JAPAN IS NOT
SEEKING WAR
Regards United States as Her Best
Friend.
JAPAN IS BURDENED WITH DEBTS.
Statement of Former Ambassador Luke
Wright, Who Has Just Returned
From Tokio-C haracterizes Talk OF
Hostilities as Being ''Not Even Re-
spectacle Nonsense.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD.-
mot even respectable nonsense"
was the way former Ambassador
Luke Wright, who has just returned
from Toxic to resume private life,
characterized the war talk between
the United States and Japan. The
Ambassador had a long talk with
Acting Secretary of State Adee, hav-
ing called to close his official con-
nection with the department. pre-
paratory to going to his home, at
Memphis, Tenn.
Governor Wright was in Japan as
the representative of the United
States when the assault upon Japan
csc restaurant-keepers was made in
San Francisco and japanese were
barred from the schools. He had not
left Toxic when the announcement
was made by the Secretary of the
Navy that the Atlantic fleet would
be transferred to the Pacific Coast.
He said that the voyage of the At
lantic fleet did not stir official cir
Giles in Japan to adverse comment,
as it was understood that the in
terests of the United States in Pa
cific waters made it natural Tor tnls'
government to desire to transfer part
of it's naval force there.
The San Francisco incident was
not so peaceably viewed, Mr.. Wright
said, as the action of the school
board in San Francisco was of an
official character and provoked much
discussion. He thought the prompt
action taken by the administration
in attempting to smooth over the
situation appeased most of the anger
felt in official circles in Japan.
But Japan does not want war
with the United States, nor any ma
tion,' declared Mr.. Wright. The
country is burdened with debts and
heavy taxation. The rate of taxa
ton has been increased since the
war with Russia. Further than this,
she has Korea on her hands, and
that is no easy problem. China, too,
demands her attention. Further
than this, Japan looks upon the
United States as her best friend
She always has so regarded this
country"

FEDERAL COURTS ABUSE RIGHTS
Nebraska's Governor Favors The
Curtailment OF Privileges.

Lincoln, Neb. Especially Because
of the restraining order granted by
Judge Munger, of the Federal Court,
to prevent the Railway Commission
from promulgating new grain rate
schedule, Gov. George L. Shelton de-
clared himself in favor of a consti-
tutional amendment taking from fed
eral courts the right to enjoin state
officials from enforcement of state
laws.
81 believe the federal courts have
abused the privilege of the injunc-
ton enough to justify such action"
he said. TOO many state laws have
been tied up by the interference of
the federal courts. I do not believe
the makers of the Constitution ever
contemplated such use of the injunc-
ton in the hands the federal courts"
