Proclamation On

JAPANESE CONSUL UYENO
has sent a detailed state
e. ment to viscount Aoli,
japanese Embassador to
Washington, of the 1ooting of
the Kinmon Ginko and the muir
der of Banker Murakata. The
feeling of the Japanese In the
matter is illustrated I'm the fol-
lowing proclamation prepared
by Kanichf Yukawa, president
of the Japanese Society of San

with Uyeno Inst night at the
Japanese consulate, Mt which 1T

on Wednesday, Japanese have
been the victims of one of
the cruelest and most repre-
hensibIe crimes ever perpetrated
ON our countrymen I'm the United
States. Picture for q moment
the Incompatible maIfgnity of
IT; InveiRhed into believing that
they were dealing leEitimately
with Americans, they were Iured
into corners by thugs who for
weeks had been trickfng them
into confidence and there beaten
into Inconsistencies and aban-
doned for dead. Then their
murderers made on, passing out
into the sunlit street with their
pIunder, while the life blood of
their victims was welling.
1t is the opinion of the Jap
anese Society of Sam Francisco
that Chief of Police Dinan and
the police force of San Fran
cisco will exert every effort to
bring these criminals to justice,
but the society would also en-
phasiEe the fact that 1t is the
duty of all Japanese I'm San
Francisco to become personally
interested in these efforts and
do all In their power to aid In
their apprehension.
Any information that might
furnish additional clews to
those already In possession of
the police and the society should
be Immediately reported to us.

a crowd of fellow workers, he was re-

mission suggested that his folks might
have been taken to Oakland by the
authorities. He started to the ferry.
BY the time the Oakland mole was

Soldiers From the Preside

There has been unlimited criticism
Of the national guardsmen and they
have been compared unfaVOrably with
their regular comrades. This is not
altogether fair. The California ma

campaign to make them so. They were
gathered up from the farm, the work
shop, mill, Office and university, and
pushed into the smoke and confusion
under conditions more trying than bat
tie, and told to be as steady and show
as ripe judgment as the regulars. Like
young recruits on outpost in a lonely
land there were times when the temp
tatlOn to near the sound of their own
rifles was greater than they could
withstand. Most of the stories Of
WantOn shooting on the part of any Of
the troops proved, however, on being
run down, to have originated in the
superheated imagination of somebody
unused TO the severity of military
regime 1t Is a shock to a free, self
governing American city to suddenly
see all law, all government, conCen-
trated in the person Of a young man
with a magazine rifle, pacing across
the street, stopping vehicles, pedts-
trianS, civil officials, and all, and d.
recting the coming and going of all
classes with impartiality. 1t gives
the average citizen a peculiar and per-
haps not altogether an agreeable sem
sation to have this young man shout
