San Francisco, Cal, October 16, 1906.
To the Chief of Police, City and County
of San Francisco
Dear Sir: Your attention is respect
fully directed to the fact that the CooNj
and Walters Unicn of this city, assisted
and encouraged by members of the Car
penters, Masons' and Cabmens unions,
are endeayoriEg to enforce boycott
agains. Japanese restaurants. Your at
tention is particularly called to the fol-
Lowing:
White Star Restaurant, at the corner
of Thig1 and Brannan streets.
Grand Restaurant, 403 Third street.
Port Arthur Restaurant, on Third
street.
Golden Bay Restaurant, on Third
Anglosia ~ Restaurant, or Third
street.
Horse Shoe Restaurant, Folsom, near
Eighth.
Since the I'd ofthe present month these
restaurants, which are conducted by
Japanese, have been subjected to almost
constant annoyance from the source
mentioned. The boycotters linger about
the restaurants and accost all customers
who approach, giving them small match
boxes bearing the words white men
and women, patronize your own race.
When this is not effective they frequent
ly stand right in the doors of the res
taurants and try to prevent customers
from going in On a number of occa-
s ons the windows of the restaurants
have beel stoned, or groups have gath
cred about the entrances in threaten .
ing manner for the purpose OF frighten-
iES customers away.
AS result of these offensive methods
the business of the japanese establish
ments ha greatly dropt and it is feared
that they will be unable to stand such
intolerable harassing unless your depart
Iuent shall find means to protect them.
L respectfully direct your attention to
the matter and venture the hope that you
may find it possible to so control the dis
orderly elements who are causing this
trouble that the persons and property OF
Japanese business men in this city may
be made secure.
Trusting that some prompt action may
be taken, | beg to remain.
Yours respectfully
X. Uyeno, Consul of Japan.

Sir: Complaint is made by the Japan

noyed and in some instances assaulted by
white men on the streets in your district,
particularly in the neighborhood bound
ed by Cough Fillmore, O'Farrell and
California streets.

Hon. James l.. Gallagher, Acting Mayor
of the City and County of San Fran
cisco:
Dear Sir-I am just in receipt of your
communication of the 9th in. with copy
of the letter from the Japanese consul,
relative to the alleged assaults on his
countrymen and the annoyances reported
to him by restaurant keepers thru the
acts of boycotters.
in reply, beg to say that numerous
complaints have been received from Mr..
Uyeno during the past three months on
these same subjects, all of which were
given prompt attention, per reports of
the officers, copies of which are inclosed
herewith for your information.
So that you may be fully advised on
this question, so far as the police depart
ment has been involved | take the lib
erty of handing you herewith copies Of
all correspondence had with the Japan
ese consul relative thereto.
In conclusion will stat that. SO far as
the assaults are concerned, instructions
were issued to company commanders to
have patrolmen give protection to the
/ Japanese on their respective beats. As
to the restaurant keepers, an officer was
assigned at each of the Japanese res
taurants located in the burned district
of the city, where. 1t was claimed, the
annoyance was being carried on, with
instructions to be at such places during
meal times and to see that no violation
of the law in any particular was COM
mtted
owing TO the unsettled conditions that
have existed since the fire. 1t has been
n very hard matter to afford particular
attention to any one nationality, as you,
as we'll as Mr.. Tyeno, must certainly
know that no race has been exempt from
annovances as we'll al assaults, such as
he complains of.
Hoping that I have made myself TN
derstood In this matter, and assuring
YOU that Mr. Uyenos people, as we'll as
all others, will be furnished with all the
protection it is possible for this depart
ment to afford. I remain, your obedient
servant, j. II. OMAN,
