tered into the business life OF Clarks-
burg by associatlng himself In the

one of the active organizers Of the
Peoples Banking x Trust Company,
the West Fork Oil and Gas Company
and Grasselli addition to the city, all !
of which had much to do with the in
dustrial development OF the commu-
nifty. Close application to business
gradually impaired his health, which
brought on severe attack Of illness
in the spring Of 1905, from which he
never entirely recovered, and in the

OF SUICIDE
BY Associated Press.

MANILA, March 19.-The mill
tary inquest into the death of Lieu
tenant Clarence M. Janney, devel-
oped the fact that silver cham
payne cooler was the cause of the
final quarrel which led the lieuten-
ant to kill himself.
The cooler originally belonged to
the lieutenant, and, according to
the testimony, was given by Mrs.
Janney to Lieutenant Colbert Ames,
while dining at the latter's home
last Saturday night. Janney saw
and recognized the cooler, where
upon he upbraided his wife for hav-
ing given 1t to Ames.
During the verbal exchange that
followed the lieutenant called Mrs.
Janney a liar and insisted that she
apologize to him. The wife apollo
gized and the dinner was resumed,
It being generally thought by the
other guests that the incident was
closed.
A little later, however, Janney
left the house and returned with q

DECLARES that
JAPAN IS NOW A
POLITICAL nation

NEW YORK, March 19.-"Ja-
pan is first of all political ma
tion,' says R. l. Chinomuja, head
of the Yokohama Specie bank on
Wall street, in statement on the
question of the 'open door, in
China, here today.
Japan unquestionably believes in
equal opportunity for the monetary
interests and commerce of all ma
tions in China" continued MIR.
Chinomuja, but business is busi-
ness, and you must bear in mind
that China is a sovereign nation
and can do business with whomso-
ever she likes.
Japan is in harmony with the
United States in her general atti-
tude in China, and she has shown
this in Manchuria. Naturally, how
ever, she is opposed to the neu-
tralization of the Manchurian rail-
road This was ceded to her by
Russia after war which cost Jap
an dearly, and it is scarcely to be
expected that she will give up
willingly control Of what cost so
much"
Somewhat different views on the
subject OF Japan's intentions were
voiced by G. s. Gerst, the Ameri-
can representative OF the Russo
Chinese bank. Japan has no idea
of keeping the 'open door" he
said.
Her attitude ever since the Rus
so-Japanese war. has shown that
Japan's policy Is to obtain all that
she can get. | know that lived
In Japan for many years"
