Count Komura Believes Relations
Of Two Countries Are Too
Firmly Established to Per-
nit of Grave Dissension.
Brilliant Dinner in Hon
or of Dickinson.

Toxic, July 15.--'Unhappily forces
for evil, for unknown but sinister pur-
poses. constantly are endeavoring by
false reports or other methods to cre-
ate conditions OF Ill will or distrust
between two neighbortng peoples.
Their relations are too firmly estab-
lished and their interests too distinct
to admit of the possibility OF any
question arising between Japan and
the United states. which will not yield
readily to the ordinary processes OF
diplomacy. The increased and more
intimate exchanges Of views between
the two governments dispel all appre-
tensions on that score
This forceful utterance was made
tonight by Foreign Minister Count
Komura, in toasting j. NJ Dickinson,
the American Secretary of War. at a
banquet given by Count Komura in
his honor. Mr.. Dickinson and his party
arrived at Yokohoma this afternoon
on board the steamer Siberia. and af-
ter an informal reception at the Amer
ican consulate they came on to Toxic
for to-nightss function.
The dinner was brilliant affair.
Eighty persons attended. including
Marquis Katsura. the Japanese prime
minister. and FIVE members of the Cab
met, admirals, generals, and officials.
After toasts to President Taft and the
Emperor had been proposed respective
ly by Count Komura and Thomas j.,
O'Brien, the American ambassadors
Count komura, in proposing the health
of Mr.. Dickinson, referred to previous
visits to Japan of President Taft.
Endeared to All.
These visits recall said the for-
eign minister. mot only because his
personality endeared him to all, but
because his insight and calm judg-
ment enabled him to appreciate the
true value OF the sentiments enter
tained by japan for America.
Mr.. Dickinson, in responding, after
a warm expression of his gratitude
for the hospitality accorded him. de-
clared that Count Komura had ana
lyzed accurately President TAFT and
the people of the United States, and
said 1t was fortunate that there would
be found at the head of affairs in
man possessing keen knowl-
edge of the Far East" There is no
reason for breach Of the friendship
between the United States and Japan,'
continued Mr.. Dickinson. Sound
judgment must predominant. False
reports or evil suggestions have not
been justified by any action either Of
japan or America. My country de-
sires and is advocating peace and ar
bitration. perhaps more than any ma
tion of the world. There is reason to
believe that Japan and America. with
the passing years, will become more
closely cemented in the bonds of abid-
ing friendship
Mr.. Dickinson and his party, who
are guests Of the American arnbas-
sador. will be given an audience by
Emperor NIutzuhito tomorrow morn
ing. and the women afterward will be
received by the Empress. This will
be followed by luncheon at the pal

millionaire Oil Man,
Embarrassed.
INDEBTEDNESS OF s6,7oo,ooo
Proceedings Taken to Prevent
Sacrifice OF Valuable
Collateral.
INDEBTEDNESS OF s6,70o,000

Pittsburg, Pa, July 15.-Colonel
James NJ. Guffey, national Democratic
committeeman of Pennsylvania. who
figured so prominently as an object
OF attack by the Bryan adherents at
the last National Democratic Conven.
ton in Denver. a multtmillionaire oil
man, has gone into the hands of a
receiver, which was appointed late to-
day by Judge Joseph NJ. Swearinsen,
in the Common Pleas Court Of this
county. The action was taken upon
a bill In equity, filed by j. H. Galley.
and John s. Willard. who is familiar
with Colonel Guffey's affairs, was
named as receiver.
The bill filed alleges that Colonel
5Guffey's Indebtedness is about. s6.-
700, 900, Of which about ss50,OO0 is un-
secured, that the defendant has no
ready money with which to meet the
payments due. and that certain
creditors are threatening to sell his
collaterals and enter suits.
It is further asserted that Colonel
Guffey has assets of over S17,000,000.
a large part of which is stock of the
j. NJ Gufrey Company. and the West
Virginia Company, two coal COM
panies which own 136.7oo acres Of
coking coal In the State of West Vir-
ginia.
The properties are asserted to De
worth at least S16,00o,o0O. and the bill
in equity maintains that they are esti-
mated to contain 2,000.000,000 tons OF
coal, which, at a profit Of cent per
ton. would realize s2O,Oo0.O0O. Other
assets of Colonel Guffey to the value
of s2.O00.OOO or s3,ooo.OoO consist OF
stocks and bonds of other corporations.
Pledged as Collateral.
All of these stocks and bonds ara
pledged as collateral, and the receiver
ship was found necessary to prevent q
sacrifice Of this collateral. The order
of court restrains all creditors of dis
posing of any OF the collateral securi-
ties or other assets of Colonel Guffey
pending further order OF the court.
Colonel Gufrey said to the Associated
Press tonight:
II very much regret that to conserve
all of my estates a receivership became
necessary. This course affords abso-
lutte protection for all my obligations,
as we'll as protection for myself My
assets are more than double the amount
of my obligations. l don't expect the
receivership to continue any great
length of time. I have properties ot
great value, and 1t Is only a question
of being permitted to dispose of them
without sacrifice to pay all my obliga-
