TOKIO, July 10. Tne Tal Hoi Yo news
agincy today says that Viscount Kentaro
Kaneko has received a letter from Theo
dore Roosevelt expressing the view that
American public opinion will not permit
the naturalization of Japanese In the
United States, as It would lead to a sim
itar claim on the part of the Chinese.
Mr. Roosevelt, according to the news
agency, promised to uso his efforts in tba
ablution of the Callfomtaallcn land own
ership situation.
Viscount Kaneko la a graduate In law

war and delivered many addresses alt
over tho country.
Mr. Bryan told Inquirers that the points
of his reply wero discussed with Am

transmission to tho Toklo government.
Mr. Bryan said, however, that no point
was raised In his conference with the am

members present affixed their signatures
to tho instrument nnd two present nnd
one absent refused for various and op
posing reasons. Ono member, unavoid

Of tho three who refused to sign the

that there." was too much prbhlblUqn and
not enough homo rule In It. J. W. Met--calfe's
reason. In a letter to tho chair

Shamp and Reagan explained why they
"would not sign. '
'"It la too bad you fellows couldn't
agree with me," said Reagan. "But I
want to eay that every man on this con
vention has given tho work the best of
his judgment ana It's too bad I couldn't

Prior to the meeting Senator Reagan
said he would sign the charter "If Mayor
Dahlman think It In nil right."
"Wo'it talk - to him," answered E.

The mayor was not In, but was called

When, tho slgnlnff.of tho charter was
finished CarMIerrlng naked for the prlvN
lege ot speaking. " Ho addressed Chair
man Victor Rosewater, .'
"On behalf ot the members or this
convention." he said, "I wanrHo express
t$ the chairman our appreciation of his
work on this convention. Two things ara
requisite tq the success of a chairman
of an organization of this character. Ha
must be absolutely fair and he must be
able- to expedite .business. You, Mr.
Chairman, havo possessed both theso
qualities. And you have mada the work
pleasant for us.
"Pcrsqpally, and for tho members of
the convention, I want to say that the
chairman's efforts have always been ab
solutely sincere and having beerf asso
ciated with him dally I can truthfully
say that he has earnestly labored to give
the .'people of Omaha a godd charter.
"This charter Js a decided Improve
ment upon the old and I do not believe
it is fair or right that It be criticized for
things which aro read intp It but are
really not there.'
Sny Worked iia Friend.
Chairman Qefalor thanked the
speaker ana, extended to tho convention
nis appreciation of the manner In which
they had co-operated to bring about a
''real home rule charter." Ho said:
"I certainly appreciate your kind
words. When I accepted the position of
presiding officer of this convention. I
believed that we would carry our delib
erations in a peaceable, satisfactory
manner, and we have. We have been
associated as friends and nothing that
has been said here. J believe, was In
tended to hurt the feelings of any mem
ber. No member has desired to treat
another Unfairly. The rules of the con
venllon were not adopted to give any
man, or committee power, and the con
vention now realizes that a central body
Ot men was necessary to fit the separate
sections together and eliminate conflicts
and expedite work.
"We we're delayed at the beginning for
a month or six weeks by the tornado, but
we liave completed tho charter within the
tithe fixed by law. If this charter is
adopted I shall be satisfied with having
helped make Omaha a better, more pro
gressive city."
The eleven who signed the charter were:

John E. Reagan. E. M, Fairfield, who
was compelled to go east two days ago,
will sign the charter when he returns.
Chairman Rosewater presented, as re
quired by law. a preface and a synopsis
of the -charter. In his preface he said:

Mrs. Rlgby declared It was she who

Text of Confession,
Sho told the magistrate:
"X lighted that beacon. I also placed
tho explosives In the Liverpool Stock dx
change to show how easy It is to procure
them and to place them in public build
ings. I might just as easily have blown
up the Nelson monument.
"I cboso tho Liverpool Cotton exchange
because the cotton industry has boon
built up largely by women's labor. The
merchants aro willing to get power and
wealth out of the labor of women, while
tho women themselves are denied the
vote nnd citizenship. This is, tho first
knock at the door. Under tho 'cat and
mouse act' one of the greatest women of
tho land Is going to be done to death. If
the government is going to kill that
woman this is a warning'."
Mrs, Rlgby has been a member of the
Woman's Social and Political union, the
militant suffragette- organization, for
many years and has taken a great part
In publlo movements to promote the wel
fare of women. She has been Impris
