EMPEROR NOT
A PRISONER
PRoTEcToRATE UNCHANGED IN
KOREA, SAILS MARQUIS ITO.

Seoul, July 11.-(via Toxic, July 12.)
The declaration of the Korean del
egation at The Hague, as published
in the Courier de la Conference, to
the effect that the emperor Of Korea
is a prisoner here and the imputation
that the emperor is helplessly in the
hands of the Japanese, is denounced
by Marquis Ito as a gross misrepre-
sentation of facts.
Marquis Ito regards the personal
liberty of the emperor to be unchanged
by the protectorate, the emperor be-
ing free to go and come and to see
whom he likes. His manner Of life
remains unchanged. Foreigners here
have until now not regarded the en-
peror as a prisoner. Marquis Ito's
reform of the Korean court, or six
colored court publication, excluded a
class of intriguers heretofore guiding
the emperor, but does not interfere
with the emperor's movements, com
munication or access to ministers and
others who have legitimate business,
and many suspected intriguers are ad-
mitted to him.

New York, July 1.-Two distin-

Baron Yamamoto, guest Of the city,
and Viscount Aoki, the Japanese am
bassador, who came from Washington
this morning to attend the reception
and luncheon given by the japanese
Society of America in honor of Ad-
miral Yamamoto. In the course Of a
formal statement Ambassador Aoki
said:
There exists between the two gov
ernments no difficulty or illfeeling OF
whatever sort. There is not the slight
est cause for anxiety in the American
Japanese relations and if there is any
anxiety it is not because of the ac-
tual existence of any difficulty be
tween the two countries, but because
of the influence of some unwarranted
press talk that often tends to drive
even the calmest temper of the pub.

Speaking at the luncheon at the
Hotel Astor, Admiral Yamamoto spoke
in similar strain.
Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, com.
manding the Atlantic fleet, said that
when the newspapers of the country
stopped making war between Japan
and the United States, the people
would come to their senses and bet
ter feeling would exist.
During the day the Japanese admiral
and his retinue visited the navy yard.
They spent some time inspecting the
different buildings and Admiral Ev-

Unconscious Condition.

p. H. Cadell, a telegrapher who ias

Unconscious early last evening In
room Of the Southern hotel by the
police and died at 11:25 last night
from a broken skull and bruises which

Cadell was found lying fully dressed
in the room. His eyes were set and
his scalp laid open for several inches,
exposing a fracture in the skull. The
wound on the head looked as though
1t had been made with a club or some
blunt instrument. He was terribly
beaten. His face and body were a
mass OF bruises. Blood and dirs dried
and clotted in the wounds showed that
the crime was committed several
hours before the injured man was
found and it is believed it was com,
mitted some time Wednesd " night.
There was not the slightest clue
to his assailants. The Chinese pro

Miss Helen d. Grenfell, high school
visitor, state college of agriculture of
Denver, Colo, concluded the program
with the address upon "The Influence
of Women's Organizations Upon Pub
lie Education"
Address by Mrs. GrenfeiI.
Helen L. Grenfell, former state
superintendent of public instruction in
Colorado and now visitor of the
Colorado State Agricultural college,
spoke on 'sThe Influence of Woman's
Organization on Education" She
said in part:
The early idea of education did
not include women. Popular educa-
ton dawned with Luther and the be-
ginning Of female education with the
reading of the bible in the homes.
The first girls high school was
opened in Boston in 1895, but closed
two years later because too alarm
ingly popular" The reception of the
first women's clubs, the New Eng
land and the 'Sorosis,' in 1868, was
equally critical. The foreboding as
to results both Of education Of girls
and Of organization for women has
proved groundless. We are outgrow.
ing the primitive idea OF women,s
place in the universe and in educa-
tion. If she cannot evolve the thing
She may environ it, and thus save
force. Men are doing the material
work of the world. Women are freer
to devote their energies to education.
The states with highest educational
facilities are those where women are
most active. Illiteracy is largest
where women have least power and
grows where they vote. Half a mil
lion of Americas children are litter
ate and two million are earning their
living.
