Against Men High in the
Fire Department.
INQUIRY is STILL ON.
Water and Fire Departments
Each Tries to Shift Blame
to the Other.

10 prove the efficiency OF the city''
water service during the Parker Build
tng fire and TO refute many OF the
statements made by the fire chiefs and
engineers that they could not procure
an adequate supply, experts from the
New York and Brooklyn Water Depart
ments were to-day called as witnesses
at the inquiry that is being conducted by
John Purroy Mitchell, Commissioner OF
Accounts. The investigation has devel-
oped a lot of feeling between the Fire
and Water Departments.
Mayor Mcclellan is not convinced that
there was lack OF s'ater n the mains
in the district near the Parker Building.
He is inclined TO the belief that the
Water Department is not to blame, but
rather that the firemen exhibited poor
judgment in the placing OF engines. II
is in evidence that as many as four
powerful fire engines were stationed on
q six-inch main within single block.
One big engine is capable OF try!ag the
resources of any siX-inch main.
Talk About Charges.
1t is the opinion of many at the City
Hall that Commissioner Lantry cannot
escape the effects OF the investigation.

In ordering the Commissioners ~ Ac-

impression that certain abuses aud prac-

In a communication to-day the Mayor
requests tha; immediate attention be

stone be left unturned TO lay bare every
detail of Night Court business. He re-
qulres a full report at the earliest hour
possible.
The Mayors determination Is a result
OF The Worlds exposure, which involved
Magistrate Droege and Lawyer Mark
Alter, and one effect OF which was to
impel the Mayor to demand Droege's
resignation. Certain other court off,

 Now, coming to the turn of our foreign relations. First of all, the much talked of exclusion question of the Japanese children from the San Fran- cisco schools was withdrawn on March 10, however, with the appearance of the still more disagreeable emigra- ton problem. Since then there were several riots against the Japanese on the western coast of this country and Canada, and at one time seemed to create grave situation caused by thoughtless utterances of petty poli- ticians and the jingo press, but this has gradually died away by reason of the timely visits and calm utterances of the distinguished Japanese here.
 Tt is not questioned that the Japan. csc fleet under Vice-Admiral Ijulin in the Jamestown naval display and the 
 visits of Gen. Kuroki and Admiral Yamamoto to this country, and that of Mr. Taft to Japan, each proved to be cementing factor to the Americas Japanese friendship.
 The organization of the Japan So. ciety of New York, which took place on May r. is another proof of good feeling of both people, and this, we expect, will prove a strong tie between them No doubt the Japanese authori- ties, as well as the people in general, must be aggrieved over the prejudice against our brethren on the part of some Americans, but equally must 1t be embarrassing to the American gov. ernment, as well as to the people who i have no interest in the anti-Japanese movement. Our government also real- 1 zes the many difficulties with which | the American government must con- tend, being fully aware of the fact that American institutions are so different from cur own, and for this reason and numerous others the Japanese govern- ment is doing its utmost to adjust and conciliate the difficulties with this country. This peaceful desire of Japan resulted in the change of her diplo- matic representatives in this country and in the new regulation prohibiting Japanese emigration. with the excep- ton Of the students and commercial people to this country.
 Another and most remarkable proof of the Japanese sincerity may be seen in her proposed suspension of the naval construction for an unlimited DerioG
