I AMBASSADOR REGRETS THE ACTION
fapaaea Repreaeatatlra at Waiklsg.
toa Horry that Friendship ot
Hatloaa la Followed by In
dignity to Stadenta.
I WASHINQTOy, Oct. 26.-Viscount Aokl,
the Japanese avibaxsador, at a conference
! with Secretary Hoot at the State depart
j (nent today, made the request on behalf
j of his j-overnment, that the t'nlted States
I aee that Japanese subjects In California
i were accorded their full rights under the
treaty of Including the right of ctitl-
, dren to freely attend the publlo schools of
: San Francisco. Secretary Root will take
Ithe matter up with the president, and It
la likely that representations will be made
ade with the authorities of California.
The ambassador said the exclusion ot
; Japanese children ' from Saa Francisco
auliools was the chief cause of the critic
ism of the United States. . Ha was Inclined
I to . discount other " causes given for the
faenttment against this country.
No formal protest was lodged by the am
bassador with Mr. Root, but In a friendly
way Viscount Aokl discussed the situation
"with- the "secretary and expressed regret
that Japanese children should be dlscrtm-
Jnated against.
The friendship between the United States
Lnd Japan Is too does and of too long
tandltig J Justify any formal protest -on
tho part 'of "3apn because of wrongs Its
eltlsena may have suffered In some local
ity in the United SUtes, said Viscount
Aokl. "There Is much misunderstanding In
Japan concerning the true situation. Of
eourse, the Japanese government fully
.realises that the action against the Japa
ivtese children Is local and not general In
this country, but all the Japanese people
do not understand the conditions in this
eountry,' and an unfriendly attitude to
. "ward Japan la regarded as a national
taction"
The action against the Japanese children
ts regarded as extremely serious by Vls
tfount Aokl and he made no attempt to dis
count Its Importance. "After all the years
mt friendship between the two nations It
PMmi too bad .'that poor, Innooent little
Japanese school children should be subject
to' ouch indignities," said the ambassador.
'"Such action on the part of local authori
ties In this country Is resented very blt
nverly by all Japanese."
Japanese View of Situation.
T0K1O. Oct. . It is believed hero that
the anti-Japanese feeling In America Is
confined to the labor element. The tone of
the Japanese press Is sobering down
(Thoughtful Japanese believe that If the
country allowed Itself to be carried away
by a momentary excitement agatnat Amer
ica thla would only play into the hands of
those who are anxious to attract foreign
Sympathies from Japan. It is believed that
the friendship between America and Japan
Is too deeply rooted to be sacrificed through
tzivlsl animosities.

Himself In Cell.
MII,TARD, Neb.. Oct. JO.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) Last night a man named Thomas
Coffey, recently employed by Contractor
Fltigerald on the railroad grade, came to
the town marshal and asked permission
to sleep In the Jail. Thia was granted and
the door was left open so he could leave
when he was ready. About 10:S0 o'clock
ha came to the marshal and ssked that the
door be locked, as "they are after me and
I'm afraid they'll get me." Ills .request
was granted.
This morning, when the marshal un
locked the door, the body of Coffey
found hanging from the top of one of th
cells, to which It was attached by hi
suspenders. The top of the cell Is so low
It permitted his foet to touch the floor and
he had bent his knees to produce strangula
tion. Little Is known of the man around here.
Mr. Flttgerald saya he has known him
casually for twelve or fifteen years and
that he was a well educated man, but had
been ruined by drink and drugs. He was

of Use of Drag.
KEARNEY. Neb.. Oct. 25. (8peclal.)
' Fearing that he would go Insane from the
effects of morphine. Benjamin F. Ayers
committed suicide by shooting thla morn
in, dvlna- this afternoon. It was found
that the bullet, which was from a 23-callber,
long barreled, target pistol, had entered the
brain. The cause of the deed was given In
a letter addressed to his son, Charles
Ayers, which had been writen at various
times. Heading the letter Is the following:
"Don't let thla be seen. Tell all that I
killed myself rather than become a sot
and disgrace to myself and family through
the vice of morphine."
Mr. Ayers wsa born In Ashtabula, O., In
183 and served In the war. with Company I,
Forty-eighth Indiana Infantry. He lost
his left arm In battle In 1863, and drew a
pension. He settled on a homestead near

Storm Does No Damaare.
GORDON. Neb., Oct. 25. (Special.) This
section of Nebraska was visited by the
worst snowstorm that has ever been known
to occur here at this time of the year. It
began' to rain and snow last Friday after
noon and the storm continued to grow
worse until Tuesday night, when the wind
went down, and Wednesday morning all
vii lovely again.' The snow Is from one
to two feet deep on the level and In many
places Is drifted several feet deep. Trains
are delayed and telephone wires are down
Up to this writing no serious losses to
stockmen are reported. Today the snow Is
rapidly meJtlng and Indications now are
that northwest Nebraska will yet hava Its
accustomed eight weeks of sunshine from
November 1 to New Tears. Nearly all the
farmers have their potatoes dug and in the
pit and what few are yet undug are said
to be uninjured by the snowstorm, ss the
weather was not cold and the ground re
mains unfroaen under its coat of snow.
Many fields of grain are yet In the stack
awaiting thrtr turn In threshing. The fre
quent heavy rains of September caused
farmers to be from two to three weeks
behind in their fall work.

This morning a suit was riled against Rose
Klrkwood, who Is charged with conduct
ing , such a house half a block from O
street, on Ninth. The suit was filed by
Charles Selfert, who conducts a bicycle
store. He alleges m this house occur
fights and disturbances every night and
that the women who live there conduct
themselves In a very unseemly manner,
that they go out In the street-more or less
Intoxicated and dressed less. All this, he
alleges, has depreciated the value of prop

house used for other purposes If it is used
at all. ' ' ' ' - '

Absentees at Shallenherarer Meeting;.
The democrats of Lincoln pulled off a big
rally here tonight, with A. C. fihallenberger,
candidate for governor, the drawing card,
in a mighty effort to tear down the stone
wall of republicanism which encloses Lan
caster county. The affulr was held .In the
Oliver theater, and ' the Havelock band,
with the big "B. & M." sign, significant at
least tn this Instance, painted on the bass
drum, was a pleasing feature of the affair.
In the audience were a number of repub
licans, including officials of the republican
state committee, while the absence from
the stage of Oeorge W. Berge and the ab
sence from the audience of populists was
conspicuous enough to attract notice. The
democratic candidate was given an enthu
siastic reception when he wus Introduced
and he was cheered frequently. His speech
was carefully prepared, and happy stories
at opportune times kept it from being aiy
and uninteresting. He spoke of the sec
tions of the democratic platform in detail
and promised profusely to carry out its
pledges If elected governor. He asserted It
was more apedflc than the republican plat
form, and he dwelt at length upon the
plank promising a law to compel a 2-cent
passenger rate. Hla time spent on this sec
tion was In the nature of an apology. In
that he explained thoroughly that tho rail
roads would make money by the change.
He assured the audience Nebruvka needed
no more new laws, but needed enforcement
of the prfsent laws, especially the maxi
mum freight rate law, which he failed to
explain became a dead letter when the
State Board of Transportation was declared
unconstitutional.
He denounced the republican party for
passing a revenue law In which the precinct
assessor was cut out and the power of as
sessment placed In the hands of the county
assessor, with the state board, a board of
review, with final power to Increase or de
crease the assessment.
Ilu told in detail of the trrf.it 'Increase

tracking the bridge east of town. This
work will necessitate an addition to each

throughout a good part of the winter. It
was hoped when the bridge was built.' the
early pnrt of this year, that they could get
along with a single track, but the extraor
dinary e.mount of business this fail bus
demonstrated the need of a double track.

NORTH PLATTE The Burlington rail
road has recently made contracts for the
purchase of sevornl additional residence
properties on First street, along the Una
of Its survey, and others have been asked
to set a price on their property. It Is lie
lieved by some that thla is u scheme uon
the part of some of the real estate agents
to Inflate values, but it is the opinion of
most of the poople that the Burlington
will enter North Platte at no far distant
date. The contracts already made have
been at good prices: In fact, at amounts
a little above tholr selling value, and thev
are made on a ash payment of ijO. the
balance to tie paid at the end of thirty
days. This precludes the possibility of the
sales being a scheme of real estate dealers,
as It would hardly lie possible for them to
sell the real estate st the prices contracted
for within thirty days. Of course. If tha
Burlington Is making a bluff It could easily
afford to los the cash deposits, but every
Indication points to the fact that It Is not
a blult.
