1t is announced that w. ]. Bryan will

STATE BANKS MAY
ESTABLISH BRANCHES

Olympia, Aug. 8.-The supreme
court in an opinion holds that banks
incorporated under the state banking
law may establish branches.
The question as to the capitalization
and management of such branches is
not passed upon, the court holding
that this issue is not properly before It,
The decision is in case in which A.
C. Slumerfeld and other incorporators
Of the British American bank of ,Spo-
kane applied for writ of mandate to
compel State Bank Examiner A. w.
Engle to file their articles of incor-
poration. Engle had refused to file
the articles because they contained a
clause permitting the corporation to
establish banks in cities other than
Spokane.
The lower court issued a writ Of
mandate and the supreme court af
firms the decision, holding that the
authority given for establishing branch
banks as mentioned in the act does
not apply solely to foreign banks, as
was contended by the bank examiner.

OPINION OF
HOBSON'S WAR TALK

Washington, Aug. 8.-Advices re-
ceived at the state department from
Iokio state that the Japanese press
has finally awakened to the war
splurge recently made in this country
by Representative Richmond Pearson
Hobson. The Nipponese journalists
have made their criticisms in very ar
tistic fashion, according to these re-
ports.
The Japanese Chronicle, for exam
pie, after calling attention to the fact
that Hobson was once very friendly to
the Japanese, dates the beginning of
his present antipathy from the time
when he lectured before the members
Of the Kobe Young Mems Christian
Association on the duty of loving ones
enemies, and his auditors all went to
sleep during the progress of his ad-
dress.
Can it be possible" queries the JAP
anese scribe, that the estimable, hon
Ored gentleman should have become
incensed to fury warlike at so un-
thoughtless behavior by Nippon's
sons?"

ADMIRAL SPERRY WELCOMED
BY AUCKLAND OFFICIALS

Auckland, Aug. 10.-Cloudy weather
Sperry, commander in chief of the
United States Atlantic fleet, and his
officers to the official welcome to Aus
tralian waters at the hands of Prime
Minister Sir Joseph George Ward on
behalf of the government. The land
ing was made at the newly erected
pavilion at the foot of Queen street,
the city's principal thoroughfare, at
the shore end of which an deliberately
decorated stand had been erected for
the reception.
Immense crowds thronged the
streets and the verandas and roofs of
houses adjacent were moving masses
of humanity.
It was a great reception and un-
bounded enthusiasm prevailed. In his
address Sir. Joseph eulogized Presi-
dent Roosevelt as representing the
best traditions of the common blood
of civilization.
In an interview Admiral Sperry said
the cruise of the fleet from San Fran
cisco had effected a great improve
ment in the active work of the men.
The economy learned in coaling made
possible trips hitherto not possible,
and he could now steam from Honolu-
lu to Sydney without coaling. The ad-
miral added that splendid results had
been attained in tactical work and
gunnery during the cruise.
The United States repair ship Pan
Their and the tender Yankton arrived
here today.
