Words of Japanese Naval officers Who

Speaking of the American-Japanese
question:. the japanese officers said they
did not believe that a series misunder-
standing was possible. The japanese
wished to maintain good relations with
the Americans and, pointing to their
swords, the officers added:

them for offense, but only for the de-
Tense of our country from attack. In

Mr.. INQUIRIES STRUCTURE
AS TO FOOD INSPECTION.
Newark Health Board Complimented by
State officials for Good Work, Says
Health officer Chandler.

George w. Mcclure. chief food and drug
Inspector of the State Board of Health, is
credited with having said that Jerseymen
will not get health conditions in the best
possible shape until the local boards of
health more clearly see their duty in the
matter of milk and slaughter-house inspec-
ton. He laid special stress on the fact
that the only remedy for meat inspection
was to establish municipal slaughter-houses
and that the only way that 1t was to be
accomplished was by agitation of the mat
ter by local boards. He went on to say
that the government Inspection was all
right In its way, all the diseased cattle be-
ing rejected where there was inspection,
but raised the question as to what was
done with the rejected cattle and expressed
the belief that they were slaughtered In
houses where there was no inspection, the
killers1dresslng the meat skilfully and dis
carding the part infected by the disease.
In referring to milk, Mr.. Mcclure
stated that it was hard to trace conta-
gious disease. especially typhoid fever,
and that the great danger was in allowing
the milk bottles taken from the sick rooms
to be mixed with other bottles and then
refilled on the street.
When seen this morning Health Officer
David II. Chandler, of the local Board of
Health, stated that the report did not, in
his opinion, affect the local Board. as the
described by Mr.. Mcclure did
exist here, except as to government
inspection, and that the local Board had
gone ON record long ago in favor Of the
local inspection of slaughter houses.
The State Board has in the past COM
plimented the local body, especially in re-
gard to the manner In which the milk
question was handled, and. in view of this
fact, and that the State Board has, as a
whole. endorsed and complimented the
local body on its good work In all de-
partments, the statements of the chief in
spector are not thought to apply to this

however, that Ambassador Aoki will be
firm enough to make the Washingto-

A recent dispatch from washington
said hat the Japanese of the Pacific
Coast had allied themselves with the
P-rogressives in Japan for the purpose
of overthrowing the government. Thu

was added, would be to induce the

More About Orchard, the
Most Noted Criminal Of
the Age, According to his
own Confession.

Meyer and Haywood, the latter
of whom is now on trial at Boise
City, Idaho, it is certain that
their alleged accomplice, self-con.
fessed dynamiter, and multi.
murderer, Harry Orchard, must
rank as one of the most remark
able criminals of the country
and of the time. That a man
could boldly and calmly narrate
the enaction of such deeds as he
is credited with confessing on
the witness stand, almost surpass-
es belief. The account reads like
t he work OF some noted fictionist,
some genius of the first water
who has by years of reading
medieval annals accustomed his
mind TO deal with criminals and
crimes.
In the two days he has been
on the witness stand Orchard

ted Press gone through "the

came to the United States in
