HANG BAD MEN.
President of California University Up-
 holds Henri's Hand.


 Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 21.-1f we have many more bad men in San Fran cisco we may have to get rid of some of them by means of the scaffold." de- clared President Benjaman Ide Wheeler of the University of California in an address before the pupils of the Los Angeles High School.
 President Wheeler is quoted as giv- ing utterance to these words:
 Perhaps outsiders do not realize how desperate and bold the conspira- tors have become. Nearly all self-re- specting men in the city are behind Henri, yet he may be overwhelmed Those who are opposed to him are vim dictive desperate and no one knows how strong.
 "A coterie of men, myself included supplied him, with what money h' needed to push the Investigation Peo- ple who have taken an interest IT politics are being driven to it by the recent outbreak the like of which has not been seen since the days of the last vigilance committee. Public feei- ing is wrought up to such a pitch tha' should violence be done any Of the re form chiefs, I do not believe public indignation would stop short of death to the perpetrators.
 Henri is a brave man. He knows that every time he walks into the court room he takes his life in his hands. We stand by him."
 President Wheeler was deeply agi' tated as Ee talked.

THE ERDMAN ACT.
Held by United States Judge to He
 Void.

Held by United States Judge to He
 Void.
 Some weeks ago in the case against Mr. Frank Young of this city, train dispatcher of the l.. and N. Railroad U. S Commissioner Elnpre held the Erdman act, under which it was sought to try him. to be unconstitutional. His decision attracted wide attention. In the United States Court al Louisville, Ky. d few days ago was heard the case of the United States against J. M. Scott. The case in question was the indictment in six counts of J. M. Scott, Chief Train Dispatcher for the Lou isville and Nashville Railroad Com pany. charging him with the violation of the Interstate Commerce law by dis charging telegraph operators because they were affiliated with the Order Of Railway Telegraphers. The indictment charged that such action amounted to discrimination against labor unions.
 The decision of Judge Evans deals altogether with Section 10 of the act of 1898 which is specific against cor porations discriminating against any employe because of his connection with labor corporations or unions. It was contcnded that unless Congress had me power to enact the legislation by Vir- the power did not exist at all. Judge Evans holds that the legislation in question has no reasonable relation to the regulation of commerce He con lends that the section in question simp- iv deals with the phase of employer and employe and their relations: He holds that wherever the Federal Con stitution is silent there Congress should be silent.

TAFT ON TARIFF.
Gives GlimmerinE Hope of Republicans DOine Something.

Cleveland, O., Oct 27-Secretary of War Taft made his first speech In the Ohio campaign here tonight when he was greeted by a large and enthusias- tic audience.
 The meeting was held in Central Armory, which was file dwith people notwithstanding furious rain ana windstorm which made the night the most indictment of the season. Con- gressman Theodore Burton of this city, was the first speaker of the evening, and when he had concluded, Secretary Taft was introduced and was tendered an ovation.
 Referring to the Democratic claim that the tariff could be so revised as to destroy trusts, Secretary Taft ex- plained that the tariff was such com plicated system that 1t was absolutely impossible, without destroying the whole protective system upon which the business of the country was found- cd. to accomplish anything with re- spect to trusts.
 He said, that speaking for himself alone, he thought that the period Of the time which had elapsed since the pas sage of the Dingley bill has so changed conditions as to require revision ol the present tariff. so as to remove the ineuuatities and excesses; and nc
 
 sentiment in favor of that in the Re publican Party which, in the near fu- ture. would result in revision on lines of maintaining a system of protection; that the tariff affected so many indus. tries in all parts of the country tha, it was impossible to touch It without affecting legitimate business interests in which capital had been invested O, the faith of maintenance Of the tariH A revision could not take piact therefore, without affecting some oi these interests. injuriously. This was the reason why the Republican Party was most reluctant to take up the ques' ton of revision and the reason why II was difficult to secure unanimous party action thereon. but 1t was greatly bet fer to await the probable revision oi the tariff by the Republican Party or the basis of the system of protection than to vote for Democratic Congress men who were the Candidates of party. which in its St. Louis platform had declared that protection was th' robbery of the many for the benent o the few

'R. ROOT GOT BUSY
ASSURED JAPAN OF TROUBLES s LOCAL NATURE.
Said that United states Will See that Oriental School Children Get Fair Treatment in San
 EramcisCO,

Washington, Oct. 27-The text of cablegram to Ambassador Wright at Tokio, given out by the State Depart ment tonight bearing on the alleged discrimination against Japanese labor CTS and school children in San Fran cisco. shows that the United States took prompt action to acquaint the Japanese Government of the purely local char acter of the case.
 The dispatch was brought forth by one from Ambassador Wright calling attention to the view of the matter as taken by the newspapers of Tokio, and makes plain the fact that this Govern ment would not tolerate any other treatment toward Japanese than &C., corded the most friendly European na- ticn.
 The cablegram is dated October 23. and. therefore. was sent three days be- fo re the visit of Viscount Aoki to Sec retary Root yesterday.
 It is as follows:
 October 23. Wright, Tokio:
 Troubles. your dispatch Of 21st, are entirely local and confined to San Fran cisco. This Government was not aware of their existence until the publica' tion in our newspapers of what had happened in Tokio. The best informa- tton we have been able to obtain indt- -ates that there is nothing even in San Francisco but an ordinary local labor ontroversy excited by the abnormal ,nditions resulting from the earth !. takes and fire.
 We cannot prevent men desirous Fl a labor vote from making speeches fN favor of excluding any kind of competition. This does nat seem to have gone beyond irresponsible agi tation to which no attention can be paid by this government or shouli be by the people of Jajan. The trou- ble about schools appears to have arisen from the fact that the schools which the Japanese had .eaded were destroyed at the time of the earth quake. and have not been replaced.
 You may assure the government or Japan in most positive terms that the government of the United States will not for a moment entertain the idle {. of any treatment towards the Japan ese people other than accorded to the people of the most friendly Europea nation and that there is no reason to suppose that the people of the United States desire our government to take any different course. The President has directed the department of jus tice tn make immediate and full in vestigation and take such steps as the facts call for to maintain all treaty rights of Japanese subjects in the spirit of the friendship and re spect which our people have so long entertained
 "The purely local anl occasional nature of the San Francisco school question should be appreci"ted when the Japanese remember that Japanes" students are welcomed at hundreds af schools and colleges all over tn; country. (Signed) Root.

snecial to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
London, Aug. 11-With the wind-up
of the regatta week at Cowes, King
Edward is preparing to leave for his
annual summer soiourn on the con-
tinent. 1t is expected that he will
depart early in the coming week, with
Marienbad, Bohemia, as his objective
point. II is announced that he will
stay, as usual, at the Hotel Weimar,
for three weeks. 1t is probable, how
ever, that this plan will be modified
so that the king may hold his much
discussed meeting with Emperor VIII
liam at Hamburg at an early date.
The political press, in view OF the
talked-of isolation of Germany among
the powers of Europe at the present
time, is seeking to attach great sig
nificance to this meeting between the
two rulers. In semi-official circles the
meeting is not regarded as of any po-
litical significance About the only
conclusion that can reasonably be
drawn from it, in the minds of persons
usually well informed, is that the per
sonal differences that have separated
King Edward and his imperial nephew
for some time have been patched up
and that the GOODNESS between them no
longer exists.
