BRYAN TELLS PUBLIC HOW
 UNITED STAT ES MILL AID . /. PEACE MOVE AF TER WAR

WASHINGTON, 'D. C., June 16.-William J. Bryan today issued the first section of his forth coming statement on the European disturbance entitled ''Causeess War; Bryan includes in his article a prophecy that the greatest peace making opportunity ill the history of the world is certain to come to the United States before the present great war is ended. He declared that when the war is over there will be an irresistible demand for inter national conference to discuss the doctrines of inter national law, which are at present being interpreted by the begerent countries being formulated for nations at war instead of nations at peace. The rights of the neutral countries must be made more definite and certain, and their enjoyment guaranteed by the conference, to prevent the mcessant incita- ton to that the lax definition of these rights has shown in the present case.

JAP AN PROTESTS BOYCO I TIN G
 BY CHINESE

TOKYO, June 1G.--A news agency announces today that the Japanese government has persented an official note to China protesting against the anti-Japanese wave that is sweeping the country. The Chinese are ex- tremely resentful over the advantage Japan took of her unpreparedness for war, when she forced China to grant the demands recently made. The Chinese have been showing their feel ing in their own way, and it is a way that will hurt Japan more than any thing else, because it seriously crip- ples her trade with China. Boycotts are being secretly organized through out China, the people pledging them selves not to buy any goods of Jap, anese origin.
 The government has been unable to locate the organizers of these move, ments, which commenced in Shanghai and Hankow, and there has been in some cases considerable disorder when Chinese buying goods in a Jap, anese shop were assaulted. China is the biggest customer that Japan has and If the boycott continues to spread at It's present rate, the Kingdom oi the Mikado will lose considerable revenue before the end of the year.
 The boycott is advertised by printed slips calling upon the patriotic Chin csc to punish Japan for the ignomini ous treatment recently inflicted upoI China Small boys are employed tC distribute the circulars who, wheI arrested, say that they do not know Chinese government Is evidently ear nestly trying to suppress the boycott but so far has been unsuccessful. Is believed that the Chinese bushes men are behind the movement partl, to promote their own prosperity, an, partly for motives of patriotism. Ther can be no doubt that the feelin against Japan is intense and wid spread, and the Chinese are past mas ters in the art of boycotting. Wha to Japan in case the boycott is nc crushed. Is the source of much spec, lation.

SEWARD ROAD LAW SUIT OVER PURCHASE
 PRICE OF $l150,000---S SUSPICION OF GRAFT

In all likelihood, the court will issue the restraining order, but will not make it permanent until the issue of the case has been decided, or receiver appointed. If the receiver is appointed, Heckscher will have to depend on the gratitude of the individual bondholders for his fee and the Hanson suit will not be compromised. In any event there is small chance that the government will pay for the road when the appropriation made by the last Congress becomes available on July 1.
 Rumors of the action taken by Shedd & Thomp- son have been flying around Wall treet, New York for some time The activity of Heckscher, million aire broker in inducing the government to purchase the road have excited great deal of comment, and it has even been suggested that a congressional inquiry may result. The total commissions to be taken from the purchase price, are said to be in the neighborhood of S365000

 The plaintiffs ask that the court appoint receiver for the road, whose duty it will be to receive the purchase price from the United States and distribute it under an order or the court. The complaint alleges that the Canadian committee of the bondholders of the Alaska Northern has been ordered by a secret arrangement to pay August Heckscher, of New York S1OO,OOo for promoting the sale to the government.
 It also alleges that the Canadian bondholders have entered into an agreement to pay Otto Hanson of San Francisco $10O0OO in consideration of the dismissal of the suit recently brought in the District Court at Valdez Alaska, charging Ballaine and others with wrongful of the funds of the railroad and asking for an accounting.
