriots. Now is no
time to rest assured on the stereotyped
diplomatic assurances from the Wash
ington government. Only two weeks
after a positive declaration to take pre-
ventive measures to safeguard Japanese
rights comes the Berkeley outrage.
"The personality Of President Roose-
welt towers high among living great
men and deserves full confidence, but
promises, however high sounding and
lreassuring, and the promise maker,
however high in character, is of no val
ue whatever if unaccompanied by deeds.
"The poweressness Of the California
and Federal governments is thus de-
wnonstrated and it only remains to take
the work of protection in our own
ihands.
THAT the outrages are of limited
local occurrence is not a sufficient ex-
planation."

MAY HAVE DISPUTE At HAGUE
Japanese Scheme OF Aggression Op-
posed by America.

New York, June IA Vienna dis
patch to the Herald quotes a delegate
to The Hague conference, said to be the
representative Of great power, as de.
claring that Japan lie to hurl bomb
into the conference by bringing forward
the question of right of conquerer to
annex territory subjugated with all that
is upon it.
This will be warmly denied by both
Russia and the United States, the
Herald's informant is quoted as saying.
The Russians have large private prop
critics In Manchuria, and the United
States considerable mining and other
interests in Corea. OF such interests
Japan proposes to deprive them. At all
events, that is to be the object of her
proposition.
The United States proposes to bring
a motion diametrically opposed tc that
of Japan, and this, in view of the pres
ent existing controversy between Japan
and America, it is easy to see has all
the makings Of first-class information

Washington, June l3.-From evi.
.dence given today before the Interstate
Commerce commission it is very plain
that J. j. Hill and f. H. Hartman
have mapped out the Northweet, each
taking q distinctive territory, from
which the other is effectively barred.
Particularly is this true of the lumber
business. 1t is practically impossible,
under the existing freight rates and ar
rangements, for Oregon lumbermen to
compete with Puget Sound in markets
tributary to the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, and likewise impossi-
ble for Puget Sound manufacturers to
invade territory tributary to the Harri-
man lines.
And go far az the respective railroad
systems are concerned, neither has any
desire to invade the others territory.
Both acknowledge their utter incom.
potency to handle the business that is
offered them and each objects to being
compelled to take care OF the surplus of
the other.
At the close of the morning session
Mr.. Jeffreys, attorney for the Gould
system, announced to the commission

progressive Party Would Demand In
demnity and Apology.
Washington, June 11.-That the
Japanese-Pacific Coast and the Pro.
gressives, a political party of Jap.
anese, have entered into an alliance
which has the ear-marks Of an inter.
national conspiracy. with the over
throw Of the present ministry In ia
pan and the annulment Of the clause
in the immigration bill excluding
japanese coolie labor from continen-
tai United States, as the ultimate OBJ
jects, was learned authoritatively
here. The preliminary steps in this
scheme, 1t Is said, will be to induce
the Toxic government to recall Wis.,
count Aoki. the Japanese Ambassa-
dor to the United States, for the al
legged acts of violence against Jap
anese subjects residing in San Fran
cisco.
With this end In view, representa-
tives of the faction hostile to the
Saonji ministry have been in Wash
ington to consult with the japanese
Ambassador and the State Depart
ment officials regarding the objec-
tionable clause in the immigration
bill, the California school question
and the recent riots in San Fran
cisco. The report which they have
sent to Toxic, it is alleged, will form
the basis of a systematic campaign to
bring about anti-American demon
strations in Japan, and to force Min
lister Hayashi, if possible, to demand
indemnity and an apology on account
Of the Japanese disturbances in San
