Knox Makes Qualified Statement
of Departments Stand
in Matter.
AGREES WITH THE OPEN DOOR
No Direct Denial Yet That the
United States Protested
Against 1t.
(By associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, November To- The
state department for the first time yes
terday made statement touching on
the Japan China treaty, over which the
United States is supposed to have en-
tered a protest at Toxic. 1t is to the
effect that the treaty is not a viola
ton of the principle of the open door
in China.
So far this is the only word given
to the outside world by Philander c.
Knox. secretary of state. relative to
the strong rumors of the American
protest over the treaty, which ema.
mated from Hawaii, following a report
to a japanese newspaper there from n
Toxic correspondent.
The wording of Seeretary's Knox IS
statement is such that it can not be
taken as denial that a protest was
entered. Taken altogether with the
policy of the administration regarding
diplomatic affairs and the failure of a
direct denial, it is thought to mean
that America did protest, and Japan
has explained her stand in the treaty
as not a breach of the open-door pol
icy, which explanation has been found
satisfactory to the state department.

ESTABLISH PRECEDENT
FOR SUPREME COURT
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. November I6.-Fof
the first time in the history of the
American judiciary. the United States
Supreme Court has ruled on an appeal
from a decision Of lower court SEN
fencing a man for contempt of court.
This ruling was made yesterday when
the decision Of Tennessee court sen
fencing the ex-sherff of Chattanooga
and his assistant jailor to niety days in
Jail was upheld. The officers were cited
for contempt after PERMITTING a mob
to storm the jail and seize a negro
against whom popular Indignation was
aroused and who was lynehed Four
Of those who assisted at the
lvnchihg were also cited for con-
tempt and included in the decision of
the highest court of the land.
The decision is more far-reaehing
than it at first appears. BY virtue Of
the precedent, the proceedings against
those who lynch, or attempt to
lynch, prisoners who are under the pro-
lection Of the law will be stricter and
it may have the effect Of abolshing
Judge Lynch from the southern
States altogether.

in Washington of recent days on his
way to New York. He improved the
opportunity to meet Director Ralph of
the bureau of engraving and printing,
and other treasury officials. With some
of these he discussed the feasibility
of getting certain printing, which the
Territory has been getting done at
private establishments, done by the
treasury authorities.
He also called at the interior de-
partment to pay his respects to Sec
rotary of the Interior Ballinger, with
whom he had a very satisfactory con
versation, of an informal character,
about Hawaii. He found Secretary
Ballinger not only distinctly friendly
to the Islands, but keenly interested
in governmental affairs there and
ready to advance the legitimate inter
ests of Hawaii in any way he reason
ably can. Secretary Ballinger familiar
lied himself with the Hawaiian exhibit
at Seattle, which he regarded as very
creditable.

The reports presented reflected fair

He WANTED To
BRIDE BROWN
But Brown Wouldn't Bride Worth
q Cent, and Hindu Finds
Himself in PiIikia.

Because he is willing to pay 800 for
the privilege, Bhogoran, Hindu, will
remain some time longer in Hawaii
nei. However, he will be disappointed
in part, for the 800 was offered for
permission to stay for unlimited time.
whereas it will keep him here but n
few weeks longer at the most. And
the most peculiar phase of the trans.
action is that the money was never
paid, it being offered to Inspector in
Charge Raymond c. Brown of the Unit.
ed States immigration Service. In the
plainest of kings English, the money
was offered as bribe and turned
down.
Bhogoran was luekier than ten com.
panions who accompanied him from the
jungled shores of India, for eleven
were held up in the immigration sta
ton for having trachoma, and ten were
sent back on the Siberia last night,
their stay in Hawaii being limited to
little over twenty-four hours. But
Bhogoran was so insistent that he was
permitted to remain while his ease is
investigated. But Brown didn't take
the bride. Uncle Sans officials are,
somehow, backward that way.
The Hindu was frank enough in hi,
way. He claimed that he didn t know
he was doing anything particularly
wrong, as, he said, it was always nee
essary to buy down the officials sat
home. /" He was not very compliment
tary to the authorities of India, and,
judging from the trend of his state
ments, the Turkish officials, who were
long supposed to hold record for sci,
entific corruption, have close rivals.
! Perhaps Bhogoran was a little sore
because he ran up against an Indian
! official some time who surreptitiouslv
assessed him a little over proper linn
its, but, at any rate, Bhogoran offered
| the bribe as matter of course, and
| had it all ready. Perhaps it is only
| smooth oriental trick for getting il
over obstacles. Maybe it will work
and maybe it won't.
Bhogoran is touehy on religion
Brown asked him offhand in the Unit

Miles Away.

Manager Balch of the local wireless

kio, giving additional instructions as
to the manner in which the system of
wireless signal tests, by which Hawaii
will try to reach Japan, shall be con-

the japanese stations. The bureau re-
quests that the signals be exchanged
about the middle of December.

Gently inspected the Kahuku plant, and
arranged for signal tests to be held
yesterday. is now on the mainland, and
additional information received from
him postponed these tests until Thurs
day of this week, when the operator
at Kahuku will throw in full power
and endeavor to bridge the air dis
tance between here and the Japan
coast
The letter from the bureau of cleo
trical exploitation embodies detailed
instructions for the latter tests. The
writer says that their station J. o. I.
will call H. e. (Kahuku) and give
the call signal H. Z. K. F., calling the
first ten minutes of each hour from
eleven in the morning and ending ten
minutes after four in the afternoon, on
December Is, Greenwich time. Their
J. Q. I. station will call Kahuku at
intervals on December 16. Then the
Japanese station J. T. NJ. will call Ka-
huku at the same intervals on Deem
Der II. The Kahuku station will call
J. 0. l., J. C. S. and J. T. NJ, at in
tervals on the 18th and 10Th. The
japanese official believes that better
results viii be found at J. o. [. and
J. c. S. stations than at J. T. NJ, be-
cause of their more advantageous posi-
ton, which has been established for
experimental purposes in the compound
of the department. building at Toxic
just where the japanese stations are
in. Japan, Balch does not know, but
the wireless spark, if stout enough,
will search them out

K. F. have been especially selected
for the purpose of trial communication
with view to enabling the operators
at both sides to detect at once where
the signal comes from.
