JEcTs LATEST SAN FRANCISCO
DISPUTE.
laps HOOKING INTO MEXICO
MAKE IT a SMUGGLING STATION
TOXIC SEES DANGER POINT
NEAR.

Washington, July S.-Information OF
the fact that there is no apparent dis
elimination as race against the Japa'
nese who made application In San
Francisco to establish intelligence Of
fices and who were refused this privi-
Iere. has been received with evident
satisfaction by the ofncials Of the en-
bassy here, and they say that, this be-
ing the case, there II nothing for them
to do. nor have they any comment to
make.
Mexico 40 Station.
For many months the bureau Of i'm
migration has had inspectors In Mex
leo watching the trend Of Japanese
immigration According to reports re-
ceived at the department OF commerce
and labor it is perfectly evident that
hundreds of Japanese laborers who ar
rive in Mexico have no intention OF re-
naming in that country, but regard It
merely as stopping place en- route to
the United States. The border is
about 1000 miles in extent, and, as it
cannot adequately be covered by the
immigration inspectors, the smuggling
OF Japanese into this country is COM
paratively easy task.
Danger Point 10 Near.
Toxic, July 2.-The impression is
growing here that the anti-Japanese
feeling and demonstrations In San
Francisco are the outcome of deeply
laid plan based upon racial hatred, and
the recent developments apparently
support this impression.
The fear is expressed that the dan
ger point will soon be reached. Al
though war is not dreamed OF, the mur
tual feelings of good will and friendship
will be seriously alienated II prompt
measures are not taken to allay the
general indignation here against the
latest discrimination in San Francisco
which, according to Japanese conten-
ton. Is a fragrant violation OF treaty
rights.
Boycott American Goods.
Apparently certain measures of re-
taliation are seriously being contem-
plated by influential men In political
and business circles. Just what action
will be taken has not yet developed.
but q boycott against American goods,
| 1t is believed, will certainly be one OF
| the steps taken.

Manila, July 3.-The result Of regis.

proved a disappointment. When the

ticipated that there would be about

men in the great crowds which

Friedman was confidential stenog-
rainier under Detective Mcfarland,
and. so he testified. 1t was part OF his
duties to copy the reports of the opera
tives as they reached the office.
Friedman swore that in several In
stances the detectives sent out by the
agency in behalf Of the mine owners
managed to get themselves elected to
high ONCE In the unions and that In
q couple of instances they carried
their roles to the extent of sharing all
the hardships OF the strikers and
finally being deported from the coun-

Tried to Beggar Federation.
Friedman said that one Pinkerton OPP
erative became chairman of the union
strike relief committee at Globeville.
and AZ such had charge Of all the
funds disbursed there by the local
union and general federation.
Friedman said that under instruc-
tions from his superiors at the Pinker-
ton agency this man first tried to beg
gar the federation by lavish expen-
diture In behalf of the strikers. and
failing in this he cut the relief down to
the lowest point In the hope that the
members Of the union might censure

by Company l, First Regiment, N. G. P,
who tied for the record Of the Military
Athletic League, coming within two sec
Onds of the record held by the Twenty

through the crowd in the last ten yards,
winning from Harmon by two inches,
with Rossita third, foot behind.
In the half-mile Nash was a great dis
appointment, as he was picked for a sure
winner, but the handicaps were too much
for him. Gum, of Pennsylvania, took
this event in good style, and from the
form he showed should make some Of

Nash, the Indian, followed with wor-
ried look two yards behind. At the
