I Robert Bishop of Agency was killed
at West Burlington Thursday night by
Burlington passenger No. 4. Just how
the accident occurred is not known.
Bishop, who has been working on the
section at Middleton, rode to West
Burlington on the train, and there the
conductor supposed he left to take the
street car into the city. He may have
changed him mind, however, and in
cumming his way to Burlington got
jolted of or was thrown under the
wheel in attempting to jump of. The
body was picked up about 1880 p. m.
by the crew Of passing switch engine
and taken to the coroner's, where in.
identification was made later.
Bishop was an unmarried man of 20
years of age, the sol. of Mr.. and Mrs
w. v. Bishop, who reside one-half
mile east of Agency. He has lived
with his parents until recently, when
ne went to Middleton to work. The
body was brought back to Agency for
burial this afternoon.

Much interest is being taken all
OF the state bar association of Iowa,
which will be held in Davenport next
month. A number of Ottumwa attor-

the meeting will undoubtedly be at
tended by the largest array of legal
talent ever congregated at one place

preparations are being made to make
the convention successful one from
every standpoint:
When the state bar association con-

/! When the announcement was made
that the association would come to
Davenport for it's annual convention
plans were set on foot to make it the
banner session of the association
Now that the arrangements are about
completed the men who have had the
matter in charge announce with much
satisfaction that they have secured an
array of talent such as was never
present at a single previous conven
ton and they believe the meeting here
will eclipse anything that the bar OF
Iowa has ever done before. In support
Of their claim they point with pride
to the list of men who are to read pa

AO MORE PHOTOS OF STRANGE JAPS

Orders have been received by the Arizona immigration authorities from the department at Washington, that they hereafter photograph no fnconi- ing Japanese for the purpose of iden- tificatioh
 The order is the result of a diplo- matic protest by the Japanese govern ment through it's representative at Washington.
 The custom of phoIograpning Jap anese who were detained has prevail ed at several ports of entry in this country. Photographs were taken and forwarded to immigration inspectors at other ports, so that if rejected Jap anese did enter the country in viola ton of the law he would be recog- nized.
 The custom of photographing Chi nese whether rejected or admitted has prevailed for years. Those legally ad- mitted have had their photographs at tached to their certificates as a means of identification. The Chinese, as a rule, are very superstitious and believe that the devil will catch them if they have their pictures taken and on this account they have protested, Dut tO uO bat ROSC.
 One could not say that the Japanese object to the photographing on this ground. but they seem to think the photographing form of indignity and have made a vigorous kick through their consular service.
 There has been so much jingo war talk in both countries that the au- thorities have decided to do all they could to keep down any unnecessary friction and for this reason have de cided to put a stop to the practice. It is believed that this order is given as a sop to the restless element Ot Japanese who have strenuously op posed this peculiar form of what they deem to be humiliation. This is not serving to check the vigilance of the immigration inspect ors, however The force is being strengthened to meet the demands oi the exclusion law and the Japanese are being made to toe the line. The immigration office at Tucson deportet four more Japs last night. The number of Japanese deporteC is evidence that the apparent lenienc! is only a matter of expediency anC the same general policy win be car
 ried out with regards to the Japanes' as heretofore.
