THE NEW JAPANESE TREATY

The negotiations for the new treaty
with Japan will be accompanied with
the usual expressions of profounN and
distinguished consideration upon both
sides. None the less there are some
difficult bits of road ahead of Mr..
Knox and the Japanese ambassador.
The kernel of the treaty will be the
status Of the Japanese immigrant. The
Pacific coast Is determined that the
Asiatic coolie shall be excluded as
was evidence few years ago by the
expulsion of a party of Japanese labor
ers from a town in Washington. Japan,
on the other hand, is equally deter
mined that her people shall not be
placed under the stigma OF inferiority
and that they shall enjoy the same
privileges as Europeans. When the
problem became acute in California
two years ago 1t was the common
opinion that was was within measur-
able distance, and that it was only
prevented by the withdrawal from the
California legislature of the bills aimed
specifically against the Japanese. 1t
is significant that the formulation of
the new treaty has been advanced by
a year. presumably that 1t may be
an accomplished fact before the meet
ing of the California legislature and
the almost certain revival of the
anti-Japanese measures.-Philadelph

RAPID FUN ENL|VENS
BILL At Los ANGELES
New Features Provide Lively En-
tertainment for Audience.
Attractions Elsewhere

Fun, music and skill, almost equally
divided, mark the new Sullivan and
Considine bill at the Los Angeles
theater this week. There is no better
form of entertainment than vaudeville
that is when it is good and the show
runs fast-but vaudeville perform
ance with every act a good one is sell
dom found these days. Manager Bow
yer has one of these bills this week
that is good, lively entertainment
throughout.
Perhaps the best act on the bill from
the standpoint of fun-and comedy is
what the vaudeville patron most ap-
preciates-is the offering of Watson,
Hutchings and Edwards, trio excep-
tionally clever. They have a conglom-
Grafton of music and nonsense that is
furiously fast and continuously funny.
Every member of this company, even
the least important part of the waiter,
is finely done. Harry Watson makes
decided hit, as does Mildred Stoller
with her representations of Fay Tenn
pleton and Lillian Russell. Miss Stoller
is much on the Lillian Russell type-in
fact is almost a double for the fair
Lillian-while her impersonation of
Fay Templeton is equally as clever.
She has an unusually good voice and
entertains the audience by showing
moving pictures of herself making
changes in her dressing room.
The Four Rio brothers have clever
gymnastic exhibition shown before q
drop Of red velvet. while they are cos
TUNED in white. Weber and Weber are
two as clever eccentric dancers as Los
Angeles theater audiences have seen
in many months. Metz and Metz are
vocalists who offer delightful musical
act entitled IA Midnight Rehearsal"
Both received much merited applause
and were called back several times.
Excela and Franks, the physical Gull
ture maids, give a skillful exhibition
of punching. Their act is a nov
city and is well received. The bill is
completed with reel of American mo-
ton pictures.
The first rehearsal of Hoyt's "A Con-
tented Woman" which will be played
at the Belasco next week, yesterday
revealed state Of perfection seldom
noted until the final rehearsal. This
is the result of the entire Belasco cast
with the exception of Mr.. Vivian,
who will have the role OF Benton
demonstrating played elsewhere the
parts in which they will be seen next
week in previous productions of the
Hoytian farce. The Beiasco company
is always usually happy when playing
the farce, and given a Hoyt product
to work with, the result is pretty GER
tain to be a clean-cut, finished and
snappy performance. The cast that
will be seen in 1.-THE Servant in the
House" with Hobart Bosworth, also
is rehearsing on the Belasco stage.
Bosworth's early rehearsais or the role
of Manson, the butler, indicate that
his performance will be wonderfully
careful study and easily the best act
ing this well known histrion has ever
made known during his locai career.

SIX NATIVES ARE KILLED
IN SOUTH AFRICAN RIOT
Moshesh Basutos Fight So Called
InterIoperS

JOHANNESBURG, Aug. 16.-An
interesting report on the circumstances
attending a recent riot at the Premier
mine, in which six natives were killed,
has been presented by Mr.. Innes, the
magistrate appointed to inquire into
the cause of the outbreak. In all, the
mine gives employment to 1880
blacks, including $500 Moshesh or Brit
ish Basutos and 5000 Transvaal Ba-
Basutos The chief interest of the in
quiry, says the report, circles round
the personality of the Moshesh Ba-
sutos. The chief interest of the in
employers on account of his physique
and intelligence. He looks upon HIM
self as the only black man in South
Africa who has not accepted the DOM
nation of the white man. Before his
fellow native laborers he adopts
domineering attitude and carries a fine
conceit of himself, which he takes no
pains to conceal from his white or
black associates in work.
The Transvaal Basuto, to whom the
Moshesh have applied the objection
able generic term of slave, looks upon
the Moshesh Basuto as an interloper
wherever the Moshesh are employed
in large numbers with other native
tribes the latter invariably make COM
mon cause against the former and the
Premier mine is no exception to the
rule. The trouble arose through the
natives being given the option of
turning out for an extra shift on ac-
count of a previous breakdown of the
GEAR. IT was apparently the readi-
ness of the Transvaal Basutos TO turn
out which incensed the masterful Mo-
shesh, who for some reason objected
to work and regarded the others as
blacklegs.

HOME BANKS GIVEN BY
BRITISH P0STOFFICE
Pennies Saved Until Shilling Has
Been Accumulated

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Consul AL
bert Halstead of Birmingham reports
that the British postmaster general
has announced in the house of COM
mons that the British postoffice pro-
poses to try an interesting experiment
in connection with the savings bank
department and render available to the
public money boxes or home safes,
which the depositors would keep at
their homes, the depositor having the
box and the postoffice the key. The
idea, of course, is to enable the pennies
and half pennies e cents and cent,
respectively to be saved until the nee
essary shilling CA cents) for deposit in
the postoffice savings bank has been
saved Inasmuch as these home boxes
for savings appear to have been first
started in the United States by some
of the savings banks and trust COM
panies 1t would seem as If the manu-
facturers of those boxes in the United
States, if prompt, might have an OPP
portunity to sell their boxes to the
British postoffice.

TELEeRAMs AWAIT THREE
cows MILK TURNED
BLUE BY LIGHTNING
Farmer to Get Another Animal
and Wait Another Storm

TANNERSVILLJ1. N. z, Aug. Jeff
Harvey Baker, farmer, could only get
another COW and another bolt of light
ming he would have money In the bank.
He said so himself in describing an I'M
toward occurrence in which his only
COW, Fannie, and thunderstorm played
the principal roles.
For several years Fannie's generosity
in the matter OF giving milk has been
Bakers chief asset. Selling the milk
for s cents a quart, and the fact that
Fannie has always been an accommo-
dating COW has made 1t possible for the
farmer to keep his head above water.
He has laid in no surplusage of wealth,
but after what has happened he is sure
that If he had one more COW and II the
weather conditions were propitious he
would soon be a landed proprietor.
During the thunderstorm Baker dis
covered that a bolt of lightning had
struck his only COW. Was he down
heartfelt No. Not after he found that
as result of the lightning episode Fan
ME Yields 7ilk of q light blue color,
which, because of It's novelty, now COM
mands 10 cents a quart instead OF the 8
cents, which was all that buyers in this
section will pay for white milk. The
bolt Of lightning has made Fannie a
versatile COW, in that in the morning
she yields blue milk and at night white.
A tudicious admixture of the two colors
produces a quality of milk which is so
good that Frederick G. Boynton, pro-
prietor OF the st. Charles hotel, has or
dered all he can get of 1t.
When Baker after exhaustive expert
ments found that Fannie's color scheme
bids fair to be O permanent fixture he
set out to get another COW. He has
made arrangements for the leasing of
an animal OF which he has heard many
kind words. Now all that he needs is
another thunderstorm.

PLAY PRODUCER FAILS
AS A BARN BUILDER
Frederic Thompson Loses Novel
Wager on His Ability as
a Carpenter

Fred Thompson is Just a little bit
egotistical about his ability as build
er, and considering the fact that he
was an architect before he became a
Snowman, and that he comes from a
long line of architects, this Is not SO
strange. But here is one time when
his egotism got him into trouble. On
a bet Thompson was to devote one
day to the building of barn for Por-
ter Emerson Browne, at the latter's
country place, near South Norwalk,
Conn.
The Job was to be done single handed.
Work was to start at 10 a. m. and the
barn was to be finished and ready for
occupancy by Brownies live stock at
shutdown. Otherwise the producer
was to have the barn finished at his
own expense and lose a wager of $500
to the playwright. Successful accom-
plishment of the task meant that
Thompson would win similar amount
from Browne.
During Brownies residence in Nor
walk he has acquired an automobile,
a trained goat, two horses and COW.
The playwright had successfully man
euVered to make the neighbors care
for these properties when they were
not in use, and might have continued
to do so had not his prosperity as
the result of the huge success of "The
Spendthrift," which will. be seen at
the Mason Opera house for the week
beginning Monday next, with the
usual Saturday matinee, produced a
state of mind In which Browne decid-
ed to have a barn of his own.
JOKERs BOTHER BUILDER
Having calculated his requirements,
Browne stopped into Frederic Thomp-
sons office to seek advice. How
much of a barn do you want?' asked
Browne, laying down his specifica-
tions on the producers desk. why
don't you do it yourself?" demanded
the manager, it'll only take an hour
or So" Browne sneered.
TEL you what I'll do" said Thomp-
son, "I'm not going to be very busy
Thursday. I'll run up to Norwalk and
build that barn for you. You have
the lumber and tools ready and III
run up that shack and be back in
time for dinner at the Lambs.
"Do you mean it?" gasped Browne.
''Bet YOU 5000 l can do 1t. If I don't
I'll pay to have the barn finished"
you're on" said Browne. "Tll have
everything ready by 10 O'clock Thurs
day morning. Come up and go to 1t.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Thursday
morning luOIIpSOu was va AScNNJ
for work: so was Browne; so also was
be Wolff, John Ecl1les, Percy Heath,
George Cross and half dozen others
all past masters in the art Of Josh
ing" The willy Browne, knowing
Thonpson's extreme sensitiveness to
ridicuIe, took full advantage Of 1t
and brought along as fine a coterie
Of SHARP shooters as could be gath
cred in New York.
THOMPSON saw what he was up
against and steeled himself against
their darts and shafts and set to
work. But one-half hour of the COM
bined efforts of the "kind words So
ciety'' was enough. and more than
Thompson could stand, and with a
few remarks directed at Browne, his
tormentors, Norwalk, and barns, that
even made the nails hide their heads
for shame, he threw UP the job in dis
gust
It took four real carpenters two
weeks to build the barn.

Suits Are Directed Against For

KIeyboIte & Co.
FOUR RAILROADS INVOLVED
Charge Attorney with Violation of
Trust and Speculation
with Securities
FOUR RAILROADS INVOLVED
ASSOCIATED Press)


CINCINNATI, ohio, Aug. 16.-Suits
for injunctions, accountings and dam
ages, totaling millions of dollars and
bringing into question deals involving
four railroads, were filed here today by
Rudolph and Leopold Kleybolte,
brokers.
The suits are directed chiefly against
Newman Erb a New York attorney,
who since 1908 has been disbursing
trustee for the old firm of Kleybolte
& Co., concern that declared itself
possessed of assets of $S,250,00O when
the liquidation was undertaken. In
addition to Mr.. Erb, one Of the three
suits Is directed at the Chesapeake q
Ohio railroad, and F. NJ. Bradford,
president of the Chicago, Cincinnati
& Louisville railroad.
The Kleyboltes charge Erb with
violation of trust, allege collision and
fraud and that he speculated with Sc
curities held by him as trustee. Three
special accountings are demanded ana
a prayer for damages names $1,lOO,-
900 as the amount they desire to recov-
er from Erb.
The damages are asked because 1t is
alleged. that Erb as trustee permitted
$1,20S,0 900 par value of Dayton Toledo
& Ironton railroad stock to be sold at
auction for 100000.
The plaintiffs demand an accounting
for over 100000 profit alleged to have
been made by Erb in acquiring con-
troll of the Wisconsin Central railroad
and turning it over to the Canadian
Pacific
They also ask for an accounting of
the deal whereby the Chesapeake &
Ohio bought the Chicago, Cincinnati &
Louisville and ask that the court re-
strain the payment of the purchase
money until that accounting is made.
The third accounting demanded re-
lates to a deal by which Erb is alleged
to have acquired at a low figure a block
of stock of the Ann Arbor Railroad
company, Erb being chairman of the
hoard Of directors of that road.

NAVY WILL EXPERIMENT
WITH OIL ON DELAWARE
Fuel viii Be Given Trial on Big
BattIeship

NEW YORK, Aug. H.-Experiments
with liquid fuel will be conducted on
the battleships Delaware and North
Dakota. 1t has been decided to adopt
oil as fuel on the destroyers oper-
ating along the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts.
It will not be possible. however, to de-
pend upon oil as a fuel in the case Of
this type of war vessels stationed in
Asiatic waters. There is a certain vul-
nerability about an oil tank or other
reservoirs for the supply of that class
of fuel, and it is felt that the torpedo
boat destroyers operating in Philippine
waters will have to be a combination
boat using both coal and oil as best
suits the situation. or else depend en-
tirely on coal. 1t will be possible to
establish depots for a reserve stock on
the coasts of the United States, and
there will be FIVE of these depots, ac-
cording to the present intentions of the
naval authorities
The use of oil instead of coal will
reduce materially the fireroom force
and eliminate ashes. There Is also a
convenience Of stowage as II is pos
sible to place the oil In compartments
which could not be occupied by coal.
Then, too. 1t can be taken aboard and
handled much more rapidly and easier
than COAL with an elimination of the
hard manual labor involved in coaling
shins. A. prime consideration Is the
fact that speed can be increased al
most at once, which is not the case
where coal is burned The condition Of
smoke obscuring the vision and inter-
farinp with operations is in a meas
ire removed by the use OF oil, in which
case there is no smoke except when
the ship is at full power.

Merger of Chicago Traction
Lines to Include Chicago &
Milwaukee Very Soon
RUN Line TO LOOP DISTRICT

The men who are at the head of the
proposed merger of the elevated lines
in Chicago, headed by Samuel insult
are frankly and openly after the Frost
system of interurban electric lines
from Chicago to Milwaukee.
insult is after the contract for his
Commonwealth Edison and North Elec-
trio Company and the others are work
ing for the merger as railroad men.
The Waukegan interurban will be
included in the elevated mergers as
surely as the Gary lines were taken
lup in the surface merger.
This is the substance Of inside in
formation from Chicago.
The Frost system connects with the
Chicago elevated system in Evanston
and the Northwestern elevated works
with the local system. insult is now
selling the interurban line some Of its
power north Of Waukegan. There is a
stub of elevated track left at Water
street in Chicago for a special subur-
ban service for shoppers, which will
develop with the merged plant.
The plan of the merger as stated
frankly in every Chicago paper is to
get control Of all elevated and con
Meeting lines, and by connecting lines
the Frost system is included.
Consolidation of the elevated roads
| in a companion piece to the surface
| line merger in the minds of those who
have followed negotiations for the last
year. Samuel insult, president of the
Commonwealth Edison Company stands
out as strong guiding hand to bring
about the indications plan in its en-
tirety. Men big in traction affairs
insist that there is nothing to the talk
of the merger of all public utilities,
including the Commonwealth Edison,
with the city traffic interests. They
declare it is Mr.. insult s ambition to
sell the electric current and furnish
the motive power independently to
operate the unified street car and
elevated systems of Chicago.
Mr.. IL sull was one of the "home
rule" advocates who aided in engineer
| ing the deal whereby the consolidation
Of all the south side surface lines was
brought to successful issue in New
York last Friday. It is considered
significant that only last May Mr.. In
sui, Ira M. Cobe and Emile K. Boisot,
all of whom figured in the New York
transactions, tried to put through a
consolidation of the elevated lines.
There was a hitch and the deal failed
at that time. It is expected to be re-
newed now

HIT BY A TRAIN
Tom Powers Has Narrow Escape From
Death Wednesday Night

Tom Powers, forty-seven years of
age and stranger in the city, narrow
ly escaped death just before seven
o'clock Wednesday evening when he
was struck by train at the Garden
street crossing of the Chicago and
Northwestern road Powers was walk
ing along the track and seemed to
stumble directly in front of switch
engine. He was picked up in an I'M
conscious condition and removed to
the Kenosha hospital. An examina-
tion of the man this morning revealed
the fact that he was terribly bruised
but it is not thought that any bones
were broken. Powers suffered in
tensely from his bruises during the
night, but it is thought that he will
recover. The man declared that he
had no home nor any friends who he
cared to have notified, that he had
been injured.
