JAPANESE WERE
NOT DISCRIMI. .
MATED AGAINST

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The fact
that there is no apparent discrimina-
ton as a race against the Japanese
who made application in San Fran
cisco to establish intelligence offices,
and who ere refused this privilege,
has been received with evident sat
isfaction by the officials of the en-
bassy here and they say this being
ME case there is nothing for them
to do, nor have they any comment TO
make. A dispatch has been received
at the embassy from the Japanese
consul's representative in San Fran
cisco. which, after saying that the
application from the Japanese to con-
duct intelligence offices had been re-
turned, conveyed the information
that they would not be entertained
by the police commissioners, who had
decided such establishments could be
conducted by American citizens only.
This, in the opinion of the of1clals
here, seems to put an end to any con-
troversy and naturally Japan cannot
have any complaint so long as there
is no discrimination against her cltl-
zens. 1t was said at the embassy
that no communication had been re-
ceived from the home government
which required any diplomatic rep
resentation to the state department.

END OF HAY.
WOOD TRIAL
In SIGHT
May Succeed IN Finishing With All
Witnesses Except Haywood and
Meyer This Week.

BOISE, Idaho, July 1.-The prin-
! cipal witness for the defense in the
Haywood trial today was Morris
Friedman, who was formerly en-
ployed as a stenographer by the
Pinkerton Detective agency at Dem
yer. He was recalled to the stand to
identify some reports that have been
introduced in evidence concerning
the employment of operators by the
Pinkerton agency to join the Western
Federation of Miners. On cross
examination Mr.. Friedman would not
admit that he had stolen the papers
and would not allow Senator Borah
to call him "a Pinkerton." He insist
ed that 1t was not stealing to take in
formation that had been obtained by
the fraud and deceit of secret SER
vice men, and declared that the pub
lie service which he performed in in
forming the people of the methods of
the agency, fully justified anything
that he had done.
He said that had he known this
trial was coming up he would have
taken many more letters and reports.
Senator Borah pressed him to tell
just what records there were in the
Pinkerton Office at Denver bearing
directly on this case, and while the
witness said he could not tell him of
any particular one, he remembered
many letters written by Detective
Mcfarland, in which all manner of
crimes were laid at the door of the
Western Federation of Miners.
Another interesting witness was
James l.. Wallace, an attorney of
Cripple Creek, who served with the
militia first as private and then
as lieutenant during the strike of
10000. He related several in
stances as tending to show the mis-
use of the power of the militia by
the mine owners, gave the criminal
records of some of the gun fighters
imported by the mine owners, told
of the working of the card system,
recited the circumstances in connec-
ton with the looting of the union
stores and newspaper Office and
swore that he saw K c. Sterlang,
chief detective for the mine owners,
fire the first shot in the Victor. riot
the day the Independence station was
blown up.
M. E. White, an organizer for the
Western Federation, was the last
witness and brought the rial partici-
pants back to good humor with the
drollest kind of a tale of his arrest
by the militia with all the pomp and
ceremonies of war times, the activi-
ties of the vermin in the "bull pen."
and his happy release by brother
Woodman of the World, who COM
manded the militia.
Counsel for the defense said today
that they might succeed in finishing
with all of their witnesses except
Haywood and Meyer by the end of
this week. Their plan is to reserve
those two principals for the last.
The defense has prepared its draft
of instruction, the state is working
up its rebuttal case, so the end of the
trial approaches.

WESTERN
FEDERATION
OF Miners
Adopt Amendment Whereby Two
Thirds Vote Necessary Before
Strike Is Called.

DENVER, July 1.-The Western
Federation of Miners in convention
today adopted the report continuing
the Cripple Creek strike until the
card system is abolished.
A long discussion ensued as to
whether clearance cards issued by
the Cripple Creek local to proba-
tionary members shall be recognized
in other locals. The claim was made
by delegates from Butte. Montana,
and Goldfield, Nevada, that many
present federation members in Grip
pie Creek and Telluride, Colorado,
were former strike-breakers.
The delegates voted down the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
admitting cooks, bartenders, dish
washers and such classes of laborers
as are only indirectly connected with
mining into the mining department
of the Industrial Workers of the
World or the Western Federation of
Miners. This action was taken after
long debate.
An amendment to the constitution
was adopted whereby two-thirds
vote instead of three-fourths of the
members of local union shall be
necessary before strike is decided
upon. The feature of tomorrow s
session will be the election of Off
GERS.

NEW YORK. July Several
minor riots occurred in this city to-
day, when the health department at
tempted to put in operation the gar
bage carts. the drivers of which are
on a strike
Police Commissioner Dugan was
seriously injured by the explosion of
what the police believe was a bomb.
while escorting two cars on 18th
street today The sergeant was
blown several feet. He was taken
to a hospital suffering from shock
and decorations. Several of the
drivers were badly beaten by strike
sympathizers before they could be
rescued by the police.
On the East Side streets tonight
conditions are almost unbearable, as
hot weather has added to the Sc
robustness of the situation In places
the heaps of garbage practically, fill
the streets and traffic is interfered
with.
Attempts to dispose of accumula-
lions by burning have been largely
unsuccessful.
But it is not alone the East Side
that suffers. The entire city tonight
is affected by odors. The health de-
partment is still struggling to make
some impression on the mountainous
heaps of refuse, but even If the full
force returns to work tomorrow. 1t

work before normal conditions are

NO ESPECIAL
CHANGE IN
SITUATION
Telegraph Companies Claim Strike is
neutrality-suspicious. Say it Has
just Begun.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The
strike is over" said General Super
intendent Storror of the Postal Tele-
graph company today.
1.-THE strike is over" said Manager
O'Brien of the Western Union office
in the Ferry building.
"The strike has just begun" said
President Small of the Commercial
Photographers union.
These three laconic statements
adequately describe the attitude of
the opposing parties and give hint
as to their future action. Although
the officials of both companies here
in San Francisco are but subordi-
mates, and could not of their own vo-
lition take any steps toward settle
ment, it is not thought likely that
any such steps will be taken while
the local officials report that they
are handling the business without
unreasonable delay.
The operators, on the other hand,
state that they will carry on the fight
even if the companies find a man for
every key, and they declare they are
prepared to stay out six months, IL
necessary. Their leaders, however,
say that they expect to win in much
less time, and president Small yester-
day prophesied that the lightning
would strike soon in an unexpected
place. but did not explain his re-
mark

PUBLIC TO
Be GIVEN
FULL DETAILS
HARTMAN SYSTEM TO GIVE
COMPLETE INFORMATION TO
THE PUBLIC.
PUBLICITY AS TO The CAUSE
Outsiders to BE Present mt Inquiry
Into Accidents and Make For
NAL Reports.

NEW YORK, July IA policy of
informing the public of the details of
all accidents on all railroads COM
prising the Hartman system was put
into effect today by order of q. II.
Hartman, according to official an
nouncement by the Union Pacific. 1t
is said that Mr.. Hartman has or
dered that all reports shall be made
and promptly given to the press con-
corning all accidents on the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific systems
and on the Oregon Short Line.
II is also announced that it has
been decided, as an experiment, to
invite outsiders of local reputation
and standing to be present and to
participate in the hearings of the
company's board of inquiry into acct
dents making formal reports either
agreeing or disagreeing with the
findings of the board
The statement quotes the reports
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion to the effect that over 10 per
cent of the serious collisions on
American railroads during the past
five years were due to negligence of
trainmen and engineers. On lines
protected by block signals, 94 per
cent of the collisions are attributed
by the commission to negligence of
trainmen and signal operators.
The plan to make public full de-
tails concerning accidents follows
suggestion made by julius krutt-
schnitt director of maintenance and
operation of the Hartman lines, who
said:
Personal responsibility for acct
dents, whether of officers or laborers,
should be known to the public. We
must bring about closer observance
of the rules and greater respect for
danger signals than we now get from
our employees. This can be done only
by the widest publicity of the details
of accidents"
The Union Pacific also announces
that it's steel rails for delivery next
year will be made by the open hearth
process, which it is expected will de-
cidedly lessen the number of break
ages.

MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS TO
BE SPENT
I'm Order That the Cost of Steel Pro.
duction May BE Reduced to
Minimum.

PITTSBURG, July THAT the
cost of production of steel may be.
reduced few cents ton, millions of
dollars are to be spent in new ma
chinery at the plants of the United
States Steel corporation and almost
a hundred engines are to be rele-
gated practically TO do this work. AL
Gary, Ind, where a new plant is TO
be built, twenty Or more of the new
engines will be installed to furnish
power and to blow the furnaces.
These engines are said to cost about
$150,O00 and the cost for engines
alone at this plant will be about
$3,000,0O0. Besides this outlay, there
will be great expenditure for the
vast system of monster pipes for car
rying the gas from the blast furnace
and for it's publication before it can
be used in the engines.
The two engines used in the ex-
periments at the Edgar Thompson
plants, which represent an invest
ment of $3,OO0,0OO, are employed
in the blowing" of q single 500-ton
furnace. Riveted steel pipe one
hundred inches in diameter, on the
Dhois vi WHlCu Ills is Dullt, Is d large
factor of the expense. A compli-
Gated arrangement for cleaning the
gas also adds to the great outlay nee
essary for these improvements, and
when this new method will be adopt
ed, gas will be the only fuel used.
This will do away with the ten or
twelve thousand tons of coal that is
now used each month for this pur-
pose, in addition to what gas is now
used. No coal will be needed for
the gas from the furnaces, refined
in the washers, which are part of
the huge pipeage system and eX-
ploded in the cylinders of the enor-
nous engines, will blow the furnaces
and produce the electric power used
in the rail mills
