JAPAN WANTS PEACE.
Policies of Late Prince Ito Will Be
Continued.

Toxic, Monday, Nov. pa con-
ference between Premier Marquis
I<atsura and ex-Premier Marquis
Saionji held recently was ostensibly
for the purpose of making assurance
more assured that the death of
Prince Ito would cause no change in
the policy of Japan either at home or
abroad. Marquis Saionjj is at pres
ent the leader of the party in power
in the diet with a majority over all
others and therefore the representa-
tive of probable policies in the COM
ing session
A semf-official report of this con-
ference appearing in what may be re-
garded as the organ of the premier.
the Kekumin Simbun states that 4
full agreement between the two states
men was reached and that the policy
outlined by Marquis KatSura during
his term of office for the last two
years namely, peaceful development
of Japanese resources and increasing
friendship with foreign countries was
adopted as the slogan of the Seiyukai
for the coming diet.
Popular miScOnception has since
the death of Prince Ito made of Mar
quis Katsura a militarist anxious to
plunge Japan into war. Nothing could
be further from the truth. Marquis
Katsura is an earnest advocate of
peace and his whole course since he
assumed the premiership has been
shaped with a view to increasing the
friendly relations of Japan with the
outside world, and more especially
with China.

MAY GET THEM MIXED.
The New Stamps Look Very Much
Alike.

Patrons of the Topeka postofice have
come 10 tie conclusion that one must
not be color blind or he is liable to
get the present series of postage stamps
mixed. If he is inclined not to be able
to distinguish shades he is liable to
put a IS cent stamp where one Of the
cent denomination is needed, or vice
versa.
The 1. 5. 8. and Is cent stamps look
alike. The 1 cent stamp is a green, an
emerald green at that. the cent is a
light blue; the S cert a very light green,
and the Is cent very light blue The
green's and blues while Lot exactly alike
in color are identical in design, and but
for the figures and the reading would
be alike.
With the and 10 cent stamps the
same trouble has been found, both of
them being yellow. The color is some
thing like the reverse side of a $40 bill,
and in view of this fact the government
has decided to print a 10 cent stamp
of a darker hue than the present one.
There is no trouble with the 13 cent
variety, although the stamp is not 6
opular one. according to the local post
Office authorities. The fact is that it is
an off-price, and the general supersti-
ton about 13 being unlucky. has some
thing to do with it. 1t is a beautiful
purple. but the royal Tyrian hue is I'M
able to make the stamp popular.

MRS. HARTMAN RELEASED.
Kansas Woman Held on Poisoning
Charge Is Sent Home.

St. Joseph, Mo. Dec. 16.-Mrs. Ella
Hartman, the cook who was arrested
in connection with the attempt to
poison Mrs. Robert E. Hastings, the
st. Joseph society woman. has been
released and sent to her home at
Seneca Kan. The police and the
woman's former employers are thor
oughly convinced that Mrs. Hartman,
who once was an inmate of the Kansas
asylum for the insane, is not mentally
responsible.
Mrs. Hartman apparently was sane
enough in discussing the poisoning
with the police, and she protested in
nocence. She freely agreed to return
to Seneca and hot come back to st.
Joseph.
A search of Mrs. Hartman's effects
failed to reveal any strychnine or
other poison, and the police believe it
possible that some other person is the
would-be murderer of Mrs. Hastings.
Consequently they have not dropped
the case. A domestic formerly en-
ployed in the Hastings home may be
the real guilty one. it is believed. She
was discharged some time ago and is
said to have made threats at the time.
The nurse who was made violently
i'll by drinking the cup of coffee served
to Mrs Hastings last week, is yet con-
fined to her bed, but the physicians
say that she is out of danger.

IS READY TO PAY.
Another Sugar Company Anxious to
Settle With Uncle Sam.

New York, Dec. 16.-Sensational de-
velopmentS in the sugar scandal follow
ing -r--'- and fast upon one another
were supplemented today by rumors of
other important disclosures impending.
One of these related to the reported
finding of an Indictment against man
higher up in the councils of the
American Sugar Refining company, and
the further report that the official
probers into the underweighing frauds
through which the government has
been cheated out of millions were about
prepared for a disclosure that would fix
responsibility in still higher quarters.
Developments. following yesterdays
payment by the Arbuckles of nearly
100000 to reimburse the United States
treasury for deficits due to false weigh
ing, included the announcement that
another of the big sugar refining COM
panies was prepared to settle with the
government as the Arbuckles had done,
as soon as it had been officially in
formed Of the amount the government
claimed to ~ due.
This company was the National Sugar
Refining company, next to the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company in the ex-
tent of its operations. The Nationals
president. James H. Post, stated that
the government investigators had been
going over the books of the company
for months and recently had informed
him +'-"- the company owed the govern
ment more than 100000 in uncollected
duties.
No demand for restitution had been
made on the officials of the National
company up to today. President Post
stated, however, that at a conference
with the governments special counsel
today it was probable an agreement
would be reached on an amount which
the company would turn over to meet
the claim of the Investigators.
Arguments were heard today in the
trial of the six employees of the sugar
refining company accused IF conspiracy
to defrau I'D and 1t was expected that the
case would go to the jury before night
