MARTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED

Throughout Empire.
TOKIO, Sept. 7. (4 P. 31.) U Is re
ported thnt tliere Is rlotinjr In Cblbn, a
tovrn of 20,000, SO inlleH mnt of Toklo.
The prcfectoral building: and the Conrt
houac are reported to tanvc been burned.
The Kvernment haw Kuspeniled the
farther publication of the Xlrokti, a
ncwwpnper printed in Toklo.
TOKIO. Sept 8. (Special.) Martial law
ha been declared throughout Japan and
the full power of the army 1s being used
to uphold the Mutsuhlto dynasty and put
down rioting, which threatens to Involve
the entire nation.
Rioting was resumed throughout the
country Thursday night and mobs
swarmed through the streets of this and
other cities, burning and destroying
homos, churches and schools of native
Christians.
It is reported, although not confirmed,
that tho few mission churches and schools
that orcaped the vengeance of the mobs
Wednesday night arc now destroyed.
The temper of the mob is- shown by the
6ct that there arc now more than 200
badly wounded policemen in tho hospitals
and more being taken there hourly. What
the casualties were to the crowds cannot
be estimated, as many of the hurt were
carried off by friends.
As soon as the -widespread character of
th rioting was known, a, council was
railed at the palace and a few minutes
later an Imperial ordinance declaring mar.
tWU law throughout Japan was promul
gated. Orders were sent to the command
ers of the various detachments of Imper
ial guards to immediately suppress riot
ing and they wore marched to the for
eign legations and government buildings.
A cordon was established around the for
eign quarter and all government build
ings were barricaded and cannon mounted
commanding the approaches. This radical
action has temporarily checked the riot
ing, but the temper of the mob Is still
very blttor and more lighting is mo
montarlly expected.
The change in the sontlmcnt of the
Japanese towards Americans is marvelous.
Ten days ago the United States was
looked upon as Japan's best friend and
the appearance of an American on the
streets was greeted with cheers. Today
the people are furious against the United
Stales and would burn the American Le
gation here were it not guarded by a
large military force. The charge is openly
made by the mob leaders and followers
of tho "Young Japan" movement that
President Roosevelt tricked the Japa
nese envoys Into adopting humiliating
terms of pooce In order to prevent Japa
nese competition with American trade in
China.
This feature adds to the gravity of the
rturation hore, although, if the army re
mains loyal, tho disturbance will oon
be put down. .
TWENTY WOUNDED IN CONFLICT
Guard's Tiniely Threat of Suicide.
Crowds Attack Police.
TOKIO, Sopt. E. (6 A. M.) Thirteen
oars and one railway kiosk were de
stroyed by rioters last night. Twenty
persons were wounded during the
clashes with the police and many oth
ers were slightly wounded by stones
in the crushes of the crowds.
The disturbance i nthe Kanda. dis
trict of the city proved not to be serl
uh. Tho crowd first threatened to
burn the Russian cathedral, but a ser
geant of the guard cleverly prevailed
upon It to desist by saying that, if the
cathedral were destroyed, he and tho
guard would commit suicide. The
crowd agreed not to touoh the ca
thedral.
There was considerable disorder and
noise In the district, but there was no
destruction of property and no serious
clashes between them and the police.
Demonstrations against the metro
polltan police headquarters continued
until a late hour. Crowds swarmed
around the Jail and hooted and threat
ened. The newspapers generally as
sail the police authorities for with
drawing street patrols and leaving the
olty unprotected.
Soldiers are proving to be more ef
fective than the police in handling the
crowds. The soldiers are popular and
the crowds generally obey their orders.
Accompanying the ordinance declar
Ing martial law is an urgency ordi
nance Increasing restrictions on the
press and giving authority lor the sus
pension o papers guilty of increasing
the excitement and other breaches of
order. Under this ordinance the gov
ernment has suspended the publication
of the Mlyako, the Yurou and the Ni
roku. .
The Tokio municipality, has passed a
resolution denouncing the terms and
favoring the abandonment of the peace
treaty.
The municipality had planend a mass
meeting at Hibaya Park today, hut on
account of the danger of disorder, vol
untarily canceled the meeting. j
WILL XOT INFLUENCE MIKADO
Komura Says Riots Cannot Prevent
Approval of Treaty.
NEW YORK, Sept. 7. Baron Komura
said today that his coming interview with
Mr. Root, -which he expected -would oc
cur in New York City either Friday or
Saturday this week, would be purely a
formal exchange of courtesies and that
their meeting had no other object.
The Baron denied emphatically the
rumor that the Emperor of Japan had
not yet given his -approval to the peace
treaty, or that the powers of the Japanese
plenipotentiaries were so limited that
at this late hour there was any possibil
ity that the Emperor will Xall to ratify
the treaty.
"The present disturbances In Toklo."
he said, "cannot in the slightest degree
Influence the Emperor's determination to
ratify the treaty when he receives,, an
official copy of it."
Baron Komura reiterated his opinion
that the disturbances in Toklo -were di
rected against the local branches of the
government.
TOKIO SETTLES DOWN AGAIN

TOKIO, Sept 7. 5 P. M.) Toklo has

BURNS koUSE OF JIINISTElt
Mob Shows Hatred of Treaty by
Driving. Off Police. - ,
TOKIO. Sept. 5. (Delayed In transmis
sion.) Serious rioting followed the attack
on the office of the Kokumln Shlmbun.
the government organ. A mob attacked
and burned the official residence of the
Minister of Home Affairs, which stood
between the Nobles Club and the Im
perial Hotel and faced Hibaya Park,
which was the storm center throughout
the day. Threatening demonstrations oc
curred In the neighborhood of the official
homes of Premier Katsura and Baron
Komura, Foreign Minister, who Ib now In
the United States, but the police suc
ceeded in preventing Injury to the occu
pants or damage to the house.
The situation tonight is threatening.
Turbulent crowds fill tho streets, and It
Is feared much damage to property Is
possible under the cover of the darkness.
All the police reserves are performing ur
gent duty and heavily guarding danger
ous spots. The streets in the neighbor
hood of the Kokumln Shlmbun arc closed,
and 200 police form, a cordon around the
office.
The destruction of the Home Minister's
xcsldonce -was Intensely dramatic.
Throughout the day a series of demon
strations occurred in the neighborhood of
the building, and late in the afternoon
the mob attacked the house, swept tho
police away and battered down the gates.
The police and servants resisted stoutly,
but the mob surged forward and entered
the house. One of the mob loaders car
rying an armful of burning straw gained
the rear of the structure and succeded In
setting It on lire. The police reserves
charged the crowd, using their swords
freely, but the mob rallied from several
Quarters and stoned the firemen -when
they arrived. Tho members of the Min
ister's household were rescued and es
corted to the Imperial Hotel. When
darkness came the flames from the burn
ing building Illuminated a menacing
scene, the mob hooting and throwing
stones at the police and firemen, .repeat
edly clearing the streets.
Accurate figures of the casualties are
not obtainable. It is known, however,
that one man was killed, that 14 -were
mortally -wounded by sword-thrusts and
that many persons wore bruised with
atones and injured in the crushes.
Another demonstration is planned for
September S, and it Is believed that the
strongest measures will be necessary to
prevent serious rioting and bloodshed.
A member of the mob which burned
the Home Minister's residence said to the
correspondent of the Associated Press:
"We burned the house for the purpose
of attracting tho attention of the Em
peror. We want him to refuse to ratify
the treaty. We believe that those sur
rounding him prevent him from correctly
understanding the popular attitude toward
the disgraceful, humiliating peace."
PRESIDENT LEARNS OF RIOTS
Seriously Concerned Over Situation
Which Develops.
OTSTER BAY, Sept. 7. Not until late
this evening did the President learn of
the serious disturbances . in Toklo. The
information was in the form of a dis
patch to the Associated Press. He ex
pressed concern over the situation that
had developed over the riots, but made
no comments on them.
Thus far, It is said officially, no advices'
have been received from Minister Griscom
at Toklo, or from any other official source
la Japan regarding the anti-peace demon
strations. Such advices as might be re
ceived naturally would go to the State
Department, but it Is quite certain that
any information of a serious character
would be transmitted immediately to the
President. No such advices have yet
reached President Roosevelt.
The President was absent from Saga
more Hill during tho entire day. About
9 o'clock this morning, accompanied by
Mrs. Roosevelt and their children and by
several other members of the Roosevelt
family who reside In the vicinity of Sag
amore Hill, he left his home for an out
ing. The party spent the day at Jaynos
Hill and did not return home until about
6 o'clock this evening.

Intensely dramatic scones were enacted'
at the sessions of the first biennial con
vention of the National Association of
Letter-Carriers yesterday In the Armory.
Charges of financial mismanagement and
official misconduct were hurled about tho
Auditorium, In which the convention
meets, and the whole of the aftornoon
and evening sessions wore given up to
the statements of Secretary E. J. Cant
well and President J. C. Keller, interrog
atories of delegates and responses by
these officials and 'members of the ex
ecutive board, terminating in an unex
pected climax, when President Keller
apologized to the convention If by any
act or word of his the good name of Sec
retary Cantwell had been tarnished, and
making tho apology a personal one. ad
vanced across the platform with extended
hand, which the secretary grasped, and
the two men stood in this attitude of
union while the assembled letter-carriers
made the building tremble with an out
burst, of apoljiyjf?.
Report Starts the Trouble.
It was when the report of the executive
committee was submitted that the roost
bltter'debate In the history of the organi
zation was precipitated. For months there
havebeen occasional dispatches published
throughout the land hinting at internal
dissension in the National Association of
Letter-Carriers and bearing upon the re
lations existing between the organization
and officers of tho government. The
clouds that have been gathering for years
within the official circle and membership
were concentrated yesterday on the plat
form of the convention and the flood was
one of explanation and recital of details
Involved in the accusations that have
been bandied about in Washington. New
York and the larger cities concerning the
conduct of the association affairs. The
storm was followed by the sunshine of a
united membership, determined to select
strong men to occupy official position
and make it more effectively than ever
before a benefit to the lotter-carrlors of
the country and better qualified to secure
action from Congress on the salary bill
that has been the object of association
effort.
Calls Attention to Omission.
The report of the executive committee
was brought into debate when J. Hlner
wadel, of New York, called attention to
the omission or-any statement that he
had resigned and his place had been filled
by David Geary, of Chicago. He averred
that he had refused to serve longer be
cause he had found treachery existed and
that politics was considered rather than
the good of the organization. He alleged
that tho copies of records of Investiga
tions made of the secretary's office had
been stolen from his grip while he was
en route to Portland, and that he had in
tended fully to acquaint the delegates
with the facts of that Investigation with
the report.
Secretary Cantwell was accorded the
floor Immediately upon convening of the
afternoon session. Ho presented an ex
haustive report reviewing the whole con
troversy of the past two years, in which
his own good name had been assailed and
his reputation smirched by allegations
and groundless assertions. He had ac
cumulated a vast amount of evidence
in substantiation of his assertions, In
cluding numerous statements of well
known members, and affidavits in support
of the same. It was of a convincing
character and when he concluded, after
almost three hours before the conven
tion, he was accorded a tremendous ova
tion In prolonged cheering of the dele
gates, hats were tossed ceillngward and
other manifestations of joy that the be
loved secretary had made such a strong
showing in his own behalf. It was charged
In the report without equivocation that
he firmly believed the president and S.
W. Shepard, acting secretary during the
time that Secretary Cantwell was la'
Colorado, i?ad become parties to a con
spiracy for his removal.
President Keller's Statement.
President Keller was then recognized
by Vlv-Presldent Bunton, and asked an
opportunity to be heard. Several dele
gates were seeking .recognition and Sec
retary Cantwell, evidently thinking they
were not willing to accord the president
the privilege, requested that President
Keller be heard, saying that in his Judg
ment tno delegates snouid near every
thing that might be offered, and that
there might be facts that President Keller
could produce with which He was him
self unfamiliar. Then the time for the
address of the president was fixed for
opening of the evening session and re
cesg -was taken.
President Keller also was fortified with
aa abundance of correspondence and data,
and. when he started to explain his con
nection with the affairs. Reviewed delib
erately the history of his official labors,
conversations with Individuals and par
ticularly what Acting Secretary S. W.
Shepard had repeated to him as the lan
guage of Secretary Cantwell concerning
himself. He stated that he had officially
ordered Shepard to attend the Portland
session and that his expenses would be
paid, but Mr. Shepard had not responded.
In the most unqualified terms Be declared
that he had never at any time been a
party to any conspiracy, agreement M0f
understanding having for Its object" the
removal of Secretary CantwoifP' lessen
ing the personal stawJiasyoY that gentle
man, and expressed the- deepest regrot
that any act or language of his might
have been io construed. He spoke feel
ingly and flimly when he offered apology
to Secretary, Cantwell and extended the
hand of fellowship, asking that the chasm
between them might be bridged with bet-'
ter feeling, the two looked each other
squarely In the face, and then clasped
hands.
Repetition of Idle Rumor.
With abundance of evidence submitted
by both men the delegates soon began to
analyze it and it was the opinion that
much of the difficulty that has beset the
organization Is chargeable to the effort
of over-zealous rcpltltlon of. Idle rumor
and disposition to create alarm where
no occasion for such alarm exists. f
In closing his remarks President
Keller declared that h believed a thor
ough Investigation should be made, not
only on behalf of the Indlvldualsln
volveJ. and that It Is his own. intention"
to go to the courts to seek aHmeansrSt
finding out whence the sensatlonal'stb
rles clroulated originated.
On motion of Delegate Patton. of
Philadelphia, a vote of confidence in the
ability, honesty and faithful perform
ance of duty of Secretary Cantwell was
amended to Include appropriation of
5750 to cover the expense to which tho
secretary had been, put in accumulating
evidence to exonerate himself. The mo
tion was adopted without a dissenting
vote.
Likewise a motion was made to ex
onerate President Keller from blame In
the matter, which was also adopted,
and adjournment taken to this morn
ing. Today there will bo but on session
In the forenoon, and the day will bo
devoted principally to tha Exposition.
This morning- the report will be re
ceived from the committee on nomina
tions, and ballots will be cast tomorrow
for selection of men who will guide the
association in a new epoch that is to
dato from the Portland session."

him along. They also took along several
bottles of beer.
"Arriving at Mrs. Wright's rooms, they
proceeded to have- some music. After
their arrival other parties also came In.
To heighten the entertainment, some of
the parties went over to a variety theater
and brought back two musical perform-,
ers, and a female Impersonator.
Music and Much Beer.
"The company now consisted of about
dozen persons. Music upon various in
struments was furnished and vocal ef
forts la many keys. Beer and whisky
were summoned from a nearby saloon In
copious quantities. They danced the
waltz, two-step. Jigs, cake walk and other
wise amused themselves, while the Im
personator gave a variety of perform
ances.
"There Is soma conflict In the evidence
as to the amount of noise accompanying
this entertainment the respondents
claiming that It was very orderly and
comparatively quiet, while appellant's
witnesses describe it as being exceeding
ly boisterous. Anyway, sometime after
midnight other tenants In the building
complained vigorously to the landlord,
this appellant, about the noise in Mrs.
Wright's apartments, and finally appel
lant told respondents that the disturbance
must cease or ho would call In the police.
Respondents fix the hour of this as 1
A. M. Other evidence places it at about
A. M."
Letter That Daniel Wrote.
The opinion then relates that the next
day Daniel left In Wright's rooms a
letter, whlcli Is given In full. The leading
feature of this letter Is the statement
that "lajit night you held a war-danco
and carried on at a rate that would be
a disgrace to tho 'Comlque,' or the worst
dancehall In tho city."
This letter Daniel showed to another
lodger, and the Wrights, hearing of It,
concluded that they had been libeled by
the reference to the dancehalls, and
brought theTr suit with the above result
In the lower court.
Kb A.uthorly on Dancehalls.
The Supreme Court modestly confesses
to a lack of Information "as to the char-
actor or reputation of the 'Comlque.' or
as to how bad .the dancehalls are In Spo
kane, or as to whether there are any."
There was nothing In the complaint In tho
nature of Inducement, colloquium or In
nuendo, so the Supreme Court concludes
as follows:
"Owing to the character of the facts re
vealed In the evidence In this case, we
do not conceive that a discussion of them
would be edifying or essential.
"In view of the form of the complaint
and considering merely the evidence ad
duced on the part ot .respondents, and
that on appellant's behalf, which was un
contradicted, we are led to believe that
the ends, of Justice will bo subserved by
a dismissal of this action. The Judgment
of the honorable Superior Court is re
versed, with directions to dismiss
action."

HIS TALE OF BITTER WRONG
Gas Magnate Says He "Will Still Go

A
Words on the Man. Put
in as a Filler;
J
OREGONTAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Sept. 7. "I am 64 years old
and a victim of the felicitous reputation
given me by the newspapers, but I am
going to the United States Senate from
Delaware." declared J. Edward Addicks
at the close of a midnight interview in
Philadelphia, in which ho most scathing
ly arraigned Senator Allee for having
publicly announced that hereafter the
Delaware Republican organization will
not support Addicks for Senator. Allee
Is now chairman of the Republican Btate
organization, though he was up to a few
weeks ago Addicks' best iriend and work
ed faithfully for many years to bring
about the election of the gas magnate,
but Addicks' money is gone, his power is
gone, it became apparent that his last
chance of securing election was gone, and
Allee. with practically tho entire Addicks
organization, deserted his former leader.
This brought out Addicks' interview, ia
which he said:
Calls Alice a Traitor.
"There Is nothing the people of Dela
ware scorn and despise as much as they
do treachery. For a traitor there Is noth
ing but contempt of all the people of the
state. Frank Allee has at last revealed
himself in his true colors, but he will not
know the awful price ho must pay for
his treachery to me until he goes out to
face a state fall of people all of whom
will despise him for the traitor that ho
Is."
"When I took up Frank Allee he was
a poor Jeweler In Dover. I gavo him
wealth, power and position, and now he
pales before the possibility of defeat and
exposes himself for the traitor that be Is.
For two years, reports have been coming
to me that he Intended to make himself
a Benedict Arnold. I never paid any
attention to them until Just recently.
Only a Filler In Senate.
"Frank Allee never had the slightest
claim to the United States Senatorshlp. I
gave him his scat in the Senate, Just
as I gavo him his horses, his bank stock
and hlB silver inlaid hail-piece. He was
not qualified for the place either Intellec
tually or politically, and I gave It to him
simply because the place needed a filler.
It was In these circumstances that Allee
went to Washington.
"Ho and his son get $7200 a year out
of his Senatorshlp, and with other rela
tives that he has landed In Federal places
the Allee family is now drawing about
512,000 a year out of the Government
Treasury. Frank Allee and his relatives
need that money they need it to live on.
Allee cannot face the prospect, after his
term In the Senate ends, of again becom
ing a poor Dover Jeweler.
Alice's Deal With Lea.
"Now, Lea wants to go to the Senate
from Delaware, and he has cooked up
this scheme with Allee. Allee needs his
Senatorshlp for the sake of the bread
and butter he and his relatives must
have, and because he wants to hang on
to the $12,000 annually that the Allee fam
ily la drawing In salaries. He made his
deal with Lea to throw me, hold on to
his own Job, and help land Lea as the
other Senator from Delaware.
"That's the explanation of It. This fel
Jow who drives my horses, votes my
bank stock and hangs his hat on mj; sil
ver Inlaid hat-rack, can't face the possi
bility of losing hl3 Job and turns traitor
In order to hold on to a place to which
ha was never entitled.
"When Allee went to Washington to sit
In the Senate chamber, he went there
with my tag on. Every man In the Sen
ate knew that Allee was there merely as
a filler and through -my generosity. He
has never been anything but a filler since
he went there. Next Winter he must go
back to Washington and walk In among
the Senators. Every man with whom he
comes In contact will look at him and,
while he may not say it out loud, he will
think:
" There Is Allee, the man who has
tried to sell out Addicks.'
Says All Will Despise Allee.
"Despised as he will be In Delaware,
he will be even more thoroughly despised
In the Senate chamber, which Is filled
with big men, every one of whom knows
Just how thoroughly God Almighty hate3
a quitter.
"It's a sorry sight and an awful pros
pect, but Allee has only himself to blame.
He didn't have the manly courage to ba
straight and he will have to pay the pen
alty of his treachery, and It will be a
penalty of derision and contempt visited
upon him wherever he goes."
Allee Makes Xo Reply.
Senator Allee makes no comment on
Addicks interview, further than to say:
"There Is nothing -more to say. I have
simply stated my position and don't pro
pose to wear out the patience of Che
public by a personal fight."
In. Delaware political circles, Addicks
Interview is regarded as his swan song.
