CAPTURED JAP SPY
ARRIVES IN 'FRISCO
Arrested In Philippines When Caught
Milking Sketch Of American
Fortifications.
San Francisco, Aug. 13. The al
leged Japanese spy captured In the
Philippines and brought to this
country for the disposal of the mili
tary authorities arrived this morn
ing on the transport Thomas. Ho
"will be taken to Mare Island for dis
position. His namo Is Tanakl
Tsutsuti.
The government has been fortifying
tho works at Olangapo and some
time ago dynamite was distributed
In such a manner as to excite the
suspicion of foreign tampering. Jap
anese laborers had been employed on
the entrenchments but were at once
discharged and Chinese employed.
Thereafter no more dynamite ap
peared. A short time later, Tsutsuti was
detected in sketching the govern
ment works and was arrested. He
was recognized by a U. S. marine as
one of the discharged Japanese.
Since being taken into custody he has
shown signs of insanity.
HOW ABOUT THE LOAFERS?
There
Will He No Such
Under Socialism.
Problem
(Robert Blatchford.)
"Under Socialism what would you
do with loafers?" some critic may
ask. Remember that Socialism k
not offered as a perfect system of
life( but only as a very great Im
provement over the present system.
The word loafer I take it, means
one who sponges on the earnings of
other people. A loafer, then, may
he a tramp without a shirt to his
back, or he may be a landlord with
a rent roll of half a million a year.
It is stated that there are over a
million adult males in the United
States in receipt of large incomes
who never do any kind of work. In
the co-operative commonwealth these
men might continue idle, but they
certainly would not continue rich,
nor would they continue to be known
as 'gentlemen.' Besides the million
well paid and wqll fed loafers who
are at present supported by the
earnings of the poor, there are now
In this country Immense numbers of
paupers, beggars, tramps and crim
inals, and also a large army of un
employed workers. But before I tell
you what Socialism would do with
all these people I must tell you what
It is doing with them now. Do you
suppose that society does not sup
port these loafers? They live.
What do they live on?
All wealth is won by labor, is It
not? Then all tramps, thieves, pau
pers, beggars and parasites live up
on alms, prison allowances or plun
der, and all the means of support
are produced by the labor of the
-working poor. Under our present
system we not only feed and house
these loafers, but we go to tho ex
pense of master, matrons, doctors,
wardens and police, all of whom have
to be fed and paid to wait upon and
care for them.
Next with regard to the unemploy
ed. Most of these people manage to
exist, and they exist at the expense
ot those who work. Not one or twp
facts these people can 'do nothing
for their own support, arid many of
them, through want and shamo and
enforced idleness, becomo criminals
or tiamps. This is not only a waste
of power; It is also a wicked and
disgraceful waste of human souls.
Now, let us see how things would
work under Socialism.
We will divide our present loafers
Into two classes those who could
work, but will not, and those who
would work and cannot. So long as
it is possible for a willing worker to
bo forced into idleness so long will
there exist a reason for tho giving of
alms. Why do wo relievo a beggar
in tho street? Because wo arc novcr
sure that tho man Is a shirker, be
causo wo always fear thnt his penury
may bo duo to misfortune and not to
laziness. In a Socialistic stato this
doubt would disappear. Socialism
will provido work for all. Therefore
In tho- co-operative commonwealth
every man who was able to work
would bo ablo to nobly live. This
lact being universally understood, no
ablohodled man could exist without
working. A beggar, tramp or edu
cated paraslto would bo nothing but
a shameful loafer, and not a hand
would bo hold out to help him. The
answer to tho beggar or drono would
be, "If you mo hungry go to work."
If tho man refuses to work, ho must
starve, or, In disciplinary mercy, we
might call a shirker sick and send
him to tho sanitarium shop for the
work cure.
Tho nnswor, then, to the question,
"What would Socialists do with tho
loafers?" is that tho dictum, "If n
man will not work, neither shall ho
eat," will bo rigidly enforced. So
ciallsm will reform tho thief, mako
a man of the beggar and cure 'tho
lazy, whereas, undor our present con
ditions, wo make them into crim
inals, paupers or "gentlemen."
PRINTER'S GRIM HUMOR.
Leaven Mythical Fortune to Rela
tion Who Neglected Him.
Jesse Burrlght, an old printer who
died in Dos Moines recently, had a
sense of humor that did not leave
him oven when on Ills deathbed, al
though his last manifestation of thnt
trait was of n grim kind.
For years ho had not been In com
munication with his relatives, al
though ho had several sisters ami n
brother residing In California and
another in Ohio. When Burrlght
wub takon III of typhoid fever about
six wcoks ago ho notified ills rela
tives brothers, slstors, nlecea and
nophows of tho fact, and not one
of thorn responded to his appeal for
aid. Friends In Des Molnea took
charge of tho caso and helped to
hear ills expenses, Tlioy also paid
tho expenses of tho funeral.
Shortly boforo Burrlght died ho
sont out a second circular to his un
respondlng relatives. It was simply
a printed copy of a will purported to
linvn liann ilrnwn liv nttnrnnva nrwl
carrylug tho nows that ho had died.
THE DAILY
Durright in this will disposed of
about $25,000 in cash. He left hie
brothers and sisters each $5,000,
and to his other relatives he dls
trlbuted cash and real estate as if
he were a millionaire.
Then there was a hurrying of dis
tant relatives to the bedside of the
dying man. Ho was too ill to see
them when they arrived, and ho died
without disclosing the location of
his wealth.
Quarrels soon arose among tho
gathered relatives, and an attempt
was made by some of them to break
the will. The brothers and sisters
insisted that they were entitled to
the entire estate and then threatened
legal proceedings among themselver
as to the disposition of the property.
Two of the brothers engaged attor
neys and were preparing for an at
tack upon the will on the ground
that the deceased brother was In
sane and that the entire estate should
go to them. The lawyers began an
investigation by starting in to find
where their fee was to come from.
And they made a discovery.
Durright had absolutely no prop
erty. GRANDE RONDE WHEAT ICING
Operations On Conley Ranch Of 12,
000 Acres Soon To Begin
The threshing machine season
will begin at tho Conley wheat ranch
today, says the La Grande Star. Mr.
Conley says there will be about 12,
000 acres of grain to bo handled and
this will keep the machines going un
til very late in the fall. A large
quantity of the. grain will be deliver
ed as fast as threshed at the ware
houses at Conley spur on the Elgin
branch. .
Mr. Conloy expects a very fine
yield and a first class quality of
wheat. No damage was done by the
rain, the latter part of the week. In
fact, the rain" did not extend much
beyond La Grande and part of the
time it was raining harvest work
kept going right on out at the Con

His Home Searched For Papers-
Another Warrant For
Arrest.
Reno, Nov., Aug. 11. Trouble In
tho firm of Sullivan & Rice, stock
brokers of Reno, is growing moro
acute, a suit of $1500 being filed this

COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, SUNDAY AUGUST
THE BATHING SUIT STYLE IN
OUR FRIEND, JOHN BULL,
TAKEN WITH BASEBALL
Forty Tennis Playing the Game Un
der American Rules Base
ball in England.
For nearly twenty years all at
tempts to naturalize lacrosse In Eng
land have failed, but baseball seems
to be now fairly well established, and
in the course of a few years may be
expected to spread throughout the
country. J. Walter Spalding, Amer
ican sportsman, said the other day
that he thought baseball would
surely become a fixture in English
sports. He went on:
"Many attempts have been made
to introduce thq game in England,
but they have all been failures, prin
cipally because those who attempted
to Introduce the game were all Amer
icans. Last year the English foot
ball players, with the idea of using
their Idle grounds and keeping their
players in training, took up the
American game with the most satis
factory results.
"The development has been slow
but sure. Last year a league con
sisting of six clubs, while it did not
secure any profit, paid expenses, and
at the final game 4000 persons were
present. This year the original lea
gue was augmented by two others,
each of six teams, while various un
attached clubs bring the total num
ber of teams playing baseball about
London at present to nearly forty.
Teams are also being organized at
Cardiff and Newcastle and elsewhere
in the provinces.
"Everywhere a general healthy
growth of American league rules pro
vailed and the game the English
clubs put up will compare favorably
with that of the average amateur
teams in the United States. The ex
citement of tho game is catching on
rapidly and the crowds have become
so Intensely interested that in several
cases an unsatisfactory decision has
given rise to snouts of "Kill the um
pire?' i
"That, I think, shows that tho
American spirit of baseball is being
inculcated."
Increase In Timber Values.
(Umpqua Valley News.)
Timber lands are becoming more
precious every week, according to
dealers in that class of realty, and
the price has gone away beyond the
wildest dreams of the old settler,
wno seven years ago tnougut s an
acre a stiff price. In that period
timber lands have advanced from 10
cents a thousand stumpage to $5.
The fact that about all tne avail-
nolo timber In the united States is In
tho Northwest impels timber land
speculators to buy In
Oregon and
Washington, as tney realize that even
tneso larger bodies of yellow fir are
growing limited from day to day,
and that when they are exhausted
thoro will be no moro timber for use
at. home or export. Further ad
vances are predicted right along, un
til values equal those of Michigan
and Wisconsin, whero every sappling
that will produce a scantling 4x4 Is
considered a "tree." In those states
tho stumps are being dug up to make
lumber of and dead trees that had
long lain in swamps and out of tho
way places are hunted up and hauled
to tho saw mills. Men who have
witnessed tho destruction of what
were considered Inexhaustible forests
of the Middle West 50 years ago, are
quite willing to pay good prices for
tho timber lands of Oregon now, nnd
many tracts bought recently are to
bo held for tho next 20 years or so
that tho descendants of tho purchas
ers may profit by tho big prices pre
dicted when the children nro grown.
