indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 21.-Perhaps
the most eloquent speech President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers ever made in his life, was this
afternoon when he declined to accept a
personal gift of $4,000 rendered him by
the miners of Montana and Wyoming
as a token Of their appreciation OF
President Mitchells efforts to make
their condition better. AS he spoke,
irving to check his emotion, tears came
to his eyes.
''Giye 1t to Mrs. Mitchell and the
children" he said. trembling with emo
ton. Big, hardy miners shed tears
with him.
Thomas Gibson, President of the
Montana miners, had come to the plat
form carrying a draft for $4,000. He
said the draft was backed by smaller
amount which would bring the amount
up 20 S2,700.
1--WE do not come with a loving cup"
he said. but we feel it is our duty to
give some testimony of our apprecia-
ton of what President Mitchell has
done for us"
Then President Mitchell arose. As
he spoke he seemed ready to break
down.
Gentlemen of the Convention" he
said. land particularly the miners of
Montana and Wyoming. 1 cannot ex-
plain to you how l appreciate this ex-
preston of good will and confidence in
me. I don't know what to dol don't

take it back and give 1t to the men
who sent 1t here and feel sure they
would know l appreciate their conf
dence as much as though they had CIV
enme as many millions as they have
hundreds. l would feel better about it.
II prefer that you take the money
back, but if you cannot do that with =
out danger of giving offense to the
good people who sent 1t to me, then
send 1t to Mrs. Mitchell and let her use
1t to educate our boys"
The draft will be sent to Mrs. Mitch

Custom Officers Make Search of Theo~
dOre ShOnt's Home.
New York. jan, 21--Dutiable goods
valued at between $1,000 and $500
upon which no duty was paid until
they were brought in from Europe
by Mrs. Theodore p. Shonts and her
daughter, were found by customs Of
ficials who made q search in the
Shont's residence yesterday.
This statement was made today by
a representative of Mrs. Shonts who
had been advised of the result OF the
investigation. 1t was at the time how
ever, that no effort at concealment
had been made when the family ar
rived. that the twenty trunks which
they brought in were thoroughly ex-
amined by the customs officials at that
time and the only reason duty was not
paid was because none had been as"
sessed.
In the statement given out today, It
is said that the report to the customs
officials was made in a spirit of spite
by a woman servant who had been dis
charged for cause. and Mr. Shosts re-
CARDS the report as proved by yester-
days investigation to have been un-
founded.

AS TO EMIGRATION
HAYAsHr GIVES OUT A
LONG INTERVIEW.


Toxic, Jan. 21--viscount Hayashi
Japanese Minister Of Foregn Affairs.
in an interview given out today, made
a statement concerning the emigration
question which may be considered as an
ofaciai declaration Of the attitude Of
the government.
Minister Hayashi said:
THE government of Japan Is deter
mined to investigate the personal
standing of those who go to America
as students. requiring two sufeties be-
fore they leave. The government real
ICES that the emigration Of 1aborers
pretending to be students is liable to
be embarrassing to America, and there
fore we are determined to prevent the
migration of laborers.
while the proposed restrictions may
be embarrassing to real students. all
legal restrictions win be made alike
because one dishonest person may en-
barrass many who are honest.
although the negotiations with
America have not yet been concluded,
may make the definite statement as
Minister of Foreign Affairs that the
rumors which have been circulated to
the effect that any question Is pend
ing between America and Japan. is a
fabrication. originating in a certain
section of the United States.
SHOULD emigration to Hawaii not
be prevented entirely. the Minister of
Foreign Affairs will not hesitate to
prohibit entirely Japanese emigration
to those sections. The foreign ONCE in
tends to prohibit emigration to Mexico.
Those who desire to send enaisrapts
into Mexico will be regarded as assist
ing emigrants to enter the United
States through the frontier, and there
fore they win be treated as law bleak
ers.
sResolutions condemning the gov
ernment's attitude are unfair because
we have adopted definite policy and
any agitation on our part VIII intensi-
fy suspicion in the United States and
result to our disadvantages The con-
sideration of our commercial inter-
ests would justify our policy in regard
to foreign relations. Its misconcep-
ton by politicians is disadvantageous
to our state. Our present policy Is
fully justified from the standpoint of
the fundamental principles of inter-
national relations"
