RACIAL HATRED
Said 10 Be Responsible For Anti Japanese Feeling in San
 Francisco
RETALIATION MEASURE

Tokio, July 1.-The impression is growing here that the anti-Japanese feeling demonstrations in San Fran cisco are the outcome of deeply laid plan based upon a racial hatred and the new developments apparently support this impression. The news papers here which had special cor respondents of American nationality in San Francisco have ceased to re- ceive news from them. No excuse was offered for the discontinuance of news dispatches but the impression here is that pressure was brought to bear upon the correspondents in San Francisco not to serve the Japanese papers. The fear is expressed that the danger point will soon be reach ed. Although war Is not dreamed of, the mutual feelings of good will and friendship will be seriously alienat- ed if prompt measures are not taken to allay the general indignation here against the latest discrimination in San Francisco which according to Japanese contention Is a fragrant vio- lation of treaty rights. .
 Apparently certain measures of re- taliation are seriously being contem- plated by influential men in political and business circles. Just what sc- tion will be taken has not yet de- veloped but boycott against Ameri- can goods 1t is believed will certainly be one of the steps taken.

FREAK sTATUARY TO ORDER.
Sculptor Tells of Queer Orders Given
 Him by His Patrons.

A sculptor was talking about freak statuary. T turn out a lot of it." he said. Not that like to. I have to. So many of our millionaires have un- couth tastes. made last fall portrait busts of western millionaire and his wife. The wife wears spectacles, and nothing would do but must put spec tacles on her bust. I argued, but in vain. That bust stands in the million aires spacious library to-day and spec. tacles rest on its nose. did last month bust in colors. bust of a young girl. The marble hair I gilded, the marble eyes I painted blue, and the marble lips and cheeks fecked with red. A hideous thing, yet the family was immensely pleased. The freakiest of my freak statues stands in Boston garden. It Is the statue of the owners grandfather, an old Presbyterian divine. The aged man stands in the center of bed of jon quils, and out of the top of his plug hat jet of water spurts, falling into marble basin that he holds in his hands, a basin wherein swim half dozen goldfish. The idea of treating ones grandfather like that!"

Proyocation Enouob.

A deaf old gentleman dined with a family where grace was always said. When the guests were seated the host bowed his head and began to repeat the accustomed verse in a subdued, reverent tone. "Eh? Whats that?" demanded the deaf old gentleman. who sat beside him. The host smiled pa- tiently and began again. in a louder, more deprecatory voice. Speak a lit- tie louder. 1 don't catch what you say" the old gentleman persisted. A low ripple of laughter went round the table. The host, his face crimson with embarrassment. raised his voice and repeated the verse. The deaf gentleman did his best to hear, but failed. He placed one hand upon his hosts arm. What did you say?" he demanded irascibly. The host cast him an angry glance. "D-n 1t. I'm saying grace" he snapped.-Lippincott's Mag. azine.

POLICE CALLED
Rows and Riots in New York on Account of the Ice Hand-
 lers Strike
POLICE WERE STONED

New York, July 1.-Police re- serves were called to quell several street disorders early to-day when the American Ice company made an effort to break the strike of the ice drivers. The company hired several score of strike breakers and issued an ultimatum that If the strikers did not return to work to-day the new men would be put in their places. When two wagons, driven by strike breakers, drove from the compauy's pier on the East river early to-day crowd of men set upon the drivers. Clubs and bricks were hurled and the police charged the crowd which final ly fell back. Two policemen were then assigned to each wagon. More trouble occurred on Avenue c, when a score of men set upon driver but were beaten off by the police. One hundred and fifty police reserves have been detailed to prevent disord- CT at the company's pier, where the ice is discharged from the boats.
 The ice company declares to-day that the strike Is broken and that it can employ all the men needed to fill positions of the strikers. The company says there is no likelihood of an ice famine.
 Brooklyn agents of the ice con- pany said that they had sent out about 200 ice wagons to-day in place of the 300 usually in service in .hat borough and that they were manned either by old employees who did not strike or by strike breakers.
 One of the wagons on which the driver was accompanied by a special policeman was stoned by a crowd of one hundred persons.

CHAOS IN A FERRY HOUSE.
Young Man Got Even with Crowd
 Which Pushed Him Aside.

A big crowd was waiting in the St. George ferry house. Staten island. for the New York boat, all more or less bored and listless, when young man came in and wandered idly about the room, says the New York Press. He finally stopped in front of penny-in- the-slot phonograph machine and dropped in coin. A lively tune i'm mediately started up. The crowd woke up and several loafers collected in front of the machine in order to enjoy the strains more thoroughly. More of the bored ones joined the collection till, to the surprise of the young man, he was elbowed out of the way and stood on the outside. He stared at the crowd in some resent ment. Then a thought seemed to strike him. He fished up bunch of change from his pockets and walking around the room, calmly proceeded to start every machine in the place go- ing, including two banjo-picking ma chimes. The bedlam that ensued was indescribable. With grin of triumph the youth left the scene of his villainy and went outside to light cigarette. He had his revenge.

NEARING END
Lawyers For Haywood Expect 10 Have All Evidence For De-
 fense in This Week
SENSATIONS PROMISED

Boise, Idaho, July 1.-The de- fense in the trial of William Hay wood began the second week of di- rect examination of it's witnesses to- day, when Morris Friedman, the young man who was at one time the stenographer in the Denver office of the Pinkerton detective agency. was recalled to the stand. The court will first decide whether copies of the reports of the Pinkerton opera tives" will be admitted in evidence. These reports do not, 1t is said, con tain anything of particular moment, as showing anything more than tht routine proceedings of the union meetings into which the detectives had secured admission by represent ing themselves as union miners and by joining the Western Federation. One of these detectives became re- cording secretary and another had charge of the relief work during the strike.
 The Pinkerton reports are not in troduced. counsel for the defense states, for the purpose of showing that the Pinkerton detectives, who, they claim, were employed by the mine owners association, were en- gagged in anything criminal. but in order to show that there did exist a general conspiracy among the mine owners and the citizens alliance to secure the secrets of the union and frustrate their plans for continuing the work of the Western Federation. Friedman has been in Boise for some days and was summoned by the de- fense because of statements mace by him in book published by com- pany devoted to the interests of so- cialism. He is looked upon by the defense as one of the chief witnesses to prove a conspiracy on the part of the mine owners association and others to exterminate the Western Federation of Miners.
 The defense expects to conclude the direct testimony this week. Counsel for the state now say that the rebuttal evidence will not be lengthy. They expect to bring wit nesses to show that Orchard was at Wardner on the day of the explosion at the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine. Mir Darrow in his opening statement said that the defense would show that Harry Orchard never went to the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine, but that he was "pur- suing his avocation as a shoestring gambler" at the time of the explos- ion.
 In pursuance of this promise three witnesses have sworn that Harry Or chard was gambling in Mullen on the day of the explosion The prosecu- ton will attack the testimony of these witnesses. as 1t goes to the very heart of Orchards story and it Is vital to the states case to show that Orchard told the truth in all its major particulars.
 The closing of the case, which will probably be within the next two weeks, will be filled with sensational developments if the promises of both sides are made good. There is an increase of activity and many sensa- tional reports are being circulated, but on investigation prove to be without any good foundation.
 Before the resumption of the trial this morning Judge Wood transacted some routine business of his court and then the defense called Morris Friedman once more to the stand.
