San Francisco Minister ProcIaims an
Empty Treasury With Honor
Better Than a Full Treas
ury With Shame

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.-Rev.
William RAIDER, the eloquent pastor of
the Third Congregational church, and
one of the most influential ministers in
this city, in his sermon last night de-
nounced the Standard Oil in unmeas-
ured terms and demanded that the
American board Of foreign missions re-
turn the 100000 gift of Rockefeller.
He said:
1.-THE Standard Oil stands accused,
on the records of the courts, of receiv-
ing from the railroads rebates on every
gallon of oil shipped in the United
States, with no other recompense than
the obligation on the part of the
Standard to ship certain large number
of cars of oil day.
"The court records have piled up a
list of crimes high enough to make
the nation shudder, and these include
assault and battery, assault to kill, OBJ
tanning goods under false pretenses,
arson, forgery, subornation of perjury,
breach of contract and larceny and
murder but from such society the
American board receives $100, 0,000!"
He demanded that the money be re-
turned and said: Better have the
heather wait than sacrifice national
honor. Better an empty treasury, with
honor, than a full treasury with
shame"

KAMRANH BAY A
FRENCH PORT.
VIOLATION OF NEUTRALITY
KEENLY DISCUSSED
FRENCH RESPONSE AWAITED
II II Is Claimed That the Russians
Are Not In Frances Territorial
Waters Togo May Safely
Attack Them
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
TOXIC, April 17.-It is calculated
here that the Russian squadron arrived
at Kamranh bay at noon April IL, and
therefore had been occupying the port
forty-eight hours when seen at noon
April Ia.
The Japanese government Is silent on
the subject of it's intentions, but 1t is
expected that it will make Immediate
representations to France. The re-
sponse of France Is eagerly awaited,
particularly as to whether France adj
mits the squadron is within territorial
waters.
France denied that the Russian
squadron was within territorial waters
when off Madagascar. If she denies 1t
in this instance it will give Japan an
opportunity to attack the Russian ves-
sells without violating Frances neu-
trality.

ENGLISH PAPERS TAKE
PRO.JAPANESE VIEWS

BY Associated Press
LONDON, April 17.-In the absence
of further information regarding the
position of the Russian and Japanese
fleets the London morning papers are
keenly discussing the neutrality ques-
ton, for the most part in a strong pro-
Japanese tone. The Morning Post
takes the milder view that Kamranh
bay is mere fishing port and unable
to provide coal or other supplies to the
Russian squadron, which probably took
shelter there to replenish from its own
collers, and that, though a technical
breach of neutrality has been COM
mtted, the French authorities could
hardly be held responsible unless it
can be proved that they had previous
knowledge of Rojestvensky's in
tentions.
The Daily Nails correspondent at
Singapore gives a further report from
the North German Lloyd steamer
Prinz Heinrich, that on Friday, April
IA, the Russian cruisers Dmitri Donskoi
and Rion were scouting outside the
bay, while tug was bringing colliers
alongside of warships which were coal
ing, and that many boats were trans
ferring provisions to Russian vessels.

THE AsIATIC PERIL
Scientists Predict War Will Last Two
Hundred Years
Nv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 17.-The
Novoe Vremya prints dispatch from
New York saying that "the yellow
peril" is not now derided. Far-seeing
business men with their eyes on the
Chinese markets have, according to
this dispatch, finally awakened to the
growing political influence of the Jap
anese over the Chinese, and the pros
pect of complete industrial domination
in the future.
Editorializing on the subject, the No
voc Vremya says it is no longer the
"yellow peril" which Europe and
America are now facing, and refers to
the words of French savant who,
when asked how long the war would
last replied: about two hundred
years. Europe does not seem to un-
derstand the terrible truth"
The Novoe Vremya predicts that the
"enigma of the future historian will be
the hostility of some European nations
I'm the great struggle between Japan
and Russia which renders inevitable a
conflict between Russia and Europe"
and quotes the words of the vice gov
ernor of Jerusalem on the awakening
of the Arabs in Asiatic Turkey as
showing the deep-seated hatred of Asia
toward all Europeans, and the even
tual menace to Europe from, not the
yellow. but the Asiatic peril.

NO BATTLE EXPECTED
High Russian Authority Thinks Togo
Will Stay at Home

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 17.-No
definite information is obtainable as to
the length of the squadron's stay at
Kamranh bay or whether the warships
have already sailed, the admiralty,
even If it knows, being silent on this
point.
A high admiral expressed to the AS
sociated Press today the firm convic-
ton that Admiral Togo would not give
battle near the Pescadore islands, For
mosa straits. He said: 'It would be
great tactical error to concentrate his
squadron so miles from Japan and run
the risk of having Rojestvensky slip
by, when by remaining in home waters
Rojestvensky must come to him in or
der to reach his only base-Vladivo-
stok. All the Toxic dispatches about
the proclamation of martial law in the
Pescadore islands and the probable
presence of a japanese squadron in
Formosan waters are sent as blinds"

The plan outlined in The Herald on
Sunday morning for a worlds fair to
be held in Los Angeles during the Win
ter of 19O9-1O has met with the unan-
imous approval of the city council.
The scheme originated with two of the
civic organizations in the city and was
introduced into the council yesterday.
While no organization for the pur-
pose of promoting such an eXposi-
ton has as yet been established, yet
many councilmen yesterday expressed
themselvs as favoring the move and
all showed their appreciation of its
value by voting for a resolution.
Councilman Smith said, "Other cities
of much less Importance hold these
fairs, and l do not see why Los An
geles should not. The date is placed
four wears off and in that time the
city will increase in size and import
ence greatly. I do not think 1T is all
visionary to predict that we will have
a population exceeding 25O,0OO by that
time.
1.-THE eyes of the country are upon us
and annually thousands of tourists
come this way to see Los Angeles and
the surrounding country. If such an
exposition should be held here 1 be-
lieve it would attract a greater at
tendance than has any other which has
been given under similar circum-
stances. People in the east want to
come to California and settle and 1 be-
lieve such an exposition would add
10000 to the population of the city.
'I think it would be great thing,
said Councilman Healy, Los Angeles
is already more in the public eye than
any other city of like size, or even
twice the size in the country. W.
could give an exposition and make il
different from those given in the east
"They are pretty much all alike now
but out here we could depart from
the beaten path and give something
characteristic of the west, and 1 be-
lieve it would be appreciated by tbs
people of the country"
other councilmen express them
selves as being in favor of the move
and announced their intentions of ad-
vocating that such a fair be held.

FOUR ARE KILLED OUTRIGHT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April H.
Frenzied by a false alarm Of fire sew
eral hundred eager newboys, struggling
to obtain their share of free tickets to
local theater, which were being dis
trbuted by a travelling representative
of a patent medicine company, stam-
peded in a narrow stairway in the
Masonic temple tonight, crushing tre
life out of four boys. Twenty-six other
boys were injured, nineteen of them
seriously.
Long before the time approached for
stairs of the Masonic temple were
crowded with newsboys, each anxious
to be first to receive his pass. When
the distribution began, the excitement
became more intense and the efforts
of several policemen who had been de-
tailed to prevent trouble were un-
availing.
1t is alleged that one of the news
the distribution of the tickets the
boys, in the endeavor to hasten the
exit of those who had received their
passes, shouted fire" Immediately
those at the top faced about and with
almost superhuman strength began to
force their way to the bottom of the
stairs. Shrieks and physical encoun-
ters followed for a few seconds, when
from some cause those near the top
fell headlong on the struggling mass at
the bottom.
Immediately policemen from the Gen.
trail station who responded to a riot
call began the work of rescue. Four
of the boys were dead when extricated
from their positions at the bottom of
the stairs. Others, believed to have
been fatally crushed, were taken out as
fast as they could be disentangled from
their frenzied companions, who fought
and clung to each other in desperation.
The immense crowd Of people from
the business district, attracted by wild
rumors, jostled about the. bottom of
the stairs and hampered the work of
the police and ambulance corps.

MAY NOT LIMIT
HOURS OF LABOR
FAR-REAcHlNG DECISION OF
SUPREME COURT
RIGHT OF CONTRACT DEFINED
New York state Labor Law Prescribe
ina Hours Of Labor In Bakeries
Declared to Be Uncon-
stitutional
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-In an
opinion by Justice Peckham the su-
preme court of the United States held
to be unconstitutional the New York
state law making ten hours a days
work and sixty hours a weeks work In
bakeries In that state. Justices Har-
Ian, White, Day and Holmes dissented
and Justice Harlan declared that no
more important decision had been rem
dered in the last century.
The law involved in the case Is sec
ton 110 of the New York state labor
law prescribing the hours of labor In
bakeries in the state. Lochner Is a
baker in the city of Utica and was
found guilty of permitting an employe
to work in his bakery more than sixty
hours in week and fined $50. The
Judgment was affirmed by the New
York appellate courts.
Today's opinion dealt entirely with
the constitutional question involved
Justice Peckham said that the law Is
not an act merely fixing the number
of hours which shall constitute legal
DAYS work. but an absolute prohibit
ton upon the employer permitting un-
der any circumstances more than 10
hours work to be done more than ten
ment. He continued:
1.-The employe may desire to earn the
extra money which would arise from
his working more than the prescribed
time, but the statute forbids the en-
ployer from permitting the employe
to earn it. 1t necessarily interferes
with the right of contract between the
employer and employed concerning the
number of hours in which the latter
may labor in the bakery Of the em-
ployer. The general rights to make
a contract in relation to his business
is part of the liberty of the individual
protected by the fourteenth amendment
to the federal constitution. Under
that provision no state can deprive any
person of life, liberty or property with
out due process of law. The right to
purchase or to sell labor is part of
the liberty protected by this amend
ment unless there are circumstances
which exclude the right"

CHINESE is BRUTAlLY
BEATEN BY NEGRO THUG
Celestial Half Killed by Robber-The
Thief Gets Over $500 From
His Victim

Wong Sing, a Chinese laundryman,
Oaks avenue, Pasadena, was the VIC
tim Of a brutal assault by negro foot
pad in Ferguson alley last night about
9 o'clock The highwayman used
sharp piece of heavy iron to do his
work. and the victim sustained wounds
on the head of a severe nature. The
thief secured $1O5 and a watch and
chain from his victim.
The laundryman was walking down
Ferguson alley on his way to catch a
Pasadena car when he was suddenly
accosted by the negro. Without CIV
ing his victim a chance to hold up
his hands or protect himself in any
way the footpad belabored the China
man over the head with a heavy iron.
He then searched the PROSTATE mans
pockets and took a sack containing
over $100 and a gold watch and chain.
Sing was rendered unconscious, but
recovered his senses before any assist
ance reached him. He was wandering
around Chinatown in dazed state
when one of his countrymen found
him. The injured man was taken to
the receiving hospital.
The doctors who attended Wong Sing
say that had it not been for his hat
acting as a protector the Chinaman
would surely have been killed.
All through the operation Sing bore
the thrusts of the doctors needle with
out murmur. An anaesthetic was Of
fered, but the nervy oriental said he
did not need it.

ASKS BONDS FOR
CITY CAS- PLANT
COUNCIL CONSIDERS THIS
RESOLUTION
BIG ISSUE is PROPOSED
DR.. Houehton Urges His Colleagues
to Try Municipal Ownership
of the Lighting
Plant
BIG ISSUE is PROPOSED

That the city should issue bonds to
the amount Of $2,500,000 with which
to purchase or construct a municipal
gas plant of sufficient size and of such
equipment that it could furnish the
city with plenty of gas of good quality
was the proposition put to the coun-
Gil in the form Of a resolution by
Councilman Houghton yesterday.
The resolution calls attention to the
fact that the city charter gives the
council the right to call a special cleo
ton for a bond issue, and instructs
the city attorney to draw up the nee
essary ordinances Immediately to en-
body a bond election in the forthcom-
ing anti-saloon initiative election.
The object of introducing the reso-
luton at this time was to combine the
bond election with the saloon election,
and thus save the city the expense of
calling and holding two elections, in
stead of one. 1t is argued that there
is a popular demand for municipal
ownership and that it is bound to
come. According to the charter the
city has still margin of $4,OOO,00O of
bonds yet to issue, while under the
state law it can still issue $1S,OOO,OOO.
Backed by Committee
The resolution did not come from
the municipal ownership committee,
and, while 1t caused considerable dis
cussion on the floor of the council
chamber, no one took part in this dis
cussion except members of the COM
mittee. Chairman Houghton was
backed by Councilman Harmon, and
they put forth every effort to secure
the reference of the resolution to the
municipal ownership committee. Coun-
cilmen Kern and Smith thought that
the question was a financial one and
that it should go to the finance COM
mittee. The fifth member of the mu-
nicipal ownership committee took no
part in the discussion, but appeared
to favor the reference to the finance
committee, which was finally done.
A question of legality has come up
which has not yet been decided:
Whether or not the city council has
the legal right to combine other issues
in the special election which is ex-
pected to be called soon to decide the
S; loon question. The law has been
interpreted in the past to mean that
in such initiative elections only such
issues as are backed by sufficient petit
tions shall be put ON the ballots.
Councilman Smith said he was
strongly in favor of municipal owner
ship when the city was ready for it,
and that the voters should decide the
question for themselves at a general
election, as they have recently done in
Chicago. Councilman Kern agreed

CLAIMS TO HAVE SURE
CURE FOR CONSUMPTION
DR.. Alfred Goss of Adams, New York
Uses Electricity as
Remedy
Special to The Herald.

Speclal TO Inc teraiu'
WATERFOWL, N. Y, April H.
DR.. Alfred Goss of Adams, N. Y, who
has been experimenting for long
time, has discovered what he believes
to be sure cure for consumption. The
cure is made by forcing electricity into
the tissues after it has passed through
the germicide that will not affect the
albumen of the blood, and has been
proved to kill tubercle bacilli in lung
tissues. The germicide decomposes
under the action of electricity and
atoms of resultant gas combining with
electrops pass into the tissues.
Goss has treated forty-four cases and
has met with excellent results In every
one. He uses in his treatment six
teen plate electrical machine that de-
velops $4,000 volts. The experiment on
cadaver drove the gas in to depth
of eight inches.
