OF JAP ANESE WAR

Washington, Feb. 25.-"There is not
the slightest likelihood of any trouble
with Japan any more than with any
other country with which we have ex-

reported utterances of Leslie NJ. Shaw,
former secretary of the treasury, and

"Shaw's speech was obviously moth
ing but an argument for ship sub
sidy, and what General Bell said made
no reference to trouble in the far east
and was evidently an ordinary speech
for increased appropriations for the
army AS for the San Francisco re-
port our immigration arrangement

for two years on April Z, 1908. He
announced at the meeting yesterday
that under no conceivable circum
stances would he be a candidate for
reelection The state committee will
meet in April to elect new chair
man.

Is minutes. After the compromise
which was arranged at personal con
ference between Chairman Connors
and Leader Murphy, all fear of a clash
at the meeting vanished.
Four resolutions We're adopted
unanimously and the meeting ad

a federal income tax, A second fav

indirect taxation. The fourth r,eeolu
ton charged that the high cost o.
