A RE.ADJUSTMtNT
 OF STOCK PRICES
The Business of Attaching Natural
 Values Has Been Entered Upon.

New York, July 10.-The rapid de- cline in the prices of stocks today was quite generally accepted as a read tustment from the artificial level established by manipulative tactics. St. Paul was the most acute sufferer. Union Pacific. Reading. Amalgamated Copper and the Hill stocks came next in the order in which they figured in operation of the manipulation of the market
 The filing of the governments suit against the American Tobacco com pany and the stated purpose of the New York public utilities commission to probe the local traction merger served to keep alive the sentiment of apprehension over government activity against corporations.
 A reduction in the price of copper was also an unsettling influence. An other decline in prices of the New York metal exchange kept alive the uneasiness over the stability market. The government crop report offered no helr to stocks. United States As de- clined F.

The convention was call ed to order in the presence of the gov ernor of the state, United States sena- tors. representatives, city, county and state officers and a distinguished gathering of clergy and laity from the four corners of the earth seated in the tent in which the meeting was held. There were delegates from Alaska, two full blooded Indians. a large delega- tion from Japan, delegates from the Dark Continent and every European country.

WAItR SHUT OFF
 FROM MANY HOMES
1t ConstruetiveIy Stopped Running Last Night at the Close of the Wa ter Departments Business Day.

The ten days in which water rates could be paid without penalty of Sl for neglect expired last night. The new rule of the water company had been so extensively advertised by the newspapers and by personal notices sent to water users that the result was very satisfactory.
 The department will begin this morning to turn the water off the premises for which advance payment has not been made. In many cases IL will make little difference for the owners or occupants have probably gone away for the summer and 1t will be cheaper for them to pay the turn ing on fee than it will be to keep up the rates for two or three months.
 A few sad cases of neglect by those who actually need water have oc- cured One of the most eminent or these sufferers of forgetfulness Is Henry George proprietor of the Club stables. But the members of the de- partment who are acquainted with the peculiarities of Mir. George rather expected this. In fact bets were made at odds of two to one that MT. George would forget 1t the short end takers being aware of that gentlemans ha- bituaI pre-occupation. However he will not be entirely without water for he gets it from the department from two sources. One is through stand pipe in the rear of his stables and the other is through a meter. The stand pipe source is the one cut off by MT. Georges forgetfulness. The meter service necessarily cannot be brought within the ten day arrangement.
 Perhaps some water users who have forgotten may imagine that 1T they call at the office before the water IS actually shut off they may escape the turning off fee. But that is a fatai error for the water went off con- structively and automatically with the close of the business day of the de- partment.

TRIAL OF GLASS
 GETS UNDER WAY
The Partial Story Of the Supervisor
 Who Confesses to Taking a Bribe.

San Francisco. July 10.-Very little was accomplished today in the trial of Louis Glass. Heney made to the jury the opening statement for the prose cution. in which he outlined the steps by Attorney Delmas of the defense so that the vice president of the Pacific States Telephone company paid Su- pervisor Charles Boxton now tempor- ary mayor a s5.OOO bribe to vote against the Home Telephone com .pany's application for rival franchise Then Boxton was called to the stand Though he is to be star witness for the state his inquisition today was skillfu,ly and frequently interrupted by Attorney Delmas of the defense that when he gave way temporarily to Clerk Ryan of the board of supervis- ors nothing of vital importance had been elicited.
 The examination of Ryan. who has served the supervisoral bodies since 1883 was directed by the prosecution to establishing the identity of the ap- plication submitted by the Home com pany and was momentarily interrupt ed by Delmas. whose views of what Heney might not ask under the law were at variance with the assistant district attorneys. The minutes of the board were under examination for in- troduction in proof of the making of the application and the subsequent awarding of the franchise to the Home company. when the afternoon session adjourned. It is thought Boxton will tonight on the witness stand tell the story of his own disgrace.

NO JAPANESE THREAT
 AGAINST CALIFORNIA
A Denial at the Japanese Embassy of
 Sensational Story From the Hague
Contradiction Other Publications Bearing Upon the Alleged Strained citations of the United States and Japan.

Washington. July 1O-From the state department and the Japanese embassy came swift conclusive de- nial, today of the accuracy of the state ment cabled from The Hague to the London Telegraph and printed this morning to the effect that Japan had made a categorical demand upon the United States for satisfaction in con- uection with the treatment of the Japanese in San Francisco and had served notice of her intention to deal with the Californians herself if the national government fails to do so. The state department said that the American public was fully aware of the nature of all exchanges that have taken place on the subject, that there has been no correspondence of recent date and that there are no negotia- tions in progress between the two gov ernments.
 This statement was confirmed at the Japanese embassy where it was positively stated that Ambassador Aoki was not going to Japan next fall as was reported by the Japanese newspapers. The ambassador declared that the Japanese diplomats are a carefully trained body of men not go- ing around talking indiscriminately.
 The statement that the mission of .s.N rcau of the Japanese foreign office was necessitated by the ambassadors unsatisfactory and meager reports re- garding Japanese conditions in the United States was called to Mir. Aoki's attention. He denied the report with great deliberation and said that no complaints had been received at the embassy of the character indicated. The ambassador confirmed what My akoa, counsellor of the embassy said yesterday, that the directors coming trip to the United States was to be taken because he had a vacation and wanted to visit the United States.
 The embassy. Aoki said he mad not received information of his contem- plated visit. The ambassadors ac- qUaintance with MT. Ishii dates back a very long time when the latter served the former in the capacity of secretary. The ambassador then told him he ought to visit the United States. that 1t would be very interesting and that there were things here showing the in- dustrial development of the United States which Japan ought to know Ishii, the ambassador, thought he would possibly go to Vancouver, Seat tie and San Francisco.
 The Japanese ambassador and staff deprecate the recent newspaper pub lications, inaccurate and misleading, about the relations between the United States and Japan and have patiently denied the daily stories calculated un- faVorably to the ~r~--. that friendly relations of the two countries. The story of the ambassadors return to his country is regarded as another ex- ample of a careless and inconsiderate publication.
 AOki. when his attention was called to the latter report said: 'I have not been summonsed to Tokio and I have no intention of going. I want to say as l said time and again. there is no situation there are no strained rela- tons between the United States and

MOVER
 FOR HAYWOOD
Head of the Federation On
 the Stand
He Explains the Fcdera- tiOn's Relation to the De- fense of Orchard.

Boise, Idaho, July 10.-Charles H. Mover went on the stand today, as a witness for Haywood and besides making "a positive denial of all the crimes attributed to him and other Federation leaders by Orchard, he of fered an explanation unsolicited. of the appearance of the Western Fed eration as the defendant of Orchard immediately after his arrest at Cald- we'll for the murder of Steunenberg.
 Mover swore that it was Jack Simp- kins who engaged Fred Miller at Spo- kane to go to Caldwell to represent Orchard then known as Hogan, that it was at the request of Simpkins that the witness and Haywood subsequent ly advanced s1.50O from the funds of the Federation to meet the expense of defending orchard.
 Mover made a self possessed wit ness and at the end of long day the defense expressed satisfaction over both his testimony and the probable impression it made upon the jurors. He is a man of good appearance and address and his low pitched voice was of pleasing tone. He displayed some nervousness when he first faced the court. but his examination had not proceeded far before he seemed quite at his ease.
 He will resume the stand tomorrow morning when the state will enter cross examination. His direct testi- mony took a very wide latitude and the way is open for an equally wide cross examination. Borah was the states questioner.

DAY PASSED
 PEACfABLY
No Opposition Developed In
 the N. r. A. Convention
Superintendent Stillwell and Principal Matthews Given Places of Honor.

Los Angeles. July 10.-The National Educational association concluded to- day the important executive work of it's sessions by electing Edwin G. Cool ey. superintendent of the Chicago city schools. president of the association together with other officers, including treasurer. eleven vice presidents, a board of directors. one from each state or territory, and adopted by a unanimous vote the new charter and by laws provided by act of congress. There was no opposition, with a sin gle exception. to the program outlined last Monday. Miss Elizabeth Shirley, teacher of the Los Angeles schools. formerly of Omaha made a spirited speech before the convention in oppo- sition to the proposed charter which she claimed placed all the funds of the association in the hands of the board of trustees and paved the way for a possible misuse of them.
 Miss Shirley's language was bitter in her reference to some of the lead CTS of the association whom she did not name and whom she charged with collision with the school book trust. Miss Shirley was completely outvoted in the convention. Tonight her charges was the talk of the members and it is not unlikely that some de- velopments of a more or less inter esting nature may ensUe. In inter views she promised sensational dis closures, but so far her assertions re- main unsupported
 Tomorrow the directors will select the next convention city. Most those in attendance at the convention are associate members only, as was shown by attendance at the meeting today for active members only. which was attended by about 300.
 The association voted today to ap- point a committee of three members to work for a national university to be established by the federal govern ment at Washington.
 Congress will be petitioned to estab- fish such an institution. Messrs Cool ey. Reyes. and Nash spoke before the convention. Messrs. Miller. Wegener and McIvor spoke before the second- ary department
 Among the officers elected were J. F. Stilwell of Phoenix, Ariz.. as fifth vice president and A. J. Matthews. director for Arizona.

The petition shows that the total assets exceed s275. 000.0 and asserts that the members of the combination have di- vided up the tobacco trade of the world each retaining certain territory It asserts that the American company in 1901 secretly secured control of the United Cigar Stores company and since had been engaged in dominating the retail trade.

O'BRIEN
 MAY VISIT PHOENIX
The Newly Appointed Representative
 To the Tokio Government Has Been
 Invited to Stop Here on His Way to
 the Far East.

It is not improbable that Phoenix will shortly be favored by the visit of a distinguished man in the person of Thomas J. O'Brien of Grand Rapids. Mich. recently appointed to succeed Lloyd Griscom as ambassador to Ja- pan. MT. O'Brien is personally a re- markable man and in addition to that fact there would be more than usual interest in his visit at this time. since recent circumstances have made the post to which he has been appointed, the most important and the most deli cate one to fill. of any office in for eign land which an American can be called upon to fill.
 The probability of Mir O'Brien's visit depends entirely upon his ac- ceptance or rejection of an invitation extended by Judge J. M. Jamison of this city. an acquaintance and person. al friend as well as a fellow towns man in Grand Rapids. for many years Immediately upon learning of his se- lection for this foreign mission Judge Jamison wrote to Mir. O'Brien saving that in the event of his trip to Japan being via the west. he hoped he could so arrange his affairs as to spend at least a day in Phoenix and vicinity, promising him a cordial welcome by the people of Phoenix and a view of what is destined to be in a few years the most wonderful valley in all the
