JAPAN RESENTS ]
AMERICAN NOTE

WASHINGTON. d. C., June 16.-
Lining up with Breat Britain. Japan
has refused to associate herself with
America in the action of the latter
nation in requesting the rival Chinese
factions in that country TO compose
their differences in the state depart
ment OF the infant repHblic. No -rea-
son is given for the action of either
England or Japan in taking this anti
American stand other than that IL
was felt by both governments that
the American action would not be sue
cessful Aside from this it is known
that Japan bitterly resents the for
warding OF the American note TO
China, feeling that her special posi-
tion with regard TO China recently
out lined TO all nations had been ut
/ terly disregarded. The entire con
/ troversy, 1t would appear from wha,
little has been divulged by the state
department, has arisen from serie
OF misunderstandings and it is tn
hope OF the officials at Washington
that these MISUNDERSTANDING will b.
shortly cleared away.

WOMAN MURDERS
HER PARAM0UR

Another murder was committed at
Copper Canyon, near Battle Mountain.
early Wednesday morning when a
woman named Jarvis shot and killed
a man named Richard Williams, says
the Winnemucca Star.
From what can be learned of the
killing Williams and the woman were
living together. On this return home
after spending the night auto riding
with a party, the woman met Will
liams at the door OF the house and
shot him with double barreled shot
gun.
Both the murdered man and the
women were former residents of Win
nemucca. Mrs. Jarvis was hard
drinker ami in all probability was
intoxicated when she killed vii
liams. The murdered man was a gam
bier and during his residence here
conducted games in different saloons

Nevada's Liberty Loan campaign
has proved an overwhelming success.
Yesterday the Liberty Loan commit.

subscriptions have been made direct
TO the federal reserve to bring the to-
tai TO over s3.5OO00O, an ovcr.sub.
scription of about 10 per cent.
The Southern Pacific has arranged
that its employees subscriptions shall
be credited 10 Nevada in the counties
in which they originate. This addi-
tion, in itself will amount TO between
$40. 900 and $4,000.
Two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars of the S. p. Co.'S subscription was
credited to Nevada. OF this amount
s35, 900 was credited to Elko county.
The principal totals in the state are
! Reno. s9SO,55O; Ely district $6i5,OO0:
Tonopah, s525.S5O: Elko. s2S7 900, and
Goldfield s12S,5OO.
! Tonopah evidently carried off the
honors for individual subscriptions,
although its contribution includes
100000 from the Clark railroad and
TWO subscriptions from mining com
panies for $4,000 each.
