JAPAN AT WORK
ON new TREATIES
Will Decline to Enter Pact With
U. S. if immigration Regu-
IatiOn Is Demanded

TOKYO, Sept. 2S.-With the close of
the summer and it's consequent relaxa-
tion work will begin in earnest on the
new treaties Japan expects to make
before the end of next year. Every
country except America is now engaged
in the negotiation of these treaties,
and especially in England there is much
criticism on the ground that Japan's
ally is given no advantage.
Experts here point out that Japan
must in self-protection care for its ex-
port trade and that the greater part of
that trade is with the United States and
France afterward. Hence it would be
impossible to give any country an ad-
vantage, because this at once would
lay Japan's exports open to the maxi
mum tariff, where now its exports en-
joy minimum both in America and
France. 1t is quite possible that in
some cases no treaties will be made.
Some Of those who have the matter
in hand here appear not to attach very
great Importance to the commercial
treaty and point out that both Great
Britain and the United States are car
rying on business with a number of
important countries without any exist
ing treaties.
There is good reason to believe that
when the turn of the United States
comes, if a clause regulating Japanese
immigration is insisted upon, Japan
will decline to make a treaty, claiming
that its immigration is now being sat
isfactorily regulated and that SO long
as this exists a treaty on the subject
would be humiliating.

Dahlman of Omaha, candidate for gov
ernor of Nebraska on the Democratic
ticket, has told the story of his life,
with the request that it be given
publicity.
Rumors that there are incidents in
his career which would not bear

him on such plane that he could ask

an interview, which was published here

These rumors affected his early life
in Texas. where, it was stated he had
shot and killed a man and fed the
state, coming to Nebraska under the
name of Jim Murray.

the man he shot did not died, he said.
Dahlman said he took a shot at his
brother in law, who had deserted his
sister. They met on the street The

Probable Reason for Recent
Seismic Disturbances

though no apprehension is felt here in
regard to the recent earthquake shocks.
covering an area of 40 miles along the
mountains to the north, a number of
alarmed persons have decided to remain

recurrence of the disturbances.
1t is pointed out by the Lowell OBJ
servatory that the region affected is in
the vicinity of what is considered the
youngest crater in the United States.
AS there have beer no eruptions. the
conclusion is reached that the old lava

NHARGING DIR. Robert Thomp-
I son, alias James Grant, with the
willful murder of Eva Swan
whose mutilated body was found in
a cement grave in the basement of the
house at 327 Eureka street, the coro-
ner's jury brought to a climax vester-
day the dramatic investigation into
the death of the young Paso Robles
school teacher. The verdict was re-
turned to the coroner a few minutes
after $50 o'clock in the afternoon.
The failure of the jury TO mention
Paul Parker resulted in his release
today.
But the coroner's jdry went further
than to charge "Dr." Robert Thomp-
son, alias Grant. with the murder of
Eva Swan The existence of nu-
merous so called doctors Offices
and their open and notorious adver-
tisements and display of glaring signs
IN the main streets of the city was
dealt severe blow by the same jury.
The attention of the state board of
medical examiners. as we'll as the
legislative authorities, was called TO
the existence of these malpractitioners
and the recommendation made that
immediate steps be taken to eradicate
the evil of Illegal operations and to
drive from business the creatures who
revel in the monetary profits derived
from the practice which led Eva Swan
to an untimely death.
Revolving Testimony
The verdict of the jury was the di-
rect result of the revolving testimony
brought out at the inquest. clinched by
a stirring address to the jury by. Or.
William ]. Walsh. whose position as
coroner has placed him in a position
to know whereof he speaks. Coroner
Walsh's admonition to the jury came
at the end of two days of testimony
that could not help but open the eyes OF
those who attended the inquest to the
methods of the pariahs who derive a
living from Illegal operations.
In his address to the jury Coroner
Walsh said that he saw altogether too
much of the fatal results from such
operation in his position as head OF the
morgue..
The doctors responsible for deaths
from illegal operations" said the coro-
ner, have been overlooked and the
morgue officials knowingly hoodwinked
on account of the laxity of the laws
and our inability to get at those whom
we know to be following the business
of illegal operations. Nine out of ten
of the men following this business are
not qualified under the state laws to
practice. and yet they are allowed to
go right on gathering in large sums
of money from the unfortunatss who
fall within their clutches"
Devoid of Sensations
The days proceedings in the inquest
were devoid of sensations 1t was the
repetition and corrohoration of the
same sordid and revolving details ad-
duced in the hearing of the day pre-
vious.
The principal witness Of the day was
