4 Singular Case in Burma Which Is Giving British Scientists Something to Think About.

Rangoon. Burma, Oct. 6.-That is regarded as d practical illustration of the Buddhist doctrine of "reincarna- tion" is puzzling British scientists here It is a little native child of be- tween three and four who claims to be the reincarnation of Major D. J. Welsh, of the British army, who was drowned in the Meiktilia lake, near the chiId's home in 1904. The child was born about the same time and, ac- cording to the Buddhist belief. became Ia ''miniza," the second earthly home of dead mans soul.
 The child. who is fair-haired and
 blue-eyed, is otherwise a normal
 youngster of the peasant class. He astonished his mother by gravely an- nouncing that he was Major Welsh, de- scribing the dead mans house, the number of his horses, and other details
 of his life. He gave an account of the loss of little sailing boat in storm
 on the lake, and the drowning of Ma jor Welsh and two other persons. The child's weird personality attracts crowds to hear him speak as the dead major. Tests applied to him have fail
 ed to prove that his "reincarnation" is
 a fake by his parents.
 A similar case of 'reincarnation' oc- cured in Pegu some years ago, a
 young native child declaring that he was the ''minza" of MT. A. w. Tucker. 1 district superintendent of police, who
 was killed by dacoits (outlaws) at the time of the child's birth.

GOVERNMENT
 TAKES STEPS
To Exclude All Japanese
 COOIieS From Country
The Authorities Alarmed by the Number Pouring In From All Sides.

Washington, Oct. 6.-The immigra- ton of Japanese is increasing at so alarming a rate that it has been de- terminsd to adopt extraordinary meas ures to prevent the introduction of all Japanese coolie labor. One result of the trip of Secretary Straus has been an increase in the force of immigra tion inspectors along the Canadian border. It is known that over d double of the number of Japanese en- tered the country this year compared with the same period of last year.
 The government figures do not in- clude those that came surreptitiously. It has been learned through the in- spectors of Canada and Mexico that large numbers of Japanese are there bound for the United States. Organi- cations in the Hawaiian Islands whose business it to procure laborers for the United States provide means whereby they may come through Canada and Mexico.

SIX WEEKS OUTING
 100 BUSY 10 REST
B. A. Fowler Returned Yesterday After Hi& Vacation Which Was More Than Usually Strenuous.

B. A. Fowler president of the Salt River Valley Water Users association returned home yesterday morning af- ter a stay of about six weeks on the coast. His summer plans were all dis arranged, nevertheless he has done a great many things he did not have in mind to offset the things he intended to do but did not accomplish. Mrs. Fowler is with her father and mother in Los Angeles and will remain for some time yet.
 The phrase "On the coast" is scarce ly appropriate in the case of Mir. Fow- Ter. It means very nearly the same thing in his case that it does in other cases but technically there is all the difference in the world. In ordinary use that expression means that a Phoenix visitor has had a vacation in Los Angeles and vicinity during which he spent few days at the beach in surf bathing, the coast attraction fur nishing the excuse for the outing trip. In the case of MT. Fowler while he has theoretically been on the coast he hasn't visited a single beach or touch ed salt water. The occasion of his western trip was the irrigation con

New York, Oct. 6.-At a session of the German American alliance today resolutions were adopted protesting against .he '1nterfrrencc of the church in legislation and politics and its meddling with the affairs of public of- ficers." and criticising Governor Han ley of Indiana for his appeal for tenn perance legislation. and commenting Henry Watterson for his courageous sentiments" against prohibition.
 The resolution declared in favor of the canteen and characterized the failure to elect Vice President Fair banks a delegate to the Methodist conference because of the cocktail in- cident. a violation of the principle of personal liberty.
 The meeting appointed committee in opposition to more stringent laws against desirable immigrants.

A FRIGHTFUL BAPTISM
 WITH MOLTEN METAL
Four Killed and Twenty Fatally Burn
 ed in an Explosion at Butler, Pa.

Butler, Pa, Oct 6.-An explosion caused by the upsetting of metal pot containing 5000 pounds of molten metal in Number one cupalo of the Standard Steel company today caused the death of four men, fatally injured twenty and seriously injured twenty more. Nearly all are foreigners. The whole plant was demolished with loss of s100.00O. The condition of many of the injured is pitiable. Although still alive the features of a majority are mutilated beyond recognition. The hot metal was showered over them. their arms. fingers and ears were torn off and a number had their eyes burn ed out. Their legs were burned to a crisp. The explosion came so quickly that not a workman in the building had a chance to escape.

gress' in Sacramento and after it's con- ciusion he went to Los Angeles where he was very busy with matters of a business and semi business nature. He and Mrs. Fowler kept waiting to take real vacation with each other and one thing after another interfered un- til vacation days were over. However he had a good time and probably missed a good many flea bites.
 There is little to be said about the irrigation congress at this late date. Mir. Fowler like all the other returning delegates reports that 1t was a great convention and that Arizona had a magnificent delegation. Asked about his election as secretary of the irriga- tion congress he said he felt greatly honored though it is a position one would hardly seek merely for the honor in 1t or the remuneration either. in view of the fact that there is lot of hard work, not a cent of salary and in the course of a year some hundreds of dollars of expense that comes out ones private pocket. Mir. Fowler ac- cepted the position only after 1t was impressed upon him that in doing so he might be able to be of greater ser vice to this valley in the closer rela- tionship of the local reclamation pro ject of which he is at the head, and the organization that represents the popular irrigation movement all over the country.
 After the close of the session at Sac ramento MT. Fowler accompanied Gov ernor Kibbey on his river trip to San Francisco, a very enjoyable journey, as has been previously mentioned fin these columns. Finally reaching Los Angeles he has been devoting his time to a study of the practical workings of the juvenile court, to matters prelim- mary to his years work as secretary of the irrigation congress. and to a study of the operations of the Asso- ciated Charities in Los Angeles, the latter in particular with respect to patients suffering of tuberculosis.
 In this he was in frequent conference with C. B. Booth. formerly president of the irrigation congress. later chair man of the executive committee, and a leader in the work of the associated charities. He secured a great deal of information that he believes will be of practical use in Phoenix later on in one way or another. There are certain ideas of cooperation between the or ganized charities of the various cities of the coast that might be spread to embrace more of the organized charf- ties. in the middle west and cast. with benefits both to the organization and to indigent invalids.

in which that saloon has been con- ducted and twice Ackel has been ar rested on the complaint of Mexicans who left money with him and said that they had not been able to recover it. Their testimony. however. was all ways smothered by that of other wit nesses who swore that they saN Ackel or his bartender give the complaint ants the money.
 Informal charges have also been made that minors have always been able to buy liquor at the Senate and last Monday a boy was arrested drunk and taken to jail. He said that he had bought the liquor of Ackel. This boy, by the way, was one of the witnesses in the Alhambra case; resulting fin the revocation of the license of B. F.. Reaksecker
 Immediately after the arrest of the boy, Ackel came to the sheriff's office filled with indignation and breathing threats against Deputy Sheriff Perez, who made the arrest. He said that Perez had been snooping about his place and that the next time he saw him he would break his head and kick him out.
 Yesterday another youth, Joe Baine. was picked up drunk. He said that he had filled up at the Senate After he had been locked up. Deputies Davis and Perez went to the saloon for the purpose of finding out if more boys were there, since 1t had been reported that Ackel was paying absolutely no attention to the law against selling to minors. The officers also had in mind the threat of Ackel against Perez and it was decided to ascertain whether he really meant it. Accordingly Perez entered the saloon alone. He was met at the door by Ackel. who asked him what he wanted, and tried to push him out. The officers arrested him and locked him up. but later he was released on bail

FAIR ASSOCIATION SUES
 FOR A SUBSCRIP TON
A Strenuous Effort Being Made to
 Get All the Pledged Funds Together

A unique action was filed in district court late on Saturday afternoon. a suit by the Arizona Fair Association against A. B. Williams and Theo. Haffner for the collection of a sub scription of s25O to the fund of about $50, ,OO0 pledged by the business men of Phoenix following a banquet at the Hotel Adams soon after the passage Of the bill authorizing the holding of a territorial fair. The subscription in question was made in the name of the Ford hotel, of which the defendants are the proprietors.
 Several other subscribers held out their subscriptions until several months ago the association put tho matter in the hands of a collector. since when most of them have been paid. There are still a few outstand- ing but members of the association say that all of them will be collected or the association will have to be shown that collection is impossible.
 Holders of stock which has been received in lieu of subscriptions which have been paid believe that that hold ing will look up and be worth more than par. It is understood that move will be made to secure the pas sage of a bill by the next legislature authorizing the taking over of prop erty by the territory. in which case it will probably bring much more than was paid for it.
 The ground owned by the associa- tion was brought before the recent sharp rise in the value of real estate and it is estimated now that the ground alone is worth at least fifty per cent more than at the time of its purchase.

A Negro Summarily Put to Death For
 the Shooting of Policeman.

Cumberland. Md. Oct. s.-The first lynching in the history of Cumberland occurred today. William Burns. a ne- gro desperado. was kicked and shot to death for shooting Policeman August Banner on Thursday. Only Sheriff Pendley was in the jail when a hum dred men. a few disguised, demanded the keys after midnight.
 Being refused. a telegraph pole was used as a battering ram and an en- trance to the building was forced. Other negroes in neighboring cells were careful to guide the lynchers to Burns cell and again the battering ram was used. The lynchers seized the victim by the feet and dragged him to the street where within a few yards of the jail Burns was kicked and shot to death.
 Rev. W. c. Hicks did his best to save Burns and afterwards protected his body until the arrival of Judge A. H. Boyd and the police. The crowd obeyed Boyd's orders to disperse.

Philippines she would inevitably lose. All Japanese statesmen desire their acquisitions; and the Japanese denial of this based on the pretence that the climate is too hot for colonists, Is un- true. However, 1t is a mistake to as- sume that Japan would necessarily concentrate on the Philippines in the event of war. More likely, she would not shrink from the risk of attacking the American fleet, wherever it might be found. and of directly menacing the Pacific coast.
 The United States is not at present in a position to resist such an attack. A war with the United States would be the most awful experience America could undergo. Americans rely too much on their fleet"

He says that at the present rate the bet ter part of the fuel supply will be gone by the end of the century.

Berlin. Oct. 6.-General Linevitch, who was commander in chief of the czar's army during the Russo-Japanese war in a more recent interview has given his views Of the far eastern sit- uation which are of great interest to Americans, repeating and making stronger his views expressed month ago.
 T am a firm believer in the exist ence of a yellow peril" the general said, and l believe that the United States is the first country that will be given proof of its reality.
 America is developing into a pre- dominant Pacific ocean power. and it is in the Pacific that she will most likely lose the prestige of which she is so justly proud.
 America made two great mistakes in her far eastern policy which have greatly weakened her position in the Pacific. First, she sympathized with and openly favored Japan during the late war. Second, she saved the Jap anese from ultimate defeat when Pres ident Roosevelt called the Portsmouth Peace Conference. From a humani tartan point of view President Roose- welt deserved the gratitude of the world because he put an end to the bloodshed. but as a diplomat he was not farsighted enough.
 Russia would at any time have been ready to cooperate with America in the far east and her possessions there would have afforded a splendid mar ket for American goods and trade was all that America was and is looking for on the western shores of the Pa cific.
 "In my opinion Russia's position would have improved had the war con- tinued, and I may adduce the fact that during the five months during which I was commander of the our forces, the Japanese did not venture to re- peat the attacks which they made so successfully at Liao-yang and Muk- den. But apart from that, the contin- uation of the war would have seriously weakened Japan commercially and po- litically; and for a generation delivered America from powerful rival in the Pacific. But Mir. Roosevelt first help ed Japan to victory. and then helped her to reap the fruits of a victory, as if American patriotism consisted in making Japan one of the greatest powers on earth.
 ''I consider that this powerful new Japan now threatens Americas exist ence as Pacific power. She will destroy American trade. Her subjects. if all lowed to settle freely in American possessions will undermine the eco homie prosperity of the white Amer icans
 During my long residence in east Asia, I had opportunities TOT studying the effect of Japanese immigration. The Japanese regarded Russian terri tory as a sponge to be squeezed. They took low wages spent not a kopeck; many even brought with them boxes of rice for their own consumption. Amer ica can suffer even more from Asiatic settlers, as the standard of living is high.
 "Of course. America can exclude Japanese from the Pacific coast. But from that must arise a political dan ger. I am convinced that any section against Japanese interests in America whether on the part of the federal gov ernment, or of the local authorities or citizens, would be a prelude to a wal in which America could gain nothing and would probably lose much.
