Toxic lnfianed at Failure of France
to Enforce Neutrality
By Associated Press.
LONDON, May Especial dispatches
from Toxic to the London morning
newspapers represent that the Japan
ese feeling is becoming highly inflamed
at Frances alleged failure to prevent
ostentatious disregard for the princi-
pies of neutrality by the Russian Pa
cific squadron. The Toxic eAsahi
bluntly describes the French assur-
| ances that they would preserve neu-
trality as falsehoods and declares that
Japan would be justified in lombard
ing French territory and calls upon
the government to take vigorous
action.
Among Japanese officials in London
it is assumed that France put off Japan
by fair promises in order to give Ro-
jestvensky time to effect a juncture
with his forces and that the Russians
are now given every privilege provided
they keep just outside the three mile
limit
The report from Tsintau that the
Russian squadron is off Vanfong,
which is an inlet containing the port
of Honkohe, the Three Kings being
rocks near the entrance of Vanfong
bay, is held to confirm the Japanese
assertion that Rojestvensky is still
cruising in French waters.

Special TO The Herald.
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Admiral
Dewey, who some time ago was quoted
as saying he believed the Russians
would win the forthcoming naval bat
tie with the Japanese simply because
they had more and better battleships.
declares that he never made such a
statement
He calls attention to the fact that 1t
would be breach of etiquette for him
to express a public opinion on the sub
ject. To his friends, however, he talks
freely and his private opinion is that
Togo will smash Rojestvensky when
ever the latter approaches near enough
the japanese base to make the battle
worth while and final.
1t is explained that some of Admiral
Deweys friends gained the impression
that he believed the Russians would
win because of their lead in battle
ships.
Admiral Dewey is firm believer in
battleships, but he says other things
are vitality essential to the success Of
even the best line of battleships. These
include personnel, gunnery and sea-
manship. Herein he believes lies the
great difference between the Russian
and Japanese crews.

bay today. The torpedo boat destroyer
Paul Jones, at anchor off Stewart
street, dragged her anchors and coi-
lided with the cruiser Marblehead
staving in a plate of the Paul Jones
and running one of her lifeboats.
The schooner Ruby, although she had
two anchors out, was carried by the
gale down the bay from her position
off Harrison street, and it was neces-
sary for the Marblehead to shift her
anchorage to avoid being struck by the
schooner.
The big collier Eureka, lying on the
north side of Folsom street wharf,
parted her stern lines and was carried
by the high sea across the stern of the
army tugboat Gen. Miflin. The Mifln
was damaged to the extent of perhaps
$4,000. The stern of the Eureka was
damaged to the extent of several hun
dred dollars.
The river steamer Alviso, at Harrison
street wharf, was buffeted about by the
rough seas and in her lurching lost her
smokestack, besides smashing her fam
tail and all the guard rail from stem to
stern, the damage amounting to about
$1,000.

STEAMER SINKS,
ONE LIFE LOST
ARKANSAS C0LLIDES WITH Al
BARGE AND GOES DOWN
WRECK OCCURS ON ATLANTIC
Woman Passenger Is DroWned-Sixty-
five Survivors Reach Vineyard
Haven, Massachusetts,, In
Ships Boats

f5y 'Kssociated. Press.z, rsspsasssaFvaas- ,s. ~
VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, May
The steamer Aransas, Capt. Rood, OF
the Joy line, was sunk in collision
southeast Of Pollock Rip lightship to-
night. One life was lost, that Of a
woman passenger
The survivors, sixty-five in number,
reached this port in lifeboats of the
steamer. The Aransas sank almost i'm
mediately after the collision, but it is
said that the tow kept on.
The Aransas was an ocean passen-
ger steamer, running between New
York and Boston. She was of 1156
gross and 67S net tonnage. The Aran-
sas was bound from Boston to New
York.
Early arrivals in the steamers boats
could give no information as to the
cause of the collision. 1t is believed
here that it was due to fog, as there
has been much thick weather off the
coast recently. The survivors state
that when the crash came the boats
were promptly ordered manned and the
suddenly awakened passengers were
hurried into them almost before they
realized that an accident had occurred.
All went over the side of the sinking
craft with the exception of one wo-
man passenger who went down with
the steiner. There was no wind at the
time and the sea was calm. The jour-
ney to shore was made without acci-
dent.
The barge Glendower was a convert
ed schooner of S55 tons. She carried a
crew of three men and was bound from
Philadelphia loaded with coal for an
eastern port.
The Aransas formerly was owned by
the Southern Pacific railway company
For many years she was employed
in service out of New Orleans run
ming from that port to Havana and
also between New York and New
Orleans.

PROPOSE HIGH
LICENSE ISSUE
REPORT THAT SALOON MEN
ARE MAKING OFFER
ANTI-SALOON WON'T AGREE
Said That Many Prominent Business
Men Favor Plan to Increase
Liquor Tax to $25oo a
Year
ANTI-SAL0ON WON'T AGREE

The Royal Arch" representing tht
Los Angeles, has weakened sufficiently
to propose a compromise issue to the
anti-saloon "bosses," according to
statements made yesterday by those
interested in the success of the mo-
saloon" crusade.
This information is to the effect that
the managers of the Anti-Saloon league
were approached by representatives OF
the liquor dealers with proposition
to formulate a compromise issue. Who
the representatives of the liquor men
were is kept a secret, and it is quite
possible that the hackers of the mo
saloon" movement intended to keep
the entire proposition to themselves.
1t is understood that the saloon rep
resentatives asked that a high license
| la wbe passed, or put before the people,
with number of restrictions attached
which should make the saloon a more
acceptable neighbor.
All such propositions proposed to the
anti-saloon leaders were turned down
promptly and decisively, it is reported.
For some time a movement has been
under way to get high license issue
put on the ballot with the anti-saloon
leagues ordinance prohibiting the sale
of liquor at retail entirely, but the ef-
fort has failed. Councilmen were ap-
preached upon the subject and wires
were pulled to make them put such an
ordinance on the ballot, but they unani-
mously declared that it was the will
of the people that no such mixing of
issues should be INDUCED in and the
effort failed.
Business Men interested
This movement for high license
rather than no salons has the backing
of many of the most prominent men in
the city, who declare it to be the best
means for regulating the liquor traffic.
The proposition for compromise, it
is understood, contained provisions
which SHOULD make the saloons in Los
Angeles operate largely upon the
Gotherburg plan, which has been so
successful in different parts of Europe.
Aside from this the saloons were will
ing to pay a license of $2500 per year,
which would mean a revenue to the
city of 100000, or nearly three times
that which is now received from this
source.
No compromise is the slogan adopted
by the Anti-Saloon league and its sup
porters, and the plain question, saloons
or no saloons, Will be asked of the
voters of the city on the day Of the
election.

CHICAGO, May This week will
either bring an end to the teamsters'
trial upheavals in the history of the
city.
The present trouble which has lasted
for two weeks has reached a point
where the business men involved ap-
pear to have gained decided advan-
tage and the teamsters appear now to
be in a position where they must either
yield or decide to extend the strike by
calling out thousands of other work.
men, engaged in affiliated unions. This
the strike leaders up to the present
time have refrained from doing, while
day made preparations which if car
ried out successfully tomorrow will in
dicate that the teamsters will be COM
PEELED to surrender or call on the othel
unions for assistance.
The Chicago Federation of Labor, the
central body of all the unions in the
city, met today but took no action
looking to an extension of the trouble.
A great deal of incendiary talk was in
dulged in but nothing definite with the
exception of the passing of resolutions
charging the Employers association
with conspiracy and asking that States
Attorney Healy start an investigation
of their business methods was decided
upon.
Arrangements have been made by
every business firm involved in the
trouble to at least double their force
of non-union workers tomorrow.
Wagons to Be Strongly Guarded
Tonight it was said that all prepara-
tions had been made to start out one
thousand wagons tomorrow morning,
manned by non-union men. Each of
these wagons will be guarded by depu-
ties or policemen and each one of these
men has received explicit Instructions
to prevent disturbances of any kind.
If peaceful means fail the deputies and
policemen have been instructed to use
their revolvers and use them to kill.
Today the seven express companies
made deliveries in all parts of the city.
Each of the wagons carried two armed
guards and in not a single instance, it
was asserted tonight, had any of the
wagons met with opposition.
During the day several of the firms
involved in the strike succeeded in
replenishing their coal supply, which
in many cases had dwindled down TO
nearly nothing. All these coal wagons
were driven by non-union teamsters,
but no opposition was met with on the
part of the strikers and their friends.
This lack of opposition is pointed out
as an indication that the strikers are
losing heart and are about ready to

President Roosevelt, wielder of the
big stick, chief of the Anti-race Suicide
tribe and honorary president of the
Associated Mothers club, has been in
Colorado only a few weeks but his en-
thusiasm on his pet hobby is so con-
tagious that the city council of Denver
is to consider an ordinance which shall
the barbarian fiat owner.
Denver is getting in line with Los
Angeles, for the announcement of the
drawing of this ordinance comes the
made by The Herald of such an or
dinance being prepared here. The local
legislators did not have the personal
presence of President Roosevelt to
work up their enthusiasm, however,
and deserve more credit than the Den
yer council. Another thing. in Denver
the women vote and the legislators are
forced to consider the mothers as well
as the fathers.
With the supreme honorary president
of the Mothers club in their midst it
is small wonder that the women OF
Colorado, or more particularly Denver,
began pulling the wires, with gentle
hints that hair would be used instead
if the law was not passed.
The other thing which may have in
huenced such action is this: President
Roosevelt has been reducing the ursine
population of the state in question to
make room for more young Americans.
He may have succeeded to such an ex-
tent that the lawmakers of the land
desire to populate the district reclaimed
by his ability with knife and gun.
Los Angeles, Denver and Chicago are.
now in line. Who knows where the
will end? 1t behooves owners
of flats and apartment houses to crawl
into their holes and lie low until the
mighty hunter, big chief of the anti
race suiciders has passed by.

Flames Spread Rapidly

From the fruit store the flames
made their way towards the Echo
lodging house. quickly enveloping that
place in smoke, and then on toward
the Pierce Motor company, whose
garage is located at the corner of Sew
enth and Main streets. All of the
houses were of wooden frame and the
smoke was so thick as to make it
practically impossible for the firemen
to enter the buildings.
Mrs. Mary A. Bagge, propretress of
the Echo lodging house, was unable
to give the name of the dead man
when she was told of his fate. She
stated that he had only moved into her
house last night and that the hotel
register had been burned -in- the fire.
1t was rumored in the crowd that
assembled that his name was Edwards
and plumber by occupation, 25 years
of age, but nobody made any attempt
to identify him as such.
When the dead mans clothes were
searched they were found to contain
only one envelope, upon which was
printed the letter head of the Salt Lake
Railroad company. The envelope,
which was addressed in pencil, was
written to M. w. Kellaway, and the
police are inclined to believe that that
was his name.
The total loss caused by the fire
amounts to about $4,000, all of the build
ings being old and of cheap structure.
