AND BROTHER DIE
Plan Arranged to Break News Gently
Is UnintentionaIIy interrupted
by Friend of Distin-
guished Man
[By Associated Press.I

CHICAGO, April PA pathetic story
of Adlai E. Stevenson's illness at a
hospital here has just come to light.
During the time the former vice pres
ident was i'll from the effects of an
operation his sister, Mrs. e. S. Nc
Caughrey of Sioux City, Iowa, died.
and two days later his brother, w. M.
Stevenson of Bloomington, ILL.,, also
passed away.
Fearing the effect of this news on
the patients mind, and fearing the
danger of accidental disclosure. his
Chicago friends decided to send for
his wife and to have her gently tell
him of one of the deaths.
When he recovered from the shock of
the operation and the shock of the first
information of death he was to be told
of the death of his sister. Mrs. Steven
son arrived Sunday morning and told
her husband of the death of his brother.
In the afternoon Judge Kohlsaat
visited the distinguished patient, but
his conversation could not draw the
mind of the afflicted man from his
grief. Mr.. Stevenson spoke to the judge
of the great blow his brothers death
had been to him. Supposing the sick
man knew of both deaths Judge Kohl
saat naturally remarked:
Yes, indeed, it must have been a
severe shock, coming along with the
death of your sister,
That was the former vice president s
first inkling of the second tragedy

Witness Says One Company Went So

SALT LAKE CITY, April 27.-The
introduction of testimony in the suit
of the United States government to
dissolve the alleged. illegal combination
of the Union Pacific, Southern Pacihc
and affiliated lines for the purpose of
crushing out competition was begun in
Salt Lake City today before Special
Examiner Sylvester G. Williams.
The government was represented by
C. A. Severance of st. Paul, Glen E..

for by r. S. Lovett of New York, chlef

railway merger in 1891 competition for

LITTLE BROWN MEN
BRIGHTEN CHICAGO
Driven from Coast Cities, So 1t Is
Claimed, Japanese Are Flocking
by Hundreds to Lake
City
Especial to The Herald

CHICAGO, April 27.-This city is ex-
perencing an unprecedented invasion
of Japanese. 1t is said single lodging
house at Fifty-first and Clark streets
is the headquarters for 700 new arriv-
ais, whereas three months ago there
were only 200 in the whole city. The
newcomers are artisans, domestic ser
wants and laborers, all strong and
vigorous. They assert they were
driven by persecution from California
and other Pacific coast states. Others
are to follow them.
r. Takahatchi, whose forefather
helped lay the corner stone of the mi
kados palace in Toxic, and who makes
his living as a teamster for a tea
house on Clark street, declares that
at the present rate of migration there
will soon be more Japanese in the east
than in the west.
"Those who are coming this way
now" he added, ARE used to manual
labor. They will not confine them
selves to work in private families,
hotels and clubs, as did most of their
predecessors. They are tending toward
trade unionism."

TO BANKERS CHAPTER

Members of the Los Angeles chapter
of the American Institute of Banking
held their annual banquet at the west
minister hotel last night. The feature
Of the evening was an address on Inc
Ranls's ONCE in Serving Industrial
Needs" by Lyman j. Gage, former
secretary Of the United States treasury
and one Of the best known financiers
in the country.
Mr. Gage in the course of his talk
declared that the great reforms winch
he admitted were necessary in the
banking system of the United States
could never be effectively and perma-
nently installed until the bankers OF
the country as a whole put aside all
personal interest and worked harmq-
niously for the enacting of legislation
which would place the profession on a.
much higher basis. He declared that
the banker was usually too much con-
cerned about the condition of his own

The cadets and sailors meantime
were enjoying the hospitality of the
Japanese association of Los Angeles.
Luncheon was served at Eastlake
park, with music furnished by the Jap
anese marine band.
From Eastlake park the party came
to Los Angeles, and at First and Main
streets divided into three sections, one
going down Main street, another Spring
street and the third Broadway.
At Ninth and Main streets the cadets
assembled and took cars for Long
Beach.
At Long Beach the visitors were en-
tertained by the Long Beach chamber
of commerce. A band concert and
sightseeing along the pike was in
cluded.
Today the other half of the cadets
and sailors who remained on board the
ships will be given the same oppor-
tunity of seeing Los Angeles, the plans
being in the hands of the Japanese as
ISOLATION.
The members of the mikado's navy
who were in Los Angeles yesterday
were greatly impressed by their visit
to the chamber of commerce. The tall
buildings of Los Angeles also aroused
their interest. for it was their first
visit to the big country across the
Pacific, which they had heard so much
about.
The conduct of the cadets while in
Los Angeles caused favorable comment.
Strict orders had been given that none
of the Japanese squadron should visit
saloons, and the order seemed to be
generally obeyed.
The sailors made a fine appearance,
all being short but of stocky build and
with an air of determination.
Although eager to see and inspect
everything of advantage, their agrees
siveness was orderly and their gentle
manly conduct was praised.
