the probability of Okla starting a paper
of his own.
The colony of Japanese who are re-
sponsible for the publication are
known to the authorities of Berkeley.
JAPANESE EDITORS PLEASED
dozen Japanese youths make up
the editorial board of the Revolu-
ton, the anarchistic paper which star
tied the San Francisco Board of Edu-
cation. and yesterday they leaned back
in their chairs in the big red house
they occupy on Parker street. Berkeley,
apparently well pleased with the Juror
their sheet had created.
Uncommunicative as eyer, these
Japanese anarchists, who desire "the
overthrow of the Mikado, the President
or King, and are not particular as to
the means" still declined to name the
man who was their editor -in-chief. and
they insisted, as before, that they had
no commander. If the authorities real
ly do put a hand on the anarchistic
group. they will discover as slippery
band OF Orientals as lurk in this
section of the coast. Boys in years,
they have the Oriental smoothness that
baf1ies inquiry. and which leaves their
questioners at the end of a hunt for in
formation regarding their business at
about the place where start was
made
PUBLISHERS WELL EDUCATED
T. Olvai. who is put forward by this
colony Of japanese socialists. or an
archists, as spokesman. speaks English
well enough, and he talked with great
glibness and at length, but he revealed
little of real value.
Olvai is student in a private school
in Oakland. He disclaims direct re-
sponsibility for the Revolution. as do
all his brethren. Olvai said today:
1T is no use demanding the name of
our editor. for there is no editor of the
Revolution. The paper Is prepared by
a number of japanese men who live
In this house, and who are bound to-
gether as socialists. No one man writes
the articles for the Revolution or
edits them. The paper is a community
product. All the members have to do
with getting advertisements for it,
writing for 1t and attending to the
payment of the bills for printing it.

Assistant u. S. District Attorney Alfred
p. Black today for his consideration
pending information from headquart-
ers
was unaware Of the exact status OF the
case, but said that the publishers of
the paper who expressed the anarchis-
tic views were liable to deportation.
He said that the matter would probably
be taken up by the authorities at
Washington. The affair is regarded by
Attorney Black as being extremely del
icate. The deportation of the editors Of
the anarchistic paper following the
school controversy. is in his estima-
tion, matter that will cause the au-
thorities at the capital the greatest
concern.
The postoffice officials have not con-
sidered the affair within their juris-
diction. Postmaster Arthur c. Fisk has
not reported the affair to the postal
inspectors. as he believes the Secret
Service should deal with the publish
ers. James H. O'Connell. postal inspec-
tor Of the city, said last night that as
the Japanese printers had not applied
for permit to send the paper as sec
ond class matter the case could not be
touched by him.

tion that Okla was the editor OF the

 The three Chinamen who were arrested Sunday charged with hitting the pipe' were given a hearing yesterday. Their outfit was introduced as evidence against them and a witness was procured who could demonstrate to the court the use of the various articles. This evidence was listened to with interest by all the spec tators, as opium fiends are something of rarety here and most of those present had never seen the real Oriental pipe. Jing Tie was found not guilty. but the other two Charles Sam and Charlie George, were convicted and fined, the lat ter s1O and the former $15.

Washington. July 31.-The state depart- ment received the following dispatch to- day from Ambassador Thompson at tha City of Mexico:
 You will please cause the Associated Press to say that the numerous state- ments in circulation in American papers in regard to an uprising of Mexicans against foreigners in Mexico on septem- Der 1. is without foundation. so far as Is disclosed in Mexico, where seemingly all said of such an uprising comes from reading American papers received in this city.
 President Diaz assured me this morn- ing as he did week since. as reported In my dispatch of July 5. that he Is unable to find cause for any of the alarming interviews and statements reported to have been given out by Americans re- turning 10 the United States from Mexico. "The Mexican government. however. because of the alarming stories put in circulation. are vigilant to the last de- gree. and should disturbances develop at any point. the offenders will be dealt with as their cases may merit.

LESSER SAYS GERMANS
 ARE NOT COMPLAINING

According to reports that are being re- ceived in Birmingham from Emil Lesser, president of the German American Immi- grafton Society of Alabama. it would seem that the wild stories circulated in regard to the rough treatment received by German immigrants in the southern parts of the state are absolutely without foundation Some days ago a report was sent out and taken up by the newspapers throughout the country that men had been held in peonage in certain lumber camps, and that they had been pursued with bloodhounds on attempting to escape. The story was widely copied in the north, and in several instances was made the subject for editorial comment. MT. Lesser felt that the truth of the matter should be known, and accordingly left here Sunday morning to investigate the reports.
 Last night at late hour the following telegram was received from him:

 It is expected that other arrests in the case will follow ,,,

IGNORANT NEGRO
 CAUSES DAMAGE
BREAKS HOSTING ENGINE AT SLoSS FURNACE AND FORCES IT TO CLOSE DOWN FOR A FEW HOURS,

A peculiar accident to the hoisting en- zine at Sloss furnace No 2, on First avenue and Thirtieth street last night, neeessitates closing down for several hours
 About 1 o'clock, 1t seems. small negro boy went up to the top of the furnace in cage for a dinner pail belonging to one of the men. and when near the top pulled the wrong rope to stop the car, Both elevators immediately ran 10 the top and the negro suddenly found himself on the highest point of the fur mace with no means of getting down Officer Fully came on the scene in answer to summons from the office of the Sloss-Sheffield company, but was unable to get the negro down for some time.
 Perched on top of the furnace, thor oughly frightened, the boy refused to come down by way of the small ladder which runs up the side. until finally several negro men were ordered by the officer to go up after him. Persuaded by them the boy crept down the narrow ladder and finally reached the ground. His Knees were shaking. his teeth chat tering and his eyes rolling from fright. and he became so to speak, pale when told by Officer Fully that he must go to jail on q charge of malicious mischief. He gave his name as Charlie Phillips.
 A telephone message from the furnace at an early hour this morning stated that the damage could not be repaired until about Il o'clock today.

WEED CROPPING TODAY.
City Will be Cleaned From One End
 to the Other.

The weeds that grow rank in the yards and streets and about the railroad tracks in the city will be laid low today, or at least the work will be begun. The whole week will doubtless be required to com plete it. That the Mayor and the street cleaning department are in earnest about having the town clean from one end to the other Is evidenced by the orders issued recently. All who fail to be gov erned thereby will be arrested and fined. Inspectors will make daily reports.

 On leaving here Sunday MT. Lesser proceeded to Pensacola. Fla. where he made himself known to the German vice consul located there. With the assist ance of that official he began his in- vestigations and visited every point from which any complaint had been said to emenate. MT. Lesser spent yesterday in Loekhart, where he questioned many lm- migrants who are employed in lumber camps located there, but could not find single man who had any complaint to make. The above telegram from Flor ala shows that the same Is true of that phase, so 1t would seem that Mir. Lesser's prophecy that the reports would prove to be false has been verified.
 Mir Lesser will return to Birmingham within the next day or so. and has prom ised to give out full statement of the matter on his arrival.
