MANY JAPANESE
SWARM SEATTLE
THOUSANDS OF ORIENTALS AT
CELEBRATION
Nipponese Make and Hear Speeches,
and Interesting Program Is
Enjoyed by Immense
Thronq
tBy Associated Press. ]

SEATTLE, Sept. 4.--Never outside Of
sembled as were gathered in the Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific exposition grounds
today to celebrate Japanese day. Seven
thousand of the emperor'S subjects live
in and near Seattle, and nearly all of
them visited the fair at some time dur
ing the day.
In the two parades through the city
streets and the national pageant
through the fair grounds the mixing OF
old and new Japan was somewhat in
congruous, but everything was pic
turesque.
The city parade was led by mount
ed Samurai warrior in suit of mail
and a white bandage about his head,
and looking like a picture from the
middle ages.
Close upon his heels came dozens Of
automobiles carrying dignified brown
men wearing frock coats and high hats.
The young women in automobiles
that followed the commissioners were
dressed and acted like American girls.
Make Many Speeches
The Japanese are as fond of making
and listening to speeches as the Amer
leans, and the commercial commission
GERS spent nearly half the afternoon in
the exposition auditorium exchanging
expressions of good will with their
American hosts. Every speech, English
or Japanese, was translated. Baron
Shibusawa, the principal speaker for
the Japanese today, said:
Japan in the last fifty years has sent
to America two important diplomatic
missions. The first, in 1860, a large
party of more than fifty met with a
grand reception, which is still remem-
bered in japan.
"The other, in 1871, had more than
fifty members and also was warmly
welcomed These missions did much
to promote good feeling and trade be-
tween the countries, but the present
occasion is the first when Japan has
sent a strictly commercial delegation
to America.
Sent by People
"Whereas the two important commits
sions just mentioned were sent by the
government of Japan, the present one
is sent by the people and its object is
to complete and consolidate for all time
the relations of good neighbors and
friendship so well promoted by the two
political missions.
Its object, to be more precise, is TO
Law the foundations of friendly rela-
tions between the two countries on the
sure basis of commerce and mutual IN
terest.
"Only four days have passed since
our party arrived in Seattle. but we
have received such undeniable marks
of good will and courtesy toward us
and our country on the part of Ameri-
cans of all classes Nhat 1T seems the
whole people of the United states had
formed themselves into committee OF
reception.
This convinces us that the success
of the mission is desired not only by
the Japanese people but by the whole
people of America"

display of daylight fireworks. Later

TRAIN WRECKERS
HUNDRED DETECTIVES SEEK
WOULD-BE ROBBERS
BIoodhounds Are Put Out to Capture
Men Responsible for Death
of Three Pas
sengers
[By Associated Press.l


NEWCASTLE, Pa, Sept. 4,-Over a
hundred detectives are here tonight
Strengthening out a maze of bewilder-
ing clews that may lead to the discoV-
cry of the person or persons who are
responsible for the ditching of the
Royal Blue limited, en- route from
New York to Chicago. at CheWton.
Tonight the consensus of opinion was
expressed by one of the Baltimore H
Ohio police when he said:
1.-THE train wreckers are in the Vicin-
ity of Newcastle. They have not at
tempted to fee, nor will they"
1t is generally believed that the work
was either that of experienced railway
men or at least persons familiar with
the operation of the railway and its
train schedules. All of the injured at
the local hospitals will recover. Sew
enteen persons are being cared for at
the railway company's expense.
Gets Fortune Back
Late today $4,000 was deposited at
local bank by railway secret service
men to the credit of Henry Millard of
La Forge, Wis, who lies injured at
the Shenango sanitarium. Millard car
ried a grip containing this amount in
negotiable bonds, securities and cash
and had placed the Satchel under
seat in the day coach. When the train
was ditched the satchel was lost, but
it was later recovered by railway en-
ployes.
Blue limited, on the Baltimore &s Ohio
railroad, which occurred at 1925 this
morning, is now, believed to have been
caused for the purpose of robbing the
express car, which is known to have
contained a large sum of money
shipped from New York to western
banks.
The Baltimore & Ohio officials admit
the accident is a pure case of train
wrecking and Immediately following
the wreck stationed armed guards
about the express car.
At o'clock it is said but two per-
sons were killed and fifty were injured,
a large number of them seriously. The
train was westbound from Pittsburg to
Chicago Two miles from Newcastle
at a little place called Chewton, Pa,
the best train on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad suddenly ran into misplaced
rail.
Removed Fish Plates
Wreckers had removed two fish plates,
moved the north rail inside and had
pulled out the spikes. The entire train
was thrown from the track The great
speed with which it was travelling
caused all the cars and engine or the
train to topple over on its side and
slip with force over small embank-
ment.
Engineer John Dill and Baggageman
John Wheatcroft were horribly crushed,
death being instantaneous. OF the
thirty or fifty passengers hurt. many
of them are in a serious condition.
Among the injured was j. o. Kava-
naugh of Baltimore. Md, chief boiler

From indications it is apparent the
wreck was the work of train robbers
after the express car valuables. The
officials are inclined to believe the

TRIAL Lasted Five Weeks

The time devoted to the trial was
five weeks, exactly the time consumed
in procuring a jury for the first trial
of Pat Calhoun, which resulted in
disagreement.
"Do we look tired?" asked Juryman
Sheets ON dismissal by the Judge after
the verdict had been rendered. sOn
receiving an affirmative answer, he
said: I'll never serve on a jury again,
never!"
Not one of the jurymen would say
who had been the three who, through
the long hours of day and night, held
out for conviction.
''Was it the characterl of Oswald?"
was asked of several. and in each case
the answer was the same mo, it
wasn't that" and that was all they
would say.
1t may have been the appearance of
Broadhead, the defendant, for what he
has seemed to be, without regard to
anything he has done or has not done,
waiting with his outward appearance
of stoicism unchanged through all the
days of the trial. laughing sometimes,
good natured always. and never drop
ping the mask of his feelings till the
verdict was rendered.
Then he seemed undecided for an
instant, whether to thank the jury or
do something else. He did not wait.
at the moment. to thank the jury, but
ran for telephone.
First Tremble in Voice
"What did she say?" was asked him
as he came back from the phone.
1.-THE wife?" he asked. "She only
said, I'm glad. darling"
His voice trembled a little for the
first time since the trial began.
my whole thought has been of her."

ate, even tone of voice. "She has had
the hardest burden to bear. My whole
thought has been for her welfare and
health.
What? The future? Don't ask me
about that. Tonight is enough for me.
The wife is happy and ] am happy
with her tonight After ALL is there
anything else in life but the joy of
one moment at a time for those we
love and for ourselves? You can say
this, / am,happy tonight.2
OF all the figures in this remarkable
trial he, the defendant. has been the
most remarkable, quietly waiting, be-
hind the impenetrable mask which con-
ceals his feelings, never impatient,
never sullen in his demeanor, waiting
for whatever outcome the fates might
have in store for him. He seemed to
have learned the lesson of how circum-
stances play strange tricks with the
lives of men and accepted it.
And the jurymen said 1T was not
what Oswald was" and would say no
more.
Locked Up. Friday Night
Friday night the jury was locked up
at 1850, to be called at $3.50 the fol-
lowing morning. Before the time set
persons interested or curious began
struggling into the court room of de-

man, Foreman Hassen, had changed his
mind, when the jury again took its

the question of the court, as to whether

swered:

through Captain Robert Bartlett, OF
the Roosevelt, Peary's ship"
DR.. Frederick A. Cook was seated at
dinner, surrounded by Dnlnant com
pany, when the news of Peary's dis
covery was received in Copenhagen.
DR.. Cook was immensely interested,
and said: THAT is good news. l
hope Peary did get to the pole. His
observations and report on that region
will confirm mine"
And thus it seems that the North
Pole has been doubly discovered.
Two Americans have planted the
flag of their country in the land OF
Ice, which man has sought to pene-
rate for four centuries; and each ig.
uorant of the others conquest has sent
within a period of five days lacontc
message of success.
On September /, DIR. Cook sent out
from the Shetland islands the first
message of his success, a message
which has aroused a storm of contro-
versy around the world. And now
Robert E. Peary lost from view in the
| land of ice, and unheard from since
August, 1908, has startled the world
by a similar message sent from In
dian Harbor, Labrador. There was nj
qualification; 1t left no doubt.
With but a word from Peary, th'
world waits for details, but none will
be available until he arrives at Cha
teau Bay, Labrador.
1t was comparatively simple mat
ter to ascertain that the April re
ferred TO by Peary was April of thi
year, as his expedition id not star
from New York until July 7, 1908.
From the time Peary wrote his las
letters home from his depot OF SUI
plies at Etah in August, 1908, until h
flashed the magic words from India
Harbor, nothing was known of tn
: fight he had been making across tn
5 frozen crust of the north.
