Today Remember Japan. Blaiming the Creator. Wages 22 Cents Week. $10,000,000 Targets. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE . At the time of the fire in San Francisco, Japan contributed to re lief funds $254,960 more than the total amount contributed by all other foreign nations. San Francisco requested no as istance. It rebuilt itself with miraculous speed and energy. None the less the generous act of Japan, now so dreadfully afflict ed, should not be forgotten. This nation should advance to Japan what it wants more than mere in dividual charity, substantial loans, on most reasonable terms. Complete disappearance of one Japanese island with 10,000 popu lation ha^been officially confirmed, but news comes of a new island, 30 miles long, 15 miles wide, rais ed above the sea near Yokohama. Earthquakes and scientists have taught human beings one thing at least, not to blame the ruler of heaven and earth when things go wrong. In the 18th century New Englanders were shaken out of bed at 4 o’clock in the morning. Governor Phipps began his pro clamation ordering a day of fast ing and pennance as follows: “It having pleased Almighty God in a most awful and surpris ing manner to manifest His right eous anger against the provoking sins of men by terrible and de structive earthquakes and inunda tions.’’ We are not quite so foolish or irreverent now. Some Germans have become in sane trying to figure out costs, etc., in marks. No wonder. Yes terday you could buy 1,000,000 marks for 2 1-2 cents, and even cheaper. German coal miners have agreed to work for 9,000,000 marks a week—22 cents in our money. How does that impress American workers? War does not pay, win or lose—especially lose. Flying machines dropping bombs that cost a few dollars have again demonstrated for the benefit of the American people that battle ships are obsolete. The old bat tleship Virginia used as a target was sunk in 30 minutes by a flyer 10,000 feet up. How many $40, 000,000 battleships will this coun try build to supply amusing tar gets some day for foreign fliers? Forty million dollars spent wise ly on flying ships, with a few more millions on submarines, would make fighting fleets unnecessary and attack by any nation foolish. Foreign countries know how to do things that are too much for this glorious republic where the people rule—or think they do. In Japan with people starving, food ,-carce, prices started to rise. The government gave orders to sell . food at cost, and food was sold i at cost. If it hadn’t been the sell ers would have gone below to join the victims of the earthquake in death In Egypt, the Italian-Greek trouble interfered with trade and threatened the cotton grower. Im mediately the Egyptian govern ment entered the market as a heavy buyer of cotton to protect growers and dealers. Egypt isn’t as rich as the United States, hy a good many hundred billions, but common sense sometimes is better than money. Kemal Pasha comes back to the front page hy preventing restora tion of the harem in Turkey. It was once as difficult to imagine a Turk without many wives as of a Chinese without pigtail. The pig tail is gone, and the harem wives arc going. Wise Kemal says that one Turkish wife, of the new wo man type, is as much as any one Turk can er ought to own. Chaplain Reed of the Ohio penitentiary, has a plan to give convicts education via correspond ence schools. In their idle hours the convicts will he helped to re place ignorance with knowledge. That is good work for the con vict, even better and more im portant for the outside .world. Crime is based qn ignorance. Kill ignorance and you will kill crime. At least such crime as prison walls confine. One nation's earthquake may be. temporarily, another's prosperity. Yesterday morning steel stocks became excited. Some companies kept up the excitement. Japan will need 400 miles of big iron pipe, 100,000 kegs of nails, great quantities of copper to re build telephone and telegraph lines anil supplies of all kinds. But this country will pay in a higher price for silk and many other ways. What hurts one na tion, in the long run hurts all na tions. (Copyrlfch*. 1S 28. > McCrory Return* J. F.

Ernest Fee and his morals squad will continue to draw pay as police officers at least until next Tuesday, when the city council is to hear the charges filed against them by Charles Nejepinsky, 1417 South Sixteenth street. City Attorney John Moriarty con sented to permit the restraining order preventing their suspension to stand until that time, when the case came up for hearing before District Judge Fitzgerald Friday morning. ‘I want 'it understood that the re straining order will not interfere with any punishment the council may want to inflict on the men following their hearing Tuesday, however," said Mor iarty. Police Commissioner Butler ap peared for the hearing, represented by Elmer Thomas. This created much comment. Thomas and Moriarty agreed that the only issue at stake was the salaries of the officers who were suspended by ths cuuncli when they failed to appear for the hearing in the council chamber,last Tuesday. Three Officers Appeared. 'Three of the officers did come to the hearing," explained Butler. "But I told them not to wait, because Mayor Dahlman had agreed to post pone It a week to give Fee a chance to be present. Fee was out of town at the time. ‘The mayor left the council cham ber a few minutes later, however, and ■when Commissioner Koutsky dis covered my police officers were not present he Jumped up and demanded that they he suspended.” On the strength of Butler's state ment, Morlarity got In touch with Koutsky, who agreed to let tha sus pension proceeding "ride” until next Tuesday, Immediately after the motion to suspend was passed by the council the officers affected filed a petition in district court asking that the chief of police he restrained from suspending them. The order was is sued and this morning, pending the hearing to determine whether the re straining order should be made a temporary Injunction, the city filed an Intervening petition, claiming the city council has the right under the city charter to suspend police offi cers. Council Lost Right, Claim. Attorney Thomas contends the coun cil has a right to remove officers, but that It lost its right to suspend them or cut off their salaries while they remain on the force when the senior ity ordinance was passed in 1920. The controversy arose when Ne Jepinsky filed charges against the of ficers, alleging they entered his home without a search warrant. Butler produced a warrant which he says described Nejeplnsky's property and which lie contends was used by the offl.He threatened this morning *'• Lring perjury charges against Ne Jepinsky for signing the complaint. officers of the morals squad are *■ F.

Hills Leet \ isits Omaha: I- Now Penitent Young Man Billy Leet, who at ono time occu pied much space in newspapers be cause of his prodigality, his marital adventures, his ability to drive auto mobiles faster than the law allowed and his numerous and costly pranks, was In Omaha Tuesday. But he Is a different Billy. He ad mits it himself, gravely asserting that the old days of merriment are over so far as he is concerned. The wealthy Omaha youth, who has married three times, afso declared he is no longer susecptable to feminine charms. He left Tuesday night for Chicago.

Tulsa Lashings Laid to Klan K.u Mux Nainctl in Sworn Testimony Hefore Mili tary Court. By Associated Tret*. Oklahoma City, Sept. 7.—Enfolding the "story of Tulsa" as gleaned from sworn testimony taken before a mili tary court, Aldrich Blake, executive counselor, presented to the press last night, an account or some of the bru tal floggings that led Governor J. C. Walton to invoke martial law In Tulsa county. Detailing a series of whippings, only a few of those that have spread terror for more than a year In many Tulsa homes, Mr. Blake said: "Through the 1,200 pages of testimony runs the same brutal refrain. It's al ways the klan or some members of the klan. "In every case thus far examined, except two which have not proceeded very far, the evidence has led straight to the doorstep of the Invisible empire, known as the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Not an alien has been accused; not a breath of eusppicion against a single Tulso citizen except members of the organization.” "'No arrests had even been made until the military court convened," he said. "Except in one or two In stances were the police called and Im mediately returned to the station. No Investigation has even been made of any one of these and doezns of other cases now under investigation. This Is according to the, sworn tsetlmony." More Exposures to Come. Declaring that the expose was only the first chapter of the “story.” the executive counselor promised revela tion in the near future of “other phases of the conflict between visible and invisible government. "Ths whole story of Tulsa will never be told,” he said. "Men flee from savagery and torture. Scores of Tulsa victims fled. The average man is pretty apt to change his ad dress after his skin has been whipped until it is raw and then he is threat ened with death If he tells. That is exactly what happened in Tulsa, not once, but many times. Fay 60 times, cr 100 times, or perhaps 200 times, in j a little more than a year.” "The wet rope is out of style,” said Mr. Blake.
