They dismount in the timber and picket
their horses, then follow on foot the

While the corporal and the scout pro-
coed to the wagon fly and tumble at the

" little distance in their rear, and the

stir, as though their light slumber had

And the tall figure faces promptly to-

track, has arranged to resume Its thor.
oughbred racing. which was interfered

legislative action in the direction of a

be made to conduct a meeting without

and privileges.
Because of great demand for racing.
it is believed that the attendance will lore

Over 300 good horses are now stabbed at
the track. The management has hopes to
be able to secure such patronage as will
warrant the running of the $25, 600 Ma
tional Derby and other stake events ar
ranged last winter, and which have never
been declared off. The jealousy existing
between the local tracks and that at Roby

Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald Investigating

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 7.-Labor
commissioner Fitzgerald has gathered a
good deal of data for his memorial to
congress upon Japanese immigration.
Among other things he has learned that
the orIentals are going into shipbuilding,
and that they can construct vessels at S.
per ton less than the ruling rate. Be-
sides they can handle cargo at $3.50 per
ton cheaper than it can be doEe by white
labor.
He has also file of newspaper clippings
from New South Wales. where they are
holding meetings to take action upon the
same question that the commissioner is
looking into. In Sydney Japanese
buyer recently purchased 10000 sides of
leather, which was shipped to Japan to
be made into Shoes to be later returned
to com pete with the home product.

A man who signs himself American

safety matches IN boxes at 5 cents per
dozen. and asks how the American la
borer can compete at those prices.
From figures collected Mr.. Fitzgerald
has also learned that the number OF Jap.

the total mum ber from all other parts OF
the world. These facts are being suitably
prepared and Mr.. Fitzgerald thinks he
will present an array Of facts that con-

APPEAL FROM JUDGE ROSS
Interested B0ndhOlders Meet to Raise
Fund
To Be Used to Carry the Case In Question
Before the Supreme
Court

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. An appeal
is to be taken from the decision OF Judge
Ross declaring the Wright irrigation act
unconstitutional and the bonds issued
under it Invalid. A start toward creating
fund for this purpose was made today
at a meeting of bondholders held in the
Merchants club. About 81. $50, 600 of the
$4,000, 900 sold were represented and an
agreement was singed by all present as
sessing themselves one-half of per cent
if the absentees would do likewise to
raise the money to carry the matter to
Washington. The amount subscribed was
$1,000. In addition, letters were read from
bondholders residing outside of San Fran
cisco representing $500. 600, so tt at the as
sessment on 50, 600, 600 is assured. Unless
the holders of the remaining $4,000, 700,
however. are willing to do their shere
says Daniel Meyer, the matter will not be
prosecuted. A large number of the bonds,
probably $1,000 600, worth, are held
abroad. Whether or not they can be
counted on to take part in the legal fight
is questionable, but all of the bondholders
in California and the United States will
be communicated with, and if they are OF
like mind with those who attended to-
days meeting a sufficient sum will be
raised to carry the Wright irrigation law
to the high court.
At the meeting representatives we're
present from the Turlock, Poso and Gen.
tral irrigation districts, as we'll as from
this city. Daniel Meyer represented the
German ana Swiss bondholders. while
Thomas Carter Of Carter Brothers. G. F.
Mccarthy and John McMulIin took
prominent part in the proceedings.
Speeches were made by Judge McEwen,
Richard 7. Gorrill, Mr.. McMullin and
Daniel Meyre. They all recon mended
the appeal of the case as the only hope
of salvation for the bondholders, but
they all declared that the burden of the
cost must not be left on few; but that
the entire body of bondholders should do
their part. Perfect unanimity prevailed
and all present signed the assessment
agreement. An executive committee and
officers we're elected as follows
President, Richard T. Gorrill: secre-
tary, Charles f. Mccarthy; treasurer,
Daniel Meyer; ]. McMullin, l.. P. Drex-
Ter. Thomas Carter and l. ". Goldamn of
Tulare. This committee will meet tomor.
row afternoon and take action looking to
communication with the bondholders
with the object of obtaining their SUBJ
scriptions to an appeal fund.

all over the country have been on the oui

events OF the newly organized Pacific
Coast Jockey club that is to hold it's ini-

Fourteen staku events have been pre-.

richest event is the Spreckels stake, worth
$4,000 in all. The distance for this stake
is four miles. The next most valuable
stake is the Ormonde stake, over three
miles of territory, the guaranteed value
of which is $4,000. The most money is
offered for long distance racing in every
instance, which fact will be certainly ap-
preciated by all admirers of stamina in

The two-year .olds have been we'll pro-
