JAPAN DESIRES
 PEACE NOT WAR

Washington, January 20--Japan wants peace. There is not the least desire in the hearts of any of the Japanese people to have war with the United States, toward whom they feel most friendly and to which they look as a model of justice and right.
 This was the statement made by Bishop M c. Harris of the Methodist Episcopal church in Japan and Corea, who called on President Taft today. Japan, he said. has the same desires and ambitions as this country. the de- sire to grow, but to grow by peace able means and in the direction of the higher civilization.
 Bishop Harris, who has lived for nearly 40 years in Japan and Corea, "pooh-poohed" the war talk of certain people in this country. He declared that Japan, like the United States. would fight only if forced to do so, but then would fight to the last ditch. He said he knew well the hearts of the Japanese people and that it grieves them to know that a few people are trying to make bad blood between the two countries. They look upon America, he added, as their best friend.

EARLY DINNER HOUR AT COUNTRY CLUB

The following notice comes from the Country club
 ."The action of the board of governors of the Country club in their effort for an earlier dining hour on Saturday evenings has met with universal indorsement from the members.
 'The late hour at which dinner has been served in the past has not only kept many of the young married people from attend ing, but has also reduced the attendance of the dancing set.
 "The secretary has been requested to ask that all who engage tables arrive and be seated at 7:30 o'clock.
 If this request be complied with better service can be given and a better meal can be had. It is hoped that those dining at the club will bear this in remembrance, and by so doing assist the management in their efforts to please, and help to make the club more attractive for the entire membership.

ELECTION
 ID SENATE DEBATED Senator Rayner Speaks in Sup
 port of Resolution AMENDMENTS FOUGHT SutherIand's Amendment to Give Con- gross Power to Control Senatori-
 al Elections Is the Most
 Objectionable One
AMENDMENTS FOUGHT

Washington, January 20.-For the first time since the report of the resolution looking to the election of United States senators by vote of the people, that reso- lution today became the subject of de- bate in the Senate and the debate served to indicate the chief danger threatening the success of the resolution.
 Senator Rayner was the chief speaker but the discussion was participated in by Senators Bacon, Sutherland and others. It grew out of the Maryland senator's as- sault upon the Sutherland amendment giving Congress such power to control the time and manner of holding sena- torial elections as Is now possessed by 1t in the election of members of the House of Representatives.
 The amendment is giving the friends of appeals to many of the republican sen ators but not to the democrats. The ap- prehension is that it may be voted into the resolution, and in that event it is probable that the resolution as a whole may be defeated. A majority vote would be sufficient to adopt the amendment, while two-thirds majority would be neces- sary to insure the success of the resou- tion as a whole.
 Both Senators Raynor and Bacon charged that the Sutherland provision would authorize the use of the federal agents at all the polls and while MT. Sutherland admitted that such exercise of such authority would be possible he contended that 1t would be invoked only in case of abuse.
 AS he has done many times within the 9 years that he has been in public Ae, Senator Isadore Rayner of Maryland to- day in the Senate advocated the adoption Of the resolution looking to the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people.
 Saying the subject had received so much attention as to render full discussion un- necessary, MT. Rayner said he would vote for the resolution in obedience to the de- mapd of the people, even if he were not favorable to the proposition himself. Sti,l he declared himself to be earnestly and sincerely for the amendment "and would advocate 1t with all his strength before the people of his state.
 While" he said in another connection, q am opposed to amending the consti- tuition except when the public sentiment of the country demands it and while I am not led away in the slightest degree by popular passion or clamor, this great reform. in my opinion, must no longer be thwarted or impeded. Reading every ut terance of the convention that framed the constitution so far as the same has been recorded, I never can acGuiesce In the doctrine that senator represents his state in a political capacity in any greater degree than he does the people of the state that he representa-

decidedly risque. Its naughtiness has been a great advertisement. It is more popular than ever, if that were pos sible, and the crowd last night evinced an enthusiasm that was at times quite deafening.
 A very capable company Is present. ing "The Girl From Rector's" this year. Dorothea Sadlier, who takes the prin- cipal part, enters into the spirit of the occasion with much success and carries off the honors of the perform ance quite handlly, although the mem bers of her supporting company are not far behind Especially is this true of George w. Page. who makes the most of a capital comedy part as the pro- lessor who is always holding the bag for somebody or other Professor Ma boon offers many opportunities and -..r. Page did not overlook his chances. Charles Walton as Richard O'Shaug- messy, John A. Boon as Andrew Handy Lillian Paige as Mrs. Copely, Bernice Bauer as the maid, Angelica; Fred Strong as Judge Caperton, and Ed. S. Thompson as beacon Wiggleford, helped to make the performance a success. 4 Evelyn Monroe was dainty and rather fetching as Marcia Single ton. The entire company worked to- getner In brisk way.
 The engagement will be concluded with a matinee this afternoon and . performance tonight.

TAFT'S SECRETARY
 WILL SOON RETIRE

Washington, January 20-The fact that Charles D. Norton, secretary to the Pres ident. would retire from that position in the more or less near future and return to private business in Chicago, was dis closed today in connection with the pro- posal to increase the salary of the posi- ton from S60o0 to s1000O a year. It was stated in the subcommittee of the com nnttee on finance that while Mir Norton strongly urged the increase in connection with the reorganization of the White House staff he had declared that he would not himself get the benefit of the increase.
