NO DANGER OF WAR
Clare OFFICIALS
Statement Made by One Who
Is High in the Councils
At Washington.
SECRETARY ROOT is SILENT
GREATEST FEAR SAID TO BE
FROM AGITATION CAUSED BY
CERTAIN NEWSPAPE RS IN
BOTH COUNTRIES.

Washington, June 12.-Secretary
Root positively declines to make any
statement respecting the Japanese sit
uation. This is done with the full
knowledge of the uneasiness which
exists in financial circles as the result
of circulation of war rumorS.
1t may be said, however, that the
secretary's refusal is based solely up
on his unWiI11ngness to accord the
rumors official notice and not upon
any belief on his part that there is
the least danger of war or even of a
breach of the friendly relations that
now exist between America and Jap
an. The fact is that in the official
mind the present agitation is nothing
more than the workings on internatio-
nal Japanese politics and a strenuous
opposition party in Japan.
The situation was summed up by
very high official in the following re-
sponse to the question as to what had
been said to allay the uneasiness in
this country.
Profess to Feel Hopeful.
IF the administration has any fear
of trouble with Japan growing out of
the disturbances in San Francisco,
no responsible official is willing 10 ad-
nit it. On the contrary state depart
ment officials profess to feel hopeful
that everything viii come out all
right and that the situation between
the two countries will gradually be-
come normal. That Japan has made
no complaint to the United States
was the statement made most positiv-
ely in responsible quarters today:
there is no trobule between the two
countries and there is no danger of
war
'.The greatest fear is from agitation
carried on by certain newspapers in
both countries and from this officials
admit there is constant danger. Aside
from this the officials will not admit
there is anything which cannot be
adjusted in the ordinary way"

Interesting Talks Were Made
At the Opening Tuesday
Night by William Dudley
FouIke and Jas. w. Pattison

That Richmond is an art loving
city, was never more thoroughly dem
onstrated than Tuesday night when
more than five hundred people as
sembled at the opening of the Rich
mond Art associations eleventh an
nual exhibit at the Garfield school
The crowd was the largest of any
opening night since the Art associa-
ton first inaugurated its public ex-
hibits in this city, while the interest
was real and manifest on all sides
The displays in the various depart
ments were highly attractive, while
the quality was the best ever seen in
Richmond, even though the exhibit
as a whole probably is not as large
as in previous years. The manner in
which the pictures are hung and the
exhibits arranged. was remarked on
on all sides and it was said that the
various committees had outdone
themselves in arranging the rooms.
Not one department was discrimin-
ated against in favor of an other. and
more complete and we'll hung eXh1b-
it could not possibly have been re-
allied The beauty of the building
filled with its art was enhanced by
the beautiful flowers and palms which
were artistically arranged. 1t repre-
sented a veritable fairyland, in all its
beauty From a social standpoint
also the event was an entire success.
Mr. FouIke Speaks.
Promptly at~-nine O'Clock the large
crowd gathered in the lower corridor
where William Dudley Foulke made
very interesting speech in which
he paid a high tribute to the beauty
of the exhibit and to the woman who
is responsible for it, Mrs. NJ. F. John
ston, president of the local art asso-
ciation During the course of his re-
marks Mr. Foulke said that he had
never. in his travels through Europe,
had the privilege of witnessing more
complete and well arranged exhibit
than the one now on at the Garfield
school. He gave a short review of
American art in general which was
highly instructive as well as interest
ing He spoke of the rapid advances
of American art.
Following Mr.. Foulke's remarks,
James William Pattison, chairman of
the committee of judges, made very
interesting speech in which he COM
plimented the work being done here
and showed the education of art He
particularly and highly complimented
the high class of work done by the
public schools in Richmond and said
that the department is in good hands.
He announced the prizes also.
Forsyth Wins Prize.
The Mary T. r. Foulke annual prize
of $50, to be awarded to the most mer-
itorious painting by a resident of In
diana, shown at the exhibit, was Civ

known Indianapolis artist, on his pic
ture entitled "A Woodland Brook"
The picture is considered especially
meritofious from the standpoint of
poetic sentiment reflected and the
color and general outline. All con-
cede it one of the best of the exhibit

ROSEBURG, Ore, Oct. 31.-Yegge-
men in cracking the safe of l. Abrams
clio hing store here last night set fire
to the store building which was to-
tally destroyed at a loss of $25 900. The
robbers secured $3.50 in gold and $100
in city warrants. The report of explod-
ing gun cotton aroused the whole
town and within a short time hundreds
of people were out in a search for the
robbers by the light of the blazing
store building. The yeggmen made
good their escape however. and no
clues have been found. A posse of 80
were sworn ir. to make a search and
every hobo in camp between Rose
burg and the California line will be
examined for the men. So grave do
the citizens here consider the menace
of q constant stream of wandering
tramps that a mass meeting has been
called today by the citizens to adopt
some methods with this class. Vigi-
lante's methods have been suggested
and radicals here favor raiding IL
camps and offering the hoboes a choiC
of leaving the country on foot or via
rope and over telephone poles.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31-President
Roosevelt will recommend to congress
a federal charter for trust companies.
This scheme, it is understood, has the
backing of Secre AIRY of Treasury Cor
telyou and Comptroller Ridgely. Fed
eral inspection of trust companies
should be as searching and severe as
those over national banks and, in the
opinion of-Roosevelt and Cortelyou,
any trust company refusing to part1cf-

much prestige with the depositing pub
lie as to make it Improbable to con-

COACH bENDER'S
WOEFUL STORY
SAYS w. S. c. TEAM is NOT IN
GOOD CONDITION
AT PRESENT.

Coach Bender of the w. S. c.. team
has at last come through with the
usual pessimistic football dope in
which he wrings out the agonizing
cry so familiar to all football fans.
We're strictly up against it,
Because "Bendie's' squad did mean
things with S. A. A. c. prudence
whispers a warning note, and the Ne
braska cornhusker gets busy with pen,
ink and lots of interviews. He knows
the game and has most unsuccessfuliy
administered few Knockout drops
to his farmer crew in hope of not only
reviving interest around Pullman way,
but gaining a little of the good. old
fashioned fame and incidently adding
a grain of confidence to the Mission
aries ard U. of w. boys.
In speaking of the 'shadOwy' pros
poets, Bender tearfully says: I'm re-
gard to the big games we are not in
very good shape. Miner has bad ankle
which will keep him out of the game
for some time. l can't tell how long,
but he is in bad shape. RAIDER has
strained ligament in the knee. Oh, yes,
forgot to say that Miller is sick in
bed. and he may be out of the game
the rest of the season.
There is bit of consolation, anyway,
to know Bender is on the anxious seat
for he had admitted that the w. $ c.
Whitman game will be the hardest rub
of the season.

TIME CHECKS NOT ILLEGAL.
Employees May be Paid in Paper Which
Can't be Cashed for Month.

OLYMPIA, Wash. Oct. 31.-Time
checks. payable to employees in this
state, according to the decision of The
Lewis county superior court, which
upheld a demurrer of the Chehalis
Furniture & Manufacturing company
to an Information charging the COM
pany with violating the state time
check law. The supreme court unani-
mously holds that the purpose of the
law was to prevent the compelling of
employees to take merchandise In pay
ment for services. The particular
check which brought about the arrest
was issued March 16, 1907, and payable
pril Is, 1907. AS it was payable in
lawful money, the court holds it was
not in violation of the law. The court.
however, points out that if the man
had been discharged, he was entitled
to immedia e payment in cash under
the law.
