PREPARES FOR DEFENSE
Ministers Ask Large Sums to Protect
Coast, Believing Neutrality Pro
tests "Were Pretexts for At
tack When Xecessary.
PARIS. May 13.-The popular outburst
at Toklo against France leads to settled
convictions here that Japan has terri
torial ambitions in Indo-Chlna- which the
French must sooner or later defend. Al
though the Japanese officials disclaim
any such intentions, this belief has taken
Arm hold ot the French public and press,
which unites In callng on the govern
ment to adopt energetic measures
strengthening the defense of Ind-Cma
and prepare for the contest which, it is
asserted, will be inevitable when Japan s
hands are freed from the Russian war.
The government authorities, while not
considering that trouble is Imminent,
share the public belief that it Is essential
to make speedy preparation for the de
fense of Indo-China. and accordingly
large special credits are being asked for.
the Ministers of Marine and War are con
sidering large augmentations of the forces
in Indo-Chlna and Admiral Fournier Is
planning a chain of coast defenses similar
to those which have encircled France.
The Admiral and representatives of the
army of the colonies will probably pro
ceed to Indo-Chlna shortly to personally
inspect the requirements.
This sentiment has been slowly ma
turing into conviction. The first sus
picions were aroused some months ago
by the publication of a detailed plan
of campaign, said to have been drawn
up in the Japanese War Office for the
Invasion of Indo-Chlna. The denials
which followed the publication of the
plans have failed to change the popu
lar belief, that Indo-Chlria is menaced,
and Foreign Minister Delcasse and
other Ministers have advised Parlia
ment to give suitable attention to the
requests of the colony.
The recent agitation at Tokio
against Admiral Rojestvensky's using
the waters of Indo-Chlna has given
new gravity to the question. Such con
servative papers as the Temps' and
Figaro say that Japan's action clearly
discloses ulterior motives against the
French colonies, while radical news
papers, like the Patrie, give sensa
tional prominence to statements alleg
ing that Japan Is able to land troops
above Hanoi, capital of Tonguln,
sweep southward with practically no
opposition, and simultaneously occupy
Kamranh Bay and other unprotected
coast points. This doubtless is exag
gerated, but it contributes to establish
the belief that energetic measures are
necessary to place the French colo
nies in a complete state of defense.
jfOT SENDING HER BEST MEN
Kuropatkln Complains ot Character
of Russian Reinforcements.
GADGEYANDANA, Manchuria, May 13.
General Kuropatkln. In conversation
with the Associated Press, has criticised
the system of mobilization and the for
warding of reinforcements, claiming that
better results would be obtained by com
pleting the units at present In the field
than bv sending to the Far. East new
corps. The General declared that the au
thorities are picking the most undesirable
of the reservists, and instanced the case
of the tenth corps, alleging that when it
was mobilized. Instead of drafting the
youngest men who had been called into
service, the oldest classes were chosen.
He said further that when the 17th corps
arrived In Manchuria It had but a third
of the proper complement of officers, and
that many of these were very undesira
ble, having apparently been shipped off as
a riddance.
The General said that nonattached
troops should be embodied Into the units
already In the field, in accordance with
the -experience of officers who had seen
the most service. This course, he added,
would effect a great saving In trans
portation, as a corps of 25,000 men with
Its baggage and trains required the same
number of cars as 100,000 men. to fill the
ranks of corps already In Manchuria.
General Llnievltch has Instituted com
pany and battalion drills to practice pass
ing wire entanglements and abattls, as
well as marksmanship and other exercises
to improve individual efficiency.
PUSH BACK RUSSIAN IiEFT
Japanese Pursue Mukden Tactics,
Aided by Chinese Bandits.
GADGEYADNA. Manchuria. May 13.
As before the battle of Mukdem the Jap
anese apparently are endeavoring to roll
back the Russian left, which, as then. Is
pushed far southward. The Russians,
advancing In three columns and driving
in the Japanese, reached and held Dangu
Pass, but since May 6 they have been
subjected to a constantly increasing
pressure and fierce night attacks. The
Japanese In the center have withdrawn
a little to the line at Machantzc and
Madiapu. three miles south of Changtu
station.
A Russian cavalry detachment advanc
ing along the Liao River west of Fen-
ghushhieng. found the whole of the
region of Dallaohe and Siliaohe swarm
ing with trained bands of Chinese
bandits under Japanese officers, acting
in conjunction with small detachments
of Japanese dragoons with machine guns,
who offered such effective resistance
that the Russians were compelled to re
turn without having attained their ob
iectlve.
During the past three days a heavy
hurricane, more violent than that during
the Mukden battle has prevailed. The
temperature Is uncomfortably warm,
and the air 3s full of dust.

SPECIAL CABLE.
LONDON. May 14. Without indulging
In alarmist sentiment. It may be asserted
that the international situation -Is not re
assuring. Plenty of combustible - matter
is In sight, and If the Russian naval com
manders pursue their insftlent policy ot
disregarding Instructions from St. Pe
tersburg and warnings from the officials
of the neutral powers, a big explosion Is
possible.
London week-end journals remind France
in a friendly way that, should the coming
battle go against the Russians, Togo may
have to hunt vessels of his defeated foe
into French territory pointing out that
France will -not. have the best ground for
complaint If awkward complications arise
after the battle.

The State Department favored the de
parture of the body from France on the
Fourth of July, but General Porter ad
vised the authorities that it would be
more suitable to have the body arrive In
New York harbor on the American holi
day. The question of which warships

WASHINGTON. May 13. President
Roosevelt Is manifesting a particular
Interest In the case of Marcus Braun,
a special Inspector of the United States
Immigration service, who Is having
trouble with officials of the Austro
Hungarian government, whon he
charges with tampering jvith his of
ficial mail.
Inspector Braun complained of his
treatment to Ambassador Storrer, who
cabled yesterday to the State Depart
ment some details of the case. In
spector Braun has made several re
ports to the Bureati of Immigration,
one of which Is sensational In its
statements. It contains allegations,
hacked by affidavits, of the Austro
Hungarlan government's efforts to
send to this -country Immigrants w;ho
may not be desirable from the view
point of the American people.
The charge Is made specifically that
the Austrian government is paying the
steamship companies a large sum each
year to bring Immigrants to this coun
try, and also that the immigrants are
being urged not to become American
citizens.
The President today called for the
reports of Inspector Braun, and will
go over them himself. Tampering with
the mall of an official in a foreign
country is a serious matter, and there
is no disposition on the part of the
'Department of Commerce and Labor
to treat the complaint of Inspector
Braun lightly.
GftPTAIN BARB WILL SI
HE WILL COM3LXD ATLANTIC IX
OCEAN RACE.
Fleet Sails Tuesday From New York
to England for Kaiser W1I
hclm Cup.
NEW YORK. May 13.-Captain Charles
Barr decided tonight that he would sail
the three-masted schooner" Atlantic In the
trans-Atlantic race for the cup offered by
the Emperor of Germany. He was in a
quandary for some time whether he would
do so, because he wlphed to be In New-
York early In June to assume command of
the 70-footer Mineola.
The Atlantic remained In South Brook
lyn today to receive her finishing touches
Her trial run will be held tomorrow.
There is no denying that Captain Ban
has not had a serene time since he took
charge of the Atlantic. He has been ready
to throw up the Job several times during
the past few days. The receipt of a ca
blegram announcing theSllness of hie wife
la Southampton has sot added to iae
charm of remaining by the boat.
At no time since he took charge of the
Atlantic has Captain Barr bad a chance
to test her sailing qualities. Sfae has
spent the entire period under his command
in grooming for the race, and has had
to make many alterations. Barr knows
less about the boat than any heat that he
has -ever commanded. It Is denied there
is any open rupture between the owner of
the Atlantic and' Captain Barr- The latter
Is disappointed that he has not been able
to put the boat to a thorough test. As
the race Is to start Tuesday afternoon It
Is unlikely that the Atlantic will be able
to have' another trial trip
The report that the Atlantic might be
handicapped by the loss of Captain Ban-
made the odds against her jump to 5 and 6
to 1 today. Previously the odds were 4 to
1, the Endymion being quoted at 5 to 1.
The Atlantic was lowered from the
Morse drydock today. Lord Brassey's
Sunbeam, which had occupied the dock
with the Atlantic, was put overboard at
the arae time. The. sunbeam was later
towed to the New York Yacht Club an
chorage, off East Twenty-sixth street, but
the Atlantic remained at South Brooklyn
to finish the work of taking on stores. A
naval officer formerly with the Hydro-
graphic Bureau -said today that in all
probability light southerly winds will pre
vail off Sandy Hook on Tuesday.
NOT FOR THEM 'TO SOLVE
Southern Baptists Advised to Give
Up Negro Problem.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. May 13. "It Is no
affair of this convention to solve the so
called negro problem. It Is our duty to
find our duty and recognize and discharge
It, God will take care of the problem."
The report of Dr. L. O. Dawson, of
Alabama, chairman of a commission ap
pointed at the Nashville convention a
year ago to Investigate work among the
negroes, was delivered before the annual
Southern Baptist Convention now In ses
sion In this city. The above declaration.
In whjch Dr. Dawson opened his report.
caused something of a surprise, and his
report as he continued was listened to
with unusual Interest. Continuing, the re
port said:
No fixed policy can with wisdom be adopted,
by a convention dealing with & shitting prob
lem. A plan pre-eminently wlee today might
be foolish tomorrow. In all our poUcies
there should be an elasticity that would ren
der readjustment or entire change, not only
possible but easy. By far the greatest force
In leading the negro up from savagery has
been his varied contact with Christian white
men and women.
The Southern Baptist Convention should
stand, as It has always stood, for the appli
cation of every possible uplifting agency to
the negro situation and therefore should
welcome every contribution from whatever
source for the proper education of the ne
groes. Chief among these contributions Is
the $130,000,000 paid by the Southern States
through taxation for this purpose.

Lewis. Rutter, a Baseball En-,
thusiast, Made Close Dc.-
cislons Unsatisfactorily.
SPOKANE, Wash.. May 13. (Special.)
Because they did not like his decisions In
their baseball game, a team of angry boy
players drove R. Lewis Rutter from the
diamond this afternoon, overwhelming
him with a shower of small stones and
sticks, until he was compelled to flee for
safety. Though he was hit a number of
times,, none of the missiles left a mark.
There is no more widely known or popu
lar man or fairer referee In Spokane than
Mr. Rutter. He Is vice-president and
manager of the Spokane & Eastern Trust
Company, director of St. Luke's Hospital
leader in the Country Club and promi
nently Identified with every move for the
business welfare of the. city, and is prob
ably the best-known society man In Suo
kane. Ho was asked to umpire the game
between the Bryant and Washington
School teams today, the contest being a
deciding one of the Intcrscholastlc series,
after a number of weeks of playing.
Rutter is a baseball enthusiast and um
pired diligently. A number of his decis
ions were questioned and several row3
were narrowly averted, as the game was
close from the start. Finally Mr. Rutter
called a player out at second, and as the
player belonged to the Bryant team which
was one run behind, the losing players
disputed the decision. A wrangle fol
lowed, and soon a handful of sand was
thrown at the society banker and umpire.
This was the signal for a fusillade of
missiles, while both sides yelled In" deris
ion. Mr. Rutter decided to end his career as
an umpire, and started hastily for an ap
proaching car. His pace was accelerated
by more stones, and soon he was doing a
brilliant sprint. Tonight Mr. Rutter be
littles the affair, but admits that he had
an exciting afternoon, and has no further
desire to umpire. Both the losing and
winning teams say he will not officiate
again for them.

The occasion was the monthly, meeting
of Al Kader Tcmpley and after a busi

tentate George H. Hill gave a charming
address of welcome and spoke In his
happiest, "most facetious vein. He point
ed out that these visiting nobles, who
would soon leave the Rose City for all
parts of this counry, would be the best
possible advertisement for the city and
the Lewis and Clark Exposition in gen
eral. Judge Cleland and John M. Hod
son also made speeches of welcome, and
suitable responses were made by visiting
nobles. The rooms were crowded, and
the event was marked by much good
fellowship. The luncheon that followed
was an elaborate one and was served
by nobles of Al Kader Temple under the
supervision of Noble F. A. Van Kirk.
There was a Hearty handclasp for visit
ing nobles as they entered, and royal
punch quenched their thirst, while the
various delicacies on the tables proved
more than satisfying. Cigars were also
served. "Portland and Al Kader Temple

PEACHES ON POOLROOM
Loser Tells New York Police When
to Make Raid. .
NEW YORK. May 13. An alleged pool
room at 45 West Third street was raided
today by Sergeant Burke, assisted by ten
detectives. The raid was made on com
plaint of William Brady, of the St. Paul
Hotel, Columbus avenue and Sixtieth
street, who gave his occupation as a
stenographer. During the early part of
the week Brady called on Mr. McAdoo
and stated that the room was being con
ducted at the address given, where he
had lost money betting on the races. The
play was In one of the most palatially
fitted rooms in New York, the main room
being 50x23 feet, most elegantly furnished
and the patrons were said to be members
of the Verdi Pleasure Club, the charter
for which adorned the walls. Beautiful
paintings hung" on the walls and- the pres
sure of an electric light button would re
move these upwards and in their places
would appear a blackboard bearing the
names of horses and the odds placed
against them.
The police gained entrance to the place
by smashing through the deadlight and
lowered themselves Into the cellar, then
ascending the stairs leading to an iron
cage which the cashier occupied. Others
of the raiding party cut through a par
tition of wood, while others descended
the flrescapc. thereby cutting off all
means of escape.
Simultaneously the raiding party entered
the main room of the place, where they
found about 300 men, whose names were
taken and then allowed to depart. Pro
grammes and all forms of racing litera
ture were confiscated, tut a remarkable
feature of the raid was that not a tele
phone or telegraph instrument could be
found. Five men were arrested, but later
released on ball.

HUNT DOES NOT WANT TO CO3E0
3Iontana Judge Says He Is Crowded
With Business.
HELENA. Mont.. May 13 (Special.)
Judge William H. Hunt, of the United
States District and Circuit Courts for
Montana, In an Interview this afternoon
said that he had not heard directly from
Washington regarding an Oregon assign
ment.
"Some little time ago," said Judge Hunt,
"I received a letter from Judge Gilbert.
of the Circuit Court, asking me if- I
cared to go to Portland and try the land-
fraud cases, but I replied that the pres
sure of business in Montana was too-great
and that I could not go."
In consequence of the crowded condition
of the docket, it is therefore regarded as
improbable that he will go to Portland.
If requested by the Attorney-General to
do eo, of course Judge Hunt would obey
the summons, but unless so Instructed he
will not go.

San Francisco, May
1305.
To the People of Portland:
As San Francisco druggists acquaint'
ed with the facts we are asked to cer
tify to you the curability of chronic
Bright's Disease and Diabetes, and
however unreasonable it may seem, yet
such Is the fact. Up to a year ago w
never heard of a genuine case ot
chronic Bright's Disease or Diabetes
recovering. Now it Is a common oc
currence in this city. A great discov
ery has undoubtedly been made. Many
prominent people here have hecovered.
And the percentage of efficiency seem3
to be very high, for there are very few
failures. Ferry Drue Co. v
