MILITANT NIPPON
IS VERY ANGRY.

TOXIC, Oct. 21.-The antf-Japanese
agitation In Sam. Francisco, which was
at first received here quietly, being
considered as purely the work of labor
interests has .cuIminated into stormy
indignation throughout all grades of
Japanese society on the receipt of news
that Japanese children have been COM
PEELED to enter public schools In Sam
Francisco devoted exclusively TO Orien-
tai children.
Some of the newspar rs are very
angry. calling the action OF the san
Francisco school authorities an insult
The Japanese Hochi in its leader this
morning advocates reprisals. More
moderate papers ridicule the action as
an anomaly. against the pronounced
humanitarianism of the United states.
Those well informed, while indignant,
are trusting to President Roosevelt's
moral courage and influence to nip a
further growth of the unfortunate agi-
tation and not to allow any thing to
endanger the traditional good win be-
tween the two countries.

to have been inhaled by Frank Thomp-

Thompson spilled the fever cultures
last week while arranging things in

of yials and receptaeles in DR.. Ward S

virulency and these all are supposed
to be kept in such a way as to be

There was nothing TO II and every
empIoye in sight reached for the sky.
Out in the glare of the electric light
they could see a strange horse and
wagon and another visitor covering the
covering ore sorter with a sawed-oG
shotgun.
There could be no two guesses to
the intruders, and the engineer re-
spOnded with alacrity when three of the
men stepped on the waiting cage and
down TO the 220-fOOt level There is
where all the fancy hiEh-grade stun
that runs $50 to the pound Is stored in
sacks under guard night and day.
AT this level the three men, already
provided with candles. stepped into the
station and herded the station keepers
before them until they had picked up
the rest Of the miners on that level.
Then they bent their steps toward the
crosscut where the sacked ore is stored.
They kept their prisoners before them
and apparently knew Just where to go.
despite the fact that none but employees
are ever allowed below ground in this
treasure-house.
When the crosscut was reached the
guard on duty would have showed
'@ght but for the fact that. his fellow
employees were used as shields against
his gun, and, realizing that resistance
was useless, he too put up his hands
and with the others lined up against
the wall Of the drift. While one ban

lugged away until they had loaded five
sacks OF rich ore on the cage.
Then the three backed away. warn

Here four Of the bandits loaded the
sacks in the wagon and. with pointed
words Of advice TO the top men. they
drove away. 1t was fully five minutes
before the men recovered sufficiently to
give the alarm. and by that time all
traces Of the treasure-laden wagon and
its occupants were lost.
The robbery was committed under
the glare Of electric light. with two
other mines working not a hundred

Following a clew supplied
by a woman, a squad of po-
lice under command of Cap
tain of Detectives Thomas
Duke, yesterday morning at
dawn arrested four men for
the daylight murder and rob-
berry of October 3 at the
Kirnrnon Ginko, the Japan
ese Bank at O'Farrell and
Webster streets, in which
Vice President H. Murakato
was killed, Paying Teller A.
Saki seriously injured and
the institution looted Of
$4,000. The men taken into
custody are three brothers,
Richard, John and William
Meyers, and Richard Doyle.
A sister of the three brothers,
Edna Meyers, was also taken
into custody.
So strong is the evidence
against the prisoners that
Chief Dinan is convinced of
their guilt. The woman who
supplied the clew heard the
men plan the robbery, their
buggy has been identified as the one
seen in front of the bank at noon on
the day of the robbery. and they them
selves have confessed to long list OF
petty crimes
After sweating the four men and
the girl the police made the statement
that they had almost. enough evidence
at the present moment to convict. 1t
is believed that the girl will eventually
break down and confess all.
The first line on the case was OBJ
