REPORTS EXAGGERATED.
Bonaparte Tells Cabinet About Row
In San Francisco.

Washington, May 3O.-At the cabi-
net meeting yesterday, Attorney-Gen-
eral Bonaparte laid before the Presi-
dent and Secretary Root the report OF
District Attorney Devlin, of San
Francisco, upon the alleged assault
on Japanese residents of that city.
The report, Mr.. Bonapart says, shows
that the first stories of the alleged
assault were exaggerated, and that
the difficulty appeared to be a lack OF
police protection, owing to a strike.
Secretary Root took the report with
him, and if any further action is taken
it will be by the State Department.
Mr.. Root received the following tel
egram from the governor of Cali
fornia in answer to a message of in
quiry relative to the attack upon
Japanese in San Francisco last Tues
Your telegram of May 25, con-
cerning assault made upon japanese
received Will call attention of Chief
of Police of San Francisco at once to
your telegram and request him to use
every effort to protect these people.
Think the assaults were due largely to
uncertain conditions existing in San
Francisco by reason of the labor
troubles"
The State Department has taken no
further action in the matter as yet,
but undoubtedly will communicate
Governor Gillett's telegram to the
Japanese embassy. and the belief is
oppressed that it will sufficiently meet
the complaint.

RUSSlA'S GRATITUDE.
Americas Aid 10 the Starving Did
Great Good.

st. Petersburg, June 4.-The Russian
famine committee has notified its rep
resentatives in London and New York
that the time has arrived to cease agi-
tation for foreign subscription, as Rus
sia now is able to care for her own
people.
Prince Lvoff says that assistance
sent to Finland from Great Britain and
the United States has done inestimable
good and has been a mighty weapon to
force the Russian government to do its
duty. With the latest Douma appropri-
ations, the aid given by the state totals
$S7, 100000, of which $6,000,000 will be
devoted to fighting the scurvy in Ufa
province and elsewhere, and in main
tanning eating places. These eating
places at present number 10000 and are
feeding 2,500,000 people.
Prince Lvoff said the outlook for the
harvest in Central Russia was the most
promising of dozen years past. There
had been a plentiful rainfall and tenn
perature had been excellent for the
growing crops.

WARRIOR VISITS

KurOM ShudderS at Bloody Scenes
in Killing Pens.
Much Interested in Place Where Mil

pared for His Victorious Armies
MarveIs Greatly at Many Labor
saving Contrivances.

Chicago, May 3O--"Russian losses
were terrible. The fighting on the
crest of the hill was altogether with
cold steel. The Russian officers, with
swords aloft, leading the scaling col
umn, we're literally lifted into the air
by the Japanese bayonets, and the
japanese then bayoneted the first OF
the Russian soldiers who piled in the
trenches. All the dead in the trenches
were bayoneted, their weapons bear
ing marks of the dreadful combat. =
From an Associated Press description
of the battle of Mukden, where Cen
,eral Kuroki led the Japanese right
wing.
General Baron Tememoto Kuroki,
the great Japanese warrior, who shud-
dered not at the terrible battle scenes
in the Japanese Russian war, shrank
yesterday from the bloody killing
floors at the Union stockyards. 1t
was at Swift & Co.'S plant that the
Japanese first got his view OF the
commercial slaughter of the porkers.
AS the stalwart butcher plunged his
knife into the hogs throat, the aged
general sprang to one side, deeply at
fected.
General O. E. Wood, of the United
States Army, who was in charge OF
the Japanese visitors, noticed General
Kuroki's agitation, and, holding up his
hands, gave the signal to go on.
General Kurok and his party
passed two busy hours in the stock
Yards, which closed with a luncheon
at the Saddle and Sirloin Club. Pre-
ceding his visit to the packing firm,
General Kuroki paid his respects to
Mayor Busse at the city hall, smiled
at the unique position in which the
Columbus fountain was "squeezed' up
against the building, and commented
on the beauty of Michigan avenue as
a drive.
At the stockyards the general gazed
with amazement at the droves OF cat
tie and watched with undisguised in
terest the packers of the meat indus
try. He saw the hog-killing at Swift
& Co.'S, the canning at Mcneil &
Libby's, the office and sausage room
of the Nelson Morris plant, and the
killing and dressing of beef in the
wholesale market at Armour's. He
shook hands heartily with the owners
and managers of the different plants
asked hundreds of questions, and
smiled at the rapidity with which the
cattle passed into the finished product
ready for shipment. He was especial
1y interested in the United States
Government inspection of meats, and
the methods of seal-tight packing oi
products for shipment to the ORIENT

HAS TITIAN'S "ST JEROME"
St. Louis Man Got Priceless Old
Painting for Mere Pttance.

st. Louis, June 4.-Edward Sells, of
st. Louis, believes he has identified a
painting he purchased a year ago for
less than 800 as the famous est.
Jerome" painted by Titan about 1881.
No trace of the painting has been had
since about 1929. Sells purchased the
picture from Allison X. Stewart, a St.
Louis mining engineer, to whom it was
given in 1900 by a padre in the noun
tains of Honduras after Stewart had
given him liberal offering of silver.
The painting itself shows it is very
old. The canvas is handmade and filled
with red clay, after the customs of the
Renaissance period. ST. Louis artists
say the painting bears several defects
peculiar to Titan s work. They esti-
mate the value of the painting, if it is
the Titan "St. Jerome,' to be about
100000.

PUT RAILROAD MEN IN JAIL.
Clements Wants to Make Example OF
Prominent Lawbreaker.

Chicago, May ga dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington, d. G.,
says:
"The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has entered upon more rad
ical policy in the treatment of cor
porations which persist in violating
the law. Possessed Of authority to
investigate every phase of railroad
business, and having the power to
bring about the punishment of indi-
viduals as we'll as corporations, the
commission is pushing its work with
determination. Commissioner Jud-
son C. Clements, of Georgia, who has
had IS years service, yesterday, said:
"One of the most wholesome things
that could happen would be putting
in Jail some man of prominence IN the
railroad world. 1t would do more
than anything else to bring better
conditions.
1T would not be necessary to put
in Jail all the men who ought to be
there. Just one or two who hold
high positions in the social and busi-
ness world should be put behind bars.
This would act as a powerful deter
rent, for men then would hesitate to
jeopardize their positions and safety.
Questions of criminal prosecution
by the commission have been dele
gated to Franklin K. Lane, of Cali
fornia, one of the most energetic and
conservative members. When Mr..
Lane was asked, "Are you going to
send somebody in the railroad world
to jai?" he replied: Il hope. that it
will not be necessary. If the rail
roads comply with the law we will
get along most harmoniously, but if
the law is broken, then there will be
trouble"
DO you intend to have Edward H.
Hartman prosecuted?" ?"
That whole subject is under con-
sideration by the commission. If
Hartman has been guilty of any in
fraction of the act to regulate COM
merce, he will, as matter of course,
be prosecuted-not at all because he
is Hartman, but because he is an Of
fender against the law"

Chinese Rebels Active,

London, June 4.-According to a spe-

their depredations would lead to foreign
interference. The dispatch also adds
that the market is overstocked with
American piece goods and that 10000
pieces are being reshipped to New York.
