ADDIE JoSS' END SUDDEN
Illness of Less Than a Week Ends
Fatally for Cleveland Pitcher.

Toledo, Ohio, April 15.-Adrian
Joss, known to the baseball world as
"Addie," for eight years a member
of the pitching staff of the Cleve-
land American league baseball team,
died at his home yesterday after
few days illness from tubercular
meningitis. The Maps star twirler
became i'll when he was with the
Cleveland team in Toledo last Sun
day His condition was not consid-
cred serious at first, but Monday he
grew worse, and when his case was
diagnosed il was known that he
could not recover
Joss was 81 years old. He was
32d degree Mason and is survived by
a wife and two children. Joss in
jured his pitching arm last year and
was under the care OF a physician una
til early this spring, when it was
pronounced in good condition again.

" small business However, after
you have been licked good and plenty
four or five times II doesn't sound well
for you to pull yourself together and
assert you weren't fighting anyhow
only fooling with the other fellow.
Tearney, Kinselia of Springfield
and Hofer of Quincy had one Of their
numerous conferences in Chicago
yesterday. They have been thicker
than three bugs in a bed for some
time. you know. What they have to
confer about now is a mystery In this
end Of the league and is explainable
only on the theory that they are try
ing TO cook mp some joke schedule
TO offer. giving the northern clubs
the worst of it. They may think they
will have authority under the ruling
Of the commission to force any kind
OF an arrangement on the north
DID NOT MIsUNDERsTAND.
1t looks very much as though the
latest postponement Of the league
meeting and resulting delay in the
adoption Of a schedule was merely an
other bit OF four-fushing. Kinsella
and Tearney certainly did not misun-
derstand the object Of Mr.. Hermann
in calling for further data in regard
to Quincy. It is hardly likely that
any hope was ever held out to them
that a change in the circuit might yet
be ordered. Therefore they have de-
liberately kept matters at standstill
because they fancied that in so doing
they were spiting the north and AT
the same time making the south think
they had another weapon left TO fight
with. Quincy and Decatur have right
70 be sore for being thus trihed with.
Mr.. Hofer, if he were a man Of dis
cernment, would have long ago du4t
his efforts TO get something from
those who have nothing TO give and
whose false promises got him into his
present trouble. If he is looking for
the band wagon he will find it up this
way.
EXPOSES PLOT.
What the southern clubs are going
to spring on the north at the meeting
Tuesday is given away by the Quincy
Wing, which declares that the Three
Eye agreement expired last fall and
so there really isn't any league at ali
now. OF course that lets Waterloo
out and paves the way for the south
ern clubs to organize a new league
with such cities in il as they may de-
sire. Great little scheme this. Won
der how it happens it wasn't thought
of before we had gone to all this
fuss?

THE JAPANESE
COLONY" AGAIN
BY ]. A. BREcKoNs.

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The lat
est peril to be sprung at the national
capitol is the colonization of the
Philippines, Central and South Ameri-
ca, as well as Hawaii, by the Japanese.
The following article, recently appear
ing in a Washington newspaper but
without quoting its authority for the
publication, will prove interesting:
That Japan's recently adopted
policy of expansion by colonization in
the Philippines and Central and South
America, was anticipated by the army
war college, is indicated by data gath
cred by army officers and disclosed to-
day.
The facts collected by the military
authorities cover the Japanese inva-
sion Of Hawaii, where they have been
settling for years. More than 10000
Japanese are already in the islands,
and their number is constantly in
creasing. 1t is found that the practice
OF the Japanese is similar to that
of many aliens who come to the Unit
ed States; they carefully save money
at the high wages prevailing in Ha-
wall, and return to Japan to live in
comparative ease upon their saw
ings. Consequently the Japanese
are leaving by the thousands, though
more come to take their places.
I'm the Philippines there are now
less than 5000 Japanese, according to
/ the army figures. To the military
authorities, however, it seems clear
! that the recent decision of the Toxic
government to send $50 Japanese by
each steamer means an intention to
/ make the Philippines, if possible,
second Hawaii. The Japanese authori-
ties state that they have concluded
that the American possessions offer a
good field for occupation by their
citizens.
The same policy, it is believed, to-
ward Central and South American
countries is forecast by the recent
establishment of colonies and the an
nouncement that passports will be
freely granted to Japanese to go to
these republican countries, with whom
the United States has such close rela
tions.
Americans who have studied the
results of Japanese colonization OF
Hawaii view with considerable appre
Ihension these policies of the Toxic
4 government"

twenty years to persons or companies
for the erection of hotels for the
accommodation of visitors. None of
the natural curiosities of the park,
however, are to be included in lands
so leased. The government is asked
to lay out necessary paths and roads
and is also to be permitted to grant
railroad rights of way through the
territory set aside and to erect build
ings for scientific purposes.
"The volcano which will be the
great feature of the park, has been
visited by thousands of Americans and
other travellers, and is one of the
great sights of the world"
