The president made many friends

the two territories admitted Jointly.
"The timber lands investigation Is
not as sensational as the newspapers

Japanese Press DepIores Incident.

Toxic, Sept. 12.-The Jill. In a lead
ing editorial, to be published tomor-
row. greatly deplores the fact that an
incident similar to that of San Fran
cisco has occurred at Vancouver.
which Is part of the territory of an
ally Of Japan. The Jill believes the
trouble at Vancouver was oceasioned
by the increased arrival of japanese
laborers from Hawaii after the en-
fareemant of the exclusion measure
by the government at washington
coupled with contagiOn of anti-Japa-
nese sentiment rampant on the Pacific
coast of the United States This had
famed into flame an anti-orlental sen
timent which had existed for several
years in British Columbia and which
had only been prevented from assum-
ing legal form by the attitude of the
dominion government The paper
however, emphasizes the fact that the
outbreak at Vancouver like that at
San Francisco, is only local

The paper quotes this Japanese Of

were the toughest and rudest he had
ever seen. They were totally iRnor-

not wonder they became an object Of
hatred.

CALL FOR REPORT
 |S EXPECTED SOON National Banks Prepare to
 Show Conditions MAY GIVE CONFIDENCE
It Is Believed That Reports Viii Show Large Cash Reserve, Not Only in Central, But Coun-
 try Banks.

New York, December IA call upon the national banks for statement of their condition of very recent date IS expected by bankers here to come from the comptroller of the currency this week. Four of the five required each year by law have already been made, the last having shown the con dition of the national banks on Au- gust 22 It is possible that the antici- pated elal will have an important in huence on the financial situation. IL is expected that it will reveal large reserves of cash in the country banks and this will tend to restore confidence among depositors to degree which will make il easy to resume currency payments throughout the country.
 The banks in national terms will pre- pare for a call by strengthening their cash; in order to make a good showing. not only to the comptroller, but to their clients. Tn cir statements are required by law to be published in a local paper and they are also forwarded to Wash ington where they are compiled by cities and states
 The effect of a call for report of condition on a fixed date. which is usually few days before the call by the comptroller is to enable the bank to release cash after tue call, with the understanding that another call is not likely in the international orde. af things in about two mpntbs. In the present sitna ton it Is declared by New York banks Che call will show that boarding is not being done by New York bank ers----as indeed their deacien cies in reserves alYeady lndicate-but that many of the interior banks have reserves running up to such propor- tions as 40 or 50 per cent of deposits. The facts will reach the public from individual banks through publication locally and then will come to the public generally through the compilations made by tife comptroller.
 If large reserves in lawful money in their owrs vaults are revealed gener- ally by fkhe reports, it will at once ln spire confidence in the strength of the banks and create a demand which they will no longer be disposed to resist, after sending in their reports, for the inn edaite resumption of currency pay me hts.

STATE WILL SEEK QUICK SETTLEMENT Question of Courts Jurisdiction May Be Raised AT CONFERENCE TODAY Writ of Prohibition or Habeas Corpus May Be Filed Which Would
 Go Direct To Supreme
 Court.
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery December 1.--(Special)- That the state will seek quick settlement of the question of jurisdiction in the in- functions granted against the state laws by the federal court, at the instance of the railroads, seems well established. Two ways are open to this point. one by application for a writ of prohibition to as- certain the rights of the court, and the other by habeas corpus to release any man who may be arrested. The point of attack would be the theory that the United States has no right to enioin crim- inal prosecution.
 In both cases the application would go direct to the United States supreme court, in the first place by petition for estoppal order on the ground of no authority. and in the latter the same idea, but reached in the way of habeas corpus to release any man arrested for contempt in violat- ing tine order of the court. The advan- tage of the plans being that they will be acted upon in short time With the feeling that now exists it is regarded as very important that a decision be arrived at the earliest possible moment. It $ thought here tonight that one of these ideas will be adopted at the meeting of the governor and the state attorneys in Birmingham tomorrow.
 An interesting report comes from Ozark, Dale county, to the effect that when one of the deputy marshals went to serve the order of the court last week one of the officers of the state court told him that if he did he would have him arrested. Cooler heads prevailed, however. and the officer served the papers without moles- tation. This is the only case of resistance to ti1e deputies reported.

WOMEN ARE RELEASED.
Jewelry Thosht To Have Been Stolen
 Is Found In New York.

Mobile, December 1.-(Special.) )-hIiss Rebecca Edelshon and sister. Mrs. Celia Hermann and three children, who were held by Chief Rondeau on charge of grand larceny, were released last night at o'clock, under telegraphic orders from Chief of Detectives McCaferty of New York.
 The arrest grew out of the fact that on November 22, the day the parties sailed from New York on the steamer Rio Grande for Mobile, a member of the same household missed certain articles of jew elry, and being unable to account for the loss, swore out warrant against Miss Edelshon and Mrs. Hermann. The jew elry was found yesterday and the com pIaint promptly withdrawn.
 Through the work of MT. Henry Hess, president of the United Hebrew Charities of Mobile, the women were taken care of during their detention here. Upon advice of the counsel yesterday morning, the parties refused to return to New York City without requisition papers.
 The two women will remain here and seek employment. The children will be placed in school at Fair Hope.
