The law of injunction framed
in the interests of corporate
power is designed to take from
the people the right of peace
fully combining for the i'm
provement of their condition.
It is this right denied them and
which is enjoyed in England
under a monarchial govern
ment far more than it is here
which causes many to think
that only by violence and rev.
olution can justice to the
masses be obtained.

The reported bluffs of Mr..
Rankin, Wednesday night, for
anybody to dispute his wild

sillv to those who knew that on
account of his previous challenge
Frank K. Foster, printer from
Boston, had been sent to meet
the "Mou1dy" orator, on the
recommendation of the FEEDER
alton officials, but that the re-
publican committee fanked for
the reason, as stated by them,
that a joint discussion would be
for the benefit of the silver men.

HOW CHINESE LAND.
Habeas Corpus Cases Increase Since
the Dismissal of Dick Williams
From the Service.


For the month of July United States
Commissioner Heacock passed on seven
Chinese habeas corpus cases, and for the
fiscal year ending June so thirty-two
celestials sought to land at this port by
process of law.
During the first month of the fiscal
year Commissioner Heacock's business
was nearly one-fourth as large as that of
the previous twelve months. This may in
reality mean nothing, but it is regarded
in customs circles as decidedly signifi-
can't. 1t is attributed by Federal officials
to the dismissal of Dick Williams and
suspension of his friend Louie Quong.
In April there was one habeas corpus
case, while May presented clean docket.
In June Comm iss;oner Heacock passed on
two cases. Williams was suspended May
IS, so it may be readily seen that the
habeas corpus business has rapidly in
creased since that time.
Of the thirty-nine cases heard during
the last thirteen months fully so per cent
have succeeded in landing. It is we'll
known fact that if Chinese has sufficient
money to institute legal proceedings to
secure his landing, his effort succeeds in
nearly every instance. 1t is an easy mat
ter to trump up evidence, and it is upon
evidence alone that the court bases an
opinion. Assistant District Attorney
Schlessinger says the fault is with the law,
which admits almost any and eyery kind
of evidence. Until that is remedied, he
says, the majority of habeas corpus cases
will continue to be nothing short of
farce

SUICIDES DURING JULY
Thirty.One Days Grewsome
Record of the City
Morgue.
More People Committed Self.Murder
Than During Any Month of the
Past Sixteen Years.

The number of suicides reported at the
Morgue during the month of July were
considerably in excess of any previous
month within the last sixteen years. In
addition to this grewsome record, July "a
enjoys the distinction of more suicides
than any other day in the history Of the
institution. In all sixty-nine cases were
reported, and of this number it was found
necessary to perform forty-one autopsles.
OF the sixty-nine cases reported at the
Norge thirty-four were found to have
committed suicide. The methods adopted
by the self-murderers, together with the
number in each case, were as follows:
Drowning ten. gas llne, poison eight, gun
shot seven; total thirty-four. The suicide
record for the first six months of the cur
rent year IS seen below January five,
February seven, March fifteen, April
twelve, May fifteen. June twenty-one.
The remainder of the sixty-nine cases,
together with the causes so far as known,
for the month of July is as follows:
Natural 10, accidents 9, murder 2, un-
known 5. OF the deaths by accident three
were traced directly to the Market-street
Railroad Company, while two met an un-
expected end at Sutro's pleasure resort.
Taken as whole, Coroner Hawkins
views the month of July as the most grew
some of his administration. While other
months have exceeded July in total num-
ber of deaths reported, none are nearly so
bad in point of suicides and murders.
The combined record for the first seven
months of the current year reads: Janu-
ary So. February go, March 66, April 76,
May 64, June 70, July 69.

THE BANKS TRIM SAILS.
In the Presence of Disturbed
Financial Conditions They
Go Slow.
Commercial Bankers Loan Only on
Current and Quick.PayiDg
Business.

A. Everett Ball, the attorney, stated
Yesterday that he had failed to secure
loan for a client on securities that have
always been regarded as substantial. The
reason assigned for the refusal to give
loan of money on a safe mortgage was
that under the present disturbed condition
of finances bankers did not wish to part
with coin as freely as in the past.
II went to commercial bank, said
Mr.. Ball, land l said: L want some
money on gilt-edged securities.
"'We are not lending money now,' the
banker told me. Until this silver ques-
ton is settled none of the banks will part
with money. None of them are loaning.'
"Then I asked him if the banks were
growing scared-if they wanted to para
lyze the business of the City. was told
that the banks did not wish to take
chances. and consequently were refusing to
loan money. On the contrary, they were
calling in many loans. OF course, no mat
ter what comes the country is not going to
smash anyhow. If a silver President is
elected his election does not mean that
the country must adopt free silver. Not
at all. The President has only the veto
power. Congress must pass upon the
question. The election is nothing more
than an announcement OF the wish of the
people, whatever that may mean"
President Lilienthal of the Anglo-Am-
erican Bank, who was mentioned by Mr..
Ball as the banker who declined to make
loan on approved security, gave more
hopeful and brighter view of the subject.
1.-THE commercial banks, said he, 'have
decided on more conservative course
than formerly in view of the financial out
look consequent on the political situation.
Still we are loaning money for business
enterprises. We are not at all taking
stand to clog the machinery, to paraiyze
commerce, but simply confning ourselves
to operations that will give returns before
the election of President takes place.
Notwithstanding the specific contract
act of this State the introduction of free
silver would affect transactions which go
outside of the State, and for that reason
there is no telling how accounts would be
settled should silver legislation prevail.
Personally l believe firmly that Mckinley
will be elected.
'There is no hesitation to loan for turn
ing of business that is quickly settled,
such as the movement in wheat and fruit
for instance, but the commercial banks
are not disposed to make loans on mort
cages or on anything on long terms. 1t
behooves them to keep themselves in such
condition as to be prepared for the worst
that might happen. Credit is gone tenn
porarily. man must have money if he
wants to build house, for bankers are
conhning themselves to transactions
within short period, that Is, to business
on which money can be collected in sixty
or ninety davs."

Annual Report of the Immigration
Commissioner of This

United States Immigration Commits
sioner Walter p. Stradley has Just
finished his annual report for the year
to the Immigration Department at once.
1t contains considerable interesting infor-
nation as to the character of the foreigners
who come to the United States through
this port. During the year there were
only 1411 immigrants arrived. Of these
1896 were male, leaving 315 females. The
law requires the ommissioner to learn
the amount of money that these arrivals
possess, so as to prevent them from be-
coming public charges and to prevent the
pauper element from landing.
Mr.. Stradley's figures show that the
AL arrivals brought with them nearly
quarter of a million dollars, or to be ex-
act, 1921 $3.50. One female was prevented
from landing and one was returned. The
occupations given show large percentage
OF professionals, 8 being cIergymen, and
skilled workmen as here seen: Profes-
sionals 49, skilled workmen 307, unskilled
and miscellaneous 635, no occupation, in
cludlng women and children, 421.
The principal countries from which the
Immigrants came and the aggregate sums
OF money brought by each race was as fol-
lows: Europe, males 439, females I46-585,
$159, ,070. OF these 42 could neither read nor
write. Central America, males 4, females
%, $730; l could not read or write.
Mexico, males 81, females TIPS, $2902.
OF these % could not read or write. Brit
ish North America, males Ia, females go,
5000. All could read and write. East
and West Indies, Pacific islands, Australia
and Asia, males 588, females 85--623, $685.
928. Only 19 could not read and write.
There were no arrivals from China. but
Japan sent over 561 persons. OF whom 38
were females, but the Japs were we'll pro-
vided with money, as their total amounted
to SAC, ,298. Australia's contribution was
only 60. and these came provided with
$14, 310.
The destinations of these Immigrants
were given as follows: North Atlantic
Division 81. South Atlantic Division l,
North Central Division 25, South Central
Division l, Western Division 1922.

A BRILLIANT DISPLAY,
Crowds Admire the New Store
of the Columbian Woolen
Mills.
A Progressive House That Has Made
Rapid Strides Since Its
Foundation.

The past two evenings passers-by on
Market street, at the junction of Eddy and
Powell, have had their attention attracted
the building at the northwest corner of
Powell and Eddy streets. 1t is indeed a
brilliant display and is typical of the en-
terprise of the house making it, the
Columbian Wooden Mills.
This house that has recently become
better known under the name of the pro-
prietors, s. N. Wood & Co., Is one of the
foremost clothing houses of this City.
They have pursued new and up-to-date
methods in their business relations with
the public, and as result the house now
occupies an enviable position in the
clothing and merchant tailoring trade in
this City.
Although their principal place of busi-
ness is and has been at 541 Market street
it is not out of the range of possibilities
that their new store will become the GEN.
ter of their already extensive and rapidly
increasing business in this City. Their
lew store is light, bright and airy, and at
night the illumination is so extensive
that it is equal fully to the brilliancy of
daylight. Massive plate-glass windows on
both street sides give the storeroom un-
equaled facilities in the matter of light,
while in the interior arrangement every
modern device has been taken advan-
tage OF.
The Columbian Wooden Mills first
started in this City about two years ago,
and since then their progressive business
methods have been such as to give them
position In the front rank in the mercan-
tile world of San Francisco.

Judge Joachimsen Explains Why He
lined Street Speaker.
Judge Joachimsen, who was censured in
resolution passed Friday night by the
San Francisco Labor Council for having
fined Mark Letter, socialist street
speaker, for obstructing the streets, when
shown a copy of the resolutions in yester-
days CALL, was at loss to account for the
councils action.
1.-The man." explained the Judge yester-
day, twas arrested for having obstructed
the streets in violation of an ordinance of
the City and County, and acting in my
judicial capacity / had to punish the vio-
lation. The minimum fine, however, was
imposed.
81 have no fault to find with the opin-
ions or doctrines expressed by the speaker.
As an American citizen he had perfect
right to believe as he chose and promul-
gate his opinions in proper manner.
But In this case an ordinance was vio-
lated and it was my duty to punish the
offense.
st was said that the Salvation Army
had been holding meeting unmolested at
the same spot where Letter was speaking.
But the Salvation Army had permit
from the Chief of Police, and If the people
who held this meeting had obtained per-
nit they would not have been disturbed.
Ii they had applied to the Chief and the
purposes of their meeting were legal they
could have secured the necessary permit
beyond the peradventure OF doubt.
