UPSET POLITICAL PLANS.
Ohio Legislature May Enact New
Primary Law.

COLUMBUS. o., Jan. 7.-Members
Of the house are quietly being urged
to pass the Huffman primary cleo
ton bill, which two years ago passed
the senate, but was held up In the
house. The Huffman bill provides fer
the nomination of county officers and
election of county committeeman at
primaries provided for by the board of
elections, but makes no provision for
the election of delegates to any con-
vention. If the Huffman bill should
be passed and take effect before Feb
ruary II, it would nullify the call is
sued by the republican state conven
ton for a state primary at which the
republicans of Ohio are expected to
express their preference, for candi-
date for the presidential nomination
by repeating the Bronson primary law
under which the call for a state pri-
mary was issued. The multiplying of
the state committees call would result
in delaying both the state primary and
state convention, as a new call would
have to be issued.

REMEMBER THE BICYCLE LAW.
Seven Offenders of the Bicycle Ordi-
nance Brought In.

nance OTou9nS IN.
Last night and this morning made
good picking for the bfcyCIe officer
and no less than seven offenders were
brought in by officer Cashatt all but
one of whom forgot to get lamp
before riding on the sidewalk
At 4:30 the fun began and Louis
Torrey was brought in for violation of
the law at Thirteenth and Moore
streets. Next came Lorenne Huntz,
who forgot to put on a light. At Z
o'clock the officer came in again with
a man named Willis, who gave no
first name. At 7:3O, DR.. F. C. Rob-
inson was picked up without a head
light Business rested until this morn
ing. when at $50 Henry Armbrus-
ter, Peter Kindfeather and Henry
Frank were caught without the ne
cessary light to their paths.
There has been a tendency for some
time to disregard the bicycle ordi-
nances but sooner or later the officers
will get the offenders. The city is too
large to get everyone at his first Of
fense but the strong arm of the law
will fall heavily sooner or later, so the

JAPAN WOULD TAKE OFFENSE
Attempted Exclusion Will Provoke
Insult, Says Aoki.

PARIS, Jan. THE newspapers
continue to give much space to the
American Japanese situation. The
papers print an alleged interview with
Count Aok, the retiring ambassador
Of Japan at Washington, in which he
is quoted from San Francisco as say
ing Japan would consider as an Of
fensive action any attempt on the part
of the United States to exclude the
Japanese and take this as text, for
long articles. Viscount AOki's denial
of this interview has not yet been pub
lished here. Lacking this denial. the
Journal Desbats thinks that in his in
terview Count Aoki has placed his
fingers on the real danger spot.
Japan refuses to admit that any
where on the globe the Japanese are
socially inferior to any other people
says the paper. Japan claims to have
won the absolute right to be treated
as great power everywhere, and un-
der all circumstances
In the opinion of Eclair, if the two
governments accede to the sentiments
of the people and the logical necessity
of the situation, conflict would ap-
pear very imminent. But Japan is
without money. America is not ready
and we shall doubtless see both nations
champ at their bits awhile longer"
The Gaulois believes that the friend
ly and tactful powers at Washington
will prevent a break. 1t fears only
that the American people may become
excited. Baron Karuino, the japanese
ambassador to France, today gave out
a statement that he was convinced
that Viscount Aoki only meant tnat
Japan would consider legislation Of
fensive to Japan as, for instance. If an
exclusion act is proposed like the Chi

RIGHT HASKELL BINGHAM EASY
MONEY COMBINATION CLIP
PED IN IT'S PRIME.

Cut short in his career of a get
rich quick man. Bingham, alias, j. H.
Haskell alias E. ]. Right, is in the
county Jail awaiting the outcome of
his three days strenuous life as a
confidence man.
Giving his name as f. J. Right, it is
alleged he went to the Davis-Kaser
store last Saturday and bought stove
on the installment plan, paying So
down. The balance was to be made
in payments later. He gave his ad-
dress as 420 w. Main street and to
that place the stove was sent.
7 However. housekeeping did not ap-
peal to Mr.. Right and yesterday he
called at the YOudovitch second hand
store on East Main street and. sold It
after a possession of but two: days. in
fact before he became at all attached
to it. There he is said to have told
a pitiful story of how he. had been
working in Spokane but had burned
out and was just beginning to furnish
his house anew, when the o. r. & ~
company, for whom he said he worked.
telegraphed him orders to come to
Walla Walla and take a run out Of
this place. His name he said was J.
II. Haskell and his occupation was
that Of a railroad engineer. His story
worked and YoudOvitch paid the man
$12 for the stove. which was almost as
good as new and which had cost him
$50 two days before.
YOudovitch gave the supposed Has
kel a check for $12 in payment for
the stove fnd put the stove in his
stock. The get-rich-quick steerer
went Immediately TO the Muntinga
Grocery store on West Main street.
where he purchased 80 cents worth
of potatoes and other household sup
