BISHOP SAYS JAPAN IS
FRIENDLY TO AMERICA
Churchman Asserts Nipponese
Have Good Feeling to U. S.
I NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Speaking from
the standpoint of thirty years' experi
ence in Japan and five in Korea, the
j:t. Rev, Herriman C. Harris. Metho
dist Episcopal bishop of Korea, who
has just arrived in this country, said
today that the friendship of Japan for
the United States was a striking char
acteristic not only of the government
but'of the people.
"Japan is bound to Great Britain by
the close and definite terms ot an alli
ance, but good feeling toward America
is inherent among the people; It is
traditional. I would not be going too
far in saying that the good will toward
this country which you encounter ev
erywhere among the people, as well as
among those in official life, is more
than a matter of mere friendly senti
ment. It has been in evidence in Japan
for fifty years, and, as I said, is some
thing which young generations of Jap
anese are taught to accept as a part
almost of national feeling.
"Now I know this may sound strange,
but I know it is true."

Meeker and Mitchell Are
Recorded
(Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Chicago million
aires were taken by surprise when
Frank W. Jones, president of the Il
linois Tax Reform league, filed with
the board of review a statement that
$200,000,000 of stocks in foreign corpora
tions owned by citizens of Cook coun
ty have been concealed from the as
sessors and have not been assessed.
It Is said by lawyers for stockhold

panies in which they are alleged to
hold stock, and the par value of the
securities. Altogether there are seven
ty men In the league's list, which Is
headed by the names of J. Ogden Ar
mour and Edward Morris.
According to Jones, some of these
men have not been assessed on any
thing like the amount of assessable
personal property owned by them for
the period beginning In 1905, and he
claims that $15,000,000 could be added
to the revenues of the county if the
legal penalty should be added.
The association gave notice to the
board of review of Its Intention to file
with the circuit court of Cook county
mandamus proceedings to compel that
body to assess the stock of foreign
corporations held by residents of this
county.
In behalf of the board of review.
Fred W. Upham said the board fixed
the taxes as the evidence it had in its
possession would warrant.

TRIP ON ATLANTIC LINER
ENLIVENED BY HORSE SHOW
Thoroughbreds Bound for Chi
% cago Put Through Paces
NEW YORK, Aug. 2—The trip of the
Atlantic line steamer Mlnnewaska from
London, just ended at this port, was
enlivened by a horse show, the first of
its kind ever held upon the sea.
The ship was carrying a consignment
of very fine horses, including some
which will be exhibited at the interna
tional horse show in Chicago.
There were 226 horses on the Minne
maska. The owners of nearly all the
animals were passengers, and the idea
of holding a horse show came about
I when these men got together to talk
I horse. The idea took at once, and the
affair was held between decks on Fri-
I day. A ring was made with a short
run to exhibit the gait of the entries.
The judge was Edwin Hobson, an Illi
nois horseman.
The horse owners on board Included
Samuel Bell and William Bell of boos
ter, Ohio; Worth Dunham of Wayne,
111.; J. Hamilton and Mr. Hawthorne,
Canada; F. Hobson, Clifton. 111.; W.
V Lewis. Wayne, 111.; W. W. Prltch
art, Ottawa, Can.; J. O. Truman, Bush
nell, 111. ,_ ■■•'
Most noted of the horses aboard the
Mlnnewaska was Shelford Pride, a win
ner of many prizes, owned by J. G. Tru
man. Truman brought over forty
Shires, among them the noted Shire
gelding Victor, who also is to be ex
hibited at Chicago.
DROUTH CURTAILS GOLD
PRODUCTION IN ALASKA
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Aug. 2.—The
severe drouth experienced in the Tan
ana valley this summer has had a
serious effect in curtailing the gold
output for the district, the water short
age greatly reducing sluicing opera
tions.
The output for the Fairbanks dis
trict was less than $1,000,000 in July,
and bankers estimate the total output
for the season of 1910 will be only
$6,000,000. Last year It was between
$7,000,000 and $8,000,000.
The labor shortage resulting from
the rush to Iditarod in June has also
served to reduce mining operations in
this district.
FARMER BOYS WANTED ON
NEW YORK'S POLICE FORCE
NEW YORK, Aug. The commis
sioner of police of this city wants
farmer boys on the force. Accordingly
what Is known as the mental test of
policemen will be made less severe.
It was explained in making the an
nouncement that this does-not mean
that farmers are any less intelligent
than any one else, but merely that tho
catch questions on city streets hereto
fore asked will be eliminated In the
case of .candidates from out of town.
The commissioner admitted with a
smile that some of his new policemen
may get lost on post, but he sug
gested that they might take maps with
them. ___________
CROP YIELD OF COUNTRY
WILL EQUAL ALL RECORDS
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.— 8. F. Yoakum,
president of the St. Louis & San Fran
cisco railroad, gave It as his belief
last night, on his return from a short
western trip, that the crop yields this
year Will be about those of last year,
despite damage in some quarters.
"Anxiety over crop reports from the
southwestern states has greatly sub
sided," he said, "on account of good
rains. This year's Kansas wheat crop
is estimated at 68,000,000 bushels its
against 82,000,000 bushels last year, but
large crops of hay and oats will prob
ably bring the total crop yield of that
state up to last year's figures,"
Narrow Shoulders
Broad Chest Is the
Latest Men's Style
'Clothing Store Athlete' Cut Is a
.Thing of the Past, Rules
;: Fashion Show
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—Well tailored
men of the coming fall will be nar
row of shoulders and broad of chest,
and the present type of wide shoul
dered but anemic "clothing store ath
lete" will have vanished from • the
realm of the elite.
Exhibits at the fashion show, which
opened formally today at the Coil
s'i.m, presaged the passing of the ar
tificial, wide shoi^der and bore evi
dence that superfluous cloth In future
will be lavished upon the chest...
Tho latest thing in keep warm
clothing is called a "great coat." Any
size will fit anyone fairly well, but is
guaranteed" to fit any individual per
fectly. The coat will bear the ulster
collar of last winter, only more so.
The "straight , front," close fitting
collar has been placed on the black
list and its most favored successor is
one that looks somewhat like the Eliz
abethan ruff.
Flowing ties have como into their
own. The only rival for popular favor
Is a parti-colored tie, which displays
an amazing set of contrasts when
knotted four-in-hand.
The narrow shouldered business suit,
In addition to its burly chest, will be
remarkable for the exceeding closeness
of Its fit around the hips. Peg top
trousers, gripping the shoe tops lightly,
will be worn as accompanying nether
garments. •. >

JURY PRONOUNCES
SKELLY GUILTLESS
(Continued from Face oA<^
ly had no need for money, thus there
was no motive apparent for the alleged
crime. >
District Attorney S. M. Davis closed
the arguments in this notable case. He
prefaced his address by stating that It
had been a difficult case for him to
approach, as he had known Skelly very
well and favorably, but that as the
logic and circumstances of the case de
veloped he was forced to conclude that
Skellv had murdered his wife, and that
the night before the burning marked
the crisis of a thing he had long con
templated: That Skelly arose on the
morning determined to murder his wife;
that he forced her into that northeast
corner, poured gasoline on her and
lighted the torch that was to consume
her; that he meant to close the pantry
door and condemn Iter to a horrible
death; that he believed the husband
took the gasoline tank from the stove
and placed it on the floor that it might
appear as though the burning had hap
pened accidentally.
RAILWAY MEN RESENT
CRITICISM OF BUREAU
Information for Public Is Only an
Incidental Item
CHICAGO, Aug. The railroad
presidents who are interested in the
establishment of a statistical bureau,
; which has been called a press bureau,
in Washington, with Logan McPherson
at its head, are expressing vexation be
cause, they say, the purpose of the
bureau has been misunderstood.
With a view to correcting this mis
understanding, O. T. Dlckeson of the
Burlington was authorized to give out
a statement yesterday. The statement,
in part, follows:
"The establishment of this bureau
was decided upon for the purpose of
procuring and compiling statistical
data with reference to the various
branches of the railroad service, bo
that the railroads themselves may have
an avenue of authentic, unbiased in
formation concerning the problems con
fronting them. In other words, the im
portant officers of one road may know
of the workings of their own organiza
tion, but they also may be unfamiliar
with facts, from time to time, relating
to the general railroad situation, and
with the idea of furnishing freely data
between railroad men the bureau was
established. ___,____. __■
"After its establishment was decided
upon It occurred to railroad men that
if they were not able themselves, under
the present conditions, to know all the
facts concerning other railroads, it was
difficult to correctly Inform the public
at large concerning the whole situation,
therefore it was determined whenever
the public or newspapers sought in
formation pertaining to any particular
question that It should be freely fur
nished, but it is not Intended that the.
bureau is to engage, in a campaign of
publicity."

It will be a good many years before
the ratio of one saloon to every 500
citizens laid down in a city ordinance
is achieved. To attain that distribu

PARTY'S LEADERS
AFTER BALLINGER
Senator Crane Finds He Is Han-
dicap to Republicans,* ', %
Is Report &s'j,
MAY RESIGN HIS PORTFOLIO
Minneapolis Meeting No Longer
Declared to Have Been
Accidental
(Associated Press)
BEVERLY, Mass., Aug. There
was Increasing evidence here today
that the recent bombardment of the
president with letters from Republican
leaders in all parts of the country pro
testing that Secretary of the Interior
Ballinger was proving an embarrass
ment in tho laying of plans for the
coming congressional campaign- is be
ginning to have effect. if not upon the
president himself, at least upon the
advisers who are closest to him.
No attempt was made today to deny
the reports that Senator Crane at the
very outset of his political pilgrimage
in the west probably had suggested
to Secretary Ballinger at Minneap
olis yesterday that . his duty to the
party might require that he sacrifice
his place in the cabinet. All that Sec
retary Morton would say, after having
considered the matter carefully all day,
was that it would be necessary to see
Senator Crane.
TAI'T'S ATTITUDE
The statement was reiterated, how
ever, that President Taft "would Dot
so much as lift his little finger, if by
so doing he" could secure the retirement
of Secretary Ballinger as head Of the
interior department."
In addition to the letters he has re
ceived, the president has heard verbally
from a number of party leaders re
garding the sentiment toward Secre
tary Ballinger. They have talked
frankly with Mr. Taft on the subject,
It Is said, and while they have agreed
with the president apparently in his
position that nothing has been proved
against Secretary Balllnger, they have
put the matter purely on a party basis,
and have said that the campaign would
be much easier with the Ballinger
issue eliminated.
The leaders have declared that the
fight is going to be a hard one at best,
and while they feel sorry for Mr. Bal
linger, they regard his presence in the
cabinet as a handicap.
OHIO RESULTS
President Taft was frankly told a
few days ago that the movement be
hind James R. Garfield in Ohio and
the votes cast for him in the state con
vention were a protest against Sec
retary Ballinger. The Ohio leaders
recognized the strength of this move
ment by making many platform con
cessions to the Garfield wing of the
party. _ ,
There was no disposition in Beverly
today to treat the meeting of Senator
Crane and Secretary Bellinger In
Minneapolis yesterday as ••acci
dental.'' It was clearly intimated, how
ever, that any move being made
against Secretary Balllnger had its in
ception with the active party leaders
and not with President Taft. The ;
president, it can be positively stated, j
will never ask Mr. Ballinger to resign.
if the secretary should feel called
upon to resign, however, there is said
to be little doubt that his resignation
would be accepted.

AVIATORS WILL COMPETE
IN BOMB-TOSSING TESTS
Fleet of Airships at Hempstead
Plains to Drop Missiles
GARDEN CITY, N. * V., Aug. 2.—
Within the next few days a fleet of
mimic airships on the Hempstead
plains will serve as the target for an
exhaustive series of bomb-throwing
tests. This new feature is the gift
of Alan Ryan, a son of Thomas F.
Ryan, who is a member of the Inter
national aviation committee.
A special bullet, five Inches in diam
eter, filled with a white powder, will
be used. When one of the balls bursts
it will leave Its mark.
The tests will be similar to those
conducted by Glenn H. Curtlss at
Hammondsport, N. V., a month ago.
General Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A.,
retired, and other army and navy of
ficers will witness the efforts of avia
tors to hit the different targets. It Is
probable the targets will bo retained
for the international aviation meet this
fall, and may be used in connection
with a bomb-throwing contest.

els and Transom
WASHINGTON, Aug. New bronze
doors to complete the series of. entrance
doors to the capitol have arrived hero
and will be placed in the" main west

The ' doors were designed by Prof.

doors are nearly eight feet wide and
thirteen feet in height.
In the design of the transom figures

by lions and led by a child, significant
of superiority of intellectual over brute
force. Beside the chariot are figures
representing the scholar, architecture,
literature, painting, music, sculpture,
mining, commerce and industry. ' On
one side of the transom panels' is a
figure of Benjamin Franklin. Medal
lions at the four corners represent Pea

tions; Emerson, philosopher; Horace

and philanthropist.
In the eight panels, four on each of
the heavy doors, are scenes symbolic
of jurisprudence, science, art, mining,

engineering, and on the side of these
panels are statuettes of famous Ameri
cans,
