CALLED BRITAIN
TRAITOR TO
WHITES
Predicted Struggle Between
America and Japs
in 10 Years.

LONDON, Nov. s20.--Another SEN
sation was created here today by
publication of what is purported
to be an extract of the interview
secured by DR.. w. B. Hale on board
the imperial yacht at Bergen, Nor
way, from the kaiser on July 10,
and which was announced to APP
pear In the Century, but was sup
pressed.
The interview, as printed here,
says the kaiser Is, very bitter
against England, saying the latter
is full of yellow fever" He de-
clared that England was traitor
to the white mans cause, and pre-
dicted that she would ultimately
lose some of her colonies through
her treaty with Japan.
The kaiser further said that the
invitation to the American feet to
visit New Zealand and Australia
was intended to serve as notice to
England that those colonies be-
longed to the white mans cause
and were not with the renegade
mother country.
Another interesting declaration
of the kaiser's was that Japan is
even fomenting an insurrection in
Indian In spite of England's friend
ship. He said there Is a complete
understanding between himself
and Roosevelt on this point, and
they intended to divide the east
against herself by becoming the
recognized friends of China.
Negotiations had been progress
ing favorably for months, and a
high Chinese official, the emperor
said. would soon visit Germany and
the United States. Later terms
would be made guaranteeing the
protection and integrity of China,
with the open door.
Every statesman now realizes,
he declared, that Russia, In the
great struggle with Japan. was
really fighting for the white mans
cause, and fighting 1t miserably. He
expressed sympathy with Russia,
remarking how different 1t would
have been If the burden of carry
ing the white mans standard had
been placed upon his invincible
battalions.
The kaiser Is keeping friends
with the Mohammedan world, even
supplying them with rifles, because
they are devils in fight, standing
between the east and west, where
they can break the first force of
the attack.
Pie emperor declared he be-
lieved that the United States will
be forced to fight Japan within ten
years. He poured steady stream
of criticism upon England for the
last two years proceedings.

sons. This was within 100 yards
of where the murdered mans body
was found less than one hour later.
Witnesses identify Lockovitch as
one OF the two men supporting
Danieluk.
1t was the description given by
these persons which started Detec-
tive McDermott on the trail. Al
though the witnesses had not seen
Danieluk after his murder, they de-
scribed him accurately. This left
no doubt in the detectives mind
but that they were to be relied
upon, so with the descriptions of
the two men seen with Danieluk
in his mind, he toured the foreign
quarter and arrested Lockovitch.
Both witnesses identify him as the
taller of the two men supporting
Danieluk under the arc lamp. They
also identify the murdered man as
the drunken individual who was
being supported.
Lockovitch refuses to make a
statement except to deny his guilt.
A strong case of circumstantial
evidence is believed to have been
gathered against him.
A consultation win be held with
the county prosecutor today and

murder of Ira Messenger, a soldier
of the Civil war, by Frank Barkar,
regular army soldier of the
Third infantry, at Medical Lake
on July rs last, this morning was
given by Detective Alex Melon
aid to- the jury trying Barkar for
murder in the first degree.
Mcdonald gave the narrative as
given in his presence by Barkar
in his three confessions-the first
in the police station here imme-
diately after Barkar's arrest, the
second at Medical Lake in the
presence of the dead mans body,
and the third again in police head
quarters in Spokane before Mar
quetts, a court reporter employed
by the state.
Alex H. Gregg, directing the
Barkar defense, made vigorous
fight against the admission of the
confessions but was overruled by
the court. He succeeded In get
ting the jury removed from the
courtroom in order to question the
witnesses for the state as to how
the confessions were secured. Aft
er the examination of Mcdonald
had proceeded a short time the
court ordered the jury be return
ed and that the examination as to
the confession and how it was Sc
cured proceed in the presence of
the jury.
This morning Judge Hinkle's
courtroom was filed with the
largest crowd that has been pres
ent since the trial began Every
seat was taken and the aisles were
packed with eager listeners, at
tracted by the announcement that
Bafkar's version of the crime as
related to the officers for the
state would be placed before the
jury
Detective Mcdonald told of the
arrest of Barkar by himself and
Detective Fred Pearson at the
Minneapolis lodging house in Spo-
kane at o'clock on the second
morning after the murder Barkar
was taken to police headquarters
and Deputy Prosecutor Fred Pugh
was notified. Mr.. Pugh arrived at
$500 a. m. and at 4 o'clock Barkar
was brought before Pugh in the
detectives room. There were. pres
emit besides Mcdonald, Deputy
Sheriffs Clarence Long and S. d..
Doak and Prosecutor Pugh.
Mcdonald said that after lit
tie questioning, in which he first
denied having been at Medical
Lake, Barkar admitted the killing
of Messenger. Barkar said he had
been drinking heavily on Saturday,
July 25, and had gone to Medical
Lake. There he met two girls,
Bessie Pelzel and Mary Bed
noscheke, with whom he tried to
strike up an acquaintanceship.
During the night Messenger had
followed him and asked him to
''let that girl alone" One word
brought on another until Messin-
ger called Barkar a "$13-a-month
10y and made a motion as ii
about to strike Barkar. The latter
then said he stopped and found at
his feet the piece Of gas pipe
with which he struck Messenger,
causing his death. Barkar said
he then left the scene and hurried
up town, taking the first car back
to Spokane.
Not until the next day, con-
tinued Barkar in his confession as
reported by Mcdonald, did the de-
fendant know of his having killed
Messenger. He was feeling very
badly after his nights debauch,
and the encounter with Messenger
troubled him. During the follow
ing day he went to Liberty park
