Sunday Crusade On in Earnest in Bay
State Metropolis.
BOSTON, Jan. 5.-The Sunday blue
law enforcement crusade in this city
is on in earnest. Most everyone
thinks it is ridiculous, but the police
department proposes to have the
courts determine what a man may
lawfully do on the Sabbath.
policemen went to the municipal
and districts courts and asked for sum-
onses for 500. There was never such
a scene in the courts of the city. In
all about 1900 summonses were is
sued. An idea of the extent of the
crusade may be had from the follow
ing list of persons who must stand
trial:
Thirty men who we're cleaning cars
in the Boston & Albany yards.
A South Boston woman who swept
the slush of her sidewalk.
A Back Ban man who cleaned the
windows of his house.
Out of the list Of 100 or more men
on the subway, summons
was granted for one foreman. This
will be a test case and will be bitterly
fought by the rapid transit commits
sion Trial of all the cases is awaited
with great interest.

Indian Arrested For Murder Com.
mitted -Four Months AGO
MADE BOLD STAND AGAINST POLICE
ANTOINE NEHEMIAH, FLATHEAD
RED MAN, SHOOTS TWICE AT
THE OFFICERS.

MISSOULA, Jan. 5-The details of a
tragedy enacted on the Flathead res
ervation more than four months ago
were made public yesterday when In
dian Agent Samuel Bellew brought
Antoine Nenemah, Flathead Indian,
to this city and placed him behind the
bars of the county Jail, there to await
a hearing On the charge of murder.
Nenemah is charged with the murder
of another Indian named Gabriel Nah
tab.
1t is alleged that during the course
of quarrel, which occurred Aug. 20
last, short distance from Roman, the
accused struck Nahtah in the head
with a heavy club, inflicting injuries
from which the latter died eight days
afterward. A post-mortem examina-
ton was held, which disclosed the fact
that Nahtahs skull had been frac-
tured.
The nature of the quarrel which re-
suited in the killing has not been
learned 1t is believed that it was a
drunken brawl. There were several
eye-witnesses, who will be summoned
at the preliminary examination.
Escapes Two Times.
Immediately following the flight

Nenemah disappeared. He was twice
arrested by the Indian police and es-
capped each time. Learning of his es-
cape. and feeling that there were per-
sons who would shield him, the officials
decided to pursue strategical course
to bring him to the bar of justice.
They made no further hunt for him,
believing that he would think he was
not wanted and would sooner or later
throw himself open to arrest.
The expected happened. A few days
ago the accused Indian ventured to
the settlement of ST. Ignatius to visit
with some relatives. The officials were
notified of his presence, and on Mon
day three Indian police went to the
house of Nenemah's relatives to place
him under arrest. When Nenemah
saw them coming he, in company with
his wife and a brother, fed to an out
house not far away.
Shoots at the Officer&
Nenemah was not caught eaSily, for
although the police pursued him close
", he shot at them twice before they
succeeded in capturing him. Luckily
neither of the shots took effect. The
prisoner was taken to the agency, and
was brought to the Jail here as soon
as possible.
Judge ]. l.. Sloane swOre to COM
plaint before United States Commits
sioner Wallace P. Smith early last
September, charging Nenemah with
murder. it being alleged that the
crime was committed wilfully, felon-
iously and with malice aforethought.
The accused will probably have a
hearing before the commissioner with
in a few days.

Americans popular in Japan. 1t is no
detraction of the public school sys-
tenn of that country that the masses
can not discern the difference between
an American and a European Re-
member how manv foreigners are
called by us Dutchmen, although they
may never have seen Holland. In ia
pan, American and European alike are
white men, and as such they don't
like us. They are civil, courteous
even, when we come as tourists and
buy their artistic limitations at fabu-
lous prices; nor are they impertinent
when we go to their country to teach
them something that will add to their
wealth or greatness; but racial antag-
onism prevails, and if the visitor has
the mental ability to look below the
surface, he can not fail to see the
false grin underneath the eternal
smile. No! l don't like the japanese.
What Japanese Can Do.
But have undertaken to tell what
Japan can do, In 1869, after the civil
war mentioned before, Japan's re-
sources were exhausted. The daimios
had purchased old sailing ships and
worthless steamers and stacks of dis
carded guns, and the respective
ministers held the big stick over the
government to make it pay their re-
spective subjects or citizens. Japan
bought mint, and began to issue
gold coin; it borrowed G10,OO0,OO
from the British at per cent and gave
its customs as security; as a result,
its foreign creditors secured a corner
on Mexican dollars, and, demanding
payment in that coin, raised the Mexi-
can dollar to 20 per cent premium over
gold. Japan has never forgotten-nor
forgiven-the sort of help she received
from some foreigners at the time of
her distress. The government ap-
pealed to the individual; industry,
thrift and strict economy displaced
national tendency toward jollification.
All classes labored to free the country
from this debt, which was paid hon
orably and to the last penny. AS
prosperity began to dawn upon the
country the surplus was devoted, first
to the army and coast defenses. At
that time the Japanese we're humble
Oh. they were so polite and friendly
to the foreign resident. They smiled
even when a thoughtless visitor would
make fun of their tiny army and its
lilliputian soldiers; but underneath
the smile there was considerable
gnashing of teeth.

AUTHER SAYS UNITED STATES. NOT
MENACED BY SUBJECTS Of M|KAD0

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 5.-R. Van Bergen,
the we'll known author and teacher,
who has spent most of his life in ia
pan, and who is at present on visit
to this country, has furnished the fol-
lowing statement of his views con-
corning the Japanese and their pur-
poses:
Il have been an eyewitness of ia
pans history since 1869. 1t was a
year prior to my arrival at Yokohama
that Japan abolished the fuedal sys-
tenn and shelved the autonomous dali
mics. This led to civil war, because
the shogun's (tycoon's) clans, the To-
kugawa. fought to retain the privil-
eyes enjoyed since 1904. At the time
of my arrival, August 26, 1869, the con-
test was decided, and the tenno's gov

Japan mikado if you want to make a
friend of a Japanese) was startling on
its experiments toward making the
country what it is now
Il have often been asked: DO you
like the Japanese?' My answer is,
and has been for the last Is years, a
most decided no! l admire them, and
if l were a Japanese l should be just
as proud of my country's achieve
ments as they are and have right to
be. But as l happen to be a Cauca-
sian, and know the sentiment prevail
ing among the Japanese toward our
race, / mistrust them. This senti,
ment, frankly expressed in the pa
pers for which l correspond, has been
often criticised. In 1895, just after
the war between Japan and China
was in Kobe, where l met Mr.. S., a
prominent and wealthy Chicagoan,
who had been visiting Japan four
weeks, and. Of course, knew the jap
anese better than l did from his own
observation l took him to the lake
or waterfall. and as we proceeded in
jinrikshas, we were here and there
greeted by shouts of Tojin! Tojinn
paid no attention the familiar sounds
until Mr.. SIS JlnrikiSha overlook me.
and its occupant exclaimed:

to render Japan safe from invasion;
it was completed in 1887, when the

it was completed in 1887, when the
Japanese dropped the mask of humil-
ity and gained the dislike of resident
foreigners by an increasing self-asser-
ton. By that time they had exper-
imented thoroughly upon onr habits
and customs; they dropped all those
which they regarded as useless, friv-
olous or expensive, while adjusting
such as were considered useful to their
own national life. Prepared for de-
tense, they began to take measures for
aggression by building navy as the
national treasury permitted. They had
enough of foreign loans; when money
was needed the people responded eag-
erly; the bonds, until 1898, were in
alienable to foreigners.
Doubted Army's Efficacy.
Meanwhile the shizoku, the samurai
of old Japan, began to doubt the eff
cacy of the new army 1t had been
drilled at first by French officers, and
later by Germans; but the Japanese
had secretly changed the tactics so as
to correspond to their own national
peculiarities. The last foreigner en-
ployed was Baron Won Winter, a col
onel of the imperial German staff. He
left in 1894, at the breaking out of the
war with China, and told me that
the Japanese staff was quite compe-
tent to measure swords with that of
any European power. The campaign
against China proved the correctness
of his views.
Il have not the space to enter into
the real causes of that war, although l
do not believe that they have been
told. Japan expected opposition from
Great Britain; Russia's action was as
unexpected as it was insulting. Japan
submitted, but with a fierce desire for
revenge. Preparations were begun at
once to humiliate the bear Colonel
Fukushima of the general staff rode
through Siberia for a wager, but
when he arrived at Toxic, the war de-
partment was in possession of reliable
data upon Russia's army, and the
means to reinforce it, as well as up
on the local resources. Silently and
secretly the preparations were COM
pleted. These preparations embraced
the safety of Japan's commerce and
industries. The world knows how &C.
curate they were.
Asia for the Asiatics.
Japan then, while asserting and pos
sessing a national pride border
ing upon vanity, is not likely to

Newspaper clamor has not the slight
est influence, because one single word
from the tenno (emperor). has the eff
feet of silencing it. My readers have
noticed this at the time when Japan

a complete change in the policy in
in 1868, and which has
proved completely successful. This
