STRAIN IS TENSE
Single Misguided Act Might
Force Rupture With Nip
pon, in His Opinion.
GRAVEST CONCERN FELT
Most of President's Time and Atten
tion for Weeks Past Given to
Problem of Averting Pos
sibility of Break.
ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Feb 14. Never, during his long
term of office, has President Roosevelt
been more deeply concerned over any Na
tional question than be Is over the pos
sibility of a rupture with Japan. It is
not stating It too strongly to eay that the
President, knowing the situation as he
does, feels that a single misguided act
of hostility In this country, may force a
rupture, the extent and result of which
no man can foresee. The defeat of the
anti-Japanese bills In California has for
the present postponed the Issue, but has
not changed the general situation.
From his many conferences with public
men and representative citizens from all
sections, the President finds that the peo
ple do not attach proper significance to
the Japanese question. There Is a gen
eral disposition to look upon the con
troversy very largely as newspaper sen
sationalism. But the President knows
differently, he regards the situation as un-
usually grave, an.l one demanding the
most adroit handling.
Japanese Question Paramount.
As a matter of fact, the Japanese ques
tion has occupied the bulk of the Presi
dent's time and consideration for the past
three or four weeks ever since anti
Japanese bills were Introduced in the
California Legislature. Daily the Presi
dent has been In consultation with the
hMds of the State Department: with rep
resentatives of the Japanese government,
with Senators and Representatives, lead
ing men of California and other far
western states, and much of his cor
respondence has had to deal with tills
subject. Latterly ho has been consult
ing with other prominent men from Pa
cific Coast and Rocky Mountain states,
undertaking to impress upon them, and
through them, their people, the desir
ability of avoiding conflict with Japan.
The President has felt all along that if
the people of the entire country would
once awaken to the true Importance of
; the situation, that public sentiment from
the outside would be so strong that the
b'tter element on the Paciflp Coast would
realize; that the Japanese question. In its
present shape, is one that affects the
whole Nation, and not any one, or two,
or half dozen states where a consider
able portion of the population Is made up
of Japs.
When "'Butting In" Is Necessary.
Some of those who have counseled with
the President have expressed the view
that he should not "butt-in" on the Leg
islatures of California, Nevada and othfr
states: that he has no such constitutional
authority, and that any such action on
l is part would be properly resented. The
President has replied to such of his ad
visors that when a single state under
takes to legislate In a way likely to In
volve the whole Nation in war with a
fopeign power, it is his privilege his duty,
to do his utmost to prevent the enact-
ment of inflammatory legislation in any
such state. In other words, he feels th.-jt it
is incumbent upon him, as President of
the whole United States, to use his In
fluence In any emergency when the hot
heads and the agitators of any single
state attempt that which means much to
the entire Nation.
When President Roosevelt first entered
the White House, It was predicted by
his enemies that he would Involve t he
country in war before the close of his
Administration. Now that a serious situa
tion has arisen, he has gone perhaps
farther than any other man in his posi
tion would have dared go in an effort to
avert war. He has shown that he is -a
man of peace; not an advocate of war.
He would not for a rr.lmite have peace
if It could be had only without honor;
yet it is his firm conviction that there Is
nothing in the prtstnt situation in Call
; fornia or elsewhere that Justifies war be
. tween the United States and Japan.
, War Would Be Costly.
War with Japan at tills time would be
costly to the United States, and It would
be protracted. An Army officer of wide
experience, who has seen long service
in the Orient, speaking of possible trouble
with Japan, made this statement:
"If war should be declared betwen the
United States and Japan, the Japs would
have possession of the Philippines within
a very few days after the opening of
hostilities. They have as complete maps
of the islands as we have; they are
close by, and could, on short notice, land
10 or 20 times the number of troops we
now have there, and our httle military
force would be quickly swept out of ex
istence. In all likelihood, the- Japs couid
capture the Hawaiian Islands with almost
tiie same ease, and they could get con
trol of much territory, particularly
strategic points. In Alnska.
"It is not doubted that after a long
: selge: after our battleships were sent
back to the Pacific, and after a largely
augmented Army had been assembled on
the Pacific Coast, the United States could
regain the territory captured by Japan
and the United States would be forced to
recover this territory If it sought to re
- tain its standing as a world power but
the recovery of this domain would not
be brought about except at heavy cost,
financially, and In the lives of men and
hisa of property. A war with Japan,
therefore, would be a most deplorable
one from our standpoint."
President Has Counted Cost.
Well informed as is the President, It
is not to be doubted that he personally
appreciates the situation in all its serious
ness, and knows the cost of conflict with
tiie Japanese. It Is because, of his knowl
edge, and because he has reckoned on the
cost, that he is so much concerned in
checking hostile action in t he legisla
tures of tiie far western states. The
troubles of which thoso states complain
can. he believes, be adjusted without
oitVring serious affront to a foreign gov
ernment: Indeed, he still maintains that
under an agreement between the United
Spates and the Japanese government, the
Japanese question is being slowly, but
effectually settled. If this process, begun
under his direction, is allowed to pro
ceed, he f.els certain that the things
complained of will be ultimately remedied
a.id without bloodshed on either side.
If war with Japar. should be precipi
tated. Theodore Roosevelt, private citizen
though he will be at the time, will find
bis way to the front. But he, is not seek
ing military honors. He has bent every
energy, as never before. ' to mold puhlc
sentiment on the Japanese question, he is
still laboring In that direction, and if,
HaTora March 4, he shall succeed In
smoothing out this bothersome situa
tion, he will retire feeling he has won
one of the greatest victories of his Presi
dential career.
BIST DAYS rOK CONGRESS
Much Work Ahead for Next
Two Weeks.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14. Congress this
week will give all possible attention to
appropriation bills, as it has become a
pressing necessity that bo'h hbuses shall
act promptly If the measures are to be
come laws In the few remaining days of
the session. The . Senate will take up
the naval bill Monday and when that is
disposed of the Postotfice bill will receive
attention.
The Senate is so far behind that night
sessions will be necsary. The House is
In better shape, but has little time to
spa re.
Work on the Indian bill will be re
sumed Monday. It will be followed either
by the Consular and Diplomatic bill or
th Fortification Appropriation bill.
The Senate has its hands full nnd early
attention will be given to the Canadian
boundary waterways treaty and the New
Foundiand treaty. The Panama and Co
lombia treaties may not be disposed of
until after March t.
The nominators to which there ' are
objections will go over with the result
that the Incoming President will have an
opportunity to fill the places with men
of his selection.
The House tomorrow will consider the
bill giving separate statehood to New
Mexico and Arizona and likely will pass
It. Prospects for the- bill in the Senate
are unfavorable.
The bill removing the Constitutional
obstructions In the way of Senator Knox's
becoming Secretary of State, likely will
be favorably acted upon by the Houso.
SHOT REVEALS TBI
GIRL AHRRSTKI) FOIi WOUND
ING HUSBAND.
Victim of Shooting Also Husband of
Girl's Mother Quarrel
Over Valentine.
ST. JOSEPH. Mo., Feb. 14. In the
shooting of William Smith, a carpenter,
here today, which Is expected to result
fatally, there came to light one of the
strangest entanglements in the lives of
three persons ever known. A girl 22
years old, who shot Smith, avers to the
police that she married him knowing that
her mother was already his legal wife.
The three have lived for years together,
the man as the husband of both.
The shooting this afternoon occurred
over the sending ot a comic valentine.
The girl, who styles herself Mrs. Cora
Smith, while her mother is known by the
name of Mrs. William Smith; sent the
carpenter a comic valentine. Smith grew
angry when he revived It, and after
packing up his clothes, started to leave
tin; -house.
Thinking he was going to desert her.
the girl shot him. The girl s mother says
she married Smith In 19V2. Her daughter
was by a former husband. A year after
their marriage, she says, she found that
her husband had Improper relations with
her daughter. She made him marry the
girl, she says, without first securing a
divorce. The girl and her husband both
bear out the story.
Mrs. Cora Smith, who shot her husband,
was placed under arrest by the police.
She will be held pending Smith's condi
tion. REFORM BILL FOR SPAIN
Deputies Pass Administration Mea
sure After Year's Debate.
MADRID. Feb. 14. After a discussion
lasting more than a year, the Chamber
of Deputies has passed tile local admin
istration's bill, the principal features of
tho government's programme. It In
creases the powers of the municipality
and the provincial councils, giving them
new prerogatives and providing a cer
tain degree of local economy, especially
with regard to education, public works
and charitable Institutions.
There Is every reason to expect that
this far-reaching reform measure will
pass the Senate and will be put into op
eration before the end of the year.
CHILI CONCARNE POISONS

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14. Mrs. H. E.

cian, but had hardly left the telephone
when she also was overcome, and when
the doctor arrived .he found the two
unconscious on the floor. Mrs. Bennett
died at 11 o'clock Saturday night, after
suffering terribly- from convulsions. Ben
nett's chances for recovery are slight.
MONTANA HAS JAP ISSUE
Labor Committee Expected to Rc
port Memorial Favorably.
HELENA. Mont., Feb. 14. That the
Morton anti-Japanese memorial will be
favorably reported by the committee on
labor in the House seems certain from
statements made by members of the
committee. They will amend it slightly
and In Its amended form the resolution
asking that the Chinese exclusion act
be continued and extended to take in
other Mongolians, will no doubt pass tho
House. There is a possibility, however,
of the bill to segregate Mongolian school
children being enacted.

The troubles of the Tucker family date
back to 1H0I. when the Colonel was sta

public In J'.OT, when Mrs. Tucker filed
charges with the War Department, in
when she charged her husband with be

Henceforth the more important vessels
of the Channel fleet, under command of
Vice-Admiral Sir Archibald Berkeley
Milne, now second In command of the
Channel fleet, will form the second di
vision of the main fleet under supreme
command of Sir William May, Second
Lord of the Admiralty.
It Is understood this means the prac
tical retirement t of Admiral Charles
Beresford and that 1 : will be placed on
half pay. In the ordinary course. Lord
Charles would have retired under the age
limit in February, 1S11, but the govern
ment desired to group all the newest
and best ships under Vice-Admiral May's
command for home defense.
The action of the government, how
ever, in thus prematurely "etiring Beres
ford, Is likely to arouse again the acri-
monious discussions so frequently asso
ciated with his name.

two bodies have been recovered from
the -wrecked steamer Penguin, of the

The ship struck about 10 o'clock at
night, but the captain remained on the
bridge and after his vessel slid Into deep
water was able to steer her closer in
shore. The seas were running high and
the small boats and rafts which were
launched could not withstand the waves.
The boats' and rafts were overturned, but
wlille tho boats practically sank, the
rafts righted themselves a number of
times.
Many acts of heroism were performed,
some of the stronger of those struggling
in the water helping the weaker to re
gain the frail crafts.
After several hours of suffering the
majority of the survivors on the rafts
reached the phore, demonstrating that
rafts are more serviceable than boats
In a heavy sea close to a rocky shore.
One of the rafts with ten men aboard
thrice capsized, but all scrambled back
and were ultimately cast upon the cliff
and were saved. Four boats came ashore
some hours later and all were badly
crushed.

KEEP OUT YELLOWS
Assemblyman Drew Fears'
Country Will Be Overrun, i
TWO RACES NEVER BLEND
Declares Americans Will Become
Servants of Japanese If Immi
gration From Orient Is
Not Checked.
SACRAMENTO. Cal., Feb. 14. Assem
blyman A. M. Drew, of Jj'resno, who
recently introduced an anti-alien land
bill. In a sermon preached at the Cen
tral Methodist Episcopal Church, this
city, tonight, spoke In part as follows:
"The history of the world teaches
that a co-mlngling of the white and
yellow or the white and black races,
always brings the white race down
and never brings the yeHow or black
up. It results in a shiftless, worthless
mongrel race that the world does not
want. The South American countries
were settled with the people of the
mixed Spanish and negro blood, and
that is the thing .that places the South
American lauds where they are.
"The Monroe doctrine was one of the
most pernicious the world has known.
That country teems with natural
wealth, but tho people who Inhabit It
are the most worthless In the world.
And now the Monroe doctrine I has
crossed the continent to California. I
say to you that the white race never
has, and never can stand where the
yellow or black race meets it. I say
to you that if conditions go on as they
now are it will not be 50 years until
tlje white race becomes the typewrit
ers and the servants of the yellow. To
compete with the yellow race the white
man would starve to death.
"The Japanese are fastening them
selves to our soil. Only today. a man
on the train told me that he had sold
I95.00G worth of land In Orange County
to a Japaneje. They will buy a tract
of land and live in a shanty that a
white man could not exist in, and by
saving every dollar they accumulate
wealth.
"If the Japanese comes the white man
must go. No perfect man can come
from the mixture of blood. The two
races cannot live together. I say to
you. don't cermit them to take our
land: I say to you, don't permit them
to drive out our people.
"1 think I know why President
Roosevelt sent orders to the State of
California to keep Its hands off the
question of excluding Japanese from
our schools, from our lands. This coun
try has $400,000,000 of trade with the
Chinese eacli year, and I believe he
thinks Japan could so manipulate mat
ters as to close the doors of Chinese
trade to us."
ITALY THANKS AMERICA
Grateful for Aid Rendered to
Earthquake Sufferers.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 14. "My govern
ment has many things for which to thank
th3 people of America since the earth
quake in Southern Italy," said Baron
des Planches, the Italian Ambassador at
Washington. In an interview today.
"Besides the great monetary assistance
and the sympathy we have received, we
are grateful for the scientific informa
tion which we have received and the
valuable flints which have been given ui
by the United States geological survey.
This information will be of more lasting
benefit to Italy than even the great sums
of money that have been sent to our
people."
Messina was going to rebuild, he said,
but profiting by the lessons of the San
Francisco disaster, it would be done on
different lines.
