WARM FEELING IN
JAPAN FOR AMERICANS.
War Talk Due to Ntwspd-
per Stories.

NEW YORK, October 22.-( SpeciaD
Il think it will not be long before
our people will take out naturaliza-
ton papers in your country" said
General Viscount Nishi, Imperial Gen
eral Inspector of Military Education
in the Japanese army.
"Will the Japanese make good
American citizens?" he was asked.
They will be most friendly and
respectful replied the old weather
beaten warrior, who stoTmed Port
Arthur to the discomfort of the
Russians.

Cause of War Talk

What was the cause of the recent
war talk?" was asked.
Then followed an answer that was
longer than the others, with parenthe-
tic gasps, and much that sounded like
'touchin' upon the appertainin to-
The general says" said Otaka, with
an amiable smile, that was not part
of the generals demeanor, that it is
a pity so many people believe what
they read in the newspapers. In
his own country there has never been
anything but the warmest feeling for
the American people.
Because Japan was obliged to
fight in China, and because the war
with Russia was forced upon us, it
has been represented that the Japan
csc want to fight everybody. This is
not true, he says, it cannot be true,
between two great nations like Am
erica and Japan"
But the Japanese newspapers were
in part responsible for the same sort
of thing?'
The general shrugged his shoulders,
inclined his head slightly, and was
reported to say that he was not aware
of that fact When reminded of an
interview in a Toxic paper with a
japanese admiral unpleasantly criti-
cal of the American gunner, he was
genuinely surprised.

High Regard for Americans

"The Oriental man is not so very
different from the Western man, con-
tinued Gen. Nishi Il speak only as
a soldier, not as a commercial man.
In our country we regard the Ameri-
can as the highest type of white
man. Our people have always mixed
with the great world. We are appre-
ciative of all races, and | think that
all races respect us. The hearts OF
all men beat alike; there should be
no distinction excepting upon the
ground of moral character"

rome said he wished to make state
ment of his position in order to clear
himself of any suspicion that he had
been in possession of knowledge
which had been withheld from court.
He said 1t had been his personal
opinion that Thaw was of unsound
mind but he could find no opportunity
to bring the matter before the court
until the defense called DR.. Hamilton.
He is the one man." said jerome,
who has information which is of the
utmost Importance in determining the
course of this proceeding"
Jerome said that on Feb. 10, DR..
Flint had informed him Thaw was in
capable Of instructing his counsel. Je-
rome said he then called in other alien
lists and after submitting all the evi.
dence in his possession they Joined in
declaring that Thaw Is paranaiac
and that he should be in the asylum
He said Hamilton had persistently
tried to persuade him to apply for a
commission in lunacy.
Continued Till Saturday.
Jerome at the conclusion Of his re.
marks asked Delmas If he would
waive the right of professional priv
lege in the case of Hamilton. Delmas
said the superstition was absurd and
he declined to waive any Of the rights
of his client and he objected to the
further examination of DR.. Hamilton
by Jerome.
Justice Fitzgerald declined to allow
the examination of Hamilton.
The hearing adjourned until tomor
row when the jury will again be ex
cused until Monday Justice Fitzgerald
allowed both sides until Saturday aft
ernoon to present aff1davits.

Belief is Also Prevalent That
Commission Will Find

Make Affidavit
MATTER WILL BE
DECIDED SATUSDAY
Delmas Objects to Hearing
After Court Opens, Claim
ing He Had Not Time to
Prepare Answer

New York, March 21.-That Justice
Fitzgerald will appoint commission
In lInacy to inquire into the present
mental condition of Harry Thaw
seems foregone conclusion. This
afternoon he will hear the argument
Of the counsel on both sides Of the
famous case and he plainly intimated
yesterday that he would appoint a
commission.
That this commission will find Thaw
now insane is the opinion Of most OF
those who have closely followed the
trial.
Aienists Say Is Dangerous.
The seven alienists employed by
Jerome today signed afhdayits for
presentation to Judge Fitzgerald in
the argument this afternoon for the
appointment of commission in lun
ancy to examine Thaw. Six of the
alienists in their af1dayits declared
that Thaw is suffering from form OF
paroniao, that he should not be dis
charged from custody; that If he
should be discharged he would be dan
gerous to public peace and safety, and
it is reasonably certain that he will
not recover.
The seventh alienist, Dr. Hirsch
agrees with his colleagues except thai
he. declared that Thaw cannot posi-
bly, recover.
Reporter Makes Affidavit.
The document includes also an If
fidavit by Irving S. Cobb, reporter
describing note given to him few
weeks ago by Thaw in which Thav
commented upon mis- wife's testimon.
and upon the conduct Of the prosecu
ton. The affidavits are signed b.

Justice Fitzgerald took the bench a

comm. ssion. Harry Thaw was nc
present.
All of Thaw's attorneys, includin
Delmas and Gleason, were In cou1
when Justice Fitzgerald announce
that he would be prepared to hear ev
dence. Delmas arose and said he ha
not been served with copies of the a
fidayits prepared under the directio
of the district attorney until 1918 t.
day. In a matter of so much impo
lance as the present proceedings b
thought the defense should have MOI
time to prepare an answer. Jerom

Abba, March 81. Two runaways

excitement to the number Of
people who witnessed them. The
