FORMER SENATOR SAYS
JAPANESE CONSPIRACY
HAS BEEN MAGNIFIED

SAN PEDRO, June 13.-Former Stale
Senator d. L. wilmington, for several
years past engaged in the practice Of
law in Honolulu who is making brief
visit to this city, where he resided prior
to going to Hawaii, is not inclined to
take seriously the reports from the ISL
ands about the alleged Japanese con-
spiracy.
This evening he said that such cable
advices as he had received since ne lett
the islands a fortnight ago Indicate the
strike is abating.
Asked as to the Japanese newspaper
Jill, in whose office incendiary docu-
ments are reported to have been found,
Senator wilmington said the Jill Is the
least influential of Japanese papers IN
Honolulu.
1t is the strikers organ and has been
suspected of inspiring attacks upon
Japanese who hesitated about joining
the strike. 1t was probably because Of
that suspicion that the place was
raided.
Mr.. wilmington said the influential
white citizens of Hawaii have no fears
as to the ability of the United States
to take care of its island territory
He saw nothing in the present sltua-
ton to cause people to be concerned
over the bogy of Japanese domination.

high mental attainments and rational
on every subject except that of auto
mobiles and airships, of which he had
marvellous ideas for Improvement.
When on this subject he became ir-
rational and at times violent when his
theories were disputed, and, according
to his statements, the attendants and
nurses at the asylum seemed to take
malicious delight in teasing him
about his inventions and arousing him
to anger by laughing at his theories
and ridiculing his ideas.
At Patton last night DR.. Eustace
Wilson, the acting superintendent,
stated when asked about the death of
Parsons that the patient had died of
injuries received in a fight with an
other patient of the name of Phosole.
He stated that while Parsons was
walking around in the yard for exer-
else he had spit in the face of Phosole
and that the latter had attacked and
beat Parsons so badly that he died.

JAPANESE MAKE REPORT
ON ENORMOUS IMPORTS
Total Merchandise Sent by United
States Double the Amount
Ten Years Ago

WASHINGTON, June 13--The ex-
tent of the commerce of Japan with
the United States is shown in statls-
tics issued by the bureau of statistics,
based on the official publication of
Japan entitled "Return of the Foreign
Trade of the Empire of Japan, 1908.
These show that Japan imports from
the United States, in 1908, amounted
to $39. 900 900. The share which mer-
chandise from the United States formed
of the total imports into that country
in 1908 was 17.S per cent. This total is
shown to be practically twice as great
as a decade ago.
The exports from Japan to the United
states were, in 1908. $61 900, 600, or 32,t
per cent of the total exports.

WISCONSIN ADOPTS
NEW COUPON BALLOT
Gives Country Districts All AdVan.
tages of Election Machines and
Allows llIiterate Citizens to
Vote lnteligentIy
Especial to The Herald

MADISON. Wis, June 13.-The legis-
lature of this state has passed by a
decisive vote a. bill providing for the
use of a coupon ballot at all elections.
This ballot, which is the patented
invention Of a Wisconsin man, con-
sists of several sheets of thin card
board, perforated into coupons and
stapled together at the top. Each sheet
has a different color and the consecu-
lively numbered coupons of a single
political party. Each coupon bears the
name of a single candidate for office.
There is also a folder which may ne
sealed, having spaces to receive the
coupons voted and numbered to cor
respond TO them. Still another en-
velope receives the portions of the bal
lot not voted.
To vote a straight ticket the voter
tears off the whole sheet of coupons
of the party of his choice; if he splits
his ticket he tears from the several
sheets the coupons of the candidates
of his choice; he then places the
voted coupons in the folder and the
unvoted ones in the envelope and seals
both i'm the presence of the judges. Ex-
pertinent has shown that voter can
vote with ease in forty-fve seconds.
Eliminates Fraud
The advantages claimed for the new
DdllDts Cdntu llit poIhCL bdlIoL anu
coupon voting system are that 1t
will give the country districts which
cannot afford a voting machine all of
the latter's advantages 1t absolutely
will eliminate the possibility of fraud,
makes independent voting as easy as
voting straight tickets, enables illit-
crate voters to vote intelligently and
without possibility of mistake, cuts
down the expense of elections enor-
mously and may be counted at the rate
of from one hundred to one hundred
and fifty an hour.
The matter of adopting this ballot
was three times before as many legis-
latures in this sttae. Once it passed
both houses of the legislature and re-
ceived the signature of Governor (now
Senator) La Toilette, but failed to pass
a popular referendum to which 1t was
submitted. The next legislature It
passed the senate, but failed to pass in
in the house. It finally was passed by
the present legislature without condi-
tion as to its use by a decisive vote.

Davidson, who will sign it,

Rail contracts have aggregated so,
900 tons and contracts are now pending
for 100000 tons of which 100000 tons
are for the Hartman lines and have

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The following is clipped from the
daily press:
Richmond, Va, Aug. 28.-Richard
Evelyn Byrd, speaker of the house OF
delegates, yesterday indicated what he
believed would be the foremost matters
to engage the attention of the lawmak-
ers in January next. He outlined the
principal subjects to be considered by
the legislature as follows:
A primary election law, whereby all
parties-those which poll as many as
TO- 900 votes, say, at any general cleo
tion-shall be given the opportunity to
go to the polls and express at a primary
their choice of a nominee for any office
to be filled by the people of the State.
The State is to pay all expenses of the
election, the regular election officers to
serve, and the returns are to be made
to officials for canvass.
Speaker Byrd believes that the ques-
ton of examination of State banks
will be taken up and some method re-
garding same adopted.
The equalization of taxes is another
subject that will be discussed. The
speaker believes that board of equal
| iZation will be established. He inclineS
| to the belief that the State will receive
many hundreds of thousands of dollars
by this step, provided the law is care
fully drawn and the proper men are
| named for the discharge of the impor-
tant duties that will devolve upon the
officers.
Mr.. Byrd does not believe that there
will be any material change in the ex-
listing liquor laws. There will be some
amendments to the ''near beer" and
other 'nearo booze sections, but these
will be for the purpose of making the
laws palmer and more capable of con-
struction, rather than with view to
making stronger restrictions in con-
nectlon with the sale or handling of
liquors.
We are told that out of the mouths
of babes and stockings, but there is
wisdom elsewhere, and few nuggets
find their way now and then to the
public ear through other sources. Mr..
Byrd outlines policy for the Virginia
Legislature, just as if he had deed in
fee simple to the State. Possibly he
does have such deed, for he had just
attended meeting of the owners.
There were assem- led in that goodly
company Hon. Thos. S. Martin, U. S.
Senator; Hon. John w. Daniel, U. S.
Senator; Hon. HI. D. Flood, Congress-
man from the 10th district; Hon. Joe
Button, Insurance Commissioner; sew
eral Congressman from other districts,
and other distinguished men, and last,
but not least, the State Chairman and
nominee for Lieut.. Governor, Hon. j.
Taylor ElIyson. Inspired by such a
presence, and filled with the fire of
Democracy by nature and by associa-
ton with such apostles of the faith,
Mr.. Byrd spoke.
There is to be no whiskey legisla-
ton, he says. This must be comforting
to the Anti-Saloon League, who are
supporting Judge Mann so faithfully.
To them Mr.. Byrd says, sPeace, be
still" To the liquor men he says,
Crest troubled spirits, !" ssSweet dreams
be thine" and both have bowed meek
