The engineer of the morning pas

AS soon as the crew learned the cir

WILL RUN PUBLICITY
TRAIN NEXT SPRING

Sam Davis, head of the Nevada
publicity committee, yesterday stated
that the publicity train which he
planned to run from Reno to New
York and other eastern cities for the
purpose of advertising Nevada. would
not be run this fall but early next
spring. He states that the reason
for this delay is that the Southern
Pacific company will be unable to
furnish the proper cars on account of
the heavy winter traffic. Another
reason is that the supreme court has
as yet not acted In regard to the suit
in which Sam Davis sued the state
controller for his salary. Mr.. Davis
states that the judges of the supreme
court should have rendered de-
cision in this case some time ago and
that as result of not rendering a
decision they may have to forfeit
their salaries, as the law, according
to what Sam Davis says, states that
the supreme judges must give de-
cision within ninety days after a case
is submitted or forfeit their sal
aries.

CRITICISM OF CRUISE
WOULD Be IMPERT|NENT
Schley Says Resentment Should Fol-

NEW YORK, Oct. SIT would be
an impertinence, justifiable by quick
resentment, for any power in time of
peace to dictate to this country
where and when it's fleet should ma
neuver."
This was the comment of Rear
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley today
when asked about the possible antag-
onism from Japan, as the result of
the cruise of the squadron of Ameri-
can warships to the Pacific.
=. can hardly think that war is
imminent or possible. There is no
ground for a war. | don't believe
that the Japanese are seeking a war,
and l know this country will not
plunge into one needlessly."
Then" it was asked, why should
the Japanese press object to the
cruise of the American fleet to the
Pacific?"
81 know of no real demonstration
of disapproval,' the admiral replied
81 think it would be the height of i'm
pertinence in time of peace for any
power to express even an interest in
what water or at what time we ma
neuvered our fleet. There is no use
discussing the cruise of the fleet tc
the Pacific. That has been settled
upon by the authorities in charge Of
the matter, and if there is criticism Of
the projected movement of the battle

United States-it could not be toler
ated anywhere else.
The Pacific is just as much oul

deep waters of the reservoir in theil
efforts to locate the body.

designated as "a" claims. They re-

SEAL OF FRIENDSHIP
REMAINS UNBR0KEN
TAFT Is PLEASED AT JAPANESE
RECEPTION; SAYS PERFECT
UNDERSTANDING EXISTS.

TOXIC, Oct. 3.-Secretary Taft, on
the eve of his departure yesterday
for Kobe, where he will embark on
the steamer Minnesota for Manila,
said:
'The magnificent welcome accorded
me by the government and people of
Japan is the most positive evidence
of the good relations existing between
Japan and the United States. | am
confident that both countries will
continue to be as friendly as they
have in the past and not afford occa-
sion for misrepresentation by any
body"
Count Katsura, eX-premier, and a
member of the military council of the
empire, in an interview today said:
Il am delighted that Mr.. Taft s
brief visit has been made the occasion
for an indisputable demonstration of
the friendly relations between Japan
and the United States. Attempts have
been made to misrepresent the exist
ing relations of both countries, but
they must be attributed to the work
of interested parties and they are
hardly deserving of serious consider
alton.
THE whole situation was talked
over between Mr.. Taft and myself two
years ago, on the occasion of his last
visit here. A perfect understanding
was then arrived at between the au-
thorities of both governments and nc
change has since been made therein
| firmly believe that nothing can
shake the foundation on which the
historical relations of both nations
are built. There is nothing more alb.
surd than the cry of war between the
United States and Japan, and Mr.
Taft has now by his speech, SO widely
reported, put an indelible seal on the
cordial relations and perfect under
standing existing between Japan and
| the United States"

CEMENTS FRIENDSHIP
BETWEEN COUNTRIES
SECRETARY TAFT'S VISIT MAY
BRING SETTLEMENT OF I'M
MIGRATION QUESTION.

TOXIC, Oct. Secretary Taft
aroused the widest enthusiasm and
loud cheers when, in the course of
his speech at the banquet given in
his honor by the municipality of To-
kio and chamber of commerce, he
declared that war between the United
States and Japan would be "a crime
against modern civilization, and as
wicked as it would be insane add
ing that neither people desired it,
and that both governments would do
their utmost to guard against such an
awful catastrophe. The secretary
spoke with intense earnestness, after
careful deliberation and preparation.
The banquet took place in the as
sembly room of the Imperial hotel,
Viscount Shimi Busawa presiding,
and was attended by prominent citi-
zens and many of the leading busi-
ness men of Toxic. Secretary Taft
sat on the right of Count Shimi BUS
ava, and MIR. O'Brien, the new
American ambassador to Japan, was
seated on his left. The decorations
of the hall were magnificent, and a
good band furnished the music.
Among those present were many
women, including Americans.
Viscount Shimi Busawa in welcom-
ing Mr.. Taft, paid glowing tribute
to the greatness of the nation which
the secretary represented, the friend
liness which the United States had
always displayed for Japan, and the
influence which America eXerted
throughout the world.
In replying Mr. Taft spoke with
deep feeling and positiveness. He
asserted that the talk of unfriendli-
ness between the United States and
Japan was due entirely to the COM
mercialism of the newspapers of
America. The secretary declined to
discuss the immigration question,
saying that he would not trespass
upon the field of the state depart
ment. Mr.. O'Brien would say that
the entire matter was ''easy of sensi-
BILE arrangement between sensible
men,
Continuing, Mr.. taft said
Americans will always be proud
of the part President Roosevelt was
able to play in Fastening the end of
the war, bringing about peace under
circumstances honorable to both ia
pan and Russia. Japan, having
proved her greatness in war, has
taken a stand in the first rank of the
family of nations. You have con-
cluded treaties with your former an
tagonists, and the wounds caused by
the war are healed.
THE growth of Japan from a her.
NIT nation to her present position in
the last fifty years is marvel to the
world. Americans are proud TO re-
cord the fact that Japan has always
had the cordial sympathy and at times
effective aid of the United States.

of the feast of friendship of fifty
years.

OF FLOWERS
TO LEAVE Los ANGELES
PAUL DE LONGPRE, ARTIST AND
COMPOSER, FORCED TO
ABANDON CHATEAU.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3.-Com-
tely discouraged at the outlook for
art in Southern California and see
ing no future here, Paul DeLongpre.
King of the Flowers" is about to
quit and go east His mansion at
Hollywood, one of the show places
of the southwest, will be sold and
the painter and composer who de-
signed and built it will move to New
York, according to an announce
ment made yesterday.
DeLongpre has made heroic
struggle in southern california. He
has spent thousands of dollars in an
effort to establish himself and a CO.
terie of artists in Los Angeles that
would do credit to that city. He
has kept open house at his beautiful
chateau and has held exhibits of
paintings at frequent intervals.
1t is stated he has sold less than
$4,000 worth of pictures in seven
years by means of these exhibitions.
Though his home has been the cen
ter of art, he has been compelled to
draw upon his resources to such an
extent that he has wearied of it. The
loss of Paul DeLongpre will mean a
great deal to art in southern Cali
fornia.

TWO HANDSOME BROCHURES
DESCRIBE GIANT VESSELS

r. S. Reid of the Steptoe Annex
has received from the press of the
Turner G Duett company, Liverpool.
two handsome brochures descriptive
of the giant passenger and express
vessel Lusitania, and her sister ship,
Mauretinia, of the Cunard Express
line. The brochures are fine exam
pies of the typographical art and are
valuable, aside from this, for the in
formation they contain concerning
these great leviathans.
Drawings to scale show the compa-
ratiye size of the vessels in relation
to some of the best known buildings
in the world. They show that the
ships are longer than st. Peters at
Rome, and the Vatican, combined;
Pyramid is high; that an express
train of fifteen coaches is no greater
in length than one of these boats,
and that the two, placed end to end
would not be able to pass under the
plant span of the Brooklyn suspen-
sion bridge.
These sister ships are 100 feet in
| length; SS feet beam; $4,000 tons
displacement, loaded; $4,000 horse
power 155 feet in height to the top
of the tunnels and PIG feet to the
mastheadS.
There are accommodation for $50
irst class passengers, 500 second
class; 1900 third class, and the crew
comprises from 500 to 900 persons.
making total human freight on a
capacity voyage of 5000 persons.
