JAPAN CREATING AN
 AUXILIARY FLEET
Busy Building Cruisers That May Be Used as War Vessels.

New York, Aug. 22.-Accordlng to Kashira Shiba, one of the managers of the Mitsupishi dock yard at Nagasaki, Japan, the Japanese government is making earnest efforts to increase its fleet of auxiliary cruisers.
 Shiba, declared that while the Jap anese navy is highly efficient, there is need of a fleet of steamships which could, in time of war, be converted into cruisers.
 Our dock yard" said he, "is work ing at its fullest capacity. We are turning out 14OOO ton turbine steam ships which vii! do q knots, and which will ply between San Francisco and Hongkong, via Japan. These boats will use oil for fuel. In addition to these boats we are building four steam ships which will run from Japan to England via the Suez canal. All these vessels will be at the service Of Japan in case of war. The dock yards at Kobe and other places are all running at full capacity.

charming to them that now their fam flies and friends insist on going too. The transformation, of the members of Hay Fever. association is sudden; men from inland towns suddenly turn nau- tical on one of the greatinland seas; they are to be found on all sorts of craft from rowbOats to the biggest steamship on the Great Lakes, the luxurious Huronic of the Northern Navigation cOmpany's fleet. which the Chicagoans board at Sarnia. The an- nual onset of hay fever has caused the exploration of all the 30,000 islands of Georgian bay, that great archipelago of weird and fantastic scenery. The great attraction among those islands and the Temagami region is the air, which is dry and balsmic. One hay fever delegate, whose misery left him immediately he entered Georgian bay wrote: "The air seems to have lost the last truce of moisture, and becomes by reason of it's dryness so pellucid that every object seems as if seen through telescope, and the sunlight assumes a splendor not observed in moister cli- mates" The American Medical assO- citation has done much to encourage research for the relief of hay fever, and the Dunbar antitoXin has proved a partial success. The misery, medical ly known as "hyperesthetic rhinities," is not wholly ascribed to dust and pol len, the Journal of the association re- gently having said that the three causes were nervous susceptibility, in- cluding predisposition 10 gout and rheumatism; abnormal conditions of the nasal organs, and the irritation caused by dust or pollen. The most effective remedy yet wound is a change of air Light clothing and light food are recommended.

A WILD STOCK MARKET
Extraordinary Manipulation Caused
 Great Excitement.

New York, Aug. 22.-TOday's brief session of the stock exchange was marked by most fragrant manipulation and extraordinary excitement. A very large proportion of the business was of such hollow and superficial charac- ter as to deceive no one but the mer- est tyro. In fact, the expressions of condemnation were quite general among the more conservative members after the markets close. The opinion is that the days work caused incalcul- able harm is almost unanimous. The market opened with general advances. Before the expiration of the first hour the trading assumed a different aspect, large blocks of active issues coming out with wild fluctuations. The great bulk of the business was in American Smelling. rubber, Union Pacific, steel stocks and Northern Pacific. The day closed with losses in a number of issues including the Harrimans.

THE HANS BROTHERS
 WILL LAY IN JAIL
Hope For a Speedy Trial Has Been Abandoned.

New York, Aug. 22.-AH hope of bringing the Hains brothers to a speedy trial for killing Annis has been given up The trial will probably not begin until the middle of November No attempt will be made for his re- lease on bail in the meanwhile, nor will the Hains brothers ask for a change of venue
 It may be decided tomorrow whether or not to ask for separate trials. At a conference held today regarding the conduct of the case, prevailing senti- ment favored passing the defense on the confession of Mrs. Hains alleged to have been made to her husband. but which she says she was forced to sign.
 Mcintyre of the counsel for the de- fense said he had no doubt he would be able to get that statement before the jury. The counsel for the accused is not in a mood to make overturee to Mrs. Hains in order to obtain her assistance at the trial. They hold that if called upon she will be compelSed to repeat in court what she said in the alleged confession.

PHOENIX MAROONS

 In Poorly Played Game.

Prescott, Ariz., Aug. 22.-(SpeciaD.- - The so-called All Stars of Phoenix put up a very poor exhibition of the national game with the Prescott Grays this afternoon, the score being II to 1 at the finish. Phoenix started off With three runs and for four innings looked like winner. Then their bal loon went up and Prescott made six.
 Five more were added in the eighth and in the ninth Phoenix was allowed one.
 The exhibition was a farce and took on the hue of a battle between the white and yellow races, with Mexico on the Phoenix end. The same teams play tomorrow.

GROWTl; OF BLACKMAIL.

From the Washington Post.
 Raymond Hitchcock, the actor, has been acquitted of a fearful charge, after a fair trial. He was once before in jeopardy, but the case against him collapsed upon the discovery that one of his accusers, a young girl, was guilty of the grossest perjury. In the trial just ended the tesd- mony of his accusers was shown to be false as to dates and places, and the probability is strong that their whole story was tissue of falsehoods, inspired by cunning rascals who sought to black mail the actor.
 The police of every large city are famil- jar with the origin of such charges as that placed against Raymond Hitchcock. All that is required is a conspiracy De- tween a blackmailer and one of the vile young girls that are only too numerous in the slums. The readiness of the pub lie to believe a story told by a woman is powerful factor in aiding the black mailers. Many a man of perfectly cor rect habits has been blacllmailed because of his fear of public opinion. He has paid money for silence rather than face the questioning glances of the public. It is to the credit of Actor Hitchcock that he had the moral courage to fight rather than submit to blackmail.
 The increase in this class of crimes nay be due in part to the changed status Of women in American life. They are in direct competition with men in business Some of them are thrown upon their own resources at a tender age. Too many of them fall by the wayside, yielding to any temptation which promises to bring them 3 living. It is to the credit of the sex that they are usually honest in positions Of trust, but at the same time it is no longer unusual to read of defaulting women cashiers. Women clerks are known to play the races and otherwise tempt
 fate. The longer they live the life of
 men the more they tend to adopt busi- ress vices as well as virtues The time | has passed when it was safe to accept q | check signed with a womans name, mere- ly because of the universal belief in wom- ans honesty. Women have placed them- l selves on a fighting plane with men, and
 they must be judged by the same stand
 ards Deplorable as the facts are, they must be accepted. The Hitchcock case
 proves that young and lnnocent-loolSing l girls can join in as black a conspiracy as any hardened criminal, and can do their share of brazen lying as glibly as any thief
 | The moral of the Hitchcock case to re- ! sponsible men is to be on the lookout | against any situation which might have even the appearance of evil, and to boldly expose would-be blackmalers, whatever their age or sex.

Ocean Shipping

The subsidy scheme was voted down in the long session, but it will undoubt- edly reappear at the short session that meets just after the presidential cleo ton, when the members will not be playing politics at every turn. The short session should be one of inde- pendent action, keeping the public veal strictly in view. If the subsidy plan has any chance of adoption it will be taken up next winter and possible shaped into law
 The tonnage of the world is i'm mense, and very little of it is Ameri- can. The ships Of the world represent an aggregate O. nearly 40,000,000 tons, and the average annual net addition is about 2,O0O,O00 tons.
 Just at present shipping is in a de- pressed condition because in all the maritime countries freights have fallen eff. Comparatively few lines are mak- ing money. They are holding on, how ever, believing that the dull times will soon be ended, and that better busi- ness conditions will return. Fortunate 1y rate wars have been ended even on the Atlantic lines, and the owners of shipping are patiently waiting for a time when travel and freighfs will rise to the proportions of year ago, or better still, two years ago. The 42,000 vessels on the high seas would then have all the work they could do, and perhaps they would not then seek so diligently subsidies.

Let Us Al0ne''

This is the cry that goes up from each and every interest threatened with tariff revision. When Secretary Taft advocated reduced duties for Philippine products, the beet sugar trust threw up it's hands in holy hor- TOT and cried out, Let us Alone" In other words, the trusts at home want all the money that is going into their respective products. The Dingley scheme suits them and all they desire is to be "let alone"
 Child labor and all similar reforms arouse the like cry from the trusts, Let us Alone" Through the repub- lican party they have got things ad- justed to suit themselves. They are in position to exploit the people almost to the satisfaction of their avarice, and very naturally they say, Let us Alone" No tariff beneficiary cares how tariff duty that fills his own pocket affects the rest of the people in his own or any other country.

EATING IN FICTION.
,m the Indianapolis Star

FToHl lne 1nuldndpOllS SIdT.
 An English writer notes that eating, as a necessary and important part of so- cial life. has lost its place in fiction. What he says is true, and it is equally true of dress as an essential part of the description of the personages of the tale. Modern novelists, for example, seldom, describe the heroines garb, leaving that to the readers fancy or to the pencil of the illustrator. Omission of such a de- scription either by pen or brush Is not unwise since feminine fashions change so rapidly that too accurate portrayas serve to classify the book as belonging to a fixed period.
 The matter of eating, however, is diff ferent. To eat in company is more a part of social life among rich and poor than ever before. Every year dining is becoming more of fine art and cook cry has advanced to a profession. MT. Mcawber, who broiled bacon and toasted bread at his broken grate and enter tained his friends with joyful hospitality, has his counterpart in these days in the man who proudly displays his mastery of the chafing dish. Women flock to cooking schools, and a new and savory dish exctes as much interest among them as ever it could have done among those famous cooks their grandmothers.
 Why this art does not figure more in fiction is not clear. People dine in novels, but never by chance do readers know what is served to them or how they en- joy it. There are, of course, such cx- captions as Upton Sinclair's fantastic tale in which members of the 400 indulge in a gluttonous feed" but this is not to be counted Eating as one of the simple and universal pleasures of life Is not recos nized by fiction writers. Do they fancy that such portrayals are beneath their art or that the public prefers more aesthetic themes? If so, they are wrong. Dickens knew how much the social meal enhanced the joy of living in his day, both in high circles and low, and condi- tions in this respect are not different now. A little recognition of the fact that d dinner is something beyond an inter- change of wit, or an hour of dull dia- logue, would not lower the standard of any novelist.
