DISCUSS MUTUAL MATTERS
Harriman Says ht Hu Not Got tha
Rheumatism and Never Fflt Bitter
-The Peopla WU1 Probably Have
Rheumatism After This Conference
SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.
Cancelling his arrangements for a
more extended stay in California, E.
II. Harriman left Paso Robles before
daylight and came to San Francisco
with the unexpected announcement
that he would depart for New York
tomorrow night or Sunday, his sud
den change of plans he attributed to
a desire to spend a few days with
his sons before they returned to
school and he conveyed the impres
sion that he is anxious to resume his
duties laid down two months sgo.
Since yesterday Harriman has been
almost constantly in company with
Louis Hill, president of the Great
Northern who accompanied Harri
man to this city today from Paso
Roblei. Hill explained that he had
come north to discuss matters of
general Interest with Harriman. The
two pretidents will probably remain
in dote companionship until Harri
man leaves for the East. Harriman
declared to the newspapermen that
he has been doing practically nothing
for the past two months, that he is
feeling quiet well and that he will
not go to Paso Robles for treatment
but to look over the place in case
such necessity arose. He declared
that the farmers are in control of
the situation; that farmers have been
getting rich and will be richer; the
farmer will furnish. Harriman says, a
great deal of s capital for legitimate
uses and our prosperity depends up
on the purposes for which this money
will be used. If it goes Into legitimate
channels, business will be better off,
if it is tied up In new and unproduc
tive schemes it is going to be hard
for those people who need money at
regular intervals.
The most important incident of the
day was the conference of Harriman
with H. C. Nutt of the Northern
Pacific and J. P. O'Brien of the Ore
gon Railway Si Navigation Company.
Messrs. Nutt and O'Brien will confer
tomorrow with Hill who was not
present at today's conference. The
subjects under discussion related to
traffic in and out of Portland. Appar
ently. Harriman came to San Fran
cisco especially for this ' conference

lingame where he had dinner, return
ing here two hours Inter where he
joined his party at the theater. It i
understood that the entire party will

Archdeacon Emery and. Family
Arrive in Washington Driven
by Adverse Criticism
MAY GO TO BRITISH COLUMBIA
Girl and Japanese Rode on Same
Train But Did Not Recognize Each
Other In Any Way Father Seema
to Have Given in.
SEATTLE, March 26.-Driven by
adverse public sentiment from Cali
fornia and Oregon to this city, Arch
deacon Emery, .wife and daughter,
who if bethrothed to Gunjiro Aoki, a
Japanese, arrived here this after
noon and registered under assumed
names, while Aoki sought the shelter
at the home of his fellow country
men. Without making any public
announcement It is plain that the
archdeacon has consented to the mar
riage he personally attended to the
affairs of the party since their arrival.
The arrival of the party in Seattle
occasioned no unusual demonstra
tion nor caused any undue excite
ment There was little or no cur
iosity concerning them. Tonight the
archdeacon sought the advice of the
Canadian immigration officials re
garding the entry of Japanese into
British Columbia and it may be that
the marriage will take place on one
of the steamers leaving here this af
ternoon when they get outside the
three-mile limit Aoki arrived at Ta-
coma Wednesday and joined the
party in that city. Today on the
train the Japanese and his bride-to-be
sat several seats apart and did,
seemingly, not recognize each other.
A dozen newspapermen were in the
car and to all intents the Japanese
and white girl were strangers. To
night the archdeacon said he did not
know whether he would be here a.
few hours or a day and that no defi
nite arrangements have been made
for the marriage. He seemed sur
prised that so much interest attached
to their affairs.

CHICAGO, March 26- Just what
a liberal education consists of is at
present interesting the American
Academy of Medicine. The tenden
cies of the times to shave the classics
and laud the natural sciences has led
Dr. Charles F. Thwing, president of
the Western Reserve University, to
communicate the following views to
the members:
''Mere knowledge in certain limited
spheres assuredly does not make the
liberally educated man or woman. I
have known a man of high scientific
attainments in certain fields who
spent a large amount of his time in
watching earthworms which he had
made intoxicated. I have known a
woman of equal attainment in the
world of science who devoted much
time to the observation of the breed
ing of mice in order to see what .col
ors would result from various inter-
breedings.
"But I should hardly call this man
or woman scientist liberally educated.
The person who is liberally educated
has knowledge, learning and mental
attainments as well as a wide out
look and generous sympathies." ,

WASHINGTON, D. C, March 26
Through a misunderstanding, Rep
resentative Byrd, of Mississippi, and
Representative Fordney, of Michigan,
almost came to blows on the floor of
the House today, while the latter was
making a speech on the tariff.
Mr. Byrd asked Mr. Fordney if it
were not true that a combination
existed among the retail dealers of
Mississippi, to which Mr. Fordnejre
firm, which is operating in that
state, was a party. Mr. Byrd added
that he knew whereof he spoke when
he charged the existence of such a
combination.
'The gentleman does not know a
d d thing about it!" shoued Mr.
Fordney.
Immediately Mr. Byrd made his
way toward Mr. Fordney, but several
Democratic members stopped him
Mr. Fordney apologized to the House
He added, however, that Mr. Byrd
could not say that his firm was a
member of the lumber trust.
Byrd then explained that it was
not his intention to make such a
charge and th,e incident was closed.
Fordney, who is a member of the
ways and means committee, and an
avowed high protectionist, discussed
at length the lumber schedule.
When the tariff bill was laid before
the House today, Mr. Humphreys, of
Washington, took issue with some
statements made by Mr. Payne in his
opening speech regarding the number
of Orientals engaged in the lumber
mills in British Columbia. Mr. Payne
said that he thought there were fewer
Orientals working in such mills there
than in the State of Washington. The
statement was erroneous, he said He
declared that over 50 per cent of the
men engaged in the lumber . and
shingle mills of British Columbia
were Orientals; were paid lower
wages than American mill laborers,
and that therefore the cost of produc
tion was less. Out of the 13,500 men
employed in the shingle mills of
Washington, Mr. Humphreys said
there were but 41 Orientals.

Tracy Becker, who left here Wei
nesday, is now in Detroit waiting ot tj
ders from the Department of Justict X
as to his further movements. It is
stated at the department that Becker
is still in the service, but no further

ing bis status.
It is known that before Becker
reached here on his recent mission
reports had preceded him ?tom Gov
ernment officials of Oregon inform
ing the Attorney-General that be

The impression prevails that the
Attorney-General is acting on these
reports, and will not permit Becker
to continue his work in Oregon, but
the Attorney-General is today in
New York, and bis subordinates
would not deny or confirm the re
ported probable separation of Becker

The body of Mrs. Pierre Lorillard,
Jr., was sent to New York for bunal
this afternoon. The interment will
be at the old Lorillard home at Irv
ington on the Hudson. The husband,
one of the famous Lorillards of the
tobacco business and his son, Pierre,
by their own preference, were the
only mourners. Several intimate
friends of the family were present at
the funeral service. After the funeral
the most dramatic event of the day
occurred when Dr. J. Ramsey NeviH,
the coroner, laid away in the folds of
the shroud, the two notes and mys
terious trinkets found on Mrs. Loril-
lard's body after her death, all of
which were in envelopes marked:
"Bury this with my body, unopened."
One of the notejs was address to Mrs.
Lorillard by another person and the
second was in Mrs. Lorillard's own
handwriting, written evidently many
days before her death. Examination
of Mrs. Lorillard's apartments, indi
cates that she deliberately inhaled the
poisonous fumes until a gentle stupor
seized h.er and then calmly lay down
upon the rug in the bathroom to
sleep until death-
