FIGHT IN JAPAN IS
LIKE THE PEARY-COOK.
WOrdy Warfare s Waged Over Descent
Made Into Crater by Chicago
Professor.

VICTORIA, Sept. 27.-Wordy war
fare in the English newspapers in Japan
similar to the PearyCook controversy in
the United States was being waged when
the steamer Empress of China sailed.
The controversy in Japan is with re-
gard to a descent made last month into
the crater of Mt. Asama by Prof Jay
]. Rogers of Chicago. The professor tele-
graphed the particulars of the exploit to
Yokohama newspapers telling of sensa-
&ional experiences when lowered on a
rope by four other persons into the era
ter. DR.. Clay McCauley of Boston, au-
thor and missionary, wrote ''in the inter
est of truth" stating that Prof. Rogers
had greatly magnifed the adventure, and
instead of being lowered into the crater
had crawled down the rough slope lead
ing into it.
Since then friends of both have been
busy, and columns are being devoted to
letters and photographs.

NEGAUNEE (MICH) MANS SECRET
BECOMES KNOWN AFTER HIS
..... PASSING AWAY.
AVENGES SISTERS BETRAYAL.
Dublin Law Student Shoots Classmate
Whose Faithlessness Breaks Hearts
of Victim and Mother.
SLAYER LIVES IN NORTH WOODS.

NEGAUNEE, Mich, Sept. 27.-LSpe-
ciaL l-Slaying his sisters betrayer, an
Irish lord, and fleeing to America from
ireland after thus taking revenge on
his cLassmate, John Fitzgerald, son of
wealthy Killarney parents, first sought
solitude in the United States army In
Texas. then came to the north woods,
where for twenty years his life's story
has been kept a secret and his identity
hidden under the alias of Joseph Muir
ply. His death here several days ago,
unlocked the lips Of a friend to whom
Fitzgerald had confded the story of his
early history.
Killarney His Birthplace.
Born of wealthy parents at Killarney,
Ireland, Fitzgerald was given good ed
ucation and entered the Dublin univer-
sity to fit himself for the law.
In his final year at that school his sis
ter was betrayed by Lord Brassy, a
classmate, and her death followed. The
shock killed her mother, and at her
death Fitzgerald and younger brother
vowed they would kill the betrayer of
their sister.
The brothers started out armed and
John Fitzgerald found the scoundrel in
Dublin. Fitzgerald shot Lord Brassy
dead and was arrested while bending
over the body. He was rescued from
Jail by a powerful Irish society and spir-
tied to Paris.
Flees to America.
Fitzgerald came to America and at
once enlisted in the army under the
name of Joseph Murphy and was sta
toned at San Antonio, Texas. One day
English army officers were reviewing the
troops and Fitzgerald was recognized.
He received warning from fellow SOL
diers and deserted.
Coming to Michigan, Fitzgerald buried
himself away from the world and kept
his secret for over two decades. All
efforts of his relatives to locate him were
futile until two years ago, when by ad-
vice Of a friend he wrote to a sister.
She at once answered, enclosing a letter
she had written twenty years ago, and
which had been returned to her.
Brilliant and Refined.
Fitzgerald was a man Of brilliant mind
and it could be readily seen that he
possessed an excellent education and
was not the character he posed while in
this section.
He left a will dated June 10, 1908,
In which he claimed to own property to
the value of $4,000 in Limerick, Ire
land, willed to him by his father. He
desired his friend to communicate with
his brother, Dan Fitzgerald, who would
give him full authority to dispose of the
property, which he wills to friends in Es-
canada, who took care of him for many
years.

CHILDREN ARE IN PANIC
JERSEY CITY IN. j. PUPILS MIS-
TAKE FIREWORKS FOR BOMBS.
Rumors That Schools Would Be Dyna-
mited Cause Italian Celebration to
Strike Terror.

JERSEY CITY, N. J., Sept ga
panic among the 1000 pupils of St. An
thongs Polish parochial school, caused
by the explosion of fireworks i'll the
street near by, resulted today in the in
believed to be fatally hurt. Many others
with minor bruises were taken home,
but fifteen were sent to the hospitals.
Reports that some of the Jersey City
schools would be dynamited had been
circulated for several days, and when
Italians began to explode fireworks in
the street in front of church next door
in celebration of a festival the children
thought the school building was being
blown up. They made a rush for the
doors, but found them closed.
In the scramble to escape many of the
children were knocked down and tram
pied upon until the pressure forced the
doors open. Then the frightened chill
dren ran among the exploding fireworks
and some of the children were burned.

GIVES SQUAWS LIQUOR
INDIAN FARMER SERO TELLS SEN
ATOR LA TOILETTE OF ACTS.
Senate Committee Spends Day in Ash
land and Leaves for La Flambeau
Reservation.

ASHLAND, Wis, Sept. 27.-[Spe-
cial. lit was almost o'clock Sunday
morning when the Senate committee on
Indian affairs concluded it's investiga-
ton at Odanah. Sunday forenoon Sena-
tors Clapp, La Toilette, Page and
Brown had boat ride on Chequamegon
bay and an informal dinner was given
In their honor at the Hotel Knight Sun
day afternoon by Indian Agent Camp
bell.
The investigation at Odanah has been
very searching. The Indians have for
half century been in the habit of send
ing delegations to Washington to inter-
view the "Great White Father and now
that representatives Of the white Fa-
Their" have camped in their midst, they
have talked at great length, the sessions
not ending later than 1 o'clock every
night.
The outcome may ultimately put back
on the reservation the Morrisons, John
Doherty and Frank Murray, provided
they sign agreements to behave here
after. Assistant Farmer Norber Sero
will in all likelihood have to go. Sero
was convicted by a jury of a statutory
at Ashland last winter and few weeks
ago she signed an affidavit that her testi-
mony convicting Sero was false.
Senator La Toilette, after asking Sero
if he had not broken up Dan Morrison s
home, sent, for the woman at Red Wolff,
put her on the stand and she testified
that her second affidavit was made I'M
der a misrepresentation.
The testimony shows that Sero and Gov
eminent Agent Brents, while getting
testimony to show that liquor was sold
on the reservation, gave liquor to the
two Indian women, Mrs. Dan Morrison
and Mrs. Gosling. This and other testi-
mony will likely result in Sero losing his
job.
Sunday evening the senator's left Ash
land for the La Flambeau Indian reser-
walton.

SLIGHT EARTHQUAKE
FELT IN FOUR STATES.
Missouri, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana Re-
port Tremors, but No Damage
Is Done.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Sept. ga slight
earthquake which was felt through
southeastern Missouri and in southern
and central Illinois. Indiana and Ohio,
occurred early today. In st. Louis the
tremor came at 3:47 o'clock. So far as
has been learned little or no damage re-
suited.
The general direction of the shock was
west to east. and it was felt more clear
~ in thinly settled districts. Villages
west of St. Louis reported the destruc
ton of a few chimneys. In the west end
of this city the residence district, many
sleepers were awakened. The quake
was scarcely in evidence in the down
town districts. only a few Of the many
guests in the larger hotels being dis
turbed.
Reports Of the phenomenon were re-
ceived from all stations on the Mobile
& Ohio railway as far as Cairo, III. In
Decature. Nation and other towns in
central Illinois there were shocks at
practically the same time.
A settling of the earth's crust, with
the seat of the disturbance many miles
distant. is generally accepted cause OF
the quake. Probability Of renewal of
the shock is negatived by local sci
entists.

TWELVE DIE IN OCEAN.
Six Survivors of Foundered Vessels
Crew Are Safe Aboard Lightship
Off Atlantic Coast.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 27.-Six
survivors out of a crew of eighteen are
aboard the winter quarter lightship, the
remaining twelve men having persisted,
according to a report made by Capt
which arrived here today from New
York. The captain Of the lightship said
by megaphone that there were aboard his
vessel six survivors from the Inflated
ship, and asked that they be taken off if
possible Capt Delano decided that it
would be tempting death again to try to
make the transfer under the weather
conditions prevailing.
Those on the hghtship were apparently
satisfied to wait better weather and an
other passing ship. Those on the Porto
Rico said that they could see small
boat hanging to the rear of the lightship.
The little craft was badly battered, and
it is believed that the men saved made
their way in it to the lightship.

effect that his injuries were not fatal
His wife hurried to Chicago on an early

w. Mcdonald, boarding at S5S South

was badly injured, but his injuries are
not believed to be fatal.
William Collins, engineer of the stock
train, escaped without injury, and Peter
