NIPP0NS AT NANKING
SAID TO HAVE BEEN
MURDERED BY FEDERALS

Especial cable to the Nippu JILL
TOXIC, Japan, Sept. 5-With the
entire nation aroused to fighting
pitch over the slaughter of several
Japanese residents of Marking, China,
by President Yuan Shih-Kai's troops
shortly after they had driven the reb-
els from the city and taken posses
sion OF it, and with the populace and
demanding immediate ac-
tion on the part Of the government,
II has been learned that the Japanese
government has already taken steps
to sever Japans friendly relations
with China, and 1t is believed that,
as soon as this Is completed and the
Japanese consuls and representatives
In China are called home, Japan will
issue a declaration of war.
It has been further learned that the
government is in communication with
military and naval heads, that armies
are being massed and that battle
ships, cruisers and gunboats are now
ready to sail at a moments notice.
The Japanese government was first
Informed of the death of the Japa-
nese by the consul in Nanking, who
reported that, after the federal troops
had driven the rebels from that city,
they turned their attention to pillag-
ing the city, numbering many of the
inhabitants and captured rebels, and
committing many other atrocities.
During the period of the federals' dis
regard for the unwritten rules of war,
several Japanese residents of the city
were said to have been murdered by
the troops of President Yuan Shih-
Kai. The discovery of the murder of
the Japanese subjects led the Japa-
nese consul at Marking Immediately
10 infc-m his government, with the
result that the Japanese, populace
took the matter up and demanded ac-
tion by the government. Newspapers
at Toxic and other larger cities, were
loud in the denunciation of President
Yuan Shih-Kai and his associates, and
were foremost in demanding that the
Japanese government act at once.
News to this effect has been receiv-
ed by the Japanese newspapers of
Honolulu through their special repre-
sentative in Toxic. The foregoing ca
BILE was received by the Nippu Jill
at one o'clock this morning. and is
the first to be received containing the
information that the Japanese govern
ment has intentions of declaring war
against China. The Nippu Jill issued
extras this morning and large crowds
gathered before the bulletins which
were posted in front of the Office. The
cablegram does not state that the
Japanese government will declare
war, but the fact that she is said to
be massing her armies and navy is
taken to believe that she intends some
drastic action.

MAYOR FERN
AS JURIST
BIG SUCCESS
Chief Executive, Portia-Iike.
Makes Ruling Which Is Car
ried Out to the Letter

Mayor Joseph ]. Fern sat in his
Office with his feet on the window sill
this morning slowly destroying a
cigar and smiling. He was thinking
Of the high court of justice he had
held in the middle of night, when a
burglar was brought sulking into his
bed chamber to receive judgment.
Taken altogether, last night was a
rather trying one for His Honor, a
night in which burglar figured, the
screams of child, and the importun-
ing of sons, who had made the intrud-
er captive.
1t was quite an exciting night. But
the mayor smiled this morning be-
cause he had handled the situations
masterfully. 1t takes something of
genius to be able to sit up in bed,
and with hardly any notice convene
high court and pass judgment on a
culprit, who might be a very deserv-
ing or a very undeserving sort of a
man. But the mayor did it, and what
it more to his credit, he dressed him.
self in the figurative garb of Portia
to insist that justice be tempered
with mercy.
Great was the excitement in the
House of the Mayor last night, and
great Is the households admiration
for the wisdom Of His Honor, now
they can view the events of the night
retrospectively. Sleep hung over the
House Of the Mayor, when along about
the witching hour. the stealthy tread
of an intruder was heard by Mr..
Ferns little daughter A scream from
her pierced the stiffness of the house.
But the mayor snored on.
Again the little girl screamed and
this time she awoke young Joe Fern,
who saw the form of a man near the
window. He jumped from his couch
and started toward the figure, but as.
he did so the latter turned and fed.
The intruder circled about the house,
and before Joe had returned to his
couch, he could see the burglar max
ing toward the dwelling again. So
the youth slipped into the mayors
room and attempted to awake him.
but he failed, just as alarm clocks
and supervisor meetings have. and
there was nothing left for him to do
but to search out his other brother.
The boys crouched near the win

entered and waited They could see
