Chicago, July IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says
that when the American battleship
feet starts on its 1900 mile cruise
to the Pacific ocean, it will proceed
under war conditions. Imaginary
enemies will be discovered on the
route which will have to be repelled; +;
ships will steam in different forma-
tions; at night searchlights will be
used to pick up other vessels and to
signal, and wireless telegraphy will
be employed for conveying orders and
information. In word, the fleet
will be not only constantly prepared,
but will conduct maneuvers designed
to increase its effectiveness.
The result of the program mapped
out by the authorities will be that a
more efficient command will report at
San Francisco.
1T is evident the cruise will be the
hardest that has been undertaken by
American warships since the battle
ship Oregon made its. record-break-
ing trip from San Francisco TO Key
West during the Spanish war.

PAST FRIENDSHIP

New York, July 11.-Keiroku Tzu.
zuki, a Japanese statesman of cabi
net rank and ambassador plenipeten.
tiary of his country to The Hague
conference, is quoted at length in
the Herald to-day in a special cable
dispatch on the prevailing reports
regarding the relations of Japan and
the United States. Mr. Tzuzuki, ac
cording to the Herald cable CORE
spondent, has the fullest confidence
of his government ant;,r what he says
may be taken as rejecting the views
of ministerial. official and intelligent
Japanese sentiment. In beginning his
statement, Mr. Tzuzuki said there
must be a serious misunderstanding
somewhere.
Misunderstanding Somewhere.
'Of all the countries in the world,
he said, the United States is the
very last Japan seeks any trouble
with. Japan is a very young nation
among the family of nations Young
nations like ourselves are full of SEN
sibihty. and deeply sensible as to

I'VE remember that during the last
war, when we were engaged in a tt
tanic and supreme struggle. the en-
tire sympathy of the United States
was with us. That left a deep i'm
preston upon us. as America will
find in the future.
'.The understanding between our
respective governments is perfect. So
it is, l most firmly believe, between
the most intelligent people in both
countries"
In reply to question regarding the
sending of an American feet to the
Pacific, Mr.. TZuZuki said:
Il say without hesitation that
Japan would look upon the cruise
with the idea that no better time
than the present could be chosen,
just when the two governments are
in most perfect accord"

JACK NICHOLS WAS THE STAR
WITNESS OF THE STATE, AND
TOLD OF THE GAMBLING HOUSE
DEAL-WARD OFFERED POLICE
PROTECTION TO THE PLAYERS.

w. c. Ward and George Suarez,
charged on two counts with being
the prOprietOrs of a gambling house
and keeping place for the purpose
Of gambling, were convicted in the
Criminal Court yesterday afternoon
on both counts, the jury being out
about ten minutes before returning
a verdict. The trial consumed the
entire day, commencing early in the
forenoon and concluding about 4:3G
o'clock. Judge Chas H. Laney rep
resented the defendants, and the
prosecution was conducted by County
Solicitor Loftin.
Nichols the Star Witness
Police Officer Jack Nichols, under
suspension, was the star witness for
the state. He had already pleaded
guilty to being in partnership
with Ward, and when placed on the
stand told a straight story of his
former connection with the house,
which was run at the corner OF In
'tendencia and Tarragona streets
Nichols stated that he had been
persuaded by Ward, while the latter
was a police officer, and he (Nichols)
a lineman, to enter into a partner
ship for the purpose of running a
negro gambling house, and that he
rented the place and paid for the
lumber to make the gambling tables.
The witness related that he was in
the business for one night, when an
other party objected, and Ward, tell.
Nichols of the objection, suggested
that Nichols sell out to him and
George SuareZ. This was done. he
said, and while he knew the place
was in operation, he had nothing
more to do with it.
Lum Richardson.
Lum Richardson, a negro, was an
other good state witness. The latter
stated that he was in the employ of
Ward and Suarez, and worked in the
gam bling house He knew nothing
of the connection of Nichols WITH
the place, as he did not work there
the night that Nichols was in the
business. He stated that Ward had
told him to go out among the boys
and tell them not to be afraid to-
visit the place and gamble, as he
from the police. This he did. and
that the place ran until the police
raided another gambling house across
the street. Then, he said, it was
closed, and Ward and Suarez left
town
a number of other witnesses for
the state were examined, all giving
strong evidence. while the defense
did not make out a strong case.
Neither Ward nor Suarez took the
witness chair during the trial.
But Little to Say.
Neither Ward or Suarez had any
thing to say upon reaching the Jail
They had been out on bond previous
to the trial, but upon their conviction
were locked up in jail. Nichols, who
WAS returned to jail at the same time,
was the only one of the trio who did
not show anxiety. Always jolly, he re-
mained so until given a cell in another
portion of the jail from SuareZ and
Ward. the sheriff fearing that the
hard feeling held by the latter
against Nichols might possibly cause
trouble should they be placed to-
gether.

THE FUNNY SIDE OF M. O.
Politics In City Departments-A Queer
Velocity Poles Downed.

Public Service is not a humorous
publication, but there were some fun
ny items in its December issue. Com
menting on the proposition of the
Business Mems club of Cincinnati that
civil service rules should be introduced
into the municipal department, Mr.
Miller, a member of the board of pub
lie service, is quoted as saying, 4
think the first requisite for a good
official is that he should be a good
Democrat"
The mayor Of Bluffton, Ind, is more
subtly humorous. He advocates mu-
nicipal ownership as an antidote for
monopoly and then yetoes a fran
chise for a gas plant because it would
compete with the municipal electric
light works and probably would re
duce the city's $4,000 plant to a mass
OF junk" This is rather more than a
tacit admission that the consumers are
paying through the nose.
But the funniest thing of all is that
some of the citizens of Chicago had to
go to law to compel the city electrical
department to obey its own laws. Be
cause such construction is much cheap
er this department undertook to erect
poles in district where the ordinances
require wires to be placed under
ground. The citizens appealed to the
department to protect them from What
they assumed to be the intrusion of a
private company Instead of being al
layed their Indignation was rather in
creased when they learned their mis-
take. and they did not stop until the
city council passed an ordinance re-
quiring the removal of the poles.
