Said That Brother Of CzoigosE Was In
Canton.
Canton o. MAY 29-Despite rumor
of doubtful origin that Michael Czoi-
golsz. brother of the assassin of. Pres
ident Mckinley, would be In Canton
today. the funeral of Mrs. McKinlcy,
and the contingent visit of President
Roosevelt. passed off without incident
of sinister note. 4
Taking precaution against the one
chance in a thousand that the rumor
of Czolgoz's presence here was true,
the local police, assisted by Secret Sec
vice men from Washington and Cleve-
land. exercised the most alert vigilance
during the Presidents stay in the city.
No trace whatsoever was found of Cool
gosz. nor any anarchist. although three
strangers to the city were held In the
jail during. the Presidents stay.
There was nothing against them,
however, and they were released this
evening.
That the police were taking no
chances was made evident by the
auick ssbfft in arrangements made at
the Mckinley home. All friends and
relatives of the Mckinley family left
by the front door to go to their car
rfage. Crowds had gathered In front
OF the place, including a number OF
men with cameras, who wished to
catch snap shots of the President
The original plan had been changed,
however, and while the crowd waited
on North Market Street. the President
ial party was led out of the side door
to carriages waiting on Louis street
The trip to the cemetery was made
quickly and without incident, and M
teen minutes ahead of the appointed
time, the President returned to MS
car large crowd had gathered ana
asked for n speech, but the President
merely lifted his hat and wished them
good luck.

IS RACE PREJUDICE
JAPS ISSUE STATEMENT IN SAN
FRANCISCO.
Cause of Attacks on Restaurants of
Mikado's Subjects Not Acct
dental Clashes Between
Strikers und4Strflxe
Breakers.

San Francisco, May 29.--The Japan-
ese association. composed of leading
Japanese residents. today made the fol-
lowing statement of the Japanese view
of recent assaults committed against
Japanese in this city:
In the first place the Japanese resi-
dents of San Francisco realize the fact
that the present conditions in this CITY
made it very difficult for the authori-
ties to extend full protection. They
understand that the strike upon street
railways puts a heavy tax upon the
police force and that it is impossible
to guard all places at all times against
the lawless element of the community
They are fully convinced, however,
that much of th@ violence to which
they have been subjected is due to ra-
cial prejudice and that the attempts
which are made in certain quarters to
have II appear that the trouble is con-
fined to quarrels between laboring
men accidentally involved Japanese are
without foundation.
In support of this view they direct
attention to the fact that the Japanese
restaurants have been systematically
annoyed and simultaneously attacked.
Hardly n day goes by in the territory
south of Market Street that some
threatening demonstration is not made
by roughs and hoodlums against jap
anese places of business in that quar-
ter.
After giving a number of specific i'm
stances of attacks on Japanese res
taurants between May 20 and May 25
the statement continues.
THE uniformity of these expressions
of hostility to Japenese precludes the
idea that they are incidental results of
chance rows between white laboring
men. They are entirely distinct in
character from the acts of violence
growing out of the street car strike
where capital and labor are at war.
They are clearly an expression of race
prejudice. to which the-people of no
other nationality are at present sub
jected.
THE Jaanese residents of San Fran
cisco further insist that no provoca-
ton has been given or is being given
for these outraGes. Thy are peace
fully engaged in a lawful occupation,
the right to which is guaranteed to
-thena-hy-t treaty stipulation. They be
lieye that they are fully justified in
protesting against acts which place
their property in jeopardy and their
lives in peril and they denounce as
unjust such public criticism as attrib-
utes their complaints to mere caprice,
I'm the meantime they sincerely re-
gret the necessity of calling for spe-
cial police protection, but believe 1T
wiser to make that demand now rath-
err than wait until some overt act of
the mob shall precipitate more serious
trouble and possibly blondshed.

stripes and at the stern the State flag
of Alabama. Running along the hull
from stern 20 stern were VaVleBateu
lines of flags of the international sig
nal code.
No ship of the many sent out from
the Fore River yards ever had fairer
sponsor than Miss Campbell and V'
sponsor was ever more cool when the
crucial moment came to smash the bot
tie of champagne which christened the
vessel. as Miss Campbell spoke the
sentence giving the vessel her name.

TREATY FAR REACHING.
Philip Brown Does Great Work i'm Cen
tfal America,

Washington, May 29.--The State De-
partment today received a TRANSLATION
of the treaty of peace negotiated at
Amapala. Honduras. under which
friendly relations were re-established
between Nicaragua and Salvador. fol-
lowing their arrangement oyer the
conflict between the former and Hon
duras when Salvador allied herself
with the Honduran Republic.
The treaty seems to be more far
reaching than had been supposed. 1t
commits the republics to obligatory ar
bitration should trouble arise in the
future. and in providing for a peace
congress to be held at Corinto. Mica
ragua, the Ave sister republics in Cen
trail America are invited to form a
peace pact governing commerce, nav
igation and any other questions that
may be judged profitable to Central
American interests"
1t is believed here that the treaty
would not have been negotiated ex-
cept for the mediation of Phillip Brown,
Am swhsan charge, at the legations OF
Guatemala and Honduras. In the In
strument itself compliment Is paid
to Mr. Brown, whose part was played
upon his own responsibility and with
out the suggestion of the State De-
partment The treaty stipuIates that
any difference&t that may arise in the
future between Salvador and Nicara-
qua, that might alter their good rela-
tions, shall be adjusted by means of the
obligatory arbitration of the Presi-
dents of the United States and of Mex
leo jointly, who shall have the power
in case of not arriving at an agree
ment to name a third person whose de-
cision shall be final.
The President of Mexico will have
the right to delegate his faculties as
arbitrator upon the person Of the Mex
lean Ambassador at Washington. or
uoon the person that he may designate.
The treaty also provides that "as a
manifestation of the sincerity with
which the signatory governments have
proceeded and also of the confidence
that they have in the fulfillment of all
the clauses of this treaty. they offer
with the best good will to issue to
their respective countries decree of
unconditional and ample amnesty In
favor of their eountrymen who may
have taken opposite sides in the late
evants in Honduras"
