POINT NOW BEFORE COURT

ney's Attorneys in Attempt To
Quash Indictment.

VIII be made 10 free all the men sent
10 prison following trials or pIeadings
during the present term of court
The technicality raised by s. r.
henWorthy, attorney for Looney, is to
the effect that the grand jury which
returned the Indictment was not prop-
nerly drawn. The contention is in
a way similar 10 the one which
the officers Of the Fraternal Tribunes
and the men who wrecked that soci-
ETY. escaped trials. Failure to name
the place Of meeting in the call for the
gathering of supervisors who selected
the grand jury, in the opinion Of Judge
w. H Gest, fncapacitated the grand
jury to draw legal indictments.
POINT Is TECHNICAL ONE.
The point raised by Looneys attor-
ney IS just as technical but may prove
just as effective Contained in the sta
Iutes providing for the selection of
grand jury, is a phrase TO the effect
that they must be chosen with respect
10 their qualifications for that duty.
Contained in the motion are four af-
hdav1ts from Supervisors George
Stroehle, Charles Oswald, Swan Dahl

set forth that the qualifications of the
various appointees TO the grand jury
were not discussed

SCHOTT QUITS STAR.
Night Editor Resigns to Go Into Ad-
vertising Business.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 5.-Henry
Schott, who has been q member of
the Stars staff for the last fourteen
years, left that paper today to es-
tablish himself in the advertising bust
ness in Kansas City as the head of
The Henry Schott Advertising Co. Mr..
Sehott came to Kansas City from
Leavenworth, Kan. He has been ac-
knowledged as one of the foremost
newspaper men of the country.
The Star today will say editorially:
''Mr. Henry Schott, who has been a
member of the Stars staff in success
sive places of steadily increasing i'm
portance, pretty much ever since he
turned 81, leaves the pape- today to
establish himself in an independent
business. The first essential of prac-
teal merit in a newspaper man is a
keen, tireless interest in the days
work and that has been Mr.. Schott's
first qualification. A vigorous, alert,
discriminating consciousness of what
is going on and of what can best be
done with it for the edifcation and en-
tertainment of the wide and various
and Unsuitable multitude that reads.
"In recent years he has been night
editor of the Star-a post which this
vigilant cognizance of human activities
and interest had constant exercise. In
the responsibilities that oevolve on a
man in such place there is can upon
the finest that is in him-not only the
dizziness of his workmanship and the
clarity of his understanding, but the
subtler essentials of character, the
splendid endowment that is expressed
in the work in this fullest significance
loyalty to his work. loyalty to his
followers, loyalty to his ideals. loyalty
to himself. Doubtless it is in this broad
qualification that are embraced the
most real of the reasons sounder than
is offered in even his abundant merits
as a workman-for the genuine regret
that the Star feels over losing Henry
Schott from his place on its staff.

TOPEKA GETS THE BOOK.
Unique Method of Detroit to Advertise
That City.

The Detroit board of commerce has
adopted a novel method of advertis-
ing that city, and incidentally the fame
of Topeka will spread around the
globe. The board of commerce of De-
troit is sending a handsome souvenir
booklet bound in leather to the secre-
taries of eighteen cities along a fairly
direct course around the world. A
page of space has been allotted for
each city, and a number of the cities
to whom the book has been sent have
inserted attractive photos illustrative
of the city.
As Topeka is the only capital city
in the list of American cities, the sec
rotary of the Commercial club is using
a photograph of the capitol building
to advertise this city.
Inscribed on the cover of the book
let are these words: Greetings from
Detroit Board of Commerce 1911
Then within this explanation is given
1.-THE Detroit board of trade is sending
this little book around the world with
out a chaperone, and it is hoped that
those into whose hands it comes will
treat it kindly and speed it on it's
way.
"Our purpose is to test the mail
facilities of the different nations and
to ascertain how much time is re-
quired to make a circuit of the globe

TARIFF WILL WAIT.
Nothing Will Be Done About 1t in
Congress for Some Days.

Washington, April 5.-Following a
meeting of the Democratic members of
the house committee on ways and
means today Chairman Underwood ex-
pressed the belief that no tariff legisla-
ton or method of procedure would be
laid before the house for several days.
The work of organization of the house
has delayed the discussion on a tariff
program and the committee did not de-
eide at its meeting today what plan
would be followed.
Chairman Underwood will introduce
a Canadian reciprocity bill which will
conform in essential particulars to the
agreements submitted to congress last
session by President Taft as the result
of the Canadian negotiations. Mr.. I'm
derwood would not say today when the
i'll would be introduced or whether it
would be free of amendments contain

1T is BOTTLED UP.
Diaz's Army in Chihuahua Power
less to Do Anything.

Chihuahua (Via Laredo), April 5.
Three thousand troops representing
the main strength of Diaz's forces in
northern Mexico are bottled up in
this city. 1t is the belief of the 700
Americans here that Francisco Mad
ero, the insurrecto president is pre-
pairing to deliver a decisive stroke
with view to bringing the insurrec-
ton to a crisis in this section.
The opinion expressed by the Amer
leans is that with it's present tactics
of allowing its forces to be shut up
in the towns, the Mexican government
surrection; that the insurrectos are
gaining strength daily and that already
they are extending their control over
far greater area than heretofore has
been allowed to become known. Chi
huahua with 35, 900 inhabitants, is be-
lieVed to be well fortified. The
churches, house tops and other points
of vantage are surmounted by breast
works and machine guns. The troops
mounted and headed by brass bands,
frequently parade through the streets
as if to impress the people with feel
ing of security. Many smaller towns
are garrisoned by a mere handful of
men. Just outside the city the insur-
rectos are in great force.
Madero with Orozco and /, 200 insur-
rectos is at BuStillos plantation 60
miles west where, surrounded by his
staff, he has established a so-called
capital.

OIL CASE ARGUED.
Oklahoma Still Fighting the Entrance
of Pipe Lines.

Washington, April Sit would be
Improbable to attempt to market the
natural gas of Oklahoma in buckets or
bags according to attorneys represent
ing gas interests, and so they argued
today before the supreme court of the
United States that the state officials
of Oklahoma should be prohibited from
keeping pipe lines out of the state.
The Kansas Natural Gas company
with pipe line running to the Okla
homa state line some time ago bought
the right of way for it's pipes to gas
wells in Oklahoma. That, at least, is
what the company claims to have
bought The state of Oklahoma urged
that adjoining land owners could not
sell the right of way across the public
highways. The question is being fought
out in the supreme court, with Attorney
General West and C. B. Ames appear
ing for the state.

CAUGHT IN A TRAP
What Is Said to Be Real Cause
of Army Movement.
DiaZ Was in Fear of Pressure
From Japan.

Ell Paso, April 5.-An explanation
bearing all the marks of authenticity
clearing up the American-Mexican-
Japanese situation was given here to-
day by one of the most prominent
MexicanA Americans in the country.
According to this informant. who is
IN position to know, but who insisted
upon the suppression of his name,
President Diaz was seeking a way to
refuse a coaling station on Magdalena
island to the japanese even before the
renewal of the American government S
contract came up for discussion.
''Diaz," said the INSTRUMENTATION
found himself between the upper and
neither millstones. He was impressed
with the influx of Japanese into Mex
leo and in particular with the knowl-
edge that they had mapped his entire
western coast. Slow insistent pressure
was brought on him to give Japan
coaling station on Magdalena bay. On
the other side was the United States
and the Monroe doctrine.
He tempOrized until knowledge or
his situation reached the White House
From the latter, to his conSiderab bic
relief, came an unmistakable int1ma-
ton that Japan was not to have the
station, although the same privileges
for the United States was not insisted
upon. Diaz then informed Japan that
he did not care to lease any part OF his
country to foreign power.
result of the Mexican attitude in
Japan, President Taft ordered the mo-
bilization of a division of American
troops at San Antonio, Galveston and
Ell Paso. In Mexico every citizen of
standing and information realizes that
in the event of Japanese aggression,
which however baseless the fear may
be is still feared, Mexico must rely
upon the assistance of the United
States. AS against any oversee pow
er Mexico would stand with her big
neighbor to the north. Japan has new
er attempted the colonization of large
bodies of Japanese on certain tracts of
land in Mexico, but the aggregate i'm
migration figures from the land of
the Rising Sun are impressive"
Are not the immigrants mostly
coolie laborers?"
Mexico does not need to import
labor; they are mostly veterans of
the late Russo-Japan war. They were
not brought to Mexico to take an army
of protection against the Americans.
They came of their own accord, and
for their own ends.
"And bear this in mind, they do not
make maps for fun and we know that
many of these imm Migrants have had
no other visible occupation"
