Ohta, consul-general of Japan to San Fran cisco, formally refuted today reports that had been spread, he eaid, "that the American cable line between Guam and Manila was being systematically tam pered with by Japanese subjects In fur therance of fraudulent transactions." Consul-General Ohta made public a letter from George Clapperton. traffic manager of the Commercial Pacific Ca ble company, which eaid: "The statement that any evidence has been discovered that any part of the Commercial Pacific cable between the United States and the Philippines and China has been tapped is untrue. All sections of this line of cable are du plexed. A duplexed cable can not be touched without destroying the bal ance and informing the officers at both ends that the cable is being disturbed and putting an end to the transmitting powers of the cable until a new balance is obtained. "Duplexed submarine cables can not be tapped." 18-YEAR-OLD HERO HOME James O'Xeill, Tacoma Boy, Sow Awaits Discharge. TACOMA. July 24.

Sunset Mildred Harris (Mrs. Charlie Chaplin) "Borrowed Clothes." t THE story of "Yankee Doodle In Berlin," which will open tomorrow at the Sunset theater, is unique. The scheme of the plot is original and its purpose is twofold. It was created to amuse and to in spire patriotism. It is not a war play. though its scenes are laid in Berlin and its hero a fighting, fearless, in trepid Yankee lad. Ridicule, . satire and burlesque are thrown around the deflated figure of the creature who sought to subjugate the world. The despicable character of the head of the house of Hohenzol- lern is proven in scenes of authentic quality, yet dashed with the spice of wit. A large cast is seen in he principal characterizations and a splendid or ganization of supernumeraries gives animation to the big ensemble scenes. Among those participating in the lead ing roles of .this Sennett master work are: Bothwell Browne, Ford Sterling. Ben Turpin, Marie Prevost and a host of other Sennett favorites. Kinograms will present shortly pic tures of life in Russia under the bolsher vikl. with specially interesting pictures made in March in the streets of Perro grad, with the nobles, men and women, cleaning the streets to get food, the great political parades with their strange cubistic art banners, bombed buildings, etc. This subject will be followed by an other sensational picture showing the exodus from Petrograd. A metropolitan newspaper office has been built for the principal scenes in "The Woman Under Cover," Sada Cow an's stase drama of newspaper and stage life, which George Seigmann is producing with Fritzl Brunette and George McDaniels in the leading rolea.

McXutt, formerly stock broker of this city, has been murdered, was expressed to Sheriff George L lieid today by his wife, who said he had been missing L.nce June 30 last. She said she was convinced McNutt had been the victim of foul play in a dispute over a debt and that his body had been carried off in his own au tomobile. The car. she declared, has been seen here since her husband's dis appearance. The sheriff has begun an investiga tion of clews which it was stated led to other cities in this section.
