AMERICAN CONSUL IS OBSTINATE
Hefases to Accept It stasia's Right to
Dictate In nrtari o Maa.
1 rharlaa -Territory Mw
Dvrtlop mrntt.
ST. PETERSBURG. March 31.-The Rus
sian government In disturbed by the atti
tude sss-imed , by KrH D.. Fisher, the
American coniiut at Harbin, In the matter
of recognising (he Jurisdiction at Rumla
In Manchuria. Mri Klsher Insists that
Chinese., -sovereignty ,ln Manchuria la
supreme, and, furthermore, he has sup
ported the protests of China sgalnst the
establishment by Russia ot municipalities
In the railroad cone at Uaibin and Challar
Independent of the ClUneae government,
' and his attitude In this Russo-Chlnese dif
ficulty has prompted Russia to seek an
eiplanatlon of his course both at the
American embassy hcreand lnVashlng-
. ton.
Mr. Fisher Is accredited to China, and
, since his arrival In Harbin In January,
117, he has consistently refused to recog
nise or admit that he should have any
thing to do with the Russian administra
tion of the, territory. He has been firm In
Ills assumption that, he was accredited
solely to Cfctna. and he has declined to act
on the suggestion conveyed to him by an
official of the Russian railroad adminis
tration that he should secure the permis
sion of General Horvath.' the Russian gov
ernor of Harbin, before -'opening his con
tulate or raising the American flag over
She building.
Vnder the treaty of ISM, Russia claims
exclusive control over ,the railroad son
In Manchuria, as Well as' the right to' or
ganise Independent .self-governing munici
palities. The taotal of Harbin protested
against this, to the" Russian governor and
, to the consuls of the United States and
Japan. The Japanese, who are now co
operating In the friendliest manner with
the Russlsns In Manchuria, rejected this
protest, but Mr." Fisher supported It.
j The foreign office here expresses the be
lief that It would be decidedly to the in
terest of the I'nlted States to recognise
Russian administration of Manchuria, In
asmuch as foreign residents share In the
privileges of this administration.
Already "object of Inquiry.
WASHINGTON, March 31. It Is admitted
t the State department that the status of
the American consul at Harbin has been
made the subject ..of representations to
Washington by the Russian government,
but while negotiations are pending the of
ficials are loath to discuss It. The Im
portant fact la developed, however, that
the American consul. Mr. Fisher. Is not
tctlng on his own Initiative In declining
to seek the permission of Russia to exer
rlse his consular functions. Oft the con
trsry. It Is understood thst he Is simply
executing a carefully considered plan of
the" State department to bring about
through proper means a recognition not
only by Russia, but by other nations In
terested In Msnchurla, pf the Integrity of
Chinese possessions. It was long ago per
ceived that to admit the right of political
control of either Russia or Japan over the
so-called "railroad gone" In Manchuria,
Including as they do the principal com
mercial depots, and capable as they are of
Indefinite expansion of boundaries at the
whim ofy . holders, would soon com
pletely' tfyLjin HayV dream of -the
open door'.'.Jjtrtchurla.
Therefore. IVciulte definite policy has
been adopted by the State department, the
very foundation of which waa the appli
cation of American consuls In that
province for Chinese executors. This was
by no means pleasing to Japan, but It Is
believed that America- Is supported fylly
therein by the great cororrierclal nations
of Europe, which have large trade Inter
ests In the orient. ' -. '

Vital Statistics Lacking.
MITCH ELI S. D., March 31. (Special.)
Doane Robinson, superintendent of vital
statistics. Is making a round of the coun
ties of the state, looking Into the reasons
for the lack of reports concerning the births
and deaths which have occurred. ' Mr. Rob
inson's books at Pierre show that a num
ber of counties are somewhat short on this
Information and It Is for the purpose of
stirring them up to their duties that the
superintendent Is making his investigation
It. Is the intent of the law to1 put the bur
den of these reports on the persons most
interested In making them to the clerks of
courts, whose duty it Is to make report to
the superintendent. By this system there
snould be on record at Pierre the name of
every child born In the state from the time
that the law went Into effect, and also the
name of every person that died; while a
siate record Is also kept of the marriages
and -"Ivorces that are granted. In the years
to come these records are going to be very
valuable and the superintendent wants to
impress on the people right now that they
must not overlook this duty.

toart s He Has night to Pass
I'pon Reasonableness of Rates,
Incladlagr the Two-Cent
Fare Law.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. March 31. Jtldge
Smith Mcpherson In the federal court here
today decided that he has full Jurisdiction
over both the maximum freight rate and
the I-cent passenger fare cases In Misseur)
In other words, ha holds In favor of the
railroads and against the state In the
question of Jurisdiction.
Last year tho legislature passed the 2-
cer.t law and a minimum freight law. re,
ducing existing freight rates about 15 per
cent. All of t.ie main line railroads In
Missouri Joined in an application for an
injunction last June from the federal court
at Kansas City to prevent the state offl
elaJs from enforcing the laws. Meantime a
truce was arranged between the railroads
and the attorney general under which the
roads were to put the 2-cent law In force.
The freight rate law waa first passed In
1906 and fixed rates on many commodities
in car load lots on a cent-a-mlle basis
The enforcement of that law was tied up
by the federal court and a master took
testimony to determine the fairness of the
rate. In 190T, with the case still pending,
the leglslautre passed a new law with more
reasonable rata schedules for live stock.
The railroads went Into court with an
amendment to their first bill, enjoining the
enforcement of the old law. They asked
the court to enjoin the new freight rate
because the passenger earnings are In
volved In the same cIrbs with freight
earnings. In making up the total receipts.
Attorney General Hadley fought the
amendment, denying the right of the fed
eral court to enjoin him or Interfere with
the enforcement of tho criminal statute
The railroads agreed to give the J-cent
law a test for three months and asked
Judge Mc-Pherson to give them that much
time to see how the law would affect their
revenues.
For seven months the railroads have sold
tickets at 2 cents. Now comes the court
with a decision, holding that In enjoining
the state officers he is not enjoining the
state itself; that he has a perfect right to
go Into the question of whether the rates
fixed by the statutes are remunerative.
Frank Hagerman, attorney for the rail
roads, said today afterr the decision was
rendered that he did not know what the
next steps of the railroads would be.

CHEERILY TRAINS FOR PEN
Man of Three Namei - Flippantly
Pleads Guilty to Forgery.
SEVERAL MEN WISER, BUT POORER
Poses First as State Building- Inspec
tor and Is t'anght In Nebraska
City After Trimming;
Omaha Men,
With a cheery humor that seems deserv-
' a better fate, J. C. Johnson pursued
In Omaha his preliminary training course
to a term In the penitentiary.
Johnson, who also went under the names
of Harry Martin and C. F. Jones, was ar
rested in Nebraska City Monday, brought
back to Omulia and Tuesday was -bound
over to the district court under $300 bond
after ho had nonchalantly pleaded guilty
to forgery. Detectives Dunn and Ferris
had been working on the case since John
son disappeared frcm Omaha last Friday,
leaving several citizens poorer, but wiser.
Johnson first made his appearance at the
I'allu Moving Tlcture theater, lately ppened
et Fourteenth and Douglas streets. To R.
O. Grayson, the manager, he presented his
card, reading, "J. C. Johnson, Statg-Build
ing Inspector.'!
Manager Grayson conducted the building
Inspector over his establishment. The in
spector examined everything Carefully. He
was no man to slight his duties, this In
spector, for did not the lives of little chll-
Aren and women depend upon It? However,
he was gratified to fine that the aisles of
the theater were seven inches wider than
the law demanded. He took occasion to
commend Manager Grayson upon the lib-
eraI spirit with which he had complied
with the state law. He went further and
wrote a letter of commendation and signed
his name to it with his full title,
"state
build'iig Inspector."
As he was about to leave he found him
self in need of a little cash. He had a
check for $25. Would Mr. Grayson cash It?
Well, rather. And the Inspector departed
Government Itevenne Inspector.
The same afternoon he went into the
saloon of George Hyte, 302 North Sixteenth
street. He Introduced 'himself as a gov
ernment revenue Inspector. He allowed his
badge and Mr. Hyte immediately placed
himself at the disposal of Uncle Sam's
truBty man. Together they went through
the establishment from one end to the
Other. Tim rovi.nna Insnitn.

The big houses will run as usual, though
the corporation which owns them and in
which M. F. Martin has merged his inter
ests and In which he owns $110,000 ot JK.i
stock, has taken steps to convert them
Into tenements for tho poorer class of
people.
It is noted In this connection that It the
"cribs" had two stories Instead of only
one and if the windows were closed so as
to shut off view from the street, they
would not come under the class proscribed
by the edict of the fire and police com
missioners. CHARGE AGAINST HESTER
Complaint Filed In County Court nnd
"Prof." Itay Is Ilelng
Brought Back.
Complaint has been filed In county
court against Clarence Hester, alias Frof.
Landa, alias Trnf. Ray, charging him with
defrauding ' Anna Offermann of South
Omaha out of f-,CMX In a fortune telling
game. The man with so many aliases Is
under arrest In Buffalo, N. Y.. and Cap
tain Shields of South Omaha has secured
the necessary papers to bring him back to
Nebraska and will go for him at once. In
the complaint it Is Bet forth that Anna
Offermann is ,an old woman easily in
fluenced. She (ays the professor told her
there was $30,000 burled on her farm and
he could locate the pile for her. To make,
his charm, however, the professor told ills
victim, she must deposit $2,000 in a box in
which he had a mariner's compass. This
was done. Then the box was secured
around the top with cement and dropped
into a jbucke.tlof water into which some
colors had becrl dissolved. The victim then
placed the boxi in the safety deposit vault
for sate keeping. The professor was to
call the next morning and the box was to
be opened. If the charm worked the com
pass would be sufficiently "galvanized'' to
locate the mondy when taken to the farm.
The woman dlnl-overed the next morning,
when the profcsior failed to show up, that
he had swltcheo' boxes on her and her $J,Ouo
was gone.
Captain ShleU i located the man in Buf
falo and caused nla arrest.
