ROOSEVELT AND YAMAMoTo.
No Break in Friendship Following
Interview, President Declares.

NEW YORK, July 13.-Admiral Baron
Yamamoto, one Of Japan's naval experts,
yesterday met for the first time President
Roosevelt, the man who. more than any
other man. was responsible for the conclu-
sion of peace between Japan and Russia
after a prolonged war during which Ad-
miral Yamamoto was Japans minister of
marine.
In private conversation the representa-
tives of the two countries discussed the
cloud which has been lowering over the
long lasting friendship between Japan and
America. and each expressed the opinion
that 1t was merely 4 passing shadow. and
which could in way reach climax
that would shake the confidence each coun-
try has had in the other since the day Com
modore Perry induced the TOkogawa Sho-
gun to open the island empire to communi-
cation with the outside world.
Although Admiral Yamamoto is in Amer
lea purely in a personal capacity and in no
way a representative of his government.
President Roosevelt made special arrange
ments yesterday to entertain him and the
party of naval officers who accompany him.
and both before and after the luncheon at
which they were entertained at the Pres
idents summer home at Oyster Bay, took
occasion to discuss in a purely informal
manner the stories which have for some
time been printed In the papers of both
countries.
Admiral Yamamoto In these converse
tons repea ted the statements which he
has made on several occasions since he ar
rived in New York. that any feeling that
there might be in Japan because of occur
rences on the Pacific coast was directed
solely against the people of that section of
the country, and that there was no possible
chance of this feeling reaching a point
where trouble between the governments
would be possible.
After the visit to Oyster Bay Admiral
Yamamoto and the members of his suite
expressed great delight at having had the
opportunity of meeting the President of the
United States in such an informal manner,
terday's meeting had done much to brush
between the two countries.
AS an incident of yesterdays meeting
Capt Kano. who Is Admiral Yamamoto's
aid presented to President Roosevelt per
sonal gift from the Emperor Of Japan. The
gift consisted of a small box of the i'm
perial Japanese red lacquer. the making of
which is a lost art even in Japan.
Immediately following the luncheon Ad-
miral Yamamoto and his suite returned to
New York. The following official statement
regarding the visit to Oyster Bay was later
given out there by Secretary Loeb: THE
President had long interview with Adj
miral Baron Yamamoto. and 1t was most
satisfactory in every way. 1t simply con-
firms (what had already been made clear
by Ambassador AokD the thoroughly good
understanding between the two govern
ments and fundamental friendliness be-
tween the two nations

GUARDED BANK ROBBED.
$1,000 Day Stolen With Detectives
Constantly on Watch.

NEW YORK, July 13.-That money Is be.
ing stolen from the cash drawers of the
Jenkins Trust Company. at Coney Island
at the rate of 81, O0O>a day, while four de
tectives stand on guard. unable to prevent
the thefts or discover the robbers, is the
extraordinary situation which battles Police
Capt. Langdon and his staff of sleuths.
The total sum missing is now $1,000 and
the larger part of it was taken while the
detectives stood in the bank and watched
every man and woman who entered, be-
sides keeping clerks and employees under the
strictest surveillance. The police and bank
officials are absolutely without a clue. The
Coney Island house is one of several
branches of the company which has its
headquarters in Brooklyn.
About two weeks ago the first theft was
discovered. Richard X. F[aldane cashier of
the branch. reported to John ]. Jenkins,
president that a considerable sum of money
was missing. The cashier said 1t had been
taken some time during the day. and the
theft was discovered when cash was bal
anced that night.
An investigation only disclosed that the
money had been taken from a cash drawer
The next day. when cash was counted.
more money was missing. In both instances
packages of bills of different denominations
were stolen.
Unable to fathom the mystery the bank
ers called in Police Capt. Langdon and his
detectives. The police advised that the
thefts be kept quiet in the hope that the
thief could be caught.
Unable to fathom the mystery. the bank
but that evening another $1,000 was gone.
Next day the two were in the bank early
ana they remained late. Not person en-
tered or left the bank without being
watched. In spite of this another 81 900 was
missing at the close of business that day.
The thefts had become SO frequent and
so mysterious by this time that Capt. Lang
don communicated with police headquarters
and Lieuts. Hughes and Busby were sent
to the bank. All four men were on watch
the next day.
AS If to show defiance to the police, the
thief that day was not satisfied with
his usual 81 600 haul. and the amount miss
ing at the close of business was larger
And so the stealing has gone on from day
to day. and the police are no nearer a soIu-
ton of the mystery than they were the day
1t began.

NEW YORK. July 13-Some stock mar
ket observers who took the trouble yester-
day to investigate the matter found that
very large proportion of the buying orders
which gave the market it's firm tone orig
mated on the floor of the stock exchange.
Most of the active commission houses are
advising their clients to buy stocks except
on the sharp breaks for reasonably quick
turns. The commission houses also report
that the investment buying continues to be
unimportant Several of the hitherto larg-
est individual operators who have been seen
within the last few days have said that
they can see no inducement to take on a
large line of stocks at this time. They be-
lieve that the market will be dull for some
weeks, and that consequently the high in
terest rate which they expect will prevail
would more than balance any profits that
might be made.

ion is held that the Berg syndicate does

fact that b. F. Yoakum allowed his option

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July 13--The Distinguishing
features of this mornings stock market
were Its strength and dullness. The first
named attribute seemed to be due in large
measure To the geeral idea that the low
rates which were quoted for money on cail
yesterday foreshadowed much stronger
bank statement than was indicated IN the
preliminary estimates Of the principal
movements In currency during the week.
With the course of the morning the usual
forecasts of the bank statement were pub
l!shed and these likewise. suggested that
the banks might be able to escape reporting
a deficit in spite of their heavy loss in their
transa ctions with the subtreasury.
Another influence in the course of prices
was the general impression that the report
of the interstate commerce commission
upon It's investigation of the Hartman sys-
TEN would be a comparatively mild doCu-
ment. \ similar belief prevailed in London
and in some measure responsible for
tho strength of American stocks at that
point.
The feature of the London stock market.
and. perhaps. a significant one, was the
sharp recovery in Japanese bonds. Little
or nothing. however, was done here for
foreign account.
Active dealings were again limited to
such stocks Union Pacific. st. Paul.
Reading, Amalgamated Copper and United
States Steel common.
