JAPANESE AMBASSADOR ADJ
VISED C0UNTRYMEN To
MARRY americans.
Report Reaches London That He Said
MAKE Yourselves Worthy CT AmerS-
can Women, but More Especially
Daughters Of MiIIionaries Then You
Arc Bound to Get Assistance"

Not in recent years has England en-
joyed such a sensation as has followed
the arrival in London from Japan OF
what purports to be an address deliver
ed In the city of New York by Wis
count AOl1i, the Japanese anlbassa-
dor to the United States, to an exclu-
sively Japanese audience, in which he
advised his hearers to be sure and
marry American wives. Make your
selves worthy of American women" he
is alleged to have said, "but more
especially of the daughters of million
aires. This will mean that IwhCn your
fathers in law become aware of your
merits they will assist you in every
way
This statement was considered SO
important that it was cablcd by Japan

| LEGATION has started a hot discussion
here as to whether or not these adj
vices were not inspired by the Japan
csc government, which is anxious to
secure funds from it's subjects to re-
duce the foreign debt. Englishmen
generally characterize the utterance Of
the ambassador as high handed i'm
| pudence."
The advantages of such marriages
from a Japanese point of view and
their disadvantages to Americans is
pointed out editorially in the Japa-
nese Times as follows:
ct is generally admitted by the Japa-
nese themselves that physically, they
are inferior to their American neigh
bors. On an average a Japanese adult
is about the size of a 16 year old
American boy. The offspring result
ing from such unions are a cross, be-
ing neither SO small as the Japanese
nor so large as the American mother
That the Japanese people desire to be
larger Is as apparent as their diminu-
tive size. Shortly after the decease OF
General Kodoma, one of his intimates
remarked that he was fine locking
man, looking more like a foreigner
than Japanese. So when Japanese
father sees his little son, by an Aneri-
can mother, little above the aver
age, he has cause for rejoicing, but
! when the American mother looks upon
: her little boy, by 4 Japanese father.

, stature and bowed legs, nothing but

Wrecks Train to Save Lives.


Kalamazoo, Mich, June Ed
ward Egan, operator of the train sig
nails in the tower of the crossing of
the Michigan Central and the Grand
Rapids and Indiana railroads near
this city, averted train wreck which
probably would have caused serious
loss of life today.
A Michigan Central freight train
that had gotten beyond the engin-
GERS control was bearing down on
the crossing, its whistle shrieking
appeals for a clear track At the
same moment Grand Rapids and
Indiana passenger train came along
at full speed.
Egan threw the derailer against
the freight train. knowing that II
would be wrecked and possibly re-
suit in the death of train men. He
chose this, however, rather than to
give the freight a clear track, as IL
would have run squarely into the
passenger and many might have beer
killed.
The freight engine left the track
but remained right side up. Foui
cars behind it were tumbled anC
broken into a pile, but no one was
hurt.

The esteemed Pittsburg Chronicle
Telegraph Is mistaken. 1t is not the
''sureness" of Pennsylvania that
bars the way to her favorite sons to
the white house. 1t is "blowhole'
armor plate, defective steel rails,
capitol graft, Pittsburg Doodle, Phil
adelphia corruption and a general
condition of civic rottenness that has
petrified into an axiom the obscure
statement that Nothing good ever
came out of Pennsylvania" Any
body who ever attains prominence in
that commonwealth, no matter how
pure, is under the suspicion of the
remainder of the country. If the es.
teemed Chronicle-Telegraph would
devote its attention to the purifying
local conditions, the rest of us
might discern more clearly the mer-
its OF Pennsylvania candidates.

some instances for their methods.
The Hague conference is made up OF
representatives of the powers, each
with his instructions, and It will be
found that each. instead of conceding
points to make up the general sum
OF the worlds peace, will be diplo-
matically, but insistently engaged in

not hear to Limitation Of armament.
She is a great land power. with mil
lions OF people to bear the burden
OF her military establishment. Her
harbors are ice bound; her frontier
extensive; her people restless and
needing the iron hand of the military
to preserve order.
But while coldly opposing any
suggestion of disarmament. Russia
is intent on discussion and settle
ment Of the questions of contraband
OF war, the supplying Of fuel to bel
ligerents In time OF war, and other
subjects, which would directly affect
such maritime nations as England
and Japan especially situated as
they are on islands and depending
on their ships for supplies as well as
a fighting force defense in time of
war.
Naturally England. having widely
scattered territories to protect, is not
likely to enter into the broad dis
cussion Of questions which more
vitally affect her than any Of the
others. Japan is not likely to sub
NIT to Russian diplomacy in these
matters, and Germany, Austria,

these questions. according to their
geographical boundaries. the char
acter of their governments and the
topography OF the country.
The United States and her Ameri-
can allies are Interested in the Drago

forcement Of the collection of priv

are not at all inclined to admit any
well defined ruling on the subject.

MISS COAL BOXES
TOO FREQUENTLY
West Kentucky Coal Company
Has ROusters Arrested
Lack OF Compunction in Regard To
Property of Others Marks
River Trade.
BOXES WERE NEWLY PAINTED

Missing coal boxes and shovels.
property OF the West Kentucky Coal
company, found on the steamer Dick
Fowler early this morning, resulted
in trouble between the river manag-
ers of the coal company and rousters
on the steamboat. The ringleader of
the rousters, Rich Robertson, was
arrested on a warrant sworn out by
the coal officers and held to bail in
the sum of 200, which was furnished
by Captain Mark Cole of the Dick
Fowler. The case will be tried tomor-
row morning in police court.
When found, the coal boxes had
been painted, evidently to hide their
identity. Henry Kopf. of the West
Kentucky Coal company, discovered
them on the Dick Fowler and interro-
gated the rousters on their presence
there Hot words followed on both
sides and a general row was narrow
ly averted. The warrant for Robert
son followed. Frequent disappearance
of their coal boxes and shovels left
in barges over night, has exasperat-
ed the coal company's officers. The
custom is to tie a barge at night be-
side the steamboat and coal in the
morning This was done last night
and when the coaling was started
this morning, several Of the boxes
could not be found.
Were Borrowed Boxes.
Captain Cole in going on the bond
OF the rouster. said that the trouble
was not over stolen boxes but over
some borrowed boxes, which the rous-
ter had painted. He said he had Dor
rowed the boxes to use in loading
brick and that they would have been
returned Henry Kopf, of the coal
company, said that the borrowed box
es had been returned last night and
that the boxes found on the steamer
this morning were other boxes, which
had been taken from the coal barge.
The painting was not sufficient to
hide the company's branded mark on
the boxes.
Appropriation OF other boats prop
erty is of frequent occurrence on the
river and the ethics of the game with
nearly all rousters, is to keep It II
you can. Painting and all manner Of
I devices are resorted to to hide iden-
titles. The wharfboat frequently los
es its trucks and finds them on the
steamboats making the local harbor.
On one occasion Captain e. w. Bew-
ley. of the John Hopkins. found a
rouster painting pair of trucks be-
longing TO the wharfboat. to prevent
the wharfboat officers from recognize
ing them. His decisive action in dis
charginb an officer as well as the
rouster is well remembered on the
river here.
