AFTER DEATH WE'LL WALK
AROUND AND EAT HEARTY
BY r, F. FRAZER

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-On the
shoulders of young man of 80
rests the most delicate legal case
ever heard in the federal courts
of Chicago.
This man is Fletcher Dobyns,
assistant United States district at
torney, who is the leading counsel
for the government in the prose
cution of John r. Walsh, accused
bank wrecker. He is a graduate
.of Harvard, unmarried, and with
only six years experience in legal
matters.
The ability of the young law
yer has astounded even his best
friends. Through his dramatic
efforts in his opening speech he
disclosed a network of financial
piracy" that startled even the
hardened financiers who sat in the
courtroom. Yet he did this with
the utmost diplomacy and deli
cacy. He had to use diplomacy,
for what he said involved the ac-
lions of the comptroller of the cur
rency.
He made a distinct charge that
the comptroller of the currency had
/ for two years known that the
Walsh institutions were unsound
and had yet allowed them to con
Time business with only a warn
( ing,
His adroit expression carried
the unmistakable inference that
Walsh through political pull had
been able to continue his opera
tons. For this reason alone had

COAL MEN NOW AT PEACE.
Operators Cite a Lack
of Complaints,

New York. July 1.-THE anthracite coal
calling attention TO the fact that a con-
dition of Industrial peace now exists in
the anthracite coal regions.
According to this statement, not a sin
gle case is pending before the board of
Cancellation, created by the strike COM
mission of 1902 to settle disputes Re
ferring TO this. the statement says;
This marks a condition of Industrial
peace brought about by means which are
probably unique In this country 1t must
be assumed that. if the miners have no
complaints 10 make, they are satisfied
with the way they are being treated.
During the four years of the commits
sIon's existence, 159 differences between
the coal operators and their employees
have been settled. The board itself
composed Of three representatives Of the
operators and three OF the miners-has
disposed Of 132 cases, and an even di-
vision Of the board has made it necessary
to refer only q cases to an umpire. OF
these appeals. he sustained the complaint
of only six cases.
Experience gained in handling the
complex questions involved has enabled
the board to render its decisions with
increasing promptness. and of the 159
cases presented, - were disposed Of
within less than one month
"Of the grievances considered. only one
was presented by the United Mine Work
ers of America, as a body representing
all the miners. Thirteen were presented
by the operators. and 146 by the miners
BY the board decisions, % cases were
sustained, 115 not sustained or withdrawn,
and 10 settled through the influence of
the board"
Although almost every element enter
ing into the welfare of the miners is
involved in the controversies before the
Cancellation board questions affecting
wages have rarely come up, according to
the operators, because of the fixing of a
minimum scale by the strike committee
and the renewal of that agreement last
year for three years. For every advance
Of cents above a tidewater selling price
OF $3.50 for domestic sizes, there is an
increase of L per cent in the wages Of
every miner.

Admiral Expresses Pleasure Over
Presidents Statement.
New York. July 14-AdmiraI Yamamoto
gave a dinner tonight at the Holland
House to eighteen representative Japanese
business men, which was also attended by
Lieut.. Henderson. The dinner was in
formal. no speeches being made. After
the dinner the admiral gave this state
ment, through his spokesman. Sato:
4 wish to thank my many friends In
New York both American and japanese,
for the multitude Of kindnesses shown me.
Wherever 1 have been I have found
friends and expressions of friendship. The
deep sense Of my appreciation for my
welcome again TO America (for you know
I have been here several timesJ forbids
my going away without saying 10 my
friends I am proud of your welcome,
Especially has the press been very
kind to me. I am glad II I have been in
any way instrumental in eliciting from
your great President his statement that
the feeling between Japan and the United
States is understood by both governments

The admiral and his party viii leave al
o'clock tomorrow for Boston. stopping
for a short visit at the Fore River ship
yards on the way. They will leave BOs-
ton on Tuesday or Wednesday for Mon
treal, and thence 90 to ottawa and tC
Seattle, where they will embark for home
Admiral Yamamoto made an informal
call on Gen Grant at Governors Island
to-day. While he was waiting for the
army ferryboat Hancock. the admiral
dropped into the ship news office and in
terviewed the ultramarine reporters
He recognized among them some OF
those who had greeted him on shipboard at
Quarantine when he arrived, and he
wanted to know how reporters got To
the ships His questions, put in good
English, indicated that he had a real
thirst for knowledge and was not
prompted by mere cur osity.
The admiral indicated that he did not
want to be received except as any friend
of Gen. Grant might be who was not in
the war game at all. The result was that
there was no grand turnout and No
saluting. The admiral merely had a per
sonal talk, intermingled with some dues-
items, with the general, and then came
back to Manhattan and went UP to his
hotel. He was accompanied by two aids
and two American officers.

japanese historians that the Emperor vol
unfairly gave his people the constitutional
government. this being often cited as evil
dence Of his greatness.
That the constitution came without
that civil conflict which has in so many
other countries been the chief cause Of
the change is undoubtedly true. but
Japans constitution was, in fact, the
outcome Of a long period of agitation,
during which the agitat0rs at times SUI
fered political eclipse. These men began
their agitation as far back as 1874. but it
was not until seven years later that there
came the imperial rescript announcing
that ten years later constitutional gov
eminent would be put in force.
The old Liberal party lasted through the
first ten years of the new regime, to
finally become absorbed by the Ito party,
the Seiyu-kai, in 1900.
Okuma Pounds shimpO-to.
In 1SS2 Count Okuma founded the Shin
po-to. Of which he was the recognized
and active leader up to a short while ago,
when, owing to friction with younger
leaders and disgust over the faetionaI di-
visions that had developed under his
domination Of the party's affairs. he an
nounced that he was going TO give up
politics for all time.
As has been said, there is apparently no
real difference in principle between the
Shimpo-to and the Seiyu-kai. The two
parties are rivals principally on account
of personal ambitions. At such times as
they have acted together, they have been
able to dominate the Diet. but in no case
has the alliance lasted long. For this
reason the ministeTialists. as they call
themselves. who do not believe In party
rule, nave held cOEtro! of the cabinet
more than half the time since the install
lation of the existing administrative sys-
tens in 1885.
A great deal was expected by the sup
pOrters Of the party form of government
when the Seiyu-kai was born, but IN a
few months there were internal dissen-
sions which led the fouth Ito cabinet to
resign en- masse. This was the second
strictly party cabinet, and the second in
glorious failure Naturally, the failure
played into the hands of the element
which is opposed to party government.
and the premiership passed to the young
er leader of that faction, Count Katsura.
He held Office for five years. to be sue
ceeded as has been told, by the present
Sai0nji ministry.
