While Martha Worthington
T«stifies.

the case of the government
against Diggs was resumed to

anxious to hear all the scandal
connected with the case, had tak

Trebly faith Japan, Say
Russian Diplomats.
■
St. Petersburg, Aug. 13—it is'
believed here among diplomats,
who are in close touch with the
doings in the Japanese diplomat
ic circles, that the mission ol'
General Diaz, is for the purpose
■of negotiating a new immigration
treaty and that Japan does not;
need nor desire such a treaty, as
the government is sincerely de
sirous of directing immigrants to
China, Korea and Fosmosa, sa
that Japanese influence in those
countries will become greater.
The announcemet of the Jap
aese foreign olliee that Diaz
would not be received, caused no
surprise here.

GOING SKYWARD
English Government Experts Find
An Increase of Ten Per Cent
in Seven Years.
London, Aug. 13l—The Eng

made a careful examination of
the cost of living and report that
in the past seven years the cost

are thrown away each day or is
lost or rotted before its arrival at

The best constitutional lawyers
of hoth parties stale that Attor
ney (tenoral McReynolds is cor
rect in his opinion and are almost
certain that (he majority party
cannot secure enough voles to
seal Clayton.
The I7lh amendment provides
that vacancies In the Senate shall
he tilled as are vacancies in the
Jllouse, by a special elect inn, cal
led by the governor. Tile vacan
cies in the Senate were formerly
tilled by recess appointments,
made by the governor.
