JAP ANESE ARE
SEEING THINGS
One Paper Says the Time for
Action Has Been
Reached.

Toxic, June 13.-Several papers this
morning print photographs of the
wreckage caused by the attacks on
japanese restaurants in San Francisco.
This appeal to the eye, coupled with
strong words describing the sufferings
of cOmpatriOts, has further inflamed
popular indignation.
The Nichi NiChi, commenting on the
photographs, says:
1.-The situation is doubtless grave and
calls for prompt measures on the part
of both governments"
The Mainichi, published at Osaka,
and claiming to have a circulation of
250, 600, expresses anger today at the
reported recent attack on a japanese
horticulturist at Berkeley, Cal. 1t
says:
THE outrages demonstrates the i'm
potency of the California authorities to
protect our compatriots. Now is no
time to rest assured on the stereotyped
diplomatic assurances from the Wash
ington government. Only two weeks
after a positive declaration to take pre-
ventive measures to safeguard Japan
csc rights comes the Berkeley outrage.
"The powerlessness of the California
and federal governments are thus DEM
onstrated. and it only remains to take
up the work of protection in our own
hands.
THAT the Outrages are of limited To-
cal occurrence is not a sufficient ex-
PLANTATION"

GOlDFIELD BEAR FAILS.
Sudden Rise in Stocks Causes Rush
to Cover, Wells Morton on
Wrong Side of Market.
Especial to The HeraId.)

Goldfeld, New, June 12.-The squeez-
ing of the shorts which began on Mon
day by a coterie of men who took all the
Jumbo Extension in sight, and the sub
sequent action which made those who
have heavily sliorted the market while
it has been scraping on the bottom, run
to cover. resulted today in one failure,
that of Wells Morton. and bear STAN
pede to get enough stock to make de-
liveries. For two or three weeks there
has been a heavy short interest in
Jumbo Extension. Combination Frac-
ton and Consolidation, and the unex-
pected strength maintained by these
leaders has greatly distressed 4 num-
Der of firms here and in San Francisco.
The scenes on the curb and in the
exchanges tonight were reminders Of
November days, and even at the great
ly advanced prices very little stock is
coming out.
The New York Times story of this
morning to the effect that the control
of Consolidated had passed to New
York interests is i'm line with the ru-
mors which have been rife for several
weeks.
In an interview with Herald repre-
sentative. George Wingfeld declared
that there was absolutely no truth in
the story. Mr.. Morton announced this
evening that he would be in a position
to meet all obligations. 1t is thought
that there will be no more failures,
though at least three houses have been
badly hurt by the rise.

WILSON ON STAND
IN HOLMES CASE
Secretary Says He Never De-
MES Newspaper
- Stories.

Washington, June 12.-Secretary Wilson
was again upon the witness stand today
in the trial of z, s. Holmes, jr. He was
questioned further concerning his alleged
progress TO suppress information given
him at the time of Holmes dismissal from
the department OF agriculture
Regarding the formal statement given
out by the witness at the time Holmes
was dismissed, Secretary Wilson said he
did not make the statement which was
signed by him but that it was the report
of the secret service people who investi-
gated the Holmes case. He declared that
he had made no arrangement or pledge
with Broker Van Ripper for the suppress
sion of names.
Mr. Worthngton asked the witness why
he had given the secret service report to
the public TO the prejudice of Mr. Holmes.
Counsel for the government objected but
the question was admitted and the sec
rotary replied
Il thought the American people had a
right to the report"
The secretary was questioned at length
concerning recent newspaper interviews
attributed to him. He denied many of
the statements. but said that he had not
contradicted any of them. Il never con-
tradict statements credited to me by the
newspapers ] would not even il they
should charge me with murder: then they
would charge me with two MURDERS

Sensation Follows Sensation in the

San Francisco. June I2.-The opening of
the crucial day of the Schmitz trial found
the auditorium of the Jewish synagogue
in Bush street-Judge Dunnes temporary
courtroom-crowded from gallery tiers to
altar. The attendance was the largest
since the trial began. For the first time
policemen were stationed at the doors of
the auditorium TO guarantee order and
prevent the crowding of the aisles that
was a forbidden feature of yesterdays at
tendance.

Attorney Richardson began at once to
question Orchard today regarding nus
conference with Charles H. Meyer at the
latter's home in Denver about April,
1898. Orchard testified yesterday that
Meyer Haywood and Pettibone told him
at this time to go TO Canon City, Colo, 10
get Governor Peabody" Meyers home
was in the Aberdeen flats. Orchard said
he went there of his own Volition. He
had not seen Meyer for year or more
before this The witness was not sure
how the Peabody matter came up or who
spoke of il first. Meyer said he wanted
10 get rid or Peabody so no one else would
follow in his footsteps Peabody had
gone out of office at this time
Orchard said he talked with Haywood
and Pettibone at the latter's store. They
gave the same reasons for wanting TO get
rid of Peabody. Meyer also had feel
ing of personal enmity toward Peabody
Orchard 5; id. blaming him for being the
cause of his arrest.
Orchard as a Solicitor.
Orchard said Pettibone asked him 10
get a position as life insurance solicitor
before going to Canon City. He got let
ters of recommendation from several
persons, among them Mr.. Hawkins, law
partner of Attorney Richardson. who has
conducted the cross examination of Or
chard. Richardson wanted TO know the
circumstances of securing the Hawkins
letter and demanded to know if Orchard
had not said il was necessary for him TO
y
Orchard said he told Hawkins he was
DESTROYS of getting the position as So
licitOr. The witness said he met Haw-
kins at some trials in Telluride. and the
attorney remembered him. Haywood lat
er told Orchard he had made a mistake in
getting a letter from Hawkins, for if
anything happened in Canon City it might
involve the attorney who had been repre-
senting the federation.
Pettibone told Orchard he must have
some 'semblance of an occupation if he
was to remain in a town the size of
Canon City without arOusing suspicion.
IT was for this reason that he took up
insurance solicitation.
Bomb for Peabody.
The casing of the Peabody bomb pre-
pared at Canon City has been placed in
evidence. Richardson wanted to know to-
day WHY the WOuld-be assassin of the ex-
governor had made such large bomb
Orchard said he had planned to place the
bomb outside the house and beneath the
window where Peabody often sat i'm the
evening. The fact that the bomb might
also kill Mrs Peabody and the children
made no impression upon him at the
time Orchard declared
The witness said he made a pretense of
insurance solicitation while in Canon
CIV and vicinity. He did not succeed in
writing any insurance policies, so he
went into the hail insurance business with
q man from Kansas City named Vaughn.
