JAPANESE AT UNIVERSITY.
 HOTlY DENY THEY'RE SPIES


 University of Washington, March 26-Japanese students at the Uni versity of Washington hctly resent the charge made at the University of Pennsylvania that their govern ment has instructed them to spy on coast Qualifications of the United States. The report comes from Pro- lessor Sweeney of the eastern insti- tuition, who says that UEletar Sato, a Japanese student living next door tt him in dormitory, disclosed the alleged practice which he said was common throughout the country.
 Nuinosuke Koboyashi, a govern ment student" in the college of lib- eral arts, was spokesman for his countrymen when the University of Washington Daily sought iLforma- ticn as to the accusations. made in the east. He was a personal friend and neighbor, in Japan, of Count Yoshokawa, vice-president of the prfvy council and minister of the interior during the Russo-Japanese war, and he holds himself to be in q position to know the falsity of the charge.
 "The only motive of the Japanese government in sending students to this country is to have brought back to the native land the educa- ton and culture of the west" ne said.
 Informed that Chinese students at Pennsylvania had charged that the Japan se were sending detailed in- formation and maps of military and naval bases home, he said they ap- parently hoped they would pre- judice the minds of the American people against the Japanese in the present trouble with China"
