Japanese Are Disausted.

Toklo.-The report from Washing
ton attributing the proposed sending
Of sixteen battleships to the Pacific
coast to Admiral Dcwey's private plan.
is generally disbelieved here by those
whose knowledge and experience en-
title their opinion to some attention.
The United States is not known to
possess naval bases In the Pacific ade-
quate for such purpose and the impres.
sion prevails that the sending OF so
large squadron where sufficient rem
devious does not exist would simply
mean that the vessels would be an
easy prey to torpedo boats and destroy
ers.
Should sixteen battloships be so EN-,
ployed as to dlsproye this impression
a record.breaking naval feat will have
to be accomplished.

FORECAST OF HAYWOOD TRIAL.
Present Week viii Bring but Little
New Evidence.

Boise, Idaho.--The better part of
this week will be taken up with the
evidence of the defense. Amdavits
bearing on Orchards alleged attempt
to blow up Fred Bradley in San Fran
cisco, will be read. They will, of
course contradict the multi-murderer.
An expert will then be put on the
stand to swear that ten pounds of dy-
Mantle, the amount Orchard claims to
have used on the Bradley lob" would
have blown his intended victim to
atoms and would have wrecked the
house. Attorney ]. c. Robertson of
Spokane. will testify concerning the
mysterious telegram signed M" sup
posed to have been sent by Robert
sons law partner, Fred Miller, TO Or
chard. He will contradict the states
theory. Incidentally he will swear that
Jack Simpkins warned him of Or
chard's plan to kidnap the Paulson
children, Robertson was Paulson's at
tOrney,
Then the defense will produce an ex-
act duplicate of the box said to have
been unearthed at the gate leading to
the house of Judge Goddard In Den
ver, and the prosecution will be asked
10 squeeze forty sticks of dynamite
into the receptacle. The defense Sc
cured its information concerning the
box from the states witnesses. and is
prepared to demonstrate that Judge
Goddard and the other witnesses were
very much in error when they testified
about the amount of powder they re-
moved from It,
Senator Borah has secured strong
evidence for rebuttal. A number of
prominent citizens of Colorado are
here TO testify for the prosecution con
cerning conditions in Telluride. .Trini-

Telluride, arrived tonight and Joined

the militia and members of the Citi-
zens' Alliance during the Colorado
trouble, and like Lord Give. will

out here that the indictments returned
by the recent federal grand jury will
be made public the day the Haywood

Borah will be taken into custody, and

PLAYMATEs HID UNDER WATER
Ptful Story Of How Three Children
Found Watery Graves.

Fort Collins. Colo.-Willie Fortune,
a siXteen-yearold boy, while strug-
Cling desperately to rescue his thir-
teen-year.old sister and her compan-
ion, Eva McCarty, aged awelve, who,
while wading in Curtis lake, got into
deep water, was carried under to his
death and with him went the two girls.
1t Is believed that one of the girls
stepped into a hole where the water is
ten feet deep and the other went TO
her rescue. Neither of them could
swim and when the brother went to
their aid the girls grabbed him and
rendered him helpless, the three going
to the bottom.
The children. with consent of their
mother, went to the lake at . O'Clock
and shortly before noon. Tootsie, a
four-yearold daughter of Mrs. Fortune,
walked into the house crying and said
that her brother and sister had hid and
would not let her play. She was in
sistent that her mother compel the
other children to allow her to join in
the play, and led her toward the lake.
The mother. thinking that the other
Children were hiding from the baby, ac-
companied the child and. when in sight
of the water, the little one pointed TO
the lake and said that her brother and
sister We're hiding under the water and
would not come ont when she called
| them.
The mother. terror stricken, ran
| down TO the bank of the lake. where
| she found the dresses of the girls and
, their hats. She then ran back to the
house and gave the alarm.
A boat was secured and the bodies
| found close together under ten feet of
water. The girls had donned overalls
| like the brother for wading in the
Iake. The bodies were brought to the
surface and brought to town. The
| browning of the girls is particularly
sad affair. as the mother. who was en-
ployed as housekeeper for II. d. Clark,
| a young ranchman. loved her children
and frequently remarked that they
were all she had TO live for. She is a
| woman of refinement.
Some months ago Mrs. Fortune Sc
cured a divorce from Dave Fortune
and was given the custody of the chill

CHINESE THREATEN UNCLE SAM.
ill-Wlll Of Four Hundred Million Peo
pie Result of Exclusion Law.

Mexico City.-The most aggressive
utterance that has come from the pen
of Chinese concerning the United
States exclusion act is a document
written by Kong Yu Wei, the leader
of the Chinese reform movement. who
recently left this city for New York.
The letter was written to President
Roosevelt, seeking to enlist the Presi-
dents aid in a revision of the present
laws. Just before leaving the city
last week Kong Yu Wei gave to the
Daily Record, an afternoon paper pub
lished here, a copy of this letter, and
authorized its publication today. Mr..
Kong says:
TOO rigid enforcement of the eX-
clusion laws have brought about the
ill-will of 100000 people. A united
Chinese nation will seek to assert its
rights and avenge its wrongs. Its
anger will be vented in ways that
dread to think Of
THE time will come when small
spark will start an uncomfortable con
iagration and the friendly ties be
tween our people be severed beyond
remedy. Americans have been wont
to condemn Russian cruelty toward the
Jews. How much more humane has
been Americas treatment of the Chin
ese?
Can civilized America reconcile
such treatment of their fellow crea-
lures with divine law? Courtesy and
kindness should be reciprocal. but
what difference between the treat
ment Americans receive in China and
that accorded Chinese in America"
Among the notifications he sug-
gests TO the exclusion law is the aboi-
ishment of the Objectionable features
of Identification. such AS the photo
graph and the body marks; that no re.
striction as TO ports of entry be made; F;
that certificates issued to Cinnamon
by Chinese chambers of commerce and
indorsed by American consuls should
entitle Chinese TO free entry, He asks
that the same laws apply in the Phil.
ippines and Hawaii.

with questions regarding the financial
strength and the business methods of
the corporation of which he is tho

express purpose Of determining
