PROSECUTION MAY

Evidence for State in Dyna-
mite Conspiracy Action
=. May be Concluded.

Boston, May 2s.-When the Cyna-
mite conspiracy trial was resumed in
the superior court today, the prosecut-
ing attorneys hoped to conclude the
presentation of their evidence by the
close of today's session. Judge Crosby
announced that he will extend the
proceedings beyond the usual hour Of
adjournment, if necessary to expedite
matters.
Efforts of the prosecution continued
to center about the attempt to show
that President William NJ. Wood Of he
American Woolen company, Frederick
NJ. Wood, a Boston dye manufacturer,
and Dennis ]. Collins. a Cambridge
dog fanciner. conspired with John j.
Breen, the Lawrence undertaken, and
Ernest w. Pitman. an Andover con-
tractor, to prejudice the public opin-
ion against the mill operatives in the
Lawrence textile strike Of 1912 by hid
ing dynamite on the premises.

San Francisco, May 28.-"Justice
for the Japanese in the United States
can only be attained by granting them
citizenship rights"
That Is the burden Of the message
brought to the United States from
Japan by two Of the leading men Of
that nation-Soroku Ebara and A.
Hattori-who H arrived here last week
for a four months tour Of the United
States.
Ebara is head Of the japanese con-
stitutional party and president Of the
Japan peace society. Hattori head
Of the nationalist party and q former
student in one Of Woodrow Wilson's
classes at Princeton university.
"If the japanese are permitted to
become citizens of the United States
they will be as loyal as your native
born,' said Hattori. $50 loyal would
they be that in case of conflict be-
tween the United States and Japan
your newly acquired citizens from
the far east would be the first to fight
for the country Of their adoption"
In spite Of the fact that japanese
as American citizens would be the
first to fight Japan. both Hattori and
Ebara are exceedingly anxious that
citizenship be granted their fellow
countrymen who come here.

WILSON'S Stand
Still UNKNOWN
Whether He Will Sign Sun
dry Civil Bill Open Ques-
tion-urge Vetoing it.

Washington, May 2s.-Whether
President Wilson will sign or veto the
sundry civil bill with it's clause ex-
empting labor unions and farmers or
ganizations from prosecution under
certain conditions set aside for the op-
Grafton of the antitrust laws, is still
an open question.
The president today sent for Sem
ator Martin Of Virginia and Repre-
chairmen of the two congressional
committees on appropriations and
talked at length With them about the
bill. At the conclusion of the confer
ence White House officials were SILENT
Senator Martin in response to ques-
ton said he had no intimation that
the bill would be vetoed and Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald was not inclined
to discuss the subject at all.
The president was informed that the
particular thing that was holding up
the bill in conference was a dispute
as to an appropriation for managers
supervising national soldiers home
His visitors said they expected to
reach an agreement by the end of the
week.

toward the much talked-of exemption
clause. Pressure has been strong
from many sides urging him to veto
the bill on the ground that 1t sets up
precedent for class legislation. which
objection Mr.. Taft, cited in disApprov-
Ing the measure on March 1 last.
Some of Mr.. Wilson's intimate
friends and advisers are urging him
ID veto the bill, but such course. 1t
is realized. means possible "open-.
ing up Of the appropriation bill when
1t is reconsidered In congress, con-
tingency which the democratic leaders
sought to avoid when they introduced
the measure In identicaIly the same
form in which 1t passed at the last
session. The president has been In
formed that II he objects to attach
ing legislation to an appropriation
bill. he could accompany his signature
with a memorandum OF protest on
that point. He has likewise been told
that the exception clause would not
affect. the substantive law and that
prosecutions of any violations Of the
law by labor unions or by farmers or
ganization could stiIl be accomplished
through other friends at the disposal
Of the department OF Justice.
On the other hand the protest
against so-called class legislation has
been given much thought. &.

position where they would be loyal
to the United States. Ever since the
days Of the Samurai the children of
Japan have been taught to be loyal
to the government at all times and in
spite Of everything.
This is the old policy Of japan.
Another and greater policy has sue
ceeded 1t, and strange to say the
first lesson was given when Admiral
Perry won our hearts sixty years ago.
This policy favored by each man IN
this party and all Of the educated and
enlightened men in the empire is that
worldwide patriotism must be es-
tablished in Japan.
1--WE are now teaching our boys and
young men to become patriots of the
world, We are now beginning to
teach them that when they seek other
countries they must adapt themselves
to the conditions of that country and
do everything possible to- merit the
right to become useful and loyal citi-
zens of their adopted. country"
Ebara, who is 72 years old, is called
Japan's grand old man. He is one OF
the most eminent Christians In the
nation. He commanded regiment IN
the revolution in 1858. His life work
is the teaching Of boys. although ne
was the first president Of the japan
peace society and has been leader
in church and Temperance work.
lEbara and Hattori have come te

write, an. elaborate report for the con-
alteration Of the government, and will
recommend measures to be taken tc
soften the feeling against the Japa-
nese in this country.

MAY QUIT OUTLOOK

New York. May 2s.-Rumors to the
effect that Theodore Roosevelt has
had difference with the publishers OF
the Outlook, which may lead to his
severing his connection with the pub
lication. could not be verified.
Officers of the Outlook company re-
fused to talk of the matter, and Mr.
Roosevelt is in Michigan promoting
editor there. 1t was reported that Mr..
Roosevelt feels himself entitled to
greater compensation than he has
been receiving. but the publishers can
not see their way to granting 1t.
There were also rumors that Mr..
Roosevelt is considering offers for his
services from at least two other week
ly publications in New York.

The question involving the custom

witness, who said his first experience

Colonel Roosevelt followed the pre-

1t is evident that Newett, the de.

ruddy countenance hides this from all

Roosevelt maintained much the
same attitude as yesterday; toying re-

within the last few months the
amount Of suggestive. sensual dancing

owing to the fact that dancing therein
