BRITISH ALTER ALLIANCE "Mutual Aaalstance" to He Struck Oat of Anglo-Jap Treatg. TOKIO. July 11. Revision of tha Anglo-Japanese alliance is regarded as the Inevitable outcome of the Anglo American arbitration treaty. There Is reason to believe that tha negotiations for such a revision have been going on for several weeks. It la reported that Urest Britain proposed to modify the clause providing for mutual assist ance In the event of war. making the provision inapplicable In the event that either party to the ail lane la fighting a nation with whom the other baa con cluded a general arbitration treaty. It la understood Japan readily agreed to this proposition, and the Associated press Is Informed that the readiness of the Japanese Government to accept the suggestion waa due to Its entire con fidence that Japan weuld never be at war with either the United States or England. The revision probably would involve tha extension of the terra of the treaty alliance for U or years.

WILDE WILL CONTEST CAPITALIST READY TO FIGHT EXTRADITION IX COTTRT. Snertrr at San Diego Declares War rant Irom Portland Is Insuffi cient to Surrender Man. SAN DIEGO. Cal . July 11. (Special.) Louis J. Wilde, the local capitalist who the Portland authorltlea seek to arrest on an Indictment by grand Jury on a charge of alleged embezzlement in connection' with the failure of tbe Ore gon Trust A Paving Bank, will not go back to Portland without a struggle for his liberty. 'Twice has District Attorney Cam eron, of Portland, requested 8berllf Jen nings of this county to arrest and hold Wilde. Each time the San Diego offi cial refused. He takes tbe ground that the warrant sent here Is not sufficient, besides Sheriff Jennings says be has no fear of Wilde leaving San Diego. If the Portland authorities come after Wilde with requisition they will have a warm legal battle on their hands. It la said by WUde's friends that he has attorneys at Sacramento looking after bis Interests in the mat ter of a requisition and that In the event -a requisition Is granted. Wilde will fight It In the local courts. Wilde has declared that he will not go back to Portland. He says he haa no fear of the law providing ha could get Juatlce. Fair play, however, he believes will not be given him In Port land. He says his presence there is desired for no purpose other than at tempt to mulct him out of a large sum of money. REQCISITIOX IS SENT SOUTH Papers Forwarded to Governor of California From Salem. SALEM. Or.. July 11. In order to prevent any legal entanglements over technicalities that may be raised when Deputy Sheriff Archie Leonard, of Multnomah County, presenta papers of requisition to the Governor of Cali fornia for the return to this state of Louis J. Wilde. Indicted for embeixle ment. Ralph Watson. Governor West's private secretary, yesterday submitted the requisition to the Attorney-General before mailing It to Sacramento. With the exception of one of the arti cles In the application for requisition, which was not authenticated by proper stgnaturea the papera were found to be In legal form, and after correction were forwarded to the California capi tal, where they will be turned over to Leonard. Although the requisition la drawn In absolutely legal form, it is tha general belief here that Deputy Sheriff Leonard will meet with some opposition upon attempting to secure the consent of the California authorities to bring Wilde back to Portland, owing to the fact that tha wanted man la promi nent In California and Is aald to be a leading cltlsen of San Diego, where be baa lived soma time. Further ground for believing the requisition will be fought la tha f sot the authorities of California refuaed to place Wilde un der arrest and to hold him until Deputy Sheriff Leonard arrlved.

SPEECH DIRECT TO POINT When Initiative, Keferendnm and Recall Are Attacked, Senator Chamberlain Rit.es In De fense of Oregon Laws. OREOONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. July 11. Jonathan Bourne and bis latest creation, the "composite cltlsen" who Is to rule under popular f. ? ' ) :-: . i. 4 i i i - Carroll Pearae, of ' Milwaukee. government, and the Oregon Idea as well, were denounced In the Sepate to day by Senator Sutherland, of Utah, who spoke against, the Initiative, ref erendum, recall and other features that have made Oregon and her Senator conspicuous of late. He urged the Senate not to approve the constitution of Utah, which Includes these measures. In dealing with Senator Bourne and his fads. Senator Sutherland did not mince words; he went direct to the point, calling names, and then laying bare the fallacies of the Oregon sys tem, and showing the Inward purposes of many "reforms' advocated by Sena tor Bourne. Cliamjberlaln Asks Question. Once -In- the course of the speech. Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, ob jected to Senator Sutherland's state ment that with the referendum in op eration there could be no amendment or repeal of laws once passed. He said that the Oregon Legislature had had tbe courage to repeal laws thus ap proved by the people. -Well. Oregon la a law onto itself, Laaid Mr. Sutherland. 1 ""So Is Utah." retorted Senator Chamberlain. Senator Sutherland opened by saying: "Within the last few years the United Statea of America has become the field of operation for an amiable band of Insurgent soothsayers, who have been going up and down the land Indulging In cabalistic utterances re specting the Initiative, referendum and recall, and divers and sundry other ingenious devices for realizing tha mil lenlum by the ready and simple method of voting It but of Its present state of Incubation. They direct our atten tion to the clouds flying above the far western horizon, upon which the flaming finger of the Oregon sun haa traced. In radiant and opalescent tints, glowing pathways, shining minarets, stately temples, and castles and palaces, pinnacles of gold and caves of purple, and they tell us that these are the visible signs which mark tha exaot location of the new and Im proved political Jerusalem, where the wicked officeholders cease from troub ling and the weary votera do all the work. Professional Reformer HeaVd. "The voloe of the professional re former Is heard In the land Insist ently calling upon us to forsake the ancient and well-beaten paths along which we have proceeded, at least In security, for a century and a quarter and fco headlong In new and unex plored directions, luckily to find our selves In pleasant fields and firm footing or unluckily plunged over the precipice or engulfed In the dismal swamp." Accepting the application of the ref erendum principle as wise where it ap plies to such general enactments as state legislation, Mr. Sutherland con tended that the general public never would give sufficient time to general legislation to pass Intelligently upon It. What he objected to In the refer endum waa not its historical applica tion, but Its historical extension. "The people as a whole," he said, "have neither the inclination, the spe cialised training nor the time requisite to ensble them to master the thousand and one details necessary to qualify them wisely to discharge the functions of ordinary legislation. "Under .the initiative as provided proposed laws will. of course, fre quently be drafted by a clique of In terested persons, perhaps all of one way of thinking. It will not be eon-, sldered and debated In the House as legislative enactments are: there will be little If any opportunity for the consideration of opposing views In framlngthe laws. Pnn Poked at Bourne. The power of compromise, which is a necessity In tha making of lawa, will be wholly absent- The chances are altogether In favor f the adop tion of more unwise las than ever by our Legislatures." Taking up Senator Bourne and hla "composite citizen." as well as hia popular government crusade. Senator Sutherland said: "The distinguished Senator from Ore gon (Mr. Bourne) Is perhaps the great est living exponent of this doctrine. His recipe, roughly stated. I under stand to be this: Take the voices of 10 foolish men. 20 ordinary men, S rascals. It good citizens and t wise men (It any auch can be Induced to Join): mix them all p together, with the result, vox ponull, vox Del. It waa In some such fiash of inspired wisdom that tba. . , ; -e , - learned Senator,. In the course of a speerh delivered in tnis cnamDor a iew weeks ago, presenting to us his now well-known and Justly celebrated 'com posite citizen.' said: "Tbe people can be trusted. The composite citizen knows more and acts from higher motives than any single individual, however great, experienced or well developed. While selfishness Is usually dominant In the Individual, it is minimized In the composite cltl sen. "But. In spite of all the distinguished Senator from Oregon has said, certain of the unregererate seem to regard the 'composite cltlsen' as being somewhat oversaturated with the Irresponsible idealism of the Oregon school of gov ernment by ballot. Balloting; to Bo Supreme Function. "When the fullness of the now dis pensation shall be upon us. It will be made clear that any scheme of things which has endured for a period ex ceeding six months and which has only the poor merit of having worked fairly well In praotlce Is Inherently worthless as a guide to the conduct of advanced people. in short, the 'composite citi zen holds to the doctrine that mere ex perience is an ass and that common sense is outlawed by the statute of limitations. "Legislatures are to be swallowed up in the initiative and referendum, courts obliterated by the recall, political par lies Juggled out of existence by the di rect primary and upon their ruins will rise the recently organized Progrezslve League which, by the way. Just now seems to be progressing after the man ner of a woman getting off a car, with its back to the front as the supreme guide, philosopher and friend of the composite citizen.' whose offices Its members will continue to Joyously nil and whose salaries they will continue to cheerfully draw. Then, Indeed, will the political millennium be In sight. Every social and political evil will be eradicated by the simple but effective expedient of voting it out of exlstenoe. "All the operations of government lawmaking, law construing, law exe cuting will be merged in the one su preme, all-embracing function of bal loting. Recall of Judge Opposed. "Much of the' vice and fallacy of the argument for the right to recall Judges rests In this assumption that the Judge, like a Congressman or a legislator, rep resents a constituency. What Is a con- u la a. nerson for whom another acts. A constituent implies as a neoessary corollary, a representative v. i o vim A Indff-a haa no constituents: he is In no proper sense a representative oincer.

TWO WOMEN ARE BOUND OVER Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad 'Held to Grand Jury on Bonds. NEW TORK. July 11. The spotlight shifted frequently today In the inquiry Into the shooting of W. E. D. Stokes, the millionaire hotel man. After It had rested on Ethel Conrad and Lillian Gra ham until they had been bound over In 15000 bond each for grand Jury Investi gation, it was focused briefly upon James Cummlngs, Stokes' private de tective. Cummings was examined in the In vestigation of how Important letters from Stokes to Miss Graham had dis appeared, but the court later dismissed these proceedings. Charges were made against four city detectives in connection with the dis appearance of the letters. Magistrate Freschl. in deciding to bold the two girls for the grand jury, said he would ignore the element of scandal in the case. He said a prima facie case had been made, that no de fense had been offered, and therefore there was nothing to do but hold the young women. Wilfred Hart, the negro elevator boy, called by the defense, proved a disap pointing witness. He had been ex pected to testify that Stokes had asked to be taken to the girls' apartments unannounced. On the contrary, he said that earlier in the evening Miss Gra ham told him she expected a caller. Moore, the attorney, broadly intimated that the witness had been tampered with. .
