CALLS WAR TALK FOOLISH
ADMIRAL YAMAMOTO BLAMES
THE SENSATIONAL PRESS.
Noted Japanese Entertained at Lunch.
con by President Roosevelt
Both Scoff at Alarms.

New York, July 11.-Admiral Baron
Yamamoto, one of Japan's most dis
tinguished naval officers, is the guest
of New York. The admiral and his
suite arrived here from England on
the steamer Carmania Wednesday
morning and will remain here until
July Is.
The admiraps first day in New York
was the busy one. He was inter
viewed by half hundred reporters,
had his photograph taken score of
times, received visits from Mai. Gen.
Frederick D. Grant, Rear Admiral
Robley D. Evans, Capt j. D. Adams,
acting commandant Of the New York
navy yard, and a number of other
military and naval men, took a long
automobile ride and dined with the
members of his party.
In his interviews the admiral dep
reeated the war scare which has re-
Gently appeared in both Japan and
America. He said that no small in
cident could break the friendship
which has existed for so many years
between Japan and the United States.
He thought the sensational press of
the two countries largely to blame
for the war talk. AS to the prospective
transfer of the great Atlantic bat
tleship squadron to the Pacific, that
was matter solely for the American
government to decide and one that
did not interest him in tho 1aacf ov
cept in that it was novel naval ex-
pertinent
New York, July 13.-Admiral Baron
Yamamoto Friday met for the first
time President Roosevelt, the man
who, more than any other man, was
responsible for the conclusion of
peace between Japan and Russia after
a prolonged war, during which Ad-
miral Yamamoto was Japan's minister
of marine
In private conversation the repre-
sentatives of the two countries dis
cussed the cloud which has been hoy
ering over the long lasting friendship
between Japan and America, and each
one expressed the opinion that it was
merely passing shadow and one
which could in no way reach climax
that would shake the confidence each
country has had in the other since
the day Commodore Perry induced the
Tokogawa shotgun to open the island
empire to communication with the
outside world.

RAILROAD OPPOSES
TW0-CENT FARE ACT
PENNSYLVANIA LINE RESISTS IN
COURT LAW PASSED BY LAST
LEGISLATURE.
Counsel for Corporation Attacks Con-
stitutionaIity Of Statute, Holding
Loss Would Resuit-Same Issue
Decided in Iowa

Philadelphia, Pa, July 12.-rresl-
dent McCrea of the Pennsylvania rail-
road was the principal witness Thurs,
day in the equity proceedings insti-
tuted by that company against the
city and county of Philadelphia to
RESTRAIN 1t from enforcing the two
cent railway fare law passed by the
last legislature. The law goes into
effect October 1. and provides pen
atty of $1,000 for each violation of its
provisions. Most of the railroads of
the state have started similar actions,
and Thursdays proceedings were re-
garded as a test case.
Attitude Taken by Road.
John G.. Johnson, of counsel for the
Pennsylvania railroad, in opening the
proceedings, said the commonwealth
had no constitutional right to legis-
late rates for the Pennsylvania rail
road under its charter. But, for the
constitutional, the two-cent rate is
unreasonable and will not return a
fair profit for the capital invested.
City Solicitor Gendell, in his state
ment to the court, said that the county
was made a defendant because the
penalty for violation of the law is pay
able here. He thought the proceed
ings should have been brought against
the commonwealth as it is state mat
ter Nevertheless, he said, the city
being defendant, he would guard its
interests which, in this case, are not
great.
Profit and Loss Estimate.
The first witness examined was Max
Riebenack, comptroller of the Penn
sylvania railroad. He presented
summary of earnings and expenses on
state passenger business for the first
three months of the present year. This
summary showed that the average
rate per passenger per mile was 1907
cents.
The earnings for the three months
were s3,070,935, and the expenses 49,
Cpl ,607 If the two-cent law had been
in force during these three months the
earnings would have been but $685.,
033. Estimated figures for the entire
year 1907, based on those of the first
three months of the present year, we're
also submitted.
Denies Two-cent Fare Injunction.
Des Moines, Iowa, July 12-Judge
Mcpherson of the federal court Thurs
day denied the application of two
stockholders of the Iowa Central and
the Minneapolis and st. Louis rail
roads for restraining order against
the directors of these roads to pre-
vent them from putting into effect the
two-cent passenger rate passed by the
Iowa legislature, taking effect July a.
The judge based his action upon the
ground that no injury to the roads was
shown, that the complaint that the
new rate would cut down dividends
was not proved, that increased pas
senger travel might increase receipts
and that under rule "a of the Supreme
court the case was not properly
brought, as no charges of bad faith
on the part of the directors was al
legged.

THE BARBER BONDS
Asphalt Company File. Big Guaranty
Bonds Thru George 4. Norris, Local
Representative Of United States FL
deity and Guarantee Company.

The fling of the Barber Asphalt
Paving Company's bonds extending and
increasing it's guarantee on the paving
in this city is a alter Of considerable
interest, because of the fact that this
big surety bond was placed thru the
local agent, G. r. Norris, of the United
States Fidelity and Guarantee Com
pany. of Baltimore The large amount
of the bonds, seven in lumber, totaling
$119,8OO is in itself of interest. But 1t
also calls to mind the fact that the
public is becoming more and more
awake to the fact that it is little short
of an outrage to ask an individual to
risk his property on the honesty or
ability of another individual for moth
ing, when surety companies of unlim-
tied capital stand ready to issue bonds
for consideration. The time will come
when public officials and in fact ev-
cry person filling positions requiring
fidelity or guarantee bonds Will no
longer think of offering personal sure
ty nor will they have the nerve to ask
their friends to assume such risk.
The company which Mr.. Norris repre-
sents has paid in capital of $1.700,00O
and cash resources of s3,600,00O. Mr.
Norris represents not only this great
corporation, but is the agent of the
very highest grade insurance compan-
les. His ability to furnish the bonds
for such corporations as the Barber
people is evidence of this fact.
