RIGHTS OF CHINA,
Not to Be Infringed Upon By Japanese
 Demands, Says Premier Okuma

Tokio, Feb. 27.-The Japanese pre-. mier, Count Okuma, said today that Japan had no intention, in presenting its demand to the Chinese government of trespassing into the rights of China or interfering with the open door poli- cy. The desire of Japan, he said, was that China should attain the real dig nifty of independence and not fall the prey of any nation. Count Okuma' $ remarks were made to Prof. Smaller Mathews, of the University of Chica- go and Prof. Sydney l.. Gulicl1 of New York as they were taking leave of the premier. They sailed for San Francisco on the steam ship Mongolia. having completed their mission to Japan, under the auspices of the federal council of churches of Christ iE America. In the judgment of the Japanese press, the work which they have done in fostering cordial relations between Japan and the Unit- ed States is of historic significance and will prove to be most helpful in main- taining the friendship of the two na- tions.
 Count Okuma stated to Prof. Math- ews and Prof. Gulick that the integri- ty and prosperity of China not only were to the advantage of Japan but that they constituted the sole guaranty of peace in the orient. To secure this peace, he said, was the underlying mo tive of Japanese diplomacy Japan had no thought of infringing upon the rights of other nations, and accept ance of her demands by China would involve no such infringement.

EXTREMISTS ATTACK
 ITALIAN GOVERNMENT
Because of Instructions Given Prefects to Prohibit Meetings That Might
 Result in Disorders.

Result in Disorders.
 Rome, Feb. 27.-vehement attacks upon the government were made in the chamber of deputies yesterday by the extremists, because of instructions given projects to prohibit meetings even when they are described as pri- vate, if there is reason to believe they would result in disorders. The order was designed to prevent clashes over the question of Italy's neutrality. A turnult arose when the extremists de- clared the prohibition of such meet 1ngs was a suppression of liberty and in violation of the law.
 Premier Salamdra replied that ln- structiors to prefects were designed to protect liberty, threatened by vio- lence; raise the dignity of the country, which had been injured by dissensions and cement a moral unity which would lead to triumph. To the ex- tremists taunt that it was a plan to prevent ltaly's intervention in the war the premier declared, amidst applause
 "I do not know whether our nation Is destined to march to war but if this shall be the case we must all unani- mously obey the orders of the father land and the king
 The premier eulogized Signor Mosti- Trotti the radical deputy who died suddenly at Milan yesterday while de- livering a speech. He said that every one must salute a man who died in action and that Signor Mosti-Trotti had met death while performing his duty, with the name of his country on his lips.
 Signor Mosti-Trotti was speaking in favor of the intervention of Italy in the war when he died. The premier's remarks in this connection were re- ceived by the deputies with an out burst of applause.

WATERBURY SUBURB
 VISITED BY POLICE
Promising Clues Said to Have Bsea
 Unealhcd in Brooklyn.

1 Patience, patience. This is a most 1 difficult case and will take time.' So I say the police working desperately to ] solve the mystery of the Zebris- 1 Gilmanaitis murder. Clues in New | Britain, Hartford and other cities are 1 being run down and now further clues of an important nature are being brought to light in Brooklyn, the suburb of Waterbury where Father Zebris was once pastor. Tn that place it was said last night that Rev. Peter Saurusaitis, the Lithuanian priest, and Joseph Baltruszajtis, a. wealthy Lithuanian banker, have re- ceived letters warning them to re- frain form any activity in connection with solving the local mystery. It is now the belief of the police that the murderers of Fa- ther Zebris were sent from the Brooklyn section on the night of the tragedy by a powerful order located in the Lithuanian district. The po- lice are seeking four men, all Lithu- anians, who they believe, after com mitting the deed, remained over night at a. boarding house in New Britain from where the police have traced them back to this city. That they are here in hiding is the belief of the po- lice.
 One Photograph Obtained.
 The police are at present hot upon their trail. Photographs of at least one of the alleged slayers has been obtained and shown to several promi- nent merchants of Brooklyn to make it possible for them to identify the fugitive if he should venture into hai ho being closely watched and the police and plainclothes men are searching and questioning every stranger of Lithuanian descent seen on the streets
 Hot-Bcd of Anarchists.
 Its just a hot-bed of anarchists over here" declared a prominent Brooklyn merchant last night. and the sooner these societies are cleaned up the better for the town in gen. eral. There are clans of these Lith- uanians formed here under the name of socialists who would not stop at anything. Brooklyn merchants have been blackmailed frequently, but they never kick, they give in"
 Lithuanian Is Searched.
 As an evidence of how closely Brooklyn is being watched, only Tues day night, a Lithuanian claiming to to be from New Britain was promptly taken in charge of by one of the po- lice working on the case and brought into a store, where he was thoroughly In the store the Lithuanian cried out, 1T no kill him, no kill him" No discriminating evidence was found on the Lithuanian and he was allowed to go.
 Afraid to Talk.
 Silence has settled over the Lith- uanian section and a stranger enter ing one of their cafes or clubs is re- garded with an air of suspicion. The residents almost invariably refuse to converse on the murder of the New Britain pastor or any of the develop ments in the case since the event. Those who do talk fear they may be harmed if their name comes out in the newspaper.
 If the clues which the police are at present working on stand fire for short time the powerful chain of evi- dence which has been so successfully pieced together will be complete and the slayers may be brought to jus tice.
