FOREIGNERS WOULD

/. Of the United States

London, July 10.-Today the Daily
Telegraph publishes a long dispatch
from The Hague declaring that war is
imminent between the United States
and Japan. The Telegraph's CORE.
spondent says that since June 20 the
question has entered on an acute
phase. Japan has been sending the
United States extremely categorical
notes, stating without bitterness, but
in the clearest tones that unless Wash.
ington is able to control California
Japan will consider herself free to act
directly against California. Nothing
yet has been exchanged precluding a
pacific settlement, but many Of the
japanese at The Hague are of the
opinion that the japanese government
ought to act without delay and not
give America time to utilize her vast
resources and economic potentiality,
a hundred fold greater than Japan's, to
perfect warlike preparations.

Boise, July 9.-Judge Fremont
Wood has ruled out of the evidence
III the Haywood case a portion of the
testimony taken at San Francisco, and
effected testimony is considered of
vital Importance by the defense. In
cluded in the deposition of Walter H.
Linforth, whose building was blown
up when F. W. Bradley was injured,
were copies of affidavits made by De
tective Mcfarland and Governor
Gooding which contradict Harry Or
chard.
This is the testimony which the
court ruled out on an objection from
Senator Borah. Darrah and Richard
son fought valiantly to get the Judge
to rule their way but their efforts were
futile, the court holding that the rec
Ords of the Linforth case were not
properly admissible in the shape in
which they were placed.

tanning the testimony relating to the
explosion that nearly killed Fred w.
Bradley at San Francisco is being
read in the Haywood case. the trial
o. which continued this morning. The
defense attached great importance to
the evidence given by seventeen San
, Francisco witnesses. The testimony
which tends to establish that the ex-
plosion was caused by gas is relied
upon by the defense to convince the
jury that Orchard lied when he said
he placed a bomb at Bradleys front
door November, 1904, and that he was
sent to kill Bradley by the officials
of the Western Federation of Miners.

Meneley Quartette Entertain an Ap-

A very delightful entertainment was

Chicago. The quartette has Travelled

here were along that line Mr.. Men
eley as a lecturer in between the mus
ical numbers is not Mark Twain or a
Daniel Webster. But the Quartette
can sing. There is no instrument like
the human voice; the ingenuity of man
in the making of cunning instruments
for music falls far short of the simple,
unadorned voice for true harmony. And
Shoshone has not heard such singing in
many day. There was not flaw in
it. With such music as this could the
sirens charm hearts of stone. The i'm
of Mr.. Ricketts, were re-
clever, and almost as pop

The Meneley company is one of five
high class attractions that will come
west in October, and they may make
Shoshone one of their stopping places.
If the others are as capable as this one,

CITY PARK ENDORSED.
ShOShOne People See Need of Pub
lie Play Ground.

Some little interest is being manifest
ed in the city over the question of a
city park. The success of the court
house park as a cool and shady place of
public resort has made the idea of a
city park more popular. The county
owns the court house grounds, and has
made it most attractive place. AS
the trees grow larger, and the shade
more dense and grateful, the luxury of
such place becomes the more entic-
ing. But the county owns the place.
and 1t might not always happen to be
at the disposal of the general public:
and that's just the time the city park
would come in handy.
1t is cinch that it will never again
be so easy to buy the property for
park as it is now. Property has in
creased very largely in the past year or
two, and it has only fairly begun to 90

ton projects get opened up in full

LAST OBSTACLE REMOVED
NOW READY FOR BUILDING
Change Made in the West Second
Street Viaduct Agreement to Suit
the Railroad Company-ActuaI
Work to Begin Soon.

The only obstacle in the way OF
building the viaduct over the West
Second street crossing by the Penn
sylvania company was removed yes
terday afternoon in conference be-
tween the members of the board of
works and }. l.. nupe, attorney of the
railroad The original agreement it
will be remembered was ratified by
the city council in December, and for
warded to the general counsel Of the
company. The agreement came back
to Mr.. Rupe the other day with the
statement that it would be acceptable
with the insertion of a, clause which
would require any traction or street
car company that might in the future
be granted the right to build a line
under the viaduct to bear the ex-
pense of such changes as might be
necessary in the crossings. AS there
will be 1872 feet between the street
and the proposed bridge the board
readily assented to the insertion of
the aforesaid clause, and that ended
the conference.
1t is understood that the company
will begin work on the new viaduct
without further delay.

BAND CONCERTS IN GLEN
A MOVEMENT FOR THEM
A Number of Progressive Citizens
Take up the Matter and Believe
They viii Be Able to Bring il to
Successful Conclusion.

There is movement on foot. and
the promoters thereof say that it will
be pushed with vigor among the bust
ness men of Richmond to add a new
feature to the attractions at Glen Mil
Ter park during the coming summer.
A number of progressive citizens have
come TO the conclusion that there
should be a band concert in this
beautiful breathing spot at least once
week. and they believe that they
will be able to raise a sum sufficient
to defray this expense between now
and the beginning of the heated term.
They anticipate a liberal contribution
for this purpose from the Richmond
Street Railway and Interurban com
pany, as this corporation would derive
great benefit therefrom
Such a movement should receive
the hearty support of the citizens gen
orally" said city official yesterday
in speaking of the matter. Weekly
band concerts are given in many
towns throughout the state that are
much smaller than Richmond, and VIC
should have them by all means AS a
matter of fact | have often thought
that it was pity that the various
municipalities could not legally set
aside fund for this purpose
