DEWEY ON JAP WAR
MANILA BAY HERO GETS TALK
ATIVE ON SUBJECT.
The Great Admiral Tells How Long
1t Would Take Uncle Sam to Put the
Japanese Navy to the Bad-He Does
Not Look for Any Trouble, but
Would Not Fear Japan.

Washington, Feb. admiral Dew
ey is reported to be very indignant at
what he terms the id cowardice" of
a certain high official who had "acted
as if he feared Japan" The fighting
hero of Manila bay says that we could
get our navy into eastern waters in
six weeks and that within two weeks
after it's arrival there it could sweep
Japan's navy from the sea. He does
not believe there will be trouble, but
if there is, he would not consider Jap
an a foe to fear. He says that Japan
might seize the Philippines and pos
sibly Hawaii, but that our navy is am
ply able to cope with Japan and that
we would quickly retake the island
when we got ready.
On the superstition that there was
really some danger of war, Senator
Perkins recent lecture on the Japan
csc question is being severely criti-
cized for the alleged warlike talk in
it. The Washington Herald said this
morning:
'At the very moment when the ad-
ministration and the California dele
cation were in agreement, when self
restraint and preservation of good hui
NOR were necessary to insure con-
tinuance of harmonious relations, Sen
ator Perkins, leader of the delegation,
delivered a semipublic address in
which he predicted that war was inc
vitable between Japan and the United
IN.-sO &c
are chagrined and Inundated over this
unexpected outburst, and cannot I'M
derstand the motive that actuated it.
1t was said yesterday that his predic-
ton would have come with bad grace
at this time from any member of the
California delegation, but the fact that
Senator Perkins is part of the treaty
making power of the government ac-
centuates the offense."
War Talk Surprises Japan.
Tokio-The war talk of the Ameri-
can press has been received here with
great surprise and sincere regret. The
correspondent of the Associated Press
has talked with several leading men.
| They concur in the opinion that the
United States is the last country with
which Japan would go to war. Besides,
both nations are unaggressive in their
trade rivalry, which seldom leads to
war unless territorial acquisition is in
tended by either rival. In some quar-
tiers the belief is expressed that the
misrepresentation that Japan is suf-
fering on account of the San Francisco
school question is the outcome of i'm
! munity shown disaffected war cores
pondents in the late war.
An Exclusion Resolution.
San Francisco.-At the convention
of the Japanese and Korean Exclusion
league Sunday resolutions adopted by
the executive board of the league on
Saturday night demanding the United
States and the state of California main
tain the right to exclude Japanese from
public schools used by white children,
were unanimously adopted, after much
spirited discussion by men prominent
in the movement to exclude Asiatics
from this country.

that it will be only matter OF few

HAYWOOD ACQUITTED.

VIM. D. Haywood, secretary and treas
urer of the Western Federation of Miners,
WAS yesterday morning acquitted of the
murder of former Governor Frank Steun-
enburg by the jury in Boise, Idaho.
Probability Of acquittal was freely
predicted after Judge Fremont Wood
read his charge, which was regarded IS
strongly fsvoring the defense in its in
depreciation of the laws of conspiracy,
circumstsntisl evidence and the corrob-
Grafton OF confessed accomplice.
1t was also freely predicted that, Sin
the event of Haywood's scquittal, the
State would abandon the prosecution OF
bis associates, Charles E. Meyer, presi-
deut of the federation, and George A.
Pettibone, of Denver. Statements from
counsel and from Governor GOoding,
issued yesterday, dispel this view of the
situation. Governor GOodng said:
"The verdict is great surprise to me
snd, l believe, 10 all citizens OF Idaho
who have heard or read the evidence in
the case. have done my duty. have
no regret as to any action | have taken,
and my conscience is clear. AS long as
God gives me strength | shall continue
my efforts for government by law and for
organized society. The State will con-
tinue a vigorous prosecution of Meyer
and Pettbone, and of Adams and Of
Simpkins when apprehended. There
will be neither hesitation nor retreat"
Not the least interesting OF the COM
ments made upon the verdict yesterday
was that of Harry Orchard, the confessed
murderer of Stuenenberg sad the witness
of whom the State chiefly relied to prove
is charge Of conspiracy among certain
members of the Western Federation OF
Miners. When told at the State peni.
Tertiary that Haywo cd had been acquit-
ted Orchard said:
"Well, | have done my duty; have
told the truth; could do no more; ! am
ready TO take any punishment that may
be meted out to me for my crime, and
the sooner it comes the better"
1t was after being out for q hours
that the jury, which first had been d.
vlded, to for acquittal, and then
seemed deadlocked, at 10 to 2, fiually
came to an agreement shortly after dawn
yesterday.
Tears welled in Haywood's eyes when
the verdict was announced.
There was no demonstration other
than that made by tho attorneys for the
defense when the verdict was declared.
The court proceedings we're over, the
prisoner was discharged and The jury dis

NEGRO LYNOHED.

Night Policeman John Ii. DOugherty,
of Crisfeld, Md, was shot and instantly
killed Saturday night by James Reed, a
half negro and half Indian, while con-
veying negro prisoner to the lookup.
Reed escaped, but was captured in
Tangier Sound yesterday. He was
taken to Crisfeld, and as soon as he
was put ashore he was attacked by an
infatuated mob, which kicked him to
death. His body vas suspended from
a telephone pole, where it remained
for some time in full gaze of all passers
by.
The coroner's jury met yesterday after
the body had been cut down. The YER
dict implicated no one.
Race feeling has been aroused by the
tragedy and further trouble may follow.
Policeman DOugherty met his death
about 9 O'Clock after he had taken into
custody Hillesry Jones, colOred, whom
he found in an esting-house in the negro
quarter and against whom several writs
had been issued. Jones was r friend
and partner of Reed, and when the latter
saw him in the officers charge he Dor
rowed pistol Of Lemusl Shovel, also
o negro, snd creeping up behind the
officer shot him in the back of the head.
Death was instantaneous.
Reed after killing the policeman
mounted bicycle and rode away. He
later abandoned the wheel and entered a
sailboat for the purpose of escaping into
Virginia. A calm set in and his pur-
sners were soon close upon him. When
they approached Reed jumped over
board to swim ashore. He was over
taken and hauled aboard a naptha launch
which had gone in pursuit.
The body of Reed was stolen last
night by a mob of enraged men. The
mob burned the body after saturating it
with oil. A large post was driven into
the ground, the body lashed to it With
rope and wire and pile Of wood WAS
placed at the foot. Cheers were given
as the flames arose.
