STEGLER INDICTED
 FOR CONSPIRACY
Two Others Were Indicted With Ger. man Naval Reservist Who Is Ac-
 cused of Plot to Secure Passport.

New York.-Mrs. Richard P. Stegler, arrested on a charge of felonious as- sault made by Arthur Mateiket, a re- porter, was discharged later in police court. Had certain evidence been more definite, the magistrate said, he would have been inclined to send her accuser to the werkhouse.
 Almost at the moment of Mrs Steg- ler's discharge in police court, the federal grand jury returned an indict- ment charging her husband with con- spiracy against the United States in obtaining an American passport false ly. Stegler Is German naval reserv- ist. Two others were indicted with him, Richard Madden, in whose name the passport was issued. and Gustave Cook of Hoboken, who, 1t is charged, participated in obtaining passports.
 Mrs. Stegler testified that the party remained together in the hotel during the entire period and that the two men had tried to disrobe her. At no time. she testified, were she and Ma teiket alone. She characterized the charge against her as frame up.
 In discharging the complaint against her the magistrate said he would be inclined to send Mateiket and his male companion to the workhouse if the testimony concerning their alleged at tempts to disrobe Mrs. Stegler were more definite.

Disappearing Island.

The most famous disappearing island in the middle ages was the island of St. Brendan. The saint for whom it was named was an Irish worthy, who is said to have sailed, with a number of monks, in search of fabled para disc and to have landed on an island in midocean. St. Brendan's was be- lieved to be visible at times from the west coast of Ireland, but it always disappeared when explorers were sent out in search of it. When one of the Portuguese kings ceded the Canary islands to the Castilian crown the treaty was reported to have included St. Brendan's, which was described as the island that has not yet been found.

OPEN DOOR NOT
 OPPOSED BY JAPAN
WANTS CHINA TO ATTAIN REAL DIGNITY OF lNDEPEDNENCE-
 GUARANTEES INTEGRITY.
COUNT OKUMA GIVES VIEWS
Says That Mischief Makers Have Been Trying to Play China Against
 Japan and America.

Tokyo.-The Japanese premier, Count Okuma, said that in presenting its demand to China, Japan had no 1 intention of trespassing on Chinas rights or interfering with the open door policy. Japans desire, he said. was that China should attain the real dignity of independence and not fall prey of any nation.
 Count 0kuma's remarks were made to Prof Smaller Mathews of Chicago and Prof. Sydney l.. Gulick of New York as they were taking leave of the premier. They sailed for San Francis co, having completed their mission for the Federal Council of Churches Of Christ in America. The Japanese press declares the work that they have done In fostering cordial relations be tween Japan and the United States is of historic significance and will be most helpful in maintaining the friend ship of the two nations.
 Count Okuma stated to Prof Math- ews and Prof. Gulick that the integ- r1ty and prosperity of China were not only to the advantage of Japan, but constituted the sole guaranty of peace in the Orient To secure this peace. he said, was the underlying motive of Japanese diplomacy. Japan had no thought of infringing upon the rights of other nations.
 Efforts recently have been made to invent some plausible reason for disruption between Japan and Ameri- ca, the premier continued. These attempts having failed, the michief makers now look to China as a field in which the two powers may be made to clash. l see no reason for such conflict
 Count Okuma said Japan and Great Britain had a well grounded under standing concerning equality of oppor- tunity in China and the integrity of that nation. In accordance with the we'll known policy of the United States, he believed that American manufacturers would find the Chinese markets open to them.
