WORK SOON WILL BEGIN
ON TREATY PROVISIONS
NipponeSe to Arrange Trade Re-
Iations with Foreigners

TOXIC, Sept. IA, via Victoria, B. Co.
Sept. 29.-With the close Of the sum-
mer. work will commence in earnest on
the new treaties Japan expects to con-
clude 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 lot heI
export trade, and that the greater part
of that trade is with the United states,
and France afterward. Hence 1t would
be impossible to give any country an
advantage, because this at once Woulu
lay Japan's exports open to the MAXI
mum tariff, where now her exports en-
ioy a minimum both in America ana
France. 1t is quite possible that III
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 trea-
ties.
There is good reason to believe that
when the turn of the United States
comes, if clause regulating japanese
immigration is insisted on, Japan will
decline to make a treaty, claiming her
immigration is now beng satisfactorily
regulated, and that so long as this
exists a treaty on the subject would be
humiliating.

JAPAN GAINS RUSSIA'S
AID TO MAINTAIN PEACE
Agreement Provides That Both
Countries Refrain from
Agitation in Orient

TOXIC, Sept. IA, via Victoria, y. y"
Sept. 29.-Japan and Russia nave en-
tered into another agreement, wnleh 50
far has not been given wide puohelty'
Its effect is intended to prevent mucn
of the agitation that has been solhs
on in both countries when some matter
of Importance or act~of either govern
ment has affected the people.
Under the agreement both countries
will prevent agitation by meetings or
publication inimical to the interests OF
the other. Hence the activity OF the
police at Vladivostok lately. Korean
agitators have been ruthlessly scattered
bv the Russian police, and domicillary
visits. searches and arrests have been
so frequent as to be only worthy Oh
passing notice.
The same policy will be followed
throughout Japan, and 1t is quite nkely
that China will adopt the same course
The Japanese minister at Peking mas
drawn the attention of the Chinese gov
ernment to the harmfulness of the un-
friendly utterances of some of the chi
nese paters in discussing Japan, ana
especially the annexation of Korea.
There is reason to believe the protest
has been received in a friendly spirit,
and that the minister has received as
surance that in future regulations
which the chinese know so well how to
apply will be put in force.

carefully prepared report was read by
President Buckley, urging better min
ing laws for Alaska. The report upon
Alaska mining law submitted by
Henry R. Hartman, chairman for the
committee, expressed the wish that the
government of the United States revise
the present territorial law existing IN
Alaska along the lines of the Can
adian Dominion laws. Red tape, If
was declared. had kept Alaska back,
while just over the boundary mining
and other industries were thriving.
From the report it was learned that
the Alaska laws regarding mining are
unsatisfactory and primitive. For ex-
ample, 1t was set forth that the pros
pector received but little encourage
ment to prospect in Alaska and that
when anything comes up red tape
usually puts him out of business, for
everything, as reported, has to be re-
ferred to officials at Washington.
Over the line in Canada a man is
given immediate recourse at law and
receives at the seat of operations in
the district that which the American
has to wait for a long time, until it
is taken up at Washington.
After the reading of the report of
the resolutions committee the floor
was given over to the delegates for
argument The only speaker to argue
the resolutions at the morning session
was Charles F. Potter of Colorado, rep
resentative of the governor of that
state. He favored conservation in
modified sform, opposing the leasing
system advanced by Pinchot and ad-
vocating that the lands of the govern
ment domain be placed under the con-
troll of the United States land office,
to be sold at auction.

ARTILLERY OF JAPANESE
HOLDS KOREA IN CHECK
Students at Seoul Write Incend-
iary Messages and Mutt
late Their Hands

SEOUL, Korea, Sept. H. via victo-
ria, B. c., Sept. 29.-Considering the
magnitude of the territory and popu-
lation annexed by Japan when Korea
was taken into the territory of the
emperor of Japan, there has been very
little evidence of discomfort.
Ping Yang, an important mission
ary center. has shown some disqulet,
but not more than couple of hundred
persons have been concerned.
Viscount Teraouchi, the new COVER
nor general, has policed and garri-
soned the entire country and the
slightest sign of disquiet or disorder
brings troops to the spot at almost
a moments notice.
In Seoul some of the students adopt
ed an irreconcilable attitude and ar
rests quickly followed. Several stu
dents cut the little fingers from their
left hands and wrote an incendiary
document in blood, threatening assas-
sination to General Teraouchi. All
were arrested. In some cases meas
ures have been rigorous, but the gov
ernor general declares that prompt
measures at the outset probably will
save much trouble and suffering here
after.
The upper classes OF the Koreans
are apparently satisfied.

their mineral character has since
been discovered, and
Whereas, under the terms of the
law granting the lands to the
Southern Pacific Railroad company
and of the patent by which it holds
and claims title to said lands, the
said company has no moral right
and should have no legal right to
the said oil lands; therefore be it
Resolved, that we request the
president of the United States to
see to it that immediate steps shall
be taken by the proper officers of
the government to recover the oil
lands in the state of California now
claimed and held by the Southern
Pacific Railroad company by virtue
of the act of congress granting to
it mineral lands, and of the
patent, excepting and excluding
from its operation all oil lands,
should any such be found in the
tracts described in said patent.
RESOLUTIONS SUBMITTED
Other resolutions submitted and re-
ferred to the committee were:
That prospectors have the privilege
to prospect on forest reserves.
That the lands withdrawn in the oil
fields of the San JOAQUIN valley Of
California last fall, which location was
made prior to withdrawal, be open for
patent to the original locator after
he has proved the existence of oil.
technical report upon the STAN
dardization of electrical equipment in
coal mines, prepared by S. A. Taylor
of Pittsburg, was read and accepted.
A resolution submitted by David
Ross of Illinois, favoring a liability
law separate from the one now in
force, to govern mine accidents, was
adversely acted on by the committee
because it was not explicit and was
later referred back to the committee
for revision before final action can be
taken.
The committee acted adversely on a
resolution favoring the building by the
government of dams and other water
propositions for the benefit of mining
enterprises.
In the discussions that followed the
resolutions Charles f. Potter, repre-
senting the governor of Colorado, ar
gued against the leasing system and
recommended that the lands of the
public domain be placed under the con-
troll of the general land office and
sold at auction. Such a system of
disposing of the public lands, as many
have said during the convention,
would mean that the rich man would
get all the lands and the poor man
could only look wise ana hiCh' II IL
a system of monopoly advanced by
the monopolists, it is said, in a frantic
effort to defeat the f, 1eral conserva-
ton policy.
]. ]. Gosper, former governor of
Arizona; Judge Ray of Nevada and G.
w. Hull spoke in opposition to con-
servation.
DR.. Bean of San Francisco and many
others upheld the policy.
President Taft was represented al
the afternoon session by J. Park Chan
ming of New York, who spoke on mine
accidents He said that the mine own
ers should voluntarily pay damages
for the loss of the lives Of its mer
when killed on duty and not leave il
to the widows or parents to sue, thus
making it necessary for the plaintiffs
to pay large lawyers fees as is now
the case.

FAMILIES OF MINING
MEN ENJOY AUTO TOUR
Wives and Sisters of Delegates
View Beautiful Sections
of Los Angeles

Wives, mothers and sisters of dele
gates to the American Mining congress
saw the most beautiful sections of Los
Angeles and Pasadena from automo-
biles yesterday afternoon. The Hotel
Alexandria was the starting point and
as fast as one automobile was filled
another was provided until Vail who
cared to make the trip were provided
with cars.
The party went first to Chester place
and saw the beautiful homes there.
Then the automobiles were driven
through the many fine residential sec
tions in the western part of Los An
geles. Pasadena was visited and the
palatial homes of the Crown City, the
fine parks, and other points of interest
were seen.
Westlake and Eastlake parks, Los
Angeles, were visited also, before the
party returned to the Hotel Alexan-
dria at 5 o'clock. To many in the
party, who are seeing Los Angeles for
the first time, the beautiful places
visited were a great surprise.
The Sierra Madre club was instru-
mental in providing the outing and
Dick Ferris did much to make it a
success

.SAVANTS DECLARE SHARK
MEAT is QUITE EDIBLE
Scientist Says Foolish Prejudice
Exists Against Man-Eater

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-shark meat
is a dainty of high quality, according
to savants here attending the ses-
sions of the American Fisheries So
ciety. They declare the creatures are
quite edible and that it is only fool
ish prejudice which keeps them from
being served as a delicacy.
One scientist said he preferred shark
to lobster. Prof. Theodore Gill de-
clares shark meat broiled "has flavor
as fine as anything which comes from
the water"
Several of the delegates expressed
the belief that the cultivation of the
shark as a food fish might do much
to solve the problems OF the high cost
Of living.
A discussion of caviar occupied one
of the sections for three hours. DR..
Louis Hussakoff of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History said most of
the caviar sold in this country was
made from the roe of the Mississippi
spoonbill and not from the sturgeon.
He reassured consumers, however, by
the assertion that the imitation pro-
duct is "as good. or possibly better,
than the genuine"

CLAIMS HIGH HEEL SHOES
INyURE HEALTH OF WOMEN

BERKELEY. Sept. 29.-Most aches
and pains suffered by women can be
attributed to lack of care of her feet.
according to Prof. Walter Magee, heao
of the department of physical culture
University of California.
To improve their lot he advises them
to:
Throw aside corsets.
Cast off high-heeled shoes.
Wear low-cut shoes.
Fxercise the lungs and develop the
chest
Walk and eat properly.
Take physical exercise daily
High -heeled shoes, Prof. Magee as
serts, throw women off their balance,
with consequent injurious effect TO her
entire system. -,
The feet of the average college wom-
an in the west are considerably
smaller, he says, than those of eastern
college women.

MORNING SESSION

In the early part of the morning ses-
sion a number of resolutions were sub
mitted One from w. w. Bass of Ari-
Zona was against establishing parks or
monuments on the public domain un-
til the geological survey has had op-
portunity to ascertain whether the area
set apart is mineral bearing; that the
prospector be permitted to prospect
upon the several reservations of the
government domain.
w. A. Fredercks Of Colorado, in a
resolution urged that provision be
made to market the coal of the re-
stricted territory of not only Colorado
but the several western states contain
ing coal deposits in order that these
states be able to compete in the future
with countries beyond the Pacific that
can ship coal here at profit and in
several incidents are now shipping.
Thomas e. Gibbon submitted a reso-
luton declaring that the Southern Pa
cific claims approximately $50,000,OOo
worth of proven oil lands and that,
according to law, this railroad corpor
alton has no title to the oil lands;
that the patent under which it claims
title to these lands expressly eXcepts
all mineral lands from it's operation.
The resolution calls on the president
of the United States to take the proper
steps to recover the lands
W. A. Mench of Arizona submitted
a resolution on the hydro electric
power question, favoring its applica-
ton by the government in several OF
the projects now building in the south
western states.
A report of the federal legislation
committee, presented by Delegate Kep-
Ter. was read by Secretary Norman,
congratulating the government upon
the establishment of the bureau of
mines and urging that the work be
continued in the advancement OF the
mining legislation.

 "What was that you called me awhile ago?" returned Kirby quizzical- ly, but with an undercurrent of great seriousness. Nothing but a-what was it?

 He seated himself at the table and, as was his wont in moments of ab- straction, began to cut the cards.

 "What do you suppose she'll think of it tomorrow? Think she'll remember what am, perhaps?
