What Others Say.
DO WE wANT sIBERlAg

The visit of Secretary Taft to st.
Petersburg is worrying the diplo-
mats wonderfully At least they are
doing all manner OF figuring upon
what may result from the visit. Taft
is coming to be known as the great
peace angel OF the administration
in some circles they would refer TO
him as a grand old jollier-and
whenever he visits a foreign country
ithe diplomats usually manage to find
something that ought to follow as a
consequence
At this time the Russians are talk
ing about Russo-American alliance
We have had every other sort of an
alliance thrown at us, SO that Rus
lso-American alliance does not alarm
lus. But when the Russians begin
talking about giving us Siberia, then
we ought to run. There Is no gener-
al demand in this country for Siberia
none that can be seen or heard or
felt.
II seems that the Russians believe
that there Is to be another war be-
tween Russia and Japan. At least
many or them profess 10 think that
Japan expects ultimately to secure
Siberia from Russia and that she is
leven now preparing for the struggle.
No less a person than General Line
Witch Is quoted as saying upon the
subject:
Il rather would present the whole
iof Siberia to Americans than give
the Japanese burial ground for n
single soldier. The Americans helped
us to make peace, but we will urge
them now TO declare a war and
join us. We will be strong enough
on land, and know the Americans
VIII be strong enough in their excel
lent navy"
Just why America should declare
war, in order TO prevent Siberia from
falling into the hands OF Japan,
General Linevitch does not state.
But there does seem to be pretty
good reasons to believe that japan
expects another war with Russia at
no remote date. At least .Japan is
making many mysterious moves in
the East, and those moves are not
indicative OF Sunday school picnics.
For instance, here Is an Official report
recently sent to the general staff of
the Russian army by an officer de-
tailed for the purpose of finding out
the situation In Manchuria.
THE Japanese government is
erecting hastily in Manchuria and
Korea Notifications and sending enor-
nous quantities of ammunition to
the place. Under Disguise of va
rious business enterprises u they, are
buying properties from Cinnamon in
all OF the strategically important
points adjoining our Siberian from
tier, especially around Vladivostok
and Blagoveshtc chenak, to accumulate
the ammunition. Hundreds OF SIM
liar cases indicate the preparation for
war. Similar preparations are re-
ported in the navy and In the har-
bor OF KorsakOff. in Sakhalin" SAX
halin, 1t will be recalled, is the north
ern island, one-half of which Russia
ceded to japan when peace was de-
clared. 1t lies of the coast OF ST.
heria. and between that country
and the northern part Of Japan. But

VS.. the executor of the estate of the
late Mrs. Sara c. Thompson was be-
fore Probate Judge Hanlon's court this

testimony was offered tending to show
the growth of the city and the mad
visibility of building churches on the

win, maintains that the terms OF the
w Il provide that the church shall be
erected under the direction of the
executor and at places designated by
Mrs. Thompson and that he has no au-
thority to use the money in any man
ner not designated in the will.

MUST ANSWER
MURDER CHARGE
Shooting ARRAY Brings
Curry to Face Serious
Charge

A complaint will be drawn by Coun-
ty Attorney Needham, charging w. H.
Curry with murder in the first degree
as a result Of shooting at Kippen FRI
day night at which time z. A. Peter
son was shot through the head, result
ing in his death Saturday evening,
and Murray Gum was shot twice
through the thighs.
The Investigation of the case was
made by Coroner C. J. vassar and
County Attorney Needham, who re-
turned from Kippen last night. An
inquest was conducted yesterday and
from the evidence secured it is believed
the charge of murder in the first de-
gree can be supported by evidence be-
fore the district court.
The story of the shooting was re-
Iuctantly told on account of the gamb-
ling feature, which led up to the
fray and for which parties engaged in
the game fear prosecution at the hands
by the Teller Saturday evening is the
correct version of the shooting and
was substantiated by the evidence told
by the eye witnesses yesterday.
Curry was engaged in a game of
poker when Gum entered the room
and as Gum approached the table he
reached in front of Curry and grab
bed some money. Curry jumped to his
feet and commenced shooting, empty
ing a five-shot Iver Johnson 38-cali-
Der revolver two shots from which
took effect in Gums legs. one bullet
entered Peterson's forehead and the
other two went wild.
After emptying the gun Curry threw
1t at Gum, who was on the floor,
infiicting wound in the side of the
face and he then followed up the at
tack with a chair and was following
his lead when the row was stopped by
Ned Farr, who was delegated by the
proprietors of the place to preserve
order.
When the row was over Peterson
was lying in heap in the corner and
Gum was on the floor badly wounded.
The physician was called and after an
Peterson was taken to his
home, where he remained in an un-
lconscious condition until o'clock
Saturday evening. when he expired.
Gum is receiving treatment at his
rooms in the Kippen lodging house and
win be confined to his bed for several
weeks under the most favorable cir
'cumstances. 1t is stated at Kippen
that Gum has said he would not prose-
lcute the case against Curry, but when
seen by the officers yesterday would
have but little to say regarding the
affair.
The officers were told yesterday that
| Curry had stated to number of peo-
pie that he had secured the revolver
for the purpose of getting" Gum and
it Is believed the prosecution will use
such evidence to show a premeditation
| in the shooting which resulted in the
killing OF Peterson. an innocent per-
son.
