The Campbell machine was standing at the roadside when the Colby car struck it. Mrs. Colby said that she crashed Into tha Campbell car during a momentary loss of control of the ma chine, which waa caused by a sudden blowout. AU efforts to apprehend the nnknown autotst who struck the Anning ma china were futile. Inasmuch aa the machine, it l said, failed to atop and offer any assistance. Tha St. Helena road yesterday was crowded with ma chines, and It waa apparently an easy matter for the offending autolut to slip through the heavy traffic unnoticed. A report that the Colby machine was also tha one which struck Mr. Annlng's car waa Indignantly denied last night by Mrs. Colby.

Japanese Ambas sador to the United States, arrived here today on his way to Washington to assume his duties. He is accom panied by his wife and K. Debuchi secretary of the Embassy. "True friendship Is only proven upon trial, and the atrength of the friendship existing between the peoples of the United States and Japan has not been known until now." was the keynote of Ambassador Ishll's measage to the peo pie ot thia country, given shortly after his arrival here. 'Japan Is now doing its utmost to put at the disposal of the United States as much as It ran of lis mercnant marine." said Viscount IshIL "The people of Japan are ready .o co-operate with the United States In every way possible. When 1 returned from my mission to this country and told my people of the spirit of the receptions iven me. the Japanese were much moved with admiration. Jaaaa Will Watch Siberia. "Regarding the Siberian question, thia developed since I left, and I can not say Just what moves have been made. Japan Is not prepared to take any hasty step unless urgent. If It should be deemed i.ecesary by all the allied powers to enter Siberia, or take some other measures. Jspan would not hesitate to take necessary steps. That is. as soon as it is the common desire ot the allied powers. "The United Stales has supplied vast Quantities of munitions to Russia. Japan also has furnished great sup plies. This is all now In the docks at Vladivostok. All the allies must take steps to keep this from falling Into the hands of Germany. Kortunately there has been no means of transport." The Ambassador was asked whether Japan is planning to send troops to Krance in view of the German drive In the west front. Xa Jaaaacae Trecsa far Fraaee. "From a tactical point or view it Is Impossible to send Japanese troops to Krance." he replied. "This Is the view of our military leaders. I am not a military expert; but they have told me this. Scientifically and tactically we cannot. It Is because of the difference in climate and food, and the language. "Tou send American troops to Fraaee. and they can eat the fooda pro duced there. Japanese must hava Jap anese food. It cannot sustain the long voyage and It would be rendered use less passing through tha tropics." Ambasaador Isbli and his party will leave for Washington at 4 o'clock to morrow afternoon. At the request of the Ambassador there were no formal ceremonies of reception. He waa met on the steamer by a party of Japanese only, and escorted to a hotel. Cataa Salvias; lateraal Trouble. China ia solving Internal troubles and Japan will not interfere with Chi ne affairs, declared K. IVhurhi. who arrived her today aa secretary to the Japanese Rmbassy at Washington, and who waa formerly first secretary of the Japanese lesation at Peking. "The internal troubles between North and South China have been grave," said lebuchl. "but the menace of the (termans in their west seems to be tend ing to consolidation of the peoples or China. Japan will not Interfere with China. No other government should. There have been men in Japan who have said Japan must settle China' troubles, but China is settling them. It may take some time before there is a union, but I believe it Is in aigm. There are very few. Germans China now. Their propaganda Is not aa serious as it was before China sent tha German Minister away, and ousted his agents." RUSSELLITES ARE TAKEN (PonHnuM From First rage.) Government officials in this state re specting this publication, although the same action already had been taken in a number of other states. Agreement Ia Violated. 1 "Before leaving, these men assured me that they would co-operate with the isavernmenl. and would not sell, at tempt to aell'or even mention the ob jectionable book or aell and distribute other like literature. The circulation yesterday of a paper carrying the care-head. The Finished Mystery and Whv Sunnressed.' can only be consld ered a direct violation of their agree ment and an abridgement or me con fldence I reposed in them. "If we find, upon Investigation to be made tomorrow, that either the draft or the espionage laws have been violated; those guilty of the offense will be prosecuted with vigor. The Government does not propose to atand for tha distribution or any anti-Ameri can nrooaea nda at this time In the name of religious liberty." The issue of the "Kingdom News,' distributed here yesterday, was pub llshed by the Internatlonak Bible Stu dent Association at New York City, under date of April 15. It was devoted entirely to a defense of "The Finished Mystery." Pastor Russell's book, the sale and distribution of which was re cently prohibited in the United States and Canada. All believers In religious liberty were asked to sign the printed petition ad dressed to President Wilson, appear- Inar on one of the pages, protesting "in the Interest of liberty and religious freedom against the suppression of The Finished Mystery.' and requesting the Government to remove all restrictions as to its use, that the people may be permitted, without Interference or mo lestation, to buy, sell, have and read this aid to Bible study." Ria tll'a Book Defeadcd. In its exhaustive defense of Pastor Russell's book, the "Kingdom News" Included a discussion of the selective draft law and the manner In which it Is regarded by member of the Inter national Bible Student' Association. Although the police consider the pub lication altogether objectionable, it is that portion relating to the draft law that Is believed will meet with the disapproval of the Federal authorities That portion of the publication re lating to th draft follow: The International Bible Students' Asso ciation recocnls that the United States Government, being a political and economic Institution, has th power and authority. under Its fundamental law. to declar war and to draft Its cltlsens Into military serv ice. It has no disposition to interfere with the draft or the war In any manner. The fact that some of Its members have sought to tsk advantage of th provision of the law has been used as another means of persecution. Congress passed the selective draft act Id Mar, 11117. and In that law pro. vlded that no person shall be compelled to ensas In combatant military service who is a member of a well-recognised religious or. ganlsation. the principle of which preclude Its members from encasing In war. Thus the lawmakers of the land recognised that there are conscientious objectors who can not conscientiously sngag in mortal com bat. The reason for this Is that some have fully consecrated themselves to the Lrd and they conscientiously believe if they sr faithful to him they shall have a part In his kingdom of righteousness, . and that if they engage in the taking of human life this will destroy them eternally. The law provides that such shall b given non combatant service. Members of the Inter national Bible students' Association have claimed classification under this statute. Liberty Bonds Not Wanted. At the police station Burtch told Cap tain Moore 'hat he had not and did not intend to buy a liberty bond unless he were compelled to In order to retain his Job at the chair factory. He admitted having subscribed to the Red Cross, but suid he was opposed to wearing a button as evidence of the fact. Simp son admitted that he had not invested in a liberty fcond; neither had he con tributed to the Red Cross. Both Burtch and Simpson are native-born American citizens and. prior to the time The Kinished Mystery" was barred from sale, served as agents for Its sale. "We were not aware that we were violating any law in distributing this publication, " said Burtch, following his arrest. "With us it is entirely a matter of religious convictions. From our in terpretation of the Scriptures, we con sider It wrong to wage warfare and take human life. But we are not op posed to war and fighting by others. food's Kingdom Believed Near. "At the ssme time we do not want to see the Kaiser win any more than does any other citizen of this country. Our reading of the scriptures assures us that this war will not last long, and when it terminates the Kingdom of God will be established world-wide, supplanting all forms of existing governments." At the time the further sale and dis tribution of Pastor Russell' book, 'The Finished Mystery," was prohibited by the Federal authorities in this state, several weeks ago, E. O. Miller and a number of other leaders in the Inter national Bible Students' Association in this city, met with R. R. Rankin, then acting United States Attorney, and gave him the assurance that they would co operate with. the Government officials in suppressing the further circulation, of that publication and other literature not acceptable to Government officials. Leader Insists Law Not Violated. When informed of the arrest of Burtch and Simpson yesterday, Mr. Miller expressed surprise. He admit ted knowledge that the paper was to be distributed throughout the city yes terday, but contended that in his opin ion the distributors were acting clear ly within their rights and with no in tention of transgressing any law. "Our only purpose in causing the paper to be distributed," said Mr. Mil ler, "was to enable us to bring before the people of thia city our view in de fense of -'he Finished Mystery' and to appeal to those so disposed to Join with us In petitioning the President and Congress to remove the order prohibit ing the further sale and distribution of this book." XIXE RUSSELLITES ARRESTED Thousands of Seditions Papers Con fiscated In Seattle. SEATTLE, April 21. Circulation of a paper purporting to have been pub lished in Brooklyn, N. Y., and carrying accusations that the Protestant - and Catholic clergy of America instigated Government action against the mem bers or the International Bible stu dents' Association and the circulation of the book, "The Finished Mystery," in an attempt to gain worldly power, was begun here today by several men, nine of whom were arrested at the di rection of Clarence L. Reames, assist ant United State Attorney-General. Thousands of copies of the paper were confiscated by the police. The publication is headed with the words: "Kingdom News," and in large type begins, "The Finished Mystery and Why Suppressed." Hp : . IP"! Always Take Your S. & H.

Phone Tout" want ads to The Ore- gonian. Main 7070, A 6095. CHICAGO. April 21. (Special.) Professor W. I. Thomas, dismissed from the University of Chicago and ac quitted in the Municipal Court of dis orderly conduct, toaay gave to the press a statement In which he sets forth his philosophy of life and action, and for the first time gives his expla nation of the Brevoort Hotel incident, where he registered himself and Mrs. Granger as husband and wife. The hotel incident is described as fol lows: "As to Mrs. Granger, she is a mature and ambitious young woman. Her life1 is mainly centered in her child and in a self-development which would lead To the development of Uta child. In her association with me she was, con sciously or unconsciously, seeking a means which would assist her to that end. She is Incapable of any of the sentimentalities which she did not say but which the reporters wished her to say. Mrs. Granger Ambitions. "She also has literary ambitions. She has read a number of my 'life his tories' in manuscript, and she has stated that ?vhen she previously lived in Chicago she knew a girl who had a remarkable history. On her own ac count she saw' this girl and arranged j to get her history, for possible literary use. She was to bring the girl to my office,' but it- developed that the girl could not come so far on that day, and it was agreed to meet In the city. "I registered at the hotel and Mrs. Granger had such confidence in me that it did not occur to her to question whether the proceeding was discreet or not. We entered the room and were apprehended before the appearance of her friend. "I am, therefore, not guilty of this charge as it is understood, but I am guilty of the whole general charge, in the sense that I hold views and am capable of practices not approved by our social traditions. Interrsta Have Wide Ranee. "I am primarily Interested in prob lems of crime. Juvenile delinquency, prostitution and other forms of social disorganization; in immigration, racial assimilation, individual and social ef ficiency, happiness, etc., and I have de veloped and exemplified in two volumes, published a month ago, a method of studying 'human behavior.' "This method may be called the case method. It involves the study of the life history of individuals, and its pur suit constitutes a dangerous occupation. It involves association with normal and moral persons, indeed, but also associ ation with prostitutes, thieves and bums. It involves the possibility of be ing eeen in places and with persons which and with whom you are not sup posed to belong. -"The explorer in this field knows that he has a chance of perishing, just as the geographical explorer knows he has that chance. I have committed not one but mary indiscretions in this con nection, but I have done no injury to society nor to- individuals, according to my standards, except in this case where the state has invaded the domain of pri vate life and Jias itself done the in Jury. Mneh Experience Admitted. There are, of course, reeiong of pri vate life in which the state and the public do not -interfere. In matters of food, clothing, in our religious, and to some extent in our artistic interests we are left unmolested.. But there is also a large region of sexual life, both inside and outside of marriage. In which the state and the public should not con cern itself. "We cannot here discuss the limits of private and public life In the sexual field, but society should certainly not interfere with the free association of mature persons capable of planning their own lives and seeking their own values, and It certainly should interfere in the case of the immature and those incapable of doing so. "My own association with women has been varied, but always of a construc tive, not a destructive kind, according to my standards. - I have met many women in many situations which would be called compromising, have gained through this much new experience, and have incidentally been Instrumental in raising a number of the persons con cerned to higher levels of efficiency." Clatsop to Start Inquiry. ASTORIA, Or., April 21. (Special.) The percentage of Class 1 men among those registered in Clatsop County for the selective military draft Is so much larger than , in other coun ties in Oregon, as well as elsewhere, that It has caused the department to start an investigation of methods in classification employed by some boards. There were 2452 men registered In Clatsop County, and of that number 1126, or nearly 50 per cent, are listed in Class' 1. DO. PENCE WILL SERVE MIMSTER TO TAKE UP Y. M. C.

Dr. Pence put the plan to his con gregation yesterday and promised them he would still be with them on Sun days, but they will spare him during the week so that he may be at the camp doing personal pastoral work among the soldiers and giving three or four addresses weekly there.
