MORE AGITATION IN JAPAN
Politicians stu Using Frisco Incl
dent as Weapon to Attack
Ministry.

TOXIC. June A-Public excitement
over the American question has almost
passed away but the agitation is still
going on. 1t is mostly the work of poll
ticians of the opposition who are employ
ing the question as a weapon OF attack
upon the ministry.
The progressives and coterie of poll
ticians called the Daido club will likely
join hands in a combination attack on the
ministry over the American question,
their principal aim being to thereby
strengthen their respective positions in
the coming election of local assemblies
and also in the general election of next
ear. Their principal watchword is the
diplomatic impotency of the Sainoji cabi-
net, which has resulted, they say. in
suffering to compatriots in America and
in inability to receive treatment worthy
the subiects of a first-class power.
It is difficult to foretell how far they
can succeed in stirring the public but
whatever attempts are made In the way
of agitation, actual hostilities with the
United States are not even dreamed OF.
The war talk in some of the American
press 10 totally ignored here.

MURDER TRIAL AT BRUSSELS
Carlos WaddInEton Goes Before Court
on Charge of killing senior
BRlmaceda,

BRUSSELS, June 24.-The trial Of Carlos
Waddington, 16-year-old son of Senior Luis
waddington. former charge d'affaires Of
Chilli at Brussels, on the charge Of muir
dering Senior Balmaceda, secretary of the
Chilan legation, February "a last. opened
this morning. The court was crowded with
society people and diplomats.
Balmaceda was engaged to be married to
the daughter Of Senior waddlngton. The
murder was committed on the evening Of
the official engagement dinner. A few days
before the tragedy Balmaceda requested
the waddlngtons 60 postpone the wedding
ceremony. and on the morning of February
"a he called upon Mrs. waddington and an
nouced his declaration to withdraw from
the marriage altogether. He admitted, 1t is
charged, that he had behaved improperly
towards Miss Waddington, but accused the
young woman Of having misbehaved before
he met her. Later when young Carlos
waddington found his mother prostrated as
result Of the interview with Balmaceda
he drove TO the home of the latter, who
was his personal friend, and, after quar-
rel, shot and killed him.
The contention of the Balmaceda family
is that the waddingtons had tried to force
the marriage upon the young secretary Of
legation and that upon his refusal to marry
they resolved to get rid Of him. The Wad-
dingtons submit as justification for Carlos
act that Balmaceda had refused to redress
the wrong he had done Miss waddington.

WORKMAN KILLED IN DITCH
Fred Carlson EntOmbed and Body
Recovered After Hard Work
by Companion.

Fred Carlson Of Twenty and
Pierce streets was killed Monday afternoon
about 2:8O, by the caving in of a sewer
ditch in which he was digging. The ditch
was in tho rear of 602 South Sixteenth
street It was being dug In n corner be-
tween two old buildings, where the dirt
had been filed in and was very loose.
His companions, Peter Rasmussen OF 4T9
South Fifty-1rst street, and Peter Jorgen-
sen, the gang foreman, we're working some
distance away. At 2:20, when the cavern
occurred, It was seen by George Giwits, a
boy living near, who ran TO an excavation
on sixteenth street where Gus Carlson was
working and called for help. Carlson ran
to the hole and began digging for the
buried man, but was himself caught up
to the hips in the second cave-in. Laborers
were called in from the street and for
three hours a force of men worked steadily.
AS fast as the hole was enlarged It caved
in afresh and the dggers were compelled
to go slowly to avoid striking the buried
man with their shovels. Coroner Bradley
was on the scene when the body was
finally taken out at $50 and took charge
OF It. The hole was twelve feet deep.
Joseph Jensen, the contractor, and N. j.
Gold, laborer OF 1882 Capitol avenue, werc
digging at the bottom when the body was
found.
Carlson was married but had no chill
dren He was working for Peter u. Her,
who owns the property on which the ac-
cident occurred

Interurban Mileage Books.

BOONE, Ia, June A.-(Special)-It IL
stated that the interurban railway COM
panies Of Iowa have practically perfected
an agreement TO issue interchangeable
mileage books good on all electric lines in
the state. The details Of the agreement
have not been announced but It Is under
stood that an organization will be con-
Quoted the same as the Western Passen-
ger association which acted as a clearing
house for the interchangeable credentiai
books that have been issued for years by
western roads. The object OF the move-
ment Is said TO be 20 advertise electric
lines in various parts OF the state and
also to promote business. Travelling men
who cover tho entire state would thus be
enabled to buy new mileage book and
get a rate OF one and one-half cents per
mile over electric lines on many points
instead OF paying two cents on the steam
roads. There are several electric rail-
ways in operation now. Among them are
the Polk electric lines out Of Des Moines.

LEE eRIER FOUND GUILTY
Jury Returns verdict Against Former
Police Court clerk ON seven
Counts.

Lee Grier, former clerk OF police court
was found guilty by a jury in criminal
court yesterday afternoon on seven counts
charging misappropration OF fines and
court costs collected by him and not
turned into the city treasury. The jury
recommended leniency. The maximum pen
atty attached TO the offense is six months
In the county Jail and a fine Of tl,nO. At
torney John o. Yeiser announced he
would appeal the case to the supreme
court on the grounds the information did
not state a crime.
The jury went out a few minutes after
19 o'clock and returned with the verdict
at $3.50 Grier was remanded to the Gus
tody of the sheriff but was later released
on his old bond, which will be sufficient
until the motion for new trial is argued
Grier went on the witness stand in
his own behalf Monday morning
and offered as defense TO the
charge of misappropriation of funds as
police court clerk, testimony to the effect
he had never received the money for which
he had signed receipts and which he had not
turned In. He said 1t frequently happened
that circumstances surrounding a particu-
lar case would Justify his issuing a release
from Jail without actually receiving the
Issue n receipt upon guarantee from
some business man that the money would
be paid OF upon check. In many cases
the guarantee would not be made good or
the check would be turned down at the
bank. He said he turned over all the money
he actually received.
Much of Griers testimony on this point
was ruled out py the court after some
heated passages between the court and At
torney John o. Yelser for Grier.
II was not drunk the day l went TO sleep
in court" said Grier in answer to a ques-
tion from his attorney. II had had no
sleep three nights in succession, owing to
the worry OF this case. That day I went to
my sisters for lunch and came back ito
the court room and went to sleep from ex-
haustion."
Arguments in the case were very short
taking up less than an hour. Deputy County
| Attorney Magney opened and closed for the
state and John o. Yeiser made the plea for
the defense. The case went to the jury
shortly after noon.
