Americas First Gaps"
From the National Magazine.

From the National Magazine.
We must rub our eyes to realize that it
is only seventy-fve years since the first
Japanese came to America. He was
Manjiro Nakahama a boy of fourteen
who was picked up by the captain OF
New England fishing smack in 1S41. Ac-
cording to the report Of that time young
Nakahama, with four other lads. had set
out from the sores of Japan to do some
deep sea fishing. A violent storm came
up and washed them ashore on an island
far out in the north Pacific. For several
months they struggled against starvation
and exposure. but finally were rescued by
the American captain. Three of the boys
were left at Hawaii. but Nakahama stay
ed on board and became a favorite of
the captain and crew. They brought him
to the states and put him In New Eng
land school. Later he returned to his
native land. and when Commodore Perry
arrived in Japan some years later 1t was
Manjiro Nakahama. the shipwrecked boy,
who acted as interpreter between the
American ENJOYS and the Japanese feud-
al government officers. The sympathetic
and kindly interest of this sailor lad had
much to do with the success of Admiral
Perrys negotiations. How often these
little incidental influences, so vital at the
time. are overlooked in the writing OF
history.

ANOTHER DROP IN WHEAT.
Two-Cent Fall Today Makes Total
Decrease of Nine Cents in Slump.

CHICAGO. May 1I.-Severe calling OF
margins today resulted in a drop of more
than cents a bushel from the price OF
wheat. This meant a fall Of more than
cents from. the high figures which re-
Gently prevailed. The market, however.
though wilder than under ordinary con-
ditions. was relatively steady as compar-
ed with the previous day, when. just be-
fore the close, a flood Of stop loss orders
brought about condition amounting to
nearly a panic.
Most of the trade today seemed to be
in the nature of an effort on the part
Of owners to capture disappearing profits
Accordingly, the pressure lessened quickly
on the weak spots. which were reached
when the holdings of smaller spectators
were sacrificed. At one time July wheat
sold as low as 1.O6N, as compared with
LOSS last night.
The unexpected improvement in the
crop outlook, which by many was re-
garded as chiefly responsible for the radi-
cal change of sentiment from the bull to
the bear side, was further emphasized by
advices from the fields. regardless OF
whether fall or spring planted. In gen.
eral. the crop. though late, was re-
garded as promising.

A. STURSBERC DETAILS
SUGAR TRUST METHODS
Tells Plans of Refineries to
Get Control of
Industry.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE alleged
methods pursued by the Sugar Refineries
Company to gain and obtain control of
the sugar industry in America were de-
Scribed today by Julius A. Stursberg. up
to 1887 treasurer of the Brooklyn Sugar
Refinery Company. Mr.. Stursberg was
the first witness of the day in the taking
of testimony before a special examiner
in the governments dissolution suit
against the so-called sugar trust
Mr.. Stursberg said that although the
refineries company trustees held the stock
of the Brooklyn company. with many
others in the east, the Brooklyn company
was permitted to run it's own affairs with
the exception of fixing it's output. This
was fixed by the trustees, he said. These
trustees also instructed other companies
whose stock they held as to how much
sugar they could produce, he said. The
witness was one of the eleven. but did
not, he said. remember the names of the
other ten.
District Attorney Wise read a list of
the directors of the American company in
1891. and the witness said that the fol-
lowing directors had served as trustees
of the rehneries company: Henry o. Have
meyer. Theodore Havemeyer. F. o. Mat
theson. John E. Parsons, John f. Searles.
jr.. Joseph B. Thomas. William Dick,
Charles o. Foster. Charles II. Senff and
himself. :
'.All of the profits Of the Brooklyn re-
1nery were turned over to the trustees
asked Mr.. Wise.
Il think nearly all the profits were; l
know that amounts were turned over to
the trustees from time to time
What became of the rest OF the prof
its?"
1T was used as working capital"
This, SO far as the witness knew, was
the course pursued in all the other re-
fineries controlled by the trustees.

Senator Smoot of Utah. leading repub-

position to the House iron and steel bill
and to the Cummin substitute for that
measure.
Admitting some of the present metal
rates were excessive, he said that
the finance committees hearings had con-
WINGED him that no general revision should
be undertaken without further informa-

Senator Watson Says He Never
Aided Tariff Revision.

Senator Watson of West Virginia. in a
speech in the Senate today in support
Of the House iron and steel tariff re-
vision bill. charged progressive repLb-

serted that Theodore Roosevelt, whom he
characterized as an arch progressive
had failed while President to lift his fin
ger in the interest of tariff revision. He
charged President Taft with entering into
a deal to veto tariff revision bills in order
to get votes for the Canadian reciprocity
bill.
Senator Watson opposed free trade as
impracticable at this time. but favored
a reduction Of duties as in the line OF
business sense.

ROOSEVELT MEETS
ATTACKS ON "BOSS"
AND THIRD TERM

TOLEDO. Ohio. May 17.-As a climax
to day of strenuous and even sensa ton
al campaigning. Col. Roosevelt, in his
speech here last night. proclaimed himself
the champion of State Chairman Walter
+. Brown of this city, denounced as a
boss" by the Taft management and even
by the President himself. 1t was the
opinion of Col Roosevelt that any man
who submits himself TO the electorate as
a candidate for Office and takes his
chances in political campaign is not
boss in the offensive sense I'm which that
title is generally given.
There Is a tremendous fight raging in
this city around the personality Of Chair
man Brown. and as the candidate rode
from his car to the hall where he spoke
he saw signboards covered with flaming
posters calling upon the republican voters
10 rise and smite the Roosevelt leader.
Says Brown Used Threats.
Taft are John y. WHY'S, the motor car
manufacturer. and Z. d. Libbey. head of
the immense glass industry situated In
this city which bears his name. The
placards bore the charge that Chairman
Brown had threatened these men with
defeat unless they ran upon his ticket.
Upon Roosevelt to reply as to whether he
considered Brown a boss in the light of
all that had been said.
Promptly and vigorously and to the
great delight of the loyal organization
workers, Roosevelt not only accepted the
challenge and defended the state chair
man. but he even crossed the line and
challenged the Taft delegates, cleverly
drawing attention to the fact that they
represented the interest of massed capital
in the contest. His defense of Brown
was predicated upon the. chairman's cleo
ton by a pronounced majority as one OF
the constitutional delegates from Lucas
county last November. at which election
Brown led the. ticket which was vic
torious.
To the confusion of the local paper
which has been attacking Brown, Roose-
Welt quoted extremely laudatory articles
published concerning him when a candi-
date for the delegateship.
