JAPAN DOESN'T WANT WAR
imorILan Just Back Tells State De.
partmeit. 'Admits General ,Hostility
for United States but Few Want
Trouble.
Washington, April 24.--"Japan does
tot want war," Is the statement of a
rery lprdiinent American who has
ust talked with the state depart
nen't. "It is true that the militaty
Yarty is for the moment in the as
:endancy over here. It is also true
hat the military party in any country
nay thrust tiat country into war by
ts- appeals to 'pride and racial feeling.
"But the majority of the Japanese
lo not want war, any more than the
najority of any people iwant war.
Purther, the military party is retain
ng its hold onl power by such a very
lender majority that it may be turned
mut at any moment."
These cheering statements are sup
)lemented -and modified, however, by
uis statements as to ithe hostility that
Lii classes of Jatpanese seem to feel
or the United States. The most extra
ordinary attacks upon the United
tates, her people, and her statesmen,
lave recently, -been made in pubic
;atherings In Japan by Japanse who
Lre regarded as among the prominent
nembers of the race.'
"I do not believe that Shantung will
ver be willingly giveni up by the
apanese," said lie, "In spite of their
romises. They are planning to stay
orever, and their likin g for Shantung
s based not only on the mineral re
ources of the province, but also on
he excellent iphysique of the Shantung
ion. If Japan gere ever to gain com
lete control of the Chinese, these
rould make excellent soldiers. I (1o
Lot believe the Japanese canl, however.
'lie Chinese blood is too strong. In a
eneration the Japanese invaders
rould ,be swallowed up by their invol
ntary hosts."
It is i)ssible to give the name of
his 'gentleman. it may be said, how
ver, that a few years ago his name
ras known to every American as the
ngineer of one of the greatest pro
acts ever put through to success and
personal friend of President Roose
elt. le will return to the Orient
oon, and his public utterances maust,
herefore, he marked by extreme caul
lon. Ills comment on the personality
f Secretary of State Hughes is almost
lore interesting.
"People told me," said he, "that,
lughies is a ma" without a sense of
umor. That's I never met a
lore genial, likeL..,e, human man. lie
as the speed and nerve and control,
00, that any good American desires
o see in the holder of this responsi
Ie tpost."
'114 went on to tell an incident that
s a business man of- wide experi
nce and accustomed to great affairs
ipressed hii immensely.
"I handed to Mr. iughes a ten page
ypowritten report," lie said, "that I
iad prepared oil the situation iII the

"'Tis is a odickens of a note,' I

Atlanta, Ga., -May I.--Reports in

least three n'egrogs had been kilid to
hide alleged peonago conditions is that
of U. G. -. 'Hogan, Wealthy planter of
Laurens county, according to dis
patches received here tonight from
Dublin, Georgia.
The dispatches quoted the planter
as declaring that he knew that such
reports had been spread, that when
the investigators came to the county
lie Invited thei to come to see him
versonally, and that the deaths of the
negroes were in no wise connected
with peonage and had been "properly
handled by oflicials of the law." The
reports were spread by enemies lie
had made in busjness affairs and in
action lie and other trustees of a
church has taken, he continued.
Of the three negroes killed, lie said,
according to' the dispatches, one of
them, John Robinson was killed by
olicers of the law in resisting arrest.
The negro had shot at him, Hogan
explained. le took out a wa'rrant, he
added, and it was in resisting service
of the warrant that the negro was
killed. Another negro named 'Mincey
was killed on or near the farm some
ten years ago by a negro named Rob
ison, and "the third negro, named
Thomas, was drowned in a well. All
the cases had -been investigated, lie
said.
The Iogan plantation comprises
several thousand acres and is equip
ped 'with moderL farm machinery and
has often been described as one of the
"model" farms of Georgia.
"Look at this," 1logan was (uoted
as saying, 'pointing -across his many
acres. "Do you think I would work
for years to build up such a farm and
'then risk losing it by killing negroes?"
'I'hie pl)antation is owned by U. G.
13. Hogan and his brother, It. C. Ifo
gan, and is managed by the former.
About forty negroes are employed on
the place, which works some forty
mules and a number of tractors and
trucks.
The federal bureau of investigation
here has not yet malde any statement
regarding its investigation.
