Toxic and London to
Make One Final
Protest.
Should It Go Unheeded, the
Mlkado Will Submit an
Ultimatum.

LONDON, Sept. 14.-Japan and Great
Britain have exchanged views on the lat
est demands made by Russia on China
and decided to protest separately to the
Peking government against their accept
ance- In case this should prove fruitless
and Russia continue her occupation of
Manchuria, Japan proposes to break off
the negotiations with Russia for a defini-
ton Of their respective rights in Manchu-
ria and Korea, and to demand of the St
Petersburg government that it order the
evacuation Of Chinese territory.

the evacuation" said the Japanese

lie sentiment in Japan is deeply stirred by
Russia's failure to carry out her promises
to evacuate Manchuria and demands the
withdrawal of her troops on the date fixed
a year ago"

ARMENIAN MAFIA ORDERS
TWO CoWARDLY MURDERS
Victims in Both Instances Are As
sassinated in the Presence of
MANY People

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 14.-An ortho-
dox architect, Vassilov, was stabbed TO
death on the streets Of Alexander. Trans
Caucasia, on September 6. The murderer
escaped. The Novoe Vremya's corre-
spondent at Ervian, Trans-Caucasia, says
the murder was one of a series of assassi-
nations committed by the Armenian Malta
and adds that Vassilov had been black
listed.
The correspondent further recounts an
other recent brutal attempt at the Alex
andropol railroad station in the presence
OF a crowd of people. In this case also
the murderer easily made good his
escape.
Judicial Investigations of the many
cases show, it is asserted, that 80 per cent
Of the recent Armenian murders were the
work Of Armenians who migrated from
Turkey and that the others were simply
the crimes of paid assassins.
The Journal Kvakas reports that Sc
rfous disturbances occurred at Tifiis,
Trans-Caucasia, at midday Sunday, arising
from the reading TO a crowd of 1000 per-
sons assembled outside the Cathedral OF
proclamations in the Armenian langua ge
The mob attacked the policemen with
stones and revolvers. The gendarmerie
went TO the rescue of the police and a
fight ensued in which the gendarmes fired
their revolvers. Finally & detachment OF
Cossacks dispersed the rioters, several OF
whom were wounded.

TRUSTEES WILL
HAVE SUPPORT
-Alamedans Issue a Call
for Another Mass
Meeting.

ALAMEDA, Sept. 14.-Fearing that the
good name of the city and its inhabitants
is suffering abroad because of the ha-
rangue delivered at the Board of Trade
meeting Friday night, when one speaker
advised that the City Trustees be given
tar, feathers and rope treatment, owing to
their attitude on the local railroad fran
chises, the conservative element among
the residents is aroused and will from
this on make itself felt until the agita-
ton that has disturbed Alameda for three
months is satisfactorily settled. With that
purpose in view the following call for a
mass meeting of citizens Was issued to-
day:
AS matters of vital Importance to every tax
payer and citizen Of Alameda regarding the
ferry and railroad facilities OF the city, and
the question OF the renewal of the franchises
and action, we, the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers t Of this city do hereby call gen
portant subjects, said meeting to be held in
the old library room in the City Hall the even
ing of September 16, 1908. at o'clock. F. W.
burgh, 2625 Central avenue; F. Boehmer, 2310
coin avenue; Henry Michaels, 1887 Central ave
nue.: G G.. Volberg, 645 Santa Clara avenue
]. E. Baker, 2507 Central avenue; D. w. Mar
tin. 1247 Park avenue
All of the signers of the call are we'll
ests, which they consider are being endan-
gered by an agitation which may result
in Gripping the transportation facilities of
Alameda. Van Sicklen is a large property
holder, Vosburgh is pioneer merchant OF
Park street, Boehmer is retired busi-
ness man and the owner of considerable
realty, Knowland is director of the
Bank of Alameda and the owner of mucn
real estate, Michaels is an old resident
and property holder. Volberg is a retired
merchant and director In a local build
ing and loan association. Baker is the
cashier of the Bank of Alameda and Mar
tin is an ex-Supervisor and business man
with considerable property in this city.
The men who have issued the call for the
mass meeting announce that it is not their
intention to tell the City Trustees what
to do, but to assure the municipal legis-
lators of their honest and loyal support
of whatever the officials may see fit to
do with the franchises for the good of
Ala.n eda.

ONFESSES PART
IN BURGLARIES
@. A. Rutherford Admits
He Stole From
Freight Cars.

After severe sweating by the police
c. A. Rutherford, the Southern Pacific
brakeman charged with looting freight
cars at Salinas, the story Of which was
published first by The Call last Sunday
confessed guilt last night and at the
same time implicated w. H Daughertv
Frank Carey and c. V. Graves as being
partners in the thefts.
Graves is a marine fireman and Daush-
erty was the man who rented a house on
the CaStroville road about a mile from
Salinas, wherein, it is claimed, some of
the stolen property was placed after be-
ing taken from the cars.
Graves is now in the City and Countv
Hospital, this city, having, 1t is claimed
injured his thumb while jumping from
one Of the freight cars, after having been
engaged in stealing some of the mer-
chandlse the loss of which has formed
part of the basis of the charges.
1t is intended to prosecute the case with
the greatest vigor. The goods that have
been stolen from cars have not onlv been
the means of causing the greatest incon-
venience to shippers and buyers. but the
monetary loss, it is said, has been very
great.
When Daugherty was arrested last
Thursday he made a written Confession
in which he implicated Rutherford.
Graves and Carey. The admission of
guilt made last night by Rutherford will
strengthen the case of the prosecution.

CHILD'S LIFE is CRUSHED
OUT BENEATH TRUCK WHEELS
Three-Year-old Joseph Allen Meets
Tragic Death on Point
Lobos Avenue.

While attempting to jump on a heavily
laden truck last evening Joseph Allen. the
three-year-old son of Mrs. Kate Allen Of
107 Collins street, was crushed to death
beneath the wheels. The truck, drawn
by six horses driven by Banford Howard
was coming down Point Lobos avenue
and owing to the fact that heavy piece
of machinery was carried moved very
slowly. When near Collins street the
baby who was playing in the road ran
to the truck and attempted to Jump on
the side He slipped and fell directly in
front of the rear wheel, which passed over
the body, crushing it in a frightful man
ner. Entirely oblivious of the fact that
he had run over and killed the child How
ard continued on his way, and the first
intimation he had of the tragedy was
when some citizen Informed him several
blocks from the scene. He Immediately
surrendered himself and was booked at
the City Prison on a charge of man
slaughter.
Beulah Allen, an elder sister of the dead
boy, was a witness of the dreadful af-
fair and Immediately summoned assist
ance. The mangled and bleeding form
was carried to the house and Dr. Petrie
summoned. An examination showed that
the child was beyond medical aid and the
Coroner was notified. The body was not
removed to the Morgue and 1t is under
stood that the grief-stricken mother is
willing to waive an inquest as she is
convinced that il is purely a case of acci-
dent.

with it have taken up a great deal of
time the routine business of the confer
ence has been dispatched with unusual
rapidity, and now little remains but the
reception of the trial committees findings
and the elecuOn Oh nVe delegates 10 the
General Conference of 1904. Immediately
upon the result Of the Hammond trial be-
ing announced balloting for these dele

wv y ASHINGTON, Sept. A. - 1t
w !: :: :: q. 2: '::: :s:
Charles Joseph Bonaparte Of
Baltimore had accepted the
invitation of Secretary Hitchcock to take
charge of the investigation Of certain In
dian Territory affairs and officials under
the jurisdiction Of the Department Of the
Interior. The scope of the investigation,
1t is said, will be sufficiently comprehen-
sive to embrace all statements within
the knowledge Of the Interior Depart
ment, including all that have appeared in
the public press and all other matters
that may at eny time come to the notice
of the investigating officials, which in any
respect reflect upon the official character,
conduct or acts Of the Dawes Commission

WHITES STAR Is SETTING.
Russia's Famed Minister of Finance
Is Shorn of Power.

PARIS, Sept. An Witte, president Of
the Russian Council of Ministers, arrived
here to-day His visit is unofficial. After
a short stay here he will proceed to Lon
don.
The belief which exists in several quar-
tiers that Whites appointment TO the pres
idency Of the council was not wholly a
promotion prevails here also. 1t is un-
derstood in the best informed quarters
here that the complications in the Man
churian affair led to Whites retirement
from the Ministry of Finance, where he
dominated the war, civil and other
branches. There is reason here to believe
that Witte lately has been unsympathetic
toward France.

District Attorney Gregory, Constable
Charles Downing and officers from BENZ
cia left Suisun at o'clock this afternoon
in a gasoline launch to carry out the in
struction.
Many murders have been committed in
the fishing camps along the Suisun Bay
during the past ten years, but owing to
thg manner in which the murderers have
been shielded by their fellow fishermen
the officers have been unable to ferret
out the guilty persons. When Sheriff Keys
became fully satisfied that young Potter
had been murdered he became determined
10 bring the murderer to justice. With
the slightest clews at the outset he
worked necessarily until he succeeded,
after travelling hundreds of miles, in cap
turing his man. The arrest of Pensacola
reflects great credit on Sheriff Keys and
District Attorney Gregory, who worked
with him on the case.
