JAPAN WOULD DRIVE
/. OUR SHIPS FROM PACIFIC
Merchant Marine League
Sends Warning of Dire
Design

striking Our Flag on the Pacific
is the title of pamphlet issued by the
Merchant Marine League of the United
States, the purpose of which Is to crys-
tallize public sentiment In favor of a
Federal subsidy of steamships flying
the American flag and plying between
the United States and foreign ports.
The pamphlet was inspired by the an
nouncement that Boston-owned steam
ships were about to be withdrawn from
the Puget Sound Philippine run, being
no longer able to compete with the sub
sidized Japanese steamships, which, in
all likelihood, would be called up to
carry supplies for the quartermaster's
department to Manila. After discus
sing this condition, the pamphlet con-
tinues:
''The Japanese Government proposes
to break down every American steam
ship line to drive every American mer-
chant ship from the Pacific Ocean. 1t
is breaking down this Boston steam
ship line first, because there is no rail-
road system behind it. The line is
owned by Individual shipowners of New
England. But James j. Hill. with all
his wealth and resources, has declared
that in face of present conditions he
will never build and sail another ship
under the flag of the United States.
Now what does Congress propose to
do about this? Is it prepared to strike
the American flag on the whole Pacific,
and turn the Philippines and Hawaii
frankly over to the Japanese? They
already outmatch our naval strength
on the Pacific more than two to one.
They have only to destroy our mer-
chant steamship lines to win the abso-
lutte mastery of that ocean.
Congress is told that the immigra-
tion of Japanese coolies is a menace to
the country Then how about Japanese
control of our lines of communication
with the Philippines? How about giv-
ing to subsidized Japanese ships the
carrying of the government dispatches,
the rations Of our troops and the am
munition for their rifles and artillery ?
Is there another government on earth
that would dream of thus proclaiming
to the world its own humiliating inn
potence?
This is a question which has got to
be answered, and has got to be answer
ed before March 3 next by the vote of
the House of Representatives.

Five persons were seriously injured
two perhaps fatally, at Sixteenth and
Folsom streets last evening by the col
lision between car 709 of the Folsom
street line and car 1924 of the Eighth
avenue and Clement-street system.
AT Sixteenth street the Eighth-ave-
nue. line rounds a curve into Folsom
street, but the cars are supposed to
give the right of way to the Folsom
street vehicles. Motorman Scott Pugh,
on car 1924. was in a hurry to make up
time" lost on the down trip and did
not obey rules. He shot ahead into
Folsom street and struck the other car,
which was plainly in sight of all the
passengers. Both vehicles were crowd
ed There was a terrific noise of
smashing glass when the two cars
came together The steps of both cars
were ripped off and the standing boards
whereon passengers hung were splin-
tered. 1t seemed a miracle that more
than five were not badly hurt Several
persons. who did not give their names,
were slightly bruised and cut by flying
glass and splinters.
A hurry call was sent in for the am
bulance and the sufferers were removed
to the City and County Hospital. Scott
Pugh was placed under arrest at the
Mission police station and charged with
battery. He was subsequently released
on the usual bail of $40, furnished by
the company.

SETTLES TWO GRUDGES
Mexican Shoots One Man and Rides
Ten Miles to Kill Another

TRINIDAD, Colo. Feb. 17.--A double
tragedy was enacted this evening. when
J. Tafeya, a Mexican, shot and NOR
tally wounded Juan Griege, at Segundo,
sixteen miles from here, and then rode
ten miles to wreak his vengeance on
another man at Sopris, six miles west
of this city At Sopris he shot and
killed an American named Grivery.
The murderer at once gave himself up.
He was brought to Trinidad tonight
and lodged in the County Jail.

ports, issuing only a stated number
each month, a majority of the appli-
cants saying that their destination was
Hawaii. Without doubt the number
of Japanese taking out passports to
Hawaii will fall off as soon as the
amendment is enacted into law, but
whether or not the Japanese Govern
ment will adhere to its decision to limit
the issuance of papers to those desiring
to come to Sam Francisco directly is
a question.
AS pointed out by Senator Tillman
during the hot debate of last week.
the contract labor law is effective in
name only. Japanese who heretofore
have gone to Hawaii In order to per-
feet their contracts for employment on
the mainland will now save the trouble
of the stop-off and come to San Fran
cisco directly. Mind reading has not
as yet developed to that stage where
the purposes of men may be discerned,
and that the incoming horde will be
able to satisfactorily answer all ques-
tions put is evident to any one familiar
with the methods of the Chinese be-
fore the enactment of the exclusion
law.
