given them for consideration.
In the matter Of Associated Chart

The proposition made to the No-Ll-
cense League by the w. @. t. U. at

ing temperance evangelization, and re-
ferred to the ministers association,
was acted upon as follows: After a
clearer understanding of the matter
obtained through interviews with the
president of the w G. T. u. the

burg Civic League cooperate with the
w. G. T. U. in their effort against Gig
arettes and social evils, assuring them

distressing Chinese famine be sub

Gets Photo of Treaty.

During the month of February. Am
bassador Wilson was busy cultivating
certain sources in the higher circles Of
the Mexican government. Very near
the end OF the month, Mr.. Wilson OBJ.
tanned for few hours the original Sc
cret treaty between Japan and Mexi-
co. He kept it long enough to have a
photograph made CT it, and then it
v as returned to its place in the hidden
archives OF the Mexican state depart
ment.
The treaty was in the shape OF sew
eral clauses which were to be a part
o. formal agreement on the part OF
the Mexican government to allow the
Japanese commercial line of steam
ships to have its cwn coaling station
at a point on the Pacific Coast and
to grant certain other colonization
rights in the states along the Western
coast.

Provided Coal Station.

The secret clauses of the treaty
those Photographed by Ambassador
Wilscn-gave Japan a lease of a coal
ing station and maneuver grounds in
Magdalena Bay, with the alternative
of a coaling station at one other of the
few scattered ports down the Mexican
coast.
The clauses also set forth Japan
and Mexicos mutual interests In the
Pacific, and while not stipulating an
offensive and defensive alliance, gave
in a diplomatic way Japan's keen in
terest in the protection OF Mexico
against aggression. The treaty had
been ratified, not by the Mexican SEN
ate, but by Diaz and his cabinet
The day after he had obtained the
photograph OF this treaty Mr.. Wilson
took the train for Washington. He
wired the State Department CT his
coming and of the urgency OF mis- mis-
sion.
When Mr.. Wilson arrived in Wash
ington, the Cabinet was already in ses-
sion with the President. The Am
bassadOr went direct into the Cabi-
net room and laid before the Presi-
dent and his adviser the evidence he
brought with him OF the secret nego-
tiations between Mexico and Japan,
which were menacing the interests OF
the United States.

Governors Mind Unchanged.

But Governor Glasscock has declar-
ed he will call the lawmakers togeth-
or, and to change front now would
need a strong excuse. The executive
has shown somewhat of stiffening OF
the backbone recently, and it may be
that il the face Of the opposition he
will issue he call. And it might turn
out that he will get just what he asks
for.
Among the visitors here who talk
ed with Governor Glasscock were
Davis Elkins and Albert b. White
Both favor a primary law, but sincere
ly doubt the advisability OF an extra
session. Both are prospective candi-
dates for United States Senate. Ell
kins was Senator for a few weeks
prior to the election OF Senator Wat
son. He favors "a primary election law
to include the nomination of United
States Senators, but be does not be-
lieve that it would be expedie1t to call
an extra session of the legislature for
that purpose at this time. He favors
having the Republican State Commit
tee call a Statewide primary, and
would then be willing to take his
chances. Or. If the party leaders pre-
fer he is willing that all candidates
for the Senate remain in the back
ground until after the candidates for
the legislature are nominated.
Elkins is pretty busy stirring about
over the State and is laying up some
strong fences. He is nearer a candi.
date than anyone else at this time.
White, who had the honor OF serv
ing term as Governor, is more indefi.
mite about his probable candidacy. He
is close to Governor Dawson ald con.
ferred with him while here.
Ex-senator Scott and ex-Congress.
Hubbard may cut some figure in the
Senatorial race, and then there is
Isaac 7. Mann, from down the State.
though Watsons successor will like
ly be from the Northern half of the
State.
Whether or not an investigation Of
alleged corruption and bribery in Sc
curing the nomination for United
States Senator will be included by
Governor Glasscock in his call for an
extra session OF the legislature may
cut some figure in the next senatorial
race Some CT the republican leaders
have declared il favor OF such an in
vestigation, The charges made on the
floor OF the legislature that Watson
and Chiffon received their nomination
through bribery have not been forgot
ten. Then some want to talk about
the Scott-Hubbard primaries, which
began about year ago. Such investi-
cations might prove unpleasant for
both parties

GLASSCOCK TOLD
MOVE IS FATAL
Calling of West Virginia Legislature
In Extra Session Declared a Mis-
take-Primary Bill in Peril.
BY ]. c. BOND.

Charleston, w. Va, April 10.-Be-
tween prospective candidates for the
next campaign and the proposed ex-
treordinary session OF the Legislature
republican politicians Of West Vir-
GINA are on the verge of nervous col
lapse. Party suicide" has become a
fayorite expression, especially within
the week. 1t is applied TO both can
didates and extra sessions.
The convention OF State postmas-
tiers gave the republican leaders an
excuse to come TO Charleston last
week, though some OF them had other
excuses, and it might be that Cover
nor Glasscock geve them some kind
OF an invite, and once again politics
superseded business.
While the proposed extraordinary
session of the Legislature attracted
chief interest, the matter OF candi-
dates fer United States Senator and
for Governor were not far in the back
ground. The large majority Of the re-
publican leaders are opposed to the ex-
traordinary sssion OF the legislature,
which Governor Glasscock said he
would call about April % to consider
a primary law.

diately Gen. Wood went to the
White House, and was closeted with
the President for several hours. Then
he went to the War Department. The
building of the War Department was
all ablaze with lights that night, as
the Washington correspondents will
remember. Orders were going out for
the mobilization of 10000 men at San
Diego, San Antonio and Galveston,
for the assembling CT marines at
Guantanamo, and the patroling of the
west coast OF Mexico by American
war vessels.
Jose /. Lfnantour, then Mexican
minister of finance, was in New York
at the time Ambassador Wilson
went to New York after delivering
lis message at Washington, and he
had a conference with Senior Liman-
tour at the Plaza Hotel ca the night
OF his arrival.
What Mr.. Wilson ted Senior Imam
tour was that he (Wilso1) was to be
the bearer of message from the gov
eminent of the United States to Pres
ident Diaz. The message was in eff
feet that the United States govern
ment would view as an unfriendly act
the carrying into effect of the clauses
of that secret treaty; that President
Diaz would be given six days from the
time OF the receipt of the message or
ally from Ambassador Wilson in
which to abrogate that treaty with
Japan: if positive assurances that
such compliance had been made were
not given at the end of six days the
United States government would take
whatever action it should see fit to de-
fend itself against the unwarranted ac-
ton of both Mexico and Japan.

Mexico Forced to Yield.

Mr.. Wilson arrived in the City of
Mexico within three days CT the arri-
val of Senior Limantour. Within a
week of his return the order went out
from Washington recalling all of the
American ships CT war from the MeXi-
can coast. 1t was announced officially
| that this was being done because Mex
| leo had requested it, 1t did not COM
port with the dignity of the Mexican
government that ships Of another pow
er should be patrolling her coasts.
The withdrawal of the ships was
the only outward sign of the fact that
Mexico had complied with the de-
mands OF the Washington government.
The next and the last move in this
| very tense diplomatic game was on
Presidents Taft's initiative He sent
a message to the Emperor of Japan,
deprecating the revival of wild rumors
concerning the growth of hostility be-
tween the two nations, and reassuring
the Emperor OF the permalency of the
historic relations which existed be-
tween the two nations.
J This came after Baron Uchida, Am
bassador to the United States, had Of
flcially noted the reports that Japan
was the real power aimed at in the
maneuvers, and had officially branded
these reports as malicious misstate-
ments, made by the enemies of peace.
1t was not startling news concern
ing the imminence of the fall of the
Diaz government before the blows of
the instruction that brought Ambas-
sador Wilson SURVIVING to Washington
and sent 10000 men hurrying down
to the border within twenty-four hours

Facts Are Substantiated.

The revelation Ct the story OF in
trigue between the Diaz government
and the representatives of the gov
ernment OF Japan, looking toward the
occurring by the latter of adequate coal
ing stations on the Pacific coast of
the republic, is now substantiated.
The truth of these negotiations and
the effect that their discocery Rad up
on President Taft and his Cabinet at
Washington comes from a source
which is trustworthy. Respect for the
source Of the information has not in
terfered with the verification Of the
news by more than one authority.
Henry l.. Wilson the Ambassador OF
the United States to Mexico, rad &C.
casion many months ago to realize
the strong antipathy of the Mexicans
of all classes toward the United
States. This was first shown during
the demonstrations by the students of
the City of Mexico which were direct
ed against Americans last autumn. On
enc Of the nights when students were
par dbihS tue SlIteJS, SuOuIlIS against
Americans, band of them encounter
ed Ambassador Wilson's son. They
assaulted him and then offered him a
peculiarly vicious insult.
Wilson Made investigation.
When Mr.. Wilson's son told his
father OF this matter, the Ambassador
took no action whatever, though he
was fully justified in doing so. Then
later, during the celebration in hen
or of the foundation of the republic,
when many Japanese of high rank
came as special ambassadors from
their country to the capital, the Am
bassador had reason to know that
marks OF particular respect were be-
ing paid to the Japanese and that
there had been private audiences be-
teew Diaz and a few OF his more in
fluential ministers and the Japanese
delegates.
1t was during the visit OF the Japa-
nese that MFR. Wilson heard in the
streets CT Mexico City cries OF Long
live Japan; down with the Grirgoes."
So far as he was able to ascertain no
effort was made on the part OF the au-
thorities to suppress those who gave
voice to these sentiments.

Leaders Predict Disaster.

One OF the results of the gathering
OF politicians here was a strong pro-
test made to him against the extra
session, not that there is much opposi-
ton to primary election law. hut be-
cause of the fear that no such law
could be passed, or, if pa sed, It might
prove a bad one. Here is the situa-
ton: The House Of DELEGATES is dem
ocratic by 40 majority. There is lit
tie doubt about the lower branch pass
ing law such as Governor Glasscock
wants. But in the Senate the mem
bership is e tie. OF the Is republicans
only eight stand by the governor in
all his demands. Perhaps two or three
more OF them will be with him for
a primary law. Only three or four
democrats can be depended upon TO
support the Governor, so there is
doubt as to his ability to get the nee
essary 16 votes in the upper branch
for such bill. On the other hand,
President Hatfield OF the State Senate
would be backed by perhaps six other
republicans and a majority OF The dem
ocrats in having a primary law enact
ed entirely different from that advC-
Gated by the Governor. Any bill pass
ed by the Senate would necessarily be
q compromise measure.

An Inhuman Husband.

The Clinton News-Dispatch gives
the following account of the deeds
Of an inhuman husband who was
tried in the mayors court in that
town
The cast of Herbert Hobbs for
HIte-beating, which was reported in
these columns last week, was called
eral black and blue spots about her
lace as result of the severe beat
ING which the brute, who had prom
.Sed TO love and protect her, had in
alcted upon her a week ago. Mrs.
Hobbs testified that Hobbs poured
nearly pint OF Whiskey into glass
and told her to drink it; she refused
and after he had sat down to supper
lie jumped up and began to choke
and beat her, knocking her down
several times with her baby in her
arms, and in the scuffie the baby
received q cash Oh the head about
! - inches long. Mrs. Hobbs also
ieStIhed that he ordered her to
walk in front of the mirror o see
herself die. Ii had been reported to
Us several times that he forced her
al the point of his pistol to walk
up 10 the mirror to see herself die,
Out We are informed that he did not
araW the pistol on her, but did use
lne language, walk up before the
mirror and see yourself die Mrs.
HOODS also testified that he did not
only beat her numerically with his
hFsl' but he beat her over the bead
WIN piece of stove-wood. The
shft-Waist that she was wearing at
Tue time looks almost as If it had
0een dipped in blood. We interview
Gu Mrs. Hobbs after the trial and she
informed US that he commenced to
oeat her last November and had kept
u up al intervals; said she could not
tell the number of times he had beat
en her. 1t is said by those who know
Nel mat Mrs. Hobbs is a good wo-
4lHn' and is in no way responsible
'oE the family feuds. The mayor
very properly bound Hobbs over to
t0urt IN the sum OF $500 justified
'0nu' which he failed to give, and
"aS remanded to Jail to await the
NeAI term Of criminal court.
-, again, We say, let the law be
hanged; bring back the old whip
p,ns-post for 'wife-beaters only
t-a'e them in the stocks and apply

Looks Shaky for Simmons.
Hickory Times-Mercury.]

Hickory Times-Mercury.J
The Senatorial fight In this State
promise to be one Of unusual inter
est. Senator Simmons will be forced
to contest for his seat against three
other prominent Democrats-Gover-
nor Kitchin, Ex-Governor Charles B.
Aycock, and Judge Clark of the North
Caroline Supreme Court. These gen.
tlemen are all high in party councils
and Simmons will, no doubt, have the
fight of his life.
Governor Kitchin is perhaps the
most astute politician in the State,
and whoever wins over him will have
had a hard fight. Aycock is no mean
politician, while Judge Clark is one
OF the most popular men in the State,
and it begins to look shakey for Sim
mons.
