Such is Opinion of a London
Correspondent at the Peace
Conference.
Saws Japan is Insisting on the R'ent
TO Deal Directly With California
Unless the Powers at Washing
ton Are Able to Control
That State.

Tondon.-The correspondent OF the
Daily Telegraph at The Hague SENDS
in dispatch which purports TO re-
feet the views prevailing there on
the Japanese-American situation
which he declares to be more absorb
ing than the conference itself.
The correspondent says that as re-
suit of his inquiries he learns the SIT
uation is really strained, although
both governments are trying to con-
ceal the fact. He asserts that since
June 90 the question has entered upon
an acute phase. Japan has been SEND
ing the United States extremely cate
gorical notes stating without bitter
ness but in the clearest terms the dl-
lena that unless Washington is able
to control California Japan VIII con-
slider herself free TO act directly
against California. Nothing, however,
yet has been exchanged precluding a
pacific settlement, but many of the
Japanese at The Hague are OF the
opinion that the Japanese government
ought to act without delay and not
give America time to utilize her vast
resources and economic potentiality, a
hundred fold greater than Japan's, TO
perfect warlike preparations.

Sensational Scene at Senten-
cling of San Frantisc0'S
Chief Executive
Convicted Man Talks Back to the
Court, Declaring That HumIilating
Remarks Should be Desisted
From and Sentence be Pro-
nounced at once.

San Francisco.--The sentence of
Mayor Eugene Il. Schmitz to five
years in San Quentin penitentiary for
extortion, and the commencement. and
partial completion of the selection OF
jury TO try Vice President Louis
Glass of the Pacific States Telegraph
company on the first Of ten charges
OF biibing supervisors, were the fea-
lures of Monday in the bribery-graft
proceedings.
The sentencing of SchmitZ was one
of the most dramatic scenes ever
witnessed In western court. The
effectiveness of the fearful denuncia-
ton of the convicted mayor as deliv-
cred by Superior Judge Frank ii.
Dunno prior to the passing of judg-
ment was heightened by the demeanor
of the prisoner, who time and again
interrupted the court to demand that
these humiliating remarks" be de-
sisted from and that "the court do its
duty" by pronouncing sentence at
once, AT the conclusion, as the words
"be confined In the state penitentiary
at San Quentin for a term of five
years" fell from Judge Dunne's lips,
the great crowd that packed the court
room burst into cheer.
Hats were thrown into the air, arms
were waved and there was such an un-
restrained clatter of applause that the
bailiirs pounding for order could not
be heard.
Once, while the sentence impended,
the judge threatened to send Attor-
ney Metson of the mayors counsel to
Jail for contempt because he decried
the courts comments as Cruel and
unusual punishment" and Metson
was told by Dunno that he ought to
be begging day in court to defend
himself against the charge of having
tampered with a witness In the case.
Again, resultant of the crowds cheer
ing of the sentence, Judge Dunno OBJ
served that IF we had a sheriff
worthy the name the disturbance
would have beeen squelched. Sher-
iff ONeil protested that nobody
could stop it."
The defense filed bill of excep-
tions after motion for a new trial and
motion for an arrest of judgment had
been denied, and Judge Dunno granted
a certificate of probable cause, upon
which Schmitz will go to the district
court of appeals for new trial.

Aims at Target, Shoots Sister.

Salt Lake City.-Marguerite Gold
ing, aged 20, was accidentally shot
and probably fatally wounded by her
brother, Brigham Golding, 12 years
Old, Tuesday evening. She is now at
ST Marks hospital and is believed to
be fatally injured. The little boy was
shooting with a ,22-calibre rifle at a
target on the wall of the coal shed at
the Golding residence. Miss Golding
passed through the shed Just as the
boy fired. The bullet went through
the thin wall and struck her back of
the left ear. The bullet penetrated
the skull and lodged in the brain.

RERLIN's GLOOMY VIEW.
Widespread Conviction That Conflict
viii Come.

Berlin-The conviction Of an ulti-
mate conflict between Japan and the
United States appears to be wide
spread in Germany. 1t is one of the
subjects certain to be referred to
wherever diplomatists and military
naval officials and others accustomed
to follow international politics meet.
The newspapers agree that President
Roosevelt Is earnestly trying to salts
fy the Japanese requests. They agree
also that Japan asks nothing unrea.
sonable. They recognize that the diff.
ficulty lies in the question Of race, the
economic antagonism of the Califor-
mans against the Japanese and the
constitutional impossibility Of federal
coercion.
1t is believed by many that the
group of ruling statesmen in Japan
are preparing to fight the United
States for the mastery of the Paci.
fic, regardless of the San Francisco
incidents.
The stragetgists of the admiralty re-
gard naval war between Japan and
the United States as the most interest
ing problem of the day. Careful
studies that have been eworked out
are unfavorable to the United States,
because the American feet, although
of greater power than that of Japan.
would have to seek fight in Japan's
home waters.

Could Fight Japs While Getting Rich,
Says CONGRESSMAN Hull.

Des Moines. Iowa Neither Japan
nor the United States want war at
this time" said Congressman Hull,
chairman of the house committee on
military affairs, Tuesday morning.
There is big element in Japan who
would welcome war, but the ruling
classes are too wise to pick quarrel
with the United States, If there is
war we will at first lose the Philip
pines and Hawaiian islands, but we
would triumph in the end, for the
United States would build warships
and fight out victory. We are the
only nation which can conduct war
and get rich at the same time

RICHEST MAN IN WORLD
FACES JUDGE IN COURT
John o. Rockefeller Swears He Knows
But Little About Standard Oil
Company, OF Which He
is the Head.

Chicago ID. Rockefeller, pres
ident OF the Standard Oil company OF
New Jersey, occupied the witness
stand in the United States district
court on Saturday while Judge Lands
piled him with questions regarding the
financial strength and the business
methods of the corporation of which
he is the head.
Mr., Rockefeller was very willing
and an equally unsatisfactory witness.
He was ready to tell all that he knew,
but he said that he knew practically
nothing. The net result of his exam
inatioD was that he believed during
the year $1903, 1904 and 1905, the pc
riod covered by the indictments on
which the Standard Oil company Of
Indiana was recently convicted, the
net profits of the Standard Oil com
pany of New Jersey were approx.
mately 40 per cent of an outstanding
capitalization of s100,000,000.
The investigation held by Judge
Lands was instituted by him for the
express purpose of determining
whether or not the Standard Oil com.
pany of Indiana, which was convicted
of violation of the law, was really
owned by the Standard Oil company
of New Jersey whether the Union
Tank Line, whose cars were used for
the shipments made in violation Of
the law, was similarly owned. and
also to obtain an idea of the financial
resources of the convicted corporation
in order to inflict fine proportionate
to the offense and the assets of the
convicted company.

The Need of the Panama Canal.
IIlrn,,, tho Phila de mia Press

There is today put BEFORE every Am
erican citizen a conc ate reason for the
hasty completion of the Panama canal.
War with Japan is not imminent. nor
can anyone forsee when such a con-
f1ict may occur. because there are now
no reasons for it. But the Pacific
is always there, and the nations that
surround it will be there. Pacific COM
merce will grow greater and with it
will expand the problems controlling
it. With the Panama canal in use. the
shifting Of the battle ship fleet from
the Atlantic to the Pacific will be as
little trouble as sending it from West
Indian waters to Newport. 1t can go
and come and never be without the
easy range of coaling stations on the
American mainland. The quick build
ing of the canal will put an invincible
instrument in the hands of the United
States, which in time of war with any
power on the Pacific would become an
all-conquering weapon.
