The idea originated with the Bel

Through statements of financial re-

it is alleged the mountaineers secured
carloads of merchandise supposedly
for sale from fifty stores. The stores,
however, like the bank, could not be
found by investigators sent out by
the business houses. The goods secur-
ed in this way, it is declared, ranged
in value from bottles of patent medl-
cines and boxes of dried fish to pianos
and all the apparatus needed for the
establishment Of system OF tele-
| phone lines between the homes OF the

BY Mail Keen interest has peen
caused in Japan by the recent agitatlon

the opinion was frankly expressed that

The extremity of views printed IN
