SURE TO CATCH ILLINOIS thaw's Boom In Iowa May Build Vp Delegation for Cannon Speaker Grows Sarcastio About Taft's Inspection. - - . CHICAGO. June 10. (Special.) Chi cago was putted up tpday by the simul taneous presence of two Presidential candidates. Just as Secretary Taft was departing for Wisconsin, "Uncle Joe" Cannon left his farm work and "hiked" hither, although he would not admit he was anxious about what that "Taft fel ler" was doing. lie was on his way to Aurora, 111., to attend the dinner to Ambassador Bryce, "I am going to this luncheon in honor of a distinguished scholar, statesman and diplomat," he said, "and why mar such an occasion with any talk or thought of politics? I've been down in Danville for some time taking It easy, chatting with my neighbors, doing chores around the house and running errands. Politics? Oh, there's nothing to say just now. It's a fine day, Isn't It? It looks as If Summer were on the wing." Holds Continuous Reception. Friends of Mr. Cannon who came with him brought the news that the Speaker Is making a campaign for Presidential honors which they believe Is decidedly more effective than the speechmaking tours of his rivals. He Is holding practically a continuous re ception in Danville for members of Congress from all parts of the country, who call to pledge their support and leave to spread Cannon doctrine where ever they go. State Senator Edward Field, manager of the Cannon boom In Illinois, made this prediction: "In my opinion the chances of Mr. Cannon's getting the Republican nom ination for President are better now than ever, and Improving every day. 1 regard it as certain he will have the Illinois delegation to the National conyentiqn solidly." Taft's "Inspection Tour." Mr. Taft will make speeches in Madi son and Milwaukee, Wis., Rock Island, 111., In Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and Kansas before returning to Wash ington, and much benefit to his Presi dential boom Is expected therefrom. Mr. Cannon was told about Mr. Taft's passing through the city and com mented with a grin on the Secretary's mission. "Yes, Taft is on a trip of 'official Inspection,' " he said. "Well, that's all right! He's Secretary of War, and of course the Army posts have to be in spected." News from Des Moines today told of a movement in Iowa for a Presidential boom for Leslie M. Shaw, which Can non men regard with favor. If Iowa Instructs her delegation for Mr. Shaw, the Cannon supporters think It -will be easy to get the delegation tor Mr. Can non after the first few ballots, and they will probably do what they can to pro mote the Shaw boom.

JAPANESE PLOT UNMASKED (Continued From First Page.) comment or facts to the discussion of Japanese-American incidents. Viscount Aokl, the Japanese Ambassador, today, as usual, denied himself to newspaper men and proclaimed against any statement emanating from the embassy relative to the reported development of strength in the opposition jarty in Japan. Ambassador Aoki is understood o take the view that there are no matters of difference between the United States and Japan which are not capable of adjust ment If allowed to be considered on their mulls. It Is said to be Uua view ttuU leads him to deprecate the publication in this country of the propaganda which is being used in Japan to influence votes in the Fall for members of the lower house of the Japanese legislative body. Wait Devlin's Report. At the State Department It was said that there were no developments in the situation, and. In fact, some surprise-was expressed that any should be expected In the near future. The report of District Attorney Devlin, of San Francisco, upon the mobbing of the Japanese restaurant and baths Is expected to reach this city within a day or two, but the conclusions have already been anticipated by tele graphic advices and brief preliminary mail advices, so that what the State Depart ment looks for when the report is at hand Is a mass of detailed testimony taken by Mr. Devlin as to the facts connected with the Incident. Certainly it Is not expected that the department's policy in this mat ter will be changed in any respect as the result of receipt of the complete report. It is pointed out also, to correct what the officials regard as the Impression to the effect that the Japanese have made much more of this San Francisco trouble than was warranted by the facts, that actually the conduct of the Japanese gov ernment in the matter has been extreme ly modest. It is true that what is re garded as the opposition press in Japan has Indulged In some rather extreme lan guage and has clamored without cause for action by their own government that would surely lead to grave consequences. Follows Precedent. As for the Japanese government itself, and In this It is believed to represent the majority of the Japanese people, it is said at the State Department that It has niir- sued such a course as is followed by every self-respecting civilized nation in dealing with cases of attacks upon their citizens in a foreign country. These cases occur frequently, and it Is said to be the rule, where they exceed the ability of the police powers, for the diplomatic repre sentative of the nation whose subjects are affected to courteously draw the attention of the general government to the situa tion. In order to guard against any exten sion of the disorder. May Postpone New Treaty. One result of the extreme newspaper agitation in San Francisco will, it Is be lieved, be the indefinite postponement of the plan to initiate negotiations this Summer looking to the conclusion of a treaty between America and Janan that should definitely regulate the immigration oi Japanese Into the United States, and it is suggested by one of the' officials that probaly this result Is exactly what was sought to be accomplished by the oppo sition agitators in Japan and on the Pa cific Coast. KUROKI SAYS WILL BE NO WAR Japanese General Scoffs at Bellicose Talk of Both Nations. SEATTLE, Wash., June 10. (Spe cial.) General Baron Kurokl, who rep resented .tho Japanese'Emperor at the Jamestown Exposition, declared here shortly before sailing on the Kaga Maru tonight for home, that no dan ger of war exists between America and Japan. "The friendship that has existed for 20 years cannot be broken by such an incident as that at San Francisco," he said. "There will be no war between Japan and America in my lifetime or In your lifetime. There may be mo mentary flurries and some - excitement engendered, but nothing serious will come of it. The sentiment of friend ship between the two countries is too deeply seated among the people to al low a small matter to provoke an open rupture." General Kurokl today gave a ban quet to a number of Seattle officials and Army officers who entertained him here. Speaking to Army men, he let drop the explanation that his cam paign in Manchuria had been evolved by the War Office at Tokio three years earlier. HE DENIES WHOLE STORY Takanashl Says Japanese of America Support Salonji. SEATTLE, Wash., June 10. A dis patch from Washington is to the ef fect that the Japanese of the Pacific Coast and the Progressives, a political party in Japan, have formed a con spiracy to overthrow the present Jap anese Ministry. Part of the 'plan is said to be to bring about anti-America demonstrations . in Japan and force Minister Hayashi, if possible, to de mand indemnity and apology for the San Francisco disturbances. Charles T. Takahashi. vice-president of the Oriental Trading Company, of this city, who went to Washington as the representative of the Japanese on the Pacific Coast, to confer with Am bassador Aokl on the proposed mutual exclusion treaty, said, regarding the dispatch from Washington reporting the alleged, conspiracy to overthrow the present administration of Japan: "The writer of the Washington dis patch begins with an amusing political blunder and ends with falsehood. He seems to have Interpreted a suggestion as a complaint. The Progressives in Japan and the Japanese of the Pacific Northwest hove nothing in common. The Progressive party is badly demor alized. Its leader, Count Okuma, re cently resigned the leadership. The party is without a leader. "It is untrue that Yamaoka went to Japan to confer with the administra tion leaders. ' nor is he the personal representative of Okuma on this Coast. He has always fought Okuma's party and supported Premier Saionjl. He was the editor of Saionjl's personal organ. "An alliance between the Progres sives and the Japanese of the Pacific Northwest is impossible. The latter are In favor of the present adminis tration in Japan and wish Viscount Aoki returned as Ambassador to the United States. We feel that he is the best Informed man on the Japanese question in the united states who Is now in the service of our government. I personally feel that it would be a severe blow to our interests to have Viscount Aoki recalled. In conclusion, I want to make clear the following facts, in refutation of conspiracy con tained in the Washington dispatch: "First, there is no conspiracy; second, there could not possibly be an alliance between the Japanese of the Pacific Not th west and the Progressive party In Japan, for the reason that our sym pathies and support in the West have always been with the present Liberal party, which is composed of the old ConstKutional and Government parties, and which has the following of Saionjl, Koura, former Premier, the man who carried the country safely through the war with Russia, and the Marquis Ito. Third. Mr. Yamaoka does not represent Count Okuma, and never had any af filiation with his party. Fourth, the Japanese of the Pacific Northwest are not opposed to Ambassador Aoki. nor have they accused him of treachery to Japanese interests. "They believe him to be the man I best equippe,i to Handle the situation., The Rose Fiesta We want all our friends to take an interest in the Carnival of the Roses. 'Tis to be an event that will do a great deal to create a better impression of our city. Of course you want to help. . CONTINUES Silks for 59c the Yard Dress Goods for Half Silks, 27 inches wide.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 10. The Japa nese Association of America emphatically denies tho cable from Tokio. which indi cates that the Japanese of the Pacloo Coast have entered into an alliance wits the "Progressives" to overthrow the pres ent ministry of Japan.

The Fort Council of the Progressives at & meeting today adopted a resolution, the substance of which was as follows: "The anti-Japanese feeling on the Pa cific Coast of the United States, especially In San Francisco, culminated in an as sault upon Japanese trading places last month, constituting a most flagrant vio lation of the rights guaranteed- by the treaty concluded upon an equal footing between the two nations. "These anti-Japanese acts are not of a temporary nature, and the Federal Gov ernment at Washington must be held re sponsible for its failure to prevent such outrages. "The attitude of our government toward that in Washington has so far been un satisfactory to the nation, and it is neces sary that proper steps should be taken by our government in order to maintain the national dignity and permanently, insure the safety of the rights and property of our compatriots in America."

The Great Northern Seattle-Bellingham local train was at 10 o'clock last night stolen from the depot, where it was left for a few minutes while the crew went to lunch, by Barkley McCutcheon, a town tough, who threw open the throttle, starting the engine north at a terrific pace. The bell was ringing and the whistle blowing madly. The train crew rushed for a speeder anl followed until it was discovered that the man at the valve had re versed the train and was returning south. He had the train under full speed, and it was only by a miracle that the pursuing crew were able to get off the track. McCutcheon later stopped the train, bringing It to .an abrupt stop and - causing a friction that nearly ignited the iron.
