Bio San Francisco Graft Hunt.
Francis j. Heney, who convicted
United States Senator Williams and
other land sharks on land frauds in
Oregon, has been retained by the citi-
zens of San Francisco to fight the city
grafters. For this purpose Rudolph
Spreckels has guaranteed 100000 to
be collected among the citizens. The
desperation to which the city was re-
duced by recent acts of lawlessness
was indicated by the fact that more
than 5000 revolvers had been purchas-
ed by citizens during the week. Presi-
dent Wheeler of the University Of Cali

BY direction of the president, Victor
H. Metcalf, secretary of commerce and
labor, has been hurrying to San Fran
cisco to investigate the causes respon-
sible for the exclusion Of japanese
children from the public schools Of

municated to the Japanese govern
ment, with the assurances Of the ad-

treaty obligations. Should the San
Francisco authorities fail to realize the
effect of their policy upon these obliga-

will consider the power of the govern
ment to enforce treaty guarantees. It
is also reported that some of the Japa-
nese restaurant keepers of San Fran
cisco have been boycotted.

as the law stipulates that each day

give time for a petition in error. The

Der, and thereby make changes in their eX-
port rates on those commodities without
the thirty days notice required by law, and
having heard representatives OF the car
riers and numerous shippers, and the COM

foreign destination which specify the inland
rate to the port Of export and the ocean
rate from the port OF export, even though
no joint through rate is published.
Ii is ordered:
That no published rates on cotton shall be
advanced except upon thirty days notice,
as required by law.

March 1, 1907, carriers may reduce their
published export rates on cotton to the va
rious ports or export upon three days no
tiee.
That until November I. 1906 carriers may
continue to equalize export cotton rates
throash the various ports by applying the
lowest combination through all the ports,
thereby making said rates without publica-
ton and fling as required by law, provided
that they post In two conspicuous places
in the station where cotton Is received for
shipment notices of the rates so made
soon as they are made and mail copies OF
the same to the commission. said notices to
specify the rate and the time during which
the rate will continue in effect.
That as to cottonseed and its products
and lumber the petition is denied.
