JAP AFFAIR IMPORTANT.
Outweighs All Others, Is View Taken
by Roosevelt.
Washington, Jan. 22. In conversa
tion with some of his visitors, particu
larly Senators Flint, of Colorado, and
Fulton, of Oregon, President Roosevelt
today went so far as to say he thought
nothinir ncndinir in centres or anv of
i t Yn ilttTnntnpttt tiittwmm himanlf Anil
congress wero of half tho importance
of the Japanese-California question.
Ho urged the necessity of California's
congressional delegation using Its Influ
ence as freely as possible against what
might be resented by Japan.
Mr. Flint and other Californiana
have told the president plainly that,
while they are willing to help him,
they do not place much confidence In
tho figures of the governmtnt as to the
decreasing number of Japanese in this
couniry. The facts dispute the figures,
they declare, and add that the Japanese
are taking possession of whole towns.
The president advised his California
visitors that ho would liko to sroa fair
trial given to the promise of the Jap
anese to decrease the number of their
citizens in this country and, if this
trial shows that there is no decrease,
then he will no longer use his influ
ence, even after he goes out of olllco,
to prevent hostile legislation.
Mr. Fulton, after his talk at the
White house, said that tho feeling as
to the Japanese in his state was not as
acute as in California.
WISELY REVEALS PLAN.
Studied Bank's System and Then Jug
gled Books and Checks.
SL Louis, Mo., Jan. 22. Don Carlos
Wisely, after telling of having "plant
ed" over $8,000 in tho safety vaults
of the Portland Trust company, dictat
ed a confession of how he robbed the
Old National bank, of Spokane, to raise
money to learn tho plumbing trade.
"In Aguust, 190S, I obtained a posi
tion at the bank as blotter clerk for the
paying teller," said Wisely in his
statement. "I worked overtime at
night to svudy the bank's system of
handling money. It took me just six
weeks to find out there was a loophole
in the bank's dealings with the clear
ing house through which I could obtain
a large amount of money.
"First of all I stole $1,000 in silver
from tho vault and covered up tho
shortage by making a fictitious entry
in one of the books. Then, when a
check for $10,000 had passed through
my hands and from the bookkeeper to
tho cashier and then to the statement
clerk, I got it again and made another
entry of it. After it passed through
tho various hands a second time I stop
ped it again. Later, when another
$10,000 reached the bank from another
Institution, I took the first one to the
clearing house and got gold certificates
forIL
''I left Spokane immediately after
getting the money and went to Port
land, where I opened an account under
the assumed name of Harry Moore."
PACKERS BURN EVIDENCE.
Chicago Meat Men Destroy Papers
Sought by Government.
Chicago, Jan. 22. Smoke and ashes

of Investigation unun other promin
ent packing concerns than Morris &
Co,., tho news reached tho district at
torney's office today that thousands of
documents, claim files and letters had
been burned at tho stock yards by the
packers, who did not relish the idea of
a Federal investigation.
There was quick action on tho part
of tho Federal authorities when they
learned that valuablo evidence had been
burned. Secret service men who work
under tho supervision of tho depart
ment of justico were hurried to the
stockyards to learn what employes hod
sorted the claims and burned the unde
sirable ones found on in tho files. It
is proposed to subpoena witnesses be
foro the grand jury to investigate the
burning.

tions of misconduct in offico made
against Harper are based principally
uPn his recent appointment of Chief
of Police Kern as member of the board
of public works and upon allegations
of vice protection.
