PRESIDENT OF EXPOSITION
REFUSES TO HEED PROTESTS
GREAT MILITARY DISPLAY WILL
BE HELD AT JAMESTOWN
President Tucker Arranges with War
and Navy Departments for En-
campments, Despite Complaints
from Members of Advisory Board
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 11.-President
Tucker of the Jamestown exposition
&board has received letters and tele-
grams from nearly every one of the
members of the advisory committee of
the exposition except those who
signed the protest against the alleged
undue prominence to be given to the
military and naval features of the
government exhibit.
All of these correspondents take eX-
ception vigorously to the criticism i'm
piled in the protest of the dozen sign
ers to the published statement, and
as there are one hundred members of
the advisory committee the exposition
authorities feel that they are privileged
to regard the protest as failing to set
out the views of any considerable part
of the committee.
Mr.. Tucker meanwhile is earnestly at
work personally at the war and navy
departments doing all he can to induce
the officers to hasten the arrangements
for the cncampment and he naval dis
play, which it IS intended shall be one
of the most novel and attractive feat

PROSPEROUS TIMES
Judge Moir Tells of Improvements
Now Under Way and Says Archi-
peIago Will Soon Be One of Worlds
Greatest Industrial Markets
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Percy M Moir
judge of the court of first instance in
the Philippines, who is on a visit to
this country after an absence of five
years, said here in an interview that
American merchants are neglecting eX-
traordinary opportunities for business
in the archipelago.
He declared it lamentable that with
the islands entirely pacified a general
system of railroads in course of con-
struction and the rich resources of our
far eastern possessions being we'll de-
veloped the business men of the United
States as a whole are paying virtually
no attention to what will be in the
course of time one of the great indus
trial markets of the world.
There are few Americans in the
Philippines in business now except
those engaged in the railroad work, "
said Judge Moir. This project was
begun lately and is rapidly being
pushed forward, so that it has already
given a great impetus to general con-
ditions. The system will connect all
the principal islands from Luzon on
the north to the Visayan on the south.
with these lines finished and the pro-
posed agricultural banks started there
will be nothing wanting toward the
prosperity of the Philippines and we of
the United States will find that we
drove a good bargain when we took
them over"

WILL SEND BIG ARMORED
SHIPS TO PACIFIC COAST
BY Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Although
the suggestion has been made that
on account of the weak reputation, of
armored ships on the Pacific coast sew
eral such vessels should be sent there
at once, 1t was stated today that the
naval general board has no present in
tention Of disturbing the plans made
long since for the maneuvers which are
about to begin at Culebra and Guanta-
namo. 1t is not improbable, however,
that after the fleet reaches these wa
ters for the final scraping and minor re-
pairs and is ready to be dispersed,
some ships of the heavy armored class
may be sent around the Horn for sta
ton I'm the Pacific waters along the
United States coast.
This 1t is said, can be accomplished
without seriously affecting the Compo-
sitlon of the Atlantic fleet because of
the fact that several new battleships
and armored cruisers will be commits
stoned within the next few months
which can take the place of the vessels
withdrawn.

JUDGE WOULD JAIL
SCHMITZ' LAWYER
Attorney Ach Is Threatened with
Prison II He Does Not Cease
Insulting of Wit

BY Associated Press.

by ASSuNldltu tItSSs
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1t.--During
the examination of Grand Juror Lev
ingston for bias in the Schmitz-Ruef
case in Judge Dunne's court today At
torney Ach asked him IL IL were not
true that he had at one time kept a
sailors boarding house on the water
front. Johnson Jumped to his feet
with a vehement denunciation of Ach's s
manner, characterizing 1t as insulting,
and asking the court to direct Short
ridge. Ach's associate, to conduct the
examination.
Judge Dunno refused to do this, but
he told Ach that If he persisted in
offending he would send him to Jail.
Levingston admitted that he had
opposed Schmitz and Ruef because of
their grating methods. In explaining
his understanding of the word graft
ing he said it was a practice morally
wrong, but legally unassailable.
Frank a. Christmas and William
Hart, automobile agents. whose place
of business is near Levingston's store,
testified that they had frequently
heard Levingston refer to Ruef and
Schmitz as thieves" and "grafters"
and Attorney Garfinkle gave evidence
to the same effect.
Did you think that Ruef got $7500OO
from the United railroads for letting
them string their trolleys through the
streets?" asked Ach of Grand Juror
Levingston.
81 would not say for certain that
he would not do it,"
The examination of Levingston con-
tinued until o'clock this evening,
when Judge Dunno ordered Ach to
cease examination, as in his opinion
it had gone beyond all bounds.
Levingston stated that his express
sions that Schmitz and Ruef were
"grafters" were made prior to the last
election and merely were his political
opinions. The hearing was continued
until next Thursday.

FLOWERY KINGDOM COTTON
IMPORTS FALL OFF HEAVILY
DECREASE AMOUNTS TO FOUR
TEEN MILLION DOLLARS
Reduction in Goods Purchased Is Not
Result of Boycott but Is General.
Purchase of Kerosene Oil Is Also
Greatly Curtailed
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-That i'm
portation of cotton goods into China
suffered heavy falling off during the
year just closed is the assertion made
in a statement issued today by the
bureau of statistics in the department
of commerce and labor.
This reduction, however, is general
and not aimed exclusively at this
country. The reason for this marked
ton products is due, it is explained. to
the fact that the Flowery kingdom
bought more of these goods than she
could consume a year ago.
1t is shown that China purchased
about $14,OOOO0O worth less of cotton
goods for the eleven months ending
with November last than during a
corresponding period of 1905. Ameri-
can importations into China for the
eleven months of 1905 aggregated $751;
900 900 and in the same period during
the past year they amounted to only
SIT 900, 900.
The four principal classes of cotton
goods which China has been accus-
toned to draw from the United States
in any considerable quantities are cot
ton sheetings, shirtings, drills and
Jeans For the first nine months of
the past year American expectations OF
sheetings into China We're 4,750,744
pieces Of drills, 1,6S0235 pieces of
jeans, 212,3SO pieces of shirtings MAX
ing total of 6,SS2, 9S4 pieces, as COM
pared with 1852, ,O87 pieces in 1905,
| showing a reduction of 26 per cent.
Kerosene oil, the second article of
Importance of American export trade
TO China, also shows a marked de-
cline for the last year. During eleven
months in 1905 our export trade in
| that product amounted to 71,500,00O
gallons, while in the like period of the
past year the exports to China had
! fallen to about 44000,O00.

EMPEROR s WORLD
POLICY EXPLAINED
GERMANY'S FUTURE DEPENDS
ON COLONIES
Herr Dornburg Presents Facts show-
ing Colonial Question Is Most Im-
portant to Country at the
Present Time
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, Jan. 11.-Colonial Director
Dornburg explained the foundation of
Emperor Williams so-called WELT
politik' (world policy this evening at
the German chamber of commerce.
Herr Dornburg said:
The German colonial question is
the question of the future of national
labor, the question of the bread of mill
lions of Industrial workers and the
question of employment of German
capital in trade production and naviga-
ton"
In presenting the facts leading up to
these conclusions Herr Dornburg said
that the English speaking nations of the
middle of the eighteenth century num-
bered nine millions, while the German
speaking nations numbered twenty mil
lions.
Today 120,000,0O0 speak English and
only 7O,000,000 speak German.
Large Area Open to Settlers
On the subject of colonization Herr
Dornburg said that while the greater
part of the African colonies were not
adapted to colonization by Europeans,
German Southwest Africa and the
highlands of East Africa contained
areas twice as large as Germany which
could be settled by Europeans, and
large areas were also available in the
South Sea colonies. The rest of Ger
many's colonial possessions must re-
main so-called plantation colonies"
with the necessary patience and
persistence" said Herr Dornburg, "a
great part of Germany's requirements
in raw materials can be obtained from
her colonies. Germany, necessarily, is
becoming an industrial state owing to
the lack of agricultural lands. Hence
it is necessary to export part of the
goods manufactured. Our colonies can
supply cheap raw materials and Ger
man manufacturers and working peo-
pie can thus be assured of being able
to influence prices through the world
as against foreign monopolies and high
tariffs
Herr Dornburg added that the colo
nies were powerful strategic weapons
when it became necessary to make ar
rangements with other countries for
reciprocal trade in raw materials and
finished products.

Several Are Injured
BY Associated Press.

by associated Press.
GREAT FALLS, Mont, Jan. 1.-THE
Montana Central westbound train con-
tanning Mr. and Mrs. w. j. Bryan,
who left here after Mr.. Bryan's lee
ture last evening, collided with a
switch engine and stone cars at Z
O'Clock this morning in the Great

The engine of the passenger train
was badly damaged and the baggage
car wrecked and several people shaken
up. Mike Connelley of Glasgow was
injured severely about the head and
shoulders, but not fatally, while sew
eral others were bruised considerably.
The passenger train was moving at
only about ten miles an hour and the
accident happened because of the blind

gineer to see only few feet ahead.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were both
thrown from their seats, but received
no injuries other than the shaking up.
