JAPANESE WORKED UP AGAIN

Only Their Confidence In President
Roosevelt Prevents Them From
Becoming Excited In Toxic.

Toxic, May 2S.-The Japanese
press Is still generally calm and re-
served over the apparently unprovok-
ed attack upon Japanese In San Fran
cisco. But It is only out Of difference
to President Roosevelt and his gov
eminent and the confidence reposed
in them that public expression Of re-
sentiment Is withheld. Even the most
conservative and hopeful fear that
repetition Of a similar occurrence may
have serious results upon the rela-
tons OF both countries, at present
the firmest friendliness Ii still ex-
pressed. It is confidently hoped that
the Washington government has de-
cided to take measures that will pre-
vent repetltions Of assaults and at
lacks upon Japanese.

MAY nor ADVANCE THE RATE.
Rallroade Are Enlolned From lnersas-
Ing Charge on Lumber 70 Aehars
In Phenomenal Prosperity"

washington. Nay as.--A decision
favorable 70 the interstate commerce
commission was rendered By the su-
preme court Of the United States
Monday in the case Of the Southern
Railway company versus q Georgia
lumber firm, H. H. Tiff 9 Co., involv-
ing the right Of the commission to
prohibit the railroads from advanc-
ing freight rates on pine lumber from
the south to Ohio river points. The
opinion was handed down by Justice
McKenna. The suit was the result
of an order by the commission com
manding the railroad company to de-
sist from collecting an advance Of two
cents per hundred on lumber shipped
from the southern states to Ohio riv-
or points because the new rate was
unreasonable and unjust" The com
pany appealed from this ruling to the
United States circuit court, but this
court and the court Of appeals for the
fifth circuit sustained the commits
sion's order and the trial court entered
/ decree enjoining the road against
he enforcement Of the advanced rate.
The decision rendered Monday affirms
III Of the previous rulings. The case
has attracted much attention. 1t was |
only test suit as the advance in rates |
vas made by all the southern roads
ind one Of the charges was that the |
'oads had acted in concert to raise
PRICES contrary to the antitrust law.
t was shown that some Of the roads
lad not complained Of the old rate
IS unremunerative, but had explained
he advance as in pursuance Of a de-
ire to share in "the phenomenal
of the country"
The decision was regarded by the
interstate commerce commission as
realty strengthening Its hands.

MUST MEET AGAIN
Constitutional Convention Of OklahO.
ma Must Reassemble and Pass
New Election Ordinance.
IS OPINION or GOV. FRANTz
All Efforts 70 Secure an Expression
Of the Presidents views on the
! Constitution Have
Failed.

Washington, May 2S.--Gov. Frant'
of Oklahoma, who has been in Wash
1ngton for ten days In connection with
matters bearing on the work of the
Oklahoma constitutional convention,
left for home Monday night. He was
at the White house Monday but missed
seeing the president who had gone to
Mount Vernon.
Governor Frantz said he expects
the constitutional convention to be
again called together, as the time
provided for in that instrument in
which the governors proclamation
calling an election to ratlfy 1t should
be issued had passed, and a new cleo
Tion ordinance would have to be enact.
cd before anything could be done,
The trouble has BEEN" said the gov
ernor, that the convention attempted
20 legislate for all the needs Of the
proposed new state instead Of adopt.
ing simple constitution leaving to
the legislature the work Of passing
laws which properly belong to It.
The members Of the convention can
not expect the president to Indicate
what he finds Objectionable In the CON
ntitution."
A. w. Ledbetter and others who
have been in Washington on matters
connected with the proposed consti-
tuition for Oklahoma, called upon the
attorney general again Monday after
noon and renewed the expression Of
their desire to obtain an intlmation
of the presidents Views regarding the
new constitution. The attorney gener.
a replied that It was a serious ques.
flon whether the law contemplated as
appropriate the exertion Of any in.
Huence by way Of advice or otherwise
on the part Of the president tending
70 affect the form Of the proposed
constitution, and, also whether even
e there might be no legal objection
70 such couse on his part, It might
not be undesirable because liable to
misconstruction and perhaps to mis-.
apprehension. The attorney general.
however. promised 10 consider the
questions carefully, and to give due
weight to all that had been said, in
any advice he might be called uon TO
