TO DO AWAY

AS a result of a conference held
Immediately after the state medi-
cal board adjourned at the city
hall last evening, the QUIZ
Masters association institution at
Seattle is likely to be abolished.
AS pointed out yesterday, it comes
too close to seeming to represent
the board of medicine, with which
it has no official connection. The
conference last evening here was
somewhat heated in spots, the Sc
attic members being under the i'm
preston that reflections had been
cast on their professional integrity
This was not the attitude of the
board, and after the matter had
been gone over DR.. Eagleson, pres
ident of the state board, stated that
he would request the abolition OF
the "quiZz" or see that ii was re-

quarters of the state board.
The principal objection is that
the quiz masters take classes al
500 per head for six weeks eX
animation, whereas the state board
is supposed to examine doctors as
a part of their official duty. If the
quizz examination passes an APP
plicant and the state board fails tC

JAPS CLASS u. S. SOLDIERS WITH
THE CHINESE AND RUSSIANS
BY e. S. WRIGHT
Special Correspondence to The Presi

Special Correspondence to The Press
TOXIC, Jan. 10-Let no one
think that the talk of a Japanese.
American war is pipe dream. The
great mass of the islanders have
no conception of the vast natural
resources of the United States, and
they look upon our navy with con-
tempt and think if we have an
army that it is little better than a
Chinese horde and as easily to be
dispersed as the brigades of the
Russians.
Those among the masses of the
Japanese who know a little more
about our great wealth covet 1t and
really expect to land some day and
eat the fat of America and drink
the sweet which is no part today
of the Japanese diet.
The ruling classes in Japan, that
Is the mobiles and rich commoners,
who represent only per cent OF
the population, do not want war
now, because they know Japan's
war chest is empty and her credit
is so low that she could not Dor
row as she did during the Russian
war.
Still public sentiment in Japan.
nodded by Japanese yellow presst
is almost as strong as in America.
Even the coolies and ginrick-
shaw men read their native papers
daily and Japan can be aroused by
great events in an hour as the
United States can through the me-
dunn of the public press.
While controversy with America
will be prevented if possible by the
so-called ruling classes, they may
find they cannot stem the tide of
public clamor. Then there will be
war. Japan will harass us, per-
haps for years, until we have or
ganized into great military
power.
Character, as occidentals under
stand it, that is the rigid paying of
spiritual and material debts, is al
Greek to the Japanese.
Their lack of character in com
mercial dealings will perhaps de-
stroy them in 20 years, whether
there is war or not. Even in japan
all big counting houses, hotels aid
factories hire Chinese to handle the
cash.
Japan has always been merciless
toward its human beasts of burden

it spared the children.
Commercial greed is forcing the
women and children of today from
the comparatively healthful work
of the fields to the cotton factories
and sugar mills. These are

DRAPER PASSES DATE
SET FOR KILLING

Harry Draper, Of bloodhound
fame, Is breathing easier this week
on account of its being past the
eighth of the month, which was the
day set for his murder as predicted
in a note found pinned in a back
room of a Cheney saloon, For three
days last week Draper did not go
to his room in the Granite block
and when the police learned of 1t
they at once began search and
inquiry for him because there was
a possibility that the threat might
have been carried out although at
the time of the finding of the note
1t was joked about But Draper
showed up at police headquarters
and informed the officers that he
had been out of town.

STOPS GUN SALES
Police Of City Put End to lndis.
criminate Sale Of Weapons
Here for the Present
FIFTY MEN SEARCHED TUESDAY

Regulations for the sale of revolvers
knives, black jacks, brass and steel
knuckles and in fact all dangerous wea-
pons are demanded by an order which is
being sent to all hardware dealers as
well as dealers in sporting goods in the
city by Chiefaof Police O'Hare and in
the future the police department will
have a close inspection over the sale
Of such weapons.
In the last thirty days it is claimed
that more than fifty revolvers have
been sold in Kenosha and it is feared
that these weapons have largely gone
into the hands Of irresponsible persons.
The report that certain classes were
arming themselves forced the police
yesterday toastart on a tour of search
ing and during the afternoon more than
fifty men were searched for weapons
but none found.
The order from the chief Of the de-
partment to the dealers in this class
OF goods, demands that in the future
the dealers shall take the names and
addresses of every man, woman and
boy purchasing weapon Of any of the
classes named above and that the police
shall at once be notified of the sale Of
the weapon. in this way the police
will be enabled to keep in close touch
with all armed men in the city. Chief
Q Hare in speaking Of the matter to-
day said. cit is the plan Of this order
to stop the indescriminate carrying Of
revolvers and other dangerous weapons
in Kenosha. 1t is getting to be some
thing awful and we have received in
formation which leads us to believe that
weapons are being sold to many people
who are menaces to the community and
it is absolutely necessary that the police
office keep trace Of these weapons [
believe that most of the dealers will
abide by this order but if they do not
we shall find way to stop this sale Of
guns and knives Regular stocks of
these weapons have been displayed in
certain windows of the city and this
will be stopped. I believe that these
displays are decidedly harmful to the
boys Of the city and I am going to do
all | can to put an end to it.
This action on the part of the police
has been urged by the officials Of the
Circuit Court as well as by many Of
the officials of the city and county.
