NO OCCASION FOR WAR TALK.
japanese Admrals Declare It Is All
Newspaper Copy.

New York.-Two distinguished Jap
lnese took occasion to declare in no
uncertain trims that there were no I'M
friendly issues between the United
States and Japan, and to decry the I'M
lue importance attributed by some to
trivial incidents.
The champions of peace and friend
ship between the two countries were
Admiral Baron Yamamoto, a guest of
he city, and Viscount Aoli, Japanese
ambassador, who came from Washing
on to attend the luncheon given by
The Japanese society of America in
honor of Admiral Yamamoto.
In the course of formal statement
Ambassador Aoki said
There exists between the two gov
arnments no difference or i'll feeling 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 act
lal existence of any difficulty between
The two countries, but because of the
Iiemagogic influence of some unwar-
ranted press talk that often tends
10 drive even the calmest temper of
The public into whirl of tempestuous
rage"
! At the luncheon at the Hotel Aston.
Admiral Yamamoto spoke in a similar
strain, saying:
| 1T is now over fifty years since
America first opeded intercourse with
Japan and introduced us to the nations
Of the West. we all know what we owe
| TO the United States for the develop
ment of our industries and commerce,
and also for the education of a number
of our countrymen. We especially ap-
preciate the sympathy shown us by the
Americans during the late war.
I'VE have always been next door
neighbors with only an ocean between
us, but with the acquisition of the
philippines by America, which is quite
| close to our Formosa, our territories
became still nearer thus facilitating
even more intimate intercourse.
Our interests, commercial and
otherwise, are so intimately inter
woven, and the cordial relations be-
tween us for fifty years standing are
| Of SO firm a nature, that | can conf
IDENTIFY affirm that they will never be
destroyed by mere trifiing incidents.
1T is true that lately some dark
clouds did apear in one quarter of the
sky, but it is nothing but local squat
and does not in any way represent the
general state of the weather And
even this slight cloud will soon be dis
Ipersed.
I'VE are all aware of the high sense
of justice and humanity possessed by
| The Americans, the principles which
form the very foundations of the Re-
public"
| Rear Admiral Evens, commander of
the Atlantic fleet. said that when the
newspapers of this country stopped
making war between Japan and the
United States the people would come
to their senses and a better feeling
would exist all around

New Railroad Nearing Completion.

Denver.-'In three months we will
have in operation 700 miles of the
finest railroad system ever constructed
in this county, said Ed Dickinson.
formerly general manager of the Union
Pacific, but now with the Kansas City.
Mexico & Orient.
Dickinson rode into Denver in one Of
the finest private cars that has ever
leen handled by the local depot crew.
He is one of the best known railroad
men in the West and is especially pop.
ular with the employees of the Union
Pacific, who took advantage of the OPP
portunity to again meet their formcr
employer He has gone to Wagon
Wheel Gap, where he will spend a week
in fishing
Work on the new road is progress,
ing very rapidly" said Dickinson. We
expect to be operating 800 miles into
Mexico by December LIST and at that
time we will have a total of 1000 miles
il operation. We have four sections Of
road in operation at present in the
United States between Emporia, Kan
sas, and San Angelo, Texas. These ara
being connected and will all be in one
road by September 1st, when the en-.
lire 700 miles will be operated as one
system.
I'VE have made a sufficient showing
with the road to succeed in floating
$13,00O,0OO worth of bonds. The four
sections now in operation are earning
Il small margin over operating aX-
penses, taxes and interest, which we
consider a remarkable showing in view
Of the fact that the sections are not
connected and are not much more than
four separate small roads. The Union
Construction Company has taken all
of the $13,O0O,O bond issue and has
practically sold them all
Dickinson was asked in regard to the
connections of the Stillwell road, rs
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient is
known, with Colorado. He said that
every energy was now being directed
toward completing the main line from
Kansas City to the Pacific coast of
Mexico and that when this was finished
and in operation it would undoubtedly
be the policy of the company to build
intersecting roads in promising sec
lions. A right of way has been secured
from the main line to Pueblo under the
rame of separate corporation and
ii is the intention of the company some
Jay to build into Colorado.

FAMOUS SCOUT PASSES AWAY.
Frontiersman Jack Sumner Crosses
the Great Divide.

Denver.-John c. Sumner, famous
scout and frontiersman of Colorado's
early days, died at vernal. Utah. July
5th. His remains were brought to
Denver for burial. Interment took
place at Riverside cemetery, where he
is buried by his mothers side.
The life of Jack Sumner. as he was
always called, reads like that Of Il
dime novel hero. Soldier. Indian
fighter, scout, trapper and pioneer, he
passed unframed through the many
dangers of the wild days and always
came out on top.
Sumner was born in Illinois In 1910
and went to Iowa with his parents
when but an infant. Here he grew up
leading an outdoor existence.
He served through the Civil War as
scout and sharpshooter and became
noted for his daring.
He came first to Colorado with the
Bayard Taylor party and decided 10
stay, as the new country offered him
the wild, outdoor life which he loved.
He settled at Hot Sulphur Springs
and traded with the Indians when not
lighting them.
At one time when his cabin was
filled with a band of raging redskins
thirsting for his blood he drew his re-
volyer and, pointing It at key of pow
der, threatened to blow them into
Kingdom come" unless they departed
The Indians departed.
Sumner led the first government en-
petition through the Colorado river
canon and by his steady nerve and
good Judgment kept the entire party
from going down to death many time
during the journey

Cost of Feeding ParoIed convicts.

Paroled and discharged convicts
from the Colorado Penitentiary are
cared for and secured positions at the
rate of $23 each, according to the re-
port of w. E. Collett in his second
quarterly report of the Colorado Prison
Association. This is only one-third the
cost which the Kansas Society for the
Friendless, an organization twice as
old as the Colorado association, has
to expend to care for released con-
victs.
1t is recommended in the report that
r. A. Hoffman, district secretary
should be made field secretary, as he
does work all over Colorado. The APP
pointment of a special committee at
the next meeting of the association, to
confer with the governor in regard TO
the appointment of the board which
is to enforce the new prison law,
should be made Immediately as the
law goes into effect very shortly.
Since the organization of the soci-
ETY., three and a half years ago, 447
prisoners have been cared for at a
cost of $10,3O2.G9. The Kansas soci-
ETY., in it's first year after branching
out to Colorado, averaged STA pris-
oner in 1904 and sos prisoner in
1906. Forty-seven cases were aided
this quarter and JOG for the half year.
or as many as were assisted during
1905, and one more than were cared
for by the Kansas society last year.
Collections for the half year were ST.,
