MICH INK BEING WASTED

Major General Jesse NJ. Lee, U. S. A,
retired, who returned from the Philip
pines on the army transport Thomas
yesterday, does not believe that there
will be any war with Japan. He says
that Japan is not prepared for war and
declares that foreigners are the only
ones in the Orient who are indulging in
war talk.
In all Japan, however" he says,
there is not half the war talk that
find in any one recent edition of almost
any American newspaper. The only
war we will see for the time being is
the bombarding with printers ink OF
the straw men built by the American
newspapers"
The general is pleased with condi-
tions in the Philippines, where, he says
1000 troops, constantly under arms. are
gradually pacifying the disaffected
districts.
After a visit to friends in Indiana
and a short stay in Washington, Gen
eral Lee expects ito return to Califor-
MIA to make his home. He was accom-
panied from the islands by his wife.

financial transaction whereby Will
liam H Crocker and associates have
taken over large block of stock of
the Savings and Loan Society was con-
summated yesterday. This is the old
est savings bank in San Francisco. It's
charter will expire some time in July.
1t has a capital stock of 1000, 900, and
its surplus and undivided profits are in
the neighborhood of s350,000. 1t was
originally incorporated by E. w. Burr,
John Archibald Albert Miller, Charles
Pace, James de Fremery and William
H Herrick, all of whom are dead.
The building first occupied by this in
stitution was on Clay street near kear-
ny, and the institution saw San Fran
cisco wade out into the bay, and saw
dry land where water was The sand
hills of Market, Mission and Ninth
streets were dumped into the bay and
what was then the water front became
a place for street cars instead of boats.
The institution, in which Crocker and
associates have interested themselves,
has been an important factor in coast
finance since the time of 1857, when
money was worth from " to rs per
cent per month, and when banks paid
IS per cent per annum to their depos-
itors.
The bank has always been prosper
Gus concern, and the new blood infused
will add to its prosperity and popularity
There will be no radical change In the
management. 1t is understood, how
ever, that some of the investors, who
have purchased the stock, will go on
the board of directors. The names of
some of those associated with Crocker
are f j. Carolan, G. D. Greenwood, G..
H Umbsen, f. w. Bradley and others.
The present directors of the bank are
Arthur A Smith, president; Horace
Davis, vice president; Charles r.
Bishop. George E. Goodman, A. N.
Drown, E. c. Burr, Willis c. Davis and
W. B. Dunning.
The institution was the first bank
that ever incorporated in the State OF
California under the name Savings and
Loan Society,"" and since then the title
has been grated into several other in
stiutions, not only here but in the
East.
A matter of interest, as pointed out
yesterday by Attorney A. N. Drown,
who negotiated the deal. is that after
fifty years of continuous financial life
and growth in San Francisco, after a
half century of close Identification with
the city's welfare, the Savings and
Loan Society starts on its second lease
of profitable existence and is about to
witness a second building of a great
city.

CONGRESS To PASS
AMENDMENT
By Ira E. Bennett

WASHINGTON, Feb. I3.-Rapid
progress toward thS>settlement of the
differences between the United States
and Japan and between the President
and the San Francisco school authori-
ties was made today. The proposed
solution is in the form of an amend
ment to the immigration bill pending
in Congress and the execution of the
agreement depends, of course, upon
the favorable action of Congress.
The amendment in question was
written by Secretary Root and accepted
by the conferees on the immigration
bin, who reported the measure TO the
two houses. This amendment reads:
That whenever the President shall be satisfied
that passports issued by any foreign govern
u1ent TO its citizens TO 90 10 any country other
than the United States 10 any insular posses
sion Of the United States 10 the canal zone.
are being used for the purpose OF enabling the
holders TO come 10 the continental territory Of
the United States TO the detriment Of labor con-
ditions therein. the President may refuse 10
permit such citizens OF the country issuing such
passports TO enter the continental territory OF
The United States from such other country OF

Corporations. Not Stockholders.

BOSTON, September 12.-Charles S. Mel
len president of the New York. New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad, who recently
alarmed New England by proposing TO alb
sorb the Boston and Maine railroad. created
somewhat of a surprise by appearing at the
state house yesterday before the special
legislative committee on taxation and aG-
vocating the direct taxation of corpora tons
instead OF the individual stock and bond
holders, as is done at present under the law
of Massachusetts.
Others who appeared as representatives
of the great corporate interests in gas
street railway and other companies strongly
opposed Mr.. Mellen's plan. Mr.. Mellen
based his advocacy on the belief that the
corporation could easily he reached, while
the individual stock and bond holders were
very often non-residents of the state and
could not be located for the purpose OF tax
etien.

Mrs. Besant is on her way to Chicago TO
attend a convention of the Philosophical
Society, opening there next Sunday. She
was accompanied by Mrs. Marie Bernard
Russak. daughter Of the late Judge Der.

there Is no question whatever Of the trans
migration of souls.
II am positive of it," she said that
cannot understand why any one should
doubt 1t. | don't say that l believe that
l was child. l know l was a child. The
transmission of the soul to the human
body was marked in my own case that
have every necessary evidence that I
was a number of former persons in the

DO you care to say, who you were in
your former existences?"
II prefer not to, for the reason of assoc
citation. I know that all minds are gov
erned by wave materialism, in degree COM
mensurate with the amount of effort one
makes in trying to believe the theory.
know that 1t is possible for one person to
communicate by thought waves with an
other person who may be miles away. The
soul is something like electricity. 1t is not
electricity exactly. 1t is finer than cleo
