commission of the American Bankers'
Association at its meeting in Chicago
last week. The commission desires to

throughout the country will be invited
to appoint committees to consider the
currency question and invite discussion
over pending bills.
BLACK HAND SETS BOMBS
Three Exploded In New York, Show
ing Activity of Society.
' NEW YORK, Jan. 21. The explosion of
three bombs today attested to the acUv
ity of the so-called "Black Hand gangs
which extort money from Italians in this
cit.
One bomb was exploded, evidently by
mistake, in front of ttie Home Garden
settlement at One Hundred and Sixteenth
street and First avenue. It blew in te
doors and windows and smashed every
window in several tenement blocks
across the street, but injured no one.
Another bomb was exploded in the hall
way of a tenement in Bast Thirteenth
street, tlio owner of which had received
letters demanding tSOUO. The building
was damaged but the tenants were unin
lured.
A milk wagon ran over a third bomb
that was lying in Bast One Hundred and
Korty-ninlh street. It exploded and de
molished the wagon. The driver was un
hurt.
SHONTS AVOID THE DUTY
Bring Back Goods From Europe
Which Are Not Assessed.
NEW YORK. Jan. 21 Dutiable goods
valued at between tVXO and J1500, on
which no duty was paid when they were
brought in from Europe by Mrs. Theo
dore P. Shonts and her daughter, were
found by customs officials who made
a search in the Shonts residence yester-
d v.
It was said at the time, however, that
no effort to avoid customs duties had
been made when the family arrived, that
the 2 trunks which they brought in were
thoroughly examined by the customs offi
cers and that the only reason- duty was
not paid was that none had been as
scssed. It is said that the report to the
customs officials was made in a spirit of
spite by a woman servant, who had been
discharged for cause, and Mr. Shonts
regards the report as proved by yester
days Investigation to have been un
founded.

ABOUT FINISH THE BILL
COMMITTEE FRAMES CONSTAB
ULARY MEASURE.
Expected to Pass the Senate, but
Trouble and Delays Are Looked
For In the Lower House.
CARSON, Nev., Jan. 21. The special
committee appointed by the Nevada
Legislature to frame a bill relieving
the Federal troops and placing the po
licing of Goldfleld in the hands of the
state authorities has about finished its
work.
The bill calls for a state constabu
lary commission, composed of the Gov
ernor, the Lieutenant-Governor and
Attorney-General, with the Governor
in command. A chief of staff will be
appointed, who will tn turn appoint
35 deputies in case of riot in any sec
tion of the state. . This force may be
increased to cope with the situation.
The question as to the maximum and
minimum number of deputies and their
pay is to be settled at the meeting of
the committee before the bill is pre
sented to the Senate.
In the Senate the supporters of the
bill say there will be no hitch. This
leaves the Assembly to fight out the
matter.
This bill is to be presented soon. Sev
eral members of the Assembly have
publicly announced that they will de
mand a full explanation or tne bill
from the floor of the House and also
call upon members of the Miners'
Union and other bodies of laborers for
their opinions. This will delay the
measure when presented and it Is con
ceded that the full 20 days allowed for
the. special session will be consumed.
There is grave doubt as to the Con
stabulary measure passing the lower
House. There is a general feeling of
discontent among the members who
were not included in the special com
mittee. Each day of delay is regarded
as a serious block in the way of re
lieving the Goldfleld situation.
RESOLUTIONS ARE PASSED
Treaty, Transferring Congo to Bel-
gium Denounced and Great Brit
ain Called Upon to See Re
forms Are Brought About.
LONDON, Jan. 21. There was a meet
ing in this city today of the Congo Re
form Association under the presidency
of Lord Monkswell at which a more ac
tive campaign was decided upon. The
association adopted resolutions which will
be communicated to Secretary Root and
the Congo Reform Associations in the
United States inviting active 'co-operation.
The resolutions denounce roundly the
proposed treaty for the transfer of the
Congo Independent State to Belgium and
demand that the British government pro
claim an early time limit within which
Belgium must produce a plan of annexa
tion providing guarantees of a complete
reversal of the claims and practices of
the existing system, restoration to the
natives of their rights and abrogation of
slavery and forced labor. If Belgium
does not adopt such a scheme, the reso
lutions declare, the British government
should appeal to the powers for- joint ac
tion.
These resolutions " are Intended ' to
strengthen the hands of Sir Edward Grey,
the British Foreign Secretary, who is
only awaiting definite action by the Bel
gian government and chamber before in

THE DAY'S DEATH RECORD
John H. Wagner, Chicago.
CHICAGO. Jan. 21.-John H. "Wagner, 72
years old, a prominent architect and en
gineer of Chicago for years, died yester
day at his home in Bimhurst.. He came
to Chicago from Canada in pioneer days
and took an active part in the city's
growth. He served throughout the Civil
War as a member of the Second Minne
sota Volunteers. Mr. Wagner retired
from active life a year ago.
hearted at the best, and have prepared
to organize every precinct in the state for
William J. Bryan. The movement has
been on foot for several months, but did
not take definite shape until Tuesday
night's meeting of the State Central Com
mittee at Lincoln, when Mayor Dahlman,
of this city, made public this part of his
programme.
The Mayor is back in Omaha. He de
clares that every man in Nebraska who
has ever voted for a reform candidate
will be personally solicited for Bryan.
"What was once considered the majority
party of the state the Populists will be
wheeled into line so far as the machin
ery of the Democratic organization is
able to influence that once strong ele
ment in Nebraska politics. In every pre
cinct will be organized a branch of the
"Bryan volunteers" and the machinery is
to be oiled as it has never before been
lubricated. Plenty of money, it is stated.
will be in the hands of the promoters of
the movement.
The fuct that William J. Bryan has not
been able to carry his own state on either
occasion when he has led the Democratic
hosts on their National ticket, has not
been a pleasant remembrance for Nebras
ka leaders. - Dahlman feels that there
are enough voters in Nebraska favoring
Bryan's election to carry uie state for
him in November. He figures this out
on the basis of votes cast for Silas A.
Holcomb for Governor, when the fusion
forces of the Democrats and Populists
elected a full state ticket twice in suc
cession. The cowboy Mayor declares
Bryan can now get every vote cast for
the fusion ticket at that time. He also
calls attention to the unity in the party
ranks of- the state, which he declares is
stronger than it has been in the history
of Nebraska Democracy.
The Republican leaders are well alive
to the movement planned by their Demo
cratic, opponents. One leading Omaha
Republican expressed the belief that Bry
an would make the fight of .his life to
carry his own state, giving more of his
attention to campaigning at home than
he has done in former campaigns. He
considers that Taft is the only man who
will have any chance to win out against
the popular Nebraskan In this state.

Authorities Break Up a Parade
Formed of Audience at Socialist
ic Meeting and Make Arrests.
BERLIN. Jan. 21. There was a ser
ious collision late today between the
police of this city and a mob of unem
ployed men who earlier In the day
nad attended a meeting addressed by
Socialists. The police used their
sabers freely and the crowd hurled
missiles at them.
The demonstrants, when they en
countered the police, were marching
down the Schlffbauerdamm. near the
Lustgarten. The authorities tried to
ddsner3e them. The man at once took
up a posttlon around several piles of
tiles before a new theater building
and began hurling tiles at the police,
The policemen were reinforced by a
mounted detachment, which charged
the crowd with drawn sabers.
At the height of the encounter there
was heard a detonation which un
doubtedly was some sort of a Are
cracker set off by a boy. The police,
however, thought that a revolver had
been fired and they acted in the most
energetic manner. The police on foot
drove the manlfestants, numbering
2000. mostlv young men and boys,
Into the mounted squad, and the latter
made most vigorous use of their
weapons. Many of the men were ar
rested and the remainder were driven
and scattered.
Five mass meetings of the unem
ployed, organized by the Socialists,
were held today in the outlying districts-.
Fully 15,000 men were in at
tendance. Strong detachments of po
lice armed with sabers and revolvers
were stationed in the vicinity. In
terference was not necessary, how
ever, as the meetings were orderly.
Socialist members of the Reichstag
addressed the assemblies and called
upon the state and municipality to
provide employment and afford means
for those without work to gain a live
lihood. They declared that among the
unemployed in Berlin, there were 24,
826 skilled artisans belonging to trades
unions, this in addition to many thous
ands of unorganized and unskilled la
borers. At the conclusion of the ad
dresses the men left the meetings in
groups, marching to various quarters
of the city.

son, who has been traveling in several
Western States for several months, work

Senator Sanborne's estimate of 223 votes
for La Follette on the first ballot is con
servative. "I think Oregon, Washington. Idaho,
South Dakota and Minnesota will send
I.a Follette delegates without question.
If time would suffice for Senator La
Folletto to reach the people, his nomina
tion would be certain. J. D. Story, of

must bear in mind that the question is
one affecting' not only Canada, but, as a
result of the Anglo-Japanese alliance,

Japan Will Restrict Emigration.
"I ask Parliament to trust the represen

this matter. The written assurance I
have received from the Minister of For

is the best evidence that the new arrange

The document containing this assurance
is dated at Tokio, December 23, 1907, and
is signed by Baron Hayashi. It says:

No Contract Laborers.
A series of most stringent regulations,
accompanied by Instructions addressed to
the local Governor and the Consuls in
Canada, accompanied Baron Hayashi's
letter. These regulations Mr. Lemieux
could not make public except to say they
were satisfactory to Canada. One feature
was that all immigration of contract la
borers, artisans included, was prohibited.
"After all. there were only two alter
natives." said Mr. Ijemlcux in conclusion.
"Canada must abrogate the treaty or ac
cept the arrangement. Exclusion wouid
mean a serious break in the treaty alli
ance between Canada and Japan."
RESTRICTIONS OX EMIGRATION
Hayashi Tells of Measures to Keep
Coolies From America.
TOKIO, Jan. 21. Viscount Hayashi.
Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs, in
an interview today, made a statement
concerning the emigration question which
may be considered as an official declara
tion of the attitude of the government,- it
lutving been prepared for publication in
Japan, anticipating a similar statement In
the Diet. Minister Hayashi said:
"The government of Japan is deter
mined' to investigate the personal stand
ing of those that go to America as stu
dents, requiring two sureties for each be
fore they leave. We realize that the emi
gration of laborers pretending to be stu
dents Is liable to be embarrassing to
America, and therefore we are deter
mined to prevent the emigration of la
borers. "While the proposed restrictions may be
embarrassing to real students, all legal
restrictions will be made alike because
one dishonest person may embarrass
many who are honest.
"Although the negotiations with Ameri
ca have not yet been concluded, I make
the definite statement, as Minister of For
eign Affairs, that the rumors which have
been circulated to the effect that any im
portant question is pending between
America and Japan is a fabrication, orig
inating in a certain section of the United
States.
"Should emigration to Hawaii not be
prevented entirely, the Minister of For
eign Affairs will not hesitate-to prohibit
entirely Japanese emigration to those
islands.
"The Foreign Office Intends to pro
hibit emigration to Mexico. Those who
desire to send emigrants to Mexico
will be regarded as assisting emigrants
to tenter the United States through
the frontier, and therefore they will be
treated as lawbreakers.
"Resolutions condemning the govern
ment's, attitude are unfair, because we
have adopted a definite policy, and any
agitation on our part will intensify
suspicion in the United States and re
sult to our disadvantage. The con
sideration of. our commercial interests
alone would Justify our policy in re
gard to foreign relations. Its miscon
ception by politicians is disadvan
tageous to our state. Our present
policy Is fully justified from the stnnd-
point of the fundamental principles of
international relations."
The Progressive and Yukon parties
have formally presented in the House a
motion of want of confidence in the Im
perial Cabinet, based upon the alleged
faulty financial measure. Should the op
position members of the Daido Club join
with them in support of the motion, they
would form a very formidable power.
The indications are that the opposition
will not carry the motion.
