JAPAN HAS NO SECRET TO KEEP

FROM AMERICANS

Minister of the Navy Says Reports of Sinister Designs of Japanese on American Fleet Are Unfounded. REPORTS OF DISTRIBUTION OF JAPS' FLEET ISSUED. Minister Greatly Surprised at Reports That the Japanese Fleet Was Sailing Toward American Shores. Tokio, Jan. 21. Reports attributing fclnifctcr designs to tlx.' Japanese I'aval administration in connection with tin.: Pacific: squadron are absolutely unfounded. Vice-Admiral Sailo, mini.v ter of the navy, in an interview said: "Wo have no .secrets from America conrernins the distribution of our fleet. Dully reports are handed the naval attaches showinK the whereftbouts of every vessel, which can easily be ascertained. In view of the sensational reports crnnnatiiig from valious quarters, we desire emphatically to say that, no vessel of the Japanese j fleet is any nearer the I'acilic coast uf America than YokosuUa. Every one of the battleships is now on the home J station either at Kokosuka, Kure or I Kasetio, and the entire flotillas of torpedo boats and submarines are at the Mine stations. The only Japanese war vessels now outside of home waters are one cruiser at each of the following Chinese ports: Hankow. Fuchcvv, Amoy and Kingkow: two at Shanghai and three small Eh ips at Korea. Without Foundation. "A training ship's squadron, consisting of three old cruisers, will sail on January 'Jo. One of these vessels is going in the direction of Colombo, in Ceylon, via Manila, where she will call on a friendly visit. Any statement made differing from this is absolutely without foundation." Vice-Admirnl Saito was evidently surprised that any idea prevailed abroad that Japanese war vessels were cruising In the direction of America. The Constitutionalists, at a general meeting" today, passed resolutions supporting the government measures to be submitted to the Diet. Marquis iSalouji. the premier, in a .speech, emphasized the amicable relations between Japan and the powers. He said that the emigration problem was practically settled with Canada, ami that lie confidently expected a satisfactory dntlerstanding with the United States.

"Of course," said the pretty schoolteacher who had just returneel from her loug vacation trip to Europe "of course foreign labels slap-peel all over .1 suit ease may give it an interesting look, nnd they certainly indicate that one lias been abroad, but I don't feel very proud of the record pasted on my bag. The trouble with it is that I had to economize frightfully while I was in Europe iu order to have the trip at all. and I hod to stop at the very cheapest hotels I could find. It seemed '. as if those Europeans were determined to conduct a large advertising campaign through the medium of my suit case, for I couldn't escape their labels. "I tried In every possible way to prevent thi porters from getting hold of my luggage long enough to take it out from under my eyes, but they would grab It tip. run away with it to some secret place and come back proudly displaying another huge label stuck to it. In every ease I noticed, with additional pain, that the cheaper the hotel was the larger the label it used. It happeus that I have a few really swell acquaintances In New York, who know Europe like a book, and they'll take it all iu at a glance. Of course I'm not ashamed of having economized, yet I don't exactly care to flaunt my poverty. I on! foreign hotels would ail eIn the waiter." New York 1 wish the : choice War and Waur.

Leslie and 'Williams in Amusements THEATRICALCALENDAR, NEW PHILLIPS. Week of Jan. 20 Vaudeville. GENNETT. Week of Jan. 20 Taylor Stock Co. Jan. 27 "Tempest and Sunshine." Jan. 31 "Under Southern Skies." Repertoire at the Gennett. A very large audience saw the opening bill by ihe Taylor Stock company at the Gennett Monday night and all seemed well pleased with the combined effort at. repertoire; and specialties. "A Ragged Princess" was given and was of such nature as to show the company well balanced and some of its members especially clever. Mina Griffen. Ira II. Moore and Leonard A. Emmert carried off the honors. Much applause was accorded during the progress of the performance. In the list of specialties are Edna Rupert in songs: Ira 11. Moore in comedy songs and stories of the day and moving pic:-j tu res by Fred Stelzer. The bill for this! afternoon was "A Royal Waif." and to-' night it will be "Queen of Queer! Street." Indies are to be admitted free again tonight under the same conditions' that prevailed last, night. The! play that is to be given tonight is cred-j ited with being one' of the strongest! the company has to offer and a capac-j ity audience is expected. Plavs f 4v ' the remainder of the week will be announced tomorrow. They will include "Faust," and the company is said to put on a far better production of this master piece of the German author than might be expected from one that deals almost entirely in comedy. The Taylor company came to Richmond practically unknown, but promises to make good in no small degree and to be as welcome a visitor as is the North Stock company and some others that have preceded it. Miss Griffen will prove a great favorite with patrons of t he Gennett. Vaudeville at the Phillips. The Kingsburys, who put on a comedy musical act. at tin- New Phillips this week in vaudeville, are great laugh producers. In connection with their musical feature, which, by the way. is larcely incidental, they hand out a line of talk and acting that gets them into the good graces of the audi- ' nceh in short order. The blackface member of the team is m mean comedian and he is well supported by bis team mate. The selection of the Kinesburys as headiiuers was not a mistake as they do the thing that is most desired, especially in the closing act. of vaudeville bill make fun. George and Helen 'uuns have a new comedy sketch. "Rilly's Visit." and in connection with it introduce singing and dancing. Leslie and Williams, two men, one of whom appears in blackface, have a lot of nonsense that goes well. Kotaro, a Japanese wire artist, performs the stunts usual to this stjle of entertainer. Miss Pearl Hale is singing the illustrated song this week and has n voice well adapted ! to it as she can be heard distinc tly in lull parts ot the home. The song is "Smile on Me." The cr.nieragraph shovs two motion pictures, one ciiiitlct!

WALSH CLAIMS JURY VERDICT OF LAST WEEK UNJUST

Says Findings Will Not Stand The Test of Review by the Jurists of the Nation's Highest Courts. SORROW OVER IDEA HE "PLOTTED" TO WRECK. Said Bank Was Pride of His Life and He Would as Soon Have Planned to End Life of One of His Own Children. Chicago, Jan. -1 since the downfal years ago, John It. For the fir at lime 1 rii' hi.-i banks two V:ilh has cuiim-ih-troubles which culed to discuss the miiiated last Saturday, when a federal court jury adjudged him guilty of violations of the national banking laws. Incidentally he spoke of the jury's finding as "the so-called verdict." Heis confident the jury's "alleged findings of fact" will not stand the test of review by the jurists of the nation's highest courts, and that, he will yet be exonerated from all charges made against him. There was not a face of bitterness iu his voice or manner as he spoke c f j the financiers, railroad men and politi-1 cians who are regarded by his friends! as the enemies wno nave? neen waging an implacable war against him. On the contrary, his look was almost benign as the discussion proceeded. He had little except good things to say of anybody, and even where he condemned as when discussing the jury's verdict he evinced a desire to be charitable with the jurors, excusing them on the ground that farmer jurors could not be expected to have an adequate understanding of the difficult financial problems facing a banker whom the laws compel to earn ;! per cent for the depositors of the funds intrusted to his keeping. Bank the Pride of His Life. There was pathos ac; we'll as sorrow and suffering in his voice as he spoke of the "so-called" verdict's intimation that he had plotted to wreck or destroy the Chicago National bank in order to obtain the funds to build up the i , j in which he; bad become in terested. With feeling that shook bis sturdy physique he avowed that the "bank was the pride of his life and the apple of his eye" and that he would as soon set about plotting the destruction of one of his own children as to plan the wrecking of the Chicago National. "It was my child, my pet, my Lobby", he: declared, his eyes filling with moisture. "But they misjudged human nature when they decided that, the splendid institution I created was as nothing to me as compared with railroads, from which I had no assurance that. 1 could reap any benefit in my lifetime." A Higher Health Level. "I have reached a higher health level since I began using Dr. King's New Life Pills," writes Jacob Springer, of West Franklin, Maine. "They keep my stomach, liver and bowels working just, right." If these pills disappoint you on trial, money will be refunded at A. G. Luken & Co. drug store. i5c. What She Was AfU..

The laugh often comes in the very face of danger. Privations and perils .anuot check tbe response te the coin leal. An instance of lindiug fun in the midst of disaster is told by Captain T. '. Morton in the "Soiit..ern Historical Papers." The Confederate picket line was stationed on a sandy bottom near a creek. John Ford, one of the men on duty, ( was very plucky, lie was seated near au uprooted tree ami could be plainly seen by all bis company. Suddenly a large mortar shell fell, unexplexled, in the sand about four feet from him, the fuse smoking and sputtering. John took in the situation at a glance. He argued to himself that the shell would burst before he could get up and run away, so that the safest thing he could do would be to get into the ground as fast as possible. With the utmost rapidity be began to work dowu into the sand with hands, feet and head. The meu watched the proceedings, shouting: "Scratch, John, scratch! She's going off."' It was an exciting spectacle. Never was a man more in earnest. The sand all about was in commotion, and in the few seconds the fizzing fuse gave him John burrowed like a great gopher till nothing but the hump of bis back was visible as the loose sand settled above him. The explosion came with a tremendous jar, which shook the ground and sent hundreds of pieces of iron singing through the air. Every one held his breath,, expecting to see poor John blown into atoms. When the smoke and dust blew away, it was seen that Ford's head was still on his shoulders. He looked cautiously up and, seeing all was right, sang out a hearty "WhoDch!" as cheerily as if he had treed a .-non instead of having been face to face with death. A cbeer and a laugh ran all along tbe line. INGENIOUS CIPHER. The Lstter That Brought Fresdom to Sir John Trevanion. During the great rebellion Sir John Trevanion, a distinguished cavalier, was made prisoner and ':eked up in Colchester castle. Sir Charles Lucas and Sir George Lisle had just been made examples of as a warning to "malignants," and Trevanion had every reason to expect a similar end. As he awaited his doom he was startled by tbe entrance of tbe jailer,' who handed him a letter. "May't do thee good," growled the fellow. "It has been well looked to before it wus permitted to come to you." Sir John took the letter, and the jailer left him his lamp by which to read it. Worthie Sir John. -Hope, that is ye best comfort of ye affiictyd, cannot much, I fear ine, help you now.
