WORK Of Y. N. CA
IN JAPAN IS PRAISED
National Secretary, on Visit to
Washington, Says Public
Men Show Appreciation.

The beneficial effects of Christian In
fluences introduced in pagan land never
has been better exemplif1ed than in the
case Of the Young Mems Christian As
sociation in Japan. according to Galen
M. Fisher national secretary Of the Y.
NJ. c. A. of Japan, who is touring the
country in behalf of his work in the
mikados realm. The development of
character, self-reliance and the civic
betterment that has followed the adj
vent Of the association into the empire
has been the subject Of commentator
by japanese officials of both Christian
and Buddhist faith
1.-The public men know what the Y. M.
c. A. means In community OF young
men, and il many of them cannot sup
port the religious phase of our work they
enthusiastically advocate it from the
moral standpoint said Mr.. Fisher. 1T
is life work with us. and one of broth
erly love, which is bringing results of
substantial and gratifying nature
Mr.. Fisher was the guest yesterday OF
Secretary NJ. J. Jones at the local Y. M.
L. A. having stopped in Washington for
several days on an itinerary that includes
practically all the larger cities of the
east. He expects to return to Japan In
the course of several months.
Missionaries Began Work.
The movement toward the introduction
of the association into the empire was
begun by missionaries of different denom-
nations about fifteen or twenty years
ago, crystallizing in the forming of sew
eral small branches in the larger cities.
1t has gradually grown in membership
to little more than 5000 members at
the present time. The strongholds of the
association are at Toxic, kioto, Osaka,
Kobe and Nagasaki, with branches in
numerous smaller towns and in Korea
and Manchuria. In addition to Mr..
Fisher there are six other American
workers, who assume general director
ship over the larger branches.
MIR. Fisher Is native of California and
was an active Y. NJ c. A. worker in his
native state before going to Japan, twelve
years ago, to undertake the work of the
association there
Our branches are a counterpart Of the
branches here at home, except the atii-
letic side" he said. This is developing
but very slowly and takes time and re-
sources. The latter we are not able to
command. In time, however. we hope to
have this side of the association life there
playing an important part in our work
among the Japanese youths"

Unable to Give Description.

George Schlegmiller was behind the cou-
pie as they walked along from Grand
street into Monteverde avenue. and he is
consequently unable to give any descrip-
ton of the man. He says that he saw
the mans face at the time of the shoot
ing, but cannot explain how he looked.
The police will search Maspeth for evil
dence to find out If the girl is known
there. They will also closely question
the conductors of the trolley line which
runs close to the scene of the shooting
and leads to New York

Governor Promises Aid,

The effort to arrest Capt. Dixon has
not been abandoned. however, Gov. Croth-
ers has been notified and has promised

up the many fragrant violations Of the
game and fish laws States Attorney

ments against other violators.
Last year four offenders out of five ar

This failure to make an arrest Is the first
real test of strength between the law and
it's violators.

GIRL REFUSES TO GIVE
NAME OF HER ASSA|LANT
Shot While on Street With Man
Alleged to Be Her
Lover.

NEW YORK, September 4-Nineteen-
year-old Beatrice kastant, who lies in the
German Hospital, Williamsburg, with a
bullet wound in her abdomen. has a bet
ter chance for recovery than she had
when taken to the hospital yesterday
evening. But since she was shot while
in Monteverde avenue, Maspeth, late yes
terday afternoon by the man who was
walking along with her arm in arm she
has made no statement concerning him
except to say that he was her lover.
When urged by the police and the hos
pital authorities to give his name she
only murmured that she would die first.
The girls sister. a Mrs. Krafsky, of $40
Dumont avenue, East New York, came to
the hospital to see her. She, too, failed
to elicit any reply in answer to the ques-
ton about the girls assailant. The home
address given by the wounded girl to
Policeman Melvin Harvey of the Newtown
station and to Ambulance Surgeon Spies
was found later to be that of a loft
building.
But One Witness.
There was but one witness of the shoot
ing, an eleven-year- schoolboy, George
Schlegmiller. The boy happened to be
walking along behind the couple as they
turned from Grand street. which is the
main street of Maspeth, into Monteverde
avenue, a newly laid out thoroughfare
as yet bare O. houses. The two were
quarreling, the boy said.
Suddenly the man seized the girl by
both wrists, pulled out revolver and,
pressing it to her stomach, fired. He then
scurried through the empty lots. The
little boy was so frightened that he could
not say definitely which way the man
ram.
The girl was still Conscious when the
ambulance arrived, but she would make
no statement about the man other than
that he was her sweetheart and that
she had come out to Maspeth from New
York to see him.

OFFICERS BEATEN OFF
AFTER A LONG CHASE
Alleged Oyster Pirates Fight
Desperately With Oars When
Their Arrest in Attempted.

BALTIMORE, Md, September "a
After stern chase and a desperate bat
tie state and county officers who at
tempted the arrest of Capt. John Dixon
and five men on his gasoline boat on the
charge of ''fsh-and-oyster piracy" were
forced to give up and return to their
homes. The fight took place just off
Colchester Beach, where the officers over
hauled the alleged offenders after a run
from Fairlee creek. where they were first
sighted
Their power boat was disabled by the
pirates" but their. signal Of distress was
noted aboard the yacht Alcede, bound
from New York to Urbana, Va, and that
craft was placed at their disposal Again
was the chase renewed, but the offenders
ran into one of the cOves at Pooles Island
and were safe. as the heavy draft of the
officers boat prevented further pursuit
The baff1ed officers were Assistant State
Game Warden Jones and Sheriff Med
ders of Kent county. With them was
three warrants for the arrest of Capt
Dixon, charging him with purse netting,
purse netting without license and Oys-
tering without a license.
Lawbreakers Located.
Several days ago Warden Jones was
notified that in the vicinity of Betterton
the purse net law was being. frequently
violated. After considerable effort he
located the lawbreakers in Fairlee creek.
and as result he obtained warrants for
the arrest Of Capt. Dixon.
Shortly after that Capt. Dixon and his
crew of five men were sighted aboard his
gasoline boat in Fairlee creek by Warden
Jones' He at once wired Sheriff Med
ders, who promptly responded in person
The two made an attempt to reach the
offending vessel from the lee Of the shore
Two men on the bank signaled Capt
Dixon, who Immediately turned the prov
of his vessel down the bay and put on all
the power he had.
The officers and Capt. Jester at once
boarded the power boat Nina, and the ex-
citing chase began. After a twelve-mile
pursuit the offenders were overhauled
and an attempt was made to board their
vessel by the officers With swinging
oars, the pirates prevented this. and
soon after again began flight During
the scrimmage the propeller of the power
boat was disabled and it was not until
the yacht came to their rescue that the
officers were enabled to continue chase,
which once more proved unsuccessful.

Noted Botanist % Years Old.

London, June 3O.-Sir Joseph
Hooker. the world-famous botanist,
received a personal note of congrat-
ulation from King George today on
the occasion of his ninety-third
birthday. Sir Joseph, who is still
remarkably active for man of his
great age, has had long and brill
liant career in his chosen field of
science. As early as 1889 he &C
companied the expedition of Sir
James Ross to the Antarctic region.
Later he conducted scientific expe-
ditions to many parts of the world,
including eastern Bengal. the Hima-
layas. the Khasia Mountains, Nor
Deco and the Greater Atlas. New
Zealand, Ceylon. and California and
the Rocky mountain region Of North
America. In the course of his act
i've career he rendered invaluable
services to the British arts, manu-
features and commerce by promoting
an accurate knowledge Of the floras
and economic vegetable products Of
the various colonies and dependen-
cies Of the empire.

Seek Some Other Issue.

A number of those who have an
nounced themselves as candidates
for the legislature have made bids
for votes by announcing their alleg-
lance TO one of the candidates for the
United States senate. In doing this
they seem to froget that under the
provisions of the primary law they
will have nothing to do with the
election of the senator further than
to cast their votes as directed by the
people at the primaries. Their duty
will be similar to that of a presiden-
tial elector, who does not cast his
own vote, but that of his party.
The casting of the vote for sena-
tor may be classed as one OF the
least important matters to come be-
fore the legislature, and the man
who expects to be elected needs to
present something better in the way
of a platform than to tell the people
whom he favors for senator.-Spo-
kane Chronicle.

CABINET OFFICERS
ON MOVE
Altogether Members Will
Travel $4,000 Miles
During Summer.

Washington, D. c., June SOTO
President Taft credit is due for
making out of his cabinet advisers
a bunch Of travelling men.
They have all caught the wander
lust. Altogether they will travel
over $4,000 miles, either on bust
ness or an pleasure trips, during the
hot months of the summer.
Of course, President Taft will
keep up his batting average during
the summer, for he has bunch of
speeches in reserve for use about
the country when the commencement
epidemic is over. But it takes a
speeiometer to tabulate Taft's trav-
cling record.
A number of the cabinet officers
will do a little stump speeding on
the side in the interests of party
harmony. This will help to swell
the total mileage.
Although Dad" Wilson, secretary
of agriculture, has not announced
any plans for the summer, he will,
of course, drift "out hum to Ioway,"
and Secretary Ballinger will, it is
| understood, go out to Washington
The longest trip of the summer
| will be Secretary Dickinson's junket
| around the world.
Secretary Knox is going to Pitts
| burg and then will spend some time
chasing around the state to see that
Pennsylvania stays hitched to the re.

THE FIGHT AND ITS AFTER.
MATH.

Speculation is rife as to whether
the Jeffries-Johnson fight is to be
the last of the great fights. Indica-
tions point very strongly in that d.
rection. While newspapers are CIV
ing undue prominence to this contest
on the ground that the public wants
the news, the chances are that news
paper rivalry has more to do with
the prominence given than the eager
ness of the general public for the
news.
The American people will be for
tunate indeed if the aftermath of this
contest does not accentuate race hat
red. If it does, this will do much
to crystallze public sentiment
against future contests. A precedent
has been set against the permission
of contests in California, and the &C
ton taken by the authorities of that
state will make it difficult to over
ride this precedent in the future.
1t is to be noted that the CORES
pondents who are reporting the fight
feel under obligations to defend the
manly art This in itself is evil
dence that there is an under current
of feeling that our civilization has
reached a stage of development in
which contests of this character are
out of harmony with existing ideals.
1t must be admitted that an in
creasing squeamishness is felt and
race pride is touched to the quick
when multitudes of white people
make hero out of a negro pugilist
and strew flowers in the pathway of
his triumphal march through the
cities of our land. The climax will
be reached when some white maid
ems fall on his neck and shower him
with kisses. Then the sober sense
of the American people will reassert
itself and contests of this character
will be prohibited in every state in
the Union.
This contest is a great day for
the negro race. 1t will result In
raising the negro in the social scale
in the same proportion as it debases
the white race. Both the white and
black races forget that there is a
Booker T. Washington laboring ear
nestly for the elevation of the black
man while the physiognomy of the
black pugilist adorns the front pages
of every newspaper in the land.
Watch the aftermath of this contest.

LOWER INTERIOR FREIGHT
RATES.

Naturally Spokane feels greatly
elated at the prospects of material
reduction in freight rates in the i'm
mediate future. Other inter-moun-
tain towns will also be given relief.
A reduction averaging 20 per cent
means a great saving in the aggre-
gate to the consumers of the Inland
Empire.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has taken time to investigate
thoroughly the complaints of dis
elimination which have been made
and it's decision has been reached as
a result of mature reflection. To
many the back haul" charges have
appeared to be tax too heavy to be
borne by men who are doing pioneer
work of development in interior re-
gions.
From the time the new rates be-
come effective, Spokane jobbing in
terests will begin to reach out for
portion of the wholesale trade in
Central Washington and will be a
strong competitor of the coast cities.
1t is likely that many new adjust
ments in trade relations will take
place as a result of this far-reaching
decision.
