J. V. ALLEN SAYS IF FARLEY AND HIS ASSOCIATES HAD BEEN IN SOUTH ALABAMA A CORONER WOULD NOW BE NEEDED.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Birmingham has won the admiration of the world for its enterprise, splendid achievements and the ability of it's citizens to do things, but in the present coal mniers strike she has been distinct disappointment to all liberty-loving Ala bamians.
 If Fairley and his black co-conspira- tors had invaded south Alabama and per petrated the same damnable deeds he has inflicted on the people of Jefferson county nothing further would be needed but the coroner.
 The time for discussing the promoters and directors of this guerilla warfare, who have brought shame and disgrace on the state and wrought wreck and rum to this district, should be past; the time Tor action is at hand. Our property interests, our personal liberty, the happiness and lives of our people are involved. what more is necessary to arouse a brave peo-

Union Pacific, prominent example, rose to a price higher than had been touched since early in August last year. Other stocks touched high points for the present year. St. Paul and the Hill stocks showed closest sympathy with the movement of the Union Pacific.
 Profit taking was freely pursued and this induced an uneven, and at time irregular, movement in prices. Bonds were firm.
 Steel ruled a small fraction below the closing price of yesterday through out the day. The market closed under the Auence of profit-taking.

THE POVERTY OF
 JAPAN |s SHOWN
FRENCH FINANCIERs PROVE THE ROSE -COLoRED DECLARA-
 TONS UNTRUE
Crisis Was Year Ago, and Failure of the Bank of Futumata Was Fol lowed by Crashes All Over the Mi kado's Kingdom.

PARIS, April 25.-The lamentable fin aneial condition of Japan has hitherto been successfully concealed. The Eng fish telegraphic agencies nave been send tions of Japanese diplomats and fnan- ciers destined to reassure public opinion; !; and up to the present the poverty of the people, tbc failures of banks, the emptiness of the State treasury have not been known in Europe.
 ] An investigation undertaken by the French capitalists has resulted in as- founding disclosures. The Japanese fin. ancial crisis dates from tho failure of the Bank of Futumata, in the province of Enshu, year ago. This was fol lowed by run on the Asakusa Ginko, bank of Tokio. Then week by week the banks went under in every part of the country.
 It is noticeable that with increasing financial disaster the bellicose clamor died out in Japan.
 Among the banks which suspended payment was the Kyoritsu Ginko of the Island of Kyushu, which had large in terests in the coal regions. Millions of yens were lost in the failure. A few weeks later panic swept away the Kokura branch of the Oguri Ginko. The home bank itself shut its doors. This institution, one of the most important in Japan, had been established in 1898 i by Oguri Tomiiiro, millionaire of the town of Nagoya, in conjunction with Baron Goto, the former civil governor of Formosa. It held the salt monopoly of Formosa on lease of twenty years. | This failure entailed that of the Ram esaki Ginko, which had branches in all the leading towns of Japan, and five other financial institutions of import ancc
 other the story of disaster runs-broken banks, mobs clamoring at the doors of penniless institutions, riots, starvation and despair.
 Late in November the government in- | tervened. The intervention was due to thc idiuit oI thc l"o icduihS pdhhS- ono in Tokio and the other in Fukui, an important manufacturing center. The first of these banks, the Tykyo Shoko Ginko, closed its doors November 20; six days later the Dai Ku ju nj Ginko failed-its $l00 shares had fallen to $6. The Yagi Ginko of the town of Yagi, in the district of Tokaichi, suspended payment January ', 1908, but the Gov crnment and the Nippon Ginko--that is,
