FOR DAMAGES
DEFENDANTS IN ROBINSON MIN.
ING COMPANY'S SUIT PRE-
PARE TO FIGHT.
DAMAGES IN SUM OF $4,000
Alleee Defendants Knew of No
Transaction Whereby Plaintiff
Was to Get $4,000 Shares.

An answer and counter complaint
were filed yesterday in the matter of
the suit of the Robinson Mining COM
pany against Richard A. Reipe, Hen
ny M. Fulmer, Roy r. Ives, Fulmer
& Ives, Bretha Ives and e. w.
Hulse in which the allegations of
the plaintiff in the action COM
menced June 25th are not only de-
MED, but damages in the sum of
$4,000 are asked. Attorney Zurich
represents the defendant Reipe and
Attorney MciGlroy the other defend
ANTS.
rile original complaint alleged
Reipe and Herman Bass, claiming
the ownership of Sunshine claims
Nos. /. 2, 3, and ), and Hexton
lode claim in the Robinson district,
decided the property to the plaintiff
with the understanding that they
would receive 114,2S5 shares. The
allegations further state that one o.
II. Paulson relocated the claims and
that compromise was effected
whereby Paulson was given claims
No. 3and No. 5, and Hexton lode
claim. This, it is said, was accord
ing to Reipe's wishes and he was to
turn over $4,000 shares to the plain
tiff The complaint also states that
F'ulmer e Ives sold to Thomas O'Neil
102,7S0 shares, thereby placing
Reipe in such position that he
could not turn over the $4,000
shares. 1t is further alleged that
Bertha Ives was assigned $4,000
and Hulse $4,000 for the purpose of
preventing the Robinson Mining COM
pany from receiving the $4,000
shares.
The defendants in their answer
deny these allegations. They state
Fulmer & Ives were co-partners and
that Ray r. Ives admits that he was
secretary of the plaintiff company
during the year 1906, and that the
books show no record of an agree
ment or promise made by r. A. Reipe
to the effect that he would surrender
$4,000 shares of stock.
Fulmer & Ives also deny that they
had any knowledge of an agreement
until they saw the complaint filed by
the Robinson company.
Ray r. Ives admits he purchased
in good faith 102,7S5 shares of
stock and he also admits he sold the
stock to Thomas O'Neil for a valua-
Bile consideration. To the best of
his knowledge the books showed De-
PENDANT Reipe had clear title to
102,7S5 shares. The defendants
Fulmer 4 Ives deny they knowingly
aided and assisted Reipe in defraud-
ing the plaintiff out of the stock.
Ives admits he transferred the 25,-
600 shares to Bertha Ives and the
$4,000 shares to Hulse, but alleges it
was in good faith and for a valuable
consideration.
The answer and counter complaint
prays for Judgment for the $4,000
las actual, exemplary damages. for
4 an injunction restraining the plain
NNffs in further preparation and con-
tihIation of their wrongful and UNI
lawful acts and for all costs of suit. y
The case will be heard before
Judge Brown at the next session of
the district court in this city.

QUITE ANOTHER
VIEW OF THE
JAP QUESTION
Japanese Association of America
Issues Statement Concerning
the Matter.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-The
Japanese association of America has
issued the following statement:
Five of the principal chambers
of commerce in Japan recently ad-
dressed communication to cham
befs of commerce in America setting
forth the grievances of Japanese resi-
dents in San Francisco, and includ-
ing among such grievances the de-
NAL of the right of education.
THE Japanese association of
America, which has its headquarters
in San Francisco, believes that in
justice to the people of California,
and the whole country, these erro-
neous statements should be correct
ed and false impressions removed.
Japanese children in San Francisco
are not now denied the right of edu-
cation. On the contrary, they are
as many Japanese scholars in the
public schools as there were before
the earthquake and fire of April 1S,
1906, and they are receiving the
same treatment and the same advan-
tages that are given to the pupils of
other nationalities. and are admitted
to the same schools.
I'm making this correction, the
Japanese association of America
wishes to show its desire for fairness
and 1t hopes that its efforts to bring
about friendly relations between the
Japanese and the people of San Fran
cisco, and the state of California, will
have the sympathy and support of
the merchants and business men of
the state

BRINGS GOOD
REPORTS FROM
BALD MOUNTAIN
John A. Steele Will Organize a Conn
pany to Develop His
Property.

John A. Steele returned from the
Bald Mountain mining district yes
terday and will leave in a short time
for Salt Lake, where he will organize
company to carry on some further
development work. Mr. Steele states
that prospects in that vicinity are eX-
cellent and that there are In the
neighborhood of $50 men in the dis
trict.
He is working a few men on his
property The copper ore is high
grade and although he is still in the
oxidi-zeo zone the ore is showing up
very well. The company he is tigur-
ing on organizing will probably sink
with a keystone drill, and if pros
poets are as good as they are on the
surface, his property will prove most
valuable.
Phil McKernan, George Metzger
and Louis Picolli have twenty-five
claims that are showing up in fine
shape. They are working on them
and are planning some big develop
ment work.
The Skaggs property, which was
sold about nine months ago to Bos-
ton firm, is proving far richer than
was first thought. The mines are
being worked and are paying their
own way at the present time. The
price the property sold for was $780,
900, the last payment just having
been made. The new owners are
shipping ore to Salt Lake and will
carry on the work on a much greater
scale.
The district has been pretty thor
oughly prospected although the
mines are only slightly developed. 1t
seems that some men own as many
as 100 claims, which greatly inter-
feres with prospecting.

AUTOMOBILE
CONTEST IN
FRANCE TODAY

DIEPPE, France, July Prep
arations have been completed for the
Grand PriX contest of the Automobile
clug of France Tuesday, which
promises to be the hardest fought
and the fastest race yet run. The
Madrid-Paris competition last year,
when the cars were driven half the
time through a .surging mass of peo-
pie, was a death blow to- straight
away racing in France. This year
a beautiful closed triangular course
named the Angles, being at Dieppe
and Londonieres, one of which starts
at the sea, has been selected. 1t
measures seventy kilometres and it
must be circuiUed ten times. The
most elaborate arrangements will be
made to prevent the mobs from in
vading the track. Eight thousand
soldiers will be stationed at 40 foot
intervals along the course till the
race is finished The club this year
has discarded the rule regarding the
weight of cars, substituting limit
of essence of consumption to 80 litres
per 100 kilometres.
mere are thirty-eight entries, rep
resenting fifteen firms, including five
Italian, twenty-four French, three
Belgian, three German, two Eng
fish, one Swiss and two Americans.
Christie will drive an American car
of his own, having 1870 horsepower.
The pilots include practically all
the world cracks, among them being
Navarro, Szisz, Lacia, Wagner, Du-
ray, Jenetzy, Sougier and Hemery
In the preliminary trials Navarro
has made the fastest circuit, AZ min
u<es, while Lacia and Wagner have
done the best work at the curves and
made the fastest spurts. The lat
ter was the fastest at the rate of
100 kilometers per hour. The odds
are for the French to retain the cup,
on account of the preponderance OF
numbers.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE
SENATOR FLINT RECOMMENDS
A CALIFORNIA JUDGE.

what did they expect the President to
do?" inquired Franklin Z. Lane of the in
terstate commerce commission, when asked
about the statement of the President as to
his attitude on railroad legislation. Did
they expect that he would stultify himself
by completely changing his position at their
behest? I do not believe that a single rail-
road president in the country asked or ex
pected anything Of this kind"
Mr. Lane is one of the men on the in
terstate commerce commission who is
trusted to the fullest extent by the Presi-
dent. He called at the White House this
morning and had a brief talk with the
chief executive.

turned from a trip to Havana and else
where with Secretary Metcalf, called on the

concentration of the California delegation

district courts of that state. The position
is a newly created one, Congress having
provided an additional Judge to take care OF
increasing judicial business In the state.
Mr.. Van Fleet Is a lawyer of high stand
Ing at the California bar, and his appoint
ment Is urged by the entire delegation.
The Situation in Cuba.
Senator Flint said that while he had
spent some time with Secretary Metcalf
and others in the party In Havana and
other Cuban points. he had given little con-
sideration to the political situation In the
island From what could learn the peo-

himself has asked for Instructions. No
privilege has been waived before u.s." said
Chairman Mcclure.
Mr.. Jerome proceeded to read the official
court record of DR.. Hamilton's testimony.
Gould Not Be Conceded.
Mr. Jerome argued that Notwithstanding
the fact that the jury had retired when DR..
Hamilton made the statement as to Thaw's
present mental disability 1t was testimony
given in open court and was published to
the world. He then quoted from a decision
Of the court Of appeals in which 1t was held
that the professional privilege as between
physician and patient could not be used
both as q sword and as a shield. Once pub
lfshed, the facts could not again be con-
cealed behind the cloak of privilege, Mr.
jerome declared. There was. moreover. he
said, an express waiver of the privilege as
between DR.. Hamilton and the defendant
when Mr.. Delmas after conference with
his associate attorneys stated IL had been
agreed that the witness might tell all he
knew. Mr. Jerome went on to point out
what he claimed were three separate and
distinct waivers of privilege as regards Dr.
Hamilton.
Mr.. Hartridge declared the district attor-
ney had not accepted the agreement to
have DR.. Hamilton tell all.
Commissioner Olney here began to inter-
rogate District Attorney Jerome.
Jerome's Claim.
"You claim Thaw has been insane all
through this trial?'
Yes SIR"
Then how can you contend that these
attorneys can waive a privilege for in
sane person? If they were in position to
waive the privilege, don't you reach the
foundation that their client must have been
sane? How do you reconcile the two
points? The question has arisen In my
mind. and thought you might care to ad-
dress yourself to the point"
1.-The burden of proof Is placed on me-"
replied Mr.. Jerome. land ! did think the
commission was openminded-"
Mr.. Olney interrupted:
II asked you a civil question in a civil
manner" he said. and l suggested that
you might care to discuss the matter IL
you do not, all right"
