premier. Count Okuma, said today
that in presenting It's demands to the
Chinese government Japan had no
intcation of trcspassing upon the
rights Of China or interfering with

The desire Of Japan. ne said, was
that Cr'ua should attain the real
dignity of Independence aud not fall

Count Okumn stated To Professor
Mathews and Professor Gulick that
the integrity and prosperity of china
not only were To- the adYantage OF
Japan. hut That they constituted the
sole guaranty Of peace la 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. and acceptance Of her de-
mauds by china would involve ne
such intringements.

Prison Probe Is
Utterly Futile

Investigation Into Manage

Fails to Unearth Single Sub

Santa Re, \. N. Feb, z7.-The
house pcnitentiary committee, II was
stated this morning. has about con-
cluded its so-called Investigation Of
conditions at the state prison. II
was understood thar superintendent
McManus would present certain tcs-
tlmony IN rcbuttai along oersain lines
OF the Investigation. Upon the mat
ter of the LYONS woman the prison
management Is perfectly satisfied with
the evidence as u stands as the only
purpose that evidence has served ~
to show the necessity lsr a separate
wornen's ward at the state prison.
A Republican member of the COM
mittee stated to the Herald CORES
poBdcnt this morning that Insofar as
furnishing any basis for serious
charges against the prison manage-
ment upon which AN effort for re-
moval or change In the method OF ap-
pointmcnt could be based. the inves-
tiga;;on had completely failed. lie
said. further. that he had stated to
those seeking such grounds that u
they Insisted on making n change In
the prison management u should be
done with a Jimmy and not through
an effort to besmirch the character
OF management which the investi-
cation has demonstrated 10 5e clean
and efficient
The evidence. he said. had shown
that along one OF the walls of the
prison further guards were necessary.
tnat a ward fO- women was neces-
sary and that. possibly less meat had
been served 10 the prisoners under
the McManus administration than un-
der the Romero administration. Since
this difference did not seem TO have
affected the health OF IN cOnvicts and
since they seemed to be In a very
healthy condition, he said this find
ing OF the committee probably would
not be important.
The fact seems 10 be that the po-
lii,-aI nature Of the investigation as
| planned has managed To render u
futile almost from the beginning.
