STORY WAS A FAKE.
Island Kingdom Has no Idea of Clash
With United States Even Should
Alien Land Bill Pass.

Washington, April %. - Viscount
Chinda, Japanese ambassador
through his secretary, Okabe, today
said emphatically:
Japan will not declare war upon
the United States even though Cali
fornia passes an alien land law, aim
ed exclusively at the Japanese.
The story emanating from New
York TO the effect that the ambassa-
dor had warned President Wilson
thai the Japs could not be restrained
is branded as "false alarm"
The ambassador regrets greatly
that such a story should be circulat-
ed or that there should be any war
scare in this country.
"The better element Of Japan" he
declares, care working with might
and main to quiet the revolutionary
talk of the lower classes. That these
efforts will be successful is the con-
fident belief of the ambassador.
Viscount Chinda has not been at the
White House for nearly week and
he does Nc. anticipate Going there
at once unless there are unforeseen
DEVELOPMENTS in the Californian-Jap-
anese situation. He will, however,
visit Secretary of State Bryan, to-
morrow on the usual diplomatic CALL
ing day.
The japanese embassy has received
no definite word from the home gov
eminent as to the action in case the
alien land law passes with merely
Japanese restrictions but it is said To-
day that Japan is not contemplating
any course in advance Of the passage
of the bill.

Favorable.

Richmond, April Ex-Governor Mann
continues to make steady progress
from the effects of his operation for

who has not left her husbands side
since the operation.
Although there was a steady stream
of callers at the hospital all day yes
terdav to leave cards and to express
their sympathy with Mrs. Mann, no
visitors were allowed to see the Gov
ernor. Of course, his son William
Hodges Mann, Jr., enjoys. free run of
the sick room. Being forbidden the
presence of the executive, many
friends sent in substantial tokens of
their regard in the shape of flowers,
50 that THE governors iron bed by
niqhtfall was surrounded by walls of
blossoms.
Among the first to call at the hos
initial in the morning was the Lieuten-
ant Govern, J. Taylor Ellyson. His

against thc Turks declared King
Nichols of Montenegro in the midst
of an q. lost delirious popular de-

Scuaari was taken after long
siege. eliminating in two days of the
most desperate fighting of modern
times. The surrender of Essad Pa

nounced after two hours Of hand-:o-
hand fighting with bayonetS during
which both sides lost heavily.
Approximately 1000 MoEtenegrns
fell in the lasr assault on Scutari,
and 5000 Turks we're killed. The
victors took 10000 prisoners.
Shortly after the formal surren-

Negro is Charged With Smuggling
on Several Occasions and Violation
of White Slave Laws.

l
negro pugilist, was, fined $1,000 by
Judge Carpenter in the United States
District Court today after charges
of smuggling a two-thousand dollar
necklace had been dropped and the
heavy weight had pleaded non con-
tenders to the charges of concealing
from federal officials the fact What he
had the jewelry in his possession.
The necklace was declared forfeited to
the government, and probably will be
sold at auction.
Chicago, April 23.-John Arthur
(Jack) Johnson, colored puglist, who
reached the zenith of his fame when
he defeated James J. Jeffries at Re-
no on July 4, 1910, went on trial be-
fore. Federal Judge Carpenter today,
facing the possibility of fifty years.
Imprisonment and fines totaling $780,

Johnson, under indictment for ten
separate oenses, went to trial first on
the charge that he struggled $780,
900 diamond necklace into America
to please his wife, Eta Duryea, d
white woman. At the conclusion Of
This trial, he will on May answer to
nine charges of violating the Mann
white slave act by transporting an
eighteen-ycar-old-wlrite girl through
several states on the vaudeville tours
that neted him thousands of dollars.
Johnson's first white wife was Eta
Duryea, the divorced wife of wealthy
Long Island cubman and horseman.
For her, it alleged, he Struggled
the necklace from Paris. Though she
was showered with gifts, THE unhappy
woman found herself completely os-
tracized by her own race and by that
of her black husband. There were
charges by the white girls mother
that Johnosn's kindness at first later
turned to brutality. And then one
night the woman murmured little
prayer for forgiveness and shot her
self through the brain.

old daughter of Mrs. Cameron Falcon
EFT, of Minneapolis, that the mother
appealed to the Federal officials to
save this young white girl from the
"hypnotic influence" of the pugilist.
The mothers efforts and the efforts
of the entire legal machinery of the
State of Illinois bore no fruit, how
ever, and Jack Johnson, laughing at
the girls mother, made her his second
white wife. Inquiry into Johnson's
relations with the Cameron girl, fol-
lowing a marriage attended by CHAR
acteristic showiness, revealed the fact
that scores of pretty white girls hard
ly out of their teens, had been habl-
tues of the fighters training quarters,
and that Lucille Cameron was only
one of many of her race who had been
drawn to the black fighter.
