CHANGE OF PLANS
Speech Touching on japanese
immigration Question Was
Postponed.

Toxic Jan 25.-The program for
to-day's session of the Diet, including
the speech of Foreign Minister Vis-
count Hayashi regarding the immi-
grafton question, was suddenly
changed and the speech was post
poned until January 80 when it is
expected that Viscount Hayashi will
outline definitely the plans of the
government for the restriction of em-
igration to America and Canada. 1t
is understood that the postponement
was due to the fact that a reply from
the American government to the last
memorandum from Japan was ex-
pected to be handed to the foreign
Office this afternoon.
Since the delivery of its last mems
orandum the japanese government
has issued the most stringent instruc-
tiOns to all governors and other Off
cials concerning the regulation of
future immigration along the lines
of the future definite policy OF res
striction, which includes the preven-
tion of emigration of laborers to
ALneIlCd ana tdudud 6AC6pL uHucE
given conditions which will be satis-
factory to the governments of both
of those countries. No laborers will
be permitted to emigrate to Mexico.
Evidence of the determination of the
Japanese government is shown by an
official order issued to emigration
companies to-day wherein all emigra-
tion to the Hawaiian Islands is abb
solutely prohibited except in the case
of relatives of japanese already re-
siding there.
The order bearing on emigration to
the Hawaiian Islands has created
CONSERVATION among the emigration
companies who expected to institute
a virulent attack upon the foreign
office policy in this respect. Viscount
Hayashi, however, is determined not
to yield and says that the Japanese
government, having given promise,
will not recede from it regardless OF
political pressure.

THE SHIP COMES in
Adriaiic Brings Witnesses 10
Testify in The Famous Thaw
Case.

New York, Jan 2J.-Four of the
witnesses who are expected TO testify
for the defense in the trial of Harry
X. Thaw for the killing of Stanford
White arrived here to-day on the
steamer Adriatic from Europe. ON
account of the storm the witnesses
did not land yesterday. The delay
caused an adjournment of the court
yesterday until Monday. Three of the
witnesses are physicians and the
fourth is Il nurse who II is asserted at
tended Thaw while he was i'll in Eu-
rope. The identity of the Thaw wit
nesses has been closely guarded
secret and with one exception the
names had not become known when
the steamer arrived to-day. The known
witness is DIR Cauja of Switzerland,

PUBLIC WORKS BOARD
Dr. Hirsch Says II viii Prevent
Truancy Among the School
Children.

Chicago, Jan 25.-Reasoning that
the public trade school will attract
and hold the child, that it will keep
him from the successive stages of re-
luctance, truancy and delinquency
and that its final product will be a
working class, contented self-conti-
dent and honestly ambitious, DR. Emil
G. Hirsch, addressing the convention
of the National Society for the Pro-
motion of Industrial education, pre-
;licted that the installation of such a
system nationally will mean the NOR
al salvation of the American people.
The speaker bewailed the fact that
in the present school system the idea
of imparting and acquiring informa-
tion is always in the foreground
that the appeal is to be head and
only incidentally to the heart. Mrs
Anna Carlin Spencer of the New
York city society for Ethical Culture
attacked what she called "fallacies'
relative to the industrial education
of girls. She asserted that while the
number of girls at any one time EN-
ployed in industrial pursuits is COM
paratively small, the actual number
entering such occupations in given
number of years is large. the appar-
ent discrepancy lying in the fact that
few continue in their vocation more
than four years,
She insisted Xhat the first aim of
the trade school should be the giving
of cultural education" with boys a
knowledge of agriculture, and with
girls of the household arts.
In speaking of 1.-The industrial
school as part of the public school
SYSTEM" Charles F. Perry, director OF
the public schools of trade of Mil
waukee, suggested that the use OF
tobacco should be forbidden absolute
" to the students of such an institu-
tiCn.
The general criticism of trade
schools offered by Milton Higgins,
president of the Norton companies,
Worcester, Mass, was that they are

CRISIS Is PASSED.
Traffic Managers Say That Freight
Business Is Picking Up.

Chicago, Jan 25.--That trelght
traffic conditions are recovering from
financial stringency was the state
ment of several traffic managers and
other high railway officials yester-
day. The Improvement is said to be
particularly noticeable in the traffic
of the railroads of the middle west,
where heavy grain shipments, almost
suspended while the stringency in
the money market was at its height.
now are being made. While the sta
tistics of all roads throughout the
country for the last week showed
that $4,000. or IA per cent of the
100000 freight cars in service
throughout the country were stand
ing idle, and in consequence thou
sands of men had been thrown out
of work, railroad officials expressed
the belief that the crisis has passed
and that no further reductions of
the number of workmen will be nee
essary.

SON OF A DUKE
Another Sensational Move in
Druce Case Looking For
Miss PaiterSOn'S Letters
HOPES TO PROVE TITLE

London, Jan 25.-The Druce case
which has been SO prolific of sensa-
tions to-day furnished still another
| The solicitor for George Hollamby
Druce who asserted that he was the
son of the Duke of Portland in the
latter's dual personality of Thomas
Charles Druce and as such was heil
| to the title and estate to-day made
public the correspondence he has had
with the public prosecutor in which
he asks that official to assist him in
locating letters offered him by Miss
Mary Paterson of New York, but
which have fallen into the hands of
man purporting to be his repre-
sentative. In letter to George Hol-
lamby Druce, Miss Paterson said she
had a number of letters written by T.
c. Druce to her mother in which
Druce referred to himself as the duke
of Portland.
George Hollamby Druce sent Miss
Paterson money to come to England
but according to her later letters a
man representing himself as an agent
of George Hollmby Druce's solicitor
called on her and got the letters The
solicitor is anxious now to find the
letters as he says they are necessary
in the defense of Miss Mary Robin
son.
Miss Robinson said to be an Ameri-
can woman the daughter of a south
ern planter recently testified during
the Druce case that she knew Druce
as the duke of Portland, that Charles
Dickens told her that Druce was the
duke of Portland and that Druce
himself afterward confirmed the
statement Miss Robinson was arrest
ed January II on a warrant charging
her with perjury, and she came up
for trial to-day. Her attorney de-
clared that he had been unable to get
any coherent story from her that he
believed her to be of unsound mind
and that the case was one for medical
experts. The judge however decided
there was no evidenc to bear out this
contention and he ordered the trial
to proceed.
