JAPAN SUFFERS
J|NG0|SM WAR
SCARE AGAIN
Speech of Leslie NJ. Shaw Was
Basis for the Sensational
Story
WAR Between UNITED STATES
AND JAPAN IS INEVITABLE
General Bell Also Quoted as Authority
for the Statement That War Between
the Two Nations Nay Break Out
Any Time.

Toxic, Feb. 24.-special dispatches
TO the newspapers from the United
States report recrudesence of the
anti-Japanese movement at San
Francisco. Today all of the local
papers featured the speech of Leslie
M. Shaw, former secretary of the
treasury, in which he is reported as
having said that war between the
United States and Japan was in
evttable. The speech has caused the
most gloomy impression among the
Japanese and foreigners alike. The
special quotes Major General J.
Franklin Bell as having said that war
between the two countries was likely
to break out at any moment. The
press and public are unable to. under
stand the reasons for these utter
ances. The Asahi Shimbun and the
Jill Shimpo print long specials from
San Francisco quoting Mr.. Shaw's
address at Morristown, N. j., on last
Tuesday. Commenting upon this
speech the papers remark the coin
ctdence In the receipt of these dis
patches at the time when prepara-
tions are being made at Yokohma and
this city for the reception to the zoo
Americans aboard the steamer Cleye-
land, which is due at Yokohoma to-
morrow morning. Editorially the pa-
pers repudiate the suggestion that
Japan is seeking the control of the
Pacific and declare that American
competition will be welcomed. X

and from that place he'hoped not only
to send. or go, with a party to the
south pole, but also to send other
parties in various directions to do a
great deal of exploring work as we'll.
II he could not get the pole at the
first attempt he hoped to do it the
next year, and if they failed then, he
hoped the young men who were going
with him would want to try a third
time.
Tells About Hunger.
Sir Ernest Shackleton told a fash
ionable drawing room audience the
other day what it feels like to be fe-
rociously hungry.
During the last stage of his antarctic
expedition, he said, when the men,
bers Of his party were sitting in their
tent. each nibbling his one biscuit, II
man happened to drop a crumb six
pairs of eyes would follow it on Its
downward path to the floor. If he
had not noticed it, which was a very
rare occurrence. his attention would
be drawn to it and he would wet the
tip Of his finger and pick it up. Not
a morsel was allowed to escape.
In his diary for the same day last
year he found the entry: Every
hungry, dreaming Of food all night:
thinking of food all day." They were
hungry for three months, he continu-
ed. and during that time had only one
full meal on Christmas day.
They often asked each other what
people in the cities did when they
were dying of starvation, because no
law of man would have stood between
them and a bakers shop If they had
had an opportunity of getting in.
When they came back to civilization
they were so shrunken in size that at
first they were unable to eat as much
as an ordinary man, but they after
ward made up for it. They then made
up their minds that they would never
see hungry person flattening his
nose against cookshop window
without giving him something.

Eight Buildings Completely
Destroyed-Contents Partly
Saved-No Lives Lost
INADEQUATE FIRE FIGHTlNG
APPARATUS PARTLY RESPONSIBLE
Bucket Brigades Formed Which Did
Good Work in Holding the Flames
in Check-Brick Structures Stopped
Progress Of the Fire.

New Rockford, N. D.. Feb. a.
Seven business buildings and one
residence went down before flames
originating at 1870 o'clock this morn
ing in the Henry Hudson confection-
ary store. Inadequate fire fighting
apparatus, necessitating the organiza-
tion of bucket brigades which were
successful in staying the progress of
fire fiend. The total loss was about
$4,000. All the buildings destroyed
were of frame construction and we're
located in row on the north side of
the city's principal business street.
The fires origin has not been definite
ly determined as yet.
The losses sustained are q fol-
lows:
Henry Hudson confectionery store,
$1,25o.
Geo. Dunham jewelry store, $1,S00.
B. H. Fowler meat market, $4,000.
Bucklin & Co., drug store, $4,000.
Boton's Bargain store. $500.
Mrs. John Blais millinery store,
$4,000.
]. w. Rager's harness shop, $2,40O.
DR.. G. H. Babcocks residence,
81, 800
Several families resided in the
buildings that were destroyed, but
they were enabled to escape and also
to save considerable portion of their
belongings. Although the flames had
a good start when discovered. and
their progress was rapid, the united
work of the citizens resulted in a
great deal of the stock of several of
the stores being saved from destruc-
tion.
The New Rockford Transcript
building, which is of brick, is located
next to the Hudson store, and that
fact prevented the spread of the fire
in that direction else the loss would
have been great deal larger.

Berlin, Feb. 24.-The report for her
first year on the Berlin police staff,
presented by Fraulein Margaret Ditt-
mer, shows that she has had, since
her appointment in October, 1908, 604
cases to deal with.

ran away from their provincial homes
to Berlin, the majority. according to
the report. came to the capital to see
the imperial palace. The other either
left home through a spirit Of adven-
ture fired by reading thrilling stories
or because their parents were too
severe wit hthem over their lessons.
Fraulein Dittmer's work consists In
acting as the guardian of youthful
delinquents, waits and children, who
are ill treated by their parents. The
first are committed to her charge to
deal with as she thinks fit and she
either places them in reformatories
or restores them to their parents after
she has Investigated the circum-
stances. Waits are placed in orphan
ages, and in cases of parental cruelty
which have been proved in court
Fraulein Dittmer visits their homes
at irregular intervals to prevent the
offense being repeated.

CLAIMS PENSION
Woman Says 1t Was Granted by M
poleon for Wrongful Execution.

Berlin, Feb. 24.-Mme. Behagne, an
impoverished widow past middle age,
who earns slender living by manual
labor, has, by somewhat naive petit
tion to the French government, rein
vested the old story of "The Lyons
mail" with an interest something like
that of actuality.
The most popular compendiums of
history relate how a man named Jo-
seph Lesurques was guillotined in
1897 as one of the several highway
men who killed the post courier trav-
cling between Lyons and Paris and
robbed him of letters and packages
containing some millions of francs. 1t
was afterward proved. at least in
popular estimation, that Lesurques
was innocent. This fact was made
the basis of one of the most success
full melodramas ever played.
Nine. Behagne, who claims to be a
lineal descendant Of Lesurques, de-
clares that a perpetual pension was
established about 1868 by Napoleon
III for each successive eldest female
member of Lesqures family, and that
1t now ought rightfully to come to her.
She says 1t is only 250 francs a year,
and was last received by her great
aunt, who died in the almshouse.
Yet she also asserts that it was
granted as consolation to the descend
ants of Lesurques for the confisca-
tion of property said to have yielded
an income of 10000 francs year by
the French government in 1897.
Apparently Nine. Behagne believes
her own story, but officers of the gov
ernment, whose duty it is to investi-
gate. have stated that there is not the
slightest documentary proof of any
such pension ever being granted.

CAPTAIN SCOTS PLANS
HOPES TO START FOR SOUTHERN
POLE IN JUNE-ESE MOTOR
SLEDGES.

London, Feb. 24.-Capt. r. F. Scott,
leader of the British antarctic expedi-
tion of 1910, has given some account
of his plans for reaching the south
pole. He hopes his ship. the Terra
Nova. will be ready to sail from Eng
land in June.
They would have twenty-five men
in the crew, he said. and when they
left New Zealand they would have
another twenty-five men. who were to
form the landing party. They were
going south to McMurdo sound. the
same quarters as used by Sir Ernest
Shackleton. and would land twenty
two men there, and then he hoped to
60 to a part where no one had yet
landed. King Edwards Land. and in
that place he would deposit a small
party of six. The object of that was
that it was SO interesting to get COM
parative meteorological observations,
and the party would also try to work
out the geography of the region. He
hoped to leave New Zealand in No
vember and get down in December
In January the huts should be
erected and the party landed with
their stores. That would be halfway
through the summer In July and
March he hoped to do some laying
out of depots. taking about twenty
ponies. twenty-five dogs, and some
motor slcdges, Of which he hoped
great things.
Main Journey In October.
With these various means of trav-
cling he hoped to get a good deal of
provisions 200 or 300 miles to the
south that season before settling
down for the winter. which started
about May.
The main journey to the pole would
probably start in October, 1911. They
had to get over 500 miles, and the
probability was that they could not
do more than ten or fifteen miles a
day. That would bring them to the
middle of December before they got
to the south pole-if they We're going
to get there at all.
The day in which he wanted to get
to the pole was the midsummed day
down there-which would be midwin-
ter here-December %, and he hoped
to get back about the middle of
March. 1912.
What was hoped was that with the
various means of traction they would
be able to carry a great quantity of
food down south over the great ice
barrier and make big depot there.

Such a principle is contrary to public

pOuCy.
ANY discrimination by public
service company, which consists in
rendering a service below its cost, is
unjust discrimination and unlawful.
1t is inconceivable that a test of rea-
sonable rates will be adopted by the
court which would compel carriers to
do the very thing forbidden by law.
Any just rule therefore OF rate regu-
lation must preserve to the carrier
both the right and the ability to rem
der all services at remunerativc
rates."
"If the regulation cofnpels a car
rier to render a portion of its SER
vice at less than COST" said the coun-
sci in closing, inevitably this loss
must be distributed over the balance
of its business unless the carrier can
refuse to render the service. The lat
ter alternative is impossible. All
service rendered at loss result in
burdening the balance of the carriers
'to.;"'ce: and considering that rail-
S"i subject to regulation OF
Ockcfr g we'll as to that of

at less than cost is to impose the loss
ON citizens Of other states and ON the
business of the country at large"

STANDARD OIL
TOBACCO TRUST
Two Important Cases Now
Pending Before the Federal
Supreme Court

Washington, Feb. 24.-While the
supreme court of the United States
has vouchsafed no intimation on the
subject, it is generally supposed here
that the decision in the case of the

court, will not be handed down at
least until after the argument in the
case of the Standard Oil company.
which is set for March IA. Attorney
General Wickersham, in his motion to
advance the hearing of the latter case,
described the two as essentially kim
dred, and suggested to the court that
they be considered together.
Lawyers here generally concur in
the statement made by Mr.. Wicker
sham to the court, that these two
cases together present for its consid-
Grafton practically the entire range
of modern industrial organizations in
this country" SO far as 1t falls with
in the purview of the Sherman anti
trust law. Yet they are not precisely
alike; indeed, it is said that in some
particulars they are SO dissimilar that
the court might find in favor of the
government in one case, and against
it in the other.
The two cases are alike in that they
are proceedings in equity to enjoin
alleged violations of the law of the
land-neither is in its essence a GRIM
inal action; in neither does the gov
ernment seek to procure either i'm
prisonment of individuals or exem-
plary fines upon the defendants. In
both suits the charges pressed are
those alleging unlawful combination
and conspiracy in restraint of inter-
state trade and commerce, and con-

SPECIAL HONOR
Retiring Mississippi Senator Asked te
Preside.

Washington, Feb. 24.-One of the
burning questions which is agitatine
the senate is whether Col. Gordon

Will be permitted to deliver a fare
we'll address in that body.
Some of the senators hold now that
Mr.. Percy has been elected to the
senate. Mr.. Gordon is without rights
In that body. Others contend, how
ever. that he is entitled to hold his
seat until the certificate of the Mis-
sissippi authorities testifying to the
election Of Mr.. Percy is presented to
the senate. AS it is not possible this
document can reach Washington to-
morrow, 1t is believed that Mr.. Cor
don will continue to occupy his seat
for at least another day.

Americans and Guatemala Respon,
sible for the Revolutions.

Madrid, Feb. 24.-Ex-President Ze-
laya Of Nicaragua has arrived here.
Zelaya accused Guatemala and the
United States Of being responsible for
the revolution in Nicaragua. These
two countries, he said, had violated
all treaties in disregard of law and
justice. and the United States had
dared to dispatch warships laden with
troops on the false pretext of defend
ing the interests of American citizens.
He had resigned from the presidency

secure that peace and liberty which
had been the sole aim of his policies.
He said he intended to follow events
