Otto Olson, who was arrested last
night charged with embezzling
$4,000 belonging to the Willamette
school district, is also forger.
The bond submitted by him to COW
err the defalcation was today pro-
nounced bogus.
A week ago Olson fell IA feet
from telephone pole. striking his
head. and he is still in bed as a
result of this fall 1t is now be-
lieved that he was attempting to
commit suicide when he fell, and
that the supposed accident was
really the result Of carefully
thought out scheme for self de-
struction.
Besides being treasurer for the
Willamette school district he is
the financial agent for the Method

WHAT JOHN BULL WOULD DO IF
JAPS SHOULD TACKLE UNCLE SAM

Special Correspondence to The Press
LONDON, Feb. 14.-What will
England do in case Of war between
her ally, Japan, and the United
States.
The following may be regarded
as an authoritative answer to this
question, which has puzzled so
many:
England's treaty with Japan
guarantees the integrity Of Japa-
nese territory and Of English terri
tory In Asia. If either is attacked
by a third power the other party
to the treaty must join in the de-
fensive war. The treaty does not
apply if either England or Japan
begins an aggressive war; that is,
IL Japan should attack America,
England would not help Japan. 1t
is not considered conceivable that
the United States would begin a
war of aggression for territory
against Japan.
Aside from the treaty. England's
full diplomatic, financial and other
influence is absolutely against war
England was sympathetic toward
the attack upon Russia, and the
moral effect of this sympathy upon
Japan was considerable. The moral
influence in the other direction

FIVE DEATHS REPORTED
At THE REFORM SCHOOL

ter Of the physician of the reform
school; Elmer Mills, an employee;
a daughter of the night Waterman,
and two inmates, names unknown.
ut is said that the original cause
of the spread of the disease was
neglect to quarantine the school.
So widespread Is the feeling that
the malignant disease is liable to
break out in the town that the pub
lie schools have been closed. For
the same reason the teachers in
stitute, which was to have been
held here. has been changed to
Centralia."
This is denied by a Spokane wo-
man, just returned from visit to
the school, leaving Chehalis last
Wednesday. She says she went all
through the institution and found
no serious sickness, seven or eight
cases of tonsilitis being the extent
of 1t. None of the Spokane children
were sick at that time.
There are 10 boys and several
girls from Spokane at Chehalis. B..
G. Peters, probation officer, says
the reform school authorities are
required to report serious illness
or death OF patients Immediately
to parents

would also be considerable.
Canada, and the English Austria
liam colonies, will bring every pos
sible influence to bear, through
England, against an American
Japanese war. Canada's position
toward emigration is identical with
that of the United States. Austria
liza and New Zealand have Asiatic
exclusion laws. The yellow peril
is much more real to those colonies
than it is even to the United
States. Australians regard the
Philippines as the most important
outwork of defense against Asiatic
aggression. An attack upon the
Philippines would be regarded
with almost as great alarm as
would an attack upon Australia.
Australians have been in favor of
an Anglo-Japanese treaty because
it guaranteed status quo in Asia
and by inference guaranteed Amer
lean possession of the Philippines.
Lastly, English opinion toward
Japan has changed somewhat, and
any extension of Japanese power
at this time would be resented. The
present liberal cabinet is particu-
larry cordial to America and less
cordial to Japan than previous
cabinets have been.

CONTRACTORS BLOCKING

sition to resuming the former sys.
tenn comes from the same source
Instead of encouraging tho erec-
tion of homes, the council, in cling.
ing to it's hidebound policy, takes
the position that section Of the
city must first be built up and popu-
lated before the question of its
water supply can be given even re.
luctant consideration.
Another feature of this question
is the fact that the city, by grant.
ing the water extensions already
asked for and badly needed, could
furnish work for hundreds OF men
who are in absolute necessity OF
finding work. Among other ex.
penses they have to meet is pay

the work.
There Is no excuse for this WORK

Thomas Maloney was busy today
seeking support for an optional sys-
tenn of installing water mains. He
waited on City Engineer Ralston
and Mayor Moore this morning and
set the matter before them in the
hope of having their support in
modifying the most recent opinion
of the city fathers in the matter of
installing mains. Maloney argues
that the city officials. should exer-
else the same judgment in Install
ing water mains that any private
corporation would. If the revenue
is guaranteed the city and the
prospects are favorable for rapid
building along the proposed main
the water should be put in.
A large number of petitions for
water were refused by the city
council meeting. Property owners
offered to put up bonds that rev.
enue amounting to IL per cent Of
the cost of installing the mains
would be paid the city. This,
however, did not satisfy the coun-
Gil.
1t is claimed that the city con-
tractors are responsible for the
charter amendment adopted last
election which provided for putting
in water mains by contract instead

Several Spokane families have
been greatly worried lately by ru-

in the reform school at Chehalis,

here stated that three had died of
the disease and there were 10
cases in the school, but that the
management absolutely refused to
give out any definite information
as to who were stricken or to al
low relatives to approach the
school to make inquiry.
The following telegraphic report

other subterfuge and only furnish
an excuse to keep the bars open.
