Elans' Fleet In Pacific Water Be lieved by Certain Element In Japan to Mean That the United States Will Hold Out for Chin In Man churian Affair Japan Alarmed Over Negotiations Now Progressing Push China Into a Clash. Toklo, April 8. Japan la. worried over the negotiations now progressing between the United States and Russia over the status of the latter In Man churia. Sensationalists connect the arrival of the Evans fleet with the opening of these . negotiations. . A Washington dispatch says that the United States will oppose both Japan and Russia In Manchuria and insist upon unrestricted domination of the Chinese governmental affairs In Man churia. Advices from Harbin quote consul Fisher as stating that United States demands the abandonment of Japan's present status In Manchuria. The foreign office refuses to accept the alarmists' view of the situation and states Its belief that the Ameri can government is not opposed to Japan's position in Manchuria. Montana Grand Army.

Is soon to be remodeled by the Elks, and because the cost of maintaining It as on open establishment Is burdensome, the board, of managers at their regu lar meeting last evening decided to close the doors and to have everything in readines to vacate when the Elks commence changes. There are about $200 still outstand ing as delinquent membership fees. and Assistant Secretary Ormund will collect this amount, that curent In debtedness can be cleared away at a special meeting of the board on Sat urday night of this week. The amount of money delinquent and the current debts are about on an equal. These fees should be paid willingly. The members had opportunity to get something for their money and If they did not. It was their own fault. Hence he collector should have no difficulty In securing this amount before next Saturday night. The . Elks will make another pay ment on their purchase In a few days and as soon as they do they plan to Institute a radical and sweeping change In the upstairs of the build ing. The lower floor will not be touched yet for a while. Knowing this, the board has taken steps to va cate as soon as possible. All the property of the Commercial club It self, such as furniture, library, ex hibits and furnishings, will be taken In charge by Secretary Ormond and stored until further disposal Is made of It. - The two womens' clubs of the city have considerable furnltara In the building and these organizations will also be In readiness to vacate when It becomes desirable to do so. There will be another meeting of the board on Saturday night and at that time It Is hoped that the last cent of Indebtedness against the club, which totals about 11500, or a little mora, will be wiped out The club Itself holds 111 snares In , the ! TH .estimated that each share Is wortli ITIIirninii approximately tit. , By collecting much of th delinquent membership fees, and promise of about $2500 due from shares, the club will be able to pay the notes and back rent out standing against It and clear all cur rent debt, and still have a morsel left to continue with, or to be turned over to the new organisation If such a one comes Into existence. DESIRABLE BANKING LAW. AU Bankers Subscribed to Depositors' Protection Fund. Guthrie, Okla.t April 8. When the solons of the Oklahoma legislature passed a law requiring all state banks to subscribe to a fund for the pro tection of' depositors against loss through bank failures, the wise men of the east Indulged In some very flippant and cynical criticisms of the scheme, and declared that It would be failure. While th period of less than two months that has - elapsed not have been sufficient to provide a fair test, there Is every probability that the Oklahoma law has corns to stay and that other states will be forced to pass similar laws In order to protect their own banks. Whatever may be said against the law. It has served to restore public confidence In the bauks and to bring out. much money from hiding. The national banks have generally stood aloof from the law", and have suffered somewhat from the competition of the state-guaranteed banks. White there has been no remarkable rush of money from other stntes, hundreds of people have taken advantage of pro tection afforded by Oklahoma banks to send their savings here. At first, these Importations . of money were mainly small sums, but now many large corporations In other states are looking up the advantages offered by the banks of the new state, and are making propositions to deposit large sums. Most of the bankers are fight ing why of too large deposits,- fearing that the returns would not be ade quate after paying the 1 per cent pro tection assessment to the state. The banks across the state bound aries, In Kansas, Texas and Arkansas are beginning to feel the effects of the Oklahoma competition through a shrinkage of deposits. The drain has not set In heavily as yet. but with In creasing public confidence In the prac ticability and desirability of the new act, there Is no doubt that these states will. In the course of a few ears, be forced to adopt a similar measure. As those commonwealths will. In turn, act upon others, Okla homa may have started a movement that will not be completed until It lias reached from ocean to ocean and from the Canada border to the Gulf. RculilUn Win In Tacoma.
