JAP AFFAIR IMPORTANT.
Outweighs All Others, Is View Taken
by Roosevelt.
Washington, Jan. 22. In conversa
tion with some of his visitors, particu
larly Senators Flint, of Colorado, and
Fulton, of Oregon, President Roosevelt
today went so far as to Bay ho thought
nothing pending in congress or any of
the differences between himself and
congress wero of half tho importance
of tho Japanese-California question.
He urged tho necessity of California's
congressional delegation using its influ
ence as freely as possible against what
might bo resented by Japan.
Mr. Flint and other Californians
have told tho president plainly that,
while they aro willing to help him,
they do not place much confidence in
tho figures of tho government as to tho
decreasing number of Japanese in this
country. Tho facts dispute tho figures,
they declare, and add that tho Japanese
are taking possession of whole towns.
The president advised his California
visitors that ho would liko to see a fair
trial given to the promiso of the Jap
anese to decrease the number oi their
citizens in this country and, if thin
trial shows that there .is no decrease,
then he will no longer use his influ
ence, even after ho goes out of office,
to prevent hostile legislation.
Mr. Fulton, after his talk at tho
White house, said that the feeling as
to the Japanese in his state was not as
acuto as in California.

WISELY REVEALS PLAN.
Studied Bank's System and Then Jur
gled Books and Checks.
St Louis, Mo., Jan. 22. Don Carlos
Wisely, after telling of having "plant
ed" over $8,000 in tho safety vaults
of the Portland Trust company, dictat
cd a confession of how he robbed the
Old National bank, of Spokane, to raiso
money to learn the plumbing trade.
in Aguust, mm, l obtained a posi
tion at the bank as blotter clerk for the
paying teller,' said Wisely in his
statement. "I worked overtime at
night to svudy the bank's system of
handling money. It took me just six
weeks to find out there was a loophole
in the bank's dealings with the clear
ing house through which I could obtain
a large amount of money.
"First of all I stole $1,000 in silver
from the .vault and covered up the
shortage by making a fictitious entry
in one of the books. Then, when a
check for $10,000 had passed through
my hands and from the bookkeeper to
the cashier and then to the statement
clerk, I got it again and made another
entry of it. After it passed through
the various hands a second time I stop
ped it again. Later, when another
$10,000 reached the bank from another
institution, I took the first one to the
clearing house and got gold certificates
for it.
"I left Spokane immediately after
getting the money and went to Port
land, where I opened an account under
the assumed name of Harry Moore."
Thursday, January 21.
Salem, Jan. 21. Unless tho ways
and means committees of tho Oregon
legislature put on tho economy brakes
hard this session will go down in his
tory as the most extravagant that ever
Bat at Salem. It is sure to go down as
the most expensive.
Appropriation bills galoro havo been

third through. Tho calls for cash will
amount to fully $5,600,000, and may
reach $6,000,000
Four bills have been passed by tho

PACKERS BURN EVIDENCE.
Chicago Meat Men Destroy Papers
Sought by Government.
Chicago, Jan. 22. Smoke and ashes
have put an unexpected limitation
upon the government's investigation
of the beef industry. Though the goy
ernment's attorneys had been expect
ing to spring a new sensation in the
near future by turning their batteries
of investigation upon other promin
ent packing concerns than Morris &
Co,., the news reached the district at
torney's office today that thousands of
documents, claim files and letters had
been burned at the stock yards by the
packers, who did not relish the idea of
a Federal investigation.
There was quick action on the part
of the i? ederal authorities when they
learned that valuable evidence had been
burned. Secret service men who work
under the supervision of the depart
ment of justice were hurried to the
stockyards to learn what employes had
sorted the claims and burned the unde
sirable ones found on in the files, it
is proposed to subpoena witnesses be
fore the grand jury to investigate the
burning.
Recall Mayor Harper.
Los Angeles, Jan. 22. Two hundred
and fifty prominent citizens of Lob
Angeles, at a meeting today at the in
stance of the Municipal league, voted
to prepare and circulate petitions de
manding an election for the recall from
office of Mayor A. C. Harper. It will
require the signatures of about 8,000
voters to call the election. The allega
tions of misconduct in office made
against Harper are based principally
upon his recent appointment of Chief
of Police Kern as member of the board
of public works and upon allegations
ol vice protection.
