Of Women Workers was he'd at the New
Willard Hotel hast night. beginning at
o'clock. Mrs. Henry Ollesheimer presid-
ing. 1t was rather a family gathering
than one to interest the general public.
yet there were several incidents which
served to indicate the good that is being
accomplished by the organisation and
the methods which guide 1t.
Mrs. Ollesheimer in her parting address.
alluded to the splendid time the delegates
had enjoyed in Washington: to the gen.
erous hospitality that had been shown on
all sides: to the honor done the league by
the four distinguished speakers who had
addressed the members Friday. and to
the fact which, she. said. had been en-
phasized by those speakers. each in his
own way. namely. that this country Of
fered woman better opportunity than
does any other All this. except the last.

the power. the influence OF cooperation.
which is the leagues watchword.
This, too. was emphasized in the ad-
dress of Miss Jean Hamilton, the league S
sorry way what had been done by the
league in the past and what 1t hoped to
accomplish in the future, admonished the
members to work together for their own
advancement ana the upllIt OI tIe WOIh-
ing women of America.
ITO Have and to Share" she said. us
the leagues motto" and she urged those
who had been fortunate enough to par
ticipate in the present session to share
1t. as far as they can, when they got
home, with those members who had not
been so fortunate. The spirit of mutual
helpfulness was the pervading theme OF
each OF the lady presidents Of the state

Hard Times Noted at Yale.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, May effects
of the industrial depression have been
disclosed in the bureau OF self help of
Yale University by the considerably de-
creased number of applicat ons from per-
sons seeking the work of students during
the summer vacation. There has also
been an increase of the number of appli-
cations from the senior class of the sci
entif1c school for places as teachers. This
suggests that outside applicable ns for new
graduates of the school to fill engineering

RESENTMENT OF KOREANS

SEOUL. Korea. May 1.-The govern
ment of Korea, acting in cooperation
| with the Office of the japanese resident
general at Seoul. Prince Ito, is preparing
plans for an active and final campaign
against the disorderly forces in Korea
These forces-insurgents and bandits-are
making much trouble. They prevent the
Korean agriculturists from disposing OF
their produce and hamper general bust
| ness effectually.
The correspondent of the Associated
|. Press has made careful canvass of all
| sources of information, both at Seoul and
| in several interior towns, and the consen-
| sus of opinion of unprejudiced foreigners
| merchants. missionaries and officials, Jap.
| anese as well as Koreans. is that business
will not be restored to normal conditions
| by whatever power undertakes to admin
| lister the country. be it japanese OF
Korean.
The present disturbed conditions in the
interior Of Korea are due chiefly to the
fnsufhc1ency of the protection available
| for the farmers and other peaceful in.
| habitants. The disturbing element today
| is composed largely of men out of en-
Observation-Disclosures Korean soldiers anG
| regular bandits. 1t is said to be the prac.
| tice of marauders to Cypress and rob the
| farmers. to attack villages and to kill Jap
anese The bandit element probably mum
bers altogether not more than 5000.
The real Korean patriots, who are ire
concilable toward the idea of a Japanese
protectorate. do not exceed 1000 but Il
undoubtedly is fact that there exists {
deep feeling of unrest and hatred toward
the Japanese among majority of thu
Korean people. The Japanese residency
| general. however. is convinced that it car
overcome this Ill feeling by gradual bu
persistent demonstration of it's good in
tentions. of it's desire to benefit the masse!

Efforts to Arouse Resentment.

It was learned also by Investigation that
at the present time many things are be-
ing done by Japanese coolies and jap
anese merchants and traders of the lower
class especially in the interior Of the
country. to arouse the resentment Of the
Koreans and even that OF the foreign
residents. The correspondent pointed out
this condition to the Japanese officials,
who said in explanation that the Japa-
nese administration was being greatly
hampered by the actions of certain ire
sponsible japanese, and that even the
Japanese soldiers had committed serious
offenses. Assurances were given that
every case was investigated and that all
offenders were being punished vigorously.
A society of Koreans called the Ilchin-
hos. pro-Japanese organization, also is
embarrassing the administration. This
society is composed of the lower element
of the Korean people, and it takes adj
vantage of the presumed protection Of the
Japanese to Cypress Korean farmers and
laborers in the interior. Furthermore
certain native newspapers are in the
habit Of publishing infiammatory articles
against the. Japanese, while the pro-
Japanese press suppresses the actual
facts. The residency general has just is
sued some stringent press regulations d.
rected against the Japanese. Korean and
foreign-owned vernacular newspapers. 1t
proposes to confiscate those journals that
circulate inflammatory articles.
Work Of the Insurgents.
The insurgents are at present prevent
ing the natives from bringing In wood for
fuel and vegetables into Seoul, Chemulpo,
Fusan and other towns. They lie in wait
on the highways. confiscate the goods and
frequently kill the farmer. Yesterday a
band of marauders. twenty or thirty
strong. fusilladed a highway from a hill
one mile outside of Seoul. They scattered
promptly, however, when an armed party
was sent out against them. Another evil
dence of the unrest is found in the fact
that two American missionaries recently
received letters threatening them with
death If they aided the government
against the insurgents. The casualties in
the recent encounters with these armed
bands. however. have been Insignificant.
The forces of unrest operate in small
bands, seldom exceeding 100 and when
they are pursued they scatter and hide
their arms.
Commerce and Trade at Standstill.
The Japanese soldiers have committed
acts of injustice which has aroused in
tense indignation and afforded grounds for
the continuance OF the anti-Japanese agi-
tation. The government now proposes
thoroughly to police the entire country.
The reinforcements to this end probably
will 1xuount to 500 men. including some
700 Koreans. who make excellent police
when under Japanese officers.
While commerce and trade are practical
ly at standstil here and in other towns,
considerable building and general i'm
provement work are going forward. The
Japanese population Is increasing rapidly.
