HORDES OF JAPS
SWARM|NG OVER
Menace to Labor in the Ha-
Waiian Islands and Pa
CifiC Coast States.

Washington, Dec. 24.-Immigration
Commissioner Sergeant was at his desk
today after trip of several weeks,
during which he visited the immigra-
ton. stations at Honolulu and San
Francisco. While he was at Honolulu
1873 Portuguese immigrants from Fun
chal and Madeira arrived.
Commissioner Sergeant superintended
their landing, and before he left many
of them already had secured employ
ment.
Mr.. Sergeant, who went to Honolulu
at the special request of President
Roosevelt to be present at the landing
of the Portuguese immigrants. called
on the president during the day.
Influx of Japanese.
There are probably $4,000 Japanese
in the Hawaiian islands," said Mr.. Sar-
geant, and they are arriving there at
the rate of from 600 to 1000 a month.
New arrivals do not reriain long on the
islands, however, and soon go to the
Pacific coast. They are leaving in large
numbers by each steamer. In the last
twelve months 1900 Japanese have
gone from the Hawaiian islands to the
mainland of this country"
MT sergeant was asked why the Jap
anese first go to Hawaii. He explained
it by saying that as he understood the
case, the Japanese government does not
insure passports to the United States
proper, as it is unaware whether its
citizens could get work here, but the
fact that there is demand for laborers
in Hawaii induces the issue of pass
ports to the islands.
Feeling Aroused.
Mr.. Sergeant admitted there was con-
siderable feeling against the Japanese
in many portions of the islands, as their
labor is cheaper and their merchants
are underselling the American mer-
chants in the islands. and taking away
their trade p1 eviously established with
the Japanese.

CAR OVER EMBANKMENT
VICTIMS BEING TREATED AT LOS
GATOS.

San Jose, Cal, Dec. 4-Eighteen per-
cons were injured, several of them seri-
ously, and the whole trainload of three
score passengers severely shaken up at
10 O'Clock this morning, when two day
coaches and the baggage car of a South
ern Pacific train, No SOP. bound from
Oakland 10 Wright'S. left the track on
curve near Birmingham siding, and
plunged seventy-five feet down an en-
bankment. That many were not killed
outright is due to the fact that the train
had slowed down before it struck the
curve, where it is supposed that spread
ing rails caused the accident.
Couplings Broke.
The engines. first mail and baggage car
had passed safely around the bend, when
the second car broke its coupling and
plunged down TO the river channel fol-
lowed by the smoker and chair car, both
of which were well filled with passengers.
The baggage car was thrown over hun
dred feet from the place where il left the
rails. and turned over on its side in the
bottom of a gravel pit. The passenger
coaches slid off the right of way seventy
five feet below the track.
Many were able to find their way out of
the wreck, crawling through broken win
dows or along slanting ceilings to the
doors. The injured were removed in the
baggage car, which remained on the rails.
TO Los Gatos, where the Lindon hotel was
thrown open to them.

Moyer-Hayward Gases Up

Arguments were begun before
the United States supreme icourt
Wednesday in the cases of
Charles Fl. Meyer, W. ID. Hay
ward and George B. Pettibone,
officers and members Of the
Western federation of miners,
now in prison in Idaho, charged
with conspiracy to murder ex-
Gov. Steunenberg. The case
came up on appeal on q decision
of the Ideho fedeIal court Fefus-
ing a writ of habeas corpus.
Counsel for the appellant were
Clarence S. Darrow, the noted
Chicago labor advocate, ard L.
+. Observation-Disclosures, while W.
II. Hawley of Boise represented
the state of Idaho. The chief
controversy was over the method
by which the Idaho authorities
obtained jurisdiction over the
accused men, it being alleged
that they are kidnapped with
the cooperation of the governor
of Colorado, and were denied
their constitutional rights, This
was stoutly denied by Hawley,
who maintained that even If the
charge were true the prisoners
remedy was action for damages.
Harry Orchard, whose alleged
confession as the murderer of
Steunenberg implicated Meyer,
Hayward and Pettibone, is now
said to have become a maniac,
and the impression prevails that
without his testimony the feder-
alton officers can not be convict

Tennessee Mules.

Over 1900 mules have been
purchased in Tennessee within
the last three weeks, and will,
Within the next year, be shipped
to Mexico, where they will be
used in the cultivation of cotton,
cane and rice. These purchases
have been made by contract, and
the animals are to be delivered
at the rate of nearly 200 month,
the first lot to be delivered in
Eagle Pass, or, as Mexicans call
the town on their side of the Rio
Grande, Biudad Porfirio Diaz,
on Feb. /, 1907.
Two men are now in Memphis,
who have been making these con.
tracts, and not only these, but
others, for cattle, sheep, horse;
and agricultural implements
They are Capt. 4. Garcia, for

Get Rich -Quick.

According to the periodical,
Success, james Whitcomb Riley,
the poet, was some time ago
looking over fence on his farm
at a field of rye, when a neigh
Dor who was driving by stopped
his horse and asked:
Hello, Riley, how's your rye
doing?"
"Fine, fine," replied the poet.
"How much do you expect to
clear to the acre?"
ooh about four gallons" ans
wered Mr.. Riley, deliberately.
The story may have been slur
on the Hoosier poets lack of
farm wisdom, or to show that he
had in mind a certain beverage
into which rye is sometimes con-
verted. 1t does not matter. The
reply as to his expected output
was at least free from the exag-
geration in which amateurs often
excel. When we are told that an
acre of land will produce 1000
bushels of onions, or pay $4,000
in strawberries, or that all one
has to do to make a fortune in
poultry is to buy a thousand hens
and turn them loose, and they
will do the rest, the prospective
intensive farmer or poultryman
may have false hopes aroused. If
he believes such stories, he is
certain to be misled.
There is no excellence without
great labor. While there is good
money in gardening, growing the
small fruits, and in poultry rails,
ing. it is not as easily made as or
paper. The man who is careful
industrious, and "sticks" a Ions
while is the one who succeeds.

Very Cordially Received.

A special from Franklin says !:
Rev. w. L. Haggard, the newly
appointed pastor of the Metho-
dist Church in Franklin, opened
his work here Sunday under the
most favorable conditions. DR..
Haggard was favorably known
by many of the church people in
Franklin before his appointment,
and general satisfaction was ex-
pressed when it was known that
he would receive franklin as his
charge. He preached both morn
ing and evening to large congre-
cations, which necessitated the
use of chairs, in addition to the
regular seating capacity of the
church.

Vertreese "Agin It."

Hon. John J. Vertreese has de-
clined to accept the appoint
ment as one of the delegates
from Tennessee to the conven-
tion called by Gov. Cummins, of
Iowa, to be held at Des Moines
in December, for the purpose of
taking step to have called a con-
vention of representatives of the
States to propose an amendment
to the Constitution of the Unit
ed States, providing for popular
elections for Senators in the
Congress of the United States,
which was rendered him by Gov.
Cox some time ago.
Mr.. Vertrees returned his COM
mission as a delegate and written
to the Governor declining the APP
pointment on the ground that
he is not in sympathy with the
movement, believing that there
should be no departure from the
method devised by the fathers
for the elections of United States
Senators. His letter is evidence
that he has not been influenced
by the popular clamor in behalf
of change in the system of gov
eminent.
The letter Of Mr.. Vertrees to
Gov. Cox is as follows:
"Hon. John |. Cox, Governor,
Nashville, Tenn: Dear Sir
Returning after an absence Of
some weeks, | find that you have
done me the honor to appoint me
as representative of Tennessee
tC the Interstate Convention TO
be held Dec. 5, 1906, at Des
Moines, Ia, for the purpose of
considering ways and means to
secure an amendment to the
Federal Constitution so as to
provide for the election of Unit
ed States Senators by direct vote
of the people.
''Inasmuch as | am not in SYM
pathy with that movement and
am opposed to such an amend
Isnent, find myself obliged to
ldeclne this appointment. 90
pressing to you my appreciation
of the honor implied in this ap
pointment, | am very respectful.
ly yours, "JoHN J. VERTREEs."

An Old Bible.

Capt. Edwin p. Walker, Co
A, S9th Ill.,, State Department,
Washington, d. c., has a Bible
which was given him on the bat
tlefeld of Stones River by a cor
poral in his company. 1t had
been taken from brick house
between the lines. The house
was occupied by sharp shooters
who were picking off our can
noneers and were finally driven
out by shells. The Bible was
printed in 1925, and the family
record is torn out. Capt. Walk
er is willing to return it to the
owners if they can be found and
desire it.-Washington National
Tribune.

To Dig Canal by Contract.

The isthmian canal cosamis-
sion has decided to call fsR bids
to build .thr Panasasrsrs 49,
contract. The successful bidder
will be required to take OVER all
the work of construction, includ-
ing any contracts that may have
been made for the employment
of Chinese labor. The commits
sion's principal reason for this
change of plan is the labor prob
lem, as it is believed that the
private contractor will be less
hampered by governmental red
tape in solving it. Nevertheless
the commissioners insist that the
government will not relinquish
the responsibility for the con-
struction work. The contract
will be made with one individual
or corporation, which, however,
may be composed of several sub
contractors, each II whom will
be expert in some particular
branch of the work. The COM
panies bidding must have q CAPT
talization of $5,000,000 over all
debts and membranes, and the
successful bidder must furnish
a bond of 100000. The COM
pensation to the contractor will
be on the percentage plan, and
to the lowest bidder the con-
tract will be awarded, the total
cost of the job being estimated
by a board of engineers, two of
whom will be appointed by the
bidder and three by the govern
ment. The competition is not
limited to American bidders.
| Chairman Shonts says that it
would take many years for the
government to get an adequate
force of competent engineers AND
experts, because these men are
now controlled by the leading
contractors of the United States
Consequently it is a short cut tC
utilize the trained forces of the
best construction companies.

8. did I goFernors at the I.y-
yseiiin. theater Friday night.
This is an unusually large audi
ence to here a political speech in
Memphis.
Throughout the speech there
was repeated vociferous applause.
On the stage were among the
most prominent republicans in
the city including public officials,
lawyers, jurists, merchants,
bankers, planters and manufac-
turers.
When Mr.. Evans related that
Mr.. Patterson, his opponent, had
talking about "negro suprema-
cy," he told of the year when
Mr.. Patterson was on the same
ticket with negro. "The negro
was elected on the democratic
ticket" declared Mr.. Evans,
"and Mr.. Patterson either voted
for him or else he was traitor to
his party"
Tremendous applause greeted
this statement. Mr.. Evans cam
paign in West Tennessee is prov
ing the mort successful ever
made by republican candidate.
Large crowds are present at his
every appointments.
The fragrant election frauds in
Memphis were given special
stress by Mr.. Evans when he told
of the election laws Of the state
and the gerrymandering tactics
of the democratic senate and
house to prevent republican be-

Bolivar Saturday, but will return
to Memphis and spend Sunday.
His hotel throughed with visiters
all day.
His speech last night has had
splendid effect and conserva-
tive democrats admit that he
will get the largest republican
vote poled in this county for
years. They further concede
that Mr.. Patterson can not poll
anywhere near the strength of
his party.

night was a representative one
notable because of q single me-

A staff correspondent of the
Nashville Banner from Bristol,
Tuesday says that last night
Joseph G. Cannon, speaker Of the
House of Representatives, the
beloved "Uncle Joe" of the plain
people, the man who is seventy
years young, appealed to the Re-
publicans of the First Tennessee
District to stand by the nominee
of the. party and to return the

Congress. He outlined the duty
of voter to his party, and went
