The Monteagle and Min nesota left Yokohama together. That secret trials of airships and aeroplanes invented by Japanese ex perts held in northern Japan have been successfully demonstrating that guns and heavy loads can be carried, was the story brought by the Monteagle. It is stated that a number of experts have been engaged for some time past in perfecting an airship invented by Yamada Isaburo, whose airship was successful during the Russo-Japanese war, and it is stated that the new fly ing machine invented by Mr. Isaburo is capable of transporting a heavy load and mounting guns of moderate calibre and also can be stored readily.' Another invention perfected at the trials held before the army experts Is an airship destroyer fitted with shells which explode automatically on con tact with another airship, being practi cally a counterpart of the marine tor pedo destroyer applied to aerial navi gation. Both Inventions have been se cured by the military authorities. Because Dr. Jarger, an American scientist, found what he considered signs Indicating of an early eruption of Taruncyasan, a volcano of Hok kaido, in northern Japan, the police ordered an exodus from the villages near the volcano.

A few days later the eruption took place and the inhabitants fled again, none having been injured. Hill Liner Breaks Shaft. ' SEATTLE. June 3.

Says He Was in No Way Connected With Kobnett Shortage and l Knew Nothing of It. LEWISTON. Idaho, June 3. J. E. Chapman, former teller of the Lewiston National Bank, who was attached to the bank during the period of the alleged theft of $137,000 from the institution, ar rived here from a two weeks' trip to the Coast today. A telegram had been sent to him by his father as soon as the statement of the bank defalcation was made, and he started hero immed itely. On his arrival here he authorized this statement: "In connection with the statement made in the Tribune of June 2 by F. W. Kettenbach, president of the Lewis ton National Bank, Mr. Chapman stated that the first intimation he had of Mr. Robnett's defalcation was about two months ago. when a general checking up of the books was made by Mr. Smith, the cashier, and Mr. Hyke. - "At that time it appeared that there was a shortasre of some $100,000. Mr. Kobneft's attention was called to the matter and he so explained it that it was thought the actual shortage was between $100 and $200. This shortage was sub sequently apparently reduced to $20. The fact of the actual defalcation cama with as much surprise to Mr. Chapman as to everyone else connected with the bank. The individual deposit ledger which was manipulated by Robnett in carrying out his scheme was kept by him solely, Mr. Chapman having nothing to do there with." Relative to the statement in Mr. Ket tenbach's interview that Robnett as bookkeeper checked the teller and Chap man as teller checked the bookkeeper, Mr. Chapman states that no such & sys tem was in vogue in the bank, and that he had no check whatsoever on the book keeper's records. Relative to the statement that the routine course of the bank's mail was through his (Chapman) hands. Mr. Chap man states that owing to a press of other duties he has had nothing to do with the handling of the general mall for some months, and that during the time he did care for the mail no checks of a suspicious character ' connected with Robnett or any of his business ventures were presented at the bank. Mr. Chapman states further that Rob nett frequently when apparently in need of money drew drafts on the Spokane Orchards Company and upon Spokane banks, which drafts were uniformly honored. -Mr. Chapman baa secured tha services of Attorney Charles McDonald pending any developments in the case. United States Attorney Lingenfelter. who has been ordered here from Boise by the Attorney-General to investigate the case, will arrive in Lewiston tomor row morning. He will immediately take up the investigation of the evidence with Bank Examiner Gatch, when. If the showing is as represented, warrants will be issued for the arrest of Messrs. Chap man and Robnett. Robnett is expected to reach here to morrow or Saturday from the East. WOODMEN TO HONOR DEAD Will TJnveil Handsome Memorial In Vancouver Next Sunday. VANCOUVER, Wash., June 3. (Spe cial.)
