WILSON READS WITH INTER EST DISPATCH FROM TOKIO. RETALIATION IS DEMANDED The Bill by California Legislature Becomes Increasingly Serious. Washington.—President Wilson is keeping in touch with the situation in Japan and California. He read with interest the dispatches from Tokio expressing the popular feeling against the bill, and studies the text of the pending measures as well as a synopsis of similar laws in New' York and Texas. The president told his callers that the federal government, of necesssity, must refrain from inter ference with California, while in the process of legislating and could not make its attitude known to inquirinf nations until the bills were passed. He added, however, that if any im pression had been circulated in Japan that the administration here had be come indifferent to the developments in California, such a view was unjus tified and that judgment as to the measures should be withheld until they are finally framed and passed. In the meantime the president de clared that every effort was being made to keep in communication in formally with the California legisla ture. It is unlikely that the presi dent will communicate his views di rectly or take any step that will in terfere with the legislative process, but he hopes through members of congress here to do his utmost to prevent any obvious violation of treaty obligations. Should treaty rights be violated, he is hopeful that Japan will withhold judgment until the American courts have dealt with the question. Outbursts unwarranted. Government officials appear to look upon the popular outburst in Tokio as unwarranted at this time. The federal government fully intends to give Japanese protection and privi lege accorded foreigners under the favored nation principle of its treat ies. Diplomatic circles here are alive to the situation and some of the more prominent embassies and lega tions have been ordered to keep their embassies advised of every ac tion. Japan Talking cf War. Tokio.—The situation brought about by the California bill has be come increasingly serious. A mass meeting composed for the most part of irresponsible people, demanded the most extreme measures of retal iation by Japan. During the gather ing the singing of war songs aroused the feelings of many of the lower classes who were present. Anonymous writers in the newspa pers give an outline of plans for the seizure of the Philippines and Ha waii, and at the same time denounce the Japanese government’s submiss ive attitude. It is said that the changed conditions in Japan make it impossible for the government to re strain the newspapers and the lower classes. On the other hand, government cir cles are showing a friendly spirit. Hamilton Wright Mabie of New York, Dr. Peabody and John L. Mott, secre tary of the international committee of the Young Men's Christian asso ciation, were the guests of a lunch eon given by Baron Noboaki Makono, the foreign minister, at which some of the most prominent Japanese and Americans were present.

WOULD SUE FORMED SUPERINTENDENT "MANUEL SHOULD PAY FOR LIVE STOCK”—COMMITTEE. RECKLESS WASTE IS CHARGED Business Methods In Vogue at Kear ney Industrial School Said to Be Poor. Lincoln.—Characterizing the busi ness methods at the Kearney Indus trial school under the Manuel admin istration of the past four years as worse than those in vogue at the most slovenly-kept and antique "corner grocery,” and averring that it would have been cheaper foT the state to have quartered its bad boys at the most expensive Lincoln hotel, mem bers of the special senate investigat ing committee brought in a report in which severe criticism is passed upon C. B. Manuel. The report was adopted following perfunctory discussion. In part the castigation offered much information on the conduct of the boys’ school dur ing the years 1909, 1910, 1911 and 1912. The members. Senators Placek, Wink and Spirk, recommended that further facts be gained by the state board of public lands and buildings, and that such action be taken as is deemed proper by those state officials. It is recommended that the attorney general start immediate action for the recovery of $1,300, which the com, mittee believes should be paid back to the state by Mr. Manuel. The report in part, says: "No method was used to keep sepa rate the money expended for different items, and no way to determine daily the amount of supplies on hand, for the reason that the steward delivers such articles to the cook and heads of different departments without making a requisition therefor. Reckless waste ot runus. “The items of expenditure disclose a reckless waste of public funds and gross incompetency in every respect. “The institution cash fund fails in nearly every instance to disclose to whom, or at what price, stock or grain was sold. No receipts are given for money received, which should be done. “The amount paid for coal during the first six months of 1912 shows an. expenditure of $0,102.10. “The institution has at all times from sixty-five to eighty-five head of cattle, of which thirty head are milch cows, and yet the butter and egg ac count for the first nine months of 1912 shows an expenditure of $951. “Mr. Manuel appears to have en joyed traveling at state expense, and the account for traveling expenses during his four years of tenure amounts to $2,244.92. and in addition to the above item the state paid for the return of runaway boys during the same period the sum of $2,318.87. “The law provides that each head of an institution shall make a requi sition for supplies each month, but Mr. Manuel did not trust the state board and found it necessary to ex pend $1,079.18 for trips to Lincoln for buying purposes. Sold Calves at Half Value. “Mr. Manuel was a believer in re ducing the high cost of living and hence sold everything cheap. On Sep tember 27, 1910, he sold thirty-two calves, 6 to 7 months old, and eight cows, for $415, or $10.90 a head, being about 2 per cent per pound or one-half of their value. This sale was made to a son of one of the employes. “The testimony before the commit tee shows that in addition to the thir ty-two calves and eight cows, there were six heifers, and the bill of lad ing of the Union Pacific railroad at Kearney shows that forty-six head were shipped out. Mr. Manuel has failed to account to the state for the six heifers. On October 1, 1912, he sold twenty-five calves, twenty of which were 6 to 7 months old, for the sum of $250, being about one-half of their real value. On December 30, 1910, Mr. Griffen, an employe, bought and crated a three-months'-old calf, which has never been accounted for. In September, 1910, a cow was sold to Mr. Fairchild, an employe, for $30, which sum has not been accounted for. There are twenty-three horses at the institution, many more than necessary, and Mr. Manuel sold two work horses for $170 and purchased a riding horse for $225, used exclusively by his daughter. “The state had a typewriter on hand, but Mr. Manuel conceived the idea of renting his own machine to the stenographer and drawing vouchers from the state for $45 each month and compelling the stenographer to pay him $5 a month, thereby getting $240 for the use of his machine during his te rm." Crushed by Heavy Weight. Hastings.—A. R. Harkins, aged 50, was instantly killed when a tank con taining about 000 pounds dropped on him. Harkins, who was employed at a Hastings dairy, was engaged in washing bottles directly beneath the large water tank when the support holding the tank broke, letting the entire load fall on him. L. J. Mcore, proprietor, hearing the noise, rushed in from another room only to find the man dead. Coroner .1. V. Begh tol was called and decided that an inquest was unnecessary. Bills Passed. H.

KUKUHUHUS LITTLE KNOWN Mysterious Race Who Live In New Guinea, Refuse to Meet Europe ans In Their Camps. London.—Dr. Bruno Beheim gives the following description of the mys terious and little known race of the Kukuhuhus of New Guinea: The Ku kuhuhus live in a part of English ter ritory through which runs the River Qukheamu and which is situated near the German boundary. This territory is looked upon by the said race as their inalienable birthright, and ev ery usurper is regarded with hostile eyes. No European has been able to meet the Kukuhuhus in their dwelling places. Prospectors and English of ficials have made repeated attempts to approach them, but their camps were invariably found empty, often with the camp fires still burning. Many a time have Europeans left presents highly prized by other na tives, such as corals, red cloth, look ing glasses, axes, etc.. In the deserted camps, in the hope of establishing friendly relations with these people. But on returning to the same places i few day or a few w'eeks later, al though the camp showed recent traces Df occupation, such as live cinders icd fresh footprints, the goods intend i .-. 1 i Wild Scenery In New Guinea. ed for presents remained untouched where they had beer, placed. Other races of New fluinea fear tha Kukuhuhus as poison. They have learned to their cost what it means to cross the boundary. Some disap pear for all time, while others are found dead, thrust through with spear wounds. The Kukuhuhus, however, do a bartering trade with other na tives in the following way: The lat ter bring salt, earthenware, dried fish, etc., and deposit them in a cer tain indicated place. They then re tire for a few hours, being notified to do so by a curious cry from the dis tance. The timid mountain dwellers then descend to view the goods offered for sale. If they want them they put down other goods, such as skins, feathers and other jungle produce next to those articles wanted by them. Then they retire in turn, and when the way seems clear the coast dwell ers approach again. If the latter are satisfied with what Is offered in ex change they take the goods put down by the mountain people and go away: If not satisfied they retire again as before with empty hands. These business transactions between wild races show a sense of honor that re sembles careful thought. Doctor Beheim regards the Kuku tiuhus as the most remarkable of the ethnological wonders of New Guinea, and he was not successful in discov ering the secret of their origin. LIFE FOR THEFT OF BACON An Ohio Convict Went Insane Before Pardon Came—May Spend Days in Asylum. Columbus. O.—William Welch, thir ty-five years old. the man who re ceived a life sentence in the peniten tiary for stealing a piece of bacon, is no longer a convict. Governor Cox announced his pardon. But the gover nor could not restore Welch’s reason, which has fled after five years In prison. It is likely that the unfortu nate man will have to spend the re mainder of his days in the asylum. Six years ago Welch, a New York City waif, was caught with a piece of bacon, valued at one dollar, which he had stolen from a farmer at Green ville. because, he said, he was hungry and unable to obtain work. He pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary, believing that leniency would be shown him. Instead, Judge Allread sentenced him to a life term. Application for his pardon was signed by Judge Allread and the prosecuting attorney. DENTIST WEDS APPLE EATER Dr. Thomas Allen, Who Lived Twc Months on Peanuts. Bride groom in Missouri. Dr. Allen, former president of Aurora college, who lived 60 days on pea nuts, and Miss Lillian Suehr of Ot tawa. who is said to have existed 92 days on apples, were married in Eu reka Springs, Mo., where Dr. Allen is proprietor of a sanitarium. The bridegroom is fifty years old. his bride is twenty years his junior. The bride was a stenographer for years for Lee O’Neil Browne, Ottawa legislator. She went to Eureka Springs last fall for the benefit of her health, and while there met Dr. Allen. Dr. Allen four years ago read that a boy In the central part of the state had died from eating peanuts. "Why, that must be wrong; I could live 60 days on raw peanuts,” he said. His statement was challenged, and he went on the exclusive goober diet to prove his contention. Plan to Aid Midget Mascot.
