i I I Is If JAPANESE MISSION HAS WIDE POWERS former Minister Says It Ex. pects to Discuss War Prob lems and All Questions Between Nations. Tokio, Friday, July 6. (Delayed.) An euthusiastic farewell dinner was given tonight by the American-Japan society in honor of Viscount Kiku jiro Ishii, head of the mission soon to visit the United States. Despite the indefatigable efforts ot the Germans to bring about discord between Japan and the United States, said Viscount Ishii, the two countries are now practically allied making common front against Germany. "My mission I consider is a mili tary one in one respect," continued the viscount, "and oneof peace in an other military, as against the cen. tral European system of militarism and domination, but one of peace to be consolidated and reaffirmed as between Japan and the United States.". After tracing the benefits of the exchanges of visits between Ameri cans and Japanese, Viscount Ishii concluded: ' "It is gratifying to think of one great benefit with which the war has already endowed Japan and the United States. I mean the disappear ance of Germany in this quarter ot the world. . Now that Germany, th universal disturber of the peace, has been completely and once and for all out of its Asiatic bases there re mains no longer any one who will venture to cherish the design of estranging Japan and America. Con. sequently, the Pacific henceforth will have the noble destiny to join the two great nations and never to separate -them." Viscount Kentaro Kaneko, a mem ber of the House of Peers and a privy councilor, who presided at the dinner, emphasized the nobility and uprightness of the attitude of the United States which he said was fighting for individual liberty, na tional freedom, peace and civilization of mankind. "A clear understanding with the United States is most important fo the present and the future, ' he added. "This must be the aim of Viscount Ishii's mission." Former Minister Iliokj expressed the opinion that in addition to the questions of the day, all questions of any importance existing between the United States and Japan would not escape either settlement or discussion while Viscount Ishii was in America. The mission was a difficult one be cause of the vastness of the field and the complexity of the problems to be handled, he concluded, but the two groups would not be throwing dust into each other's eyes. Ther would be plain dealing, just and fair, actuated by mutual respect and sym pathy. PRESIDENT CALLS GUARDSMEN TO SERVICEAUGUST 5 (CMitlnwrf From T$ On.)

WVff,, w W 's. .'Ath w a- . f ' i a t ,i f Council Defers Action in Sutton And Maloney Case (Continued From Pas One.) before the Chadron tase developed. There is only one issue in this case, and that is, was Maloney connected with a conspiracy? Admitting the al leged telephonic conversation, that docs not constitute a conspiracy. If Elsie Phelps told the truth about that conversation, then seven who disputed her must have perjured themselves. Every person who came in conflict with Mrs. Phelps must have been a perjurer or else she was one. Wanted to Get Maloney. "Mrs. Phelps knew of the Omaha Detective association before she went to their office to be engaged on the Chadron case. She had known Sutton and she knew the association had obtained evidence against the Lake side place. They wanted to get Ma loney and therein you have the mo tive. Influence was brought to bear at Chadron to have the county judge bind Maloney over, that they might bring before you here just what they have brought. . "Detective Sutton should be tried on the charges which have been filed against him and he should be dis charged from the department The evidence is strong that he connived at law violations while working as a secret investigator, it button is tit to work as s detective, why did he not investigate the alleged telephonic con versation here instead of going sou miles sway in the sandhills? "Elsie Phelps has beenwith Sutton constantly for weeks, to Chadron and back and at his home. Why was that necessary?" Chadron Defendants Guilty. Nr. Baker, in his review of the case. contended that the various outside matters introduced by the prosecu tion against Maloney were sufficient ly refuted to convince the city coun cil of their falsity. He expressed confidence that the city commission ers would find Maloney not guilty of the charges. button does not appear here as a prosecutor of Maloney. Sutton was acting under directions ttf Superinten dent Kugel in the investigation of the Chadron case," said Attorney Thomas. "As the name of Maloney was dis closed in that cae, it was necessary that Sutton should investigate the connection between the Omaha De tective association and the police de partment. It will be necessary to await disposition of the Chadron case to determine the facts. I be lieve the Chadron defendants will be convicted. Inasmuch as the charges filed against Sutton are diametrically opposed to those against Maloney, ft was necessary for Sutton to defend himself by showing that charges against Maloney were true. I think it will be generally conceded that the Omaha Detective association was engaged in the business of blackmail ing at Chadron. . To Smirch s Woman. "I want to present to you the truthfulness of Elsie Phelps and the character of the witnesses who ap peared on the stand in an effort to destroy her reputation. Mrs. Mel son branded her own testimony as false when she refused to identify Mrs. Phelps. Mrs. Melson came here for the purpose of destroying the character of another woman. "It is clear that Chief Dunn knows much against Maloney that he is not willing to tell. It is evident there is discord in the police department and discord between Chief Dunn and Ma loney. You should remove that dis cord by removing Maloney. Allow Dunn rather than Maloney to be chief of the police department. "The testimony ot Mrs. rneips con nected Maloney with the Omaha De tective association. Sutton was justi fied in making the charges against Maloney." . Rine Criticises Witnesses. City Attorney said: "It is evident that there was some thing wrong at Chadron. If Maloney was connected with the Omaha De tective association it was shown by the telephonic conversation. If the testimony of Eltu. Phelps is false, then there is nothing to this case. We 6hould consider the character of the witnesses who have been malign ing Mrs. Phelps tnd Officer Sutton. Consider Mrs. Mclson, Mrs. Jones, Fred Adkins, and remember that Fern Marr contradicted in this hearing her testimony at Chadron. If Mrs. Phelps' testimony was false, why did they have to bring in such witnesses as those? I placed credence in the testimony of Mr. Menke and Mr. Men. ens of Blair.

THE BEE: MAKING QUARTERS FOR DRAFTED ARMY Men From Nebraska Will Live in Structures That Look Much Like Large Stock ' Barns. Des Moines, la., July 9.(Special) From mansions and shacks down by the railroad tracks, from farm homes antf rooms-to-rent, from $100 a month apartments and $15 a month tenements, 45,000 young' men will come to Des Moines about September 1 to become units in the Thirteenth division of the new National army. Once at the cantonment, each will have a home exactly like that of all the rest There will be no special exhibition of taste for the drafted young man to whom wrong colored curtains in his bedroom now are major ills, nor will the less financially fortunate young man be barred from writing his letters home under an electric light just because he is used to kerosene. Buildings Comfortable. What will the new homes of men drafted from Omaha be like? What comforts will they provide on the ten-below-zero nights that will come to Des Moines next winter? Are they to be barnlike or, in a measure, homelike? These questions are in the minds of s half million mothers, fath ers and sisters of potential soldiers in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North and South Dakota as the time for the first drafting approaches. Spurred by patriotism to yield their sons' lives, if necessary, for democracy, these mothers nevertheless would never forgive for a winter of needless dis comfort. , Two, big buildings, now standing nearly completed on the long parade slope of the cantonment, provide par tial answers to these anxious ques tions, and the government building bosses willingly furnish the re mainder of the information. These barracks , are two-story buildings, set up about three feet off the ground on thick cedar stakes. Each covers a pace of ground 140 by forty-three yeet. The roof slopes to both sides from the center, and Is waterproofed With heavy roofing. , Look Like Stock Barns. They look, from the outside, for all the world like big new stock barns, except for the double row of wide windows encircling them. The win dows will be fitted with standard sashes, and there are wide visors, covered with roofing, above each. There is a minimum of entrances, In order to make the barracks as water, proof as possible. In cold-resisting qualities the structures seem to compare favorably to the ordinary frame house. Double floors are to be laid downstairs. Un der the wide, ship-lap siding is the heaviest of tarred building paper, and the barracks are to be completely fin. ished inside with plaster board. Mess Hall and Club Rooms. Downstairs the barracks are divided into four rooms. The kitchen is in a small one-story section at the back. Next to it is a large mess hall, which will be fitted with long tables and backless benches. The largest room downstairs is the barracks assembly room, which will serve the purpose of library, parlor and den all in one. Writing tables, chairs, and benches, all made on the ground by cantonment carpenters, will furnish this room. At the ex treme front of the building will be s small supply room. Upstairs it is all one big room, which is the company dormitory. The men will sleep on regulation spring cots, rather than the canvas cots used in field service. Must Build Five Each Day. The job ahead of Major M. A. But ler, constructing quartermaster, looms larger every day. When full speed work begins, probably Wednes day, it will t necessary completely to finish five barracks a day, seven days a week, in order to have the can tonment ready on September 1. Since July 4 the force employed has only partly completed two of 'them. The mtal camp layout arranges it in the shape of a gigantic letter L, the upright leg about two miles long, and the horizontal leg about a mile. There will be 240 barracks, each housing about 150 meen. Will Hold Defense Rally. More than 1,000 Iowans are ex pected to attend the big rally of pa triotic workers to be held at the state house July 20. Members of the county defense council will be pres ent. Governor Harding and Federal Judge Martin J. Wade will be two of the speakers on the program. The coal situation will be discussed. It is expected that Colonel French of Dav enport will make s report on his in vestigations ot coal prices, the women of Iowa will be urged to form a second council of defense. Their activities will consist principally of kitcnen economy. Call Guards Soon- Adjutant General Guy E. Logan has received a telegram from the cen OMAHA, TUESDAY, JULY tral department at Chicago, 111., which states that early mobilization orders may be anticipated. The troops will be vaccinated against smallpox and inocculated against typhoid and para typhoid while in company rendezvous. The medical officers of the Iowa Na iional Guard will officiate. The mes sage was relayed by Logan to com pany commanders with instructions for preliminary preparations. v Nine Y Buildings at Camp. Nine buildings for the army Young Men's Christian association will be built at Camp Dodge. In addition to the building required for every 5,000 men, a central office wuth an audi torium large enough for 3,000 men will also be built More than $150, 000 has been raised in the state cam paign for funds and it is expected that the total will reach $200,000 before the campaign closes. New Bank at Doon. Articles of incorporation were filed with the secretary of state Saturday by the Farmers Savings bank of Doon. capitalized at $20,000. E. S.

The Iowa section of the National Elecric Light association, which has been holding a convention at Dav enport, has wired to the State Defense council asking relief from coal strin gency and high prices. CHANGES TO BE DRAFTED ONE TO EIGHT IN OMAHA (Contlnoed From Pat One.) . inent will draft on the first drawing," said Election Commissioner Moor head. ; . "In Washington they may figure on drawing just 1,200 numbers In Douglas county and then as fast as exemptions are made draw other numbers. "On the other hand, they may draw 1,000,000 numbers from the whole country, or about 2,500 from Douglas county, and make the exemptions from this number and not draw other numbers until another draft is made later on. "It is understood the government will be ready to draw numbers' as soon as duplicate lists of registration Cards are on the hands of the gov ernors of various states. "This may be in a day or so, or the drawing may be delayed if some of the remote parts of the country are slow in reporting readiness," said the election commissioner. Registrations Still Come. Late registrations still are coming in. These will 'be received up till to night, but only registrations made after that time will be held for subse quent lists. The delayed registrations are from Omahans in distinct parts of the country, and a few others where offi cials have been convinced the regis tration requirements were misunder stood. , An alien lao registered yesterday. He explained he did not believe he was required to register because aliens are not subject to draft. His regis tration was taken, however, and for warded immediately to Washington and Lincoln. Election Commissioner Moorhead has received several reports of atleged slackers in the last few days. He turns all such reports over to govern ment officials for investigation. When the six exemption boards, in Douglas county begin work, which will probably not be until several days after draft day, "common sense," as hinted in advices from Washington, will be used. While local boards have no power to make exemptions because of agri cultural or industrial reasons, the election commissioner does not be lieve anything will be done to cripple such Omaha industries as the pack ing plants, grain elevators, railroads and smelters. Grain Stocks Stored in Omaha Lowest in History The weekly report of the inspec tion department of the Omaha Grain exchange indicates that grain stocks in storage in Omaha terminal eleva tors are the lowest ever known, be ing but 370,000 bushels, as against 2,064,000 on the corresponding date one year ago.

COCCHI COLLAPSES 1DERGR0SS-FIRE Slayer of Ruth Cruger Breaks Down When Confronted With Details of His Crime. Bologna, July 9. Having received first reports from New York describ ing the discovery of Ruth Cruger's body. Judge Zucconi lengthily inter rogated Alfredo Cocchi, the slayer, in his cell yesterday. The cross-examination became dra matic when the judge confronted him with statements received describing how Cocchi had bound the Cruger girl's arms and legs, bringing back in all its gruesome details what occurred in the motorcycle shop in New York. Cocchi, overwhelmed by proofs, lost the complacency he had maintained and burst into tears, but insisted he did not actually strike the Cruger girl, who, he said, hurt herself falling in an attempt to escape. New York, July 9. When investi gation of the Ruth Cruger case was resumed today Henry Cruger, father of the murdered girl, was among the witnesses waiting to testify before the grand jury. It was said that evidence had been obtained that several policemen and a number "of private citizens had as sisted Alfredo Cocchi, the confessed murderer, to escape the country. Indictments are expected against members of the police department for the lax methods employed in attempt ing to solve the mystery.
