REV. MACFARLAND, LIkENS JUS.
TiCES TO THE BUBONtC
PLAGUE.

ALAMEDA. Cal, Jan. 2O.-Before
his congregation at the First Chris
tian church last night. Reverend p. G.
MacFarland numerically denounced
the appellate court for it's recent de-
cision in the SchmitZ case.
"A decision which lends hope to
criminals and which puts a mill stone
about the neck of civic virtue must
be bad" the minister declared.
Justice Hall, Kerrigan and Cooper
have won for themselves a place in
history. We shall remember them as
we remember the earthquake, the fire
and the bubonic plague. AS We have
survived all these, doubtless we shall
survive them and their decision"

JAP Sy<iS E'
: &c WALKER
Follow Lieutenant Th'quqh
Far East to America

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 2O.-Japa-
nese spies have been dogging the move
ments of lieutenant Jas. H. Walker,
all the way from Japan to America.
While in San Francisco even. this of
ficer declares he was made the victim
of Jap espionage. Walker is returning
to Washington from trip over the far
east. The Japanese evidently believed
he was either a spy or the bearer OF
important information and dispatches
for persons whom they wished to dis
cover.
They picked up his trail and logged
him through Japan. into Manchuria
and to the Chinese ports. They took
berths on the same steamer, followed
him to his hotel in this city and are
supposed to have gone east with
Walker
Walker had been investigating the
reputed part of the Japanese in stirring
up the anti-Americau feeling which
caused the boycott in China. His report
is such that Japan would give much to
have a copy of it. This caused the spies
TO follow Walker in hopes of securing
a copy in some manner.

hidden in the musty records of the le-
gal files than shouted from the house

1t is a story that a clean man does
not care to hear but hearing. makes
him clench his fist and wonder that
such hideous irhumanity can be.
Jerome did not allow Mrs. Thaw to
tell the tale without contention. OBJ

objections plunged into the sweep of
her narrative like bullet and struck
her, for the nonce, dumb. But in the
