that the Council was asked to pass only
legitimate claims, and that he saw no
reason why such bills were not paid.
Chairman Prindle cautioned moder-
alton and the use Of persuasion. He
suggested that a committee be Sc
lected to wait on the Mayor and Coun-
Gil and urge them to pass all proper
claims.
I. c. Hogan of Popp & Hogan,
printers, said it might be we'll to await
the action of the Council, which was
then in executive session, before any
extreme measures were taken. He
favored the suggestion of the chair
man.
Mcneil moved the appointment of a
committee of five, including the chair
man, to wait on the Council this even
ing and make an urgent appeal to al
low all honest claims. The chairman
appointed A. B. Mcneil, ]. B. Minor,

KILLING OF TWO AMERICAN
TABS BY THE JAPANESE.
Very Disagreeabie Incidents Are Now Being
Investigated BY the State De-
Durtme1t

WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-The De-
partment of State has undertaken an
investigation Of two very disagreea-
bic incidents that may contain in
themselves the germs of serious trou-
BILE in the near future. They are the
killing by japanese of two sailors at
tached to the United States fleet on
the Asiatic station. The exact condi-
tions under which the killing occurred
are not known here yet, and the State
Department is trying to learn details
through the United States Minister at
Toxic and the United States Consuls
in Japan, preliminary to determining
what steps shall be taken to secure
reparation, if it shall be found that
the killing was, as is expected, unjus-
tifiable. The first killing was of a
sailor named Montgomery, formerly
attached to the Yorktown, while she
was on the Asiatic station, and the
last was that of Frank Epps, a sailor
native of New York, and an appren-
tice on the flagship Olympia. He was
killed at Nagasaki. The officials here
have been advised of the bare facts
only, but following so closely on the
terrible assault at Kobe last Septem-
Der of a Japanese mob upon the sailors
of the Yorktown, these killings have
aroused them to a determination to Sc
cure protection for our sailors in Jap
aneSe ports.

Special Dispatch TO The Call.
FRESNO, Dec. 22.-Jeremiah De-
nomme was to-day found guilty by a
jury in the Superior court of man
slaughter. He will be sentenced on
Monday. In October the prisoner killed
Chris Molbeck in a notorious saloon
across the track by pounding him over
the heart and rupturing the vital or
gan. Molbeck, who was from the coun-
try, had been drinking during the day
and finally drifted into the saloon. He
made some offensive remark to De-
nomme, whereupon the excitable fell
low caught him by the throat with his
left hand, and, showing his victim
against the wall, with his right dealt
him several vicious blows over the
heart. Molbeck was reridered insensi-
bic and was placed in a chair, in which
he was hauled into a back room. Later
in the night he was found dead there.
An autopsy revealed the fact that the
heart of the deceased was ruptured.
AT the first trial of DenQmme, about
a. month ago, the jury stood nine for
conviction and three for acquittal.

schemes. They are doubly alarmed
lest this escapade should be published
and an inquiry be directed from
Washington as to the exercise of his
diplomatic powers by the representa-
tive of one friendly power to another
With such proceedings going on here
it is naturally asked with bated
breath, Are we already annexed?"
Espionage is one of the strong arms
of government whose power is not
based on the love or the will of the
| governed. We had hoped that our
Government had abandoned the sys-
tenn entirely, and they did so partially
nearly year ago, but the information
is that their fears have again COM
pelled them to resort to methods for
eign to American instincts. 1t is even
openly said that among those most
closely ''shadowed" are Damon and
Theo H. Davies owing to their as
sumed friendly relations with those of
royalist tendencies.
The situation with us, while we are
on the threshold awaiting the verdict
of Congress, is briefly condensed in the
remarks of an ex-Councilor of State
and very prominent annexationist,
who said to The Call correspondent
this morning: Il honestly believe that
the nearer annexation approaches us
the more we fear and dread the possi-
bilities of its being a failure in it's re-
suits"
| On Monday the Government fur
nished another illustration of it's good
faith to the cause of white labor by
granting the applications of a few
planters for another batch of 500 Jap
anese for the sugar plantations. Ha-
waii has expended many hundreds of
! thousands of dollars in experimenting
on the labor problem for it's staple in
! dustries, and the only lesson abso-
lutely learned and impressed upon us
is the same as in Australasia, and that
! is that there is no class of white or
European labor, except the island
| Portuguese, who can compete with the
Asiatics in the cane fields. Fitzgerald S
white laborers, if ever they come, will
learn this to their cost, and then the
wages ranging from $40 to S23 a month
and board themselves in unhealthy
barracks. 1t is not a healthy outlook
even for men who can brave the sun
in a torrid harvest field.
