WAR NOT THOUGHT OF

WASHINGTON. April 19.-That there
never was at any time danger of a
war between the United States and
Japan, growing out of the recent con-
troversy regarding the segration of
the Japanese school children in the
public schools of San Francisco. was
made clear by Secretary Root in an
address on THE Real Question Under
the Japanese Treaty and the San
Francisco School Board Resolution
at the first annual meeting of the
American Society of International Law,
which convened here to-day for a two
days session. The question of State
rights. Secretary Root declared, was
not involved.
Much of the afternoon session was
devoted to a discussion of the So
called Drago doctrine. which former
Secretary OF State John w. Foster.
declared was first originated by Alex
ander Hamilton more than hundred
years ago.
William Barnes, ST., of Nantucket,
Mass, introduced a resolution asking
the society to go on record as consld-
ering at a degradation of the func-
lions and purposes of the nnvies of the
world to pervert them for the duties
of debt-collectors and lowering of the
dignity of admirals of the navies to

Supreme Right of Treaty Power.
Secretary Root spoke at length on
the supreme right of the treaty power
of the United States over the right of
any State constitutions or enactmenls.
He quoted numerous references in sup
port Of his position. but said that the
legal construction of the rights of the
Federal government was not the most
important feature of the controversy
Just past. He said that this govern
ment had been the first nation to ne
gotiate a treaty with Japan. ard the
relations of the Japanese and Arfprican
people had always been peculintly COR
dial and confidential. TAa question
that had been haised was rot one In
volying war. All such talk nad been
the work of a mischief a aEing press
and an interfering lecture platform,
The question that was 1T stake was
whether this country an J4pan should
continue in their old end friendly re-
lations or whether tn Y Should look
at each other across me Pacific with
suspicious eyes and haired in their
hearts. He believed thu. he question
had been settled in favor ot amicable

MINING NOTES.

Wildman.-It is rumored that this
property is to be unwatered, so as to
allow an inspection by experts in the
interest of capitalists who are think
ing of investing therein.
Valparaiso. AT this mine they
have made an excavation in the
tunnel large enough to erect a within
hoist, to be operated by horse power.
The tunnel is about 200 feet from the
surface. They have started to sink
a winze, and are down about % feet.
They propose to go at least IS feet
before commencing to drift. The
operation of horse power within in
tunnel is something of novelty
hereabouts. The property has sur
rendered considerable gold from
pockets of the rich black metal for
which that locality is noted. Above
the tunnel the pockets have been
pretty much worked out, so it is pro-
posed to go down, and search for the
rich streaks. The Mammoth mine,
which adjoins the Valparaiso on the
south, developed into bonanza some
hundreds of feet below the present
level of the Valparaiso.

Cut in a Scuffle.

During Saturday night Peter Satori
and David Pacci, with one or two
other companions, were having a
good time around town, partaking
literally of liquid refreshments. At
an early hour they started for home
in the northern part of the city. On
reaching the Hamilton tract along the
jackson Gate road, they became in
volved in a dispute and scuffle,
which ended by one of the parties
picking up rock and striking Pacci
in the forehead, cutting cash to the
bone, the wound bleeding so freely as
to scare all the members of the party.
The wound was superficial, but the
sidewalk was soon covered with the
crimson fluid. In the scare, every
body handy was summoned, among
them being DR.. Phillips, the con-
stable and sheriff.. The wound was
soon dressed, and the injured man
landed in Jail. A charge of disturb
ing the peace was preferred against
him on Monday, and the same day
his companion, Satori showed up.
ana was also arrested on a similar
charge. 1t is supposed that he
handled the rock. Both pleaded
guilty before city recorder Thompson,
and were fined SIS each, which they
paid, and went on their way.

Death of a Pioneer.

Mrs Isabelle Stewart. passed away
Tuesday at her home at Butte City,
near here. She had reached the ripe
old age of eighty -one and had been
failing for some time, so that her
death does not come as a complete
shock to her relatives and friends.
She was born in Perth, Scotland on
the 18th day of april 1925, and went
to South America with her parents
when a young girl. She came to this
county IN 1850 and married. Her
husband had come to this county in
lS49, and from the time of their
marriage lived at Butte City.
The funeral took place from the old
family home at Butte, services being
performed by Rev. Nicholas. The
remains were inferred in the Pro-
testant cemetery here. The Native
Sons and Daughters formed at the
leila mine and followed to the burial
grounds. Dan Murphp, Steve Ferrari,
George Gordon, Ed Kay, Luke Gla-

as pail bearers.
She leaves five sons, James, Will

Accused of
Petty Larceny.

Charley Forbes, who is in the
county Jail serving out a sentence for
misdemeanor, is under fresh accusa-
tion of petty larceny. 1t seems that
sheriff Gregory has stored the stock
of shoes of the branch store of J. Nc
Cutchen. alleged to have been taken
on consignment from l. Rosenberg of
Woodland, in the hall of records,
pending settlement of the dispute
whether it belong to the McCutchen
estate or Rosenberg. A pair of shoes
was found in Forbes cell and hence
the charge of petty larceny. Forbes
pleaded not guilty, and bail was
allowed in 800, which he was unable
to furnish. 1t is rumored that Forbes
was seen in the act of taking the
shoes from the store house, and plac-
ing them in sack, which with the
shoes therein was found hanging on
the knob of his cell door. Forbes is
serving sentence of 80 days for dis
turbing the peace. 1t is believed
that he will stand trial before the
city recorder on this latest charge.
Since the above was written Forbes
has skipped out and lett no trace of
his whereabouts. The city marshal
had been instructed to put him to
work on the streets, so he was taken
out on Broadway and given something
to do. Yesterday evening he didn't
turn in at the county Jail as had been
his wont. 1t is reported that he was
seen on the road to Suffer Creek. If
he is brought back here the charge of
misdemeanor still stands against him,
besides which he will have to stand
trial for stealing pair of shoes, also
for stealing pair of rubber heels.
He has been charge OF the county
for sometime, either as patient at
the hospital or in Jail.

Pay Day at the Mines.

The mines in the vicinity of Jack
son had their monthly pay day early
this week. Owing to the financial
situation, the coming of pay day was
waited with more than ordinary
interest. The conditions being
materially changed since the previous
pay day, 1t was expected that some
thing would be done to meet the new
conditions, by all the mines operat-
ing heIeabouts. This community has
no business to feel the money
famine. We are extracting from the
earth the very material out of which
money is made, and that too in
sufficient quantity to answer all the
requirements of local business. All
that was necessary was to husband
our resources, and not send our gold
to San Francisco, and get checks or
clearing house certificates in lieu
thereof. 1t seems that all the mines,
with the exception of the Kennedy,
arranged to pay either in coin, or if
by checks, to deposit bullion as
security that the checks would be
honored with coin in San Francisco.
W. f. Detert, superintendent of the
leila, paid off the employees in gold
coin. The Argonaut paid through
the hank of Amador But the
Kennedy by far the largest employer
OF labor, with payroll of something
like S25, 000-paid off the same as
usual exclusively in checks drawn
on the office of the company in San
Francisco, expecting that, as usual,
they would be cashed either by the
local tradesmen or at the bank.
They are perfectly good, hut word
came from the city to be chary about
loading up with checks. So when
the merchants were unable to cash
these checks, and the bank declined
to discount them as usual, the trouble
was on. There were thousands of
dollars worth of checks that could
not be converted into coin here, and
naturally this gave birth to some
bitterness and disappointment. The
checks are perfectly safe, and SO are
all others issued by the mines aud
big corporations of this section, but
when the banks of the city will not
for the time being honor them, there
is nothing left for the local banks
and merchants but to be little eau
tious in giving hard cash for paper.
however good it may be.
| Wednesday was the payday at the
Argonaut. This company proposed
to pay-of in coin. But the checks
issued by the Kennedy complicated
the situation. Mr. Detert, who is in
chargegof both the leila and Argo-
naut, did not propose to furnish coin
with which to pay Kennedy checks;
which would practically be the case
if these two mines paid cash and the
other in checks. Correspondence was
had, and the outcome was that gold
bullion was deposited by the Kennedy
company in San Francisco to meet
all outstanding drafts, and thereupon
the Bank of AE,ador at once decided
to cash the checks over the counter
as heretofore. The money situation
here has cleared up, and no further
hitch is anticipated.
