mia amounted to nothing, and it is clear that the senders of the petition or ad- dress which is directed to other Ameri- can cities as we'll as to New York have been misled by grossly exaggerated sto- ries of those occurrences Against such stories may be set the very significant truth that there are today many thou sands of Japanese in California, that they are found in all the cities and towns and out on the ranches, that they conduct business without molestation, are employed commonly as laborers or house servants, and that even so, one or two insignificant rows in San Fran cisco is up to this time the extent of the race war.
 To be sure, the exclusion question is not disposed of as yet, but it should be possible to settle it in rational manner to the satisfaction of both na- tions, and commerce should be it's own governor. If it follows its usual rule it will value business above race hatred

DISTRIBUTION OF
 FOREST RECEIPTS
Over Twice as Much as Last Year to Be Distributed Among Arizona Coun- ties-Gila County Will Get Second
 Largest Sum with Coconino in Lead.

Under the agricultural appropriation act for 1908 10 per cent of all money received for the fiscal year from each forest reserve, shall be paid by the secretary of the treasury to the treas urer of the state or territory in which the reserve is located. This money is to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the state or territory concerned, for the benefit of the school and road funds of the counties in which the reserves are sit uated, in proportion to the area of the reserves in each county. It is provid- ed, however, that no county shall re. ceive an amount in excess of 40 per cent of it's revenues from all other sources.
 Governor Kibbey has been notified that the amount for distribution in Arizona this year is approximately ST ,46910, or two and two-tenths as great as the distribution of last year, when the policy first went into effect. Following is given table showing the amounts distributed last year in the respective counties, and the approxi- mate amounts that will be available this year, worked out for each county by multiplying last years apportion- ment by 2.2:

SUICIDES WITH A TRUNK STRAP
Phoenix Man Takes Novel Method of Shuffiing Off--Strangles Himself to Death by Hanging from Strap Four Feet from Floor in Hotel.

One of the most peculiar suicides in the history of Phoenix took place last night when man giving the name of Copeland committed suicide at the Star lodging house by hanging himself from nail, says the Democrat.
 The hotel porter discovered the body about 10 o clock this morning when he went to the room to make the bed. Acting Coroner Johnstone was at once notified and the body was removed to an undertaking establishment.
 The man went to the lodging house about II O clock last night, registered simply as Copeland and went at once to his room. Close investigation of the room revealed the fact that Cope. land, or "Patsy," as he is better known around Phoenix, had not gone to bed at all, and the rigidity of the body made it practically certain that he had hanged himself almost immediately on entering the room.
 The case is peculiar in several res poets. The man hanged himself with light trunk strap which was fastened to nail in the wall not more than four and one-half feet from the floor. There was another nail about foot above it, and the way Copeland chose the lower nail is mystery.
 It is evident that he fastened the strap to the nail, adjusted the moose to his neck and got down on his knees to await strangulation. But he was still too high to choke, so he slipped down to a seated posture. He could at any time, before he became unconscious, have raised himself and relieved the strain, but it seems that he was deter mined to die, for there were no evi- dences of any effort to prevent strangu- lation. His hands were not clinehed, and it did not appear that his death was especially painful.
 In view of the peculiar features of the suicide, Coroner Johnstone was in- clined to suspect foul play, thinking possibly someone had killed Copeland and had hung him to the wall to avert detection. Careful investigation, how ever failed to bring anything to light to support this hypothesis.
 No letters could be found or anything else discovered to throw light upon the suicide s past or his motives in taking his life. A partly opened knife was found lying on top of the washstand beside him, but whether or not he put it there in case he might want to cut his throat is not known.
 Copeland has lived in this vicinity for a good many years. He was a blacksmith by trade and had a shop at the Hualapai mines for number of years.

ROOSEVELT REORGANIZATION IS
 CERTAIN

Although it has taken some time for the news to reach the United States proper, admirers of President Roosevelt in general and Senator Bourne and oth- CT advocates of the "seeond-eleetive- term" idea in particular, will be de- lighted to learn that the renomination of MT. Roosevelt has been definitely ar ranged. By the last Philippines mail there arrived the usual collection of Manila newspapers, and it is one of these, the Cablenews, which brings the glad tidings. In its issue of Sunday, June 23, the Cablenews displays prom inently on its first page a paragraph under the following caption: ''The Third Term Up Again-Blue Grass Men Nominate Him There-Foolish Action of the Kentuekians shown by Waiter son of Louisville" The paragraph it. self is dated San Francisco, June 2l, and is as follows:
 At the convention of the Repub- hcan state delegates of Kentucky at Lexington yesterday it was resolved to nominate President Roosevelt for a third term"
 The matter being thus settled, simply and smoothly, without any strife or con fusion, we take it that the numerous receptive candidates for the Republican nomination will cease the expenditure of time and money in their own behalf and will turn to and work hard for the election of the nominee. If the Cable news will now favor us with an equally clear and positive statement concerning the identity of the Democratic candi- date, vast amount of pickering and hard work and uncertainty that wor Id otherwise be in evidence between now and this. time next year may be avoid ed.
 We commend the new method of set ting such matters, even though it did have it's genesis in one of our distant insular possessions. The only featuru that worries us now is the failure of the dispatch, as quoted, to tell just how 1t was that Watterson of Louisville showed up the foolish action of the Kentuckians aforesaid.--Washington Herald.

THE JAPANESE WAR AND AFTER

The New York Chomber of Commerce has received the joint request from the chambers of commerce of Tokio, Osaka, Kioto, Yokohama and Kobe that it use its good offices to offset the anti-Japan. csc sentiment in the United States.
 This is reminder that in the remote past some weeks ago we, or few of us, were engaged in furious war with Japan that caused divers explosions of patriotism and resulted in the silliest exhibition to which the country has been treated in years. The importance of the campaign may be pretty fairly estimated by the fact that even now it is almost forgotten. It had it's pro- per climax in ridiculous collapse.
 The Japanese petitioners, however, go into particulars that have an interest independent of the passing craze. They speak of the hostility that has been manifested toward Japanese residents on the Pacific coast, and say that unless the ill feeling that has been aroused in that section can be overcome it may have bad effect upon the commercial relations between the two countries.
 We have already pointed out that the so-ealled anti-Japanese riots in Califor.

 WASHINGTON, August 6.-The courtmartial which recently convened at Fort Monroe, Va, found First Lieu tenant George Trumbo, Twelfth United States cavalry, not guilty of conduct nnbecoming an officer and gentleman but guilty of conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline in writing the following letter to Mrs Lettie Sims in reference to her son, an enlisted man, who had served under him:
 Dear Madam: It gives me great pleasure to inform you that your son Earl Sims, who is about the most worth less scoundrel I ever saw, is deserter from the United States army
 I sincerely hope to see him behind the bars for at least two years. I hope this will be a source of condolence to you. am,
 Very respectfully,
 GEORGE TRUMBO The sentence of the court was that Trumbo should be reprimanded by the reviewing authorities and be confined to the limits of the station for two months. In approving the sentence of the court, Mayor General Grant, com handing the Department of the East holds that the sentence is entirely in. adequate, and that it should have been sufficiently severe to guarantee that he would not again be guilty of such con duet.
