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."

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.

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." - - -. CHICAGO CENSUS SHOWS DECREASE IN SALOONS Distribution in Obedience to Ordi nance May Require Years CHICAGO, Aug. The number of saloons in Chicago, according to the latest census report received from Washington yesterday, is gradually de creasing, although the prospect is that 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 tion the city must either lose 2500 ex isting saloons or gain 1,500,000 in popu lation. ;. , The census figures on the saloons of the country show the following for de- Ca population.

NOT HERE, SAYS GRISCOM BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Aug. 2.—De nial was made by former Ambassador Lloyd C.

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.

NEW BRONZE DOORS AT CAPITOL ARE COMPLETE Symbolic Designs Decorate Pan t 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 entrance of the building.
