IF HE STAYS NEGOTIATIONS
END.
The Newspapers of the Kaiser's Cap
ital Take Rather a High Tone
in Discussing the
Matter.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON. March 25.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Morning Post says:
Il am informed that Germany regards
the withdrawal of Chief Justice Cham
bers from Samoa as imperative, ana
that refusal on the part OF the United
States to call him home would be eQu1-
valent to the abandonment of negotia-
tions concerning Samoa
The Berlin correspondent Of the Daily
News says: II learn from a well-in-
formed official that Germany is desir-
Gus of an amicable understanding on
the Samoan question. The Government
does not altogether approve the Ger
man petition from Samoa, and certainly
did not inspire its protests. However,
the Government is determined not to
allow German rights to be. encroached
on. 1t will abide by the treaty, taking
no initiative for its alteration or abro-,
cation"
BERLIN, March 24.-The newspapers
here aggressively discuss the Samoan
question and a portion of the press
maintains that Germany must ade-
quately protect German interests there.
The semi-official Post. referring to
Germany's proposal to recall all the
tripartite representatives in Samoa,
says: This is the Wisest thing all
around. as then new arrangements
would be much easier for all concerned
and it does not involve the humiliation
of anybody"
The Lokal Anzeiger Boesen Courier
and Cologne Gazette express amaze
ment that neither America nor Great
Britain is willing to show good will
toward Germany in the matter.

GAGE Is ROASTED
BY ORGANIZED LABOR
RUMoR THAT He PoCKETED A
BILL CAUSES TROUBLE.
Labor Council Discusses Topics of In
terest-Settlemen of Bill Post
ers' Strike Expected.

Governor Gage was roundly roasted at
the meeting of the San Francisco Labor
Council last night Nothing was directly
developed to justify the roast; 1t was a
matter Of insinuation and supposition.
The Pacific Coast Waters Association
had a bill introduced at the last session
of the Legislature which would practi-
caIlv do away with employment agencies,
or at least relieve them of some features
which workingmen have long considered
Objectionable. The bill was passed and
is now in the hands of the Governor. At
the meeting of the Labor Council last
night Edward r. Moss, president of the
Walters Association, was given the
privilege of the floor and made the fol-
lowing statement:
LAS you all know, there was one bill
which was indorsed by organized labor
everywhere and in which my union was
particularly interested. 1 speak OF the
employment agency bill. Senator Ashe
and Assemblyman Lundquist made no.
BILE fight for it and 1t is now in the Gov
ernor's hands. We have been informed
that he intends to pocket the bill. He
was interviewed on this measure several
times before election, and while he would
not commit himself. gave US to under
stand that he was favorable to it. Now
he positively refuses US an audience. Our
committee has attempted to see him sew
finally sent a messenger to his room and
the only response was a burst OF indig-
nation because we had ascertained what
room he was stopping in.
I'VE object to such treatment and pro-
pose holding a mass meeting in Metropol-
ftan Temple, at which we will ex-
press our Indignation. Gage has compro-
missed his party chiefly, perhaps, because
Dan Burns has collar around his neck,
but we will hold the party responsible.
Gentlemen, l hope you will cooperate
with us in this movement"
Members of the council spoke after Mr.
Moss, and the general sentiment was ia
Vorable toward holding. a mass meeting to
condemn the Governor in case he fails to
sign the bill.
At the same meeting the cigarmakers
reported that the Treasury Department
had reversed it's former decision regard
ing leaf tobacco and that leaf tobacco
could now be purchased in any desirable
quantity. Progress was also reported on
the fight for the blue label.
The law and legislative committee re-
ported that the eight-hour bill was now
in the hands of the Governor and the
prospects are that he will sign It.
The committee on the bill posters
strike reported progressively. The non
union foreman has promised to join the
union, and when he does the strike will,
in all probability, be declared off.

All day long, with weeping and wailing,
the people thronged to pay their respects

so the department was obliged TO fall
back upon its own resources. First q
warship, the Machias, was sent TO
Puerto Cortez, the nearest port to the
scene of the killing, and Commander
Logan made as thorough an investlga-
ton as could be had at that point. His
report indicated that the killing had

there were some matters of detail TO be
developed and to that end United

called upon to supplement the inVestl-
cation. He was obliged to make long
journey on horseback, across an almost
Irackless country. SO that his report has
been greatly delayed.
The document, however, has reached
the State Department and it was to-

The new Mexican ambassador, .Senor
Don Manuel AzDirez, who succeeds the
late Senior Romero, arrived in Wash

the first representative of Mexico to

The new Embassador was seen at the

that your papers reproduce Mexican

But this press comment is purely un-

Of the Government Mr.. Rhodes is an
interesting character and the papers

opinion of any private individual and
receives no serious attention beyond
that. Throughout Mexico the press
and public are sincerely friendly to the
great republic to our north.
The ambassadors attention was
called to the statements of Correo
Espanol, published at Mexico City, in
reference TO American depravity in
Cuba.
That is a Spanish paper" said he,

those of the Spanish element. Under
our liberal laws, giving freedom of
speech and freedom of the press, con-

But no significance should be attached
to the utterances simply because they
are made in Mexico City. Only
small element of our people are pro-

treat such matters with Indifference
and regard the United States as their
