H0YT HURLS YANKS TO SECOND WIN, 81
INTERNATIONAL
INTRIGUE SEEN
IN JAP MURDER
Secret Service of For
eign Nations May
Be InUoIUed.

New York Oct 6.-Onited
Press)-A trail of international
intrigue involving the secret serv-
ice of at least two foreign powers,
was believed by special investiga-
tors today to lie behind the mys-
terious murder OF Nitaro Yasuhara,
a japanese, found stTangled in the
Hotel Empire yesterday.
A general alarm has been sent
out for another Japanese who is
believed to have Iured the dead
man to his doom. Evidences that
the murder was committed accord
ing to the best scientific principles
OF jiu-jitsu led police and detec-
tives to the theory that a fellow
countryman to the slain Yasuhara
committed the crime.
British Papers Found.
Papers found upon the body of
the victim indicate he was in the
employ CT another foreign power
Testimonials from a British gov
ernment official are among the doc
Uments which have been turned
over to special agents in charge OF
the Investigation. That the papers
were left carelessly scattered upon
the body of the victim led to a sug-
gestion of revenge
The dead man was a cook, but
no evidence could be found of his
ever having worked in that capac-
ity in this country. He was iden-
tilted as having lodged at a Japan
ese club for some little time.
AS for the supposed slayer, moth
ing could be learned of him. and il
was believed he had come recently
to this country in search Of Yasu-
hara.

NATIONAL BANK
EXTENSION IS
BASIS FOR ROW
State DiUision Dele
gates Bitterly De-
nou7ce Plan.

Los Angeles, Calf, Oct. g.
Foreign trade was the topic on the
program to occupy the third session
Of the American Bankers associa-
tons forty-seyerth annual conyen-
ton here today. Alignment of fac
tions indicated, however. that an
internal problem of deeper interest
was occupying the delegates;
whether or not national banks
should be permitted to extend their
activities by means of branches.
Bitter denunCiation OF extension
of national banks into the state
bank fields was expressed earlier
in the convention in the state bank
division. Delegates expected TO
fight about the question either to-
day or tomorrow and put the con-
vention on record as to proposed
federal law that would permit this
new move

The program, however. in addi-
ton to the election of officers,
included discussions of information
al affairs by students.
Sir DrummOnd Frazer of London.

Detroit. Mich. Oct 6.-(United
Press. Vastly higher salaries for
United States judges. as a step TO

statement to the United Press to-

Ford wants supreme court JUS

than Timothy j. Campbelrs What's
the Constitution between friends?" or
course there can be no controversy over
the main fact that II was Tim Campbell
or New York, a Member OF Assembly in
1882. who made the historic phrase.
AS 10 the occasion, the real fact ought
10 be easily and definitely determined
because so many people who were OBJ
servers OF events In Albany at that time
are alive to give their testimony.
Grover Cleveland was then Governor
and Theodore Roosevelt was in the AS
sembly. but for one l am sure that
neither OF them figured in the incident,
az might be gathered from the letters
you are receiving. OF course mention
of Tim sullivan Is a worse perversion
Of history
My recollection is very clear that the
distinction belongs 10 the late Walter
H. Howe, then an Assemblyman from a
silk stocking district In New York. and
that he saved the story from oblivion by
good naturedly telling It as Joke on
Tim Campbell day or two after the
latter had asked him to support pend
ing bill which was obviously unconstitu-
tional. Howe was Republican and OF
course Campbell Democrat g. r. $.

Tackling the Rat Problem.

The always smoldering anti-rat
crusade Is having a little fareup in
Connecticut. There is drive in prog
ress to capture 5000 rats in New Lon
don and 10000 in Bridgeport for the
purpose of searching extensively for
plague germs. The inquiry is intended
to promote the appropriation Of
$4,000 by the Legislature for an in
tensive survey and study OF means 70
protect the State from the introduc-
ton and dissemination of disease, es-
peclally the bubonic plague.
Connecticut is forehanded In taking
these steps. In general, the plague
being rather in qulescent phase, lit
tie or nothing Is being done In this
country TO fight the rats. Only in
England Is relentless, unceasing
war against them kept up. 1t is true
that there was scarcity of rats
about yenr ago and prices for those
needed for scientific experiment were
toubled. IL was said that the pro
fessional rat raisers had curtailed the
output for profiteering reasons. There
we're, however, and are an imposing
number Of supernumerary rats In
barns. cellars. docks, storehouses and
factories MI over the country.
One Of the oddities Of civilization
Il the slight emphasis put on this cru
sade. Of all the enemies Of man there
are few more mischievous than the
rodent species. They attack life
through being disease carriers. As to
their destruction of wealth, II is stu
pendous. In the United States alone,
II Is figured, they destroy s2O0.OO0 900
worth Of property annually--food.

While Leonardo IL. has far TO go

stuffs OF all sorts, with incidental
damage to buildings, containers and
water pipes. The loss they cause is
equivalent to the annual labor of
about 100000 men. A rat eats cents
worth a day, at least $15 worth a
year, and there are countless millions
OF them. In a circle about New York
City Hall, taking In Paterson, 1t is
estimated there are from 100000 TO
10,O00,000 rats.
TO be effective the war on them
should be unrelaxing. A pair will
have several broods a year of several
young rats each, A couple will pro-
duce hundreds of thousands of young
in their normal life. Nothing has been
heard here of the question since DR..
CoPELAND's proposal last December
to ratproof the waterfront at mini
mum cost Of S50,000.000. But the
subject Is always worthy OF agitation
and activity. Connecticut is on the
right track and this and every State
should take systematic steps to ex-
tirpate the nuisance IL 1t requires fifty
years and ten times as many millions
to fulfil the task
