"May It please Tour Honor," he re

"There Is a time pardon me. Tour

Judge Lawlor a second time Inter

had to say. as follows: "Before I take

Ex-District Attorney Bylngton was the

courtroom which followed the words of
Calhoun. Bylngton said he had been

were to be afforded an opportunity to

know If the court would name a day
when such a hearing could be had.
Judge Lawlor. however, abruptly left

traversed the whole length of the court

there was loud laughter, criticism, ap

VICTORIA. R C Aug. I. Severe
fighting, with heavy Japanese losses.
Is continuing In Formosa, according to
advices received by the Saso Mini to
day. ( The Japanese are now engaged In
capturing Shlnarek Mountain, 'purpos
ing to mount artillery there to dom
inate the native strongholds, and have
lost many men by the tactics of the
head hunters In rolling heavy rocks
over cliffs on advancing parties. Rocks
weighing tons were arranged with
props to be pulled away by natives
well hidden. Sniping and ambuscades
by small parties have cost many lives.
Meanwhile the Japanese are steadily
surrounding the head hunters in the
Gaogan district and are cutting
artillery roads to the top of Bonbon,
recently captured. With field guns
mounted there and on Shlnarek It Is
considered that the complete subjuga
tion of the natives In this district will
be enforced, the campaign probably
occupying two months.
The natives attiek the Japanese with
reckless bravery, and the final strug
gle Is expected to be very sanguinary.
Numerous minor engagements are be
ing daily reported to Tokio.
A battery of heavy artillery has been
dispatched by sea to Sowo. on the east
coast, and a force Is being landed here
to push In toward the rear of the For
mosans'. . The dlflcultles of the country
are too great to allow of rapid move

that the native chieftains have re
solved to fight to the death.

WOMEN ABE FEMED
Success of Spanish Policy Is
Doubted by Dominguez.
CLERGY TOO INFLUENTIAL
Field Marshall Supports Canalejas,
but Thinks Opinions of Weaker
Sex, Dominated by Church,
Will Carry Too Great Weight.
MADRID. Aug. 3. Field Marshal Lo
pez Dominguez. who Is an ex-presldent
of the senate ana H-rrimm,
interview today, said he would sup
port Premier Canalejas In his struggle
for religious reforms, but he doubted
he success of the movement on ac
count of the Immense power of the
nlererv and their Influence over the
women, who, he declared, are com
pletely under the domination of their
confessors.
"The openness with which Premier
Canalejas Is conducting the campaign,
said the Field Marshal, "is one of the
best features of the situation. He
wants Spain and the world to know
what he is doing. If he succeeds he
will have rendered an immense serv
ice to Spain.
The agitation of the Roman Catho
lics in Northern Spain, who are In
fereat part siding with the Vatican, is
steadily assuming larger proportions.
The organisers of the proposed mani
festation at San Sebastian against the
Cabinet of Premier Canalejas and Its
policy toward the Vatican, declare that
the demonstration will take place in
spite of the refusal of the authorities
to grant permission for It. They ex
pect 100,000 churchmen to visit the
Summer capital and participate in the
demonstration before the King's Pal
ace, August 7.
The demonstration was prohibited,
It Is said, on the representation of
tradesmen that the manifestation
might easily develop Into great dis
order. ALFONSO'S APPROVAL DOUBTED
Vatican Cannot Believe King or
People Favor Premier's' Policy.
ROME, Aug. S. The note which Car
dinal Merry del Val, the Papal Secre
tary of State. Is preparing in answer to
that of Premier Canalejas will be sub
mitted to the congregation of extra
ordinary affairs. The contents of the
note will be kept secret.
The Glornale d'ltalia publishes an In
terview with Cardinal Vrncento Van-n-jtelli,
who describes Premier Canale
jas as a "terrible man," adding that It
is Impossible that King Alfonso ap
proves his anti-clerical policy.
Cardinal Vannutelll goes on to point
out that the King is a fervent Catholic
by sentiment and tradition, but that he
Is too young to grapple with the situ
ation and must be seriously embar
rassed. He adds that the Spanish people
themselves disapprove of the policy of
the Premier, as shown by the attitude
of the people of Bilbao and other Im
portant places.
Alfonso Confers With Premier.
PARIS, Aug. 3. King Alfonso, who

BOSTON. Mass.. Aug. 3. George H.
(Dutch) Schildmiller. now of Eugene,

team this Fall, has been downed by
Dan Cupid. "Dutch" started Westward

RICH MERCHANT ARRESTED
Office of Cnited States District Clerk
in Northern California In
volved in Charges of Im
migrant Inspector.
SAX FRANCISCO. Aug. 3. By the ar
rest late today of Jew Loy Sing, a
wealthy merchant. Immigration inspec
tor Richard A. Taylor asserts that he
has disclosed a method whereby hun
dreds of Chinese have obtained fraudu
lent entry to this country.
According to Taylor, the clerk's office
of the Cnited States District Court for
the northern district of California is
badly Involved by the disclosures. He
said that the arrest of Jew was brought
about by a confession of a youthful dep
uty In' the clerk's office.
. Practice Is Widespread.
Jew Ixy Sing is specially accused of
altering and changing a public document
bv substituting the photograph of an un
known Chinese for that of Gee Jung Kee
In the court record of a habeas corpus
proceeding which had resulted In the ad
mission of Kee to this country. Taylor
declares that substitution has been prac
ticed upon no less than 300 habeas corpus
court records In the District Court clerk's
ofllce here. In some cases more than one
substitution was made in the same record
until It has become practically Impos
sible to trace the original.
The Chinese who posed as Gee Jung
Kee with the latters habeas corpus
papers succeeded In securing the entry of
three Chinese as his sons and was pre
paring to have three more psuedo sons
and one daughter permitted to land when
the plot was uncovered. He then disap
peared, but Jew. who Is said to have em
ployed him, was caught.
Prospective Profits targe.
Inspector Taylor estimated that the
two Chinese expected to make 310.000
from the use of the substituted papers,
as the pretended Gee's adopted family
would have paid that sum to land here,
and more were planning to come when
admission was denied to the three sons
and one daughter.
A minimum rate for men for the use
of papers was 600 each and that for
women, who could be sold, was 33o00.
