SENSATION OVER DECISION.
Chicago Judge Relieves Prisoner Of
Penalty Because Of Drunkenness.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. December 3.-Municipal Judge
John G.. Scovel today. in the Maxwell
street Court, discharged negro prisoner
accused of entering the room of a young
woman and choking her until he was
frightened off by a great Dane dog. The
defense of the man was that he was so
drunk he did not know what he was doing.
AS there Is nothing to indicate that the
man ever had been arrested before. the
court held it piece to exercise Glenn
ency. News that a judge on the bench
had held drunkenness a sufficient excuse
for crime caused small-sized sensation
about the municipal court building, and
much speculation was INDUCED in with
regard to the value of such a precedent.
It was pointed out that the decision was
directly contrary to the statutes of IL
linois.

Not In Nature Of a Recall.

At the Japanese embassy it is declared
that the return of Count Aoki must not
be regarded as in the nature of a recall
because of any dissatisfaction with him,
but that, on the contrary. the home gov
ernment is satisfied with his administra-
ton. During the past summer when the
Japanese agitation was at its height
there were frequent reports that japan
was dissatisfied with Aoki's course It,
managing affairs in Washington, but this
the ambassador denied.
AT the State Department today the
statement was made emphatically that the
return of Aoki did not Indicate any RIM
ture between Japan and the United States
or any interruption of the good feeling
existing between them. Secretary Root
would not discuss the reAurn of Aok, in
any way. Early in June Count Aoki was
anxious to make a visit to his country

TO REPORT ON SITUATION
Not an Indication of Dissatisfaction
With Him.
Is NOT LIKELY TO COME BACK
Believed That He Will Spend the
Rest Of His Days in His
Native Country.

Amba dor Aoki has been summoned to
Japan by his government to explain per-
sonally' and in detail the precise situatio /
In this country in regard to the Japanese
immigration problem. The ambassador
has been making very careful inquiry on
his own account and through the various
Japanese consular officers into the extent
of the reported race feeling existing In
some sections of the United States toward
japanese immigrants. Already Baron
Ishii. one Of the secretaries of the jap
anese interior department, has made an
investigation of conditions existing not
only in California, Oregon and Washing
ton. but also in British Columbia, on the
north. upon which he has based a special
report to his government.
Purpose Of Japan.
But it is believed that the purpose of
the Japanese government In summoning
Viscount Aoki to Toxic is to secure from
him information which Baron Ishii could
not possibly have acquired during his
short stay in America regarding the at
titude Of the administration here with
particular reference to the measures
which have recently been applied by the
Japanese government to restrict the de-
coolie element. The Japanese government
also desires prudent forecast of the
likelihood OF congressional action In the
direction of legislation providing for the
exclusion Of Japanese immigration.
Not Dissatisfied With Aoki..
'The fact that the ambassador is 60
ing back to japan has absolutely no bear
ing upon the relations between the United
States and Japan," declared Mr.. Miyaoka,
the counselor of the embassy, today in dis
cussing the summons which the ambas.
sador has received to return to Japan
In authoritative circles the positive
statement is made that Niscount Aoki's
instructions are not such as to indicate
that the government of Japan is in any
way dissatisfied with what he. has done
or that 1t in any way disavows his ac-
tiOnS while here.
He is going to Japan for consultation
with the ruling authorities there to dis
cuss such matters as are not readily ex-
planned at great detail in the official cor
respondence between the embassy and the
foreign office. These matters are eognate
with Immigration. which question, it is
said. is practically settled by the willing
ness of Japan to throw around the issu-
ing of passports such restrictions as will
satisfy the United States government that
Japan Is exerting it's best efforts to COM
ply with the wishes of President Roose-
welt in the matter of prohibiting the inn
migration Of Japanese coolies to the
United States.
