Silk Boycott by U. S. Is Seen
Contingency Japan Fears Most
Economists Doubt Retail Products
Ban Would Haze Far.Reaching Effect.
Result for u. S. Discussed.

The movement In this country to
boycott goods made in Japan. intensi.
ned by the sinking Of the q. s. 8.
Panay, should be undertaken with .
full understanding Of it, probable
effect in Japan as well AZ It's effect on
American industry. ~
The boycott, essentially, hea form
Of war, and II carried to its ultimate
conclusion might prove more disas-
trous to the japanese than any mill
tary undertaking on the part Of this
country. At the same time, however,
1t must be recognized that the United
States inevitably will suffer, too.
At present, the boycott has been ap-
piled effectively only to manufactured
japanese goods-those articles that
reach this country ready for sale to
the public. A refusal to buy these
goods can have but little direct effect
on American industry. To a large ex.
tent. these articles are or can be pro-
duced in this country. although the
selling price would be somewhat
higher.
Urged by Labor Groups.
A boycott OF this type has been
urged by both the American Federation
Of Labor and the Committee for In
dustrial Organization, indicating the
spokesmen for labor believe the Amer
ican workman would not be hurt and
probably would be helped by q nan
on manufactured japanese goods.
The effectiveness of such a boycott
is doubtful, however, since substantial
stocks Of these goods already have
been acquired and the Japanese might
find other markets for such products.
Consequently, in the opinion Of econ
omists. the boycott. to be really efYec-
tive. must be extended to silk, a field
In which Japan is peculiarly vulner-
able.
Exports Of Raw Silk.
The American Council Institute Of
Pacific Affairs in the November 5
issue Of its Far Eastern Survey pointed
out that in the 10-month period from
January to October, 1887. Japanese
exports Of raw silk to this country
constituted from IS to 80 per cent of
its total export to the United States.
As against these figures, toys, manu.
factured household goods. canned foods
and similar articles amounted to only
8 per cent Of the total exports.
That silk boycott would be a seri-
Gus blow to the japanese is indicated
by figures compiled by the Department
Of Commerce. Almost half Of the
Japanese live on farms. and some
100000 families. one in every three
that live on farms. depend entirely or
to considerable extent on the silk
trade for their livelihood. In addition,
the silk reeling industry gives part
time employment to 3S0,000 japanese,
mostly women.

cipal silk market and the product Is

JAPANESE GOODS
BOYCOTT ORDERED
D. c. Chain Firms to Refuse
to Buy Products From
Country.

Two large chains OF Sand. .1O-cent
stores operating a number of estab-
lishments in Washington will boy
colt Japanese goods in future pend
ing an improvement in the relations
between Japan and the United States,
1t was announced yesterday.
Oficials of number of other S.
and-l0-cent stoles in the District said
they planned to participate in the
boycott Executives Of some Of the
department stores also announced q
policy OF refraining from additional
purchases Of articles made in japan,
Other department store officials, how
ever. withheld comment on the boy
colt.
The proposal is to refrain from any
new purchases but to dispose of stocks
already on hand. The latter in many
cases were bought and paid for from
a year to two years ago.
Discussing the boycott, the man.
ager OF one of the local Woolworth
stores said
This thing has created entirely too
much fuss among our customers, and
we will buy nothing more from Japan
Tor the time being"
Also asserting that his organization
will support the boycott, an ofncial
OF the F. & w. Grand Stores said
managers of their branches all over
the country had written to the firms
home ONCE in New York urging a
ban on additional purchases from
Japan, and that such a policy had
been adopted.
An offlcial of the McCrory stores
likewise said no japanese goods would
be purchased for the time being.
r. W. Williams, vice president of
the S. S. Kresge Co., told the Asso-
clated Press in Detroit that "our pol
Icy is to buy only merchandise that
Is acceptable to the public"
Mr.. Williams was unable to esti-
mate the volume of japanese goods
still on hand in Kresge stores. He
said. however, that merchandise for
the holiday trade was ordered and
paid for as long ago as last January
and commented that "boycotts called
suddenly against Japanes merchandise
are boycotts against American mer-
chants and not against japanese ex-
porters or manufacturers, who already
have their money"
In New York T. j. Mullin. assistant
to the president of the Woolworth
stores. said:
I'VE haven't purchased any goods
IN Japan in months He added that
the chain now has only small stock
OF japanese goods, bought before the
outbreak of hostilities in China. For
the time being at least, he said no
more will be purchased.
I'VE have bought from Japan only
merchandise that could not be found
readily in the United States" Mr..
Mullin said. These purchases rep
resent not more than per cent Of
our inventory"

Striking Blows Fatal to
Mrs. Kelly.

~ the Associated Press.
PITTSFIELD, ILL.,, Nov, 22.-The
Rev. c. E. Newton declared today on
cross-examination he recognized only
Myra Hanan," his foster-daughter,
among the persons he contended held
him prisoner while Mrs. Dennis Kelly,
45-year-old mother, was being ham
mered to death.
The Baptist minister, charged with
Staying his former Sunday school
teacher while helping her desert her
husband, was slow and deliberate in
answering the questions of States At
torney Merrill H. Johnston He seemed
very tired.
Did you recognize anyone you saw
the night Mrs. Kelly was killed?" Mr..
Johnston demanded in an aggressive
tone.
Il recognized only Myra Hanan,"
the Rev. Mr.. Newton replied.
Then, answering three successive
questions curtly, he said he did not
and could not identify the persons he
had testified were the companions of
his 37-year-old foster daughter.
Step by step, the States attorney
took the minister over the story he
had related in direct examination Sat-
urday.
Recalls Purported Confession.
Johnston, recalling the minister's
purported confession to the Shaving
asked him how he had known a ham
mer was used to kill Mrs. Kelly. He
replied he had heard Miss Hanan
discuss a hammer.
The 5l-year-old minister retold his
story OF coming for Mrs. Kelly the
night OF last July IL to aid her in
leaving her husband, rural mail car
r1er, at Paris, Mo-
In driving to Illinois, he said he
turned off the wrong road to the old
Wabash Bridge near Hannibal, Mo.
A man walking past told him the
bridge was closed, he related, and he
began to back his automobile.
1t was then, he asserted another
automobile with Miss Hanan and her
companion drove up. He said he got
out, IN response to a call from Miss
Hanan, and was seized and taken
away. Above his struggles, he declared,
he heard Mrs. Kelly scream, "Oh,
don't"
Question on Fatal Blow.
You stated to the jury you did not
strike Maybelle (Mrs. Dennis) Kelly
with hammer" Johnston asked.
Il did," the minister replied.
That you did not throw her body
into the Mississippi River?"
II certainly did"
That's all"
The minister had wry smile as he
leaned back for second and then
descended from the witness stand.

 Hunter Gets 37
 Foot Whale

Shooting a whale is more fun than shooting elephants, in the opinion of thrill-seeking big-game hunter, Joseph Lilly, who return ed from Fort Wainright, Alaska, on the steamer Yukon, yesterday. Lilly has been at Wainright and Pt. Barrow for the last two months with Jim Allen, trading post operator at Wainrigiht.
 This whale-hunting from skin boats Is the greatest hunting ex- perience i have had" averred we'll Drowned and goateed MT. Lilly. We got into these skin boats-oomiaks-and ran right up onto the backs of the four whales We shot. It feels bit funny to get so close to one of those boySw
 The largest of the whales shot by Lilly and Allen was a 37-foot- CT, and when one considers that whales run about ton to the foot-Mr. Whale assumes magni- cent proportions. Add to the whales size, the fact that he or she might waken at precisely the same instant the oomiak comes aground on his or her black back then there would be something.
 Its the stalk that's fun," de- clared Lilly. We shot our whales l2 miles offshore and camped on the ice with the Eskimos. When they would see whale, they'd cry Blow! and then 1t was case of careful stalking by oomiak and firing a bomb from thirty-inch gun weighing about 35 pounds. The whale dies within ten sec onds."
 When the kill is made, it's hap py-happy days for the Eskimo folk, Lilly explained. "Muktuk,' as the Eskimo calls the whale meat, is delicacy of delicacies.
 Lilly is not sure where his next hunt will take palce, but right now he is satisfied that he has had his greatest hunting thrill. At least, he certainly did some thing different.-Alaska Weekly.
