TO President TAFT

Say, Bill.
Somebody's going to jump on you.
But when, or where, or how,
Or why he's going to do II, Bill,
Nobody knows Just now.
There's no good reason why he should,
As far as can be seen,
For everything In sight thus far
Is mighty nice and clean.
The whole darn nation seems to think
That William Is the goods.
And you are there to pull the push
Out of the recent woods.
Nobody says n word but praise.
The North and South unite
In one broad sentiment. to wit:
That you're all right, all right.
But, Bill,
Somebody's going to jump on you;
We feel In In the air.
And presently you1l get a jar.
And know that something's there.
You're trying to do your level best,
But mind It won't be long
Until you've done some sort OF deed
Somebodyll think is wrong,
And then you'll get 1t, good and hard
For having rudely thrown
Some other mans opinion down
And holding up your own.
It's bound to be that way because
II always IL, and what
Is always is always, although
A new mans on the spot.
DO what you will,
I The best or III,
No matter what you do
Get ready now to take It. Bill.

JAPANESE GIVE NO
SIGN OF ANGER,

TOXIC Feb. 6.-The passage by the
Lower House Of the Nevada Legislature
OF an anti.Japanese resolution was re-
ceived here with remarkable ind!ffer-
ence. The publication Of the text Of the
resolution aroused active resentment
only In the columns OF the second-rate
press. The leading newspapers in COM
menting on the resolution pointed out
the fact that Nevada was small! State
and did not necessarily represent the
sentiment OF the American people.
Foreign Minister komorua, In ad-
dressing the House of Lords to-day. re-
peated verbatim the speech he made In
the. Diet few days ago: His remarks
caISed no discussion. The absence OF
extended comment on the situation In
the Japanese newspapers Is believed to
be due to the resolutions OF the New
York Board of Trade and President
Roosevelt's letters and kilograms to
Gov Gillett, OF California. all OF which
have been fully reported to the local
notwithstanding the improved tone OF
the press, 1t is quite evident that the
recent action of the California and
Nevada Legislatures has created feel
ing among commercial men and even
in the official element which Is calcu-
lated to damage the position OF the
United states with Japan, which form
erly was becoming steadily stronger
Even among the better classes the
Japanese find II impossible to conceal
their chagrln Mt the response OF the
INIT ed States to Japan's hospitality to
the officers and men OF the battle-sh!p
heet and other visitors from America.

Counsel for Cars Govern

TO Produce Evidence,
THE REFUGEE OBJECTS.
His Lawyers Assert That the
State Department Is Inter.
fering in the Case.
THE REFUGEE OBJECTS.

The Russian Government. through is
counsel, Frederic r, Coudert, to-day
asked for a sixty days extension OF time
in which to get the evidence from Rus
STA to prove that Jan Pouren. the
refugee, was guilty Of extrad!table Of
lenses and should be deported to stand
trial In Russia, The motion was op.
posed by Simon Pollock and Prof Isaac
Hourwich. appearing for the defendant
Prof Hourwich declared that the Rus
4. sian Government had far exceeded tht
+ time that should be allowed to prepare
| the case. He contended that the limit
was forty days from the time OF the
mans arrest and that further exten'
sion OF twenty days was all that could
be granted. The case has now been or
for more than four months, and he asked
United States Commissioner Samuel NJ
Hitchcock to close the case at once.
State Department Pea.
Mr.. Coudert and his assistant. John
Murray, brought out the point that the
State Department had asked that the
Russian Government be given every op-
: portunty to get In Its testimony. AS.
sistant United States Attorney Dorr was
present on behalf Of the State Depart.
ment,
In rebuttal Prof. Hourwich declared
that the department had no right 20 In.
terfere after the proceedings had started,
and in confederation Of this he produced
q letter from Elihu Root. dated Jan. 10,
In which the Secretary Of State said
that the department and the President
had no right to interfere In the case,
as 1t was following the usual judicial
course and the executive branches had
no authority to infringe upon the pre-
negatives OF another branch OF the
Government This letter was written to
President Roosevelt when he referred
to the State Department a petition from
the American Federation OF Labor
pleading for clemency for Pouren.
The defendants counsel contended
that as the State Department had no
authority to interfere after the matter
was placed in the hands OF United
States Commissioner. It had no right
to thrust itself into the case, pract,-
cally as IN aid to the Russian Govern.
ment.
No Mention Of Roosevelt.
He made no mention Of the fact at
the hearing to-day that the chief coun-
sci for Pouren, Herbert T. Parsons,
had conferred with President Roosevelt
about the case two weeks ago, and
the President at that time had promised
to take the matter up with Secretary
Bacon. When questio,td before the
hearing, Prof HouTwich stated tina,
they had heard nothing about the mat.
ter since that time.
Commissioner Hitchcock took the ques-
ton OF an extension OF time under adj
visement and promised TO render an
early decision. II he finds 'hat the
Russian Government is entitled TO more
time he will resume the hearing on
April !. Should he decide that hey
have had sufficient time already he VIII
order that briefs be filed and will close
