MANY VISITORS IN JANSEN PARK.
The Driveway Is Popular More Funds
 Needed to Complete Work.

Janssen park had many visitors Sunday despite the fact that the grounds were very damp from the effects of the heavy rains of the early morning. All day long people who were riding took ad- vantage of the pretty little drive way that circles near the center ot the park.
 Merchants have placed orders for more than 50 seats which will be placed in the park as soon as they arrive. These are to be five feet in length and will each com. fortably seat four persons and will add much to the comfort of those who desire to rest amid the pleasant surroundings.
 The heavy rain Sunday morn- ing washed the dirt somewhat in the vicinity of the spring, the ground lying in such manner as to throw a large volume of water in that diEection, but Father Gal lagher says that each such down. pour but helps to show the steps necessary to overcome the diff culty.
 The city council in the begin ming voted $500 for the park im- provement and the citizens have since donated close to Sl ,000, and it is needless to say that every effort has been in de to make every dollar do as much work as possible. There is, however, need for more work, and 1t is hoped that means can be secured for that purpose and that the work so we'll begun can be well fu- ished.

TIE IAPS MAY RETAuAIE|
Influential Men in Japan Said to be Seriously Contemplating Move
 Against Americans.
FRISCO DISCRIMINATION THE CAUSE
impression Growing in Tokio That Re. cent Demonstrations Are Outcome of Deeply Laid Plot Based on Racial Hatred-Danser Point Has Been Nearly Reached.

Tokio, July 2.-The impression Is growing here that the anti-Japanese feeling and demonstrations in San Francisco are the outcome of a deeply laid plan based upon racial hatred and the recent developments apparently support this impression. The newspa. pes here which had special cores. pondents of American nationality in San Francisco have ceased to receive news from them. No explanation was offered for the discontinuance of news despatches, but the impression here is that pressure was brought to bear upon the correspondents in San Fran. cisco not to serve the Japanese papers The fear is expressed that the danger point will soon be reached, although war is not dreamed of. the mutual feel ings of good will and friendship will be seriously alienated if prompt meas ures are not taken to allay the gen. eral indignation here against the latest discrimination in San Francisco which, according to Japanese conten tion, is fragrant violation of treaty rights.
 Apparently certain measures of re taliation are seriously being contem plated by influential men in political and business circles. Just what action will be taken has not yet developed but boycott against American goods 1t is believed, will certainly be one of the steps taken.

STANDARD TURNED DOWN.
Company overruIed by Judge Landis In Chicago.

Chicago, June 27.--Judge Landis. in the United States district court Wednesday refused new trial to the Standard oil company recently con- victed of making shipments at illegal rates between Whiting, Ind, and East St. Louis.
 After the denial of the motion ask ing a new trial, Attorney John S. Miller, for the oil company entered a motion in arrest of judgment. This was promptly overruled.
 Mir Miller then asked the court to elect a particular count in the indict- ment on which to base the final judge ment of the court. This was also de- nied by Judge Landis.
 The court then announced that he was desirous of obtaining information regarding the financial resources of the Standard oil company and or dered J. H. Howard, former auditor of the Chicago and Alton railroad to take the witness stand.
 The attorneys for the oil company objected, but the court insisted and Mir Howard took the stand.
 Judge Landis was. unable to obtain from Mir. Howard much information regarding the finances of the oil con- pany. After briefly examining two clerks of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad concerning oil tariffs Of the Alton road. the court ordered subpoenas issued for the officers Of the Standard Oil and Union Tank line companies.
 It was left to the discretion of United States District Attorney Sims to subpoena such individuals as he chose out of rhe list of officials mentioned by the court Under the order of Judge Landis, the district attorney may summon John D' Rockefeller, H. H. Rogers, or any other man connected with the Stand ard oil company whom he may de Sire to question.
