JAPANESE READERS
DEMAND u. S. NEWS
Rengo Director Cites Increase in
Volume Carried-N. R. A.
Holds Interest.
Ev the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August pa tre-
mendouS increase in the volume Of
American news carried by Japanese
newspapers was cited by Yukichi
Iwanaga managing director Of the
Rengo News Agency of Japan. as an eX-
ample of the intense interest his coun-
try has in United States affairs.
Japan is watching particularly, he
said, the progress of the N. r. A. be-
cause of the influence its success or
failure may have on japanese economic
welfare.
However" said Mr.. Iwanaga. Il have
no doubt your N. R. A. movement will
succeed"
The japanese journalist arrived in
New York from Chicago, en- route to
London. on his way around the world.
He is studying newspaper practices.
Since 1913. he estimated. the amount
OF American news appearing in the
newspapers of Japan has increased ap-
proximately 800 per cent. Altogether
he said, news of this country's happen
ingS occupies one quarter OF the entire
space devoted to news.
Mr.. Iwanaga said Japan has learned
may things from America, and had pat
termed its newspapers largely on the
American model.
But We have also learned other
things" he said smiling. I'VE have
learned to eat ice cream in overheated
rooms in the Winter time, for instance.
"Ona of the thinc7 we are indebted
to you for is baseball, which is more
popular than ever in Japan. Babe
Ruth, I dare say. is as well known to
us as he is to you. Also your Mr.
Gehrig. and Mr.. Lefty Grove"
One of the most revolutionary
changes in the handling Of news by
Japanese newspapers, Mr.. Iwanaga as
serted. was the manner in which the
stories are written.
Following very closely your Ameri-
can pattern" he said, "our news stories
are conciSely written. Also. I think, we
are getting away from editorial writing.
and confining ourselves to telling the
news rather than expressing opinions
about it.
also We are devoting about 20 per
cent more space to news than We did
previously. This is aside from the fact
that We carry much more foreign cable
material than We did 10 or 90 years
ago.
''Of the total amount Of foreign news.
one half is Chinese news, one quarts
Covers the major part of the rest of the
world. and one quarter is exclusively
american news
He said there are about 100 japanese
newspapers, with some having immense
tirculations. comparable to our dailies
In metropolitan centers.
"The japanese newspaper Is begin
hing to exert a powerful influence on
our people" he said. Japan has be-
come decidedly what you call news
paper minded. We handle our advertis-
ing copy much as you do here, and try
to SELL advertised products to the pub
lie with well-written copy.
eve are following the progress of the
N. r. A. movement with great interest
because Of the eventual effect the sue
cess or failure of the N R. A. may have
on our economic future in Japan"

ferred with Kent Cooper. general man

to him as the Cromwell Of Maryland,
but he was more than that. His was
a type of turpitude which is as old,
probably, as humanity itself and is
not confined to any race or nation I'M
der the sun. He was resolute, only
to cringe. He built up, only to de-
stroy. He was loyal, only to betray
his liege. The late Gamaliel Brad
ford, had he taken note of him at all
during his excursions into psychogra
ply, must certainly have numbered
him among the damaged souls"
During the welter which attended
the rise of the Puritans to power in
Maryland and which reached crisis
in the battle on the banks of the Sew
ern during Governor Stones admins
tration, Fendall was Jealous enough
in support of the proprietary. Previ-
Gus to that, little is known Of him be-
yond the fact that he had emigrated
to Maryland previous to 1866 and that
he spelled his name with double
"f."
He appears first on the civic, scene
as one of the leaders of the expedition
which descended upon the home Of
Richard Preston on the Patuyent, and
retrieved the records which the Puri
tans had seized and carried off from
st. Mary's. Afterward he fought lus-
tily as a captain in support Of Gov
ernor Stone at Providence, his con-
duct on both occasions catapulting
him high in the esteem Of Lord Balti-
more.
Even before the Lords Whitlock and
Warrington, Commissioners Of Trade
and Plantations, had handed down
their decision confirming Lord Balti
more's jurisdiction over Maryland, the
proprietary had sent out to his colony
a commission comforting upon Captain
Fendall the Governorship Of the pc
1atinate.

JOSIAS FENDALL,
"PERFIDEOUS AND PERJURED FELLOWE"
By K AT H ERNIE SCAR BORO U G H
In the Baltimore Sunday Sun, April 90, 1888.

Lord Baltimore's commission was
dated July 10, 1866, and, in addition
to naming Fendall as Governor, it
announced the appointment of former
Governor Stone, Thomas Gerard, Col.
John Price, John Chandler, Luke Bar
Der "and such other person or per-
sons, not exceeding three in number,
as the said Josias Fendall should
nominate" to be "of his Lordship's

gether the new officials had little diff
ficulty in impressing their authority
upon the capital Of st. Mary's county,
but their success ended there. Cap
tain Fuller continued to dominate
at Providence and it was probably to
seek a solution Of this impasse that
Fendall, soon after he had assumed
office, went to England to consult
with the proprietary.
During his absence Luke Barger
officiated at st. Mary's as deputy gov
ernor and the Puritans again took
advantage Of the opportunity to in
surge. They summoned an Assembly
which met at PatuXent September "a,
1857, and proceeded through the en-
actment of the requisite statutes to
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-05-11

Fendall exhibited great gusto in
his role of the lord proprietary's per-
sonal representative in consummat-
ing the agreement by which Mary
land was returned from the commits
sioners of Parliament to the Cal
verts. He published its terms and
recovered from the committee of
government the great seal and other
evidences Of authority.
Coincidentally with his commits
sion to Fendall Lord Baltimore had
bestowed upon his own half brother,
Philip Calvert, the post of secretary
of the province and sent him to Mary
land early in the spring Of 1867. To-

are believed to have been QuakerS.
Along the lines of military organ
ization Fendall was both alert and
able. The outstanding accomplishment
of his administration was the estab-
lishment of the militia, which, long
before had been permitted to go to
pieces, on sound military footing.
Historians agree that its disorganizcd
condition was largely responsible for
Governor Stones defeat at Provi-
dence and Fendall, profting by that
| experience, lost no time in repairing
and reorganizing the fighting machine
of the colony.
Under Fendall's direction the whole
province was districted and comman-
ders appointed for each district. Two
regiments were organized.
The outlook for peace and prosper
ity appeared more favorable than it
had been for twenty years, but Fen
dali himself was already up to his
eyes in treason. Smarting under the
restrictions placed upon him by the
proprietary and chatting under the
latter's criticism of his negligence at
courts and his contradictions of court
orders, he selected the Assembly of
March, 1659-60, as the opportune time
to put into execution a plot to over
throw the proprietary government
and set up in it's place a common
wealth in which the supreme power
was to be vested in the House of Bur-
gesses with himself at its head.
The connivance of the Lower House
was required, but this was not diff
ficult to obtain, since there was al
ways sufficient number of delegates
jealous of the Upper House and ready
to extend their own powers. Playing
into Fendall's hands, the Burgesses
sent to the Governor and council
message in which they declared them
selves the "highest court of adjudi-
cature" and without dependence on
any other power in the province"
This message seems not to have taken
the Governor by surprise, probably,
it has been conjectured, because he
had conducted it himself to give color
to his designs upon the province.
His reply was Forthcoming at once
The Assemblymen were informed that
there was much in what they said, but
that it was the Governors belief that
"the Lord Proprietor, by himself, or
his deputy, ought to be present and
have a casting voice" He deposed
that, as Governor, he had not any
power to confirm laws made by Bur-
gesscs for any longer time than until
his Lordship or his heirs should de-
clare their dissent. He also felt, he
said, that the intent Of the King in his
Lordship's patent was that the free
men by writ assembled, either by
themselves or their deputies, should
make and enact the laws and those,
so made, were to be published in his
Lordship's name and then to be in

Josias Fendall, fourth of the propri-
etary Governors named by Lord Balti-
more to administer the affairs of his
palatinate, stands out through the re-
corded acts of his brief interlude of
authority far more clearly as an indi-
vidual than do any of his predecessors
in office.
One of the more dispassionate of
his chroniclers has referred bitingly

confirm themselves in authority. They
made it convincing, too, by levying a
poll tax to pay public expenses and
appointing a committee to collect the
fines which they imposed upon the adj
herents of the proprietary.
But the Puritans had overshot then
mark. They had banked upon Crom-
we'll to uphold them in their sedition
and Cromwell already was out of love
with the Puritane. He had rejected
, the title of King for the power of a
dictator and was engaged in counting
the favor of the English nobility. The
republicanism Of the Maryland insur-
gents, consequently, waited no incense
to his nostrils. He ignored them.
What transpired in England to un-
dermine Lord Baltimore's confidence
in his newly appointed lieutenant is
not re corded, but Fendall unquestion.
ably lost caste during his visit When
he returned to America in 1868 he
brought with him not only the agree
ment between Lord Baltimore and the
Commissioners of Parliament, but also
document, dated Move mber 20, 1867,
curtailing and restricting his own au-
thority in no small degree and direct
ing him to exercise the powers of his
office subject to the advice and consent
of Secretary Philip Calvert or, in case
of the latter's death, of Cornwaleys.
Fendall seems Immediately to have
set about consolidating the affairs of
the province, but, in the light of what
happened later, it is obvious that Lord
Baltimore's restrictions ranked sore
within him and he yearned for re-
venge. Barber surrendered his power
back to the Governor and on March
20, 1868, the followers of the proprie-
tary met the leading Puritans in con-
ference at St. Leonard's Creek.
True to form, the Puritans objected
as usual to a clause in the oath Of
fidelity. Notifications were made to
obviate their objections and the COM
pact was designated as "engagement"
rather than an oath. They also desired
an amnesty forpast transgressions and
requested not to be disarmed because
of danger from Indians. Their de-
mands were met, Fendalfs commits
sion read and he was proclaimed Gov
ernor.
In July of the same year Fendall,
accompanied by Philip Calvert, Will
liam Britain, the clerk, and Council
lor Ute, made an expedition to Kent,
where they held session Of the Pro-
vincial Court and sought to reestab-
lish the supremacy of Lord Baltimore
over the island. Here, also, they en-
countered some opposition, for nine
men, including two who had been JUS
tees of the peace, refused to sub
scribe to the agreement surrendering
the government to the proprietary Gin

him and ito pay lawful taxes" The

COUNSEL in the said province"
Before Fendall could take any steps
to make his commission effective, how
ever, he was arrested by the Puri-
tans and, on August Is, 1856, was
hailed before the Provincial Court COM
posed of Capt. William Fuller, Ed
ward Lloyd, Richard Wells, Capt.
Richard Even, Thomas March and
Thomas Meares to answer the charge
of "his dangerousness to the public
peace" The fiedgling Governor haugh-
tily denied the power of the court to
try him and marched off to prison to
remain until the matters of govern
ment in the province of Maryland
shall be further settled and fully de-
termined by his Highness, the Lord
Protector"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-05-11

But the weather was hot and prison
was uncomfortable 1t took little
more than month to cure the dough-
ty captain of his heroics and his taste
for durance. On September "a he
made his submission, which was
couched in the form of an oath bind
ing him to refrain from disturbing
directly or indirectly =. this present
government till there be full deter
mination ended in England of all
matters relating to this government"
The full determination" had been
made in England a week before. Lord
Baltimore Immediately renewed his
instructions to Governor Fendall, spe
officially directing him to see that the
Acs of federation "be duly observed
and that the penalties mentioned
in the same act be duly put in exc
cution upon any offenders against
the same or any party thereof; and
particularly that part thereof where
by all persons in the said province
are to have liberty of conscience and

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate's Special Campaign Funds
Committee yesterday decided to reopen
its inquiry into Louisiana's 1892 Demo-
cratic senatorial primary in New Or
leans next October.
The investigation, Chairman Con-
nally made clear, will concern itself
solely with the fitness of Senator Over
ton to hold his Office.
Overton defeated former Senator
Broussard for the Democratic nomina-
ton, which Is tantamount to election,
but Broussard has not contested the
election, which confines the commit
tees inquiry to Overton's fitness.
Should the election be contested. ae-
eording to Connally and Senator Logan,
Democrat, Of Kentucky, the commit
tees investigation could be broadened
in scope to include number OF things
members intend to exclude under the
present limitations.
