Man as UpimpressIve ChRrRc-

NEW YORK, June 25.-Mareelin Albert,
the French peasant who has sprung into

growers movement in southern France. is

typical peasant, of medium height and
spare figure. with toil-hardened hands. sun
burnt face, aquiline nose, prominent cheek
bones and the dark eyes, black hair and
coal black beard Characteristic of these
children Of the south.
when II is possible to hear his voice
there is nothing very attractive in the
timbre On the contrary, It is somewhat
harsh and decidedly unmusical and he ap-
pears to have little of that facile CAB
which one expects to find in popular
leader.
"Astuteness, mother wit and steadfast-
ness all these he has, but of the attractive
factors OF voice, manner or personality, in
which the power of most demagogues re-

REASON OF AID TO JAPANESE
Government Explains Why District
Attorney Devlin VIII Take
Part in Suit.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-Some com
ment having been excited by the instruc-
tion to United States District Attorney
Devlin to assist the proprietors of the
Japanese establishments in San Francisco
in the prosecution of their suits for dam
ages sustained through the mobbing of
their places, It is explained by some OF
the oficials that this rather anamalous
linking Of the national government with
private plaintiff is brought about
through a desire by this government to
redeem It's pledge, to the effect that the
Japanese IN America shall enjoy all the
rights guaranteed TO them by treaty. The
necessity of resorting to this course of
action is deprecated, and It is said that
the outcome will be an appeal to con-
gress, probably at the next session, to
provide by law for the removal from
state to federal courts of all issues In
volving the treaty rights OF resident
aliens. Mr.. Olney, when secretary OF
state in President Cleyeland's second ad-
ministration, being much troubled with
incidents involving attacks by mobs on
Italians and Chinese, sought legislation
on this line from congress, but the time
was inopportune. and the opposition from
the state rights people was strong enough
to thwart his desires. It is believed now
however, that the time is ripe for such
legislation and an effort will be made tc

JAPAN is ON AGGRESSIVE
Takes Action I'm Manchuria that win
Force China TO Outline
Policy.

MUKDEN, June S-without waiting for
an announcement of the policy of the new
Manchurian administration, Japan on the
ground Of defense of her treaty rights
has begun program apparently directed
toward forcing action by China. II Is
reported that the Peking government al
ready has asked to reopen negotiations
toward reaching an agreement In the tim
Der dispute. All Manchurian industries on
the Yalu river are in a state of suspense
on this account. General Kojima, military
head OF the timber bureau is levying on
one-fourth OF all timber. Owing to the
fact that 1000 unoccupied lumber men
are now in Antung. disorder is feared.
General Kojima today issued a proclama-
ton intended to relieve the situation.
China's default in the negotiations and its
support OF large timber company in de-
fance OF japanese protests has rendered
void the plan OF Kojirna for stopping
Chinese timber operations, which he holds
to be illegal. Chinas course since May
has exposed her to coercion and the al
teration of the Japanese Manchurian
policy from compromise to force.

operator set the machine in motion again.
and the ship rose to an altitude of about
900 feet and started northward over the
sky scrapers of Manhattan island. Mr..
Beachey then sent his airship over the

some manner he collided with a spindle

CARLOS THRONE IN DANGER
CuriOus Attitude of Government I'm
Portugal slowly ArOusing
the People.

|. LONDON. June 25.-A correspondent Of
the Tribune says In a letter mailed from
Lisbon June 10 that King Carlos throne Is
In imminent danger of being swept away
by the rush OF a great democratic wave,
swollen suddenly to dangerous proportions
by the act of despotism which he permitted
on May /. The people do not forget. the
correspondent says that last year the king
condemned Premier Ribeiros attempt to
dissolve the Cortes and they contrast this
attitude toward a conservative premier
with the curious, illogical license he has
given to Premier France. The general
feeling of the country is one OF advanced
liberalism and a repetition of autocratic
bungling can only have one result today IN
Portugal, the writer says, namely, the
deposition of the king and the establish
ment OF a republic.

churches throughout the world, headed by
the Rev William Freemantle. dean Of
Ripon who presented en- address urging
the conference to ensure peace, justice and
humanity. The address was signed by all
the leading churchmen of Great Britain ex-

pate even indirectly in a conference to
which the pope was not invited, Nine

NJ. Neldoff cordially thanked the depu-

OF the conference, to which, he said, the
address would be communicated. adding
that everyone earnestly desired the success
of it's work.
The proposition which France presented
to the second committee Qand war; has not
yet been definitely drafted. It will merely
express the wish that a declaration of war
be compulsory before the opening of hos
tilities
