KOREA ANNOYS THE JAPS.
Appeal to The Hague Makes Trouble
for Marquis Ito.

Inquiry shows that general disgust
is the main effect among Japanese at
Seoul as result of the conspiracy
in sending Korean deputation to The
Hague, the Geographic disclosures of
which interrupted the Korean emper-
or's profuse assurances to Marquis
Ito of his confidence in him and his
reform plans and especially his sup
posed ardent desire for a sincere Or
ganization of the cabinet.
Marquis Ito is much disappointed
and must now proceed in face of the
emperor's intrigues, which have false
ly elated a large section of the upper
classes, who are now anticipating a
miracle in Korea.
Although Ito's administrative ma
chinery is incapable of ministering
justice to the Korean people, Japan
has executively and in the matter of
creating base Of operations and es-
tablishing a highway to Manchuria
been strikingly successful in Korea.
Marquis Ito declared that it would
require 10 years to produce a modern
government in Korea.

SHE BETRAYED TELLER RUNYAN
Mrs. Laura Carter Was Also Arrested
at Same Time In N. Y.

Chester B. Runyan, the teller of the
Windsor Trust company, who is al
legged to have stolen s96,317 from that
company, and Mrs. Laura Carter, the
woman who betrayed his hiding place
to the police after he had given her
part of the stolen funds were ar
raigned in police court Saturday.
Where Is $4,000?
What had become of $4,000 of the
total company's stolen funds was still
a mystery. Runyan had in his pos.
session when arrested $14,410. OF
the balance he said he had lost SIG, 900
in speculation in stocks before he dis.
appeared from the Office of the Wind.
sor Trust company, that he had given
$4,000 to Mrs. Carter and that he be.
lieved she had taken $4,000 more
without his knowledge.
Mrs. Carter said she had deposited
all. the money that Runyan gave her
in a bank and that it would stay there
if she could keep it there. She de
clared that she could have obtained
possession of all the money Runyan
had IL she had tried hard enough.
Concerning her betrayal Of Run
vans hiding place she said that she
had felt sorry for Mrs. Runyan and
debated with herself whether to mott
fly Mrs. Runyan Of her husbands
whereabouts or to give him up to the
police. She did the latter. she de-
claTed, because she learned that Mrs
Runyan was ill. Although she said
she had no hope Of securing the re
ward for Bunyan, she remarked tina,
she could make use of the $1,000 Of
fered. AS she, like Runyan, was un
der the charge of grand larceny and
the police have yet to recover about
'$25,000 which Runyan declares she
has hidden, there is little chance OF
her securing the reward.

FOURTH OF JULY DEATH ROLL
More Victims This Year Than Yea
of 1906.
The Chicago Tribune says:

The Chicago Tribune says:
Fifty-nine men, women and chill
dren are dead and 2153 are MANNED,
lacerated or burned as result of the
Fourth excesses of patriotism in the
United States. The number of dead
does not include five drowned during
the day.
The roster Of dead is eight more
than last years mortalities.
Unfortunately, the death roll will
increase day by day, and even the
late days of August will witness addi.
lions to it. Tetanus, that grim after
math of gunpowder wounds, claims
it's victims by scores and even hun
dreds for weeks after the Fourth.
New York leads all the cities of the
United States in the number of killed
and injured. Ten persons are dead
in the city, while six more are so Sc
riously hurt that it is expected they
will die within a few hours.
There were 116 fires in Greater
New York during the day. These fig
ures break all Fourth of July records
for the big metropolis.
Pittsburg, Pa, ran New York a
close second in the grim race, nine
persons yielding up their lives on the
altar of frenzied patriotism.
Chicago, although the second city
of the country, added only two dead
to the nations total.
The crusade against the deadly toy
pistol seems to be bearing fruit, as
this year only 2O5 victims are reported
as against 304 last year.

SNEERS AT THE U. s. NAVY
Says Officers Are Deficient and Mer
Lack Patriotism.

Toxic, July 10.-The Hochi printt
an interview with Admiral Sakamoto,
in which the admiral is quoted as
follows:
SHOULD hostilities break out be-
tween Japan and America the result
would be indecisive, owing to a want
of proper bases of operation. Such
bases as exist are too distant for
practical purposes. Even the near
est bases, namely, the Pescadores,
Cavite and Manila, are at a distance
of 600 miles from one another. Even
if the Washington government should
decide on war, it is doubtful if the
Americans serving in the navy are
sufficiently patriotic to fight
American naval officers are bril-.
liant figures at balls and social ga.
therings, but they are deficient in
professional training and practice. II
is too much to expect burning
patriotism in the American naval
service in case of a war with Japan
1t is likely that most of the crews
would desert and leave the ships"

Mayor Schn1itz
Got Five Years

San Francisco, July o. Superior
Judge Dunno Monday morning, in the
presence of the largest crowd that has
as yet gathered in his courtroom at
Temple Sheriff Israel, sentenced May
or Eugene E. Schmitz to five years i'm
risonment in San Quentin penitentiary
for the crime Of extorting $1175 from
French restaurant keepers of San Fran
cisco, Of which crime he was convict
ed by jury on the 18th of last month.
The sentencing of Schmitz was one
of the most dramatic scenes ever wit.
messed in a western court. The effec.
tiveness of the fearful denunciation OF
the convicted mayor as delivered by
the judge prior to the passing of judg-
ment was heightened by the demeanor
of the prisoner, who time and again
interrupted the court to demand that
"these humilating remarks" be desist-
ed from and that "the court do it's
duty" by pronouncing sentence at
once. Once while the sentence i'm
pended, the judge threatened to send
Attorney Metson of the mayors coun-
sci to Jail for contempt because he de-
cried the courts comments as "cruel
and unusual punishment, and Metson
was told by Dunno that he ought to be
begging day in court to defend him
self against the charge of having tam
pered with a witness in the case.
The defense filled bill of excep.
tons, after the n otion for new trial
and the motion for an arrest of judg-
ment had been denied, and Judge
Dunno granted certificate of propable
cause upon which Schmitz will go to
the district court of appeals for new
trial.
AS the last words TO the sentence fell
from the judges lips the great crowd
that had stood throughout the dramatic
scene sent up a thunderous cheer.
Attorney Fairall of the defense. rails.
ing his voice above the din, called out
to Judge Dunno:
"Your honor, this cheering is very
unseemingly occurrence.
WELL" retorted Judge Dunno, with
spirit, "if we had a sheriff worthy the
name it would have been stopped in.
stantly."
Sheriff Thomas O'Neill was stand
ing inside the rail. He turned to the
court and protested:
Nobody could have stopped that,
your HONOR
T h Q dramatic atmosphere was
heightened by staff of newspaper
photographers who exploded fashlight
after flashlight till the courtroom was
so filled with smoke that it became
sitting
The sentencing of the convicted
mayor was in one respect without
parallel in the criminal annals of San
Francisco. Half a dozen times Judge
Dunno was interrupted by Scbmitz,
who protested in strong words against
the delivery of lecture" instead of
the announcement of judgment. He
accused the court of unnecessarily hu-
him and giving opportunity
for further humiliation by the report
ing of his remarks in the press.

Stock Men Win Point.

Chicago-Representatives of live
stock exchanges throughout the west,
in conference with representatives OF
all the big packers won what they
considered an important victory, do
ing away substantially with the prop
osition of the packers that all cattle
be received from shippers subject to
post norton examination.
This proposition, which has been
fought by all the livestock exchanges,
will now apply only to dairy cows and
to common canning cows. The pack
ers agreed to pass all range cattle.
This will mean a large proportion OF
the receipts at the big stockyards.

RUMORS
OF WAR
SOME PEOPLE BOUND
TO THINK so.
SENDING ATLANTIC FLEET TO
PACIFIC WATERS TO SHOW
SPEED.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, J2ly 1.-THE sig
nificance of Rear Admiral Brownson's
addition to the somewhat meager in
formation which has come from Presi-
dent Roosevelt regarding the contem-
plated two ocean maneuvers of the
Atlantic battleships, is regarded here
as having been overlooked in the COM
ment, expert and otherwise, which has
since been INDUCED in ON both con-
tinents. Admiral Brownson came to
Oyster Bay Friday to take lunch with
the president, protesting entire ignor-
ance of the maneuver plans. When he
left Sycamore Hill to take the train
for Washington, the admiral had one
thought which he wished emphasized
that it was desirable and important
to demonstrate to the world how
quickly the American navy could
transfer its fighting strength from one
ocean to the other.
This was distinctly an addition to
the presidents previous statement is.
sued through Secretary Loeb, wherein
the object of the maneuver was said
to be an exercise movement for the
benefit of the navy, to perfect its
training in fleet exercise on an ex-
tended scale, the purpose and effect
of the plan being for the benefit of
the navy alone.
What came from President Roose.
welt through Admiral Brownson is de.
cidedly a different and much broader
design. President Roosevelt has been
consistent in advocating a larger navy
as the guarantee of peace between the
United States and all foreign powers
Heretofore, large navy has been
reckoned solely from the point of view
of the number of ships, their tonnage
armor, guns and fighting capacity.
With this idea the American navy has
grown steadily, ship by ship.
A Peaceful Demonstration.
To the somewhat uninteresting ar
ray of ships and tonnage, President
Roosevelt now proposes to give the
world a somewhat startling demon
stration of what the American navy is
capable o fdoing to protect either OF
both of the extended shores of the
United States. AS Admiral Brownsor
said: There is no time like the pres
emit for such demonstrations rime
when the United States Is at peace
with all nations

JOHN D.
TESTIFIES
PRESIDENT OF GREAT
OIL co. A WITNESS.
PROVED TO BE VERY IGNORANT
OF COMPANY'S
AFFAIRS.

Chicago, July John D. Rockefel-
Ter, president of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey, occupied the
witness stand in the district court
Saturday, while Judge Lands piled
him with questions regarding the fin
ancial strength and the business meth
DDS of the corporation of which he is
the head. Mr.. Rockefeller was a very
willing and an equally unsatisfactory
witness. He was ready to tell all that
he knew. but he said that he knew
practically nothing. The net result
of his examination was that he be-
lieved during the years 1903, 1904 and
1905, the period covered by the in
dictments on which the Standard Oil
company of Indiana was recently con-
victed, the net profits of the Standard
Oil company Of New Jersey were ap-
proximately 40 per cent of an. out
standing capitalization of 100000, 900.
The investigation by Judge lands
was instituted by him for the express
purpose of determining whether or not
the Standard Oil company of indiana,
the law. was really owned by the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey /;
whether the Union Tank Line com
pany, whose cars were used for the
shipments made in violation of the
law, was similarly owned, and also
to obtain an idea of the financial re.
sources of the convicted corporation,
in, to In nj an ion 70
to the offense and the assets of the
convicted company.
The prospective appearance in court
OF the man reputed to be the richest
man in the world brought about a
spectacle the like of which has never
been witnessed in the vicinity of a
Chicago courtroom. The crowd was
so dense that frequent cries for as
sistance were heard and people who
were damned against the wall fran
tically begged for relief against the
pressure to which they were subject
ed.
Admission to the courtroom was by
card only, but many people succeeded
in evading the guards and when Judge
lOCh LID scat lAS IOOll was
packed to the last inch. Inside the
courtroom perfect order prevailed al
all times, except at the immediate
opening, when Judge Lands threat
ened to clear the room if absolute
quiet was not preserved.
Secretary Pratt testified that the
net earnings of the Standard Oil of
New Jersey were $91 100000 in 1903,
SCI 100000 for the first half of 1904,
and $57,000,000 in 1905.
"Send John D. Rockefeller and a
dozen other trust magnates to prison
for long term of years and one of
the most vital questions before the
people of this country will have been
solved" William Jennings Bryan de-
clared on the case at banquet given
in his honor by DR.. Sol. G. Dickey,
president of the Winona Lake assem-
bly,, at Warsaw, Ind, as follows:
President Roosevelt and others are
now bringing to successful issue the
principles and ideas l advocated IL
years ago." Mr.. Bryan continued.

the tariff. The president is compiling

Gutherie. Okla. April .l6.-The Okla
homa constitutional convention. which
completed the work 81 writing a con-
stitution for the new state. on March
15 last, reconvened today for the pur-
pose Of signing the edited and com.
pleted document. Two copies were
placed before the delegates one be-
ing the engrossed copy, as edited and
revised, and the other the original,
showing the changes made by the edit
ing committee. After due examina-
tion the former parchment copy will
be signed by all the 112 delegates, and
the work Of the body will be complete,
lacking only ratification by the people
at the coming state election. The
work of the editors, accomplished
since the convention adjourned last
month. was confined 4 to correcting
errors and making the phraseology
uniform.
One change in the constitution that
may possibly be made at the present
session is the addition Of clause
to the election ordinance, providing
for the members Of the supreme cleo
ton board acknowledging their ap-
pointment or subscribing to an oath
Of Office. Some lawyers have stated
that the omission Of such a provision
invalidates the election ordinance and
renders imperative the whole cleo
ton plan of the constitutional con-
vention.
A corps of stenographers are now
busily at work transcribing the ver-
batim proceedings of the convention.
It is estimated that the record will
cover 1900 pages of copying paper,
with 300 words to the page, making
the tremendous total of $1,000, 900
words officially spoken during the lis
days of the convention. ut will re-
quire practically all summer to COM
plete the task. 49,. y ~ (.
The constitution itself contains ap-
proximately 100000 words, and as
printed in book form covers 1913 pages.
The constitution of Louisiana, con-
tanning $4,000 words. is the longest of
any other state. The inclusion of
what has heretofore been considered
purely legislative measures is largely

by the people of the two territories

Some of the more important Of the
measures provided for in the document
are the submission of the question of
prohibition to a vote of the people
of the entire state; division of the
new state into seventy-five counties; {;
a two-cent passenger fare; an cleo
tive railroad commission; compulsory
and separate education; state opera
tion and ownership of coal mines;
restricting railroads from engaging
in other business than transportation,
and requiring a majority vote to
amend the constitution.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Boston, April 16.-A fire OF threat
ening proportion broke out on the
Central wharf shortly before 10:30
a. m. today, in one fthe large ware
houses. A report that a large
quantity of oil was stored there,
caused considerable excitement, and
three alarms were sounded in quick
succession. The warehouse Is a large
strong structure, standing at the juno
ton Of Central wharf and Atlantic
avenue. The flames are said to have
started after an explosion on the
premises on the Eastern Oil company.
Among the occupants of the build
ing besides the Eastern Oil company,
are Emery & Bemis, leaf tobacco,
Borne & Scrymser, oil reftners, and
the Commonwealth company.
Several persons who were burned
by the sudden outbreak of the flames,
were treated at the relief hospital.
At II o'clock it was believed that the
flames were confined to the warehouse
which was practically burned out. The
loss Is aboHt 100000.
Fifteen horses were so badly burned
they must be killed.
