He I suoreded here by Jokichi I way a, who tv as formerly fecrtary to Japanese Con-Fitl-Genrral C. Koike, stationed at San Jrraniscc. The new vice-consul is a well cdiicn ted man, having graduated from the Sapporo Agricultural College of Japan, and besides is well schooled In diplomacy. The recall f Vice-Consul Alba at this time is significant when it is remembered that it is less than two months since the Seattle consul of Japan took a leave of absence and suddenly left for Tokio, whence he . did not return. It has been only three months since Consul-General K. Uycno. of San Francisco, "was recalled and the present consul-general put in Ills place. Mr. Vyeno is now stationed at Sidney. New South "Wales. Australia. T. Tanaka had been the consul at Se attle for four years before he was suc ceeded by S. Hisamfdzi, the present con sul. The Japanese Ambassador at "Washington was recalled only recently. Wr-Consul Alba was employed In the Japanese foreign -office at Tokio for six months prior to coming to the Pacific Coast, Following his service at Tokio he was employed for five months a sec retary to the consul-general at San Fran cisco. His family await him at Tokio. When asked yesterday as to the signiff cunce of his recall. Mr. Alba said he knew nothing except that he received a cablegram last week telling him to re turn nt once. Tie said that ho had been peeking a change for several months, as he. wishes to see his family again and to have a rest. lie considers this an answer to his expressed desire. Whether promotion is in store for him he could not say. but other Japanese who know of his departure assert that this is prob able. At R o'clock next Monday night a meet ing of the Portland Japanese will be held in the T. M. C A. auditorium, when the regrets of the local natives of the Sunrise Kingdom will be expressed at the parting with Mr. Aiba, and a cordial welcome extended to Mr. I way a.

Koudo having attended to tho securing of the hall. The speeches will be entirely In Japanese. Mr. Aiba's residence in Portland has been a pleasant one. He speaks Kngllsh fluently and has a thorough understand ing of American institutions. He has made many friends among both Japanese and Americans, who will regret his departure. FIRE CHIEF CONSULTED Allowed to Give His Views on F.Iectric Alarm lanchise. David Campbell, chief of the fire de partment, seriously objects to any but members of the department, or persons duly authorized by he city, having ac cess to the Are alarm apparatus, and his recommendations on the subject in all probability are to be incorporated in the franchise asked of the Council by the National Automatic Fire Alarm Com pany. In the opinion of Chief Campbell and City Electrician Savarian, there are serious objections to granting certain privileges asked by the company, and these may defeat the passage of the franchise ordinance. Chief Campbell -would have the auto matic boxes at least 300 feet distant from the regular tiro alarm boxes, and he objects to any but city employees having permission to work on the wires. He also Insists that the thermostat system, used by the automatic company, is very un satisfactory, at present. Too many false alarms are sent in by it, he declares. The ordinance was referred back to the streets committee. Special Council Meeting. There will be a special meeting of the City Council next Saturday at 2 P. M. for the purpose of acting upon the annual apportionments recommended by the ways and means committee, for the vari ous city departments. There was such a press of business at the session of the Council yesterday afternoon that it was found impracticable to attempt to ad Just the ways and means committee's ap portionments at that session. It Is pre dicted by some that a good many changes will be made, and considerable pruning done. WITHERSPOON IN RECITAL Famous Basso Appears at the Jleilig Xext Week. Next Wednesday evening.

FINDS EQUINE PATRIARCH Renews Acquaintance With Family Mule After 30 Years. Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Ferrell have re turned to their home, 761 East Yamhill street, after spending three months in North Carolina. Texas, New Mexico and other cities in the East. They first went to North Carolina, which is Mr. Ferrell's home state and from which -he had been absent over 30 years. He found many of the landmarks still remaining, but the most remarkable relic of the past he hap pened upon was & mule 40 years old which was once owned by his lather. Mr. ar- rell is three years older than this mule and 30-odd years ago used to ride the animal. The mule is probably the oldest in the United States, and bids fair to live another 10 years. He still does light work in the cotton fields. While the trip was full of Interest Mr. Ferrell prefers Oregon. He says that the people of North Carolina are not pro gressive. They own farms averaging 300 acres, yet do not make as much out of them as an Oregonian makes out of five or ten acres planted in fruit. Requisition for Church. OL.TMPIA. Wash., Jan. 22. (Special.)

FAIR BILL WILL MEET-OPPOSITION House Expected to Cut Seattle Appropriation to Half Million Dollars. SENATE IS MORE LIBERAL Even When Amount Is Greatly Re duced It Will Have Hard Sled ding In View of James- -town Failure. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. 22. The Seattle Exposition bill is going to encounter rough sledding in the House committee on industrial arts and expositions. The chairman of the committee. Representative Gardner, of Massachusetts, is opposed to the meas ure, and a preliminary poll of the com mittee shows that Mr. Gardner has the support of a majority of the members. Whether this majority can be overcome, so that a favorable report can be made to the House, depends upon the amount of influence the "Washington delegation can bring to bear, and also depends upon the extent to which the delegation will consent to have the bill reduced. As it now stands, the Piles-Humphrey bill appropriates a total jOf tl,125,000 for Government buildings and exhibits. This would provide for buildings twice as large or twice as elaborate as the Gov ernment buildings at the Portland Ex position, and wquld moreover enable the Government to make an exhibit of twice the size, it is true the amount asked is more than double the amount appro priated for Portland, but there has been an increase in the cost of labor and ma terials since 1904, and .this will require a larger outlay to obtain the same results. Points to Portland Exhibit. It is the opinion of Government men, as well as those in Congress who are ad vised, that the Government exhibit at Portland was amply large, and that the buildings were ample, 'mat exhibit com prised the best features of the more elaborate exhibit at St. Louis, yet, by reason of being more compact, was re garded as more attractive and Instruc tive. There was a superfluity of Gov ernment display at St. Louis, a fact that is recognized in Congress, and it Is im probable that any toill will again pass authorizing such an extended exhibition of the workings of the Government de partments. Congressmen of influence, who are friendly to the Seattle Exposi tion, have advised the men from Wash ington to ' reduce the amounts called for in their bill, by eliminating those fea tures which are unnecessary. "With the Bremerton Navy-Yard close at hand, and within easy reacil of all visitors to the Exposition, it will be un necessary to make any extensive naval exhibit, according to these authorities. The coast fortifications and lighthouse establishments near by make unnecessary any material expenditure for such- dis plays. Then it is pointed out that Seattle could very well do without an exhibit by the Library of Congress, the Department of Justice, Department ot State, and other bureaus or departments whose work is not of a character to per mit either an attractive or instructive exhibit. There have been such exhibits at other expositions. It is true, but they have added nothing to the interest, and have only tended to increase the cost. Reduction Must Be Made. ' If these suggestions are carried out and the bill is cut to 1500,000 there may be a prospect of securing a favorable re port from the House committee. But if the delegation stands out and demands the full $1,125,000, it will get no considera tion from the expositions committee of the House. But it -will require very ef fectual work to convince a majority of the House committee, even on a more economical basis, to favorably report the Seattle bill. The Jamestown failure cast a wet blanket over exposition legisla tion in general, and Seattle is most un fortunate in following so close upon the heels of that financial disaster. The members from all Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain states are supporting the Washingtonians In their fight for an exposition appropriation, but even so, they represent a hopeless minority in Congress. The probabilities are that the Piles bill Will be first acted upon. The Senate committee is not so rigid as the corre sponding committee In the House, and the Senate is more liberal in making ap propriations which are sought by Sen ators for such-objects as this. The Senate committee is made up as follows: "Warner, Missouri, chairman; Crane, Massachusetts; . Hansbrough, North Dakota; Fulton, Oregon; Aldrich, Rhode Island: Sutherland, Utah, ana Brandagee. Connecticut, Republicani: and Daniel. Virginia; McCreary. Ken tucky; Rayner, Maryland; Overman, North Carolina, and Taylor, Tennessee, Democrats. Of this, number "Warner, Fulton, Daniel and Taylor come from states which have had Government-aided expositions, and they will naturally vote for some sort of Seattle bill. Sutherland and Hansbrough, being Western men. will be friendly, and McCreary, Rayner and Overman, coming, from states which directly benefited froyi the Jamestown crowds, will likely Rive support. This Kives them a good-sized majority when the vote is taken. It is believed, however, that the Sen ate committee, in reporting the bill, will materially reduce the amount of the ap propriations, and while it may not cut as deep as the House committee, will get the total pretty well down toward half a million dollars. No one believes that an independent exposition bill is going to pass both houses of Congress. It may pass the Senate out of courtesy, but not the House. The probabilities are that the Senate bill will be attached to some gen eral appropriation bill' as a Senate amendment, and if the amount carried is not too great, the House, In the clos ing days of the session, may consent to accept the Senate amendment. This means that the appropriation, if made, will not be available much before June 1, 1008. GUILTY OF MURDER CHARGE PLEA ENTERED BY MEN AC CUSED OF KJXIXG HINDU.
