Thought To Be Japanese Spies.

San Francisco CAL, Jan 27.-The Call to-
DAY says: Bullets, fred with deadly intent
by National Guard sharpshooters early yester-
day, frustrated second attempt to rob the
armory Of Companies X and M, Fifth Infan-
try, National Guard. In the building, which is
located at Buchannon and Walter streets, are
kept valuable military maps of San Frncis-
co.'s coast defense and Typographical plans
Of the peninsula.
That the attack on the building was not
burglars ordinary operation seems apparent
from the persistency Of the mysterious visl-
tors. Early Saturday morning and again in
the darkness of Sunday morning two men tried
to gain an entrance into the premises.
The authorities are working on the theory
that Japanese spies were seeking to gain en-
trance to the secrets Of the armory-Nash-

Asks Congress to Return Cotton Tax.
Washington.-In advocating the return to
the several states of the cotton tax collected
during and subsequent to the Civil War, Mr..
Clark, democrat, Of Florida, in the house yes
terday said he urged this action not as an act
of charity to the South, but Of naked, even

tax has been denounced by the supreme court
as unconstitutional and illegal, and it was for
that reason that he had asked and would con-
tinue to ask congress to refund the money col
lected to its rightful owners or to the states.
Eight millions of the money would go to the
northern states and sixty millions to the
southern.-Augusta Herald.
Wireless May Have Circled Globe.
Washington, Jan. 27.-That wireless mes
sage from Admiral Evans flagship, Connect
iCut, may have encircled the globe is suggest
ed in a statement made to the House Naval
Committee by Rear Admiral Cowles, chief Of
the Bureau Of Equipment
The message was sent when the Connecticut

picked up accurately by the station at Point

general public thought it was a fake, but the
fact was duly VERIFIED said Admiral Cowles.

Indian Veterans Protest.
It is reported from johannesburg, Transvaal,
that 116 Indian ex-soldiers who acted as hos
pital bearers and the like during the Boer
war have sent petition to the Earl of Elgin,
England's secretary Of state for the colonies,
protesting against the gross insult to them IN

served The offensive regulation referred to
was one compelling natives of India to furnish
finger prints and other means Of Identified

been sentenced to two and three months I'M

Kill This Bill.
The Aldrich measure for currency tinker
ing is altogether vicious. Far better no legis-
lation than step the result Of which will be
increased speculation and more frequent pan
ic. The root cause Of the present disturbance
is the over-extension Of credits, the specula-
tive business spirit, that for several years has
led the clearest observers to foretell disaster.
The proposition fathered by the distinguished
Senate boss is perhaps intended to pass. Some
banks may like it-naturally, since it promises
escape, on imitation principles, from the penal
ty for still more speculation. What we most
need is a check upon Overexpanslon IN prosper
ity. What the Aldrich bill offers is an in
ducement to banks to drive their liberal meth
DDS further still, in ostrich-like assurance, up
en- scheme for making the ultimate collapse
easy when it comes. If Congress is unequal
to its duty Of creating fundamental improve
ment in the currency, it would better forget
the subject altogether. Therein, at least,
it will refrain from adding to troubles already
burdensome enough. And, of course, these OBJ
jections to the Aldrich bill would hold as we'll
against any other plan which arranged for ex-
pansion in trouble and did not arrange for any
better regulation in times Of prosperity and
confdence.-Collier S Weekly.
Japs Buying More Cordite.
London, Jan. 28.-The Japanese Government
is still shipping large quantities Of cordite
from England to Japan The Government
steamship Slawentseitz is now anchored off
Holehaven, near the mouth of The Thames,
taking on a full cargo Of cordite. This has
caused comment in insurance circles.
The explosive is made by the Kynoches, the
famous Birmingham firm of manufacturers
Of war materials. AS usual with cargoes des-
tined for the japanese Government, no port
is stated in the Slawentseitz charter.-N. Y.

Night Riders Burn Barns.
Adairsville KY, Jan. 29.-Night Riders
burned two large barns on the farm of Jess
Burr, one mile west of here, last midnight.
The barns contained a small lot of tobacco
belonging to Pres Strickland, a cropper of
Burr, who is not member Of the Dark To-
bacco Growers Protective Association.
