Shanglii, China, Oct. 8 ? Secretary Taft is expected to
arrive in this city tonight and the Japanese government lias
selected fifty secret service men to surround him as lie leaves
the ship and will keep him thusx protected while he is in
public places or on the streets of Japan. This precau
tion lias been taken because it has leaked out that students
have arranged a demonstration against Secretary Taft while
in Japan. The Japanese government also consented to the
allowance of a guard of United States Secret Service men
who are accompaning the secretary, who will work with the
Japanese detectives.
EFFECT BOISE M
(By United Press.)
Baker City, Oct 8? The authorities
are today no nearer a solution of the
dynamiting of Former Sheriff Brown
than they were a week ago. All clues
so far begin and end at the scene of the
outrage. Two contentions are being
made regarding the killing'. One ia
that it is the work of the Western Fed
eration oi Miners and the other that
the gambling element are responsible
for the deed. It is said here that the
effect on the trial at Boise will be to
scare men from serving on the coming
Pettlbone jury.
