Mr.. MORRIS, our Ambassador to
Japan, explained TO the University
Club yesterday the japanese issue In
California. He did not discuss the
merits Of the case, as Of course no
Ambassador could do publicly, but
defined the question itself. Probably
not one man in hundred on this
side of the continent is familiar with
the details of the question or even
comprehends its general points. A
summary of Mr.. MoRRIs's remarks
printed in our news columns to-day
will give one clear idea of the legal
and diplomatic status Of the affair.
AS our relations with the japanese
Government are an important interna-
tional matter American intelligence
may well inform itself of the facts
and influences now the subject Of
negotiations between our State De-
partnent and the Japanese Foreign
Office. What is to come of these
negotiations nobody knows; nobody
can foresee. But it behooves every
body to gather an understanding of
the plain facts back of the delicate,
perhaps grave situation.

Smokers in the Subway.
Discomfort to Passengers Caused by
Increasing Violation of a Rule.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The time
is about ripe for crusade against men
who persist In smoking and carrying
lighted cigars and cigarettes in the
subway In violation OF the law. More
and more men are ignoring the signs
warning them not to smoke
1t has grown to be a common sight
to see men smoking on the station plat
forms. This is the worst nuisance of
all. It certainly causes discomfort to
women.
To illustrate to what proportions
nuisance will grow when permitted to
spread unmolested. the other night as a
northbound express train was leaving
the Ninety-sixth street station soldier
In uniform produced a cigarette from
his coat pocket and lighted It This
took place in a crowded car and almost
caused a battle royal, but the soldier
persisted in smoking in spite Of protests.
The guard seemed afraid to assert him
self and remained in the background
while the soldier glared at him and
dared him to como on.
Some nights later on a southbound
Broadway train a man entered car
carrying a lighted butt on which the
ashes had accumulated. He stood hoio-
ing a strap just above a woman who
was nicely dressed. Whether he did 1t
unconsciously or not is q question, but
at all events he ficlsed the ashes on the
butt and they fell into the woman's lap.
Naturally she was annoyed and to the
satisfaction OF everybody present gave
the careless man tongue lashing that
he won't forget for long time. How
ever he persisted in holding on to the
lighted butt for the remainder OF his
trip. SMOKER.

1t is not necessary to say anything

told in this simple record Of his per-

to say that he comes near to being

How the Wise Custer Wolf Was Killed
Story of the End of Famous Outlaw of the Cattle
Range Told by the Hunter Who Outwitted Him.

After making a kill he would go,on some
distance. back trail for a few rods to
a point where he could keep under cover
and watch the hunter on his trail.
Though this is common habit of a
bear. I have never before known wolf
to do it. 1t was on April 26 that Mr..
Williams first found the wolf was doing
this. At other times the wolf took to
fallen timber and so could not be
tracked.
Twice during May the wolf stepped
on the jaws Of traps and on the night
Of July he rolled into or lay down on
one and had lot of his hair pulled out.
This gave him such scare that he
left the country for a while. No sign
could be found of him near Custer until
the night of August /, when he made his
presence known by killing several head
Of cattle and wounding several more
Williams found some of these cattle,
took the trail Of the wolf and followed
him all day on fresh track. This led
up to the mouth Of cafion. and, know
ing that the wolf would be taking sleep
after his big feed, Williams tied his
horsemen came UP. riding at breakneck
speed and calling to Williams that they
had found a yearling steer killed by
the wolf.
Williams notioucd them to go back,
but they did not understand what he
meant and he was forced to return to
meet them. Thus he lost the best chance
he ever had Of getting the wolf with a
rifle. When he returned to the trail he
found the place where the wolf had
bedded down to sleep. The noise made by
the horsemen had given him tho alarm
and he had gone back down the cafion
very close to the hunter and escaped.
Early in September the wolf stepped
on trap and was caught slightly by
one foot Apparently the trap had
tipped so that it caught only one side
of the foot and the wolf was able to
pull loose He left some hair in the
trap. This happened again in the early
days Of October. Williams finally got
the wolf on October II. Here is his
own account Of it:
''He stepped into a trap in the morn
ing and it got good grip on him. He
ran with it about $50 yards. when the
hook caught on tree, but that did not
seem to stop him at all. He broke the
swivel of the trap and ran on with 1t
on his front foot.
"I trailed him three miles and got a
shot at him and got him. He had been
SO lucky that I expected the gun would
fail to shoot, but 1t worked o X.
HE Is smaller than the average male
wolf, weighed ninety Eight pounds and
measured just six feet from tip to tip.
eleven inches from toe to hook and had
a tail fourteen inches long. His teeth
would be good for fifteen years longer.
He broke some Of them off on the trap,
but aside from that they were in good
condition. He is an old wolf with
fur that is almost white"
In that simple fashion does the man
who outwitted the cleverest of animal
criminals tell his story.

Watt, the Perfect Slave.

"We have only begun the use of
electricity in the home" says DIR.
CHARLES p. STEINMETz. True enough.
The array of washing and ironing
machines, vacuum sweepers, toasters,
stoves and fans now found in mod
ern households only gives an appe-
tite for more labor saving devices.
The house OF twenty years from now
will have as many wires as it has
shingles unless by that time the wire
less experts have applied the Hertz
ian wave to short distance work.
At A. NJ. the clock will start
electric power at work in the sub
urban home. 1t will close the bed
room windows, put the draft on the
furnace, swing a door which will per-
NIT the exit Of the dog and the en-
trance of the cat, heat the commu-
ter's shaving and bath water and
awaken the commuter with a song,
spun from a concealed talking ma
chine, which will cause him to begin
his day with big, cheerful thought.
AT z A. M. electricity will take in
the milk, make the toast and coffee,
boil and even open the eggs, snatch
the newspaper from the front steps
and polish shoes. Meanwhile, up
stairs, the nimble current will have
transferred the commuters buttons
from one shirt to another, reminded
him on the phonograph to put his
spectacles in his pocket and not to
forget handkerchief and suggested
to him that he tell his wife while he
is hungry what he would like for
dinner. While the commuter is eat
ing breakfast electricity will shake
the furnace, let slip some coal through
a chute to the firepot and suck the
ashes from the pipe to the barrel
Such are the little ways in which
electricity will help mere man as we'll
as superwoman. Even after the COM
muter has left the house he will
hear, before he rounds the corner, the
shrill cry Of the electrically timed
photograph on the porch: "Don't
forget to mail my letters!"

Chapelle Ardentc.

Where laced with silver waterfalls
The Adirondacks rise.
/ saw a little dell beneath
The gray Of winter skies.
Hemmed in by dusky evergreens
And fioored with frozen fleece.
1t nestled in the mountains heart.
A place of primal peace.
No pinion famed the frosty air,
No squirrel Clipped and chirred,
No wind the withered Ivy spray
Or leafess bramble stirred.
And stiff and straight the icicles.
Like tapers slimmering pale.
Depended from the snowy boughs
Within that silent vale.
No resurrection but the spring
Could break the white repose
That held In its enchanted spell
That chapel Of the SHOWS
OF pearl and alabaster wrought,
For there. immaculate.
EMBODIED in the shining drifts.
Dead Nature lay in state.

You Will Know in 1860.

A good many Of our readers, will
live to see whether it is true, as At
torney-General NEWTON Of New York
State told the Supreme Court Of the
United States the other day, that this
city will have a population of 16OOO,-
900 in 1860.
A tripling Of the city's population
would mean that Manhattan below
Central Park would be all stores,
factories and Office buildings, for the
natural increase in the same forty
years in New Jersey, Westchester and
Nassau county would mean metro
politan population of 25,0OOOO0.
A city of 100000 could scarcely
be more impressive or interesting
than the present town Of 100000.
More skyscrapers will only lessen the
distinction of those that exist. The
only benefit to be derived from trip
ling the population would be the I'D
crease in the city's tax crop; but a
city always seems to need additional
money from each pocket the more
numerous the pockets become.
The streets Of New York are pretty
well congested with the present den-
sity Of population. 1t would be sad
to think that the number Of killings
by motor cars would increase as the
town gained more people and lost its
elbow room. But there is hope that
in forty years the sky will be more
popular than the asphalt as high
way. Then the pedestrian, who now
looks four ways while crossing a
street, will look a fifth way-up.
About 1860 we also look for the
razing of the City Hall post office
building.

| To THE New YORK HERALD: In COM
menting on tho killing Of the Custer
wolf. the master criminal OF the animal
world, you complained that I did not
give the details of how II. p. Williams.
the hunter. finally outwitted the wolf.
That omission is due to the fact that
| Williams Is as modest as he is skilfui
and does not care to talk about his ex-
ploits. So 1t is only now that the par
ticulars Of the hunt are available.
For nine years this wolf had lived as
an outlaw--the cruelest. most sagacious.
most successful animal outlaw that the
range country had ever known. His
cunning was such that all attempts to
get him failed 1t Is estimated that he
killed $4,000 worth OF live stock.
| Four years ago hts mate was killed.
He never took another. Later on he
attached to himself two coyotes. not as
equals but as servants. He never per-
mitted them to come near him and they
could feed from his kills only after he
himself had finished. They travelled
far out on his fianks. giving him warn
ing of ambush or approaching danger
and adding to the atmosphere Of mys-
terry that surrounded him.
In March. 1920, the Bureau of Biolog-
ical Survey, United States Department
Of Agriculture, sent to Custer III. p.
williams, one OF its best hunters, with
instructions TO stay after the wolf until
he was taken, no matter how much time
was required.
T. Ia, a
bunch Of traps, but as the old wolf was
known to be trap wise he expected to
depend mainly on his rifle. AS things
turned out he required both the trap and
the rifle to get the wolf when he was
finally taken on October II, 1920.
When williams first went into the
country where the wolf ranged he was
told the wolf might have quarters any
where within district forty miles wide
and slxty-five, miles long. In hunting
for fresh tracks he finally went into the
hills west Of Pringle and found that the
wolf was staying around some old dens
in the Pelgar Mountains.
Williams scented up the soles of his
shoes and started stringing out his traps.
The wolf got on his trail that night,
followed the scent entirely around the
line, probably with the idea that a pos
sible mate was in his neighborhood, and
then. returning to Pelgar Mountains.
cleared out two old dens and made a
new one, which ran back into the hill
for about fifty feet
On April / williams had his first
glimpse of the wolf. but was unable to
get shot at him. The coyotes were
acting as bodyguards, travelling from
100 to 200 yards on the tanks Of their
master. They would warn him Of dam
ger by taking flight.
For a while Williams did not shoot
the coyotes. hoping that he would get
chahee at the wolf without having to
give him warning by the shots that
would be necessary to despatch his
bodyguard. Finally. realizing that there
was no chance OF getting at the wolf
unless tho coyotes were killed. Williams
shot them. hoping that he then had
clear field.
In this he was greatly mistaken. The
wolf played hide and seek with him.

The soft, luxurious sheen of silk.
