TRYING TO LOCATE
 VISION IN BLUE
 BURGLAR DISGUISED
Especial from United Press.l

Especial from United Press.l
 Manchester, Mass, Aug. 13.-Pinker- ton detectives and plainclothes men from half a, dozen Massachusetts towns are at work here today endeavoring to locate .'vision in blue' who robbed the country home of Gerard Comedy, vice president of the Eliot National Bank of Boston, here, of $2.000 in cash and jewels. Entrance was gained to the Comedy home while the servants were at dinner, but the family next door on the second story believe the burglar was disguised as woman. Such a person was seen about the grounds shortly before the robbery was discovered, and it is believed the modish woman's clothing was the dis guise adopted by the thief to cover his operation. When the robbery was discovered a, room on the second story had been ransacked. The Comedy burg lary is but one of many which have occurred among the fashionable homes in this vicinity.

BULKELEY TO SUPPORT LAKE
 FOR GOVERNOR
United States Senator Win Yoke DO Witb
 the Ex.H arvard Football Man.

Hartford. Aug. 13.-A political coali- 'tion of great significance became known here last night and it's one that will have an important bearing on the guberDatorial fight. which has. even at this, early stage of the game, at tracted more attention than any con- test of the ''big ones' that the state has known in years.
 It can be stated positively that United States Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley not only will lend a helping hand. but will get right aboard the band wagon, in an effort to land his esteemed fellow townsman Everett J. Lake in the chair of the governor at the election in 1910 The fact that Bulkeley would get in the yoke with Lake will come as big surprise to many and it won't take spy glasses to discover split in the big ring here tofore known as the Bulke1ey-F>ylerA Gates combination. And all this is due to the senatorial contest.
 That O. R. Fyler, fami1iarly known as Boss Fyler. is going to use all of his powerful influence in behalf of George F. Mclean is we'll known, but that MT. Fylcr's side partner in things for somebody on the other side of the fence was hardly taken for granted. The support of Lake for governor means the support of Buikeley for senator.
 With Senator Bu1keley pulling for Lake there will also be Gates, Brande- gee, Hawley. and kenealy, wing of the senatorial faction. A
 It will be remembered that at the last Republican convention Senator Bulkeley was one of those in Lieuten- ant Governor Lakes box, and after it was all over the senator patted the de- feated candidate on the back and ex- claimed. Everett. you made a good showing"

 writes: Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so dis dressing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symp- toms of hay fever, and a doctors pre- scription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed only to aggravate it. Fortunately I Insisted upon having Foley's Honey and Tar. It quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley's Honey and Tar with the same success" F. B. Brill, local agent. "135

Justice Wright has succeeded in one
thing, he has brought himself proml-
nently before the public eye. That
prominence is apt to prove his I'M
doing. however. for his decision seems
to have been made entirely from a
prejudicial standpoint. If the people
never detied unjust judges nor resisted
tyrannical officials there would be no
such thing as liberty. There is a GER

too often violated by those who would
administer it and teh decision of Jus
tlce Wright is an evidence of this.

At its inception DIR. Shahan was

DOES JAPAN WANT WAR?

There is growing belief that a
conflict with Japan cannot long be
avoided. War seems inevitable and
the Japanese. from appearances at
least. are active in their preparations
fer it. In their own country they are
building a number Of warships and
training their young men in the dis
cipline of arms. From reports at hand
they are fast foclsing into the Phil
ippines, the Sandwich Islands and in
to California. over 100000 men Of
that race are now known to be on
the Pacific coast and a large majority
a moments notice.
President Roosevelt made a most
Sc rious mistake some months ago
when he yielded to Japanese dicta-
tion as to matter of American legis
lation in pressing his personal inf1u-
ence into service against the best
Judgment of the people Of California
in the regulation Of their state af
fairs He is yet to see the error
only last week when he called on the
legislature of California not to press
any anti Japanese legislation. IF
YOU do" said the President in sub
stance. Japan will get mad and the
consequences will be most appalling"
Bearing upon this matter former May
or James D. Phelan of San Francisco
has this to say:
while | agree with the President,
that it is best to wait. I am forced to
say that the time will come when
California will have to take action
We feel the injury. Let the State and
nation provide the remedy. . Do
not the Japanese appreciate the fact
that our people and their people can
not live together?. We cannot absorb
to be driven out of the fairest land
under the sun. That is the question.
There is mo question in the minds Of
those familiar with the situation that
the Japanese are a, menace to the in
terests of California. 1t is no long
er question Of experiment with us:
we need no education. Of our own
knowledge we realize the danger, and
California is the outpost Of the rest
of the country. There are in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 Japanese in
the state. and they are making great
inroads upon the business interests.
They displace our population and pre-
vent a desirable competition. 1t is a
question whether California shall be
a. white mans country. or whether it
shall belong to the Japs."
1t is plainly evident from what Mr..
Phelan says that the Japanese, are
growing eager for the fray. Their
own country is entirely too small for
them. 1t is already over-populated.
They want the Philippine islands just
as they desired Corea and will fight
for them. without any regard for the
rules Of civilized warfare, they will

WILL NOT SEEK cLEMENcY.

The three leaders of organized la
Dor. Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell
and Frank Morrison, recently made q

condemnation to prison by Justice
Wright of the District of Columbia.
In connection with the injunction is
sued against them in the matter Of

manly course in view of all the cir
cEmstances.

generation in a prison would mean
to us. To ask pardon would render
useless all the trial and sacrifice which
our men Of labor and our friends in
all walks of life have endured, that
the rights and liberties of our people
might be restored. Such a
pardon would only leave the whole
case in confusion and it would have

So far as the statement goes it is
alleged therein that there was no in
tention to violate the injunction. The
claim is specifically made that Mr.
Gompers removed the name of the
stove company from what has been
termed unfair" list of the Federation
of Labor as soon as the injunction be-
came operative and that Mr.. Mitchell

and hundreds of apparently doomed

noblest triumph of science in our day,
the grandest disqualification Of the ac-

no man living can tell us what is the
