JAPAN AND RUSSIA
CAUSE A DEADLOCK
IN FISHERIES CASE
Taft Hopes Conference Here
Will End Successfully,
However.

II is stated today that the interna-
tional sea! fisheries conference now In
progress in this city is deadlocked.
This Is the intimation received at the
White House this morning.
Secretary Nagel and Chandler Ander-
son, solicitor Of the State Department,
the two representatives Of this country
at the conference conferred with Pres
ident Taft early today, and remained
with him for nearly an hour. After
ward Mr.. Nagel said that he had talked
over the seal fisheries negotiations with
the Executive.
The secretary further stated that an
other conference between the repre-
Eentatives Of Great Britain, Russia, ia
pan and this country would be held to-
day, at which time an effort would be
made to reach some conclusion agree
able to all interests.
p The contention now rests between ia
pan and Russia L is understood. These
two countries cannot agree upon the
compensation to be paid to Japan for
abandoning pelagic sealing.
President Taft Is anxious that the
conference here be successful. He feels
that now is the time for the countries
interested to get together once and
for all on a binding policy with regard
to this valuable industry, a policy which
will protect the seals without destroy
ing the commerce now dependent upon
them.

cause It is positively opposed to capital
punishment, and believes that In this
enlightened age the practice Of bar
barous times should be superseded by
the humanitarian treatment OF crimt-

Experience shows the execution of the
death penalty to be no bar to murders,
nor can It be said to be any benefit 10
the criminal TO deprive him of his physi-
cal body instead Of placing him where
he might be trained to his lasting bene-

its guide the "Decalogue," and the
Sermon on the Mount" directing that
we be merciful and kill not. There is
no consistency in crying Peace! Peace

Millions of Folks
Use Only 'CasCarets'
They never have Headache, Bilious
ness, Sluggish, Inactive Bowels
or a Bad Stomach to Make
Them Miserable.

A million boxes a month. That's
the sale of Cascarets- And every
tablet in every box means a day of
good cheer. Think what a world Of
happiness this candy laxative has
brought to men and women-also the
children. Are you getting your share?
Cascarets cure bowel troubles when
they have developed. But that is the
least of their uses. Their best serv-
ice is to prevent the many ills that
come from inactive bowels. Think of
the days when you are not at your
best. The mornings when you don't
feel right, the afternoons when you
are logy. the evenings when you are
irritable. The cause lies in the
bowels.
One Cascaret makes everything
different. Don't say III take 1t to-
night" Take it at once. Carry a box
in your pocket. The hours before
bedtime are too good to be wasted.
Cascarets are gentle and pleasant.
Their action is as natural as the
action of fruit on the bowels. They
are sold by all druggists at 10 cents
per box.

Death Penalty Makes Criminals.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The death penalty hardens criminals
and makes new ones. The nation has
built up its humane reputation by dis
regarding the strict letter of the law.
else what would have been the bloody
record in past times. In California al
one time the branding of another's live
stock called for the death penalty. II
was disregarded by the people, judge
and jury. An unrighteous law Is more
honored by its breaking than Its OBJ
servance. The certainty Of punishment.
and not its severity, prevents crime.

Sees Danger in Leniency.

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
II women are not to be hanged or
eiectrocuted for murder. then men will
undoubtedly hire or bride women to do
murder for them, increasing murder so
enormously that no lives will be safe.
Nothing holds murder In check but
the fear Of "a life for a life" There
is always hope for a pardon for life
Imprisonment"
n women are not to be hanged, no
one will be hanged. The men will not
be, either, for the men will hire women
to do their murders. No lives will be
safe anywhere.
Let a man pick out a young and
pretty woman to do his murder for him,
and she will not even be imprisoned,
as long as only men are on the jury.
How delightfully."- free and easy, then,
all murder will be. B. WHITE.

OFFERS 5000, BUT GETS NO
SEAT FOR "CHANTECLER"
House Sold Out for Miss Adams's
Premiere In Rostand's Play. So
Capitalist Is Disappointed,

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Two hundred
dollars is Broadway's quotation for a seat
at Miss Maude Adams's premiere, as
"Chantecler." 1t was Henry RIgby, capt.
talist OF Spokane, who wanted 5000 worth
OF "Chantccler." Mr. Rigby called at the
knickerbocker box office yesterday morn =
ing, His bank roll caused a visible bulge
TO mar the symmetry OF his fur-lined top
coat.
''I should like an aisle seat for Monday
night he began.
Cant be done" interrupted Mr. Hoff-
man: treasurer OF tho house.
'One aisle seat" continued Mr. Rigby.
Not further than the sixth row; must
have; don't fuss about price"
Then Mr Righy produced a bank roll
OF paralyzing proportions. A Sl0O bill
showed on top, Others OF equal denom-
nation winked from beneath the WRAPPER
MIR. Hoffman's tone was vibrant with
regret and admiration as he gently ex-
planned that money could not purchase a
seat on the aisle for Monday night
II don't want TO pay an eXtrayacant
price, hedged Mr.. Rlgby. cautiously,
"but I'll give 5000 fiat for an Orchestra
chair on the aisle for;
Please put away your wad," said Mr.
HOFFMAN. ''you couldn't get what you
want for a thousand"
Oddly enough, there was not single
holder OF ticket on hand to accommo-
date Mr., Rigby, and so the Washington
capitalist. who explained that he had seen
'Chantecler" In Paris and wanted to at
tend Miss Adams's performance to find
out what ii was all about, decided to
take his chance on a flfty-cent seat on
Monday night.
