MRS. A. B. MULLETT'S CLAIM.
Referred to Subcommittee by House
Committee on Claims.

The tragedy Of a suicide was recalled
to the House committee on claims today
when Representative Goldfogle of New
York made an earnest plea for the pay
ment to Mrs. Pacific Pearl Mullett. widow
Of Alfred B. Mullett, of $2.O62. due her as
Administrative Of her husbands estate
from the United States government. Mr..
Mullet was a member Of the commission
appointed some years ago to consider the
proposed sale of portions Of navy yard
lands. He was to receive in payment for
his services $4,000 and expenses He
signed in advance receipt for the entire
amount, according to government regula-
tons, and vouchers were given him. he
was in need Of immediate money and OBJ
tanned 1t from a bank on the strength OF
the vouchers. When they were turned
into the treasury for redemption 1t was
found that Congress had failed to appro-
pirate enough money to cover them The
bank called on Mr.. Mulett to make good
the difference Of 5000. Being unable TO
comply, he killed himself.
Mr. Goldfogle informed the committee
that the widow now stands in urgent need
of this money and that the Secretary or
the Navy has recommended its payment
also that a subcommittee of the claims
committee in a former Congress recon-
mended payment. The committee decuned
to act until the claim had been recon-
mended by a subcommittee, and, over
protest of Mr.. Goldfogle. 1t was referred.

Japan has intimated her Willingness to
consider this proposition
Baron HayaShi today assured China that
Japan would meet her desires regarding
supervision of the traffic in arms to Chi
nese territory. He agreed also to the Chi
nese proposal for the ultimate disposition
of the cargo of the Tatsu 'Maru. after
which he again set forth the final de-
mands of his government.
Japan Must Wait.
Influence had to be eXerted on Yuan
Shih Kai to get him to act in the matter.
The foreign board reiterateS its previous
statement that the matter cannot be set
tied without a. thorough investigation. The
yicerov Of Canton is opposing the punish
rnent of the Chinese naval commander
who boarded the TatSu Maru and lowered
the Japanese flag.
In view of the present status OF the ne
sotiations final action by Japan will OF
necessity have to be deferred for at least
two days.
Lectures Her Ally.
The French press. despite the Franco
Japanese entente. considers that the Jap
anese government has been brusque and
even high handed in its dealings with
China over the matter of the seizure or
the Tatsu Maru. The Temps In an edl-
torial points out that there has been eX-
tensive smuggling of arms to south
China. where there is widespread revo-
Iutionary agitation. the chief instigators
of which are students who have returned
from Japan. and excuses overanXiety on
the part of China under the circum-
stances.
Japan is playing the role of guardian
of China" says the Temps. but with
more sternneSS than benevolence. Evil
IDENTIFY Japan is incapable of pursuing
disinterested policy.
IF she really desires the reawakening
to education of China it is solely for her
own profit. The Picking government can
not fail to see this. and the resulting
frictions will not improve the Chino-Jap-
anese relations. By persevering in d too
selfish and abrupt policy Japan risks the
danger of disquieting Europe and arous-
ing more hatred than gratitude in China.

EVIDENCE WAS LACING.

Frank Dillon, the local chauffeur,
who was formerly assistant postmaster
at Kahului, was found not guilty OF
enlightenment in the Federal Court
this morning. The jury spent only
seven minutes in retirement to con-
slider the case. Judge Dole's instruc-
lions to the jury were to the effect that
unless, from the evidence, it was clear
ly shown that the crime had been com
mitted by Dillon, the circumstantial
evidence regarding the chance which
he had to commit the crime was not
to be regarded as showing his guilt.
This was very favorable to the case OF
the defence who showed that Dillon
was not the only man who might have
taken the money in question and
claimed that there had been no proof
shown that he had taken it.

1t is many long weeks since Homo

sweet notes, pleased very large au-
dience. The band is composed of TWEEN
ty pieces and is under the direction OF
Lieutenant Gree, whose work is most
highly to be recommended.
The musicians, who form the organ

part of the famous Chilean navy band
which created a great furore recently
at he review a Hampton Roads, on the
occasion of the opening of the John.
stown Exposition. 1t was universally
acknowledged at that time that there
were few bands in the world which
could compare with the Chileans. The
General Banquedano's band will b.
furnished with new instruments while
in Japan and should improve over it'
present excellent condition.
