HOWEVER
Distinguished orientas Arrive in Vic
torIa and Look Forward Eagerly
to Tour Of the United
States

By Associated Press.
VICTORIA, B. c., April 3O.-Baron
Sakatani, Japan's former minister OF
finance, accompanied by well known
Japanese financiers, arrived on the
steamship Kaga Maru this morning.
Baron Sakatani is accredited by jap
anese newspapers with a mission to
secure another foreign loan for Japan.

.'The newspapers say many thlngs'
NV sole object is to travel for pleas
ure, as is that of the party accom-
panying ME. Some, though, may have
come to do some business.
1--WE go to Seattle, thence to chicago
and New York. where we will remain
three weeks, then cross to London, ana
after some time there and iii other
European capitals we will go to St.
Petersburg and from there homeward
by the trans-Siberian railroad.

am looking forward to my visit in the
United States with great pleasure"
Interview Prepared
! I'm an interview prepared by his sec
retary the baron said:
My stand is for international peace
and progress. The object of my trip
is to meet distinguished persons in for
eign countries, and 1 hope to bring
about better understanding with va
rious nations, making it clear that the
Japanese people most faithfully respect
other countries rights and are after
nothing but the integrity of their own
country.

expenses is a woe to mankind and
have strenuously endeavored to lessen
the burdens of my nation In that re-
spect."
Baron Sakatani revived Japan's
financial system, secured the adoption
of the gold standard and managed the
financing of the wars with China and
Russia He resigned his portfolio as
minister of finance a few months ago.

GREAT WATER POWER
HAS BEEN DEVELOPED
APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS Of
FER FINE CHANCE
Method Proposed Whereby 100000
Horse Power Will Be Developed
from Storage Reservoirs
Catching Drainage
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 3O.-The great
est water power that has ever taken
place in the United States has been ac-
complished during the last few years
on the rivers which drain the Southern
Appalachian mountains, according to
an official report on the water resources
of this region.
1t is estimated there is at least $780,
900 indicated horse power developed by
the streams which have their head
waters on this watershed, and half of
this indicated horsepower is available
for economic development.
Only a comparatively small part of
this has been made use of, but the por-
ton that has been utilized has been one
of the most important factors in the
recent industrial development of the
south
One great difficulty encountered by
the users of water power is the fact
that it cannot be depended upon the
year around, but must be supplemented
for time each summer by costly fuel
power, the streams running too low to
be of service.
The method proposed to develop the
Appalachian resources to the total of
g., ,0O0, 900 horsepower is by storage reser-
voirs which would catch the surplus
waters of the spring and retain them
until the summer months, when the
mills will not have to fall back on fuel
or close down.
The United States geological survey
has kept the records of stream flow in
the Appalachians for a number of years
and recently made careful study of
the possibilities of storage reservoirs in
that region.
The experts who made the investiga-
tion after picking out reservoir sites
and estimating their capacity and the
area from which they would receive the
run-off consider the figures given above
extremely conservative. Even with
only 100000 horse power the annual
return at $40 per horse power per year
would amount to $2S,000,000, equal to a
gross income of per cent on a capital
of about 1888. .O00 900.

GOMPERS SAYS S0LONS MUST
ANSWER UNLESS LAWS PASS
Declares Organized Labor viii Make
Influence Felt in Presidential
Election to an Important
Extent
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April 30.-Organized labor
will make its influence felt in the com"
ing presidential election to an extent
that will make statesmen sit up and
take notice." according to Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, who passed through the
city last night on his way to Wisconsin.
The leader of the labor movement
was optimistic as usual, but he set his
teeth when congress was mentioned
ana declared that If the measures urged
by labor do not become laws at this
session those responsible will have to
answer in the fall election.
Mr.. Gompers said he had been ad-
vised by the legislative committee that
the Wilson bill, amending the sherman
antitrust law, would be introduced i'll
the senate by Senator William Alden
Smith of Michigan.
The determined stand which the
labor unions took against wage reduc-
tions has saved the country from an
industrial stagnation in the opinion of
Mr.. Gompers.

Important Questions Brought Before Great Methodist Body in Balti-
 more
ARTICLE OF REV. MIR. BROWN
Invaluable Service Rendered hy Dean Rogers ms Chairman of the
 Judiciary Commit

Tho following Is valuable summary of certain important features of the Methodist Episcopal general confer ence. which recently closed in Bnlti- more, written specially for tho Jour nal-Courier by the Rev. Francis r Brown of the First M F. church of this city, who was present during n part of the conference as an observer of the proceedings:
 Several general conferences of the Methodist Episcopal church have been held in the city of Baltimore since the famous Christmas confer ence" of l7S4 at which Francis As- bury was consecratod bishop Tho most notable of these was the con ference of 1908 at which the constitu- ton of the church was adopted and the general conference constituted a delegated body, The selection of Bal tlinore as the seat of the conference of 1908 had a double anniversary ref erence to these events of a century and a century and a quarter ago.
 Such reference suggests wide con hi"SAe' w h'h ilb ciNN9 piNdNilfiS ihtl in Lovely Lane chapel in 17S4 they represented the sum total of sixty Methodist Episcopal churches scatter ed along the Atlantic seaboard.
 When the 500 delegates met in Lyric hall in 1908 they represented GO.OO0 churches. 3,SO7,275 members and stS6.s24,024 worth of property in all parts of the world. and recorded net gains during the last quadrennium of 2TS.357 members, of 9,S66 students In church institutions alone, and of s32,- 67S,4S1 in property, When the Meth odist Episcopal church south and oth- CT Methodist bodies add an almost equal total, the outgrowth of that ob- ecure chapel meeting in l7S4 is seen in It's remarkable proportions.
 Of this expanding work the general conference has the supreme control. being the only law-making body of the}church and the final court of ap- peal. Every four years at the im- medlately preceding sessions of the 133 annual conferences (of which our New York East conference Is one) the clerical delegates are elected and at the same time special lay electoral
