Filed in b c h m itz Case
New York, Feb. 17.— Declaring
that war between the United States
and Japan would be the most "in ­
human event in the world’s history,”
and was " too hellish” to be thought
of, Baron K ogoro Takuhira, the new
Japanese ambassador to Washing­
ton, said today, upon landing in New
York from the steamer Etruria, that
the Japanese know absolutely noth­
ing o( a break in the cordial rela­
tions which have been historic be­
tween the two nations. Talk o f war,
Baron Takahlra declared, with much
emphasis, was utterly unintelligible
to him, unless, as some one had sug­
gested, it was spread broadcast to
serve the commercial ends of some
newspapers.
The new ambassador said there
might be some matters pending in
Washington which would require
his attention, but they were not ser­
ious. As to the cruise of the Am er­
ican fleet to the Pacific ocean, he
regarded it purely as a naval man­
euver on a grand scale— designed to
show to the world at large that
America has a wonderful naval, pow­
er which can be dispatched any­
where at a moment’s notice “ in sup­
port o f a legitimate cause which al­
ways is at the bottom of American
diplomacy.”
Baron Takahira w ill, leave for
Washington tomorrow morning at
11 o’clock to present his credentials
to President Roosevelt.
He is a
warm personal friend of Mr. Roose­
velt, and is looking forward to his
meeting with the chief executive
with a great deal of pleasure. The
baron is returning to the American
capital after an absence of two years
Sau Francisco, Feb. 14.— In what
is probably one o f the most remark­
able papers ever addressed to a Cal­
ifornia court the prosecution in tbe
San Francisco bribery-graft cases to­
day filed with the Supreme Court a
petition for a re-hearing o f the de­
cision of the Court of Appeals in
which ex-Mayor Eugene Schmitz and
the form er political boss, Abraham
Ruef, were virtually held to be guilt­
less o f extortion, the conviction of
the form er reversed and the plea of
guilty by Ruef practically nullified.
The petition openly criticizes tbs
Court o f Appeals for its decision and
charges that the court by its act had
virtually legalized blackmail in the
state.
The appeal is signed by Attorney-
General U. S. Webb,* Francis J.
Heney, W illiam H. Langdon, Charles
W. Cobb and Joseph Dwyer. The pe­
tition concludes:
W e ask for a rehearing because
the decision, with the greatest re­
spect to the court that rendered it
and to this court is:
1. Fallacious in its logic.
2. Devoid of reason to support it.
3. Unsupported by the authorities
cited.
4. Diam etrically opposed to high
authorities, which we cited in our
briefs but which are unnoticed by
the opinion.
