CONSENT OF CHINA
Japan Tells Powers She Will
Rebuild Antung-Mukden
Railroad at Once.
SAYS CHINA OBSTRUCTS
Asserts Right to Improve Road
Vntler Portsmouth Treaty, but
China Annuls It Issues
Ultimatum to World.
TOKIO. Auk. ".In a communication
Japan has officially notified the powers
of her Intention to proceed Immediately
with the reconstruction ar.d improvement
of the Antunx-Mukden Railroad without
the consent of China, diplomatic negotia
tions having; failed to overcome the oppo.
sttlon of that country to the commence
ment of a work which Japan believes to
be within her rights under the treaty of
The note outlines the entire course of
negotiations relative to the improvement
of the railroad up to the present time. It
declares that throughout the discussions
China has had recourse "to her well
known policy of obstruction and procras
tination; has evaded the Just and reason
able demands of Japan and raised collat
eral questions regarding police authority
and other matters." thus delaying a set
tlement. China's reply of June 24 Is mentioned.
and the note declares that Japan's rights
under the treaty of 1!6 were disregarded
and the provisions of the treaty wholly
nullified thereby. It is charged that China
raised immaterial issues and declared in
her reply "that the work of Improvement
on the Antung-Mukden Railroad must be
confined to the existing track, and that
the broadening of the gauge cannot be
permitted.
The communication concludes ' with the
statement that since June 34. when the
reply was received. Japan has endeaored
to induce China to reconsider her decision
and recede from her untenable position,
but that the Chinese government has
maintained an unyielding and uncompro
mising attitude.
The final paragraph of the note con
tains Japan's ultimatum, which is ex
pressed as follows:
"In this situation, the Imperial govern
ment is compelled to take Independent
action and proceed to carry out the neces
sary works of reconstruction and im
provement according to treaty rights."
XETW THROUGH LINE TO EUROPE
Why Japan Insists on Control of
Antung Railroad.
TOKIO. Friday. Aug. 6. The ques
tion of reconstructing the existing rail
road line from Antung on the Talu
River, to Mukden. Manchuria, by Japan
Is beginning to attract attention both
here and In China. This line was built
by Japan during the war with Russia.
After the war a treaty was signed be
tween Japan and China. under the
terms of which Japan was to be per
mitted to "reconstruct or transform"
the line, use It for 15 years and then
turn It over to China.
The distance from Antung to Muk
den Is about 150 miles. The country
traversed Is rich and the line valuable
commercially, but one of the main ad
vantages gained from reconstruction
will be the fact of through communica
tion from Fusan In Southern Corea to
Mukden and thence to the main Trans
Siberian line and so to St. Petersburg
and London. With an eight-hour sea
trip from Japan to Fusan. thence by
the existing line from Fusan to Sntung
the trip from Toklo to the capitals of
Europe would be materially shortened.
Furthermore, the line Is strategically
valuable to Japan,
The matter was first taken up with
the Viceroy of Mukden, who did no
take kindly to the changes suggested
by Japan. Then negotiations were
opened with the central government at
Pekln. which objects to the change to
standard guage: declares that the
northern terminal must be actually at
Mukden Instead of a few miles out of
the city, as the Japanese desire for rea
sons of economy, and Insists that the
policing of the railroad shall be left
entirely In Chinese hands and that all
Japanese troops be withdrawn.
This last proposition has been flatly
refused. Japan Insisting the changes
she proposes are necessary for the
carrying out of the ideas set forth in
the treaty.
HISAGREE ABOUT POLICING
China and Japan Interpret Clause of
Treaty Differently.
PEKIN". Aug. 6. The negotiations be
tween China and Japan for the construc
tion by Japan of the Antung-Mukden
Railroad In accordance with the conven
tion eigned several years ago by Prince
Chlng. then Chinese Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and Baron Komura. the Japanese
Foreign Secretary, and which have been
in progress at Mukden since 1907. have
failed, owing to disputes between the con
tracting parties arising from the Inter
pretation of clauses in the convention
providing for the policing of the line.
Japan has formally intimated to China
her Intention to proceed with the recon
struction of the line within a time limit
which Japan considers reasonable, regard
less of China's objection.
The entire railroad question, therefore,
will be transferred from Mukden to Pekin
and he made part of the whole Chtno
Japanese question concerning Manchuria.
KQUAI. VOICE IX MANAGEMENT
American Bankers' New Demand Is
Opposed by Germans.
LOXION. Aug. 6. The question of
equal control of the construction of the
Hankow-fze Chuen Railway is now oc
cupying the attention of the International
hankers Interested in the loan for this
purpose. It is understood here that
America considers it important that she
should have an equal voice in appoint

will bo purchased. German financiers are
offering opposition to this plan.
It is proposed to 6ubmit the question

Dissension Breaks Oat Among the
Workmen at Stockholm.
STOCKHOLM. Aug. . The tense situa

claimed a few days ago seemed to De
relaxing tonight. The grave-diggers re
turned to work today and dissension is
apparent In the ranks of the other
strikers. The owners of some of the
large plants In Stockholm announce
that their men will return to work Mon
day. M. von Sldow, president of the Employ
ers Federation, declared tonight that In
tervention by the government would be
without result, as the differences were
too great to be settled in such a man
ner. The National Labor Union pub
lished a statement disapproving the
strike of the electric light and gas work
ers, which began last night. The electric
plant was kept In operation by officials
of the lighting department.
As the strikers have been preventing
farmers from bringing provisions In the
city, troops have been detailed to
patrol the country roads. The military
authority continues to dispense milk from
the railroad stations for the use of the
people.

lng, as Dehart testified. Mr. Davis had
the witness stand up and illustrate the
position and motions he had assumed
in the struggle with Sutton on the
ground Just before Sutton was shot.
Mr. Davis read from Utley's testimony
at the Inquest following Sutton's death.
Change in Testimony.
"You said then that you saw someone
wrench a revolver from Sutton's hand,
heard someone say 'Get the other gun
and In your effort to do so, you went
towards Sutton's feet and then turned
and saw the flash. Now, you say that
you were kneeling on Sutton's left shoul
der and feeling under his chest for his
hand when you saw him raise his arm
and Are the shot that killed him. Which
is right?" asked Davis.
"As I recollect now, I was feeling for
the gun when the flash came," replied
Utley.
Referring to the revolver which disap
peared on the night of the shooting and
of which all the witnesses so far have
disclaimed any knowledge, Mr. Davis
asked the witness if he knew who had
taken It Utley said he did not and that
the next time he saw it was when he
made an Inventory of Sutton's things Just
before the Inquest. This was the small
revolver, and not the large service gun.
'"That was the revolver which was the
dumb witness of Sutton's death, wasn't
it?" asked Davis.
"Yes, sir; I think so." responded Utley.
'XTnless some one afterwards placed It
In the holster." added Mr. Davis.
Mr. Davis finished his crof -examination.
Major Leonard asked the witness if he
was positive that no other hand Inter
vened, except Sutton's to fire the shot
which killed Sutton.
"I know I did not touch his hand, and
no one else did as I recollect It," said the
witness.

and her mother, and what they told him
agreed with Thaw's assertions.
"Did you belle this was true?" asked
Mr. Jerome.
"Tee, It looked plausible and I saw no
reason why she should tell me such a
story If It were not true."
Mr. O Mara said the girl told him
that "White was preventing her from
getting a position at a New York the
ater. Mr. Jerome asked the witness If
he had ever, before the trial,
heard stories regarding Immoral prac
tices by Thaw. Mr. O'Mara said he had
not. The detective said he had read
many letters from women to Thaw's
attorney's.
Women Wanted Thaw's Money.
"Generally," he remarked, "they ended
by wanting some money, and I would
tear them up and throw them away, i
did not get enough to pay my expenses.
I was not in it for money. I knew Mr.
Thaw as a boy and 1 came down here of
my own accord to do what I could."
"But how much did you get?" persisted
Mr. Jerome.
I did not get over 12200 in all. I
was here 11 weeks duringthe first trial
and during part of the second."
"Were you ever called upon to settle
any matters In Pittsburg in which Harry
Thaw was involved?"
"Never."
"Or elsewhere?"
"No, sir."
"Did this story of an actress, expe
rienced in the ways of New York, that
one of the most prominent men in New
York tried to wrong her in a room in
Madison Square Garden tower, seem true
to your sophisticated mind?"
"Yes, I thought it was proable."

Mr. O'Mara was excused and Mr. Mor

to the stand. ne was asked to explain
Detective O'Mara's position.
"Mr. O'Mara came into this case."
said Mrs. Thaw, "because he said he
wanted to do all he could for Mr.
Thaw's boy. I think his position in
this case was like millions of angels "
and she quoted: '
"They also serve which only stand

The witness said that only two
Thaws, so far as she knew, had been
insane. Mrs. Thaw denied that her son
had thrown a loving cup out of the win
dow at his sister's wedding.
Mrs. Thaw asserted that Mrs. Fletcher,
the Harvard archaeologist and Harry's
former teacher, had expressed regret and
shed tears over the manner in which her
evidence was exaggerated to show Thaw's
unsound mind. She used the word "tor

treatment of her son. When . she
quoted Mr. Jerome's alleged words,
"This man is now in the place where I
hope he will be kept the rest of his life,"

self-possession failed her when she again
attempted to describe what she saw dur

Accepted Tariff Reduction
Lest Worse Happen at
Next Session.
DANGER OF FREE LUMBER
Strong Sentiment in Honse for That
Policy Induced Consent to Rate
Tart Dictated West Is
Well Protected. '
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 6. There is Just one reason
why- the Senators from the Pacific North
west consented to a reduction of the
duty on rough lumber to the Taft rate
of J1.25. They feared that a fight on the
conference report, which might defeat
the bill, would result in a revival oi tne
tariff question at the regular session next
Winter or at another special session to
be called in the Fall, and In that event
there would be grave danger of getting
an even lower rate Jl or even less.
Rather than take a chance at a second
tariff session, they accepted the Inevitable
and allowed the responsibility to rest
upon the shoulders of the President.
Advocates of high tariff on lumber
have been handicapped from the start
because of the strong sentiment in the
House of Representatives in favor of free
lumber. A change of less than a dozen
votes would have put lumber on the free
list when the Payne bill was passed ori
ginally by the House, and more than the
decisive number of votes was cast by
members who had no interest in the lum
ber industry members who had voted
against free lumber under combinations
which gave them additional votes on
schedules in which they were directly
concerned. It was well known that, if
the House at another session was given
an opportunity to vote for free lumber,
there was strong probability that this
commodity would go on the free list; the
old combination probably could not be
renewed.
So far as the Senate was concerned,
there was never any danger of putting
lumber on the free list. A safe major
ity of that body was opposed to free lum
ber and would continue to oppose it. Yei
the Senate was unwilling to retain the
old Dingley rates, and perhaps at another
session would consent to a rate even
lower than that fixed by Aldrich and the
finance committee. Should the House,
therefore, at another session vote for free
lumber and the Senate vote a duty of
even $1.50, the compromise would neces
sarily have to be at a point much lower
than $1.25. Seventy-five cents would be
the most the Senate could hope to retain
under such circumstances.
All these things were taken into con
sideration -by the Republican Senators
from Oregon, Washington and Idaho
when 'they finally agreed to accept the
Taft rate of $1.25. They were aware, as
were others, that there was a distinct
possibility that one house or the other
might reject the conference report, and
that possibility would be the greater If
these five Senators voted against the bill.
In that event another session would nec
essarily be compelled to consider tariff
revision, and public sentiment would be
aroused to such a pitch that Congress,
on its second attempt, would have to
make much greater and much more gen
eral reductions than are contained in the
Payne-AJdrich bill.
Many of the commodities produced in
the Northwest are well taken care of,
from the high protection standpoint. In
the present bill. Lumber sustains a re
duction from $2 to $1.25, hides go on the
free list and coal sustains a reduction of
about 3.1 per cent, but wool, lead, sugar,
hops and agricultural products generally
are stoutly protected in the new bill, and
this fact further influenced the North
western Senators to get In line, on the
theory that they are getting more for
their states now than they could hope
to get at another session.
