REPRESENTATIVE KAHN
 ON THE W|LY LAPS
Says They Are Worse Than the Chinese, and Will Never
 Be AmeTcanized.

NEW YORK. Dec. 11.-Japanese i'm. migration was bitterly denounced in a speech tonight by Representative Ju- Illus Kahn of San Francisco. Kahn was one of the speakers at the dinner of the New York Credit Mems Asso- citation, held at the Hotel St- Denis. His subject was "TAe Japanese Ones tion as Affecting San Francisco"
 The people of the Pacinss Coast. he said. were satisfied that tbe Japanese would always remain loyal to the mi kado. and the oath of naturalization would be to them a hollow mockery. Calfforuians did not want that ktnd o1 e1tixe1ship and did net frtend to have u if they could prevent 1t.
 The peopl eof the coast, he said, had their experience with Chinese cooiies and now were threatened with another Oriental invasion still more serious for the Japanese had all the vices oi the Chinese with none of their virtues He defended the policy of the segrega, ton of the Japanese in the public schools of California, and said that the people of his state would never permit their children to be thrown into close contacf with adult Japanese.

WAS WALKING 0FF
 WITH TWO GRIPS
Hobo Is Caught In the Act of Getting Away With An-
 other Mans Suit Cases.

A number of petty thieves have drifted into the city with the latest bunch of hoboes, but the most auda- cious attempt of it's kind tried in the city for some time. was when Chas. H. Ward endeayored to purloin two suit cases yesterday.
 Ward had just been released from jail in the morning. after having been arrested for "mouching" drinks and small change. and immediately pro- ceeded to ply his trade again. In the course of the afternoon he ran across man who happened to take a good look at him, and that was Wards un- doing. Ward asked for the price of drink. but got very cold reception, and went on his way.
 About 5:15, while waiting for the ev- ening train to arrive in the city. the man whom Ward had asked in the af- ternoon for a dime, saw the erstwbile beggar marching jauntily down the railroad track with suit case in each hand He thought 1t rather strange, and mentioned the matter to Officer Wiimoth. who immediately overlook .Ward. and asked him where he got the suit cases.
 The reply was to the effect that a man had asked him to carry the suit cases to Lowell. but this explanation did not seem plausible to Wiimoth, so he took the man back to town. and in few minutes received word from J. G. Moshner. the baker in the Ede.- weiss Cafe. that two of the latter's grips had been stolen from the hall Of the Victoria House. Moshner was sent for. and identified the two grips, and when asked If he had hired any one to carry them to Lowell, stated that he had not.
 Ward was taken to the branch coun- ty jail. and will probably be arraign- ed today for his preliminary hearing on charge of burglary.

SITUATION |S|MPROv|NG
 ]. STEADILY
Coal Supply For Mines Is Suf- ficient to Keep All Running. While Domestic Coal Supply Is Almost Normal.

Although there has been no general influx of either coal or oil into the dis trict within the past couple of days, the situation has been considerably nm. proved. until at the present time 1t IS felt that there is little or no probability of the mines being compelled to shut down for lack of fuel.
 When seen last evening and asked concerning the matter General Mana. ger Walter Douglas stated that coal shipments at the present time are about normal, and that barring acci. dents there was little to fear in re- gard to the fuel situation.
 Among the local dealers in fuel for domestic purposes some little embar. rassment has beeen felt on account of the scarcity of GETS. but the situation at the present time is very much the same as usual.
 When seen yesterday F. R. Harring ton, manager of the Moore Fuel & Feed Company, stated that within the past couple of days they have received several cars. which although not any means normal, is sufficient to keep their customers supplied until the railroad company is able to furnish the cars for the shipments which have been ordered.
 Nerfurth. of the Independent Fuel and Feed Company. has just returned from Gallup, New Mexico, where he went several days ago to make ar engagements for the shipment of coal, and he also stated that they will be receiving their regular supply within the next few days.

Meeting of Both Sides of A. M. ( Q. Dispute Win Be Held in the City Today-Result Is in Doubt.

It seems that there will be one moro attempt made to settle the dispute which has arisen among the stock holders of the American Mining and Development Company over the min ing property which Is in Sonora, and unless this final effort Is successful, resort will be had to the courts.
 D. A Richardson. the Douglas at torney representing the Oklahoma in- terest, arrived Ia the city last even ing. In company with two of the stock holders. O. c. Jones and A Hughes, of Oklahoma City. These gentlemen came to the city last evening from No gales. Sonora, where they appeared before the federal court in regard to the matter
 When seen last evening and asked concerning the matter, Richardson said: We have arrived in the city for the purpose of trying to arrive at an amicable adjustment of the diffi- culties which have arisen in the American Mining and Development Company. and if we are not successful in arriving at a conclusion of this kind. then we will take the matter up for legal fight. As far as we are concerned, we are willing to let the other side have the board of directors. the only objection which we will make in this matter being that Brandon and Sanders can not be on the board of directors. but otherwise the board may be composed of men friendly to the interests of the other side"
 IL was known that O'Connell & Nc Reynolds were attorneys for the local stockholders, and a Review reporter called al their office last evening for the purpose of obtaining a statement in regard to that side of the case, but was told that at the present time there was nothing to give out other than that the matter would be taken up and settled one way or the other today.
 It was reported yesterday that Messrs. Brandon, Barry, Sanders, ct al. VI 'ake no part in the conference. ~h'rb 'S to be held in this city today,
 ul Ali be represented by their at tnrneSh Messrs. O'Connell and Mo Reynolds.
 1t is understood that those interests at present fn possession of the mine, by virtue of a, decision of the Mexican judge at Cananea, are willing to com promise with the Oklahoma interests, provided the latter are willing to buy their stock. otherwise 1t is intimated that the difficulties at present exist ing will be fought out in the Mexican courts.
