is NOT IN FIGHTING MOOD
JAPAN WOULD WELCOME ALI
ANcE WITH UNITED STATES.
Baron Ozawa, Special Representative
of the Mikado, Voices That SEN
tlnent in an interview.

New York, May 15.-"Japan has
looked earnestly for an alliance with
the United States, because IN sub
stance we have always regarded this
country as real ally of Japan. We
are desirous of having such an alli-
ance ii 1t could be arranged. AS long
though, as any misunderstanding like
the anti-Japanese feeling in San Fran
cisco exists it might not be possible
to bring about an alliance"
Thus spoke Baron Ozawa, member
of the house of peers and special rep
resentatiye of the emperor in an inter-
view Tuesday night. The baron, who
is the vice president of the Japanese
Red CROSS society, was commissioned
by his majesty to ascertain the ex-
istence of anti-Japanese feeling in this
country and to express the thanks of
the emperor to those Americans who
aided tie Japanese during the severe
famine in Northeast Japan after the
war with Russia. The baron and his
party will visit President Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft in Washington
next week, and, after an inspection of
the Red Cross STATS in Philadelphia
will sail for England on May 25,
where they will attend the eighth In
ternational Red Cross conference in
London In June.
Baron Ozawa said that he would
report to the emperor that he found no
evidences of anti-Japanese feeling ex-
listing anywhere in the country out
side of San Francisco. He added that
the Americans with whom he talked
had assured him that the Japanese
were regarded as honest and intelli-
gent people, and that his countrymen
now residing in this country, with
whom he had talked, all told him that
they were being treated in cordial and
friendly manner by America.
Baron Ozawa said that Japan had
no dreams of further territorial ex-
pansion in the Pacific, and declared
that it was unnecessary for her to
acquire other possessions.
The baron said that Japan had no
single idea or thought that 1t would
advance at the coming meeting of the
peace tribunal at The Hague, and,
after moment OF reflection, added:
Japan does not regard the efforts
OF The Hague seriously. as the con
ferences are simply talks

FIGHT IN
Ohio IS TO DEATH
FORAKER OR TAFT MUST QUIT
Pu5LIc LIFE.
MEETINGS CALLED OFF
Gathering Of Republican State Central
Committee, to Have Been Held
To-day, Cancelled by Chair
man Brown.

Columbus, o., May 15.--For the
present, at least, the probability Of a
spectacular pitched battle between
the Taft and Foraker-Dick factions in
this state has passed. The fight is
still in progress, however, and the in
dications now are that 1t will termin-
ate only with the retirement from pub
lie life of either Senator Foraker or
Secretary Taft
Tuesday Chairman Walter F. Brown,
of the Republican state central com
mittee, called off the meeting of that
body which was to have been held
here to-day, by the dispatch of the
following telegram to all members of
the committee: Owing to indefinite
postponement of party conference by
senator, call for meeting state CEN
tral committee is hereby rescinded."
The decision to rescind the call was
reached by Chairman Walter F. Brown
at noon Tuesday, after a series of con-
ferences with prominent Republicans,
chief among whom were Gov. Harris
and Arthur |. Vorys, the manager Of
the Taft campaign. The opinion of
Chairman Brown was that inasmuch
as the committee meeting had been re-
quested by Senator Dick as an adjunct
to the general conference, and as the
larger meeting had been cancelled by
The parties who had advocated IL,
there was no especial need for the
state central committee to meet alone.
This decision was not entirely in
harmony with the opinions of many of
the Taft following in various parts of
the state, and throughout the morning
telephone and telegraph messages
poured in upon Chairman Brown and
Mr.. Vorys urging that the meeting
Of the committee be insisted upon.
Many of these dispatches urged the
Importance of a showdown among the
members of the committee, declaring
that the result would be that the ma
jority would be for Taft, and not with
the two senators as has been claimed.
Chairman Brown, however, decided
that no actual good would follow a
meeting of the committee at this time
and called the meeting of.
The Foraker people insist that a
meeting of the committee would show
that the party organization is still with
him and Senator Dick. To this the
Taft managers reply that Chairman
Brown came out in favor of an in
dorsement for Taft when he issued a
statement Monday night, declaring
that if the conference called by Sen.
ator Dick had been held it would be
yond any doubt have given a unan
imous Endorsement to Secretary Taft

IN FIGHT ON GREEN BUGS
KANSAS PROFESSOR DlSTRl-
BUTES PARASITE BEES.
Success Has Been Such That He Is
Unable to Forward All That
Are Asked For.

Lawrence, Kan. May 15.-Prof. s.
]. Hunter, of the chronological depart
ment of the Kansas state university,
who, for some time has been collect
ing and sending free to the farmers
of the southwest parasite bees to kill
the green bugs that destroy wheat,
has received a telegram from Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson at Wash
ington asking for particulars of his
work. Prof Hunter said he had dis.
tributed 1000 boxes containing the
parasites to Kansas farmers with uni
form good results, but that a larger
fund was needed to make the work
comprehensive and decisive.
Prof. Hunter said that he is still
unable to fill all orders for the bees,
but is sending out boxes as fast as
possible with the limited means at his
command. Whatever delay the farm
ers have in receiving the boxes has
been caused by a lack of funds to
push the work, which Is being done
gratis by Prof. Hunter and the stu,

versity.
A report received from Hutchinson
central Kansas, stated that the green
bugs have begun 10 attack the newly
sprouted corn.
Washington, May 15.--It was an,
nounced by the agricultural depart
ment Tuesday that the green bug. OF
spring grain aphis, which has done sc
much damage to wheat and other
small grains in Pexas. Oklahoma and
in few of the southern counties oi
Kansas, already is practically exter
minated by its natural parasite, 9
very minute black fly. In Texas and
Oklahoma the bug practically has dis
appeared through the action of the
parasite and report from southern
Kansas received by the department
Tuesday stated that at least so pei
cent. of the bugs now are parasitizeC
in all the infested fields in that sec
ton, The report adds that If the ia
vorable weather continues through the
present week the bug viii have beer
absolutely exterminated.
Millions of parasites" continues
the report, "are coming out in every
wheat field, and the green bug hal

little. II any. fear of further damage.

FlREMEN IN BRAVE FIGHT.
Many Hurt In Subduing Fierce Blaze
In New York.

New York, May 15.-Sixty firemen,
practically every man in seven fire
companies, were overcome by smoke
in fighting a fire in the Remington
typewriter building at 325 Broadway
Tuesday. More than a score of the
men were taken to hospitals, where 16
of them remain.
Il was one of the hardest fights New
York flremen have had and never was
there more bravery shown. The fire
was in the sub-basement of the build.
ing, and for more than two years the
men fought desperately. But for the
heroism shown many would have lost
their lives.
Scores of the firemen were over
come time and again, each one rush
ing back into the building as soon as
he recovered consciousness. Nothing
could stop them until hospital doctors
bundled them into ambulances and
hurried them away to the hospitals
Among those in the hospitals several
are in serious condition. although il
is thought all will recover.
The streams from the hose lines
could not reach the fires directly, and
it was no. until the sub-basement
was practically full of water that the
fire was controlled. Broadway was
blocked for hours by a tremendous
crowd of onlookers

DECISION FAVORS SHIPPERS
RULING or INTERSTATE CON-
MERGE COMMISSION.
Must Be Given the Benefit of Lowest
of Two Rates Between the Same
Point-Case in Question.

Washington, May ia decision
rendered by the interstate commerce
commission is of notable Importance,
because in it the. commission holds
that where two rates between the
same point are in force, the shipper
must be given the benefit of the lower.
The case was that of the American
Grass Twine company against the Chi.
cago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha
Railroad company, the Mutual Transit
company, the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad company and
the Boston & Maine railroad. The
evidence disclosed that the complain
ant made a shipment Of grass twine
mating and rugs from st. Paul, Mimi,
to Boston via Duluth over these car
riers' lines. upon which It was charg'
ed a rate of So cents per 100 pounds;
this rate was q combination of rail
rate of 23 cents to Duluth plus lake
and rail rate Of 80 cents from Duluth
to Boston. At the date of the ship
ment lake and rail joint through rates
via Duluth were not effective, but a
rate via lake Michigan ports Of 45
cents per 100 pounds and an all rail
Joint through rate of 10 cents We're in
force. The commission holds that un'
der the special and peculiar circum'
stances disclosed upon the record the
62-cent rate ON such shipment was
unreasonable ard that the Ascent rate
In effect from st. Paul TO Boston via
Lake Michigan ports at the time OF
the shipment affords reasonable
basis for fixing the rate for the service
rendered at the same amount.
The complainant is awarded repara'
tion for the difference between the 62'
cent and the Ascent rates on les ship
ments, 60 be paid by Chicago, st
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railway
company and the Mutual Transit com
pany as having received the whole OF
such difference. AS to the other de
PENDANTS the complaint Is dismissed

SHEETS ARE MISSING
TORN FROM LEDGER, MAKING
SCANDAL AT DUBUQUE
WORSE AND WORSE.
scripps-McRae Telegram.


Dubuque, Ia. May Is. Investigation
Of the Macarthur water works scandal
today revealed that five sheets are
missing from The S6nsumers% ledger
including the page containing the ac
count of Jonn Ellwanger. formerly
president of the board of trustees. In
view of the fact that C'ae other miss
ing sheet contains the Great Western
railways account, which should con
tain $1,000 in credits in five months
with no record on the cash book,
makes the affair look suspicious. The
public is asking embarrassing ques
tions az to Ellwa1ger's connection.
Ellwanger, who Is president of tne
wholesale liquor company bearing ais
name, has a statewide reputation for
honesty, however. and it is unlikely
that anything rejecting on him will
be established.

Forecast OF Report of Investigation Is Made
- Public This Afternoon.
TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
MEMBERS OF COMMISSION ARE
ASTouNDED BY PREMATURE
PUBLICATION.
scrinps.McRae Telegram.

New York, May 15.-The Evening
Telegram today publishes what it says
is an abstract of the findings OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission con
corning the investigation of the Har-
riman lines of roads. The Telegram
calls the report the most sensational
document ever issued. 1t states thas
the commission has found that rail.
road competition has been choked Off
entirely in an area equal to one-third
of the United States, and that in this
area Hartman is the absolute master.
II also finds that Harriman's contracts
with the Rock Island, the Southern Pa
cific, the Santa Fe, the Illinois Central
and the San Pedro roads violate the
antitrust acts, ana it recommends that
the attorney general proceed against
them. 1t also holds that the purchase
of shares of one road by another is n
bad practice, and should be stopped.
1t finds that the profits of the great
roads of the west are being used to
buy stock in and control the systems
of the east, instead of developing the
west. The report calls Harriman's re-
organization of the Chicago & Alton
road "one of the most remarkable
cases of manipulation of stock AMI
watering ever known" 1t demands
laws to prevent repetition of like
deals. The report concludes with the
otnfpmant fhot IIat.rio,oT op t;,a oSef,
lutte master of the Illinois Central, is
so powerful in Santa Fe that he can
prevent competition of these roads.
The combination of the U,lion Pacific
and Southern Pacific is also so power
ful that il suppreJses all competition,
and has prevented the building of the
San Pedro road to Los Angeles. Tne
government may institute great suits
upon the report to dissolve the merg-
er of the Unioa Pacific and Southern
Pacific, ana otner suits upon the ma.
nipulation of western roads.
Commissioners Are Surprised.
Washington, ID. c., May 15.-lt was
stated today at the Office of the inter.
state commerce commission that it
had not yet acted upon the recon,
mendations made to the commission IN
the report of Attorney Kellogg, ex-
tracts of which we're published in New
York today. The attorney had copies
printed for the private perusal of the
commissioners, and it was supposed
took every safeguard against publica,
tion.
Oil Masnate Must Answer.
