AP LEADER THREATENS WAR.
Tani Urges Appeal to Arms-PIan Of
the Progressives.

Toxic. June 10. - Viscount Tani,
leader of the opposition in the house
of peers, and head of the defense of
Kumamoto in the Satsuma rebellion,
is reported to have said anent the
American question::
'The persecution of the Japanese in
San Francisco is a most wicked act.
Should diplomacy fail to bring about
satisfactory solution the only way
open to us is an appeal to arms Our
mind is firmly made up. It is certain
that America will yield, for it's people
are radically commercial in their SEN
timent"
Washington, June 10.-That the
Japanese of the Pacific coast and the
progressives, political party Of
Japan, have entered into an alliance
which has the earmarks of an inter-
national conspiracy, with the over
throw of the present ministry in
Japan and the annulment of the clause
in the immigration bill excluding
Japanese coolie labor from continen-
tai United States as the ultimate OBJ
jects, was learned authoritatively here
Sunday.
The preliminary steps in this
scheme, it is said, will be to induce
the Toxic government to recall Wis
count Aoki, the Japanese ambassador
to the United States, and to demand
an apology and perhaps an indemnity
from this government for the alleged
acts of violence against Japanese sub
jects residing in San Francisco
With this end in view, representa-
tiyes of the faction hostile to the Sal
onji ministry have been in Washing
ton to consult with the Japanese am
bassador and the state department
officials regarding the Objectionable
clause in the immigration bill, the
California school question and the re-
cent riots in San Francisco. The re-
port which they have sent to Toxic,
it is alleged, wiz form the basis of a
systematic campaign to bring about
anti-American demonstrations in
Japan and to force Foreign Minister
Hayashi, if possible, to demand in
demnity and an apology on account of
the disturbances in San Francisco.

RHODE ISLANDS WOMAN JAILER.
Care OF Institution Has Been In Her Family
Almost One Hundred Year,.
From the Providence Journal.

Down In the quaint DID village OF East
Greenwich. where the ancient penal institu-
ton oficially known az the Kent County Jail
dozes laEily near the shore Of the bay, Mrs.
Evelyn @. Smith holds the unique position
OF jailer and has the distinction Of being the
only woman at the head Of an institution Of
this sort In the New England States.
The Kent County jail was erected about
100 years ago, and for the greater part Of
that time has been handed down In Mrs.
Smiths family like an ancient heirloom.
IL n the only home that the present keeper
has ever known, and In spite Of the seeming
~incongruity Of her Sex and position. she
enjoys the work and thus far has experienced
less trouble with unruly prisoners than have
men In similar positions.
Tho jail consists Of q large two and O half
story house Of the borlike type that IL found
ali over Rhode island az landmarks Of q
century ago. In the rear OF the old fashioned
house 10 q large wing constructed Of brick.
which contains the cells, The wing was
built about seventeen year, ago and took the
place Of q frame structure Of the same size
and shape.
Mrs. Smith owes her present position to
an incident that happened In the haEy his
tory Of sixty-nve years ago. Az that time
the Kent County Jail was placed In charge
Of Earl Place, q granduncle OF Mrs. Smith.
He held the title for q couple Of years, when
IL was phbeou blOnG 70 nh DToJntI, JOtuhn
Place, who was Mrs. Smiths grandfather.
When he died his son. John 8. Place. inherited
his property and the title Of oficial Jailer.
John q, Place, Mrs. Smiths father, retained
the title during his lifetime. with the ex-
ception OF a few years. when he travelled
for hishealth. and thus II was that the present
keeper became acquainted with the duties at
o very early age.
His daughter was united In marriage with
lothian 8. Smith. and when her father died
thirty-nve years ago her husband was APP
pointed TO succeed him. He held the posi-
ton for eight years, and as there were no.
more male heirs 10 the title II was thought
that Il would pass out Of the family.
soon after her husband died Mrs. Smith
began TO make preparations TO remove from
what had always been her home. when she
was approached by the oficiAls OF Kent
county and requested TO assume charge OF
the place on her own responsibility. DIR
Ing the falling health OF her husband she
had practical control OF the Jail. and the
county ofncialH expressed the belief that
With her intimate knowledge Of the needs
Of the Institution ehe would be able 70 direct
lte Affairs better than q man who lacked the
knowledge and experience, She consented
70 the Arrangement and since that time has
had sbsolute control Of all that pertains 70
