First Views on Canal Opening.

The first official utterance from Japan
the effect of the opening of
sthe Panama canal has been made by NJ.
..Yukawa, chief Of the bureau of ship
supervision. before the Japanese Ship
tOwners Association. and it indicated
anew the Importance of the canals open
ing upon the worlds commerce.
Mr.. Yukawa confirmed the belief held
here that cotton from the southern states
and machinery from New York and other
eastern states viii eventually prefer the
Panama canal as the route To the far
last. Many people, however, believe that
us d general trade proposition preference
will be given 10 the Suez route because
IF the numerous ports of call This
cute Mr. Yukawa thought. had the
great advantage OF permitting easy sup
trIy OF fuel and frequent taking on and
delivery Of freight.
As against this. however, il should be
ojuted out in favor OF the Panama route
tthat coastwise trade profits chiefly the
local shippers, ana also that the Ameri-
an government plans 10 establish a gov
rrnment supply station for ships that
pass through the canal, where fuel may
- bought at cost.
The interest Of the Ship Owners Asso-
citation in the subject lies in the fact that

Toxic Planning for Convention.

Toxic, the meeting place of the great
international Sunday school convention in
1916, is preparing in far-sighted way for
the great gathering. Already preliminary
arrangements are being made so that
every detail may be worked out to insure
the success of the congress. japanese
business men and findnciers have come
forward with the promise OF funds, and
active workers like Count Okuma. Baron
Shibusawa, Mayor Sakatani and DR.. Soy
eda are energeticaliy helping in getting
the convention machinery under way.
A meeting OF japanese and Americans
was held recently at the home of Count
okuma. who is president of the Japan
sunday School Association. and il was
great hall for the meeting of the conven-
ton
But the question of accommodating sew
eral thousand foreign delegates is the
most difficult to solve. From 1.Jo0 to
Zoo delegates are expected from the
United States, ana owing TO the scarcity
of hotels in Toxic the problem of lodging
the visitors is perplexing-
1t is estimated that the existing foreign
hotels would take care of about a thou
sand, but as the convention meets in June
many Of these accommodations will have
been taken by tourists. The suggestion.
therefore, has been made that residents
gof Toxic possessing foreign style houses
should help out the general committee By
placing one or two rooms at its disposal

IN entire native tribe devoted to
brigandage has Just been broken up
and scattered by the Japanese police.
With their elimination. something has
been learned of how these robbers
operated.
The tribe has been compared to the
automobile bandits OF France. in that
they hung together for self-protection,
and resisted the authorities with the
same dogged determination. This robber
clan. numbering about 5000, had its
refuge in the mountains of Hakone. 1t
had existed since the old days of feudal-
ism. and a long list Of depredations'
savage, ruthless and cruel in character
has been laid at its door,
In times of peace-that is, when the
pursuit of the authorities was not too
persistent-the bandits would live, with
their wives and children, in tents down
in the valleys. The men went out as
umbrella members. locksmiths or beg

Chance for argo to

much better, but still it is by no
means perfect.
At different times there have been
as high as fifty-two people, mostly
Iodgers, in the department of the city
prison and in the morning when the
officers opened the door the stencil
was enough to knock them down.
The fact of the matter is that a
new Jail seems to be a real necessity
and now that the steel work of such
an institution. can be bought for al
most song it seems to many as
though it would be good business
act to buy it.
The women's department of the city
prison lies west of the bull pen" and
the three cells OF the lock up for the
men, and there is partition between
the two departments. This partition
is so thin that the oaths and drunken
talk of the men Is easily heard by the
women who may be unfortunate
enough to be incarcerated. In fact
there have been times when the
women and the men have actually
carried on conversation through the
walls. ..,..s.. .- -..
AS was stated above there is a va
cant space sufficiently large enough to
accommodate a new city prison, a
part of which, Is used as a storage
room for the street cleaning depart
ment, tools. etc, really too valuable
land for such purpose.

Fargo has an opportunity of secur-
ing new city Jail and those who have
ever taken just a peep into the pres
ent quarters which are used as a city
prison will not hesitate in the least to
state emphatically that such an insti-
tuition is very much needed in this
city.
The Stewart Iron Co. Of Cincinnati
is now the owher of the steel cage
which is in the old county Jail, and
which would cost not less than be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. 1t is believed
that the city could secure this steel
cage at figure that would make 1t
worth while. In fact some say that
the steel cages could be bought for as
low as $500 to 500.
This cage or series of cages would
very well answer the purpose Of jail
for the city and there is a vacant
space in the rear of the present jail
which could easily be utilized for a
new Jail. ~
The present Jail is in the basement
of the city hall. 1t is badly ventilated,
badly lighted and is certainly un-
healthy and this can be seen at a
glance. Some years ago window
was cut in the wall of that part of the
city prison which is known as the
"bullpen," and the ventilation is now

POPE'S BROTHER
Saw PONTIFF

Rome, April 19.--For the first time
since the beginning of the Pope's ILL
ness Angelo Sarto, his brother, was
allowed to see the pontiff today. Pro-
fessor Marchiafava had not permitted
meeting during the critical period of
the pope's illness and insisted he be
present today, as he feared any emo
tion caused by the encounter between
the two brothers would have a bad
effect on the patient.
Both the pontiff and the brother were
overcome with emotion when they met
and the physician would not permit
them to talk long
The rumor was circulated in Rome
soon after the meeting that the pope
suffered from fainting fit as re-
suit, but this was denied at the vati-
can.

ADAMS HOTEL
WAS DESTROYED
FIRE STARTED IN REAR OF THE
HoTEL-LoSS ESTIMATED +.
AT $4,000.

Adams, N. D.. April 19.-The Hotel
Adams, a two story frame structure,
was burned to the ground. The fire
started at about $3.50 O'clock in the
evening. 1t is thought to have been
caused by a smoldering fire in the
kitchen, which got good start before
it was noticed. A number of guests
were in bed, but all escaped and were
able to get their things from the rooms.
o. f. Bookwater, proprietor of the
hotels, was not able to save much of
anything, only few pieces of furni-
ture being taken out of the building.
The loss is estimated at about $4,000.
This is partly covered by insurance.
A strong west wind was blowing
and the Morrison Bros. & Mckay mer-
camille building and the Hagen barn
were damaged slightly by burning en-
bers which fell upon the roofs of the
buildings. These buildings and the
Northwestern telephone Office were
kept wet in order to prevent burning.
A light rain began later in the evening
and probably saved number of other
structures.

Cannot Do Anything to Violate
| Jap Treaty
President and Bryan Hope to
Relieve Treaty

Washington, April t9.--secretary
Bryan, teiegraphed Governor Johnson,
of California, requesting him to with
hold his signature from any anti- alien
land legislation passed by the Cali
fornia Legislature which might violate
the treaties between the United States
and Japan.
The postponement of the California
Legislature Of the alien land bills un-
til next week relieved the tension
slightly though every moment until
the bills are again taken up will be
utilized in the exchange of messages
between Washington and Sacramento
and other Californian points where the
influential officials reside, who may be
able to exert some influence upon the
course of legislation.
The president and Secretary Bryan
made no secret of the fact that they
were precluded from officially inter-
fering, privately addressing them
selves to the individuals to secure an
amelioration of the features of the
pending bills that are offensive to the
Japanese government.
Taking into consideration the prob
ability that the final form of legisla-
ton will apply only to the Chinese
and Japanese, the administration Of
ficials are giving though to the best
means of the meeting of protest by
the Japanese government against the
proposed legislation.

smuggling, according to reports re-

Colorado, arresting also his agents
who were supplying him with the
smuggled goods.
Mr.. Jenner was prominently known
in this city especially in musical cir
cles, his last venture of note being the
production of Little Red Riding Hood,
sixty children being under his direc-
tion in the musical extravaganza. Fol-
lowing his production Mr.. Jenner left

predicament this morning. Some
person made away with the ammuni-

Complicating the situation was the
fact that during the siege of Naco,

States for the relief of General Ojeda
and now Col. Juan Vasquez finds him

Juarez, but with virtually no artillery

predicted, will soon need ammunition
