Japan Considers Prohibition
of Emigration.
TO PREVENT QUARRELING
Project Km U.n 1 by Negotiations With
O'Brien and Lemleux Would
Welcome Visit From Battle
ship Fleet to Japan.
TOKIO. Nov. 30. While there has
been no further official action In connec
tion with the emigration of Japanese to
Canada and the L'nite.i States, indica
tions point to the conclusion that the
Government of Japan is ready to admit
that the arguments presented by Ambas
sador O'Brien require immediate atten
tion. Theje (s no reason to expect that
after the arrival of Baron Ishll. chief of
the Bureau of Commerce of the Foreign
Office, who was sent to the United
States as a special commissioner to In
quire Into the matter, the Japanese Gov
ernment will undertake the self-imposed
task of limiting emigration within the
bounds described by both the United
States and Canada.
Canadian Minister of Labor Lemleux.
who Is here actively studying the sub
ject, has made no formal protest, but It
is underntood he has plainly indicated
that a prompt curtailment In the number
of emigrants Is necessary. If Japan Is sin
cerely desirous of assisting her ally, in
order to avoid a serious coirVpllcatlon
with a British colony.
An editorial in the Dally Jl-Jl. which is
believed to be sometimes inspired by the
Japanese Foreign Office, says that, pre
sumably. Minister Lemleux comes to
Japan asking for the limitation of emi
gration to Canada.
Count Okuma. the veteran statesman,
who Is one of the main leaders of the op
position party and the greatest Jingo in
Japan, hitherto outspoken in regard to
the Government policy of partial restric
tion of emigration, when interviewed by
a representative of the Associated Press
aid that the Japanese government prob
ably should assist America at a time
when prejudice as well as political and
economic conditions render the emigra
tion of Japanese to that country inex
pedient. Count Okuma added that the Ameri
can battleship fleet would be welcomed
hcT.rtlly by Japan because its visit
would teud to bring the people of these
nations closer together. He desired the
Associated Press to say that the people
of Japan had never accepted the pos
sibility of war between the two coun
tries, and asserted again his Arm con
viction thai eventually the sense of
Justlco of the American people would
permit th. unrestrained immigration of
' the class of Japanese who went to
America to profit by the advanced
teaching procurable there.

Government Chnrges Violation of
Livestock Law.
Five suits were filed yesterday in the
United States Circuit Court against the
North Pacific Terminal Company by js
sistant District Attorney James Cole for
violating the law that prohibits keeping
livestock In transit In cars longer than 28
hours. The case Involves tl.e shipment
of cattle from California points over the
Southern Pacific and delivered to the
Terminal Company. A fine question of
law will be raised In this case, as to
whether the shipments were kept In the
cars over the limit prescribed by law
by the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, or whether the violation was due to
the carelessness of the Terminal Com
pany. The Federal law fixes a penalty
of J100 to J500 in each violation and should
the company be found guilty the fines will
aggregate J19.000.

Destruction of Rats Costly Tax on Shipping
Sea Captain Suggests Poisoning of Bilge-Water as an Economical Solution of Vexed Problem.
HIS thing of rats on a ship has
become a serious matter," said
s a ,:ca captain In the Imperial
Hotel yesterday. "As long as they were
merely a nuisance In themselves we paid
little attention to them, but since the doc
tors have discovered that the rat is the
principal agency by which virulent dis
eases such as the bubonic plague are
conveyed from port to port and hence
spread. all over the world, they have been
right after said rat for all they are worth.
"Rats, as everybody knows, travel from
one country to another In ships. It Is
almost impossible to keep them from
getting either on or off a ship. And even
one rat with the bubonic plague, for
Instance, 'f ne gets aboard a ship, say
ln Calcutta, will have Infected practi
cally every rat on the ship before the
vessel arrives, say. In Portland. Then If
Just one of these diseased rats gets ashore
here In Portland he gives the bubonic
plague to other rats that sooner or later
give it to others all over the city. Fleas
live on rats. The flea bites the rat. gets
the bubonic plague germs In his sys
tem and then lunches off some human
being. The result Is a case of bubonic
plague in the hospital with others sure
to follow. This of course means quaran
tine and tltr spending of thousands of dol
lars to wipe out the disease, to say
nothing of the loss In human life not only
possible but probable, and the Interfer
ence with business not only within the
city itself but with commerce with other
cities and countries. So the fat has be
come a costly proposition.
"Today the health authorities all over
the world are fumigating ships at least
once a month to kill the rats in parti
cular and Incidentally any disease germs
that may be lurking In odd corners of
the vessel. This costs a great deal of
money in the total. Taking into con
sideration the shipping of the entire
world, the cost of Inspection, of fumigat
ing In Itself, and especially the loss on
capital and In wages of having a vessel
tied up for practically half a day at
least once a month, and any one can
hardly credit the amount the Infernal rat
Is today costing humanity.
"Every vessel In practically every port
Is obliged to keep six feet away from the
wharf or dock and to use rat funnels
on all ropes leading to the shore. These
rat funnels are practically a piece of pipe
to hold the rope, and around this piece
of pipe Is a collar of sheet metal fully
three feet across. The result, as any one
can see. Is that a rat can run along the
rope In the night either to or from the
vessel till he comes to this shield of
metal, and that stops him. But the
rodents are smart. They have been seen
to swim out Into the stream or harbor
and climb up the anchor chains.
"This plan for keeping them on or off
a vessel is only partially successful. A
rat, or a nest of them, in a bale of cot
ton for Instance, will be swung ashore
or on board ship without any one know
ing It- So today we are fighting the rats
protesting against any amendment to
section 5 ot the Interstate commerce act
which will legalize pooling by carrier of
the tonnage or earnings on freight or
passenger business. The action was taken
by the league, which represents 20.000
shippers, because of the persistent rumor
that the President and the chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
favor such legislation.

Payroll In Part Cash.
BUTTE, Mont., Nov. 20. A special from
Missoula to the Miner says:
The Northern Pacific employes here will
be paid tomorrow In the usual manner
with pay checks sent out from St. Paul.
Agent Mason will take care of the checks
and will pay one-fifth cash, giving North
ern Pacific checks In denominations of S3
and $10 for the balance. Many of the
mercantile houses, however, will accept
the checks at face value. The Northern
Pacific payroll In Missoula this month
will be quite heavy and It was supposed
that the company would send out the
currency for payday.
Morning Mine Closes.
WALLACE. Idaho, Nov. 20. (Special.)
The Morning mine at Mullan, the largest
property of the Federal Group and next
to the largest In the Coeur d'Alene region,
stopped work today, despite the asser
tion recently made by the Federal offi
cials that none of Its properties would
close. The Morning mine employed about
300 men. Last year the Morning mine
shipped 313.000 tons of ore, the profits
being S2o5,000.
Loggers Are Discharged.
ABERDEEN. Wash.. Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) On account of the condition of
the money market, several camps on the
Humptulips River were closed today and
the crews discharged. There Is a big
supply of logs on hand, so that there
will be no scarcity at the mills.
Money In Idaho.
PAYETTE. Idaho, Nov. 20 The finan
cial situation here Is not as bad as it
might be, for the reason that the farm
ers have had good crops and the fruit
growers have a bountiful yield, while
prices were 'way up. There is some
difficulty in getting returns from the
East, however. A Clearing-House Associ
ation has been organized by the two
In. two ways, by trying to prevent them
going from ship to dock and from dock
to ship: and by trying to kill them on
board at least once a month by fumigat
ing the vessel, usually with sulphur
fumes.
"This burning of sulphur on board a
ship Is no joke. Counting the time It
takes to seal a vessel up properly, to
allow the fumes to reach all parts of the
ship and stay there long enough to kill
every living thing, and then the airing
of the vessels afterwards and the polish
ing of the brass work and the cleaning of
the paint, the average delay Is not less
than one day of 12 hours. As no work
of any kind can be done on board while
this Is going on the delay 1s a complete
loss to all concerned.
"The suggestion has been made to
fill the holds of a vessel with live
steam Instead of sulphur fumes, but
this Is not practical or efficient. It
would wet all the goods In the holds
and ruin many kinds of them, such as
sugar or wheat. Then, too, the sides
of the vessel, especially iron ships, are
kept cool by the outside water, and
the steam would only condense on the
sides of the ship, where many of the
germs would naturally be. So steam
can be set aside as not practical, al
though necessary and effective in the
case of fire, of course. But in case of
fire It is a question of spoiling part of
the cargo or losing not only all of it,
but the Bhip as well.
"But here enters another element In
the matter. The best of fumigation
does not always kill all the rats There
are some parts of the ship, some odd
corners sealed practically air-tight, to
which there Is but a hole through
which a rat can squeeze, and once in
here the fumes are not liable to reach
him, at least In enough quantity to kilt
him. In such a case as this, the fumi
gation Is of but comparatively little
use. One rat alive with the plague Is
almost as dangerous as a hundred, as
he Infects his fellows, just as one man
with smallpox In the public street is
practically as bad as a dozen there
Some other means In addition to what
Is being done today must be put into
practice If the rat Is to be kept out of
ships and prevented from carrying
deadly diseases, around the world.
"Another means In addition to what
Is now being tried has been suggested.
The rat cannot live without water to
drink. This he gets, as a rule, In the
hold of the ship. In the very bottom,
along the keel, to make the matter
clear to a landlubber. The timbers or
ribs of a ship are covered on both sides
just like the studding In the walls of
a house or the rafters in a roof. The
very bottom of the ship, along the keel,
is where the bilge water collec ts. It 13

vapor condenses on the inner walla of
a ship, much as It does In a cool cellar
in the Summer in a damp climate. Then
there Is the condensed steam from the
engines and the leakage from the fresh

MANY ARE GIVEN RELIEF
TREMENDOUS POPULARITY OF
SIMPLE PRESCRIPTION.
No Sufferer From Kidney Trouble
or Rheumatism Should Leave
It Untried.
That the readers of this paper ap
preciate advice when given In good
faith Is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one well-known local phar
macy supplied the Ingredients for the
"vegetable prescription" many times
within the past two weeks. The an
nouncement of this simple, harmless
mixture has certainly accomplished
much in reducing the great many
cases of kidney complaint and rheu
matism here relieving pain and mis
ery, especially, among the older popu
lation, who are always suffering more
or less with bladder and urinary trou
bles, backache and particularly rheu
matism. Another well-known druggist asks
us to continue the announcement of
the prescription. It Is doing so much
real good here, he continues, that It
would be a crime not to do so. It
can not be repeated too often, and
further states many cases of remark
able cures wrought.
The following Is the prescription, of
simple Ingredients, making a harm
less, inexpensive compound, which any
person can prepare by shaking wsell In
a bottle: Fluid Extract Dandelion,
one-half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsa
parllla, three ounces. Any first-class
drugstore will sell this small amount
of each Ingredient, and the dose for
adults is one teaspoonful to be taken
after each meal and again at bedtime.
There Is enough here to last for one
week, If taken according to directions.
Oocd results will be apparent from the
first few doses.
But unless you go to the trouble to
ask the druggist for the Dandelion and
Sarsaparilla separately, and then buy
one ounce Kargon Compound, In an
original (unopened) package, plainly
printed. Guaranteed No. 108 under Na
tional Drug Law. and mix the Kargon
with the other Ingredients at your
home, you had better not use this ef
fective prescription at all. It may be
worse than useless, perhaps even
harmful, and your money wasted.
Under no circumstances accept the
prescription all ready prepared, nor ac
cept any excuse, for offering It to you
that way. Purchase separately the
Kargon Compound, No. 108 Guarantee,
as explained above, and mix these
three Ingredients at home yourself, or
don't use at all.
banks. Most of the business Is done by
checks, which the banks are very care
ful in receiving. Portland checks for
small amounts are taken, though In some
Instances exchange Is charged. Seattle
checks are not cashed, but will be taken
by the banks for collection. Certificates
are not In use very much, as the banks
here seem to have enough money for

LONG CHASE FOR REVENGE
Unknown Japanese Shoots Despoller
of Uls Home.
FRESNO, Cal.. Nov. JO. After tracking
a man and his faithless wife for six
months, the chase extending from Seattle
to Fresno, a Japanese, whose name Is
unknown, this morning at 2 o'clock came
across the despoller of his home in the
Trilby Garden here and shot him dead.
The dead man's name was Okamato. and
the affair Is steeped In Oriental mystery,
for the man who was shot had attempted
water Is taken on board. Then there
Is the rain water. Some of this Is
bound to collect In the bilges, or very
lowest parts of the ship, down under
the lowest holds. Here the rat goes
for a drink If he can get It nowhere
else. Bilge water la proverbially bit
ter, but the rat can exist on It. It seems.
Even in oil-carriers, where the bilge
water is covered with a layer of coal
oil. rats have been seen coming off a
ship after a long voyage simply sat
urated with oil from nose to tall, no
doubt caused by diving through the oil
In the bilges to get a drink of bilge
water underneath.
"Now, It has been suggested that if
we can keep all water away from the
rat, the rat on board ship must
die sooner or later of thirst. All fresh
water can be controlled more or less
easily on board and kept from the rat,
except in the bilges. So why not
poison the bilge water and kill him
then and there? The bilges are pumped
out every so often, every four hours
on most vessels, but this leaves plenty
for the rat to drink at all times. It
has been suggested that some clj"ap
and very powerful poison that dis
solves In water be put into the bilges
of all ships In solid form? Then the
bilge water would at all times be the
biggest and most deadly rat trap on
board ship. The rat would not live 30.
seconds after taking a drink, and drink
he must, sooner or later, or die anyway.
Not only would such a poison in the
bilge water instantly kill the rat. but
It would keep his dead body from de
composing practically indefinitely. The
poison would not only kill the rat, but
also all disease germs In and on him,
for nothing organic can live under its
Influence. A barrel of some such
poison put Into the bilges of a ship
every month would go a long way
toward settling the rat question. At
least, it would do no harm to try the
experiment.
"There' are some possible dangers in
trying such a scheme. Just what poi
son or -chemicals to use Is for the doc
tors and the chemists to decide. In
case some of them that are almost In
stantaneous In action and cheap enough
for the purpose, gave off fumes or at
tacked the material of the vessel, then
some combination of chemicals, no
doubt, could be found on experiment
that would do the work on the rat and
harm neither the humans on board nor
the vessel Itself. There is another pos
sible but rather remote danger in using
poison in the bilge water. If any of it
should by any chance get Into food
stuffs, then the rat would get his. re
venge Indeed. But foodstuffs are prac
tically never put into the lower hold,
and some poison that is not danger
ous unless taken Internally could be
used, so If some of It should by any
mishap get onto machinery. Iron rails.
coal and such cargo no damage would
be done or danger Incurred.
"On the whole It would cost nrac
tically nothing to try the experiment
of poisoning the bilge water, and I
would like to see the experiment tried,
say, on 20 ships for a month or two,
and see how many rats were killed."
