JAPAN CAUSES
M I
All Attempts To Settle Pending
Problems Have Been Un
, successful.
BAFFLED BY ORIENTALS
Immigration Still Main Issue Con
gress May Take a
Hand.
Washington, Nov. 12. There aro
excellent reasons for saying that the
administration Is very much dis
turbed over tho Japanese situation.
This is not to say that there is an
open rupture, as some of the best In
formed men declare that there Is no
chance whatever of war, but they aro
almost in despair over the settlement
of the Immigration and other ques
tions at issue between the two coun
tries. The "Chronicle" related last sum
mer how tho negotiations had been
coldly turned down by Japan. For a
time there was no further attempt
to make any headway in tho matter,
but after Secretary Taft and Minls-
tor O'Brien reached Nippon, the
President determined If possible to
settle tho differences between this
country and Japan before Congress
should meet. In this he has been
baffled In the devious manner pecul
lar to Japan's diplomacy, and he
seems to havo progressed slowly In
cplto of the strenuous efforts ho has
put forth.
Doubtless the President's recep
tion of the Japanese wrestlers yester
day was in line with his policy of
Catering Japanese national pride, but
while it may have pleased tho Japan
ese it has not pleased some Amerl
cans. That Immigration matters aro
still unsatisfactory is evidenced by
the disinclination of the Department
of Commerce and Labor to give out
tho statistics of Japanese immigra
tion. (
Of course, It is understood on the
Pacific Coast that tho members will
make a big fight this winter for ex
elusion. Tho President has little
hopo now of settling tho question
without legislation, or at least acri
monious debate, which will cause
hard feelings. As to the danger of
war, a man well versed in Japanese
affairs reasons that Japan is in no
condition to fight, financially or
otherwise. Moreover, ho thinks that
Japan's greatest fear is from Rudsli,
which would be a constant menace
to her if she wero waring with an
other nation. If Japan took tho
Philippines and Hawaii she would bo
"vvorso off than before, and she wiu'd
ho unablo to ship any of her pro
ducts for fear tho ships carrying
them would bo captured. Russia has
no navy, but with money sho could
buy ships anywhere in time of peace,
and the offer of a reasonable bonus
would bo a great Inducement to some
owners.

ARREST OF EDITOR
AROUSES CONFERENCE
AVesley Jones Fined For Speaking to

Court.
Portland, Nov. 18. No little ex
citement and some indignant com
ment was tho result today at a ses
sion of tho general committee of
Homo Missions and Church Extension
of tho Methodist Episcopal church at
a statement by Bishop Earl Cran
ston, that Wesley Jones, of Now Or
leans, editor tho tho Southwestern
Christian Advocate was arrested at

Portland and fined $50 for tnlkiiig

but this proposition was declared out
of tho question by Bishop Luthor II.

tion was taken and will bo forwarded
to Jones, who has already left for
this city. Bishop Cranston stated
Inter that Jones, though part negro,

A. A. U. DECIDES ON
COLLEGE ELIGIBILITY
Klcction of Officers Held in New
York Northwest Set Oil as
Separate Division.
Now York, Nov. IS. After a long
discussion at its annual meeting to
day, tho Amateur Athletic Union fin
ally decided on a status that col
lego athletes are to hold In amateur
athletics in tho future. By a resolu
tion which was Anally passed, it is
decreed that college athletes may
only register with the union from two
places, their college and their home
town. An attempt was made to con
fine college athletics to their college,
but tho delegates believed this change
too drastic. James E. Sullivan was
unanimously re-elected president of
the union and John J. Dixon was re
elected secretary and treasurer. John
O'Connor, H. G. Pennlman, George
Orton and Everett C. Brown were
elected vice presidents. In his an
nual address, President Sullivan par
ticularly recommended favorable ac
tion on the proposed Pacific north
west division advanced by delegate
Goldsmith in relation to tho sports at
the Alaska-Yukon Exposition in
1909.

WHY THE APPLES
WERE NOT SHOWN
Portland papers are giving much
promlnenco to tho potato just now,
devoting quarter-pages and half
pages to illustrated stories of tho
modest spud. In the window of the
Chamber of Commerce at Marshfleld
is a potato that has them all "faded"
and not a word said about it. This
potato Is seventeen Inches long and
weighs four pounds. It was grown at
Myrtle Point and was sent to tho
Chamber of Commerce by tho Myrtle
Point Enterprise.
The apples sent up to Portland re
cently apparently dropped out of
sight until yesterday. A. E. Seaman,
who went up to the city In advance,
was to look after their display, but
nothing was heard until the Chamber
received word from an Oregonlan
writer stating that he was unable to
And Mr. Seaman until Saturday.
Tho Oregonian regretted that tho
apples were not in place In time to
compete with the Willamette Valley
and Hood, that were played up as the
whole show last week. It is pre
sumed however, that Coos County ap
ples wero put in place yesterday, and
that people are blocadlng tho streets

JENSEN'S BODY FOUND
AFTER TWO WEEKS
South Inlet l)iappcnranc Cleared Up
by Recovery of Body Last
Friday.
The semi-mystery which the dis
appearance of Chnrles Jensen
occasioned two weeks ago last
Saturday was cleared up last
Friday afternoon by tho discov
ery of his body in tho water of South
Inlet, within a few feet of where It
is believed ho fell Into the water.
For a time, it was believed by some
at the Boutin camp that Jensen had
left the country and prepared the
surroundings for leaving tho belief
that he had been drowned. The
logging company for which ho was
working kept somebody at work con
tinually dragging tho water for the
body and looking about for signs of
it. Tho watch who was on duty last
Friday saw tho head floating on tho
water and recovered tho body. The
body seemed to havo been In an up
right position and had the appear
ance of a man standing.
Word was sent to Marshfleld that
the body had been found, and the
coroner's presence was desired. In
the absence of Dr. Mlngus, who had
departed for a business trip to Ash
land, Justice C. L. Pennock officiated
and took with him T. J. Lewis the
undertaker, and Mr. Reeder. The
party started for the scene by launch
Saturday morning, and found the
body had been taken to camp, where
an inquiry was held. The two men
who were working with Jensen when
ho disappeared, were examined, and
tho evidence substantiated a verdict
of accidental drowning.
The body was badly decomposed
as it had been In the water for nearly
two weeks. Tho trip out and back
was a tedious journey, and the party
did not get back to Marshfleld until
Sunday morning.
It has been learned by the effects
which Jenson left that he had a
brother and a sister in Aberdeen,
South Dakota, and they were com
municated with, but up to this time,
no reply has been received. Jensen
gave his name as Kelly when he went
to work at the Boutin camp, and it
has never been learned since what
his reason for hiding his identity
was. The body was brought to Marsh
fleld and kept In the Johnson under
taking rooms and buried yesterday
In the Odd Fellow's cemetery.

Good Progress Made in Adams Trial
Mason Recalled to the
Stand.
Spokane, Nov. 18. Special to the
Spokesman-Review from Rathdrum,
Idaho, says: Tho defense In tho trial
of Stevo Adams expects to conclude
Its caso on Wednesday. Rapid pro
gress was mado today by tho defense
putting on several of its most im
portant witnesses. Among them
wero Fred Price and Newt Glover.
Detective McParland was recalled by
tho dofonso to bo asked If ho told
Adams there would bo a big roward
for tho conviction of tho murderers
of Ex-Governor Stouenberg. The
court would not allow tho witness to
answer. Alvln Mason was recalled
by tho prosecution to Identify his
signaturo on a hotel register at St.
Joe, which placed him there on tho
day of August 18, going to Wallace
and returning August 24. Ho testi
fied previously ho wont to Wallaco
August 1G and 17 and returned on
tho 20. Eli Liar, captain of a river
steamer, remembered having taken
Adams down tho St. Joe river about
August S or 9.
DOG FINDS PACKAGE
OF LOST CURRENCY
A peculiar Incident happened yes
terday on Front street, ono which
probably would not find n parallel in
a day's travel. Warren Ogren was
coming down from luncheon to work
and stopped to talk with n frlond.
His dog was with him and was wait
ing about until his master was ready
to proceed. Tho dog in his scurry
ing about, picked up what appeared
to bo a package of somo sort, and
started homo with It. Wnrron saw
tho dog starting nwny and called him
back. Upon examining tho packago
ho found a check for 5105 and 5111
In curroncy, all wrapped up nicely
In a pleco of paper. Tho monoy was
turned over to Offlcor Shoop, who
during tho day located tho ownor,
Mr. Davo Roberts, who was glad to
regain his lost woalth.

Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 1G. Tho
United States mint delivered $7,000,
000 in double eagles to the sub
treasury in this city yesterday. It is
stated that within tho next three
months the mint will coin $52,000,
000 in double eagles.
This enormous amount of gold will
be distributed among tho subtreas-
uries In various par'ts of tho coutnry
and will bo employed to relieve the
money stringency.
The local mint is well equipped to
produce its share of tho shower of
gold that has begun to fall upon
every part of tho country. Many of
its employes aro working overtime,
however, It being a nightly occur
rence for coin counters, weighers,
adjusters and others to work as late
as 10 o'clock, tho usual hour for
quitting work being 4 o'clock.
New machinery has been recently
Installed in tho mint and Its efficiency
was demonstrated In tho operation
of tho "split collar," a device for
putting stars on the edge of tho new
ly designed eagles. There aro 4G
stars on tho edge of each piece, be
cause of tho advent of tho new state
of Oklahoma to tho Union.
The machinery at tho mint is
capablQ of grinding out 4000 pieces
in an hour. There is now at the mint
enough bullion for tho manufacture
of $20,000,000 In doublo eagles, but
moro bullion from various sources
Is being diverted to tho big Institu
tion. As soon as $150,000 in half dol
lars or a similar amount In quarters
Is sont out from tho mint, within a
day or two, tho attention of the
working forco will bo devoted ex
clusively to tho task of meeting the
requirements for gold.
Portland, Ore., Nov. IS. The
greatest colonist movement in the
history of tho Pacific northwest has
just closed. Tho railroads report an
increaso of practically 50 per cent
over tho largest movement previous
ly known. The Union Pacific system
alone in October and September
brought 13,753 homeseekers through
tho Huntington gateway, of whom
8,000 remained within tho Portland
trade radius, Tho Harriman lines
announco the same rates to bo In
effect next March and April.
Last spring 8,890 colonists wero
moved into the Pacific northwest by
tho Union Pacific system. Tho in
creaso is a great surprise to every
one interested in tho work, as it was
believed a year ago that 10,000
would be about tho limit reached
in a single colonist season.
The returns given are by actual
count of the cheap-rate tickets col
lected through Huntington. All are
one-way tickets, and tho railroad
people say it is practically certain
that all of these ticket-holders aro re
maining in Oregon and Washington.
The total number of the tickets
reading to Puget Sound destinations
was 4,751, and to Spokane 1,141.
Tickets with Portland destination
numbered 3,852. There wero 1.G57
to points south of Portland. Astoria
got 55, Hood River 80, Bridal Veil
28, Tho Dalles 81, Grants and Shan
iko 8G, Arlington 32, Heppner 11,
Umatilla 14, Pendleton 125, La
Grande 134, Elgin 7G, Union 23,
North Powder 11, Baker City 200,
Condon 11, Haines 14, Weston 10,
Milton 36, Walla Walla 224, Walts
burg 23, Dayton 23, Pomeroy 21,
Lowlston 30. Other points received
Immigrants less than 10 in number.
This great colonist movement to
Washington and Oregon Is tho direct
result of advertising in the middle
west and further east by tho com
mercial bodies, tho railroads and tho
Lewis and Clark exposition through
newspapers, magazines and booklets.
The railroads have given l..w one
way rates for passengers, $25 from
Missouri river points, $30 from St.
Louis and $33 from Chicago. Tho
Northern Pacific has given similar
rates from northern territory. These
rates will bo In effect again next
spring.
Meantime the advertising will go
on in greater volumo than before.
It Is reasonable to expect that tho
colonist seasons of 1908 will bring
over all rail lines to tho Pacific north
west over 60,000 people.
