RUINS RICHER THAN A MINE
Twisted Steel in Fallen BUILDINGS a
Source of Income

San Francisco-It has been calculat-
ed that the steel in the ruins of this
city will form valuable source of
income to the owners and that the
ruins are richer than any known
mine
Officials of the Southern Pacific re-
port large movement of scrap steel
and say that instead of going east,
as was the case when the movement
first started, by far the larger part
of the steel is going to local smelters,
that at Selby getting a good slice of
the supply.
The steel is being taken from own
ers who are cleaning up their prop
critics and then shipped to the smelt-

WILSON WARNS PACKERS
Says if Packers Defy the Law They
Will Find Their Way Into
the Penitentiary

Washington, d. C.-The Federal
government sat up today and took no.
tice of the talk about the formation
of a holding company to take over
the property and business of the beef
trust. The notice consists of letters
to the attorneys in the districts in
which the acts of forming the corpor-
alton may be taken calling their at
tention to the newspaper reports.
'It is vengeance as much as any
thing else that the officers of the fed
eral government desire. The unmer-
ciful roasting that resulted from Gar
fields report giving the trust clean
bill of health, and the subsequent Civ
ing of the judicial immunity bath as a
result of that report, has made the
attorneys of the department of justice
tender on the subject of the beef trust
They have healthy desire to retrieve
themselves and wipe out the blot
caused by the freeing of the packers
because Garfield had asked them for
information
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was
asked for a statement of his views
concerning the attempted formation of
a trust.
''The only information l have on the
subject of this alleged merger propo-
sition," said Mr.. Wilson, has been
cleaned from the newspapers But l
will say this.
1--WE have bureau of corporations,
whose agents are especially charged
with looking into matters of this kind
"We have department of justice,
whose machinery was designed to be
used in just such a case as this.
"Whe have our attorney generals to
talk to grand juries.
1--WE have grand juries to listen and
to indict.

GOVERNOR MAGOoN's TASK
Cuban Situation Not as Calm as the
Surface Indicates

The Cuban papers have printed al
most daily eulogies of Secretary Taft
and Secretary Bacon, and their gen
eral attitude has been that interven-
ton was the thing to be hoped for and
worked for, rather than opposed But
these are surface indications, for the
Cubans are an emotional and shallow
people. Their smiles can be quickly
turned to frowns, and the machete
changed from an agricultural imple-
ment to a weapon of war. The dis
banding of the army has been accom-
plished but this is no assurance that
Governor Magoon has smooth sailing
ahead of him.
With the island firmly in the grip of
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1906-11-01

the army, Governor Magoon, carrying
out the policy of Secretary Taft, will
undertake a thorough investigation of
the charges against the provisional
governors and alcaldes placed in Office
by the Palma government, and all OF
those against whom charges are sus-
tanned will be supplanted by such
reputable men in either party as Gov
ernor Magoon can find. The liberals
have repeatedly disclaimed any de-
sire for Office, but neither Secretary
Taft nor Governor Magoon is deceived
by these professions, and although
some suggestion has been made that
the new election can be held in June,
when the grinding season for sugar
ends in the greater part of the island
it is very possible that between now
and then disorders will take place
which will call for the use of force
by the army and by the rural guard.
Unfortunate precedents have been
created by the Taft mission because
it's instruction to protect life and prop
erty at almost any cost necessitated
placing a premium upon rebellion bv
treating with men in arms against the
government, and upon horse stealing
by permitting the rebels to retain the
horses which they had seized. But it
should be remembered that the Taft
mission did not create the situation
which confronted them unon their ar
rival; that their instructions were to
deal with the materials at hand. Pro-
lection of life and property and tho
prevention of further hostilities were
the objects which Secretary Taft kept
constantly in mind. If the people of
Cuba take advantage of the unfortu-
nate precedents created, and the Uni
ted States is compelled at some future
time to intervene. the form of inter
vention will doubtless be verv differ
ent from that inaugurated by the Taft
mission. Another rebellion will call
for the use of an iron hand, unpro-
tected by the soft glove of tact and
diplomacy. Such a mission would
he military in character and it's prob
lens would be simple in comparison
with the difficult and complicated sit
uation which Secretary Taft has hand
led with such skill and tact and pa
tience,-Havana Letter, New York

JAPAN MAKES DEMANDS
Japanese Children to Enjoy Same
Rights in Public Schools as
Americans

Americans
Washington-There was long and
important conference today between
Secretary Root and Viscount AoM, the
Japanese ambassador, regarding the
action of San Francisco in building
separate schools for Japanesec hill
dren. The ambassador requested the
secretary of state to see carried out
the treaty of 1894, which requires that
Japanese children be permitted to at
tend the public schools in this coun-
try. Secretary Root promised to take
the matter up with the governor of
California.
No formal protest was made by the
Japanese ambassador, although he
stated that the killing of the Japanese
poachers in Alaska and the talk about
restricting Japanese immigration to
the United States had not contributed
to the anti-American sentiment in
Japan SO much as had the school ques
ton.
"There is much misunderstanding in
Japan concerning the situation" said
Viscount Aoki. "Of course, the Jap
anese government realizes that the
action taken against the Japanese
children is merely local, but all the
Japanese people do not understand
it is not a national policy. After all
the years of friendship between the
two nations it seems too bad that the
Door, innocent. little japanese school
children should be subjected to such
indignities, and they are resented very
bitterly by the Japanese"
The ambassador stated that Mr..
Hanihara, the secretary of the embas-
sy. who was sent to Alaska to investi.
gate the killing of Japanese poachers
by American officers. had returned to
WASHINGTON and made verbal re-
port. He admitted that the Japanese
had not right to take seals, but he
whether the Americans were justified
in killing the poachers. Secretary
Root has requested the Japanese gov
ernment to cause the arrest and pun
ishment of the Japanese poachers vino
escaped to Japan.
There is no disposition on the part
of the administration to minimize the
seriousness of the situation. It is real
lied that if the Pacific coast move
ment against the Japanese continues
the United States will lose the friend
ship of Japan and with 1t probably a
large share of Oriental commerce. A
high official of the government point
ed out today that the loss of Japa-
nese and Chinese commerce would be
more severely felt on the Pacific coast
than elsewhere.
Every effort will be made to con-
vince .TaDan that the United States
government has no part in the Pa
cific coast movement. 1t is not ex-
pocted in adm inistration circles that
the labor unions of California will

down the hill together it looked many odds
on the old horse. Offers of two and three

heading the old horse again. Then Hay

Rowe and Kooree rushed past the post

MARYLAND AGGIES HOPE

The foot bail eleven representing the

Nelson inaugurated a systematic scheme of
practice two weeks ago. and has put the
candidates for the various positions through
a severe course OF training. and every
member Of the eleven finally chosen is as
