Despite Japanese denials of Interfer ence In Chinese affairs, there is every Indication that the mikado Is keenly allvo to the possibilities of the oriental situation and will not be found unpre pared 1n any event Chinese message, reaching London by way of Japan, say that Prince Chun is splitting up the Chinese army and appointing division commanders with separate authority, as he fears to trust to a consolidation of power under, any one general. This is taken to mean that serious disaffection exists in the ranks of the army and gives color to the report that a revolution is threatened.

The growing ill feeling between the members of the district attorney's office, and tha police department-waa manifested today at tha resumption of the .lnaiftut Into the sui clde of Morris Haas, assMlant Of Fran cis 4. tieney.

Coroner Iceland was determining tha status of Burns when the row started. Blggy declared that he was a higher public official - than District Attorney Langdon. .Ward took the opposite view and told the chief . that Langdon was uib superior;.' .

' of Basmussen'a murder had been made public. He stated to at least two men Friday that he was going to San Fran cisco on the steamship Rose City. Had Theorln been the guilty man. It hardly seems reasonable to believe that he would have lingered about the city so long, especially In view of the fact thfet the murderer knew he had been seen by Carner and would naturally suppose that a description of himself was in the hands of the police, enda Out Descriptions. But on the chance that Theorln really is the guilty man, the sheriff has se cured a warrant of arrest and la mak ing every effort to find him. Descrip tions of Theorln have been wired to the ports of destination of all vessels that have sailed from this part of the ooun try since the murder was committed. Theorln was supposed to have left on the Nome City, but she was searched on her arrival at Ban Francisco and no trace of the man was found. The statement that had been made that Theorln was in need of money, having been out of work for several weeks, Is not believed to he true, as he has had soma employment Tilnce his dis charge from command of the gasoline schooner Condor for running her ashore at Alsea bay. He naade one trio-. as first officer of th , Nome City, but First Officer Anderson, iwhose place he took temporarily, returned to work and Theorln found hlmse again out p em ployment.

Garner Wot Certain. I Carner of the ,harbAr boat Palmer, who was aboard the Washington at the time the dead body of Rasmussen Is sunDosed to have been lying in tne en gtne-room covered with a tarpaulin and who undoubtedly had a narrow es cape from a death similar to Raamui sen's at the hands of the latter's mur derer, states that although he doea not know Theorln, the description of the latter which -has been given does not correspond very well with that of the man he saw aboard tne Washington, He thinks the man he saw was taller than Theorln. Both, however, have round, full faces. Carner is not willing, though, to say that the two men are not one and the same. I think I would know the man I saw If I were to sea him again," he said this morning. a Theorln, who is a Swede, talks with a decided accent, and Carner. -does not remember that the man . aboard the Washington had any accent at all. It appears, therefore, to be by no means certain that Theorln Is the mur derer of Rasmussen, but as the author ities have no one else under suspicion, eyery effort Is being made to capture mm ana conrrom mm wun carner, Theorln Was aa tp lours. Sheriff Stevens has been spending the day tracing down the recent move ments of Theorln. He has ascertained that the seaman had a room at the Oil man house, wnere ne stayed at such times as he was In Portland. Tha theory that Theorln waa out of money and therefore desperate appears to nave poor foundation, xne sheriff has learned that the ex-captaln of the Condor ate most of his meals at first- class restaurants., A penniless man. or even one moderately hard up, could not affoKd to do this. Theorln when at work made good wagea and it Is prob able that he had something to fall back upon when he was temporarily out of a 300. DR. DAVIS MUST PROVE MALICE In passing on a demurrer in the suit of. Dr. L. M. Davis against The Journal for 140,000 damages for alleged libel, Presiding Judge Gantenbein in the cir cuit court this morning declared that when the case- comes to trial tha plain tiff will have to prove that The Journal acted from malice In arraigning Davis, who had been elected a member of the next legislature, for bis attitude on Statement No. 1. " . As the complaint alleged malice, the court held tnat it was sumcient and overruled the demurrer, at the,, same time pointing out that the truth of this allegation of malice will have to be proved at the trial before a case Is made out. Judge Gantenbein also said that the case does not come within the class that is actionable per se, aa there Is nothing In the publication complained of that imputes a crime to Davis, and it la not an attack on his private life. In the case of H. B. Beckett against John R. Kerr the court overruled a de murrer by Robert Shaw, In which he sotisht to plead the statute of limita tions. Shaw was defeated on this point because he is a subsequent pur rhoster and did not come within cer tain excepted clauses. ' Presiding Judge Gantenbein In the circuit court this morning overruled the demurrer to the Indictment against Drs. C. H. Atwood and C. H. T. Atwood. who are charged with committing acts outraging public decency in equipping and conducting the maternity hospital at Tremont station. Tha chief ground of demurrer was that more than one offense was charge In one Indictment. In disposing of this point Judge Gan tenbein cited his ruling in the case against Mrs. Belle Waymlre and E. E. Radding, who were convicted of a con spiracy to blacken the reputation of Mayor Lane. In that case the defense urged that more than one crime was charged, as the commission, of a crime, the breaking of a door, was alleged In connection with the main crime. Judge Gantenbein's ruling in the "Way-mire-naddlng case was upheld by the supreme court, which held that the breaking of the door waa only Inci dental to the offense eharged. The aourt applied the same rule to the At- wooa case, in wnich the alleged per forming of a criminal operation forms Incidental part .

He worked hard and hon estly for the success of H. M.

The county chairman believes that tha ef forts now being made to override tha will of the people and break down tha primary law in the state ara unwise and impolitic and that they will re dound to tha discredit of those who are fostering them. Battled at tha Polls. "I can' not see why there is any agi tation over the senatorial question at this time." said Malor Kennedy, in dis cussing the situation this, morning. "I consider that the matter waa settled at the polls last June. 1 ao not believe anything win come of the agitation now being stirred up. 1 do not believe that there Is a member of the legislature pledged to Statement No. 1 who will not carry out that pledge to Its fulfillment "Kvery member of the ligisiature who subscribed to Statement No. 1 did se voluntarily, under ho duress or com pulsion, the people taking It -for granted that the member was honest in his con victions when they cast their ballots for and elected h,im. Every member so pledged la morally bound by that ledge. Jtivery man wno tooK tne pieage nows that he is morally bound to keep It. Therefore it is my opinion that all this technical quibbling now being in dulged In will be of no effect. 1 cannot see how any member or tne legislature who took Statement No. can repudiate . It, and I do not believe any one will. Therefore It appears to me that all this agitation is out of place, and that It will fall of any effect, I have too much faith in the character of the men we send to the legislature to believe that any or them will breaK promises solemnly given, and I believe that Governor Chamberlain will be elected United States senator on the flrst ballot." How Taking a Beat. Major Kennedy Is resting from, the activities of the recent presidential election and is paying but little atten tion to the present situation. He is, however, open in his championship of tha cause o. statement No. 1 and the direct primary law, holding that tha peoDle have shown by their ballots that iey approve 01 tne laws, tne Deneves in the principle of direct election of senators as provided for by the primary law and the Statement No. 1 clause, eenA since the last election day has been an earnest opponent ol the present movo ment which has as Its object the over throw of oie law and the reversion of political conditions to the old days of tha machine and the boss.
