Pearson gave up only five hits after pitching to Just 13 men In the first tour Innings. He suddenly lost his control In the ninth, and was taken out after loading the bases on two walks and a single, but Johnny Murphy, the league's best re Uef fllnger, was called In and ended tho game by forcing Harry Dunning to fly out.

The N.rs l! printed at Uold UUL ' Proclamation Issued After Heavy Night Engagement Roosevelt Summons Cabinet to Talk Peace By the Associated Press An official Japanese announcement of policy In the Slno-Japanese con flict was interpreted by the Chinese today as equivalent to a declaration of war, If not a formal declaration. The announcement, the first of Japanese origin to"be so regarded since the outbreak of the three- month old undeclared war, came from General Twane Matsul who, In the name of the emperor, declared the army he commands on the Shanghai front "Is now prepared to use every means to subdue its oppo nents." Heavy Engagement The proclamation, Issued after tho most severe night engagement be tween Chinese land batteries and Japanese warships, was considered by observers as a forerunner of Japan's threatened major drive to smash Chi nese defenses northwest of Shanghai While the hostilities continued un abated. President Roosevelt returned to Washington after a ' three-weeks absence to discuss with his advisors the United States' newly defined po sition as a force for International peace. With the American government al ready committed to participation in proposed nine power conference, Mr, Roosevelt summoned his cabinet and his chief diplomatic advisers to discuss the extent to which the Unit ed States will cooperate in peace moves In the Orient. Speculation In some Washington quarters that the projected nine power conference might be asked to declare an economlo boycott against Japan brought no official comment. There was no Indication the United States would consent to this action. May Urge Law Itevlsal Close on the heels of the United States' designation of Japan as a treaty violator for Invading China, the possibility arose that the admin Intra t ton would father a proposal to revise this country's neutrality law. Some quarters suggested this might be a factor In President Roosevelt's consideration of a special session of congress. The Japanese foreign office In Tokyo announced a formal statement waa being drafted airing Japan's at titude on her condemnation by the United States and the League of Na tions. At a session of United States dis trict court last night, Judge James Alger Pee directed that a habeas corpus writ be Issued for Kllda Chlloquln, Klamath reservation In dian whom the government holds to bo Insane and seeks to remove to St. Bllzsbeth's hospital In Washing ton, D. O, The writ was made returnable In court hers at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning when a hearing will be held to determine whether Chlloquln Is being unlawfully restrained of his liberty. It is anticipated that the question of his sanity will be in cluded In the hearing. Chlloquln was represented by At torney Walter C. Van Emon of Kfam ath Palla. Manley B. Strayer, assis tant United States attorney repre sented the government.

Mr. Applognto Is a grandson of l.lnusny Applegule anil a veteran of the Spanish Ame rican war. Hpeaking of the first pioneers, and Including In this transitory picture the ancestors from Kuropo sottllng In America, the speaker said thnt more Impor tant than expressions of emollon and prldo today to perpetuate tholr memories Is a correct and tangible appraisal of the Important things they did n laying the foundation for present living. "Tho popular conception of the pioneer consists of covered wagons, painted Indians, buffalo, but thnt Is only setting of Ihe stage on which the real druma was enncted," Mr. Applcgate declared.

Home were tall, aome wore short; Some had long beards, others had none. Rome rugged Individual ists! They stood on their own feet. They knew no peers, and served no mnsler. This wob their charac ter, if you must conventionalize tho pioneer!" The speaker commented further that "these people had no blue prints mado In Washington, but supplied their own brains, and fi nanced themselves by the sweat of their brow. Tho meeting was held In Pioneer hall, dedicated to tho society a few years ago by Owln Hutler of Ash- Innd. Invocation was given by Hoy. James H. Kdgar of tho Presbyter Ian church at Ashland, nnd was fol lowed hy the opening address by Prof. Irving Vlnlng, who presided throughout tho day. Mr. Vlnlng re- vlnwed briefly tho first pioneer meeting In 1877 at Ashland when J. n. Duncan was president of tho society. "We are hero to pny horn sge to Ihoso emplro builders," he said. "We are setting here, aa If In a shrine, where fond pictures and herorlc figures step out of the past." An Interesting event of tho af ternoon session i was tho Introduc tion of Newton O. llnsklns of Ap plcgate, who Is 88, and (ho only surviving pioneer or the original society.
