to weop audibly. As C M. Firkert, her

Ah a result the detectives and Mrs. Han

Hanbmy's expense.
"The detectives were very well behaved
gentlemen." said Mrs. Hanbury. "My
husband furnished them with an auto
mobile to follow me, but we rode round
tn the machine together.. We went to
the theater toeether and spent pleasant
afternoons at the beach. My sister often
accompanied me on these trips."
"They told me, "continued Mrs, Han
bury. "that it was against their princi
ples to shadow a woman, 'but that they
accepted employment from my husband
because thr-y needed the money."
Too Lonely on the Island.
Mrs. Hanbury, who is in her early

wealthy landowner, who took her to live
on one of bis islands In the San Joaquin

estnhltehment, entertained lavishly, and
became known as "The College Widow."
A number of young collegians figure in
the cast.
Mrs. Hanbury says her husband was in

Japan, provided that Japan woirid make
no claim for indemnity. It is contended
here that Chang Jen-fhun prevented tills
course.
China believes that she has fully es
tablished her charge of iolation of neu
trality by reports that have come In
here showing arrests of other vessels by
working contraband cargo in the same
waters. The Chinese and the Japanese
authorities have thus far failed to agree
on even the principles of a settlement
of this threatening question.
The internal situation in the Liang
Kung district is also threatening. Tha
Government is coping with a condition of
chronic rebellion which is being fed by
an active trade in contraband rifles and

China -Considers Measures to Cheek
Japan's Encroachment.
MUKDEN, Maich 5 Japan has been
compelled to vacate or buy ail of 4he
Russian banks throughout Manchuria
seized during the war, and consequently
has lost prestige with the Chinese. :. At
Harbin flour milled from Chinese wheat
Is underselling American flour, and,', the
American trade is threatened.
By command of the central government
the three Governors of Amur, Kirin and
Mukden Provinces have arrived here for
a joint consultation with the Viceroy on
questions of much political importance,
and Governor Tang has been ordered to
Pekm to report to the throne the result
of the consultations. An important
change is reported as imminent. The
good results of placing all of Man
churia under one Viceroy instead of gov
erning the country as formerly, are now
f-ully apparent. The administration is
unified, simplified and consolidated. The
troubles of the central government have
also been lessened and communication
with other countries facilitated.
The commands of the Vlcer.iy are read
ily obeyed and foreign influence has been
reduced so that foreign encroachment Is
impossible. This creates a barrier
against Russia and suits Japan, but lifts
the influence of that nation.
. The demands made by Japan have not
yet been settled, but the Chinese govern
ment is becoming "more conciliatory con

OFFERET PAY AS JAP SPY
New Recruit In Coast Artillery Tells
of Scheme.
SALT LAKBJ, March 5. Jack Tread well,
a Japanese interpreter, formerly a mem
ber, of the Twenty-first United States In
fantry, made the announcement yesterday
at the local recruiting office that he had
been offered ?150 a month by an agent
of the Japanese government to act as a
spy in discovering the location of -the
mines and descriptions of the fortifica
tions in San Francisco and San Diego
harbors, and Puget Sound.
The Japanese, who made the offer, ac
cording to Treadwell, was a man known
as Matsasuzika, who represented himself
as a salesman for the Japanese produce
house of Konada & Co., of San Francis
co. Treadwell says the Japanese told him
he had come to America a spy, but
had been unable to get the Information
required: The offer, .Treadwell says, was
made in a Japanese restaurant on JUch
ards street, the Japanese quarter, on
Tuesday. Treadwell enlisted yesterday as
a private In the One Hundred and Fifth
Heavy Artillery, which at present has
charge of the fortifications at San Fran
cisco. According to Treadwell, the Jap
anese, in making the offer, asked him to
enlist in the Coast Artillery. Treadwell
lived IS years in Japan and has seen serv
ice in the Philippines.
MAY RESORT TO MEDIATION
Japanese Would Not Fight About
Seizure of Steamer."
TOKIO. March 5. The Japanese govern
ment, while maintaining the firmest atti
tude concerning the seizure of the steam
ship Tatsu, by the Chinese at Macao, on
February 7, entertains no Idea, of resort
ing to force for the recovery of the vessel.
Possibly, in the event that China delays
action, Japan will appeal to. England or
America to act as intermediary in the
mattci.
In view of the agitation against the
foreign office instituted by the opposition,
any indication of a concession by Japan
to China would be extremely dangerque
to the present cabinet officials. The for
eign office has assured the Associated
Press correspondent that Japan never
would declare war on account of such a
minor incident, nevertheless it is believed
proper that Japanese war vessels ehould
visit the neighborhood of the Imprisoned
ship. Attention is called to the fact that
British warships and torpedo-boats re
cently visited Canton, where a British
vessel was attacked and robbed by Chi
nese pirates near that city.

BOOKS REVEAL BAD TANGLE
Repor Declares Oriental Was Per
meated With Irregularities and
Thefts Were Charged to
- Profit and Loss. -
NEW YORK, March 5.-Miscouduct of
affairs of the Oriental Bank, which Is In
the hands of receivers, is charged in a
report written by examiners employed by
the receivers and made public today. The
report says: . -
The bank has been conducted in a most
sMpdbod. loose, unbusinesslike manner and
has been permeated with -irregularities,
frauds and crime. Within the last two
yeara the administration of Ivs affairs had
been characterized by several apparent de
falcations, forgeries and other violations of
the statutes of this state and the attention
of he city or state had not yet been called
to the violation of the law by the officers
or directors or attorneys of the Oriental
Bank.
Sums aRreirating considerable amounts
have been charfced up to profit and loss and
the offenders allowed to escape the law,
apparently because they were employes of
the bank, while the officers were afraid
to prosecute for fear of exposure of greater
or more serious .Irregularities or violations
of the law on the part of those higher up
In the administration ot thte bank's af
fairs. ,
The examiners also allege that lyge
loans were made by the directors of
the bank at the request of some of their
number who were also directors of the
banks In Brooklyn which have ' since
failed and that -some of these loans to
the extent of several hundred thousand
dollars. were charged off while other
loans against the same men were counted
as good.

HAYES BILL IS DOOMED
President Advises Against Japanese
Exclusion Law.
WASHINGTON, March 5. (Special.)
President Roosevelt took a shot today at
the exclusion bill introduced by Congress
man E. A. Haye3 of California. So ef
fectual was the President's aim that it
is predicted that the bill will never "get
out of committee. The President had a
heart-to-heart talk with Governor Gillett,
of California, now in the National capi
tal, and told him that the exclusion .bill
would greatly embarrass the Government
in its diplomatic negotiations with Japan.
Mr. Roosevelt later tallced with Mr.
Hayes and other members of the Cali
fornia delegation.
Leaders in both houses are inclined to
the President's views on the subject, and
the chances for the exclusion bill are
very dim indeed.

and methods."

appeared a month ago.

It contains some material that the United

After reviewing his platform, the Post
adds:
"Oregon having made up her mind to I
