Seven members of the Japanese Chamber of
Commerce have delivered the following sentiment
to the Chambers of Commerce in this country:
BY uniting our influences against warfare we can
insure the common prosperity of both nations"
This is pacific message, and does not indicate
any desire for war on the part of these influential
Japanese. War is destructive Of wealth, and
therefore cannot make country prosperous
under modern conditions. Peace is an asset Of

The New York World has been trying, like
many others, to discover what is real Democrat,
and what are Democratic principles. This should
not be difficult question to answer. The Demo-
Gratis according to the World, are those who
agree with the ideas of the Hon. Joseph Pulitzer
proprietor of that newspaper, and all others, in
Guiding Colonel Bryan, are out of the fold. Hence
it would not take many acres to hold all the
Democrats of the country.

AT HIS OLD TRICKS.

OVER in Morocco, one Raisuli is having all

recently entered into an agreement with the Sui

Grafton Of that autocrats offer Of a position as
commander Of a section OF the camel cavalry and
some few presents, chief Of which was a bank roll
The Sultan sent Kaid Harry MacLean, his red

incidentally hand him some money and few
punches of chromos and caoric
Raisuli received the emissary of his much mar
riedness and placed him in durance, sending word
to the Sultan that he was thankful for what he
received but, like the breakfast food youngster
and Oliver Twist he wanted more.
Raisuli is still bandtting at the same old stand
and has job lot of Scotch expatriaton on hand
which he is willing 10 sell to the Sultan at a price
that is almost prohibitory. Mr.. Raisuli is the in

GALVESTON BILLS
CONE UP TODAY
Assurances Are That House
viii Give Municipal Govern
ment Plan a Hearing.
CITIZENS ARE INSlSTENT
ATTITUDE OF PROMINENT MEN
CARRIES WEIGHT.

Today Will be an interesting day in the
house if present plans are carried out.
The Galveston bills. which lie on the ia
bic withoutfhaving been even read, much
less considered, will undoubtedly be made
the subject of earnest and instructive de-
bate. 1t IS expected that large num-
Der of citizens will be i'm attendance to
hear the discussion.
Leading business men of this city who
have interested themselves in this inn
portant question have made a canvass of
the house membership and they have the
assurance that the required majority will
be mustered to lift the measures from the
table and place them before the house for
consideration. These gentlemen. among
whom are some of the heaviest taXPay-
ers of the city. have the pledges of a SUI
ficient number of the house members
who voted in opposition To the bills to
warrant them in the belief that there
will be little difficulty in counting a ma
jOrity when the time comes.
The earnest advocacy of the bills by
United States Senator Sutherland and
the published letter of o. J. Salisbury.
Republican, national committeeman from
Utah. strongly urging the passage of the
bills. have carried much weight with
many of the house members. On ac-
count of their prominence. politically as
well as otherwise, the influence of these
two gentlemen is being felt in no small
degree.
The general Interpretation placed upon
an interview with Senator Sutherland
which was given a prominent place in
the Deseret Evening News, is that Pres
ident Joseph F. Smith of the Mormon
church is by no means hostile 10 the
measures. but that, on the contrary, he
is inclined to look upon them with favor
President Smith, it is asserted. realizes
with thousands of other citizens that
Salt Lakes city government is in a bad
way and that a remedy is a dire neces-
sity.
Meanwhile the popular clamor for a
thorough discussion of the bills is in
creasng- The feeling is universal that
both sides should have full opportunity
to be heard in advocacy or opposition. 1t
is pointed out nottingham be lost by an
intelligent consideration of the plan for
relieving the eity's distressing condition,
and much may be gained
Representative John Q. CritchloW who
as chairman OF the special committee
which reported the bills. will in all prob
ability be the one who will move 10 call
the bills from the table.

HITCHCOCK ON
WITNESS STAND
Binger Hermann Compelled to
Resign Under Threat of
Dismissal.


Washington, March 1.-THE trial OF
Binger Hermann on the charge of de-
stroying records OF the land Office pro-
ceeded today with the testimony of NJ
]. McVean, a former clerk in the land
office.
McVean was called by the defense
today and identified many letters re-
lating to the creation ofthe. Blue Noun
tain forest reserve in Oregon, besides
expla lining the methods of bookkeep-
ing in the forest division of the land
Office. wherein a complete record OF
this correspondence was set forth.
+. A. Hitchcock. former secretary OF
the interior. was put upon the stand by
the prosecution this afternoon. He de-
tailed the circumstances leading I'D to
the retirement of Mr.. Hermann from
the land office, which, he stated, in an
swer to question, was not voluntary.
Mr.. Hitchcock identified. the Holsin-
ger report which was the basis of the
alleged land fraud cases against Hyde
Dimond. Benson and Schneider He
said that he learned of this report some
time after it had been made, and not
through Mr.. Hermann. He took, the
some time in December, 1902, Mr.. Her
mann was asked to resign.
On Jan. IS following Mr. Hermann
was again urged to resign because of
matters contained in this report, and
was told that if he did not do SO he
would be dismissed. At the request of
the late Senator Mitchell, Mr. Her.
mann was given time to arrange his
affairs, and his resignation was ac-
cepteG on Feb. !, 1908.
Took Action at Once.
On cross-examlnation Mr.. Hitchcock
said Commissioner Hermann had dictated
a letter 20 his chief OF division in charge
Of the entries of the Hyde-Dimond-B Ben
son firm. directing him to hold UP all of
their applications for land This letter had
been dictated by Hermann after the Hell
singer report had reached the land office
and before Secretary Hitchcock had seen
singer report he broadened the scope of
the commissioners order so as to prevent
all lieu lands selections until an investi-
cation could be had.
E. W. Scott Smith. who said he was q
journalist up to the time he became pri-
vate secretary 10 Mr.. Hitchcock in 1899
went over the ground covered by Mr.
Hitchcock relative to the resignation of
Mr.. Hermann. He said Mr.. Hermann
seemed very much asfteted and affected
when told by the secretary that his res
isnation was desired Mr. Hermann gave
the secretary as a reason for delay In his
resignation that his daughter was about
to be married The late Senator Mitchell.
Mr.. Smith said, saw the secretary several
times and also the president in efforts to
delay Mr. Hermann's resignation. 1t was
his belief that the Heisinger report was in
the land office ten days or two weeks be-
fore its existence was known 10 the Sec
rotary.
II is understood the prosecution will not
conclude its testimony until some time
next week

Gigantic Conspiracy Discoy-
cred in ldaho-StartIing Dis
closures Expected Soon.

Portland. Ore. March ia special
to the. Oregonian from Lewiston, Ida,
says:
Hints from Boise as to startling land
fraud disclosures at Lewiston tend to
confirm reports from authentic sources
that the government has for 9 year
considered the land frauds in Idaho
more gigantic than in either Oregon,
Montana OF washington, and that it is
the intention of the government 20 sift
them to the bottom bring The guilty
ones to trial and then bring re-entrance
proceedings, after conviction. to secure
repossession of the lands frauduleatly
secured from the United States. This
latter step will mean great financial
loss and perhaps absolute ruin to pri-
vate individuals and banking institu-
lions which are or have been, il is as
serted, directly or indirectly connected
with the handling or ownership of lands
said TO have been fraudulently ac-
CURED.
Only Beginning.
Il is known that the few indictments
secured at Moscow at the last two
terms of court are but a beginning.
There are, it is said, other indictments
TO follow, which are to bring into the
pale of the law men high in all walks
of life and whose names so far have
not been even suggested. The steps
to reclaim lands fraudulently secured
from the government will mean losses
of thousands of dollars to those people
who have advanced large sums of
money on Idaho lands secured from
the government, against which is a
cloud because of their alleged unlav-
fui requirement in the first place
1t is asserted that evidence has been
secured which, when presented in court
viii prove astounding 60 the general
public 1t is the dvowed purpose OF
the government to use the evidence
as a basis on which to commence its
re-entrance proceedings. OF course
other evidence will also be used. II is
also alleged that the government will
attempt to show by some of the in
dictments which il expects to secure
that in running the lines for some of
the gigantic irrigation projects the
lines were incorrectly run with the al
legged purpose of securing lands other
than originally intended to be placed
upon the ditch. These cases, il is said.
If proven, and the government thinks
they will be, will spell ruination to
many a settler who has spent his all
in the purchase of irrigated acreage.
