Only Influence of (Tiristiunity Can
Prevent War, says Count Okuma, ,
Former Premier.
A cablegram from Toklo, Japan,
says the slt\iation brought about by 1
the California alien land holding bill
is becoming increasingly serious. A
mass meeting Friday composed for
the most part of irresponsible people
demanded the most extreme measures
of retaliation by Japan. During
the gathering the singing of war i
songs aroused the feelings of many
of the lower classes who were present.
'
Anonymous writers in the newspapers
gave an, outline of plans of the
seizure of the Phillipine Islands and
Hawaii and at the same time denounce
the Japan government's submissive
attitude. It is said that the
changed conditions in Japan make it
impossible for the government to restrain
the newspapers and the lower
classes.
un mo otnor nana government circles
are showing spirit. Hamilton
Wright iMahie, of New York; Dr.
Peabody and John L. Mott, secretary
of the International Committee of
the Young Men's Christian association,
were the guests Friday at a luncheon
given by Baron Noboaki Makino,
the foreign minister, at which
some of the most prominent Japanese
and Americans were present. A
very cordial feeling prevailed.
Shortly after the luncheon Messrs.
Mabie, Peabody and Mott and a nurajor
of representative Japanese Chris- 1
tians and Americans met at the residence
of Count Shigenobu Okunia,
former premier and minister of foreign
affairs. Count Okunia delivered
a speech during which he said that
diplomacy, the courts and commercial
men were helpless and that only
the influence of Christianity remained.
Otherwise, he declared, war was
I impending.
Mr. Mott agreed in replying that
the influence of the Christianity was
now superlative. Dispatches were
-.sent. by the meeting to President Wilson"
and others imploring them to use
all their influence on Christians and
thoughtful people to avoid a calamity.
The Japanese government considers
the present anti-Japanese movement
in California as most dangerous
and is faced with the prospect of
placing itself in a most unwelcome
position, owing to the unwillingness
of the federal government at Washington
to intervene and the Impossibility
of introducing counter measures
at Tokio.
In the event of the oassatro of the
California alien land holding .bill
through both houses of the legislature,
Japan will issue an imperial
ordinance to enforce the Japan foreign
land ownership bill of 1910 and
will apply to the federal government
at Washington for permission of Japanese
to become naturalized citizens
of the United States.
At the mass meeting of protest at
Tokio Friday night, there was hysterical
anti-American outburst. Deputy
iMatsumura urged the dispatch of a
Japanese fleet to California as a first
step toward establishing Japan on an
absolutely equal footing in the United
States.
IM1. Miyake, an editor of the Japan
Times, deprecated the constant visit
there of American peace apostles,
"when their own country Is in urgent
need of the principles of Justice and
humanity."
Other fiery orators insisted that
the questions between Japan and
America had better be eettled now,
once and for all. Otherwise their
constant recurrence would lead at
last to the arbitrament of war.
Twenty thousand persons listened
to the remarks of the firebrands, who
apparently are engineering a campaign
to mold public opinion in
Japan.

BALLOON COLLAPSES j
WAS HIGH UP IN T11K AIR WHEN
IT HAPPENED. M
Five Persons Who Were In the Halloon
Were Killed by the Awful
Aecident.
At 'Noisy He Grand, France, one of
tho most terrible accidents to a S
Bllherieal tinllnnn in --
. u man/ /iiuru occurred
Friday afternoon. The military
ballon Zodiac collapsed at a
height of about 6f>0 feet and fell to
the ground with its five occupants, all
of whom were killed.
The Zodiac, which had a capacity
of 1,600 cubic metres, was inflated
with ordinary gas and left the Aero
club park at St. Cloud with the military
aeronauts Captain Clavenad and V1
Denoue, Lieutenant de Vaissolet and ^
Artillryman Rechy, and the civilian ^
pilot, Aumont Thievllle, aboard. Pro- ai
polled by a strong wind, the balloon
passed rapidly over Paris and arrived 1
at Noisy le Grand. Observers suddenly
saw it shrivel up and fall. a
Laborers working in the fields rush- Vl
ed to the assistance of the aeronauts, ^
but had difllculty in extricating s
them from the vast mass of silk. K
Three of the men?Cleveland, ^
Rechy and Thieville?were killed
outright. Denoue and de Vaissolet P
were still breathing. They wero plac- "
ed in an automobile which happened
to be passing and rushed to the mill- ?
tary hospital at Vincennes. Donoue D
died on the way and de Vaisolet died
at the hospital. 11
The exact cause of the accident is '(
a mystery. The collapse was due to
r? ?* I * % * %
c* icui 111 tuo rover, wnicn apparently M
was made intentionally. The theory
is that something wont wrong with h
the valve and that one of the aero- h
nauts lost his head and cut the valve, ^
causing the immediate defacing of a
tho balloon. The log indicates that c
the Zodiac passed over Paris at an
altitude of about 2,500 feet; after P
which it dropped and then ascended
above the clouds. Here the log stops. a

Speaker Champ Clark and Secreiry
William J. Bryan met at a priute
luncheon at Washington, shook
amis and issued public statements
Bclaring they had burled the hatchet
nd put the personalities of the Balmore
Convention with the bygones,
he luncheon was arranged by Theoore
A. Bell, of California, temporrily
chairman of the Denver Conention
in 1908, and chairman of the
allfornia delegation supporting
peaker Clark at Baltimore, and was
Iven by Ira E. Bennett, editor of
le Washington Post.
Intense interest was aroused in
olitical circles over the reconcillaon
of the two antagonists, whose
ifferences became acute as a result
f events at the Baltimore Convenon.
Secretary 'Btryan's prepared statelent
issued Friday night is as fol>ws:
"My meeting with Mr. Clark has
urved to clear up a misunderstandlg
as to my exact position toward
im at the Baltimore Convention. I
ave tried to make it clear to Mr.
lark that I have always regarded,
mi uu now regard, mm as a good,
lean, progressive Democrat. If my
inguage at Boston created any imression
that I was charging Mr.
dark with being In sympathy with
ny of the reactionary forces, 1 am
lad of the opportunity to correct
ny such misconstruction of my
rords or acts, for I did not intend to
eilect upon either the personal or
olitical integrity of the Speaker. It.
\ niv earnest wish that there may ho
ordial co-operation between the
tate department and the Speaker in
a.rying out the policies of the Adlinist
rat ion."
Here is Speaker Clark's statement:
"It is beyond the power of Col.
tryan or any one else to correct the
njustico that was done to mo at BalImore.
The loss of the Presidential
omination was a small thing as comared
to the injury done to my repuatlcn
in the eyes of the world. Put,
ow that Col. Bryan in his public
tatement has done what he can to
emove the injurious impressions
hat were created by his Baltimore
peeches, I feel that we can all the
etter co-operate for the good of the
ulministration. I can only repeat
Hiat I have publicly declared time
nd time again, that all personal or
elfish considerations must give way
11 me uuijf iniiu an i/emocrais owe
o our party and to our country."
Those who sat at the table with the
thers already mentioned and saw
he disappearance of what many poItlcal
sages thought the most embarassing
situation confronting Presilent
Wilson's Administration were:
Vice-President Marshall. Secretary
.nne, Senators Kern and O'Oorman,
tepresentatlve Crisp, Secretary Tunulty,
Assistant Secretaries Osborne
ind Malone, of the State departnent;
Thomas F. Logan andd L. L.
ames.
Thoso in charge of the affair said
Ipeaker Clark and Secretary 'Bryan
ixchanged jokes and had a good
ime. The statements were given
>ut through >Mr. Bennett.
So far as is known it was the first
ime the two have met since before
he Baltimore Convention. Speaker
Bark's friends always have said Mr.
^ryan prevented his nomination and
hat it was through Mr. Bryan's acivity
and influence that the Convenion,
contrary to custom, refused to
five the Speaker the necessary twohirda
vote after it several times had
jiven to him a majority. Strong
tatements of a somewhat personal
nature were also issued by Mr. Bryan
ind Mr. Clark at the time.
The reconciliation was looked up>n
in political circles as the most slgliflcant
political development of the
Ulministration so far.

PENALTY FOR MURDER
HUSHING K LKOTIIOCVTKD FOH
KILLING WIFK.
The Murder of Mrs. Hushing Was
One of the Must Hrutnl on Hecord
in this State.
For the murder of his wife, Sue
Rushing, Charlie P. Rushing, white,
of Chesterfield County, was Friday
morning electrocuted at the State
Penitentiary. Tho current was turn
ru on tne condemned man at 11.54
and ran through his body for 55 seconds.
Death was pronounced by Dr.
Jennings, tho prison physician at
11:57.
The electrocution, the eighth sinco
the installation of tho chair, was witnessed
by about slxty-tlve spectators,
who assembled in the death chamber
at 11:45. Hushing was Immediately
brought into tho room and placed in
tho chair. After the straps had been
adjusted he was asked by Superintendent
Griffith if he had any statement
to make to which he replied in
tho negative. Uev. J. C. Abney, the
Penitentiary chaplain, who has been
with the wife murdered constantly
during his confinement, then spoke
with him briefly about his soul's welfare.
After Rushing had shaken hands
with Capt. Griiffi'th and Uev. Abney,
the metal clamp was placed on the
prisoner's log and the helmet on his
head. J. C. Robbins, one of the prison
guards, threw the switch and in
fifty-tlce seconds the current was
turned off. Hushing had a relative
living within the city and ho took
charge of the body of his cousin. It
will be shipped to Chesterfield for
burial.
Tho crime for which Charles Hushing
was Friday morning electrocuted
is one of the most, brutal in the history
of his county. One night some
months ago Hushing went to his
homo in a drunken condition. Ho
quarreled with his wife with whom
he had been on bad terms for some
f i m r% ? '
v.. i- niiui) uircuuiiiiK enraged no
pulled his pistol and shot her
through the abdomen. The wounded
woman fell to the floor and crawled
into the kitchen. After some minutes,
Rushing announced to one of
his daughters who had witnessed the
tragedy that "ho would finish the
job", and commanded her to pull his
wife from the kitchen. When she
refused he forced her at tho point of
the pistol to obey and then cruelly
beat his helpless wife with a large
stick. The woman loved for Several
hours and told her story to the deputy
who arrested her husband, ltushlng's
trial and conviction followed
immediately.
Since his arrival at the Penitentiary
he has professed to believe himself
saved and stated on several occasions
that he felt no fears about his
salvation. Although he appeared unnerved
when seen privately in his
cell Friday morning, he steeled himself
for his execution and met death
with cold stoicism.

SCHOOL OF SHARKS
FOLLOW EIGHT PEOPLE IN OPEN
BOAT AT SEA.
SWAM ALL AROUND THEM
Forced to Abandon Their Kehooner
When It Itecanie Waterlogged in a
(><>ale, One Woman ami Seven Men
Drifted for Twenty-four Hours Dofore
They Were Rescued.
The New York World says one
woman and seven men, survivors of
the abandoned schooner "1/ottie it.
Russell", were brought in that port
Thursday by the oil tanker Georgian
Prince, after having drifted for twenty-four
hours in a small open boat
Rurrrounded by a school of sharks.
The woman is the wife of First 'Mate
Van Zant and tho men were Capt. J.
C. James and his crew.
The "oLttlo It. Russell" sailed
from Charleston, S. C., last Friday
week ago for Philadelphia. On Saturday
morning following she was hit
by a terrific gale. The little schooner
sprang a leak and soon became
waterlogged. All hands were sent
to the pumps, which were worked
continuously until two o'clock the
next Sunday afternoon when it was
found that more water poured in
through the leak than could be
pumped out, and it was decided to
abandon tho ship.
During this time the crew and the
mate's wife lived on a few pieces of
brine-soaked bread, as nearly all of j
the provisions had been swept over- ,
board. There was left only a small
quantity of canned peaches. Those!
were put in tho open boat, which
nearly capsized as Mrs. Van Zant
and tho seven men climbed in, abandoning
the cshooner seventy miles
off Cape Henry.
All afternoon the frail craft was
tossed about by the waves. There
was no fresh water, hut the terrors
of thirst were partially averted by
the woman and men wetting their
lips with the juice of the peaches.
Hut before night fell a new horror
was added by the appearance of a
school of sharks. aLrge razir-liko
line (lashed through the water on all
sides, and the occupants of the boat
fully realized what would be their
fate if a larger wave than usual
keeled them over.
Then darkness came on, shutting
off all hope of being seen by a passing
vessel, and all that night the
sharks trailed the little boat, disappearing
for a time and then returning
in seemingly greater numbers.
The men tried to joke about
them so Mrs. Van Zant would not be
frightened, but their fear was so
great that their jokes fell flat. When
exhausted by the ceaseless pulling at
tho oars Mrs. Van Zant sang hymns
to spur them on to greater efforts.
Monday morning showed tho
sharks still at hand, but the fury of
the storm had lessened, and there
was still enough of the peach juice
left to ward off temporarily the tortures
of thirst. No ship had yet been
Bigniea, and eariy Monday afternoon
the party had all hut given up hope
when a thin line of Hinoko was seen
on the horizon to the south. After
an Interminable length of time the
thin line became a smudge, and the
hull of a steamer became visible to
' the anxious survivors.
Capt. James stood up in the stern
of the boat and, at. tho risk of upsetting
it, waver his coat as a signal
of distress. Finally the steamer blew
her siren to show that she would
change her cvourse. As she drew
nearer it was seen that the rescuing
vessel was tho "Georgian Prince",
and within a short time she drew
alongside of took the seven men and
women on hoard.
