AOKI is STILL WITH US.
Recall of Jap Ambassador at Wash
ingtcn Seems to Have Been Only
Political Bluff.

A Washington dispatch says: The
formal announcement by Viscount
Hayashi, the Japanese minister for for
eign affairs, in Toxic dispatch, pub
lished Friday, that Ambassador Aoki
is to be retained at Washington IS re-
garded as clearly establishing the fact
that the present Japanese ministry,
headed by Saionji, has assured itself
of the support Of both the unionist and
conservative parties in its present at
titude toward America. For a time
there was some doubt in Washington,
even in the minds of the officials of
the Japanese embassy, as to the power
behind the demand of Count Okuma
for the substitution for Aoki a: Wash
ington of strong" man, by which
term it was understood he meant
Japanese committed N advance to the
policy of dema2ding from America full
rights CT ciIize. , of residents and
Aoki had reau early the impossi-
bility of securing all or these rights
at this time, because of the inability
CT the national government to dominar
state administration. He reports to his
own government to tha. effect with
the plain intimation that it was advis-
able to seek, instead of the unlimited
rights, only those that might reason
ably be expected to be conceded at
this time-an opportunist pol:cy-at
first caused disagreeable impression
in Japan. The successful outcome of
the recent war with the natural infla-
tion of Japanese pride, tended to
make the ambassadors policy Of
doubtful popularity.
/. is quite certain that the SaioEji
ministry was fer a time somewhat
taken aback a. the ebullition Of pcpu-
lar Indignation evidenced in the publ
cation in opposition in the news
papers in Japan, and it even is sur
missed that there was slight weak
enlng and a disposition 20 make some
concessions. But soon after the agi-
tation had reached it's height, the jap
anese business interests began to feel
a very strong pressure from abroad,
conveying clear warning that quar-
rel with America would leave Japan
friendless and certainly would discour-
age the investmsn: Of foreign capital
in japan enterprises.
With this favorable influence, the
Saionji ministry found little difficulty
in securing the adhesion of the two
great parties in Japan to its policy,
and the announcement made from To
klo, through the Associated Press
representative to Ambassador Aoki's
tenure is regarded as convincing evi-
dcnce that Count Okumas onslaught
has failed and that the settled policy
Of Japan from now on will be to DIS
countenarce lingo agitation as d.
rected against America, and TO endeav.
or to strengthen the friendly relations
between the two countries.

A MEANINGLESS MANIFESTO.

Issued by National Socialists and Cir.
cuIated in st. Petersburg.
A separate manifesto was issued
at st. Petersburg Friday night by the
National Socialists and circulated in
the city. 1t is a colorless document
of a thousand words, describing the
dumas relations with the government.
It's most effective phrase characterizes
the session Of the duma as "a hundred
days of captivity" This document
closes with the adage that every ma
ton deserves the kind of government
it tolerates, but does not make any
definite imperative recommendation.

COTTON SEED OIL TO TURKEY.

Restrictions Removed in Ottoman Enc
pire on Great Southern Product.
Hon. Elihu Root, secretary OF state
at Washington, has written to L. A.
Ransom, president of the Interstate
Cotton Seed Crushers' Association.
calling his attention to the fact that
the restrictions recently placed upon
the shipment of cotton seed OIL into.

ed. This meaIA that the empire Of.
Turkey is now open to this commodity,
and Ambassador Leishman has writ
ten fl.om Constantinople suggesting
that competent exper:: be sent to-.
canvass Turkey as a market. S.
The fact that the country is Moham-

lard as cooking product, makes
cotton seed oil all the more desirable.

in receipt of a dispatch from Ambas-i
sador Leishman of Constantinople,
dated the oath ultimo, in which he
suggests that your attention be called
to the favorable opportunities present;
ed in Turkey for greatly increased
consumption Of that important product
of our southern states, and the adyan-
tages to be derived from a thorough
canvass of that field by the American
interests concerned. The ambassador
writes on the subject as follows:
Turkey presents a double POSSE.
biIty for the use OF cotton seed Gill
in being both an olive producing coun-
try and a Mohammedan nation, With
whom the use Of lard in cooking is
forbidden. At the present time there
appears to be some prejudice against
the employment Of this product. IS
recently heard that the natives of one
Of the islands Of the archipelago had;
threatened to cut down their olive:
trees in case cotton seed Gil should
be admitted, without realizing its util-
ity to them as wholesale adulterant,
in the same way as the indian olive.
growers have done. In order to correct
such misapprehension and to spread
general knowledge of the advantages
Of this peculiarly American product
as a cheap substitute for oil and but

NEW YORK.

Trade, crop and industrial reports are
rather more irregular. Interest as to dis
tributive trade has now largely passed
from the wholesale and jobbing branches
TO retail trade, the development and pro-
portions of which will be closely scrutin-
lied from now on. So far the reports as
to this line are conflicting, being best in
parts of the Northwest, Southwest and
South, and relatively slackest at the East,
which needs sharp, cold weather for best
activities. Jobbing business is fair as a
whole, it being noted that house trade is
very quiet, while filling-in orders vary
with sections reporting. The money
stringency is an additional feature which
attracts attention, affecting as it does the
item of collections on past transactions.
As to this item of collections, too, it may
be said that holding of crops has been a
subject of complaint from several points.

The American Tobacco Company has
filed its answer in the suit begun by the
United States Government last July. The
answer of the trust and of the co-defend-
ants, including Thomas f. Ryan, James
3. Duke, Oliver III. Payne and Anthony
n. Brady, directors, is that while the
trust has combined many companies and
interests into one it has no power TO con-
troll the industry in which it engages.
The trust holds that so long as brands Of
cigars remain in existence competition
cannot be destroyed, because it is strug-
gle between brands, and not between fac
tories. 1t holds that brands have their
strength in the fact that tobacco is lux
ury, the consumer desiring only that his
taste shall be satisfied. The trust denies
that the United Cigar Stores Company,
which aims to monopolize the retail trade,
was started by the American Tobacco
Company. 1t credits this vast retail
business to George j. Whalen and asso-
ciates, and says that they entered the
field in spite of the opposition of the
trust. 1t is admitted that now the trust
owns 100000 out of 100000 worth of
stoclI in the United Cigar Stores Com
pany.

NEGRO ABDUCTs GIRL.
~~N~~~<N'

Cab Driver Drives Society Leader
Into Country as Escort Shoots.
forcibly abducted, in the midst OF
hail of bullets, by a negro cab driver, and
driven at top speed into the country,
Miss Grace Marvin, a beautiful society
girl of Logansport, was rescued by q
posse, which found her unconscious in
the vehicle. with marks of violence on her
throat. Claiburn Lewis, the cab driver,
was discovered in the cab beside the I'M
conscious girl. 1t was necessary to take
him to Jail through the back streets of the
city, TO avoid a mob which had formed
to lynch him. Miss Marvin's abduction
was spectacular. She had been making
tour of road houses in the vicinage. in
company with Barry Cardigan, vaude-
vile actor. He left her in the cab while
he entered a cafe for a cigar. When be
returned TO the street he saw the cab
rapidly disappearing, with negro lash
ing the horses into a gallop and the young
woman leaning from the window. scream
ing for aid. but not daring to jump. Car
digan gave chase on foot. firing his re-
volver at the negro. and ran until he was
exhausted. The shots had attracted a
crowd and posse was hurriedly formed,
which overlook the cab after a chase OF
two hours. When caught, Lewis had
driven into secluded lane. apparently
with the idea of throwing his pursuers
off the track. When abducted the girl
was wearing diamonds belonging to Car
digan valued at $1,000. These. together
with the actors overcoat, in which was
$500, were recovered in the cab. Will
liam Marvin. the young woman's father,
has sworn to kill the negro and is being
guarded by his friends.
