cause he felt that any step toward re
lieving the demand for greater elas
ticity at certain seasons of the year
was desirable, but he argued that the
committee strive to frame a more ef
fective measure.
William B. Ridgley, comptroller of
the currency, advocated before the
house committee on hanking and cur
rency the proposed credit currency
plan. There was, he said, no ques
tion regarding the necessity of some
measure of relief. He believed a
graduated tax should be placed on
the credit notes which would create
an ample reserve for their redemption.
This, he thought, was a much super
ior method to the high tax plan with
no reserves. '
Mr. Ridgley was strongly in favor of
having the government guarantee such
credit currency. No risk would be in
volved in this, as he said the 5 per
cent guarantee fund would make the
government safe. '' ''
Mr. Ridgley favored increasing the
present $3,000,000 monthly limit on
the retirement of national bank cir
culation to $12,000,000 or $15,000,000
and giving the secretary of the treas
ury discretionary power to modify or
suspend the limit to meet any arising
condition. This limit was fixed, he
said, when the circulation of the coun
try was something like $180,000,000.
It is now more than $500,000,000.
William H. Berry, state treasurer
of Pennsylvania, followed Mr. Ridgley,
He Is decidedly opposed to the credit
currency, although he believes the
bankers will succeed in their deter
mined efforts to secure its triaL This
trial, in his opinion, will be abortive.

divorce from John Hurt,; her third
husband. Mrs. Hurt claims-that her
husband left her in 1898, after - she
had "kicked him out" of the house
She asks for an absolute divorce and
that the name of her second husband

titled to all her property. Mrs. Hurt
was so feeble that she could not climb

district court, and the clerk came
downstairs to swear her.

Powers Regard War Over Philippines
as Matter of a Few Years Troops
Being Rushed to Hawaii
Berlin The relations between the
United States and Japan excite ex
traordinary interest both in govern
ment and diplomatic circles here. Em
peror William' discussed the question
with several persons recently, and is
thoroughly informed regarding Presi
dent Roosevelt's personal views on the
subject It is believed that Russia's
more resolute attitude against Japan's
requests for trade 'and colonization
rights on the Amur river and in Si
beria for fishery privileges on the
adjacent Russian coasts is partly due
to the discussion of the California
school question between .the United
States and Japan.
The Russian foreign office has been
subjected to steady diplomatic pres
sure on the part of Japan in the effort
to obtain these far-reaching rights.
The result is that the idea has been
created atthe Russian foreign office
that Japan might make her ambitions
the occasion for a renewal of the war
with Russia.
This idea pervaded the conversa
tions which the Russian foreign min
ister, M. Iswolsky,. had with the gov
ernment officials and, others whom he
met here on the occasion of his visit
to Berlin six weeks ago. M. Iswolsky
met many prominent people here , and
talked with extraordinary freedom.
Among German military and naval
officers the possibility of a conflict be
tween the United States nd Japan has
been quite freely discussed, and the
professional . views .appear to agree
that Japan would take the Philippine
Islands and place , upon the United
States the necessity , of conducting
across the Pacific prolonged sea and
land campaigns, which would call forth
.immense expeditions against great nat
ural obstacles. . ,- ..
It was known here In June that the
British admiralty had considered the-
retically the possibility of war between
Japan and the United States as likely
to occur within twenty-five years, and
some of, the British naval men are re
ported to have expressed the belief
that the. contest would occur within
five years,, In any case, It is certain
that several European foreign offices
are at present making inquiries re
garding the temper of the Japanese
people and the government of Japan.
Board Concedes Point
San Francisco Japanese children
who have passed the grammar grades
have not been, and will not be de
barred from the high schools."
This statement was made by Presi
dent Altmann of the board of educa
tion. Accordingly, if any Japanese sees
fit to pursue the higher education, in
so far as the public schools of the
city can make a pathway for him there
will be no bar after he1 passes through
the Oriental school. It Is only In the
grammar and primary grades that any
objection is made to the presence of
Japanese and the chief objection in
those grades is to grown men.
"The board of education will stand
pat in the position taken," said Mr.
Altmann, speaking for the board of
education. "We have proceeded ac
cording to the law, and it is the move
of the United States." v
"It is up to Attorney General
Moody,"" said United. States District
Attorney Devlin. "I have telegraphed
the agreed statement of facts to him,
and today have written letters explan
atory of that nd and of the condi
tions here. I am ready to move when
ordered."
The Examiner publishes the follow
ing dispatch from Honolulu today:
"The officers of the transport
Thomas have announced that two regi
ments are to be rushed immediately
to , the island in anticipation of
trouble with the Japanese. They ab
solutely refuse to give out any of the
details bearing on the call for troops
or the reason why the government
feels that the soldiers of the United
States army are necessary in the isl
ands, which are at this time overrun
by the little brown men. -
"It is understood that the mikado
was extremely anxious to secure pos
session of the island of Lanai, which is
private property This island is fifty
miles from Honolulu and could be
used as an excellent naval base
against the United States by any for
eign! power. It has two splendid har
bors of sufficient depth to accommo
date a large fleet of war vessels.
; r"Last night Attorney George D.
Gear secured an 'Injunction against
Governor j Carter and Land Commis
sioner Pratt to prevent their selling
the island to a syndicate. It is un
derstood that the syndicate represents
the Japanese government or people
who -ultimately expect to dispose of
the island to Japan.
Officials Deny Report
Washington It is stated at the war
department that no order has been
issued for the dispatch of additional
troops to the Hawaiian islands, nor
is any such order contemplated. The
permanent garrison in Hawaii consists
of four companies of regular troops.
Two of these were last summer or
dered to the mainland for target prac
tice, the facilities for which were lack
ing in the islands. They have now
returned to their posts and no immed
iate changes In the force or additions
thereto are contemplated. ,
No further action will be taken by
the department of justice in the test
case at San Francisco, brought for
the purpose of having the court decide
on the legality of the California law
preventing Japanese from attending
public schools with American children.
The question will be handled by Mr.
Bonaparte, who is expected to take
up his duties as attorney general on
Monday.
The department has received from
the district attorney at San Francisco
a telegram giving in detail the state
ment .of agreed facts between the city
authorities and himself in the matter
of the Japanese school controversy,
and has transmitted the telegrarn to
Secretary of State Root for his consideration.
