TW0-CENT FARE
CASES

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct 20.-H
N. Gates of this city, who was ap-
pointed a special master by the court,
today began to take evidence in the
injunction suits brought by the rail-
roads of. South Dakota to prevent
the enforcement of either a 2-cent
or a 2 " cent fare in this state.
The legislature two years ago au-
thorized the railroad commission to
order a 2k -eent passenger rate if
the board found by inquiry that it
would be reasonable The board is
sued such an order, but the railroad
companies at once secured an in
junction. Before this case could be
heard the last legislature passed an
unqualified 2-cent fare law, but this
also was enjoined by the railroad
companies and, by order of Judge
Garland of the federal court, this case
was combined with that for a 2k =
cent fare.

cut the entire length of Wenatchee
avenue in the new concrete sidewalk

poles. The council last night i'm
structed the city attorney to take
legal steps to restrain the company
from the location of this pole line.
The holes that have been dug are
only about three feet distant Farm
ers' line poles and the location of
this additional line is a great dis
figurement in the street Papers
were served on Foreman Parker this
morning and work was Immediately
stopped.
The franchise of the Pacific States
company gives the company a right
to place the pole line on any streets
and alleys in the city desired and
there is no comon user clause in the
FRA Il ise The same clause is omitted
from the. Pacific States Co., the Far

poles in this city. The city council
has made a demand on the Pacific
States company not only to refrain
from further erecting poles but to re-
pair the damage done the walk by
cutting holes in them. 1t is said that
the crew has been expecting this no.
tice from the city for several days.

DEN0UNCES POS
TAI BANK
THE RETIRING UNITED STATES
TREASURER STRONGLY OP-
POSED TO PROPOSAL But DOES
FAVOR CENTRAL BANK

Boston. Oct. 2O.-Making probably
his last public appearance before his
retirement from the office of treas
arer of the United States on Noven-
ber /, Charles H. Treat of Washing
ton tonight addressed the bank Of
ficials' association upon "a National
Clearing House and Banking Cur
rency Problems" He said among
other things:
'The lessons of the recent panic
have emphasized the Importance of
having more coordination among the
banks. This desire has taken shape
more particularly in the advocacy of
a great central or clearing house
bank that would provide resources
wherein the banks could have ade-
quate facilities for rediscounting their
loans and thereby be afforded such
banking accommodations as business
requires.
while | am an advocate of CEN
trail bank or national clearing
house bank l am still convinced that
the people would not accept any cur
rency that did not have the govern
ment guaranty behind it.
"The extraordinary suggestion has
been made that in order to prevent
further depreciation of the 2 per cent
bonds experimental legislation au-
thorizing the establishment of postal
savings banks should be enacted. so
that the money savings of the peo-
pie might absorb the output of some
$730,O00.000 of 2 per cent bonds and
thereby safeguard the government
credit. Matters would seem to have
reached a deplorable condition If
the government credit has to take
such FORM"

JUDGE BURKE
MINISTER To
CHINA
PRIVATE ADVICES FROM Ma
Feet THAT SEATTLE'S WE'LL
KNOWN LAWYER GETS PLACE.

New York, Oct. 20.-Private ad.
vices received yesterday and today
from Washington are to the effect
that President Taft has offered Judge
Thomas Burke, of Seattle, the Chi.
nese portfolio made vacant by the
removal of Minister Crane. Some
significance is attached to severa,
private conversations between the
president and Judge Burke which
occurred during the formers visit tC
the Seattle fair.
Seattle, Oct. 20.-Judge Thomas
Burke, who has often been referred
to as "Seattle's most distinguished
citizen" may assume the portfolio o1
American minister to China, which
was recently taken from the reluctant
hand of former Minister Charles r
Crane, by Secretary of State Philan
der c. Knox. According to reports
of the most reliable character, the
intimation has been gently put te
Judge Burke that his name is under
consideration by President william
Howard Taft, in connection with the
matter of the selection of a diplomat
to serve in a situation in the Orien
which. students of Asiatic politics
say, may at any time develop a crisis
Strong corroboration is given tee
story of the offer of the mission to
China to the Seattle citizen, by the
fact that Judge Burke has for year:
been a recognized authority on Asia
tic affairs and as one possessed o,
particular knowledge of American in
terests in the Far East. The import
ance of the interests of Seattle and
the whole Pacific coast in the com.
merce with Japan and China is con
ceded to be compelling factor gov
erning the selection of a we'll equip
ped and capable minister from Amer
lea to China.

Here is a Sure Case of Jap Reincar.
nation.

nation.
Victoria, B. c., Oct. 20.-Tokyo
newspapers received by the Empress
of India yesterday discuss an alleged
case of reincarnation, first reported
by the Mainichi. The story is that
Araya Buhei, 27 years old, eldest
son of a Tokyo charcoal dealer, died
last February, and a minute record
of his name, date of birth, charac-
ter, ETC., was written on paper in
Japanese characters and placed in
the grave. Since, some time last
spring, the wife of a steward Of Pre-
mier Marquis Katsura gave birth to
son bearing on the arm the char
acters written and placed in the
grave of Araya Buhei. The Box Of
Curios, Yokohama weekly, says:
This statement has been verified
to a certain extent by trained nurse
in our employ who states that Araya
Buhei was her cousin, but that in
stead of writing the details as stated
by the Mainichi on a piece of pa
per, they were placed on the arm of
the deceased by his father with India
ink. She says that her uncle is a
strong believer in reincarnation and
he did as stated to test his belief
He now feels positive that his son
has been reincarnated. 1t seems to
us this is a matter worthy of investi-
cation by Japanese scientists. The
nurse said that the parents of her
reincarnated cousin are unknown to
her family"

Japanese Paper Predicts Another
War With Russia.

Victoria, B. c., Oct 20.-Prophe-
cies of a second war between Japan
and Russia are made by the Hochi
Sh1mbun, under the heading, "Su-
perficial Peace" The Tokyo news
paper was brought by the Empress of
India yesterday, and commenting on
an interview with B. Sasaki, a Jap
anese member of parliament return
ed from Siberia and Manchuria. says:
"In view of the fact that no small
sacrifices have been made for COM
pleting the military preparations in
Harbin and Vladivostok, and that a
strict and suspicious watch is being
kept on the actions of Japanese, it
will be quite obvious that the Rus
slams are thinking of a war of re-
venge.
"Vladivostok Is being extensively
fortified and only small part open
ed to trade. Of the 100000 inhabit-
ants $4,000 are soldiers. Now that
the right to construct the Kirin-
Hoiryong railway has been secured,
Japan should turn her exertions to
competition with Russia in Kirin and
Mongolia and checkmate Russia
seeking an outlet on the sea of Jap

council for a change in the sidewalk
plans in front of the livery stable
conducted by his company. The new

a change in the regrade. Mr.. Towne
stated that Mr.. Courtway would not
raise the building to grade and places
him as lessee in a bad predicament
and asked that the council allow him
to lower the sidewalk eight inches in
front of the barn during the life OF
his lease. He offered to give bond that
the sidewalk would be placed to
grade again and that the city would
not be Inconvenience by granting
