JAPANESE SQUADRON
GREETED AT FRISCO

San Francisco, May 4.-For the first
time In many years a Francisco is
extending the hospitality Of her harbor
to a visiting squadron OF Japanese war
ships. Representatives of the city,
state and nation united today in a
memorable greeting for Admiral Ijichi
and the officers and men of the cruis-
ers Also n Soya, which arrived his
morning from San Pedro.
Exactly upon the hour set for their
arrival the two vessels steamed
through the Golden gate, proceeded
down the bay to Man-o-War row,
where the four grey cruisers of Adj
miral S~winburne's fleet Numbered a
salute of welcome.
Several miles beyond the harbor en-
trance the japanese training squadron
was met by the revenue cutter Nc
Culloch. The cutter Goldengate, with
the official reception committees. as
passengers, met the Japanese warships
many of them gayly decorated with
Japanese and American flags, followed
the larger vessels to anchorage.
Coming on a day when American
naval officers are accustomed to OBJ
serve the anniversary of Admiral
Dewey's victory in Manila bay, the
officers and men OF the training squad
ron were given a particular welcome
by the steamers in the Pacific fleet.
Admiral Swinburne and Gen. Weston,
accompanied BY their STATS, headed a
committee of prominent men which
made the first official call upon Admiral
Ijichi, the party being conveyed to the
Jananese adlnirals ship on the West

been exchanged h party returned to
the flagship West Virginia, where Adj
miral S~winburne, half an hour later.
had the pleasure Of receiving the Jap
anese admiral.
The most enthusiastic greeting to the
squadron was accorded their country
men by the thousands OF Japanese. In
tho Japanese squadron the flag Of the
Rising Sun Is everywhere in evidence.

DIES MONIES COUNCIL
HAS MERRY WAR

Des Moines, Ia, May 5.-Councilmen
John Macvicar created the biggest
sensation in years in Des Moines when,
at the city council meeting this morn
r. Hamery, in charge Of the public
safety department under the Des
Moines plan, narrowly escaped indict-
ment for obtaining money by false
pretenses in Cottonwood county, Min
nesota.
MacVicar asserted that there is now
a recommendation to the grand jury In
that county that Hamery be indicted.
Hamery's face flushed, but he denied
the charge, although admitting that he
was formerly a resident of that county.
MacVtcar asserted thai Hanery's
name was then John Hamere, but that
Hamery has since changed the spelling
by changing the final "e" to ''y'' and
by inserting the letter IL" in his name.
This charge Hamery admitted, declar-
ing that there was another MAJ by the
name Of John A. Hamere in the same
town. MacVicar charged that some
years ago Hamery correspondent with
an old man named John Randall, who
resided In Lambertine. Mimi, relative
to furnishing the old mar a wife. who
was to be Hamery's aunt. After Sc
curing sums Of money from Randall.
MacVicar charged that Hamery
dropped h case by writing hat the
aunt could not come, but that the
woman all this time was in ignorance
Of what Hamere was doing. Hamery
declared that the letters are forgeries.
The accusation has stirred up a ter
rifle furore IN Des Moines and is an
outgrowth of recent sensations charged
in the city council relative to the selec-
ton Of an architect for a new city hall.
Hamery made a surprisingly strong
race for member of the city council
under the Des Moines Plan and was
elected by the second largest vote re-
ceived by any Of the five men.

Bridge Superintendent Finley said:
costello and myself were In the

$50 o'clock when a farmer crossed the
bridge driving toward the city. About
20 minutes late- we heard a noise like
a team driving upon the approach Of

fearful height into the air and then top

Marsh, Of the defunct Marsh Bridge
company, which built the Peoria

The plans and specifications for
this bridge" said Mr.. Marsh, were
prepared by a New York firm upon
data furnished by the city engineer. In
the construction Of the bridge it was
found that the borings reported by the
city were faulty. 1t was upon these
borings that much of the data OF the
