Washington, July 1.-For many
months the bureau of immigration
has had inspectors in Mexico watch
Ing the trend of Japanese immigra-
tion. According to reports received
ut the department of commerce and
labor, II Is perfectly evident that hum
dreds Of Japanese who arrive in Mex
leo have no intention of remaining in
that country but regard 1t merely as
stopping place EN- route to the
United States.
tiOn officers that the japanese gov
ernment is a party to suoh an ar
rangement as this. as II has discour-
aged immigration to the United states
in every possible way. Thousands of
Japanese laborers are known to be in
Mexico merely awaiting an oppor-
tunity to enter the United States The
border is about two thousand miles in
extent and as It cannot adequately be
covered by the immigration inspectors
the smuggling Of japanese into this
country Is a comparatively easy task.
Efforts now are being made by the
immigration authorities to establish a
system of inspection by which II will
be made difficult for Japanese or
other aliens TO get into the United
States. either from Mexico or from
British Columbia. 1t is not unlikely
that Secretary Straus. of the depart
ment OF commerce and labor, may
evolve some plan on the trip on which
he starts today to prevent this SNUG
Cling OF aliens into this country.

BAN ON FOREIGN EMPLOYMENT
AGENCIES IN SAN FRANCISCO

Washington, July 1.-The fact that
there Is no apparent discrimination as
a race against the japanese who
made application in San Francisco TO
establish Intelligence offices and who
We're refused this privilege has been
received with evident satisfaction by
the officials Of the embassy here and
they say that this being the case there
Is nothing for them to do and have no
comment to make. A despatch has
been received at the embassy from the
Japanese consular representatives in
San Francisco which after saying that
the applications of the japanese to con-
duct intelligence offices had been re-
turned. conveyed the Information that
they would not be entertained because
the police commissioners had decided
to permit such establishments 10 be
conducted by American citizens only.
This. in the opinion of III officials
here. seems to put an end to any con-
trOversy over the matter as naturally
Japan cannot have any complaint
so long as there is no discrimination
against her citizens. IL was said at
the embassy today that no cOmmunlca-
tiOn had been received from the home
government which required any dip-
1omatlc relations with the state de-
partment.

New York, July IA policy of in
forming the public of the details of
all accidents on the railroads compos-
ing the Hartman system was put into
effect today by order of f. H. Harri-
man, according to an official an
nouncement by the Union Pacific
Railroad company. 1t is stated that
Mr. Hartman has ordered that full
reports shall be made and promptly
given to the press of all accidents on
the Hartman system 1t is also an
nounced that it has been decided as
an experiment to invite outsiders of
local reputation and standing to be
present and participate in investiga-
tions into accidents, making formal
reports. whether agreeing or disagree
ing with the finding of the board of
inquiry,
over seventy per cent Of the seri-
Gus collisions on American railways
during the past five years were due
to the negligence of trainmen and
enginemen. On lines protected by
block signals, ninety-fOur per cent of
the collisions are attributed by the
commission to the negligence of train-
men and signal operators.
The plan to make public the full
details concerning accidents is the re-
suit of the suggestion made by julius
Kruttschntt, director of maintenance
and operation of the Hartman lines,
who said:
Personal responsibility for accl-
dents, whether of officers or laborers,
should be made known to the public.
We must bring about closer observ-
ance Of the rules and greater respect
for danger signals than we now get
from our employees. This can be done
ohly by the widest publicity of the
details of accidents.

lowed to testify on this question.
Belts said he heard Thompson say
one day. Wen blow up these-when
we get out of here"
On cross-examination witness said
he did not know which -" the
name referred to.
Mr.. Darrow said another witness
would show that Thompson was
made secretary of the Mine Owners
association after his release sfrOm the
bull pen.
James L. Wallace, attorney of
Cripple Creek, was next called to the
stand. Wallace told the names of a
number of the officers of the Mine
Owners association who were also Of
ficers of the military and took leading
places in the Citizens Alliance. When
the militia was first called out Wal
lace declared there had been no dis
turbances in the district.
Wallace told of the working of the
card system by the Mine Owners asso-
citation. He also told of the orders
issued by the militia instructing the
merchants of the district not to sell
any goods to the members of the
Western Federation of Miners. This
was after the federation stores had
been demolished.
Wallace said he had never heard
Governor Steunenberg's name mem
toned in connection with the Mine
Owners permit system inaugurated in
Colorado or the statement that it was
a system invented by Governor Steun-
enberg.
Where was X. C. Sterling when he
fired the shot at VictOr?" asked Sena-
tor Borah.
Just south of the military club"
Wallace said Sterling came out of
the crowd and fired one shot point
blank into a bill board fence. He
fired but one shot.
How soon did the rioting begin
after this?"
81 didn't hear any at all. I was
summoned to the FL Paso mine. When
we got back to Victor the riot was
over"
Wallace created decided sensation
by swearing that he saw X. c. Sterling,
the chief detective for the Mine OWN
ers' association, fire the first shot
which started the riots at Victor,
Colo, the day of the independence de-
pot explosion.
Senator Borah oss-eXamined Wal
