Develop Any Flaws That
May Exist

Mayor Marx declares that the pur-
chase clause OF his proposed street
railway ordinance will! be the strong
feature. but the mayor was unable
Friday morning, 10 tell just what the
clause provides. The mayor said he
had not been able as yet 70 study the
completed draft Of the ordinance, but
that he would spend the greater part
Of Saturday and Mondoy going over
the measure with the trainers. Attor-
neys Frazer and Lucking.
How do you intend to provide for
the purchase of the d. u. r. system
In your ordinance?" the mayor was
asked
"Oh. we can condemn the property"
replied the mayor.
But 1t IL said by some legal ex.
perts that the present condemnation
act is not broad and full enough for
that purpose"
Then We can get the legislature to
pass a new one" declared the mayor.
Does the ordinance provide only
for the purchase Of the property
through condemnation proceedings?
The mayor shook his head and
said: THAT is a technical matter for
the legal experts to decide. I am not
saying what the ordinance contains
until 1t Is given ont next Tuesday"
Asked why he had not appointed
his street railway commission as soon
as the circuit court passed on the m,i.
nicipal ownership amendment and al
lowed the commission to proceed with
all negotiations with the D. U. r.,
the mayor replied that he thought II
best to give the commission flying

before the commission organized.

mayor. mr. Dodge will return from

SHUT OUT BY JAPAN.
Germany Was Excluded From Pro-
posed Triple Alliance.

London, Aug. 26.-The revelations
that the diplomatic negotiations which
finally resulted in the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, first contemplated an Anglo
German-Japanese triple alliance and
that Germany was largely instru-
mental in starting them but was shut
out by Japan, is made in the diary of
the late Count Tadasu Hayashi, for
mer Japanese ambassador to Great
Britain and twice foreign minister,
part of WHICH has just come to light.
The excerpts whose authenticity is
not questioned are expected to have a
tremendous influence in European
politics as showing the desire of the
British government for an alliance
with Germany.
The Jiji Shimpo of Toxic, printed
portions of the Hayashi diary, but the
Japanese government prohibited
further publication and the censor
suppressed telegrams sent by foreign
correspondents in Japan reporting de-
tails The diary showed that the Brit
ish government under the premier
ship of the late marquis of Salisbury
was in favor of the inclusion of Ger
many but that Japan opposed it.
Count Hayashi, in order to bring
about the Anglo-Japanese alliance
hinted that Japan was ready to ally
herself with Russia, if Great Britain
was unwilling.

charge d d'affaires of the German en-
bassy in London, according to the
diary made several visits to Count
Hayashi during the spring of 1901.

COUNTERFEIT TENS.
Two Samples of Bogus Bills Are in
Circulation.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Two coun-
terfeit SO national bank notes have
made their appearance and the secret
service force of the government is hot
seeking to increase the volume of the
paper currency. One bill is accred-
tied to the first National bank of Chi
cago and the other purports to have
been issued by the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank of Los Angeles Cal. The
treasury department in a statement
issued today says:
'The figures in the bank and treas
ury numbers are poorly formed and
out of alignment. The lathe work is
very good. The back of the bills is d
darker shade of green than the genI-
inc. The paper feels thick and
EarSh.'
The bills, the secret service officials
say, are formed of two pieces of pa
Per, between which silk threads are
distributed.

FUEL CASES CALLED.
The Same That Were Connected With
McNab's Resignation.

San Francisco, Aug. 26.-The West
ern Fuel cases in which are involved
eight officers, directors and en-
ployees of the Western Fuel company
charged with conspiracy to ddfraud
the government through manipulating
eights, were called in the United
states district court before Judge
Maurice Dooling today. These are the
cases that came into prominence with
the Diggs-Caminetti white slave cases
when former District Attorney John l..
McNab resigned and declared he was
being hampered by the department of
Justice. He declared the departm ent
had ordered him to postpone both the
Western Fuel cases and the Diggs-
Caminetti cases.
The defendants who appeared are
John L. Howard, president Western
Fuel company; James B. Smith, vica
president, general manager and direc-
ter; Joseph L. Schmitt, treasurer and
director; Robert Bruce, director; Sgd
superintendent; Edward ]. Smith,
weigher, and Edward H. Mayors,
Weigher.
The indictments followed a minute
and lengthy investigation of the COM
Papy's books and affairs and they
we're returned against the eight men
largely upon testimony presented be-
fore a federal grand jury by a former
employee of the company: Edwin
portant witnesses for the government.
The charges in the cases are felonies
and they are punishable by imprison
ment, for a period not to exceed two
years or by fine of $4,000 or both.
The defendants have been held under
bonds of $4,000 provided by a surety
company.
The case was set over by Judge
DColing until Monday, October 13.
The reason given was that special
counsel for the government, Theodore
Roche and Maths Sullivan, are now
busy with the Caminetti white slavery
trial.

Huerta. In view of the rejection of
those suggestions the United States has
not felt compelled to emphasize it's
ideas by arms, but. having obtained
the moral support of the civilized
world, the American government has
decided to pursue policy of absolute
non interference.
Only Two Ways.
From the first it has realized that
only two alternatives of policy were
before it-friendly mediation or armed
intervention. The one has failed and
the other in the opinion of administra-
ton officials is not called for by any
existing emergency. The United
States therefore will remain aloof hop
ing moral suasion eventually will pre-
vail. Arms will be denied all warning
factions. Americans will be assisted to
leave all trouble zones and the United
States will patiently await the estab-
hshment of a secure, stable and con-
stitutional government before extend
