HIS TRIBUTE ID AMERICA
Japanese Stateman's Views on Pre- vailing Reports Regarding Re-
 lations With This Country.
HE REFLECTS MINISTERIAL SENTIMENT
Mikados Ambassador to Hague Con. ference Declares the United States Is Last Country Japan Would Seek Any Trouble WNh-Grateful for Americas Help.

New York, July 12.-Keiroku Tzu- zuki a Japanese statesman of cabinet rank and ambassador plenipotentiary of his country to The Hague confer ence, is quoted at length in the Her aid Thursday in a special cable dis patch, on the prevailing reports re- garding the relations of Japan and the United States. MT. Tzuzuki. ac- cording to the Heralds Hague cor respondent. has the fullest conf dence of his government and what he says may be taken as reflecting intelligent Japanese sentiment. In beginning his statement, Mir. Tzuzuki said there must be a great misunder- standing somewhere.
 "Of all the countries in the world, he said, "the United States is the very last Japan seeks any trouble with. Japan is very young nation among the family of nations. Young nations, like ourselves. are full of sensibility and deeply sensible as to LnOSS WHO HtNG Utth OQt itAthdo III our struggles and to those who have been our enemies. Now of all, our best friend has been the United United States. That she was the one power that gratutiously returned to us her share of the Simeonosald in demnity is known and impressed up en every school boy in Japan.
 'We remember with gratitude that America was the first country to rec ognize our claims to extra territorial ity.
 We remember that during the last war, when We were engaged in a Titanic and supreme struggle, the en- tire sympathy of the United States vas with us. That left a deep im- pression upon us, as America will find in the future
 "The understanding between our respecive governments is perfect. So 1t is, I most firmly believe. between intelligent people in bo.h countries" !"
 In reply to question regarding the sending of an American fleet to the Pacific, Mir. Tzuzuh said:
 T say without hesitation that Jap an would look upon the cruise with the idea that no better time than the present could be chosen, just when the two governments are in most perfect accord"
 Admiral Shimamura, who was with the ambassador when the statement was made, the correspondent says, coincid sd with Mr TzuzuN's views.

WOMEN INMATES OF JAIL.
Dealt With Tactfully, They Are Nos
 Particularly Unruly.

PartfcusdFfy OUbfys
 Women in prison are often restless and excitable and their charge IS lar from an easy one to those to whom the duty is confided New rules and different treatment have brought about a great improvement in these re- spects. and an infraction of prison disciples is now infinitely more rare than 1t was 30 years ago.
 It is. to be sure, a recognized fact that the women give more trouble than the men, yet under wise and efficacious system they can be just as easily disciplined. The means em ployed are of necessity different, but the same general principles determine the control of both sexes.
 It is a fallacy to suppose that wom- en cannot be subjected to order and discipline. On the contrary, they fall into habits of cleanliness and neatness much more rapidly than do the men, and by tact and patience they can be induced to conform to prodent and wholesome regulations. There are al- ways. of course, certain 'irreconcil- ables," who rebel against control or any kind. Much of the deliberate misbehavior of such prisoners pro ceeds from the vanity and the desire to win notoriety. Even in the motley company that assemblies in prison yard they want to pose as "heroines.

HYMN QUzETS
CHURCH PANIC
SMOKE STARTS A RUSH FOR
SAFETY
"Nearer, My God, to Thee" 5rings
caImness to Congregation at the
First Methodist Church.
Cause Mystery

The odor of smoke threw 1900 people into
panic last night at the First Methodist
church Before a score had reached the
doors in rush for safety the choir took
up Nearer, My God, to Thee" echoed by
the cooler-headed among the congrega,
tom AS the frightened ones scrambled
for the exits the influence of the hymn
brought them confidence, and, forgetting
their fears, many resumed their seats. A
number refused to return.
The auditorium was crowded to over
flowing The deaconesses appointed at
the Methodist conference during the day
had Just been consecrated, and DR.. Ma
hood had hardly begun his sermon when
the smoke was noticed.
1t seemed to be discovered In half
dozen places simultaneously. There was
nervous rustic, followed for an instant
by absolute silence. A figure in the back
of the church darted toward the vestibule,
and a moment later the aisles were
jammed.
Had there been cry of fire the result
would have been serious. Hindered by
their numbers, the safety-seekers hur-
ried, crowded, pushed. But one cry OF
alarm would have turned the procession
into stampede.
And then the notes of the hymn drowned
the noise of the shutting feet and the
whispered inquiries. The stream Stacked
hesitated, thinned out, and turned. But
a handful pursued their course.
The cause of the smoke is a mystery.
1t is believed that it came from the out
side.

prison here today resulted in the death OF
two former army officers and free street
rioting. The two officers. who were ap-
pointments of so-called regicide regi-

Illegal obstacles put in the way of bring
ing their cases to a trial the two prison
ers, while exercising in the corridor,
wrested guns from the prison guards and

from the windows into the street. The
commandant of the prison ordered the
guards to seize them and desperate fight

that the two officers were strangled by
the guards, who then emptied their re-
vovers into the :. lifeless bodies of the
men. Meantime angry crowds gathered
about the prison, denoumcing the regicide
government. Later in the day there was
further revolving in whicl. an officer and
gendarme were wounded. Armed pa
trols are still engaged this evening in
clearing the streets of the rioters.
