War Cloud Dispelied.
Oyster Bay, n. Y. July 13.-A good
square meal at Sycamore Hill Friday
has dispelied the Japanese war cloud.
After feasting on choice viands at the
table of President Roosevelt, Ambas-
sador AolIi and Admiral Baron Yamo-
moto. exalted diplomats of the inner
circle of Japan, left oyster Bay this
evening holding their sides and de-
claring that nothing but uniying
friendship exists in the Orient for
the United States-and her feed"
A Japanese boycott, the transfer
of the fleet to the Pacific, the arrest
of foreign spy sketching the fortifi-
cations at San Diego, visions of a
terrible conflict in which blood would
drench the American CONTINENTAL
these signs OF cOnIl1ct were ulSpelleu
today by the president with single
blow beneath the Jap belt. American
diplomacy in this instance took the
form of direct appeal to that region
of the human body so studiously cui-
tivated by popular hosts and SO clev-
erly avoided by pugilists.
After the luncheon the president is
sued statement which showed con-
clusively that the luncheon prepared
by his wife had not only touched his
guests, but had also blotted out all
thoughts of ever again riding a charg-
er in the face of the enemy.
The statement is as follows:
THE president had a long interview
with Admiral Baron Yamomoto and it
was most satisfactory in every way.
1t simply confirmed what had already
been made clear by Ambassador Aoki,
the thoroughly good understanding
between the two governments and
the fundamental friendliness between
the two nations"

The cross-examination of Haywood

ance When Clarence Darrow, Hay

ination and quietly remarked, You
may cross-examine,' the prisoner-wit-
ness turned in his chair and faced Mr..
Borah, his face pale and jaws firmly
set. There was stir in the court
room and then an absolute silence. The
first questions and answers came in
such subdued tones that Mr.. Richard

witness to speak out. Borah's cross

from first to last Haywood preserved
complete self-possession and control.
At times his replies came as quickly
as the questions were flung at him.
Again he would hesitate and speak
slowly with a marked emphasis. His
voice low and musical, was seldom rad

denial was given.
Borah's manner was courteous
throughout, but now and then tinge
of sarcasm appeared as he insisted on
direct answer and Haywood appeared
reluctant Haywood in turn was as
courteous as the lawyer. Invariably
he addressed Borah as Senator and re-
peatedly asked permission to explain
when he thought there might be some
misunderstanding.

Three of Them Were Sent Into
The Different Hose Houses
Within the Short Space of
Fifteen Minutes.
GREAT RUN WAS MADE
BY NO. 2 GREY TEAM.
Blaze at Richmond Manufac-
turing Co.'s Plant Was
Threatening for a Time
No Great Loss Sustained.

Fire alarm records in Richmond
were shattered this morning when
three alarms were sent into the differ
ent hose houses within the short space
of fifteen minutes The first alarm
came from the Richmond Manufactur-
ing company at Third and Chestnut
street. the second few moments later
from South Seventh street, where a
housewife was endeavoring to smoke
some elusive lice from the hen house
and the third a few seconds later from
Fourteenth and North e street on a
false alarm. Business was brisk for
the course of several minutes and Chief
Miller and his fire laddies were up and
doing.
A record breaking run was made by
the big grey team pulling the ladder
wagon from No. 2 hose house. They
made the run to the Richmond Manu-
featuring company in record breaking
time A few seconds after the wagon
had arrived on the scene, the hen
house fire alarm" was turned in from
South Seventh street and the ladder
wagon. at the orders of Chief Miller,
started again from the Richmond Man
dead gallop to SO7 South Seventh
street The run was probably the long
est made by any one fire department
team in Richmond. The horses. not
withstanding the long run, suffered no
Ill effects.
Blaze Was Threatening.
The fire at the Richmond Manufac-
turing company for several moments
threatened to do several thousands of
dollars worth of damage, it being To-
Gated in the dipping room, which were
filled with tanks of oil, enamel and
paints. An employe of the factory
was engaged in raising a bed to the
room above. The rope which he was
using in the work, caught over two
electric light wires. bringing them to-
gether and the wires flashed spark
which alighted in a tank of enamel.
Immediately the tankswas enveloped in
flames and it looked for short time
that the entire room would be destroy
ed, it being expected that the fire
would spread itself from one tub to an
other. The factory employees turned
on the sprinkling fire device and when
the department arrived on the scene
the flames were well under control.
Other than the .loss of the paint no Sc
rious damage was done. The hen
house fire did damage to the amount
of about ten dollars. In smoking the
chicken lice sout of the hen house the
latter caught fire and was practically
destroyed-so were the lice.
One Alarm: Was False.
The false alarm coming into the de-
partment from North f street was re-
sponded to by hose company No. 1.
but there was nothing DOING 1t is
supposed the wires in some manner
became tangled, precipitating the
alarm.
The signal service in the past two
days has been causing a great deal of
annoyance to Chief Miller and the diff
ferent hose companies. The wires are
in bad condition and as the result they
are expecting a number of alarms
Wires are also tangled in such way
as to make the fire alarm calls inaccu-
rate. 1t is hoped to remedy the con-
dition within the course of the next
few days.
