PREACHERS IN COURT
CHATTANOOGA MINISTER'S CALLED
 AS WITNESSES.
Contempt Case of Sheriff shipp Is Progressing slowiy-Many New witnesses Called and More
 Alibis Established.

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 2f.-At the afternoon session of the contempt case of Sheriff J. F. shipp it was decided that Monday next all the ministers of Chattanooga will ba called as witness es. The object in calling the preachers is to determine whether or not the possible lynching of Ed Johnson was discussed in the meeting of the pas tors association. A conference was held this afternoon, attended by the at- tornevs in the case and a number of the members of the pastors associa- ton.
 The morning session was given over to the hearing of character witnesses in the case of three of Sheriff shipps' deputies. namely Joseph Clark, Matt Galloway and Marion Perkins.
 All witnesses gave them exceptional ly clean records.
 According to the proof taken this morning, Clark was at his home in sherman Heights the night of the lynching, and not in the city at all. This fact was established by several witnesses, despite Joe Franklin's tes- timony to the contrary. It was also established that Clark had not acted as a deputy for several months prior to the lynching and that he had noti- fled Capt Shipp that he would devote his entire time to the grocery busi-
 
 ness.
 In the course of the examination of these witnesses 1t was plainly brought ont that there was no hint that a lynch ing would occur and the affair came as A surprise to every one. The witnesses testified that the action of the Supreme Court Is granting stay of execution did not cause comment or arouse ex- citement Assistant Attorney General Stanford went into the greatest detail in his cross examination. but he failed to shake the testimony of the witnesses on these points. MT. Sanford showed familiarity with the city and the sub urbs and the density of the population toward sherman heights.
 WhSn the case ot Matt Galloway was brought into the evidence the Govern ment attorneys attempted to mako capi- tal out of the alleged fact that this officer had engaged in several fights. However, 1t was brought out that all of these difficulties were in the dis charge of his duties and that force was necessary when the prisoners re- sisted arrest. One witness stated that he had heard of fight in which Gallo way was engaged In. during the August election last year. but when J. C. Nc Ghee testified about the occurrence 1t was brought out that all the part Gal lowav had in the affair was to arrest the participants in the fight. The wit nesses introduced this morning in be- half of Marion Perkins were to show his character.
 None of the cases were disposed of when court adjourned this evening to s:3o o'clock Monday morning.

SMALL IS REPUDIATED.
Deputy President kOnenkRmp Ex-
 presses His Surprise.


 New York, June 21.-The strike Of the Western Union and Postal Teleg- raphers at San Francisco today came as a surprise to the officials of these com panies, following, as 1t did, so close on the supposed settlement of the diff ferences through United State Com missioner of Labor Charles P. Nein and the subsequent statements py President Clowry of the Western Union and E. J. Nally, General Man ager of the Postal Company.
 As late as noon today Deputy Presi- dent Konenkamp of the Commercial Photographers Union gave out that there would be no strike at San Fran cisco. that evidently President Small had not seen the report of the settle ment when he announced that San Francisco operators would quit work today. The repudiation of the settle ment by President Small. therefore. caused surprise to the union officials in this city, and it was intimated that the National Executive Board would he called together immediately to con- sider that officials action. No official word came from President Small ex- cept the quoted interview in which he said the strike was local to San Fran cisco and Oakland.
 MT. Konenkamp said.

A0KI IS RETAINED
THE ANNOUNCEMENT CAUSES MUCH
 SURPRISE.
Washington officials Believe That Pres ent Jap Ministry Has Support Of Both Unfonists And
 Conservatives.

Washington, June 21.-The formal announcement by viscount -Hayashi. the Japanese Minister of Foreign Af- fairs. in Fokfo despatch published to- day, that Ambassador Aoki is to be re- tained at Washington. is regarded here as clearly establishing the fact that the present Japanese ministry, headed by Marquis Saionji, has assured itself of the support of both, the unionist and conservative parties in It's present at- titude toward America. For a time there was some doubt in Washington even in the minds of the officials at the Japanese embassy as to the power behind the demand of Count Okuma for the substitution for Aoki at Wash ington of a strong man, by which the term was understood he meant a Japanese committed in advance to the policy of demanding from America full rights of citizenship, of residence and immigration for Japanese.
 Aoki had realized early the impos- sibility of securing all of these rights at this time, because of the inability of the national government to dominate state administration. His reports to his own government to that effect with the plain intimation that 1t was advis- able to seek. instead of unlimited rights, only those that might reason ably be expected to be conceded nt this time-an opportunist policy-at first caused a disagreeable impression in Japan.
 It is quite certain that the Sionji ministry was for time somewhat talk en back at the expulsion of popular immigration evidenced in the publica- tions in the opposition newspapers in Japan and 1t even is surm!se1 tbat there was a slight weakening and 9 disposition to make some concessions. But soon after the agitation had reached its height the Japanese inter ests began to feel a very strong pres sure from abroad, conveying a clear warning that a quarrel with Amer lea would leave Japan friendiess and cer- tanly would discourage the investment of foreign capital in Japans enter prises.
 With this favorable influence the Sioniji ministry had little difficulty in securing the adhesion Of two great par ties in Japan to its policy and the an nouncement made from Tokio through thJ Associated Press relative to Am bassador Aoki's tenure as regarded as convincing evidence that Count Auko- mi's onslaught has failed.
 Secretary Root left Washington to- day for his summer home near Utica, N Y. and Ambassador Aoki intends to remain at Buena Vista, Md, during the holiday term, and 1t Is not expected that there will be any important dir- Iomatic exchanges between the ann bassador and Washington in the near future.

NeiII Expresses Surprise.

Washington, June 21.--When shown the bulletin from San Francisco an- nouncing that a strike would go into effect there, Commissioner c. P. Neill, of the Bureau of Labor. said that he could not understand the meaning of the move unless there was a dispute between President Small and Deputy Konenkamp of the union. He said he felt confident that MT Konenkamp will do anything in his power to prevent a general strike.
 Later. when MT. Neill learned that the strike was likely to be confined to San Francisco and Oakland, he said that 1t did not appear tol affect the settlement arranged in New York
 Commissioner Nelll, who was dele gated by President Roosevelt to act for him in the matter of requests for executive intervention to prevent q general strike of .telegraphers, returned to his office today from New York. where a settlement of the difficulty had been announced.
 He had read the statement of Presi- dent Small of the telegraphers' union, made in San Francisco, declaring that a guerilla war" would be carried on throughout the country, and expressed great surprise. He had every reason to believe that Deputy President Koen- kamp was fully authorized to treat for the telegraphers in the negotiations In New York which resulted in a sup posed settlement.
 Until some action is taken by Mfr. Small in stating that he does not i'm tend to regard the settlement as made in good faith, Mir. Neill says that he will consider the matter as closed.

FRENCH SOLDIERS QUIT
 SERVICE IN FACE OF REVOL I

ohtainable> and men and women lis- tened to the debate which at times was somewhat heated.
 Premier Clemenceau lost no time in imparting to the delegates the news from Narbonne, adding to the infor- nation already published the fact that more than hundred soldiers were en- gagged in the fighting yesterday with the rioters. The latter. he said, had disappeared from the streets. Th< peasants from the surrounding villa ~ terrified at the shooting, took the first trains for home. Then, amid impress sive silence, the premier gave the of ficial version of the mutiny of the bat talion of the 17th infantry at Agdea and its march to Beziers, fully confirm ing the dispatches of the Associated Press on the subject The premier add ed that he could not listen to any proposition for the conditional surren- der of the mutineers as 1t would be a most fatal move for the government to capitulate to the soldiery. He con- cluded with demanding a vote of con- fidence in the government so thct min- isters could carry out in the name of the chamber. the work of repression on which in the future much depended. The opposition deputies fiercely at tackled the ministers, accusing them of
 
 the south. asserting that the Cuirras- siers acted like Cossacks: that the wo- men and children had been slaughtered and insisted that the release of M. Ferrol, formerly mayor of Narbonne, would alone restore calm. Otherwise one of the speakers asserted, the bloody rioting of today will be the rev olution of tomorrow"
 After six hours debate the chamber generally adopted this view and by 327 to 223 votes decided to support the cabinet.
 After the terrorist events of yester- day. the situation at Narbonne today was comparatively calm. The soldiers were in such force that the inhabi- tants were temporarily coerced to in- activity. The wreckage resulting from last nights riots still filters the streets and all the stores and banks are closed and barred up.
 The receipt of dispatch from Be- ziers later in the day announcing that the mutinous battalion has decided to return to the rest of the regiment caused decided satisfaction in official circles as 1t was hoped that the action taken would head off any further in- subordination among the troops.

We appreciate the great assistance given to us by the Government through Mg Neill, and we shall not stultify our. selves.
