THE JAPANESE ARE AROUSED
A Toxic Mass Meeting Attended BY
$1,000 Persons Demanded Re.
Venge on China,

Tokio.-The assassination Of Nor
tiaro Abe, director of the political
bureau of the Japanese foreign Of
fee, has infamed the masses and a
dramatic chapter in the history OF
the new Japan was written.
Fifteen thousand persons gathered
in mass meeting in Hibiya Park call
ing for military action against China.
A majority of these marched to the
foreign office and clamored for ad-
mission. They demanded the dispatch
of troops to China to take such meas
ures as were necessary to obtain sat
isfaction for the killing of Japanese
at Marking, or, failing this, the resig.
nation Of the minister OF foreign Rf-
fairs, Baron Nobuaki Maxine.
The speakers denounced the empti-
ness of Japanese diplomacy In con-
nection with California and China.
and insisted that the insult to the
Japanese flag at Marking should be
wiped out.

HUERTA WON'T run
WASHINGTON OFFICIALS BELIEVE
HE WILL NOT TRY FOR
PRESIDENCY.
CLAIM TO HAVE HIS PROMISE
President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
Satisfied That Mexican ProVi-
sionaI President Will Not
Be Candidate.

Washington, D. C.-President Will
ed the attitude that the elimination of
Victoriano Huerta from the presi-
dental race in Mexico is assured and
that any effort on the part of Huerta
to circumvent the constitution by re-
signing in advance of the elections
in favor OF another provisional presi-
dent would be regarded by the Uni
ted States as a breach of faith before
the world.
This was the declaration of admin
istration officials, who stated that oral
assurances had been given Nelson
OShaughnessy, charge d'affaires of
the American embassy, of Huertas
intention not to be a candidate in the
approaching elections.
The United States will construe as
authoritative argument in the second
note of FREDERICK Garboa, Mexican
minister of foreign affairs, who
pointed out that a provisional presi-
dent in Mexico is ineligible to succeed
himself.
Much stress was laid by the officials
upon the withdrawal by Senior Gam
boa in his second note of the original
demand for recognition by the United
States through the exchange of am
bassadors. That the Huerta govern
ment had in effect withdrawn its de-
mand for recognition is now held to
be the case by many Washington Off
Gals, Notwithstanding Senior Gam
boa's declaration in the same note
that he would always stand on the
unavoidable condition which declares
that we are in reality the ad interim
constitutional government of the Mex
lean republic"

A COLD STORAGE CONVENTION.

There is to be a cold storage con- vention held at Chicago in October and it is to be hoped that the repre- sentatives of the business will be able to give the public some information worth while concerning the merits ana demerits of the system.
 Just to show their faith in cold stor- age goods they are to have banquet wholly made up from the cold storage plants of the city, but In making se- lections their representative will prob ably steer clear of ancient eggs ana butter and all other things which lose tone when kept too long, whatever the temperature.
 The people are becoming more ana more prejudiced against cold storage because it is operating to keep up nrices and to fill the market with foed that is not fresh, The butter in cold storage now is ten million pounds in excess of the reserved amount last year: and there are a quarter or million more cases of eggs and the prices are higher this year than last, at the same date.
 It is apparent that something must be done in this country to protect the people from the rapacity of the every day specuator.

LOOKING AFTER CROOKS.

There IS no questioning the aver ment that in this country too much freedom is allowed in the public solici- tatiOn Of funds for charitable purposes; and there Is no doubt hundreds of thousands Of dollars are taken from the people every year in this way.
 Chicago finds that the collections for charity in that city amount to thir- teen millions a year: and now it is proposed to know why. whence where and how these funds are collected and distributed. so that it may be known where the reliable and deserving or ganixations engaged in this work are located.
 All the societies through which char ities are dispensed are to be investi- gated. first with the object of requir- ing an official O. K. if any organiza- tlon Is successful to solicit funds in the name of charity. Everybody is to be invited to give evidence to learn if fewer or more societies are needed, what it costs to support the poor, and Co guard against the overspending of money thus raised or the turning of it into channels for which it was never intended.
 This should prove a profitable work and result in the saving of a consid- erable sum. as well as decrease the number of imposters who are con stantly deceiving and robbing the peo- pIe.
