Speaker Scorns Politics, but
Holds Reception to Con
gressmen. 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.
BROAD ENOUGH FOR ANYTHING
Governor Davidson Booms Taft Be
fore Milwaukee People.
MILWAUKEE, June 10. "Secretary of
War Taft is broad enough to fill any

et the Hotel Pfeister prior to the banquet
this evening.

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.,

Fifth, there is no disposition on our
part to demand either apology or in

people in San Francisco. Sixth, we will
continue to encourage trade relations
between the two countries, believing
that the best interests of both demand
a continuance of such relations.
Seventh, we are not and at no time
have so expressed ourselves dissatis
fied with the attitude of the State De
partment in this matter."
WILIi CONTINUE AT PEACE
Taft Has Abiding Faith We Shall
Not Fight Japan.
MILWAUKEE. Wis.. June 10. Secre
tary of War Taft, In an interview to
night, said there will be no war with
Japan. He has faith that the United
States and Japan will continue their way
along most peacefully together. The Sec
retary said:
"War with Japan! -Don't you believe it.
Never mind the news that keeps coming.
You can quote me emphatically as saying
that I have an abiding faith that the
United States and Japan will continue
their way along roost peacefully together.
Tou can rest assured of that. Never
mind the scarebead dispatches.
"The complaint of Mrs. Ayres against
officials at West Point and the report
that she has included me personally in
the affair? On this subject I have
nothing whatever to say beyond the
statement that the proper department of
the government has taken the matter
up." -
CLAIM INDEPENDENT ACTION
American Japanese Association Dis
claims Hjme Alliance.
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.
A representative or the association said
today:
The Japanese Association of America
has no alliance with the Progressives in
Japan, neither does it desire the over
throw of the present ministry. The Japa
nese of the Facilfic Coast are more inter
ested In the immigration question and are
opposed to any law or treaty that will
tend to discriminate against them.

PROGRESSIVES ASK ACTION
Party Council Says Cabinet's Attl-

TOKIO. June 10. 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."

BEULINGHAM, June 10. 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.
McCutcheon, who is 22 years old,
was very much pleased with his ex
perience, and under the excitement of
the numerous narrow escapes was very
nervous. He was taken to the city
jail and locked up.
