JOY AND SADNESS
UNDER HELMETS
New Appointees OF Chief Martin
Report for Duty at Police
Headquarters
Second InStaIlment of Heads to
Drop Into Basket Expected
Next Week

The swinging of the ak by Chief
Martin Tuesday night caused lively
times at police headquarters yesterday.
1t was easily seen who were the '1ns'
and who were the outs by the express
slons on their faces. Some of the de-
tective sergeants felt the change to
patrol duty keenly and one of them,
John B. Freel, sent in his resignation,
but was later induced to withdraw 1t
Another that felt the change to station
duty very badly was Edward l.. Gibson.
head of the Identification bureau, who
had been detective since 1896 and had
been prominently identified with many
important cases, including among 9TH
ers the Durrant murders. He is the
only one of the old timers to feel the
ak and his friends are wondering why.
WALL In COMMAND
Captain Eugene r. Wall assumed
command of the detective bureau yes
terday morning and received many
hearty congratulations from his numer-
Gus friends in and out of the depart
Detective Sergeant Thomas /. Ryan as
his assistant. Ryan is admirably quail
ihed to fill the position. This was
disappointment to the friends of Ed
Wren, who believed he was slated for
the position. Captain Wall then went
with Captain Anderson to the harbor
station to introduce him to his new
command.
Patrolman Bernard ]. Judge. the new
property clerk, was bright and early at
his post and was busy all day being
made familiar with his duties by his
predecessor, Sergeant Thomas Atchison.
He will make strong effort to retain
Atchison in hiss department.
Corporal John B. Collins was, it is
said, promised the position by Mayor
Mccarthy who was married in Collins
house, and Collins friends say that
politics have won a battle against
friendship. To placate Collins he has
been made a detective sergeant.
Ak WILL SWING AGAIN
The next swinging of the ak is not
expected until the beginning of next
week, when among other changes that
of captains from one district to another
will be made. Just what these changes
will be is a matter of speculation.
The following assignments of plain
clothes men were made by Chief Martin

the men in politics at least, in any
portion of the state. After the pri-
maries, win or lose Gates has been out

If Gates is the candidate for lieu

The Lincoln Roosevelt league lead
ers declare that they will have an or
ganization working for Johnson in
every county in the state within six
weeks. As matter of fact. the league
has organizations in one or another
state of activity in nearly one-half of
the counties. In some counties the anti
machine organizations are not called
Lincoln Roosevelt leagues, but they
are feminist the government" Just the
same; witness the county central COM
mittee in Santa Clara county headed
by Charles r. DERRICK, state secretary
of the league.
MACHINE MEN UNEASY
There is no Disgusting the fact that
Johnson's candidacy is not relished by
the machine men. Some Of them are
frank enough to admit it. They be-
lieved that the league would be unable
to get Johnson into the fight They
also believed that cross firing by the
friends of other candidates or tenta-
tive candidates had produced a situa-
ton that would result in a runout, re-
gardless of who was chosen by the
leaguers.
Johnson complexities the situation
The expected big runout can not be
located. The defections from the league
resulting from the disgruntled of Bel
shaw's friends are apparently confined
to two counties. They involve no es-
pecial comfort for the machine men,
since the detection has been to Curry
rather than to the organization.
Alden Anderson has given it out cold
that he will not seek a combination
with candidate for any other office
He has told his friends that he would
run for the nomination for governor
and that other candidates must attend
to their own affairs. as he expected to
be busy, or words to that general eff
feet. When Anderson was in southern
California IL was suggested that he
see Stanton and urge the speaker to
get out of the gubernatorial race and
into the fight for second place on the
ticket. Anderson declined with express
sions of his grateful appreciation of
the friendship which prompted the sug-
gestion.
Organization for the Lincoln Roose-
welt leagues fight in San Francisco will

agreed upon and a number of prom

After fifteen months absence, exact
ly as scheduled, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt disembarked from the Kai-
serin Auguste Victoria, Saturday morn
ing, June IS, at II a. m. To the keen
disappointment of a large group of
newspaper correspondents, Mr.. Roose-
welt absolutely refused, as heretofore,
to be interviewed or to talk on politi-
cal subjects, but his rapid fire of ques-
tons showed the same virile interest
in public affairs as before.
II the welcome rendered by the
vast throng may be considered a
criterion upon which to base ere
turn from Elba," surely there was no
discordant note in the immense recep-
tion-parade, nor in the wildly clamor-
Gus crowd which cheered at every
glimpse and hung on his very word
The incidents of the day in New
York were many, but perhaps none
better illustrated the nervous energy
and vitality of the man, the near-mania
to be up-and-doing, which he has
brought back to us, than the discard
ing of horses and carriages for the
swifter and more reliable automobiles.

immediate party landed, they were
whisked away in White Steamers to
the home of Mrs. Douglas Robinson at
433 Fifth avenue. A little later, when
the procession reached the corner of
Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue,
Colonel Roosevelt again showed his
preference for the motor car in gen.
eral and the White cars in particular,
when he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Col
lector Loeb transferred from their car
riage to White Steamers, which were
in waiting for them.
After luncheon at Mr.. Robinson's
house, the entire party, including
Colonel Roosevelt, again entered White
cars and were driven to Long Island
City. where they were to take spe-
cial train to the ex-President's home
at Oyster Bay.
The supremacy of the White cars
with the Roosevelt party was again
demonstrated on Sunday, when the
party was driven to church in the
White Steamers, and a group of some
forty prominent Rough Riders were
taken in a White Gasoline Truck to d
clambake at the Travers island club
house of the New York Athletic Club.

own roofing. They succeeded in ma
king two runs in the first inning and
five runs III the second, after which
the Japanese players held them down,
and they made no further score during
the game. The Waseda boys made
runs only in the fifth inning, when
they scored four counts The Japanese
umpire made several rulings which
were questionable, none of which ever
happened to be against the local team.
On the whole, however, they did not
affect the score. 1t is very interesting
to see the readiness with which Japan
has seized upon the new form of
sport, and her enthusiasm over it. 1t
Is typical of her readiness to borrow.
After a hard day of constant rain
we came home upon the evening Of
the twelfth to find postal card from
native friend calling our attention
to the great festival to take place at
Ikegami that night. Though tired
and wet, we started off at once, and
after an hour and a half we found our
selves at Omori station, with a mile
temple. Our last street cars had been
damned to the door, and when we dis
mounted, we needed no guide to show
the way. The station was blazing with
arches Of electric-lighted paper Ian

Swept along by the crowds we found
ourselves upon narrow street literal
ly packed with people, part of them
going to, and part coming from the
temple. All carried umbrellas We
plodded along through a sheet of mud
and water. Both sides of the street
were lined with shops and booths
which were brilliantly lighted and
which offered food and drink, amuse-
raent and cheer, at cheap prices to the
passers. Everywhere men, women and
children were shrieking to pilgrims
praising their wares. Paper lanterns,

Tokyo.-Tokyo is today really Eu-
ropean city. The tourist in search Of
old Japan must go elsewhere. Change
has been rapid; it will continue until
all the old landmarks are gone. To
young Japan, dressing in European
garments, aping European ways, bad
ly speaking some European language,
all this change brings delight. For it,
this is Improvement. The young men
date things from the beginning of the
Improvement of Tokyo" and love to
say some day, Tokyo, fine city" OF
course, this EuropeaniZation of Japan's
capital must needs take place. There
are features in it to which l do not at
all object The use Of electric cars
and Of the electric light, for instance,
fit in with the natural life Of the peo-
pie, and their convenience and ad
vantage warrant their introduction.
So, too, the excellent system of pub
lie telephones, a system far more COM
plete and convenient probably than
we have at any place in the United
States, is appreciated and utilized by
the commonest and poorest people.
But when grace and fitness, con-
Venience and use, are sacrificed with
no commensurate gain, we protest.
And. indeed, the fondness for foreign
ideas and foreign ways is blind and
unreasoning. Thousands of things
beautiful and convenient are being
sacrificed for inferior, simply because
these are foreign. European dress is
SO common as to attract no notice.
Not only government officials and en-
ployes, school boys and university
students, but clerks and business men
wear the new costume. 1t is ugly in
the extreme, but that makes little diff
ference; it Is the rarest thing in the
world for the trousers to fit the legs,
or through any amount of use to adapt
themselves to the form of the wearers
all this counts for nought-so long
as the fashion is foreign.

seeing. We have, however, taken time
for one baseball game and one re-
ligious festival. The event of the hour
was the presence of the Wiscon-
sin team. Postal cards represent
ing them and their opponents
and scenes from the games al
ready played were displayed at
every shop. The newspapers contained
columns of notice and some most curl
Gus and interesting pictures of Incl
dents in the contests. The first OPP
were the team of the "Keio" university.
The visitors lost both games. We
saw the third game Of the series,
played with the boys of Waseda uni
versity. This institution includes
preparatory and collegiate depart.
ments, and numbers some eight thou
sand students. Its grade of work is
the well known opposition leader In
a certain sense it is the rival of the
Imperial university, representing both
in politics and spirit a non-adminis-
tration party and constituency. The
game was played at the Fairgrounds
of the "Keio.' to reach which we were
forced to walk some little distance
after leaving the street car line Great
numbers of people were on their way
to see the game, and when we reached
the grounds it was difficult to find
seats anywhere. The contrast between
the two teams was quite marked Sew
eral of the Wisconsin men are notably
large and heavy fellows. but a consid-
cradle range of size exists within the
team; the boys Of the Waseda teal
are far more uniform in size, and
notably more slender and less heavy.
The local newspapers were all repre-
sented by reporters; their tables set
in long line close by the field in
front of the highest-priced seats of
spectators, formed by far the most
curious and novel feature of the scene.
A great crowd of Waseda rooters with
their red flags sat solidly together in
one section of the grand stand Our
boys sadly needed encouragement
from the audience, and had to do their

Unflatteri11 Truth

A Chicago physician gleefully tells
a child story at his own expense. The
five children of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay in the improvised home hos
pital they never failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased reclamation.
The good doctor felt duly f1attered,
but rashly pressed the children, in the
days of convalescense, for the reason
of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truth.
I'VE felt SO sick that we wanted
awfully to do something naughty, but
we were afraid to be bad for fear you
and the nurse would give us more hor-
rid medicine. So we we're awfully
glad to see you, always, cause you

Controlled Newspapers.

Inc Atchison Globe says that no ad-
Vertlser has ever tried to control it's ed
itorlal policy, the remark being occa-
stoned by the charge often made nova
uays, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
Inc experience of the Globe is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal of adj

VI Ills own, and he isn't trying to shout

Inere are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and good many of them, mores the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
Inc newspapers which are established
Tor political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic off ceseekers, whose
nfst concern is their own interests.
mere are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice of
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu-
ally is controlled by it's owner, and he
is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts of
times; there are people who consider
1t his duty to insult his advertisers,
just to show that he is free and indie
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
Tor his patrons, who pay him their
money, and make 1t possible for him to
carry on the business, he is "subsi-
diced" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer-
chants are expected to have considera-
ton for their customers, and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
