JAPANESE LINE
WILL DIVORCE
PACIFIC MAIL
Agreement Between Toyo Kisen
Kaisha and Harriman Inter
ests to Be Terminated
Discrimination Against Oriental
Company Is Alleged in Busi
ness Handled Jointly
BEFORE sailing for Japan yester
day on the Tenyo Maru, W. H.
Avery, assistant general manager
of the Toyo Ktsen Kaisha, said that he
had been called to Japan to confer with
the heads of the Yokohama company on
*teps for the canceling of the operating
agreement between the Japanese line
and the Pacific Mail company.
The reason given for the proposed
divorc*. from "the Harriman Interests
was that the Toyo Kisen Kaisha was
not being treated fairly by the com
pany, the executive head of which Is
R. P. Schwerln.
It has been known for a long time
that the Japanese were not satisfied
•with the Schwerin "square deal," and
*v€ry*i announcement would tend t<
indicate that the camel's back has suf
fered a fracture/
Ignorant of Rupture
R. P. Schwerln, vice president and
general manager of the Pacific Mail
company, said last night that he knew
nothing of the threatened rupture.
"We have given, the Japanese," he
said, "by far the best of- it." Without
us they could do nothing. The agree
ment under which we operate together
can be terminated after 90 days' no
tice. I saw Mr. Avery today and he
gave me no Intimation that the T. K.
K. was even dissatisfied with the ar
rangement. I do not believe that there
is any intention or desire on thjfeir part
to break away."
It will take more than Schwerin's
avowal, however, to convince the T. K.
K. that they are getting the best of
the bargain. Whether Schwerin knows
it or'not, the fact that the Pacific Mail
has been "rubbing it in" on the Jap
anese line, has been common talk In
ihe steamship world, both here and in
the far east.
The Japanese ships and the Pacific
Mail liners to the orient run on a
Joint schedule. Pacific Mail officials
arranged the schedule and, whether by
design or accident, so ordered the sail
ings that one of the Japanese ships
alwaj-s has one of the big Pacific Mail
liners. immediately ahead of it to skim
off the cream.
Japanese Paid Bills
During the war with Russia the Jap
anese ships did not operate, but every
month a bill was received, from the
Pacific Mail company for the T. K. K.
half of the freight and passenger de
partments pay rolls.
If is said by travelers that at all the
Pacific Mail agencies here, at New York
and In the orient, a system is In vogue
of discouraging travel by the ships of
the Japanese line.
"Here's how they work it," said a
steamshlpman yesterday. "You go to
a Pacific Mail passenger agency and
ask for a berth on the Tenyo Maru.
"The agent looks up with a smile "and
says:
" 'Must you go on that date? Tro
afraid the .ship is pretty full and I
will not be able to fix yjju up very
comfortably. If you can wait for the
Siberia or the Korea or the Mongolia
or even the Asia or China I can fix
you up all right.*
"You insist and he gives you a berth
on D deck, where some of the very few
undesirable staterooms on the new
liners are located. If you go to the
phip and look at the room perhaps you
will take the agent's advice and wait
for a Pacific Mail ship. If you go any
way, as I did, the purser will come to
you when you get to sea, express sur
prise that the office gave you such a
berth and move you into one of the
perhaps 40 still vacant staterooms on
the upper deck. That's one of their
methods.' They have others and they're
all more or less effective."
Tenyo Has Light Cargo
The manifest of the Tenyo Maru,
which is carrying Avery to Japan, is
likely to carry more weight with Presi
dent Asano of the T. K. K. than R. P.
Schwerin's declaration that the Japa
nese an» getting the beet of the bar
gain. The Tenyo left here with less
cargo than the little City of Panama
brought the other day from the isth
mus. This cargo represents th'c rustling
ability of the Pacific Mail freight solici
tors in return for the Japanese half of
their salaries. The liner carried about
10 cabin passengers. The Pacific Mall
liner Korea, which arrived yesterday
and will follow the Tenyo August 5.
has already..b een booked to its .full
capacity by the agents, who could not
persuade ni ore than 40 to travel by the
even more luxuriously appointed Japa
nese liner. The Korea will also carry
more than 10 times the amount of cargo
carried on the Tenyo. , When. President
Asano with the Tenyo's manifest in; his
hand grets a glimpse of the Korea a
week later he will be excused if he goes
to his temple and asks his gods to
preserve him from his friends.

HIGHER DUTIES
ON GLOVES AND
HOSE WIN OUT
Warren Sacrificed in Surrender
on Lumber, Coal, Iron Ore
and Print Paper
Dollar Lumber or Defeat for Con-
ference Report, Payne's
Threat to Taft
WASHINGTON, July 27.— "Lumber
duty of $1 a thousand, or defeat for
the tariff conference report by " the
house."
This, in effect, was the ultimatum
given President Taft tonight by Chair
man. Payne of the ways and means
committee and a number of other con
gressmen. The conference at the White
House lasted until late. Payne re
mained with the president after s the
others had gone.
It was asserted strongly that the
present sentiment in the house is
against any increase in the house rate
on lumber, although a compromise rate
of $1.25 may be accepted.
Although It- was stated earlier in the
evening that the report had been prac
tically agreed to, it was declared by
several at the close of the conference
tonight that a better adjustment of the
lumber schedule would be necessary be
fore a report is made.
Gloves and Hose Go Up
WASHINGTON, July 27— From the
best information obtainable tonight it
appears that the house has won its
battle for free hides and oil and in
creased rates on gloves and hosiery in
return for a surrender to the senate on
lumber, coal, Iron ore and print paper.
The rates on these , schedules, as ten
tatively arranged, pending the accept
ance by both houses of the program
for a reduction in the duties on manu
factures of leather below the rates
fixed by the house, follows:
Oil, free; hides, free; coal, 45 cents a
ton; print paper $3.50 a ton; iron ore,
15 cents a ton. •
Lumber — Rough, $1.50 per 1, 6*00 feet;
one side finished, $2; two sides finished,
$2.25; three sides finished, (which 'may
Include' tongulng*and groovfng), $2,62 Vi;
tour. sides finished. $3. . : - ,*.
• Gloves — Not *ex*ceeding 14 inches in
length .<which..ts '.the^standard length),
$4 per dozen pairs; exceeding 14 inches,
30 cents is added for each inch. This
rate does not apply to the schmaschen.
or cheap gloves, oh which the senate
rate of $1.25 a dozen pairs is retained.
The latter rate is a. reduction from, the
Dingley rates, but the house rates ac
cepted on the higher grades of gloves
represent heavy increases over existing
duties. - . . ... ..
Hosiery valued at $1 or less per dozen
pairs, 70 cents, as against the senate
and existing rates of 50 cents.
Secrets Leak Out
Although new o^aths of secrecy .were
taken by every member of the con
ference committee before the i session
adjourned it is well understood thai
the foregoing rates represent, the un
derstanding reached on all of the sub
jects which engaged executive atten
tion.
The senate's chief victory was the
retention of its duties on lumber*
These represent reduction from Ding«
\u25a0 ley rates, but are not nearly as low as
the house rates, which began with $1
on rough lumber.. Likewise a victory
was won by the senate through the ac
ceptance, by the conference committee
of a rate of $3.50 a ton on print paper,
instead of the $2 rate fixed by the
house. • ..
. The placing of oil upon the free .list
was a foregone conclusion by reason
of the strong opposition in - both
branches- of congress to making this
article dutiable. ' "
: Lower Leather Goods •
There seems no doubt that the house
leaders will be able, to put through a
rule permitting the conferees- to make
reduction in, the^rates on manufactures
of leather. '
If there is any danger of the pro
gram failing the .-» trouble is in t the
senate. Senator Aldrich " talked with a
number of the .western senators today
and some still- oppose free hides under
any circumstances. - T It is generally un
derstood, however, that /the western
senators feel that' Aldrich did all he
could .' to continue : protection for : the
cattle industry and" that the senate will
adopt the provision. . /
It', was announced tonight that,, the
conferees , had not considered lowering
the duty, on lead ore.* The house bill
included; pig. "and 'bar lead in the same
class as lead ore, but Senator- Smoot
procured. a new classification "under "an
agreemont that the rate-should not -be
less 'than" 2 cents: The 2 cent, rate has
been accepted by the conferees.

Traveling Man Also Asked to
Leave for Violation of
Fixed Rule
The Inner circle of Great Britain's
social aristocracy was -shocked little
less than a week ago to hear that Mrs.
John William Randolph Kennedy was
about to sue her husband for' divorce.
Mrs. Kennedy is young, a dashing
blonde, and formerly an actress. She
was married to the son of Hon. William
Rann Kennedy, judge of the queen's
bench division of the high court of
justice, queen's counsel, and a mem
ber of the Athenaeum, Brook's and Sa
vile clubs. Although she said that she
was hurrying home to London to bring
suit for divorce, she is still - in , San
Francisco, but not at the Manx hotel,
where she registered on July 15.
The London haut ton, however, has
in store a shock exceeding .the an
nouncement of the ; < contemplated di
vorce. For Mrs. John William Ran
dolph Kennedy, actress, well known on
the English stage and wife of the
nephew of Charles Rann Kennedy, the
author of "The Servant in the House,"
was requested to leave the Hotel Manx
yesterday for violating one of the rules
which obtain in every first class hos
telry.'. At the same.time. time a traveling
man from New York- named Jack Reed
was given quick passage. Miss Coul
ter. Portland, and -New York, who has
occupied apartments with Mrs. Ken
nedy, left with her. when she was ex
pelled.. . \u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0.-.. .
During their stay\ at the Hotel Manx
the young women moved in a gay cir
cle and were much entertained.'
On account of her youth and beauty
Mrs. Kennedy attracted much atten
tion. Her coming and going through
the- hotel lobby always created a stir
among the; loungers.. . \u0084' \u0084 \u25a0.
Late .Mondaj ;-,Sljrht , Mrs.. Kanne.dy,
had a scenr^wtUvXhe: manager* of ith.«,
hotel. He charged her with breaking
'one of the inviolable rules- of the
house. \u25a0 , . -, . • . .
..Words were not minced, and she was
told that it was only because it was
already late that she. was allowed to
remain in the hotel overnight. At noon
yesterday Mrs. Kennedy had her grips
packed and accompanied by Miss Coul
ter went to the St] Francis. '
Reed was less "leniently dealt with.
He had to seek the shelter of the night
or the hospitality of- some other^hotel.
He telegraphed, back to his friends in
the afternoon, -acquainting them with
the fact that. he had been pitched, out,
bag and baggage. He left town imme
diately. .

Phillipsburg, Kan., "arrived here
tonight from " Guadalajara, . Mcx., the
scene of riots Saturday and Sunday.
Bissell was in the Garcii. hotel/which
was wrecked by a mob, when the two
Americans were wounded. Bissell left
Guadalajara on the; same train which
carried away the Corral-Diaz speakers,
who caused the riots.
Story of Riot
fi: His story of the 'uprising follows:
"Saturday morning 16 Corral and Dia
"Saturday .morning .16 Corral and
Diaz speakers came to Guadalajara to
hold a meeting. They went to the plaza
Saturday night, but the Reyestas drove
they to the Garcia hotel and broke out
the windows in the south side of the
hotel with rocks. •
"Sunday morning at 11 o'clock the
Corral-Diaz speakers planned to hold
a meeting in (he Dellado theater.
"The Reyestas went down there and
erected a small barricade , between" the
Plaza de Arms .and the theater. They
tore up cobblestones and piled furni
ture across the gap. In a little while
two squadrons of cavalry.; came charg
ing up. I hid behind a stone pillar. The
cavalry swept over the barricade,
shooting into the crowd of about 500
or 600 people behind it.' and after they
had shot a path, to the- other side made
a return charge with drawn sabers,
slashing all who came in their way.
The Reyestas the fire, bit
with litle effect.
Killed and Wounded
. "I belicye^seven were killed at this
liia cc, about 40 seriously wounded "and
abouf^OO arrested. ; •
\u25a0 "No meeting was held In the. Dellado
theater. .' '
, "Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock,
when I was at the Hotel Garcia, a mob
of between 2,500 and 3,000 came upon
the place'from' three sides. ? They were
all shouting. to' Diaz! Death to
Corral! Viva Reyes!' Some of them
were armed. -They sacked the barber
shop and started in the' main "entrance
of the hotel. ;
"Two Americans on an upper balcony
opened fire : and another joined them
from a room. An English girl about 16
years, old got a six shooter from some
where and- began to fire into the crowd.
" "I saw » three men -killed near the
hotel entrance! / •_ •
"Two Americans were injured. There
were about 25 foreigners In the hotel.
"Finally the cavalry arrived and dis
persed the mob. Practically every win
dow In the hotel was broken. Detach
ments of cavalry hunted down flying
groups of the Reyestas, and there were
several hundred herded iip near the ho
tel. I believed they must have arrested
1,000 men. The; Corral-Diaz men' were
then escorted to the train under guard
of a detachment of cavalry", arid; infan
trymen were put on the" train to pro
tect them from violence. I left on the
same train. The-speakers in a special
car went' to Mexico City.
: "I saw several bodies in the streets,
and many were, wounded in the cavalry
charges."

worked toward the rigid figure I
watched the glow of the cigar and
saw -that It lessened as I made my way
through the Wreckage. For a moment
I lost consciousness, and then, with the
return of my groping Intelligence, I
could see again the faint glow, of the
cigar. Catching and holding my
struggling wits, . when almost within
hand's reach -of the stark figure I
stopped with that Impulse to do some
thing of inconsequence, which so often
comes at tense moments, and rolled a
cigarette. '
" 'Give me a light from your cigar,* I
said. * Just then the point of light
died. I reached out In the darkness
and touched a rigid hand .clutching a
twisted piece of wreckage. -A. mo

with a lantern. The. man stood erect,
the cigar still in his mouth,".- but his
eyes were closed. \An Iron bar had

Orvflle Wright, With Passenger,
Remains in Air I Hour 12
Minutes 40 Seconds
Travels Twice the Distance
Across the English Channel
in Perfect Flight
Could Have Remained Aloft. for
Another Hour if He Had
So Desired
Given Great Ovation and Most
Warmly Congratulated by
President Taft
(Special Dispatch to Tie Call]
WASHINGTON', July 27.—
"Bully for yon, brother; It was
beautiful.* This was the
greeting of .Miss Catherine Wright as
she embraced her brother, Orville,
when he and a fellow passenger
alighted - from his airship at Fort
Myer (his. afternoon, after breaking
the world's record for time and dis
tance. President Taft, who witnessed
the flight, hastened to extend ' his
felicitations. . .
"I : congratulate you heartily, sir,"
said' the president warmly. "It was
a great, exhibition."
The remarkable achievement" was
heralded by a deafening chorus, of
automobile horns, enthusiastic dicers
ami shouts of joy. Wright was deep
ly touched by the ovation that greeted
his descent. .
For 1 hour 12 minutes and 40 sec
onds, covering 50 miles, more than
twice the distance aero** the^ English
channel, Wright navigated the higher
atmosphere. Seated beside him was
Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm of the
army signal corps. Thus was com
pleted the first of two tests imposed
by the government. With today's per
formance Wright fulfilled the endur
ance requirements. A flight for. speed
will be made tomorrow, in which the
aviator, accompanied by Lieutenant
Benjamin Foulers of the signal corps,
will sail to Alexandria, Va.
The- former 'record was made last
year in France by Wilbur Wright, who.
Vith Professor Palntove of the French
institute as a companion, remained
in the air 1 hour -9 minutes and 30
seconds.. Wilbur Wright was an eager
spectator of today's triumph.
Forty Miles an Hour
Seventy-four times Wright circled
the drill grounds today, cutting through
the air'at a rate of -40 miles an hour.
The test required an hour's flight. As
the watches clicked off the time, a
great' cheer went up from the crowd
that had assembled. President Taft
led In the demonstration as he watched
the graceful craft sweep with easy and
perfect poise about the corners of th«
field. After 1? minutes Wright de
scended with a beautiful dip. He-could
have remained In air the full thre«
hours and a half, the limit allowed
by : the capacity of his gasoline supply
tank/ It was almost dark when he
reached- the 'earth and it was thought
advisable to" postpone .the second! teat
today.
Tragedy of Former Flight
' Poignancy was added to- Orvllle
Wright's achievement by the realiza
tion that upon his previous attempt
to navigate the air with* a passenger.
Lieutenant Selifrldge was«killed and he
himself was terribly injured. His sis
ter. Miss Catherine Wright, anxiously
watched him and when he returned
unhurt from his . flight, she embraced
jhim eagerly, and said: -
""fiully for you, brother; It was beau
tiful." , ;
"Congratulated by Taft • .
;A few minutes later President Taft
took him warmly by the hand, saying:
"I -congratulate you -heartily, sir. \u25a0 It
was a great exhibition. You came
3own as easily and gracefully as 'you
went up. You beat the world's ; rec
ord."
"Yes. sir," 'replied Orville. evidently
embarrassed. "I - beat . my brother's
record.", ,
"How , did your .• passenger conduct
himself? Dia he talk to the'motorman?"
asked the president. .
"He behaved very well," replied the
aviator.
""Well, I congratulate both of. you
and- I thank you for the privilege of
witnessing such * a flight." added the
president. :
Until ;6; 6 o'clock the prospect of a
night appeared* .very slight.' A. high
"wind had prevailed" all the afternoon,
and the apparently adverse conditions
undoubtedly kept away many hundreds
of people. .-.\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0-. . • .
