JAPAN VERGES 0N
 SPLIT WITH U. s
Dangerous Situation Is Re vealed by Publication of
 Correspondence.
CALIFORNIA IS CAUSE
Japan Brushes Aside Bryan'> SuggeS- ti0n That Courts Offer Remedy for Alien Land Law. and Stand on
 Protest Measure is Obnoxious.

Washington June 25~ Brushing aside Secretary Bryan's contention that the California alien land law is not a treaty violalion his suggestion ot the courts as remedy and hls argument that the land law is the result of economic and not radical ccnteltions, Japan stands firmly on her protest that the law is a treaty violation, discriminatory and obnoX- iCus to the Japanese nation and peo- pie, and puts the remedy up to the United States.
 The situation revealed in the cor respondence between the United States and Japan, given out by the state department today, is apparent ly more grave than the public has been led to believe from recent statements of administration officials
 Japan Awaits On |. $.
 The correspondence makes it clear that all attempts to solve the prob- lem through diplomatic negotiations have failed, and Japan makes it en- phatically plain that the next move is ur to the United States.
 The publication of the correspond ence at this time was forced by the Japanese ministry. which will have to face the national diet on the sub ject. While in official circles it is not believed that the question will result in an open breach between the United States and Japan, it is ac- knowledged that the situation is full Of danger and that a crisis may be precipitated at any time.
 When the United States annexed Hawaii Japan entered protest which has never been withdrawn, preliminary to the war with Russia, long series o. protests from Japan were on file in the Russian foreign office, and when the mikado struck it was with unexpected swiftness.

DOG FAITHFUL TO THE END.
Fatally Poisoned, He Delivers 8 Note
 to His Mistress.

Greeley, Col, June 25.-Dragging himself into the house with a note for his mistress, Mrs. John F. Redman, Col. Burch, thoroughbred St. Charles spaniel, looked pitifully up into her face, sank in a heap on the floor and died today from poison that had been fed to him in some myster- ious manner. The note was from MT. Redman, clerk of the county court, and the message related to home af- fairs.
 Col. Bunch was taught to carry notes in his collar when he was a puppy. and all that was necessary for either his master or mistress to do to get a note delivered was to slip 1t under his collar and tell him to go.
 Col. Bunch never disappointed his owners and when he was given what was his final message to deliver took moro than an hour to traverse the seven blocks from the court-houss to the Redmau home. I

FORT SMITH FIRE
 DOES GREAT DAMAGE
Casket Company's Plant and Five Houses Burn-LOss Estimated at
 $2O,0OO With No Insurance.

Fort Smith, June 25.---Fire of an un- known origin early this morning de- stroyed the Fort Smith Casket com pany South Tenth and c streets, four houses belonging to O'Shea & Hinch and one house owned by c. w. L. Ar mOur
 The casket company building was heavily stocked with machinery and the estimated loss of that plant is $20,000 with no insurance.
 The houses were small frame build ings and the loss is not thought to be heavy. Two of the houses belonging to Hinch were occupied by D. Hamil- ton and C. Bollin, the other vacant. The house owned by c. w. L. Armour was occupied by Charles Miller, a negro.
 The fire was discovered St 1 :35 this morning by James Hunter a negro living in the house with Miller, adjoin- ing the casket company. It had start ed in the middle of the casket fac tory, a large frame building and had made considerable headway when dis covered.
 The fire made thrilling scene with six frame buildings in one block ablaze. and with three companies fighting desperately to check the flames and prevent the destruction of other nearby manufacturing plants and residences. 1 sf

Extended Credits Causes Largest Failure of it's Kind
 in History of Country.
ACCOMPANIES ASSETS ARE $40, 900, 600
Shifting of Trade in New York Factor in Financial Difficulty of Ciaflin Enterprises, Which Include
 Numker of Companies.

New York, June 23-The vas' C.aflin dry gooas enterprise collaps e(, today with the appointment oi receivers for the wholesale house o the H. B. Claflin company and the announcement that nearly thirty re 1sil stores throughout the country would be closed. The liabilities oi the firm are estimated at $33, ,O00,- 900 and the assets at more than $40,- 100000. OvereXtended credits caused the failure, the largest Of it's kind ill the history of the country.
 Though affiliated with the bank 1upt firm throughout stock control the United Dry Goods companies and the Associated Merchants company together with their stores in New York and elsewhere, were not in- yolved in the failure. 1t was stated that their financial position is strong
 For the retail stores in the Claflin string receivers will be named and they will remain closed pending an adjustment of the parent company $ tangled affairs.
 Two eedings-frienly and un- griendly-threw the firm into bank rUptcy and two receivers were named under bonds of $50O.000 each,
 The Claflin company controls or is affiliated with thirty retails stores throughout the United States and il was the endorsement of their paper Eeld by mere than 5000 banks here and in interior cities that caused the crash.
 The United Dry Goods companies and the Associated Merchants com paay, though affiliated with the Claf- lir company through stock control were in no way involved in the fail ure. Their chains of stores, it was stated in the financial district, will remain intact. Hope is expressed llsc that the Claflin retail enterprise will be saved.
 Plan Re-Organizati0n.
 Unless blocked by creditors re- organization of the failed firm is con- templated, according to statement issued by John Claflin, the president: The unprecedented shifting of trade centers in New York has caus- ed great loss of many interests. In the case of the H. B. Claflin company the uptown movement of business has seriously curtailed our wholesale profits and has compelled us to rely mainly on the profits from financing retail stores throughout the country Their rapidly expanding busiHess has occasioned large capital require ments, which we have not been able t. meet. A receivership has, there fore. become necessary pending a readjustment of the affairs of the company. A plan of reorganization for the H. B. Claflin company will soon be presented, which we hope will prove acceptable both to cerdi- tors and to stockholders.
 "The Associated Merchants Com pany and the United Dry Goods Com panes are not themselves borrowers Of money They are in exceedingly strong financial positions and the success of their retail stores is as' sured." ++.
