JAPAN rs INTERESTED
Killing Of Japs at Torreon May Lead
to Uncle Sam Being Re-
quested to Take
Hand.

JUAREZ, May 24-Rumors of pend
ing American intervention added new
difficulties to Madero today. The reb-
.el chieftan declined to issue any state
ment regarding reports from Torreon
that number of Japs were slain
there. 1t is expected by army men
and Texans both here and at San An
tonia that If the report proves true,
Japan will ask the United States to
take action under the Monroe Doc
trine. Madero is greatly puzzled by
the situation. If he goes to Mexico
City, he and De la Barra will have to
be responsible to all the world for
the actions of the insurgents. yet Ma
dero has no control over the southern
rebels.
Socialist headed by Edward Magon
assert that Madero is a representative
of the money power. They declare
that the Torreon outrages will bring
about American intervention which is
desired by the American interests.
Much comment is heard here over
the action of the customs officials in
allowing car loads of guns and ammu
nition to cross the border. 1t is point
ed out that in case of intervention
this ammunition and these arms would
be used against the American troops

MINNEAPOLIS, May PA. e.
Smith, G. S. D., of the Fourth Church
of Christ, Scientist, here gave out
copy, of resolution adopted at a
meeting of the church members by
which vote of SO to members de-
cided to withdraw from the mother

control the teaching" and that the
board condemned Christian Science
as taught by Abbot Smith, who was o,
personal student of Mrs. Eddy.

the board of directors of the Mother

truthfulness of the charges and Mr..
Smith was requested to refrain from
teaching until he so corrected his
views as to again be in line with

by Mrs. Eddy in the Christian Science

MIR. Smith did not accept this adj
monition, but rendered his resigna-

personal followers. who constituted

THE OR{GINS or MARS

The recent speech Of the German
Chancellor OH war and peace. disarma-
ment and arbitration, some features OF
which we have already discussed. began
with this sententious declaration. "The
"time when wars were made by cabinets
lis past. The feelings which here in
Europe may lead TO war have their
roots in antagonisms which must be
found in popular sentiment" That is
to say. that wars are popular rather than
official in their origin and that govern
ments do not lead their countries into
war. but are themselves forced into war
by the belligerence of public opinion. If
that were universally or even generally
true the fact would he Of the greatest
possible significance, but with all re.
spect for its author the declaration IS
sure 10 meet with Il strong and. we be-
lieye. a successful challenge.
IF we pass by wars waged against
half civilized or savage peoples. such as
the German war against The Uottentots
the Dutch war In Acheen. the French
war IN Tonquin and the British Egyptian
river war. and consider only those which
occur between peers. the record will be
found not to sustain the Chancellor's
dictum. We caDrot concede that there
was any popular demand in Russia for
war with Japan, nor any in Japan for
war with Russia, which was nearly suf
ficient 10 sweep the government off its
feet. That war, the latest on record.
was a government made war. As between
Great Britain and the Beers there were
no indications Of popular demand on
either side which the government might
hot have resisted. The Spanish-Ameri-
can War Is often referred 10 az one

Police FAJyLRE WITH CRIME.

The "soueal hook" Of the West 3Ith
street police station. as the record OF
complaints is c,llcd, does, indeed, dis
close an astonishing record of police in
efficiency. One hundred and twenty-One
reported crimes resulted in six arrests,
OF which four were made by police
men who witnessed the crimes. Thus.
III complaints received from citizens
brought forth only two arrests. No
doubt the police would say that many
CT these complaints were mistaken, no
crime having been committed. But a
good many Of the crimes complained Of
were OF the sort about which mistake
would not be likely.
There were flftv-four larcenies. Mis-
takes about larcenies are readily and
often made. Property is mislaid and
theft Is suspected. But as to burglaries,
Of which forty-six were reported, mis-
takes are not likely. To make charge
Of burglary the citizen must complain
that bis premises were broken into. 1t Is
not easy to err as to whether or not
building has been forclbly entered. Sim
ilarly Of highway robberies and as
saults. A man usually knows when he
has been beaten or held up In the streets
and made to deliver his property. Thus,
leaving larcenies, about which mistakes
are frequent. out Of the reckoning, there
is left total OF sixty-seven crimes re-
gar1ing which mistakes are improbable,
and with only six arrests as evidence of
police efficiency.
Moreover. the usual police defence that
many complaints are unfounded loses
its force when It Is considered how many
small crimes take place without ever
being reported to the police. Belief in
tie uselessness Of complaining to the
police IS widespread Every one knows
of instances where apartments have
been broken into and little taken, or
apartment cellars robbed and q bicycle,
for example, stolen, or where pockets
have been picked, or stickpins abb
stracted from cravats, and the victims
Of these thefts have not felt It worth
while to report. To be sure, the police
cannot be held for failure 10 arrest
where the crime IS not called TO their
attention. But IN considering the fail
ure OF the police to prevent crime and
protect property from the depredations
of criminals the large total of unre-
ported crime has to be regarded. 1t Is,
perhaps, safe to say that there are more
instances Of crime OF which no COM
plant is made TO the police than Of I'M
founded complaints received by them.
