Alderman Sorrells objected not be cause he did not believe the council should honor the memory of the former worthy mayor, but because the council had no legal authority tl make such appropriation. He favor. ed a subscription list among the aid. ermen and Mayor Bloom headed tht list with $5. The balance of the money will be donated by the ald- ermen individually. The motion was then withdrawn.
 Alderman Wells resolution provid- ing that new system of accounting be formulated in the city Collector s office, was adopted. The new sys- tenn will be prepared by the Mayor city clerk and the finance and ordi- nance committees.

Examining physicians decided an operation was necessary to save his sight.

 JAPAN ITS REPLY Secretary Bryan's Answer
 Every Bit as Frank as Was Protest. WILSON EXPLAINS TT
 Says Racial Tribe is at Bottom of the Whole Affair-OutcOme
 Uncertain.
WILSON EXPLAINS TT

Washington, May 19.-Tne reply of the United States to the Japanese nrotests against the enactment of the California alien land law was handed 10 Viscount Chinda, the Japanese ambassador, by Secretary Bryan here tonight. At the same time a copy or the reply was cabled to Tokio for per sonal presentation to the Mikados government by the American charge de affairs.
 owing to the fact that Japan flatly refused to make public the text of her original protest against the enforce ment of the bill government officials i here tonight said that the United States could not publish the text of Ethe American reply wLich is couched i in terms which correspond to the &protests in such manner that the Halter could be deduced from the for 1 mer. It is understood, however, that 1.-the Bryan reply is every bit as frank as was the protest and that it out l Hines a United States position in no uncertain way.
 Japan is informed that this govern ment is bound by the action of the tCalifornia legislature but the adminis- [tration has done and will continue to do everything in it's power to pre- |vent the lleast breach in the friendly |relations between the two govern ments. A new treaty is hinted at in the reply and it is further stated that the enforcement of the law can prob ably be deferred until afternegotia- tions for this new treaty are well un- der way.
 This is the last step of this govern ment with respect to the Japanese sit uation. The next move will come from Tokio and government officials Tonight said it could not be forecast ed with any degree of certainty, but
 governor JOhnSOn'S actions in signing the bill today would not bring the sit uation to crisis.
 President Wilson indicated to call ers today that he believed the racial tribe of Japanese to be at the bottom Of the whole matter; that the theory is that Americans don't consider the Drlentals on the same level with Themselves, has produced hot resent ment with Japan, which has found an outlet in the present matter. Tho
 president also believed that the Ports
 mouth conference, suggested by and carried on under eX-President Roose- Felt has a great deal to do with the present unrest because the Japanese
 feel that they did not get all that was coming to them by the terms of the conference.

years ago. 1t is the intention to rush

this fall. There is at the present time
a large amount Of material on hand

stood that Contractor Dinnie has made
arrangements sc that he can work
two crews, one days and the other
nights. The electric light company
has stated that they a arrange lights
SO that it will be as light during the
night as it is during the time when
the sun is shining. 1t is hoped that
the main building will be ready by

Ignite EXPERIMENTS.

T%Wenty.One Chicago Il Northwest
ern locomotives on runs west into
South Dakota have been fitted with
spark arresters, furnished by the Am
erican Locomotive company, designed
for engines burning Ignite coal, and
the Burlington is also experimenting
on its western end. The Ignite coal
deposits Of North Dakota and the
northwestern part of South Dakota
will be available for railroad fuel, If
it is found that it can p%rotitably be
used. Railroad coal in the western
sections Of these states and in west
ern Nebraska, Wyoming and Colora-
do ranges from 50 to Sc a ton, while
Ignite can be bought at this time, at,
$l.75 a ton. The experiments under
taken by the roads are, therefore,
highly important to both North and
South Dakota.
S. E. Flagg. engineer OF the Bureau
Of Mines at Pittsburgh, is chairman
Of a committee named by the Inter.
national Railway Fuel association to
investigate Ignite fuel and report at
the annual convention to be held in
Chicago in. May. The report of Mr..
Flagg, together with the results Of
railroad eXperiI. ent, that has been
started, will prove valuable as deter.
mining the practicability of the lig-
mite deposits for railroad purposes.
The Bureau of Mines has found by
experiment that Ignite compares in
heat value with Iowa bituminous coal
in about the proportion OF 9 to II, and
the principal objection to Ignite is
that if not used soon after mining it
crumbles. This has been partly over
come, the report Of the Bureau OF
Mines says, by %briquetting.

There is a revelation of the spirit
which has made him a power through
the eighteen congresses in the clos
ing sentences with which he left
Washington.

bet III be dead said he. 81 still will
be in politics as a private citizen
then as an afterthought, without per
sonal ambitions
Probably no mar in public life in a
Gentry has been more misrepresent-
ed than Mr.. Cannon. The public pic
turc is that of an ogre. On the con-
trary, he is an unusually kind man.
His conversation is supposed to be
interlarded with profanity. He does
not wear more than other men who
are supposed not to swear at all. He
is conceived as the agent of lobbyists.
No one in all the sc years of his ser
vice in congress has ever charged him
definitely with a single corrupt act.
Uncle Joe has faults. But the chief
of them are not profanity, or rough
ness of manner, or corruption. 1t is
a deep-rooted aversion to change. The
established order has always been
Mr.. C%annon's nearest approach to per
lection.
AS speaker he manifested a convic-
ton clear to his mind since his youth,
that organization-closely knit, un

he carried this conviction too far is
not to be gainssid. Yet it is signifi,

templating a return, part way, at
least, to the "Czarism' Of the Can.

1t is not for any single newspaper
or. for any contemporary to pass judg'
ment on Joseph G. Cannon. This is
intended only a., a recognition that he
served his country capaDiy and loyal,
ly and that he %retires, apparently
from public life with a spirit which
many younger men might we'll envy.

FALL OF THE HOUSE OF HAW.
s't%g 1HORNE.

Minneapolis Journal: The son OF
Nathaniel Hawthorne convicted of
%swindling! The news is something
to shock Americans. Nathaniel Haw-
thorne occupies a shrine in the hearts
Of his 'countrymen. His only son has
shared it.. He was accepted in liter.
allure more on account of his father
than on his own merits. Julian Haw.
thorne's education was that of an en-
gineer. He played with literature and
journalism, apparently because it was
expected of him.
But he made his money at last out
of a series of advertising articles
which deceived the public because of
the apparent candor and because OF
the name attached. The word, "Haw-
thorne' went further than any other
statement in the advertisements to
give them weight with the public. In
addition, the historic name of Josiah
Quincy assisted. With these names
and some holes in the ground called
mines, Hawthorne and his company
were able to obtain through the mails
more than six hundred thousand dol
lars before the government stepped
in and prosecuted the promoters.
What became of the money? The
evidence showed that it was not a
gross swindle, but one in which the
promoters themselves were in part
self-deceived. They put their win.
nings only partly in their own peck
cts. Much went into development

the ground that he had in%nocently al.
lowed his name to be used, and that
he had shown good faith by putting
his own money into the venture.

A FAR.REAcH,NG QUESTION.

The agitation started at Chicago
over the question of a minimum wage
for women has been attracting atten-
ton throughout the country. In a
number of states, movements of the
same character have been initiated.
The newspapers have everywhere de
voted ample space and great prom
inence to the proceedings of the ILL
nois senate investigating committee.
A certain amount OF criticism has
been passed upon the attitude of
Lieut.. Gov. O'Hara and the commit
tee, and upon the proposals which
they apparently have in contempla.
ton; and some Of these criticisms
have been very much to the point. 1t
remains to be seen whether, in the
other states which seem ready to fol-
low in the footsteps of Illinois, the
question at issue will be taken up in
a manner more appropriate to it's i'm.
portance and difficulty.
The Illinois committee does not ap.
pear to have the faintest realization
of the fact that any in%terposition in
this matter must take into account the
whole situation of society, and must
reckon consequences other than those
which Immediately affect the comfort
of the particular girls whom it is de.
sired to place in a better position.

Julius Caesar was assassinated when
