SAYS AFFRONTS MUST STOP Warns America "For Sake of Peace in Pacific." RECALLS FORMER INSULTS "Boundless Patience" Becoming Ex hansted and Cure for "Malady Which Has Attacked Rela tions" Is Called For. YOKOHAMA. Jan. 17. (Special.) Under the caption, "Don't Anger Us," the Hochi, In an editorial addressed to Thomas O'Brien, the American Ambassador Toklo, aays: at Japan is grateful to America for opening the country, and reveres her as the land where virtue Is honored, but fears that sooner or later repeated insults will compel Japan to resort to a deter mined policy of eelf-protection." The Hochi recalls how, at the time of the school question, the Japanese were ob jeots of intolerable abuse and slander, and that despite Federal expressions of regret and sympathy. Japanese interests and honor were not protected. Japan's yielding attitude," continues the Hochi, "rather eeemed to tie her hands and augment the restriction of the rights enjoyed by all civilized powers. Considering the fleet's visit, American generosity toward our exposition and the visits of commissions of business men is highly desirable to find a cure for the malady which has attacked our good re lations. The Hochi appeals to Ihe Presi dent and the people of America. Although the Japanese still believe the magnanim ity displayed in the past will continue. the ceaseless affronts are exhausting our boundless patience. For the sake of peace in the Pacific, don't anger us. "JIXGOES" TO BE SQUELCHED California Legislature to Sit Upon Anti-Japanese Legislators. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 17. (Special.) One of the most important things which la scheduled to come up lu the Senate within the next few days Is the putting of the extinguisher down good and hard upon those members who have persisted In stirring up the Japanese question at a time when a majority of both houses as well as the Administration faction at Washington, are most anxious to let It rest. Several bills calculated to rouse the ire of Japan have already been Introduced and more are being made as fast as the pena of the agitators can write them. There is no likelihood of any of the bills getting out of the first committee Into whose spacious pigeon-hole they happen to drop, but not satisfied with the cer tainty of defeating such measures, the or ganization Intends to prevent, as far as possible, the discussion of the possibility of passing them. It Is the old and worn-out Leavitt or ganization alone wlilch la agitating for anti-Japanese legislation at this session. The reorganized majority under Wright's leadership believes that Washington should be left alone to deal with the sit uation. In regard to the demands, the situation Is, of course, different, and there appears to be no way of keeping them from shooting as many arrows at the Orient aa they think advisable. "It is the cheapest kind of gallery-playing to argue for such bills as the anti alien landholder measure or that for bidding California corporations from hav ing Oriental directors." said an influ ential member of the Upper House today. 'Everybody knows that the bills won't pass. Under the circumstances it looks like extremely poor and petty politics to try to pass then."

CHICAGO, Jan. 17. (Speclal.)-Popu-larity Is responsible for ye downfall of "Alkali Pete," Idaho "cow puncher" and detective of the Federal beef Investiga tion. . His familiarly striking- figure was much In evidence In the Federal building during the past two weeks and District Attorney Sims admitted today that he had been transferred to other fields, with the remark that the Federal secret serv ice man's usefulness is ended when h becomes a popular JJoI. "Alkali Pete" was originally a ranch man In Idaho. He became Sheriff in that state and was known to be a quick man with a gun. He afterward became a Government secret service operator and was brought to Chicago to assist in the investigation of the packing industry. It might be all right to hide behind boulders in a canyon, but when such a Strang appearing person hides behind a pillar in the Federal building and takes peeps at the man he is shadowing he is bound to attract more or less attention. Such was the case with "Alkali Pete." INDIVIDUAL IS PLAINTIFF Government Xot Sponsors for Libel Suits on Canal Scandal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. The latest suggestion regarding yesterday's sensa tional developments regarding the service of subpenas in newspapers in this city and elsewhere is that an individual and not the United States Government, is the real plaintiff In the case. It Is true that the subpenas served read 'The United States vs. the Press Publish ing Company." But if the proposed action is criminal, as Is generally assumed to be the case, that would be the form of a subpena even where an individual is the complainant, according to the practice in the District of Columbia. The' identity of this Individual or In dividuals is purely a matter of specula tlon, for the public will have to await the Issue of the promised statement of Attorney-General Bonaparte.

Tillman, Jr. , Confident He Will Be Chosen Senator. DENEEN TAKES SEAT TODAY Illinois Legislature Will Tackle Senatorial Fight. DUBOIS OPPOSES . HOPKINS Ex-Senator From Idaho Reported to Be AVorking Against Former Col league Because Mormons Are Said to Favor ' Him. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Jan. 17.-(Special.) After a spirited series of battles, during which Charles S. Deneen and his friends had apprehensions that the Shurtleff Re publican and Democratic members of the Legislature would "conspire by unfair means to oust the Governor from his chair and Install Adlal E. Stevenson therein." Mr. Deneen will be inaugurated as chief executive tomorrw. The other Btato officers-elect will be inducted into office at the same time and with the machinery of the Legislature in work ing order, the General Assembly will turn Its attention this week to the elec tloft of a United- States Senator to suc ceed Albert J. Hopkins. Senator Hopkins, who will arrive here from Chicago tomorrow morning to look after his Interests, is quoted as saying he Is certain he will have on the first joint ballot 116 votes, or 13. more than enough to nominate. He feels sure of this number and believes that when the time comes every Republican in both houses will vote for him. Arguing that he is entitled to every ballot from his party. Senator Hopkins says he carried every county In the state at the pri maries against William E. Mason and carried 86 of the 102 counties against Representative George E. Foss. "Caucus Aot Needed,' He Says. - After the- primaries," said Senator Hopkins, ."I announced that I considered myself the victor and that I was going to seek the passage of resolutions by' the Republican State Convention, declaring me the candidate of the party. At that time neither Mr. Foss nor Mr. Mason challenged the procedure; by their silence they ratified it, and the convention adopt ed the resolutions. So I am the sole party candidate, and I do not think that any Republican in the state would care to en danger his future by entering , the lists against me. As to a caucus, in Iowa, Governor Cummins, after the primaries, declared that a caucus was unnecessary. the legislators having been instructed at he polls, but a caucus was held in order to preserve a time-honored custom.' First Ballot Before Caucus. Both elements concede that a caucus will not be called until Tuesday, at least, after the Houses have taken separate bal lots on the Senatorshlp. The most encouraging feature of the situation, as the Hopkins leaders look at It, lies In the fact that the anti-Hopkins forces are scattered, not having united on candidate. With the opposition in a nebulous form, the Hopkins men assert that they will have no trouble In swing ing most of the Foss men to the junior Senator. This belief, however, is not hared by the anti-Hopkins men, who in sist that a deadlock will crop up on the first joint, ballot; that "dark horse" can didates will be trotted out, and that the tie-up will finally be settled by the elec tion of a compromise candidate. A startling development tonight was the Western story that the Mormon church has had active emissaries In Illinois for weeks, working for Senator Hopkins. Ex- United States Senator Dubois, of Idaho, uncompromising enemy of the Mormon church, has been -in Illinois for several weeks, and this is declared to be signifi cant of Western gentile opposition to Hopkins. 11 J Mrs. B.
