THOUGHT IT CASE OF "BAT."
Condition of Senator Curtis Made
 Theory Reasonable.


 Much has been written about tha Indian blood of Charles Curtis, the new senator from Kansas. but Mir. Curtis experience as householder in Washington must have a tendency to oblitcrate the memory ef his fighting brave" ancestor. sitting in majestic pride before the open flap of his tepee.
 One night, when Mir. and Mrs Cur. tis returned from the theater. 1t was discovered that the latch key had failed of transfer to his evening clothes pockets, and no amount of prolonged pressure on the front door bell could elicit response from the darkened house.
 Finally Mir. Curtis attempted to climb the back fence and force pan. try window. It was no time to remem- Der ones copybook maxims. and Mir. Curtis leaped without looking Into the cindery depths of a half-filled ash can he descended. Then MT. Curtis and the ash can gave an imitation of the little pig who hid fin his churn and rolled down hill to escape the wolf.
 When the new senator returned to the front steps, where his wife sat patiently waiting. Mrs. Curtis was un- reasonable enough to ask which part of the can had given the black eye.
 Well go to the hotel for the rest of the night" was his firm rejoinder.
 In the early morning they stole out from the hotel and took a car bound for the home. where children and cook were sure to be astlr by this time.
 The car was filled with men and women going to work. who regarded the advent of couple. evidently from the meringue of life. with primitively candid curiosity.
 For Mrs. Curtis. although having the worried. maternal expression natural to a night away from the children. vas in irreproachable theater apparel. while the senator's garments vera symbolic of humility. being still be- grimed with the product of his inti- macy with the ash can. and 1t had be- come necessary to bandage his af- ficted ere.
 Senator and Mrs Curtis sat them selves down grimly in a corner.
 Suddenly a voice from the other end pierced the car rumble:
 T wonder where she found him. Magy--I -Is said.
 H
 The soul of the Dig chief within Senator Curtis struggled with his sense of humor. and the sense of hn- nor von--Human Life.

Inns and J. Ed Spooner, was over

city. Mr.. Otis, Miss Rollins and Mr..
Nunnan were the most seriously i'll
jured, as they were pinioned under

some delay in starting and Otis at

after be was out of the city limits.
While going at a high rate of speed
he attempted to pass Phillip S. Flynn's
car and while taking the off side Of
the road the machine skidded and
slid over the embankment into the
ditch The unfortunate passengers
were quickly placed in Flynn's car
and hurried back to the starting point,
where they received medical attention.

HARTMAN WILL TEST LAW
Government Uses Foreign Vessels,
Why Not Others2

New York, July 12.-Edward Fl.
Hartman, in an interview, has some
thing more to say about the proposal
to carry coal from this seaboard to
San Francisco in foreign bottoms. u
had no idea that my first statement
would be spread SO far and wide as 1t
has been," said Mr.. Hartman. How
ever, my point is this-why should
not send coal around Cape Horn In
foreign ships when the government
intends to do the same thing? Con-
slider the matter fairly. Here's the
0nited States government with a
steamship line thoroughly American
meaning my own-available for coal
carrying, but instead Of patronizing
this American line the government
goes ahead in opposition and engages
foreign bottoms.
Isn't that a peculiar situation?
Why should | not make test case OF
the matter? | think that perhaps

JAPS FEEL SOME MISGIVINGS
Marquis Ito's Organ Discusses
American Naval Plans.

Toxic, July 12.-The massing OF the
American fleet in the Pacific, about
which American papers have applied
to Marquis Ito for an opinion, is semi
officially discussed by Ito's admins
tration organ. The paper says:
"Wo cannot help feeling some mis-
giving with regard to the significance
of the intended massing OF American
battleships In the Pacific, especially in
view of the grandiose announcement
attributed to President Roosevelt to
the effect that the navy would furnish
the world with a startling demonstra-
tion of Americas defensive capacity.
1t Is difficult for us to accept the as
surance that the coming maneuvers
do not possess any connection what
ever with the Japanese-American sit
uation. We regret that Washington
thinks 1t necessary to take what re-
sembles precautionary measure.
However, we are not disposed to at
tach serious Importance to this matter
and have no inclination to doubt the
presidents sincerity in assuring the
peaceful nature of the proposed
maneuvers. Neither have we the
slightest doubt of the pacific and
friendly sentiments OF the American
government. The people toward whom
Japan's blame is probably due are the
irresponsihles of both nations"

DOUBLE MURDER At BUFFALO
Jealous Man Accused of Killing Sa-

merly lived with Hodson and her re-
fusal to leave Forrestals place and re-
sumo her relations with Hodson are

utes after the crime was committed.
He was covered with blood, but de-
elared that he had no recollection of
what occurred.

SETTLE WHOLE QUESTION
Admrals Evans and Yamamoto Dis
cuss War Rumors.

New York, July 12.-In Admiral
Baron Gombel Yamamoto of Japan,
who is New York's guest, Rear Ad'
miral Evans has found an old friend
and between themselves they have
settled the American-Japanese war.
Rear Admiral Evans, after a visit
to Admiral Yamamoto, said that he
had discussed the rumors of war with
the japanese admiral.
We settled the whole question our
selves" said Admiral Evans, "and the
first and last shots were fired by the
photographers. The admiral and
are old friends. He was secretary OF
the navy in Japan when l was there
some years ago and he has visited
this country twice before.
He thinks, as l do, that there is
nothing at all to this talk about war.
Leading men Of Japan and the two
governments understand each other
perfectly In this matter and the good
sense Of the governments will prevent
any trouble"

and Their Activity Is the Only
Cause for Anxiety.

New York, July 12.-Viscount Aoli,
the japanese ambassador, who was In
New York during the day to attend a
reception In honor of Admiral Yama'
motto, issued through his secretary a
reassertion of his previous declaration
that there is no "Japsnese-Amer
situation" and that all the talk of
trouble between the two nations Is a
phantom creation of irresponsible
trouble makers and trouble hunters.
II there be any cause for anxiety, he
said, 1t is due to the influence Of un-
warranted press talk, that often tends
to drive even the calmest temper of
the public into whirl of tempestuous
rage"

a verdict of death from natural

wife of Walter Swinburn Hancock,
formerly an Episcopalian clergyman OF
Chicago, who died March % last, the
cause of death being certified as ap-
pendicitis. Owing to the suspicious
of the woman's son, who is a lawyer,
the body was exhumed and he testi.
fed at the inquest that he thought
Hancock poisoned his wife in order TO
obtain her property.

AMERICA HER BEST FRIEND
Japanese Statesman Ridcues Posi-
bility of War.

New York, July 12.-Keiroku TZu
zuki, a Japanese statesman of cabinet
rank and ambassador plenipotentiary
of his country to The Hague confer
ence, is quoted at length in the Herald
in a special cable dispatch on the pre-
vailing reports regarding the relations
of Japan and the United States. Mr..
Tzuzuki, according to the Heralds
Hague correspondent, has the fullest
confidence Of his government and
what he says may be taken as reflect
ing the views Of ministerial, Official
and intelligent Japanese sentiment. In
beginning his statement Mr. TZuzukl
said there must be great misunder-
standing somewhere.
"Of all the countries In the world"
he said, the United States is the very
last Japan seeks any trouble with.
Japan IS very young nation among
the family of nations. Young nations
like ourselves are full of sensibility
and deeply sensible as to those who
have been our friends In our struggles
and to those who have been our en-
emies. Now, of all, our best friend has
been the United States. That she was
the one power that gratuitously re-
turned to us her share of the Simeono-
saki indemnity Is known and i'm
pressed upon every schoolboy In ia
pan.
I'VE remember with gratitude that
America was the first country to rec
ognizo our claims to extra territorial
ity.
I'VE remember that during the last
war. when we were engaged in a IT,
tanic and supreme struggle, the en-
tire sympathy of the United States
was with us. That left deep i'm
preston upon us, as America will find
In the future.
The understanding between our
respective governments is perfect. So
1t is, most firmly believe, between
intelligent people In both countries"
