HAGUE FEARS JAPANESE WAR
Peace Conference Diplomats Con-
slider Situation Strained.
Question Overshadows the Purposes
of the Gathering--AIarm Felt in
Germany over the Situation.

London. The correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph at The Hague sends
in column dispatch which purports
to reflect the views prevailing there
on the apanese-American situation,
which he says absorbs more interest
than the conference itself
The correspondent says that as a
result OF his inquiries he learns that
the situation is really strained, all
though both governments are trying
| to conceal the fact. He asserts that
| since June 20 the question has en-
tered on an acute phase. Japan has
! been sending the United States ex-
tremely categorical notes, stating,
without bitterness, but in the clearest
terms, the dilemma that unless Wash
ington is able to control California
Japan will consider herself free to act
directly against California.
Nothing, however, yet has been ex-
changed precluding pacific SETTLE
ment, but many of the Japanese at
The Hague are of the opinion that the
Japanese Government ought to act
without delay, and not give America
time to utilize her vast resources and
economic potentiality, hundredfold
greater than Japan's, to perfect war
like preparations.
In an editorial article The Tele-
graph says it does not identify itself
with the statements of its correspon-
dent at The Hague, believing them to
be charged with undue dependency
At the same time, the paper con-
tinues, they are made upon a notable
authority and they cannot be read
without profound uneasiness The
Telegraph is convinced. however, that
the craftsmanship of both countries
will be strong enough and the in
stinct of the two great nations sane
enough to hold chauvinism in leash.
Nevertheless, the paper says, sit
is impossible to deny the danger of
the situation. The present peace con-
ference, from it's opening, has
created disagreement and friction
tending to worsen instead of improve
the relations of the Powers. The last
assembly at The Hague was followed
by great conflicts; we can only pray
that the present one may not be sue
ceeded by more terrible calamities. %
In conclusion, after full discus
sion of the points Of difference, The
10leSl dpH says IL lS~uot IL Color queS-
ton, but fundamentally an economic
question, and adds:
''We trust our allies will take it at
that and realize that the point of ma
tional honor has been accidentally
caught up with the problem, but is
not permanently involved in it. Any
attempt to settle the question by
arms whatever the immediate issue,
would mean, sooner or later, hun
bred years conflict"

high above the beds of the creeks.
The sapphires do not travel very far,
and If the deposits containing them
are washed away, the stones will be
found just below any remaining por-
tions, or perhaps onlya short distance
away. Associated with the sapphire
deposits is quartzite rock, locally
known as billy" which is general in
all the eastern portions of the field in
which the gems are found, and,
when met with in unprospected locali-
ties, is regarded as an indication of
the probable existence of sapphires
in the vicinity, There are, however,
localities in which the sapphires are
found, although no traces of the
"billy" are to be discovered, hence
it is assumed that while the rock may
have been plentiful in the sapphire
bearing country, it is not that from
which the gems originally came

has been invented by Missouri man,
and is shown in the accompanying il
lustration. The rings are intended
to bear against the upper and lower
eyelids, and are of such size and
shape that they will impart the neces-
sary pressure without obstruction by
the eye socket and cavity. The rings
are made of gold, silver or celluloid.
Between the rings is bridge, which
holds them in proper adjustment.
Temple pieces are attached to each
ring, and are composed of two Sec
tions joined by springs, so that the
exerciser will be drawn and held with
the desired pressure against the lids
of the eyes. Opportunity is thus ar
forded for constant exercise, so long
as the instrument is worn, the eye
balls being greatly strengthened and
encouraged in their functions. An
elastic band to encircle the head can
also be added. Washington Star.

JAIL SENTENCE FOR %
TOLEDO BUSINESS MEN
Convicted Of Pooling Agreement
to Maintain High Prices.
Sentenced Men Are All Wealthy and
Prominent in the Commercial
Life of the Ohio City-Lumber
and Brick Men and Bridge Agents.

Toledo, Ohio. - Some Of Toledo'D
wealthiest citizens. and the most
prominent socially, were sentenced to
the workhouse for six months for be-
ing members Of the lumber and bridge
trusts and conducting their business
enterprises in restraint of trade and
competition. All had pleaded guilty.
Twenty-one members of the Lum-
Der Dealers Credit Association, nine
mem bers of the Brick Dealers Asso-
citation and two bridge agents were
lined up before the bar to hear their
fate.
The sentence created more of a
sensation than that imposed year
ago on the Ice Trust men. In that
case the hired agents were punished.
The court has now landed the capital
lists themselves.
Judge Lindley w. Morris lectured
the defendants before imposing SEN
tence, saying:
What does a nominal fine signify?
tits wrong that you men of means,
with capital back of you, can so con-
ITOI DIlCGS IudL Lie DOOI die COLu-
PEELED to pay more than you have
right to ask, and more than you
would have to pay yourself. 1t is
time the courts of Ohio impose such
punishment as the offense merits.
Fines are only makeshifts, and do
not bring prominent citizens to a pro-
per realization of their positions. At
ter full consideration I've determined
that the proper punishment is impris
onment in the workhouse. The SEN
tence, therefore, on those who have
generally pleaded guilty will be that
they be confined in the workhouse."
The brick men pleaded guilty to an
Indictment under a different section
of the Valentine Antitrust law and
the penalty could only be fine, the
maximum being $1,000 The Judge
gave the maximum.
Marcus v. Barbour, of the lumber
firm of Barbour G. Starr, counts his
fortune in excess of half million
dollars. He is one of the men who
must go to jail. George L. Freeman,
of Kelsey & Freeman, lumber dealers,
is local social lion. His partner,
Hiram Kelsey, is equally prominent.
John H. Puck, vice-president of the
Western Manufacturing Company, is
wealthy and widely known politi-
clan. Frederick E. Wilker, president
of the Wilker Manufacturing Com
pany, is also big hotel owner. Harry
G. Hammond and W. NJ Cleveland
are we'll known bridgemen, the for
mer with the Canton Bridge Com
pany, his home being in this city.
Mr.. Cleveland's home is in Cleveland,
and he is president of the Cleveland
Bridge Company.
The sentences to the workhouse
were suspended for ten days owing to
that institution being quarantined
against smallpox
Having pleaded guilty, the defend
ants are, according to the rules of
customary criminal procedure, denied
the right of appeal to the higher
courts.

good things, these interchangeable

fault is the liability of the clamp
which grips the tool in the handle be-

fault. The end of the tool is inserted
