day shortly after the legislative committee

against Senator Bailey, asked Mr.. Mentz
Fif eoioaelr rcowart OF Dallas went TO New

ostensibly 10 have his throat treated. but
really to attend to business for the Kirby
Lumber company.
Senator Bailey arose and said that any
one who said that cowart went to New
York to see him was liar.
The witness understood that Senator
Bailey meant him, and he arose in his seat
and declared emphatically that he would
allow no man to call him a liar. He as
serted that he was not willing witness,
but so help me God. 1 will allow no man
TO call me a liar" he shouted
Senator Bailey started for the witness,

WAR TALK AT DISCOUNT
Japanese Make Light OF Reports Ema-
mating from some Parts
of America.

TOXIC, Feb. 6-Afternoon.-!The press is
still silent anent the war cry in some
American papers Not the slightest excite
ment was apparent here at noon today
after this talk was transmitted here, and
1t was generally ignored. 1t Is believed
that the anti-Japanese agitation by a por-
tion Of the American press will afford proof
OF the futility OF an EFFORT to shake the
profound confidence which Japan reposes
in President Roosevelt and in the American
people generally.
Japanese situation. arising from the San
Francisco school incident, is illustrated by
the following statement issued today:
Since the talk OF war was first trans
mitted from America we have carefully
watched the development OF feeling here.
There has not been the slightest excite
ment anywher In tn country"
The talk of war is completely ignored
here and implicit confidence Is reposed in
President Roosevelt and his government
The ebullutions OF the anti-Japanese press
OF America are powerless TO shake Japan $
cordiality toward the United States"

no war l would wager my whole fortune

WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Congressman Hubbard OF Iowa.
who is Interested In the upper reaches OF
the Missouri river, proposes when the APP
preparation for the Missouri river Is reached
to offer the same amendment which applies
TO the Mississippi river relating TO the use
Of money for dredging. removing OF snags
and carrying out continuous contracts. IL
is Mr.. Hubbard's contention thst the chan

the dams or water breaks that now hold
the channel Of the James in check below

gardng the Missouri Is wholly inadequate
to perform the work outlined, and It is his
intention to perfect the cill so that under
its terms satisfactory work may be done.

Hurrah for Medicine Hati

Hurrah for Medicine Haiti
Twelve degrees below zero at o'clock
Tuesday morning is the coldest weather
Omaha has felt thus far this winter. The
sharp decline revived memories OF that
famous weathervane of the great north

none worse is supposed to exist. The mer-
curry was slow to recede from its descent.
1t proceeded upward with measured
march, touching IL below at s and a. M,

equator and registering 1 degree ON the
north side at p M.
The forecast is for warmer weather with
more snow.
For several days the thermometer has
been showing unmistakable signs Of get
ting down to business. In fact the ground
hog allayed all doubts on the subject and
90 people were not taken unaware. But
the cold weather Is felt nonetheIess. The

for this winter. but since the severe wea-
ther OF two years ago. The minimum last
winter was below, February H. Valentine

Belt as compared with some other points
not many miles away.
Street cars have been encountertng more

snow and chilly atmosphere and yesterday

sometimes fought for a place in a tightly
packed car. But the company succeed in
handling it's cars 80 as to avoid serious
accidents and in fact brought the service
UP to the normal before the day got very
old.
The continued cold treasures ice men OF

sumner a guarantee against exorbitant
prices next summer on account Of the
short supply.

grees below zero at 3 o'clock Tuesday morn
