TOBACCO GOES TO
JAPANESE BUYERS
Agents in Richmond Ship Lcat
Valued at $1,000,000
Every Year.
! ORDERED BY GOVERNMENT
Mikado's C rop Not Strong
Enough, So American. Bich J
Is Needed*.
Witli'n the corripnss ol a ilttlc room
1 in hie Mutuul Rullding two agents ol
the Japanese government arc conduct
Ink- n business or nearly vi,000.000 u
year. They are Shotchiro .Mori and
Isaburo Malsumura, representatives of
the nureu? of Monopolies: of tho lin-l
perlal Japanese government, and they
purchase every pound of American to.
baeco bought by the Mikado.
?We .-an raise tobacco in Japan:
25 per cent, cheaper than you can In (
America," said Mr. Mori, who Is conn. |
Clor in charge; "but our product is j
too mild for cigarette purposes and |
we have to blend It with the American
weed.'1
Questions by the reporter elicited
the Information that the two Japanese
in the Itlchmond olhcc are the only
agents maintained In .mcricn by ihe
Imperial government for the purchase
of tobacco. The manufacture nnd sale
of the weed In Japan Is a government
monopoly and yields an annual protlt
of (32,000,000.
Ship Cnrlomts Rvery Week*
With the simplicity and dispatch
that Is characteristic of the race, the
two men In the Richmond ofllcc have
for years been making purchases
amotsjitliiL; Into the bunoreos of thou?
sands, with hardly one person In a
thousand being aware of their opera?
tions. Carloads of North Carolina und
Virginia tobacco are shipped durinrr
Ihe season, under their orders, from
Richmond, Danville and South Ros?
ien. In Virginia and Oxfo.d, Hender?
son. Wilson. Roxboro, Rocky Mount
and Durham. In North Carolina.
The shipments . j:o to . ancouvcr.
Seattle, Tacoma and ban Francisco,
where they are loaded on steamers
bound for the Japanese ports, Tokio
and Kioto. In the pnsl week, said Mr.
Moil, a number of carloads of the lent
were shipped from North Carolina
points. I'nder orders from the govern,
inent, their purchases at. this time or
the year are intlrely In North Caro?
lina. At the openlne of the new to?
bacco season next September buying
will begin again In the Virginia mar?
kets.
The volume of business conducted
by these two agents has resulted In
the'r office beinK besieged by traffic
men of Ihe railroads, ail seeking n
slice of the forwarding.
Xo CIleivttiK Tobacco In Japan.
.From the subject of shipments and
markets, the talk veered to the popu?
larity of tlie wet-d in the cherry blos?
som country. It seems that snioklnp,
Is as universal there, as It is in Xnier
j len, where it was first practiced by
the Indians.
"Rut we don't chew In Japan," said
Mr. Malsuiiiurn. "They can't under?
stand in my country how people can
learn to chew tobacco. The.y look Up?
on It as a fearful habit. Japanese
chew only when I hoy eat, and they
never heard of chewing-gum until the
Americans began to go there."
TREE ROBBERS
Much l>nmn(tr ? narced to Crowds lit
Wllllnni Bjrd Park.
Several citizens complained last
night nbout the damage to young
trees in William Ryrd Tark at Ihe.
hand of the crowds assembled there
yesterday afternoon. Many dogwood
blossoms were literally torn off,
branches were broken t'nd carried
away, ilie charge being made that all
(lasses of people Joined in thin work
which was bitterly denounced by per?
sons at the. park who protested; No
blame was lodged against tho park
ki eper. for tho reason that he could
not be everywhere at once.
".Yon rig tr.es that were blooming
were ho badly damaged that It will
take them three or four years to re?
cover," said a citizen; who called at?
tention lo trie evil. "It was not the
work of children. Crown people, bus?
iness men who should have known bet?
ter, did not seem to realize the extent
of the ruin, nnd thoy carried orf urm
fllls of twigs and brnnch.-s. Just as
j you would find in the ease of a picnic

KILLED MAN ON
WHOM HE CALLED

ECLIPSE OF SUN
DUE WEDNESDAY
?Will Be Visible, in Atlantic
Ocean, British Guiana and
Manchester.
?'CENTRAL-ANNULAR"' STUNTS
Moon Will Hide Sun's Blushing
Face When lie Arises Soon
After 5 6'Clock.
in honor, It Is understood, of thr>
approaching Dollar Dinner In this city. |
an annual eclipse o ftiic sun will Occur
early Wednesday morning. The only
ilia whack to this feature of the civic
co-operative muvetnent is that nil who
sec It must perforce he up at sun?
rise, but that, of course, is the usual
habit nf the Richmond booster.
This eclipse. Which will be only
partial on this side of the Atlantic,
und not visible at all wrst of the Mis?
sissippi, belongs lo the variety of
tcllpscH known as "central" or "cen?
tral nnnulHr." and which nave the
peculiarity of changing their diame?
ter as seen from differing points on
the irack which the moon's shadow
follows as it sweeps over the earth.
Those who want to see the sun rise
from behind Captain .lohn A. Curtis
partly hidden by the black body or
the moon, will have to inlso t.ieir
smoked glasses towards the Cllicka
liomluy ai fourteen minutes and seven
seconds after S o'clock. The Highest
tide 111 the eclipse will be reached at
:. 5T:S. while at 0:10:7 It will be all
over.
Good views fif the eclipse may lie
obtained by all from the aigh spots in
Greenland, from around the North I'olo,
from the Chimbornr.o Park loblhousc
in the eastern part of ?exlco. and In
the Caribbean Sea. Some neat solar 1
stunts will also be pulled off in the
northeastern part of South America
and at Forest Hill.
Those desiring to view It In its com?
plete stage must station theinsMlvcs
in the Atlantic Ocean somewhere on
a line between British Guiana and
Hamburg, Germany. This Is a very
narrow track, and enre must he Taken
not to trip over the guy ropes, Tiioj
whole parade goon by so quickly thatj
before the band wagon has passed, the
calliope is treading on its heels, for
the total hiding of t'no sun will last
only between one and two seeonns
In fact, nenr the ends of the line the
totality will last only a fraction of a
second, so that chickens ranging over
the ocean will not hive time lo get to
roost before It is light again.
"As Advertised.''
Here 1s the highbrow of the story:
"Vet this may ho enough to reveal, by
n flash, the strange and sometimes
gorgeous spectacle of the solar corona,
which consists of the Illuminated
gases and dust that surround the sun.
and that have never been seen except
during n total eclipse.
"Th_j eccentricities of this particular
eclipse are expected to be manifest ed
over a distance of a few hundred
miles In the ocean., where the eclipse
will firi-t change from annular to to?
tal, and then buck to annular. An
annular eclipse Is ono In which the
moon hides only the central part of
the sun. leaving a bright ring, or an
liulus, visible all around the dark.
In tin r globe.
"Now this shadow of the moon, dur?
ing nn eclipse, Is ordinarily but very
little longer than Is necossary to
reach the earth. The sun being, In
fact, vastly larger than the moon,
inakes the shadow dwindle down to a
point, and If tho moon's distance from
the earth nt the time of the eclipse
happens to lie greater than the le.ngtn
of the shadow, the latter falls to
reach the earth, and to those who am
Situated on the earth directly under
the centre of tho shadow, whose point.
Is suspended above their heads, the
sun appears to lo turned Into a bright
ring surrounding the black moon.
"For more than an hour previous to
the charted time of eclipse, the par?
tial and crescent chase will be In pro?
gress. There is Very little to observe
Muring this period, and the moon's
.black disk slowly creeping In
front of the sun Is best watched
through n piece of glass densely smok?
ed or colored. Should the sky be par?
tially filled with cumulus, giving a
perspective effect to tho far horizon."
close watching may reveal the hwift
approach and recession of the moon's
shadow impinging upon one cloud af?
ter another. Its velocity |s nbout. ft
mile In two seconds. If caught at nil,
it will l.e seen just a few seconds be?
fore totality. In the southwest, and
speeding away In the opposite quar?
ter of the sky Immediately nftor."
i End of highbrow.1
Professor Totld. of Amtierst, cave out
the above Information. He failed To
explain how any such performance oanl
be seen In the southwest, when thej
sun rlse? in the east, and Is there
engulfed by the moon's shadow. He is
evidently trying lo give n dollar's
worth of provisions for the dollar per
Plate.

Slate Board of Education Will
I!e Asked lo Defer Action
on Certificates.
OPPONENTS WILL BE HEARD
l'roblcni of Single Book List and
Continued Contrails t omes
Up To-Day.
All sorts of objection" .ire being I
made to the proposed plan "f Issuing
certificates to school teachers in V.? j
glnla. and many will he tho kicks
registered with the State Hoard of
Education when It meets 'his morn?
ing at 10:30. Tho dissenters from the
plan so carefully worked .oil with a
view to a ganeral agreement raiigaj
from the humblest school teachers ?
to the president of one ef t! - State
normal schools for women.
As a result, Ii is impossible that the
board will to-dny dispose of thj mat?
ter, although It is stated in the
printed circulars which have been
sent broadcast, that the tentative plan
would be up for action at this meet?
ing. Some members, at least, will
Insist that time he given for all to
be heard, so that i?.'e matter may be
adjusted this lima in a manner fair
to everybody.
Object to Present Plan.
Not long since n new set of rules
and regulations governing the grant?
ing of certificates to teachers was
adopted by the State Hoard of Exam?
iners. That body has ftone out of ex?
istence. The state Board of Educa?
tion, desiring to do away with some
difficulties which have br.-n encoun?
tered, and at the same time to sim?
plify the proceduro of rcrtiflcata-glv
log. appointed a committee to prepare
a plan. It has been none and pub?
lished, bin. it seems to suit only a
few.
One trouble w-hlch has faced the
board in th* past has been the exist?
ence In Virginia of a number of
schools e^tfling themselves .col'lorn".
and Issuing diplomas to "bachelors of
arts," yet giving a course no better
than that of an ordinary public high
school?-of ten not so good.
Valor of Diploma*.
Young women who jiossess these
diplomas naturally think they should
weigh In the matter of securing posi?
tions as teachers. The State, board
does not think so. and clashes have
resulted. Some, effort has been made
to examine and grade all these schools,
putting the student on notice what to
oxpect as to the value her diploma
will he to lier. But In the plan just
formulated, but no| yet adopted, no
Institution of learning Is nam^d. All
are 'to he examined, and certificates
are to issue based on the number of
units taught;
It is impossible that the board will
make another change in Its rules until
some plan Is aiyeed upon, or at least
until all have been heard, sln^e it Is!
n serious matter to 10,nan teachers of
Virginia.
School Book Cnntrnr-t*.
Another matter to h* considered at
this meeting is the continuance of tho
primary and grammar grade school
hooks as at piV-seut. The four-year
contracts will expire on .Tillv 1. There
was some move In the last Legislature
to require the b aril to extend this
adaption for six years, and that of the
high school books, whose contracts
have two years to run. for four years,
so as to avoid the expensive changes
In books.
The Legislature took no action save
to pass a resolution asking the board,
If practicably to stand by the single
school bonk list. This, of course. Is
pr*uctlcally meaningless. Should the
bonrd decide to continue the present
contracts, with the consent of the
contractors, 11 will probably be for
two yenrs. so that ^hey will expire
along with thoop covering high school
books, two years hence.
Tot there Is opposition to this, and
always will be opposition, from ninny
teachers, who believe certain books
could be profitably replaced by certnln
I others.
PRESSIMG BIG CLAIM
Virginia Mny Oci l.nrpe Sum on Settle?
ment of Did I nnd Grant.
While the press of the country has
had more or less Innonccnt fun out 'if
Senator Ohllton's bill, indorsed also by
jtho Virginia Senators, to have an nc
countlng between this Stati und the
j United states as to the ancient land
grants to the I nion. not a few poople
believe that eventual recovery will hi
i made. The Chlltnn bill is designed to
give the Cmrl of Claims Jurisdiction
to Inquire, into and settle tho claim,
and Is based upon ths argument that
Virginia did hot give tho territory out
of which several Slates havo been
carved to the country outright, but
transferred title to the government lo
hold as trust.c for the benefit of the
I thirteen original States. There has
never been an ac ountlng. The sum
porhably amounts to ? 100,000,000. West
Virginia and Kentucky havo an inter?
est In It.
This matter was worked tip by j. 15.
Eggleston, dr.. Sap .rintendcnt of Pub?
lic instruction, and Dr. R. B. Fulton,
president of the Millar Manual School
The latter once secured final payment
from Congress ef an old claim for an?
other State. They presented tin prop?
osition to the legislature of HMO.
I which asked the Virginia delegation in
'Congress to take it up.

WILSON CANNOT
BET DELEGATION
Virginia's Representation in Bal?
timore- Almost Sure to
Be Uli instructed .
CLARK GETS MUCH SUPPORT
Harmon Strength Apparently
Goiti"; to Speaker?Jiyrd.
Keeps Up l?ight.
Observers of the slgno of the times
In Virginia Und It difficult to escape
two conclusions with regard to the
contest for the presidential nomina?
tion. Ouo of these Is that all chance
for an Instructed Woodrow Wilson
delegation from this State litis vanish?
ed. The other is that the supporters
of Governor Harmon and other candi?
dates uro slowly veering around to
the ranks of Speaker Champ Clark.
The. fight made for Governor Wilson
by Speaker Richard iivelyn Uyrd. nf
the House of Delegaten, has resulted
In uncovering n good deal of senti?
ment for the New Jersey man. One.
county has Instructed for him. while
othor delegates named to the State
convention in Norfolk next mouth are
said to he favorable to his nomina?
tion,
Machine In Opposed,
Hut with the exception of part of Un?
political machine In the city of Nor?
folk, it would .seeni that the organiza?
tion or the "machine'- In Virginia has
no intentions of permitting an In?
structed in legation to go from thlo
?State. It is argued that delegates free
to vote their choice iau wield much
greater power in the Baltimore con?
vention than If lied down by Instruc?
tions in advance. So It will go, to all
appearances.
This argument doe.i not suit Mr.
Byrd, who does not believe the dele?
gation should bo put Iti the hands of
a fow men to swing ns (hoy may see
lit. But his protestations are likely
to be unheard An unitiStrtlcted dele?
gation Is nu apparent certainty, it
also seems sure that this delegation
will be headed by Senators Martin and
Swanson, Governor Mann and Repre?
sentative I'lood,
Only In Norfolk,
The fact that part of the Norfolk
machine, minus Trehy, Is for Gov?
ernor Wilson merely constitutes one
more of those paradoxes sometimes
found In politics. It would seem that
if there was any machine which would
stand by "the boys," it would bo that
of Norfolk. And the end niny not yet
be in sight. The Norfolk machine
without Jnmes V. Trehy is much like
the fnmous piny with Hamlet not In
the cast.
So it Is that Mr. Byrd would be sat?
isfied with it resolution expressing the
sentiment that the tlrst choice of Vir?
ginia Is for Goyerhor Wilson. As this
would bo tantamount to Instructions, it
is Improbable that ho will get it.
The Champ Clark move Is rr. ther
more subtle and less manifest. There
Is no detlnlt? organization for any
presidential candidate In Virginia
save that built up by Speaker Byrd
for Governor Wilson. There nro scat?
tered clubs here and there, but no
State line-up.
ConcentrntInjr Forces,
Nevertheless. Influences have been
at work looking to a lively opposi?
tion to Governoi Wilson when the
Norfolk convention meets. Mr. Byrd
has repeatedly said that he believes
the opposition to the New .Tersey can?
didate, always concentrates oh some
one man, in order to prevent a two
thirds majority In Ralllmore.
Of course, there may be another rea?
son for the apparent growth of Clark
sentiment in this State. Clark bail
been winning delegate;,, and It would
seem that he will be second In the
running on the (list ballot In the na?
tional convention. People like to get
on the front seat of the procession,
rind nothing hns succeeded better In
Virginia during tho past week than
Clark's success.
Little is now heerd of Governor liar,
nion. although he was invited by the
Legislature to address It?an Invita?
tion at first accepted the later declin?
ed. Of course, if the <l< legation Is to
go without Instructions or recommen?
dations, no definite boom Is needed
now. That will come in Baltimore,

BAR TO CONDEMN
JUDICIAL RECALL
Virginia Ar>sociation Likely to
Record Bitter Opposition
to Principle.
While no effort ha? as yet been made
to luducn tho Virginia Stale Rar Asso?
ciation to voice lt? opposition to the
recall of Judges, there Is Hille doubt
that R would readily do so. Such
tho opinion of .lohn B. Minor, secre?
tary of the Slate association.
"Our members, so far as I have
heard them express themselves, Ere
bitterly opposed to the Judicial recill."
said Mr. Minor yesterday. "1 have no
doubt they would approve a resolu?
tion oondemulng the principle."
Tho action of tho New York State
Rar ^Vssoclatlytn, In Kossion nt Al?
bany on Saturday, In adopting resolu
tlons condemnatory of tho recall of
Judges and of Judicial decisions by
popular vote, was the beginning of a
movement to havo State association
record Its position on this question in
tlmo to bo reported nt a meeting or
the American Rar Association in Au?
gust.
It will not be necessary, to this end,
to have a special meeting of ibis
Slate's association, aa was done In
.New York. Tho regular meeting of
the "Virginia State Rar Association
will be held at Old I'olnt on August 7,
S nnd 9, two weeks in advance of the
natlonul gathering. Without n loubt,
the rec.ali will be brought before the
Old Polnl meeting.
At Albany former Judge Alton H.
I'arger warned tho association of tnc
spread of sentiment in favor of the
recall. He said the direct reason for
this movement was due to the efforts
of sorno people to set aside, decisions,
declaring laws unconstitutional, "ii
Is for that reason," he declared, "rVuit
attacks ha.ve been made upon tho Su?
preme Court of tho United States r.ntl
tlie Court of Appeals of this State by
a great leader of men."
William B. Hornblower contended
that It waa Impossible to deal out .lus?
tier by depending upon the popular
vote of the people, lie said that while
the courts sometimes erred, it would
be fallacy lo admit that the entire
judicial system was wrong.
Will Undergo Operation.
.Arts. J. E. Barrow, of Twelfth Street,
was taken to the Virginia Hospital
yesterday, to bo operated on to-day.
BRING SMITH TO
RICHMOND JAIL
Prisoner Charged With Chester?
field Murder Requires Medi?
cal Attention.
Clcinont P, Smith, who is charged
with hilling Joseph Walker at the lat
Ur'i liotne. near Reach, in Chesterfield
county, Thursday night, was brought
to Richmond from Petersburg by Sher
1 IT Gill ytestorday morning at 11:30
o'clock, llo waa placed lu the hospi?
tal ward of tho City Jail.
Since Friday Smith had been In a
Petersburg hospital, where ho was
taken to receive treatment for wounds
received in the affray. A number of
small shot from Walker's gun enter.-d
hin left arm and tide, Inflicting pain?
ful but In nowise dangerous wounds,

charge of murder, which lias been

The removal of Smith to Richmond
instead of to the Chesterfield county
jail was not explained by local police
ofllclalti last night. There Is little sen?
timent against tho prisoner In Che?
terfleld, certainly none serious enough
to be threatening If he wore lodged In
the Chesterfield Jail. It Is probable,
however, that he was brought to Rich?
mond pt ndlng complete recovery, to
receive treatment In th.- hospital vard.
NEEDS OF WOMAN
.Minister Skilfully Trnrhr? i. rOnn
Without itrTcudlng.
Sntne of the things which must nec?
essarily come with the modern broad?
ening of tlw sphere of Woman were
treated by Rev. Krank L. Wells, In his
sermon at Rrond Street Methodist
church las- night on "A Itlbie M'S.
sage to the Well Dressed Woman."
For one thing. h? had heard that
women are noi so truthful as men.
ID said he did not propose to tak?j
such a position, but If It were true,
men were to Marne, since women havo
been compelled to practice Indirection.
If women are to take their places be?
side men In the world's work, there
Is Immediate toed for truthfulness and
sincerity In their dealings with the
world.
The use of superlatives were not re?
garded by Mr. Wells as a very ad?
mirable attribute. There should be a
distinction In the use of adjectives and
adverbs, he thought, between the death
of n canary nnd a mighty catastrophe.
A foreigner baa said that American
girls are satisfied with candy and com?
pliments. This was perhaps unjust,
hut ho thought Intelligence a ihlng to
be cultivated, along with modesty and
truth.
