The Organization Fund.

Denver. July 3.--There was lively
discussion In the convention of the
Western Federation Of Miners today
when graft was charged against the
heads of the union at Park city, Utah,
following the presentation of bill for
s5,S& by that union. 1t was stated
that Seoy Berilc of the Park City union
had received money as dues for which
he had recelpted ON the union cards
but which did not get into the organi-
cation fund. This placed the union
badly in debt and bills contracted could
not be paid. The convention agreed TO
pay them.

The main issue before the convention

fought was the reatiiliation with the

members only nominally belong, be-
cause of the trouble at the last Indus

JAPANESE SUITS.
City VIII Claim Was no Mob, Damage
Done by Two or Three Persons.

San Francisco, July 4.--Referring to the
suit brought yesterday against the city in
behalf of the proprietors of the Japanese
restaurant and bathouse alleged to have
been wrecked by mob on May % Asst
City Atty. Baggett said:
THE defense OF the city will be that
whatever injury was done to the property
of the Japanese was done by two or three
persons before a mob, in the sense OF the
law, had formed. The city will also claim
that there was no riot, but will lay great
stress upon the contention that the dam
age was done by few persons before II
was possible for a mob to have collected.
United States Atty. Devlin has received
n letter from Atty.-Gen. Bonaparte ask
ing him TO make an Investigation and re-
port Immediately on the action of the
San francisco officials In refusing to
grant licenses to employment agencies
conducted by Japanese.
He at once began the investigation and
