JAPANESE NEWSPAPER
 MAKES 4 WAR TALK
CONVINCED THAT CLASH WITH UNITED STATES IS IN-
 EVlTABLE.
Japan Cannot Close Her Eyes to to AVowed Policies of Certain
 American Element.

Victoria, B. C., Dec. S.-That Japan must prepare for war with the United States is the text of an article pub lished by the Tokio Nippon and re- ceived today by the steamer Namba.
 The Nippon quotes an anonymous Japanese vice-admiral as saving that however regrettabIe the fact may be, it is none the less incontrovertible that the danger of a breach between Japan and a western power comes chiefly from Americas attitude.
 Tn vain do statesmen and enlight- ened publicists on each side preach the necessity and demonstrate the real ity of mutual friendship says the Nip pOn. None the less. from time to time. ard even with growing iteration. comes from the United States mutter- ings of hostility which may at any mo- ment may develop strength too great for official control. Japan must be prepared for that contingency. She must ask herself what objective this element of United States citizens have in view when they advocate the expenditure of enormous sums in fur nishing the Pacific with a big fleet: create a powerful army for the Pacific slope. of building huge coal depot and naval station in Hawaii and fOrtifying the Philippines. Hawaii and Panama Unwilling as Japan may be to believe in any quarrel with her old friend. it would be madness for her to shut her eyes to facts which stare her in the face"

London, Dec S.-At the closing of the polling today in the general elections the standing of the parties was as fol lows:
 Government Coalition-Liberals, 147: laborites. 2s; nationalists, 45: indepen- dent natiOnalists, G. Total 226.
 OppositiOn-UniOnist 193
 The fifth day of the elections ended with the parties still running neck and neck and with the prospect that they will come under the wire with almost precisely the same relative position they held at the start.
 Returns had been received up to mid- night from the voting of 149 members and the result is a unionist gain of two seats in that number over those held by that party in the last parliament.
 This amazing result is as unprece- dented in English history as it is em- barrassing to politicians of all factions Both parties went into the election pre- dieting great gains. Both are now con- vinced the new house of commons will be practically identical with the old.
 Discussion now is concentrated upon the question of what the peoples yer dict means and what the course that shall be followed under such unex- pected circumstances.
 The conservatives argue that Premier

 The cOalitiOnists insist that the vOt- CTS, by returning them to power en- dorse their policies and direct them tO carry out their program in it's entirety
 Winston Spencer Churchill. home secretary, was returned by Dundee, but about 1.5OO votes were shifted to the uniOnist column, largely as the result or attacks upon his personality.
 Heavy rains tonight. coupled with delay in the reports. decreased the gen eral enthusiasm. Asquith, speaking in East Fife. was questioned on home rule. He replied that he could not give details regarding the measure at this stage.
 John Redmond, speaking in Dublin. said: The election has already killed the veto power of the house of lords. and the abolition of the veto means the establishment of home rule"

Denver. Celo.. Dec. S.-Genko Nit sunaga. d Japanese, was found guilty tonight of first degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment He was tried on the charge of murderiug Mrs. Katharine Wilson, a white wo- man. by whom he had been hired as an assistant in housekeeping
 Life imprisonment is the limit of punishment on conviction for murder in the first degree that the Colorado laws allow in cases where the evil dence is purely circumstantial. as 1t was in the case of Mitsunaga
 Mitsunaga was employed by Japa- nese housekeeping firm last spring and sent to the newly acquired home of Mrs Wilson to assist in preparing it for occupancy. This was on Sat urday. and on the Monday following Mrs. Wilson's husband. Ridgeley Will son. arrived in Denver from Hot Springs. Ark, and was informed that his wife was missing. Accompanied by a stepdaughter. the search insti- tuted resulted in finding the body of Mrs. Wilson in the cellar of the new home. where it had been forced into d box of rubbish. Suspicion pointed to the Japanese. who disappeared and for whom a search was begun. He was captured d month later in McCook, Neb
 Mitsunsea. as a witness in his own defense. declared that Mrs Wilson had been murdered by a white man with a crippled hand" and that he himself had been compelled to assist in hiding the crime by the murderer. who threatened to kill him if he re- fused. Mitsunaga testified that it was the fear of arrest and unfair treat ment as d foreigner that induced him to flee from the state.
 During the closing arguments of counsel today, O. x. Hilton. attorney for the defense, created something of a sensation by charging the crime directly to another. using the name in open court. He declared the laws of Colorado made it impossible for him to introduce the evidence he had against this person, because he was not on trial.

STORY 0F MURDER
 SEQUEL TO RIOTS THE MULE" BELIEVED TO HAVE "GoT" THE SKUNK" Several Arrests and Numerous Con
 fIicting Stories.

New York. Dec. s.-"There's a skunk in the restaurant over here with a gun: come and get him"
 The skunk" was John C. Warner. young engineer of Highwood Corn. and somebody did get him." for in the riot during the expressmen's strike. he was stabbed in the back one night and died of his wounds three days later.
 Tonight the police arrested Alfred Mule, aged 20. on suspicion of being a murderer. The testimony accusing his comes from James F. Mulligan. one of four prisoners arrested by the police, charged with being ac- cessories to the crime.
 Mule denies having anything to do with Warmers death and accuses yulligan of framing up" the yarn. Mulligan's story, as the police gave it, is that he and three other strik- ere were at a meeting on the night of October 31. when the message about the skunk came by telephone
 
 An "entertainment" committee was sent out. he says. which found War ner. and mistOOk him for strike breaker-he carried a shotgun that he had planned to take on a shooting trip the next day-and the picket had a quarrel with him, and left him dy ing.
 Mulligan's story, the police say, is that Mule was one of the commit tee" and that on his way back to the hall he boasted while washing a bloody knife: "I got him twice"
 Warner had four stab wounds in the back.
 Tn addition to the four arrests yes terday and that of Mule tonight an other was made today. The prisoner is John Murphy. who says he is business agent. but the police describe him as walking" delegate for the chauffeur's union. The chauffeurs went out in sympathy with the ex- press drivers The evidence against Murphy was also furnished by Multi gan.

SURPRISING EVIDENCE
 IN THE BURKE CASE VICTIM OF ALLEGED INTENDED MURDER ON THE STAND. Relates Startling Story of the Defend ants Ssnitarium and His
 Teachings.

Santa Rosa, Cal, Dec. S.-Just after taking testimony in the trial of pr. Willard F. Burke. the alleged physician who, it is charged. dynamited the tent house at the Eureka sanitarium in which Lu Etta Smith and her baby were sleeping on the night of February s. the district attorney produced the first surprise in the case when he call ed Miss Smith as a witness.
 Lu Etta Smith related practically her entire relations with the defendant, which she said began in 1906, and many letters. purpOrting to have been writ ten by Burke to the woman were in troduced as evidence over the objec- tions of the attorney for the defense.
 Miss smith testified that Burke was the father of her child and that she had been furnished money by Marion Derrig, a friend of Burke, with which she went to Japan after the physicians indictment following the dynamiting of the tent house.
 Burke seldom glanced at the woman on the stand. He sat with head bowed, sometimes nervously stroking his beard. and again taking notes of impOr- tant bits of testimony.
 Lea. in the opening address to the jury. stated that Miss Smith had gone to the institution seven years ago as a nurse, and three years ago, following an operation at the Burke resort, en- tered into relationship with the head of the sanitarium governed by the un- usual code of morals established by the teachings of Burke.
 We will show that the defendant gave Miss Smith a communication" said Lea, that set forth his idea that our present standard of morals are mere superstitiOns.
 He advocates affinities rather than conformance with the laws of the coun- try. It is advocated in this communi cation to Miss Smith that 8 woman should live in defiance of the present standard of morals"

 DISPLACED MOURNING
UNUSUAL ATMOSPHERE OF A
 FUNERAL OCCASION.
Final Parting of Mrs. Eddy's Follow. CTS With Their Beloved Leader.

Boston, Mass. Dec. S.-The follow CTS of Mrs. Eddy parted with her wis 1 ible form today at a funeral service marked by simplicity and lack of ostentation that yielded no expres- sions of sorrow. at least not by her followers; that was surrounded by no trappings of mourning, but was aev- ertheless sufficiently impressive to finger long in the memory of the 12O persons who attended.
 Judge Clifford P. Smith, first read CT of the mother church, read the greater part of the service prepared by himself, which consisted of se- lections from the Bible. co-relative passages from Mrs Eddy's book Science and Health" and a prayer. He was assisted by Mrs. Carol Hoyt Powers. second reader who rem dered Mrs. Eddys Mothers Evening Prayer"
 There was no eulogy and no sObb- ing except by the young granddaugh- ter. Mary Baker Glover. whose crepe covered hat was the only sombre color in the house. The spacious parlors where the little gathering sat for eighteen minutes in calm thought were bathed in sunlight while a spray of roses on the coffin and here and there a bouquet, as if for decorative effect, were the only evil dences of the customary massing of flowers.
 It seemed like one of Mrs. Ed1y's metaphysical meetings of years gone by and one had to glance at the mas sive bronze casket, resting in the rose tinted alcove, to realize the signi- ficance of the occasion.
 Those who wished to look for the last time upon the leader of the sect saw the small, delicate face of wo- man who looked to be so instead of 90. whose expression was singular ly peaceful and showed no sign of suffering.

The proposed constitution for the state of Arizona is now complete, and the election for it's ratification or re- lection by the voters of the territory will take place Thursday. Feb. 9. 1911, sixty days from today. the earliest day under the enabling act.
 The constitution is complete in the sense that all of its provisions have been agreed upon; that there can be no essential change in it, but in the last consideration of it after it had come from the revision committee, it was so cut up by amendments, cor rections and encouragement that it was rather inchoate.
 But the changes will be made in a printed form of the constitution which will be read again today. No amend ments will be permitted. Then will come the formality of signature. con corning which there were interesting rumors yesterday. It was understood that ten of the eleven republican delegates would not sign it, the elev- enth being MT. Langdon of Gila.
 It is said that at least two of the democratic members. pr. Tuthill and Mir Ellinwood. will not sign it, and that Judge Baker, Mir. Franklin and Mir Orme were so displeased with it that they would probably withhold their signatures. On the other hand. democrats said last night that the last three named gentlemen would probably put their displeasure into their pockets.
 The date for the election on the fn aIa dinance No 2, which was concluded at a night session of the convention, which beside disposing of the cleo ton engaged in a humorous debate on a variety of questions and wrought itself into such kindly and liberal state of mind that it raised the pay of several of the clerks. or rather, agreed to recommend that they be paid for extra services. This was begun with a recommendation for an appropriation in favor of NJ. J. Han non. the postmaster of the conven- ton.
 The convention was in a friendly mood all day. The animosities of the last sixty days were forgotten. This state of mind was brought about probably by the morning prayer of the chaplain. in which he found Oc- casion for thankfulness that he had heard so little profanity in the course of the session.
 The chaplain sits out of earshOt of the press gallery. where daily debates broke out ;n the conservative, the progressive and the anarchist sec tions.
 But there is time for profanity yet several times for it, for that mat ter The first will be when the cam paign for and against the constitu ton gets good and warm. Another will be when the president and the congress get done with it.

San Diego. Cal. Dec. S.-The sub marine Grampus. under command Of Ensign Olding. made a long. sensa- tional dive today. Submerging at Coronado submarine station. the little craft proceeded under water down the channel and out past Point LOma into the ocean. The commander of the revenue cutter Bear. now in the harbor, who had noted the Grampus diving. became concerned over the long disappearance of the boat, and raced a launch over to the Coronado station to make inquiry as to the safety of the divers. Shortly after ward the submarine Pike appeared at the station and reported that the Grampus was safe off Point Loma.

As a measure of precautiOn and protection the guard has access to d telephone which the directors of the church have placed temporarily in the vault. It is expected Mrs. Eddy's will will be filed tomorrow at Concord.

DECISION IN THE
 COAL ROAD CASES GOVERNMENT WINS ON ONLY ONE OF SEVERAL POINTS. Opinion Will Probably Have No Ef- feet on the Price of Coal.

Philadelphia. Dec. S.-The federal circuit court for the east district of Pennsylvania has decided theer is no general conspiracy among the an thracite coal carriers or coal com panies tn restrain commerce, to mOnopOlize the trade or maintain certain prices. but it did decide that the Temple Iron company is a com binatiOn anthracite coal carrying rail road in violation of the Sherman anti trust law The court granted the prayer of the government for an injunction restraining that corpora tion from continuing violations of the act The sum and substance of the decision is, that the government wins only one of several points, that in the Temple Iron company case. and that the defendants will not be com pelled to change the present prices of coal.
 The case was heard by Judges George Gray. Joseph Burlington and William M. Lanning last February. Three opinions were handed down late this afternoon and differ from N-+r "hNSt VII dN hiSilliSSttl all of the governments charges except that relating to the Temple Iron company, which he sustains.
 Burlington dismissed all the charges except the one against the Temple Iron company and one relating to the 65 per cent contract existing be- tween the big corporations and the independent coal companies. He sus- tained the charges of violation of law on these two points
 Lanning dismissed all the conten- tions made by the government

LAST OF THE CONSTITUTION. Everything Was Finally Agreed
 Upon.

At the close of the afternoon ses- sion yesterday, the sixtieth day of the convention, the constitution was practically complete. Every prOposi- ton which had passed third reading had been gone over in the committee of the whole, and subsequently, had been passed TOT the last time by the convention. There remained only the contingency that some of the actions of the afternoon would be recOnsid- cred at the night session.
 There would be no other opportu- nifty for change While the constitu- tion in it's completed form will have to be gone over again, that will be a more or less formal matter. for the purpose of discovering any defect of expression that might have escaped the various refining processes to which the constitution has been sub jected.
 After that there will remain the signing of the constitution, which formality will be enacted some time today.
 When the convention adjourned in the afternoon the two election ordi- nances, one providing for the election on the constitution and the other for the first state election, had not been adopted. but they were not to be a part of the constitution.
 Two Important Amendments.
 Only two essential changes were made in those articles considered yes terday. and both of them were in the corporation commissions article. One of them was regarded by MT. Colter as of so sweeping a character that he offered a motion for the indefinite postponement of the entire article.

appeared work" blacklist or work ingmens" blacklist. Thus it would seem that workingmen could not be blacklisted. Merchants protective as- sociations might blacklist all people who did not pay their debts except workingmen. Thus it was clearly class legislation and void. Therefore he would vote for the article.
 Dr Moeur was not entirely pleased with the labor article and he said there were many things about the constitution that he did not like, but he had been thinking it over and he believed he liked less living under q territorial form of government. He would therefore choose the lesser of two evils and vote for the article.
 The further consideration of the ar ticles consisted of unimportant changes and the encouragement of various sections, most of which went into schedule"
 In the course of the day resolutions were offered on various subjects. The first was by Mir. Bradner. providing for the asking for bids for the print ing of the constitution in one paper in Phoenix for four weeks. Bids were to be accompanied by sworn state ments as to circulation, and the committee having charge of the award was to be permitted to verify such statements The committee was then empowered to award the contract to the paper offering the lowest and best bid. in such circumstances. as was to be left to the committe to determine.
 Convention in No Hurry.
 A movement was made by Mir. Os- born to expedite matters. He offered a memorial to congress requesting the enactment of an amendment to the enabling act permitting an election on the constitution at the end of thirty days instead of sixty days, as the act provides. That would en-
