without a struggle. Dropping her mar

ting sleeves of her dress, she started
after the man who stole her pocket

Harvey proved TO be the unlucky
man, and in another moment he was
staggering and slipping under a shower

Washington. May 11.-With the con-
be taken to bring the military estab-
lishment up to the highest degree of
preparedness. the joint Army and
Navy Board, Of which Admiral Dewey
is president. has recommended that a
large portion of the Atlantic fleet be
sent to the Pacific Ocean. that the work
ON the Hawaiian defences be expedited
and that the garrisons along the Cali
fornia coast be strengthened.
These recommendations have been
retaries of War and Navy. but the
President has decided that there shall
be no movement Of troops or battle
ships which could he construed as hav-
ing any bearing on the California-Jap-
anese situation. President Wilson is
convinced that there is no reason for
extraordinary steps, which. he fears,
would irritate Japan. and temporarily,
at least. he is disposed to place caution
before activities looking to prepared
ness"
Secretary Daniels declined to say to-
day whether he had concurred In the
view of the joint board that additional
warships should be sent to the Pacific.
He added that he had made no recon-
mendation TO President Wilson. The
supposition is that Secretaries Daniels
and Garrison simply presented the rec
concentrations Of the joint board to
President Wilson. as il is known that
both are averse to offering any sugges-
ton that the United States should
make unusual preparations for
possible emergency. Secretary Daniels
left here tonight for Washington, S. c.,

tender him reception on Monday in

Bryan declines TO give any hint as to
when this governments formal reply to
Japan's protest against the Webb
Bloodgood anti-alien land act will be
submitted TO Ambassador Chinda.
While the japanese Foreign Office is
insisting on prompt reply, II is the in
tention of the administration to take as
much time as may be proper before
making a declaration of the attitude Of
the United States toward the objec-
tionable legislation.
1t has been suggested to Secretary
Bryan that some emergency might re-
quire that the reply be delivered sooner
than intended, but he would not am
plify his statement. He refuses to give
any intimation as to the date when he
expects 10 submit the reply, and would
not say that he was waiting for Gov
ernor Johnson to sign the bill before
taking action.
Secretary Bryan conferred with the
President for more than two hours to-
day. but gave an intimation at Its close
that he had discussed tho Mexican sit
uation, especially with respect TO GER
tain reports regarding Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson. He declined alb
solutely to discuss the California-Jap-
anese question.
Arizona's new alien land law Ia not
regarded here as seriously complicat-
ing the negotiations with Japan be-
cause the act does not contain the
same direct bar against japanese as
the California act.
II IS expected, however. that because
Of It's adverse effect upon Mexican land
owners in Arizona a protest Will be
forthcoming from the Mexican govern
ment. even I'm view Of the rather irreg-
ular status Of the diplomatic relations

The best informed official circles
here have reason TO believe that the

military authorities are anxious TO
force the issue as quickly as possible

would be much more effective il exc

The japanese plan Of operations, ac-

London. Nay IA bloody battle in
the Garrick Theatre this afternoon, in
which one man was seriously injured
and several others hurt, has wrought
complete change in the strategical
situation Of the war between the Amer
lean producer J. Salter Hansen and
the English actor Arthur Bourchier
over the De Rothschild play "Cresus."
Tonight Mr. Bourchier is in complete
physical as well as legal possession Of
the theatre. while Mr.. Hansen. after
being chased by detectives in a taxi.
was locked up in the Vine street po-
lice station on a warrant sworn out
by Mr.. Bourchier charging him with
making threats against Mr.. Bourchier's
life. Mr.. Hansen will be unable to get
out before Monday at the earliest.
The injunction Mr.. Hansen had OBJ
tained was vacated to-day, and Mr..
Bourchier's forces thereupon threw Mr..
Hansen's men out bodily into Charing
Cross Road. The stone steps OF the
theatre were covered with blood and
were surrounded by n curious crowd,
while a mass OF private detectives,
standing amid the ruins OF the box
office, peered out Of the tightly shut
glass doors. A bill announcing the pro-
duction OF "Crnsus" under Mr. Bour-
chler's management on May y the
date previously advertised soon re-
nlaced Mr.. Hansen's posters In front
Of the theatre.
Mr.. Bourchier, hot tempered and
angry. made threats to knock down

hopped spryly into taxicab and drove
away.
