REED TAKES POSITION Letter Tlirrateninjr; Kidnaping ol cx-Warilen' Son Reported. WALLA WALLA. May it. (Special.) Departure of C. S. Reed. ex-Warden of the State Penitentiary, for St. Cloud. Minn., to take the wardrnship of the Minnesota reformatory, brings to light a report that the warden's son Dixie was threatened some time afro. An ex-convlct Is supposed to havt sent the threat that he Intended to kid nap the boy because of a grievance against Mr. Keed for some punishment he had received while In the peniten tiary. That Mr. Reed attached Impor tance to the warning Is shown by the fact that the son was always guarded while going to school. One of the prison guards usually accompanied him. Mr. Heed himself was threatened occasion ally, but paid little heed to the threats. A alight cold in a child or grown person holds possibilities of the grav est nature.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 26. (Special.) "Admiral Togo once told me that for Japan to war with the United States would be to commit national harl-karl," said Dr. Hamilton Wright Mable. as sociate editor of the Cutlook. lecturer and educator, who arrived today on the Japanese liner Shlnyo Maru. after a lec-trim- in Jinn under the auspices of the Carnegie Foundation. "Japan does not want war," he aaaea. ine country is in no condition for war. "I know of no more brutal thing than to put Japan in a position where In defense of its national honor It would have to fight" While in Japan Dr. Mable delivered more than 80 lectures In the universi ties and schools of that country under the Interchangeable plan of the Car negie world's peace propaganda. Japaoeae Not Angry. "It is true that there Is feeling of quiet resentment as a result of the alien land situation, but I may say that the people of Japan are not angry. They are merely astonished and hurt," Dr. Mable continued. ' "The unfortunate thing in connection with the recent legislation which the Japanese construe as a discrimination against them is the lack of courtesy. "The Japanese are a spirited people and are susceptible of Kindness and consideration. t n Anm ritanrl ml nate between the actions of the Legislature of California and the national uovtramtni. um. ,v cannot understand why California should be permitted to enact laws which discriminate against Japan s a nation. ia n ,.n unriorntanrls that citizen ship is a matter of privilege and does not seek to dictate to mis or any uiu er country in that respect. "Japan understands that there may be some undesirable Japanese in this country, the same as there may be undesirable Irishmen. Germans, French men and Englishmen. Deportatloa Not Opposed. "I am aure that if this country will show that there are such Japanese here. Japan will be quite willing that we send them home. "The people of Japan are attached to the people of the United States. They want to bask In the good will which has always existed between the countries. They understand that the United States does not want to make anything out of them. The prosperity of the Pacific Coast depends largely on its attitude not only toward the Jap anese but the East generally." Accompany Dr. Mabie was Dr. Juichi Soyeda. a Cambridge graduate, former Vice-Minister of Finance of Japan, now a retired banker, who has been Sent to the United States as a private citizen to bring a message of patience to the Japanese of America who may feel hurt as a-result of the alien land meas ure. "Rational Japanese are not thinking about war," said Dr. Soyeda. "We Jook to the United States of America as our greatest and best friend. "It Is not to be thought of that the Japanese In the United States will not receive justice from your (jovernment But war that is out of the question. "The whole thing In this situation is that Americans and Japanese do not understand each other. "We. for Instance, do not understand the reason for this agitation in Cali fornia against the few Japanese here, and it is that an understanding may be helped, so far as my people here are concerned, that brings me to Califor-nia.- DUNDEE SCHOOL TERM END Citizen Turu Out to Witness Fine Programme of Sports.
