Lindsay Russell. who has been trav-
cling with Hamilton Holt, editor of the
independent, In the Orient and Is re-
turning with him to the United States,
delivered at the University club on
Thursday afternoon a notable address
on aspects OF japanese business and
civilization. He said:
"Thc only subject which have
studied ut close range of late Is Japan.
ticr progress has been so rapid and
her achievements so wonderful that II
may well challenge the interest of the
world.
There are two or three points upon
which japan Is misrepresented and
misunderstood. In foreign countries, at
the present time.
zone Is that Japanese merchants do
not respect credits or live up To their
contracts This X untrue as regards
the large merchant and those Of iinan-
ciai responsibility and long standing In
three-quartcrs of Japan's internal trade
lis moved upon credit of from sixty to
ninety days. Her foreign business has
doubled In ten years and Is now nearly
$500, 900 900 annually No such bust
ness as this can be transacted on Other
than a solid foundation.
There are innumerablc small mer-
chants In Japan. with from 800 ia
$1,000 capital. II Is In dealing with this
class that the foreigner. at least, meets
with most trouble, but when that same
merchant increases his capital to $4,000
and upwards. his respect for his con
tract and promptness In meeting his
credit obligations increases.
"A falsehood regarding Japan, which
is both innocently and maliciously cir
lculated In every part of the world, II
that the banks of Japan are compelled
to employ Cinnamon because they are
more HONEST than Japanese.
There are 2O56 banks In Japan, ant

GONE ID THE HAPPY
 HUNTING GROUNDS

Lawton. Okla. February 23.-Quanah Parker. chief of the Comanche Indians, last of the great Indian braves who once spread terror among white set tiers of the southwest. died at his home at the foot of the Wichita mountains, near Lawton at 12:05 o'clock this aft ernoon from a severe attack of rheu- matism which affected the heart.
 Parker and his family had been on a visit to Cheyenne Indians near Ham, mond Sunday. He had been suffering with rheumatism for several weeks and while among the Cheyennes the recent cold waves brought on severe attack. Believing his end was near he ordered his relatives to bring him home. He ar rived at Cache. the nearest railroad station. on stretcher shortly after | o'clock this morning and within 20 minutes after being carried to his home died. The funeral will be held tomor- TOW at 3 o'clock.
 Quanah Parker was 67 years old. His mother, Cynthia Ann Parker, was taken captive by the Indians when oth CT members of the family of settlers from Illinois were killed in raid. At that time she was a child of years and grew to womanhood among the In dians, finally marrying the chief Pe- tanocana. Before the chiefs death he designated Quanah to be his successor when proven to be worthy of the throne by bravery.
 The young chief, then IS years old, reorganized the tribe and went on the warpath, leading numerous raids until the establishment of Fort Sill in 1874, when he surrendered to General Mo Kinzie.
 Three years ago at the great inter- tribal council Quanah was formally elected chief of the Comanches after a bitterly contested campaign in which Eschiti, one of the leading sub b-chiefs, was his principal opponent.
 With the death of Parker the Co., manches will have to select new chief Friends of Eschiti declare he Is the most probable successor of the great Quanah, but there are other candidates for the chieftainship.

FRANK GARDNER IS ACQUITTED
 OF BRIBING OTTO G. FOELKER

New York, February 23-In a verdict of not guilty the states first endeavor to make a criminal case out of the alleged corruption by the attempted purchase of legislators votes to defeat the anti-rac- ing betting bills, three years ago, col lapsed today. After an hours delibera- tion jury in the criminal branch of the supreme court this afternoon acquitted former State Senator Frank J. Gardner. who was charged with offering a s1O,OOO bribe to former State Senator Otto G.
 Foelker. who Is now congressman. in the interest of the race track interests.
 Gardner was on the stand for a good part of the time today undergoing cross examination, denying again and again that, he had attempted to bribe Foelker. Justice SeRb'lry. in his ehaar-a ts-E- i
 jurors they should not .sonsider any i>f- erences to the s5O0,000 "boode, fund which 1t had been alleged was raised for the race track interests. but to confine them selves to the question as to whether Foel- ker was offered bribe by Gardner He made it plain In the final analysis that the case resolved itself into a question

ThinR Morrow Bill Better
 Than Holding An Election
Efforts Are Being Made Get Entire Jefferson Delegation to Agree On Bill So That It Can Be Passed
 Without Serious Opposition.
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

entire delegation will support the bill.
 Representative Judge has always ad- vocated the beer cafe. This is a fea- ture which, 1t Is generally conceded. he originated. He Is not uneqc.vocally welded to the idea of the dispensary, but 1t is taken for granted that he will be found in line when the vote on the Morrow bill Is taken He states his belief that the majority of the people of Jefferson favor dispensary, and that policy as liberal as the Morrow bill provides for could not be obtained by an election.
 Repl esentative Mcdonald is not in favor Of a dspensary. But he is firmly con- vinced that no election should be held. He has no determination, at the present time, to oppose the Morrow bill.
 Representative Eastis does not believe that through an election dispensaries and beer cafes could be had. He prefers the dispensaries and the beer cafes to the simple dispensaries. He Is not abso- lutely certain, either, but that the pres ent conditions could not be changed by the result of an election in Jefferson. He announces himself as opposed to the reign of the blind tiger" and as absolutely dlsgIsted with the evils of statewide pro- hibition. His views are shared by Repre- sentative Eastis.
 Representative Barnard like the re- mainder of the delegation, would prefer open saloons, properly regulated and li- censed, to the dispensary But he does not desire to infiict a bitter election on his people. and Is not certain of the out come of an election were it to be held in Jefferson.
 From the indications, therefore, the Morrow bill will receive the unanimous vote of the Jefferson delegation. It Is probable, however, thai the original draft when 1t is completed, will be amended in minor details in order that certain features which might be objectionable to some may not interfere with the success of the measure.

IS ESSENTIAL ID
 FORT|FY CANAL

Washington, February 23.-Fortification of the Panama canal is absolutely essen tial to render the waterway an asset and not a liability In time of war, Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, told the House committee on appropria- treaty could be depended on to insure the neutrality of the big ditch in the event of hostilities with maritime power.
 So convincing were General Wood s arguments that the committee included in the sundry civil appropriation bill s3,000,O0O for the fortifcation work. The measure was then reported to the House
 General Wood pointed out that with powerful long range guns covering the Atlantic and Pacific ends of the canal the consolidation of the American fleet, it Is believed would be accomplished, and it's movements from ocean to ocean, as occasion might demand, would be un- trammeled. Without land Notifications offering such protection, a hostile fleet. he said. could approach close to the mouth of the canal and pick off the American ships as they steamed out
 As an added reason why big guns should be mounted. General Wood de- clared that the big locks at each end of Gatun lake could be reached by shell fire. Because of this condition he ad- vocated the maintenance of a garrison of not less than 5000 men,
 General Wood estimated the cost of the proposed land fortifications, includ- ing barracks and quarters. at s12. 475,S2s

The Day in Congress

Washington, February 23.--A day de- voted in the House to appropriation Treasures came to a lively conclusion when, just before adjournment, Rep pesentative Frank w. Mondel of Wy oming and Delegate James Wickersham of Alaska met in a personal clash. Blows were aimed but friendly inter- vention prevented their landing. The passage between the gentlemen was followed by the defeat of the Mondell Dill providing for the leasing of gov ornment coal lands in Alaska
 The House passed the military acad- omy appropriation bill and the Moon bill for the codifcation of the judiciary laws.
 In the Senate a resolution by Sena- tor Cummins, calling upon the President tor information bearing upon the Ca nadian reciprocity agreement. was odopted.

TAFT SAYS IS NO
 CAUSE FOR ALARM

Sacramento, Cal, February 23.-Gov- ernor Johnson sent to the legislature today a message on the Japanese sit uation in which he said:
 T am just in receipt of the following telegram from the President:
 "'Telegram received If treaty is rat filed as proposed by me, arrangements and assurances that have heretofore existed in regard to Japanese immigra tion will more certainly secure exist in status than the old treaty and you are at liberty to say so on my au- thority. WILLIAM H. TAFT"
 Late today Governor Johnson made the following statement:
 q know nothing of the treaty. The matter in which the people of the state are interested is exclusion

Montgomery. February 23.--(Special) Were 1t not generally considered true that the Morrow dispensary bill, i'll course of preparation at the present time, will give to Birmin gham, in case of It's passage better conditions than could be obtained by an election, that bill would receive the opposition of the big majority of the members of the Jefferson delegation
 There are two reasons why the ma jority Is unwilling to oppose the bill actively and aggressively in an effort to restore the licensed saloon to Bir- mingham. The first of these Is that it Is recognized by the members of the delegation that bitter election in Jeff ferson at the present time Is desired by no one The second reason Is based on the beIef that by means of an cleo tion Jefferson county could not obtain as much relief as the Morrow bill will give.
 It is very probable. therefore, that when the bill Is drafted and amended to suit the members of the delegation, 1t will be submitted with the unani- nous approval of the members, and will go through with flying colors and with out material opposition.
 Representative Percy, when ques. toned today, declared himself as ad- verse to making remarks until he had made close study of the bill. As is known, Mir. Percy. for Birming gham, favors saloons--a limited number of highly licensed anG closely supervised saloons.

 does not take kindly to the recall and to the provisions whereby parties are abolished and party lines obliterated. ',The recall feature,'' stated Governor O'Neal this morning. "is directly contrary to the suggestions in my message to the legislature Therefore of course. do not approve that feature.
 ""rhe idea of abolishing party lines has obtained in the west with good re- suits. But In the west the population as a rule is white population. As long as we have the negro with us we cannot afford to destroy the democratic party" The governor did not state that he
 
 state that ne would amend 1t and return 1t so amended to the legislature. He did state, however. that he could not tell at the present time whether or not he would approve the bill as 1t Is today. This was taken to mean that some time will be required for his consideration of the measure and it's provisions.
 The ''recall'' feature is contained in practically all of the commission govern ment bills. Should the governor amond one he would amend them all
 Concerning the constitutionality of the bill. the governor stated that he had not examined 1t closely and could not express an opinion.
 The point has been raised as is known, that the classification of the commission bills renders them unconstitutional Among the lawyers of the legislature on this point there is difference of opinion h this connection it might be of in- terest to state that according to a re- port which has come to Montgomery from Birmingham. Judge Lane is making . close study of this alleged unconstitu- tionality. This Is considered a natural action on the part of Judge Lane. Other wise, it might appear that after vacating on office in which he Is well pleased, he would find himself member of a com mission which does not exist
 It Is also an interesting point in this connection that 1t Is not an absolute cer- tainty that Governor O'Neal will appoint the three commissioners on whom the Jefferson delegation reached an agreement some nights ago.

Cincinnati February 2S.-The grand jurys investigation into the alleged "gra- tuities" paid to former treasurers of Ham, ilton county by various Cincinnati banks took on a new turn late today when TIL den R. French. former treasurer, was summoned before the inquisitorial body.
 The subpoena for French was preceded by similar documents for two bank offi- cials, G. P. Griffin, vice president of the Citizens National bank, and Charles Bart lett, vice president of the Fourth Nation al bank. They are directed to produce books showing French's deposits in these banks between January l, 1908, and Jan uary 1, 1907.
