AID JAPAN To
SECURE JUSTICE
U. S. ATTORNEY TO APPEAR
FOR 0RIENTALS
Effort VIII Be Made to Have Congress
Pass Law Taking from States
the Right to Handle Alien
Affairs
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, June 25.-Some COM
ment having been excited by the in
struction to United States District At
torney Devlin to assist the proprietors
of the Japanese establishments in San
Francisco in the prosecution Of their
suits for damages sustained through
the mobbing of their places, it has been
explained by some of the officials that
this linking of the national government
with a private plaintiff is brought
about through a desire by this govern
ment to redeem it's pledge to the effect
that the Japanese in America shall en-
joy all the rights guaranteed to them
by treaty.
The necessity of resorting to this
course of action is deprecated and it is
said that the utcome will be an appeal
to congress, probably at the next
session, to provide by law for the
removal from state to federal courts
of all issues involving the treaty
rights of resident aliens.
Mr.. Olney, when secretary of state
in President Cleveland's second admin
istration, being much troubled with
incidents involving attacks by mobs on
italians and Chinese, sought legislation
on this line from congress, but the time
was inopportune and the opposition
from the states rights advocates was
strong enough to thwart his desires. 1t
is believed now, rowever, that the time
is ripe for such legislation and an ef-
forth will be made to obtain 1t.

BUILDING FALLS
KILLING SEVEN
Six Members of One Family Die in
Collapse of Tenement in New
York-Thrillng Res
cues Effected
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 25.-Seven per-
sons, six of them members of one
Italian family, were killed early today
in the collapse of a tenement in the
downtown Italian quarter. Three
other members of the same family, in
cluding the father and mother, are in
the hospital, painfully injured but will
recover. There were some exciting
scenes Immediately following the col
lapse, one of which was the rescue of
an old man from a two-foot ledge
forty feet from the ground, this portion
of the fallen building having adhered to
the adjoining structure long enough tC
permit the firemen to get to the scene,
raise ladder and take the man safely
to the ground. Then it also fell into
the ruins.
George Blumenthal, the contractor
who had charge Of the repairs of the
building, was arrested and charged
with homicide.
That many more persons did not lose
their lives in the collapse of the build
ing was due to the younger occupants
of the house, who attended an Italian
celebration last night
The boys reached home shortly be-
fore o'clock this morning, and warned
by the severe shaking of the house
ran through the building and warned
the sleeping tenants of the impending
danger. Dozens of persons ran into
the street in their night clothes and
many of them had scarcely reached
the street before the crash came. Five
minutes later scores of firemen were
at work trying to remove the piles of
bricks and timber in the hope that
some of the buried persons might be
taken out alive. After a few minutes
tearing at the bricks and timbers the
firemen heard a low moan and in the
dim light saw a mans hands moving
convulsively. The men caught 1t and
the man under the ruins murmured.
For Gods sake save my sister,"
1t was George Torchini. six of whose
brothers and sisters perished in the
ruins.
The fremen dragged away the debris
trying to free the young man. Just
then a watcher cried Look out boysl
Run-she is falling!" The fragment OF
wall tottered and fell, throwing up a
cloud of dust and concealing from the
view of the anxious crowd in the street
the iremen, whom everyone supposed
were buried. Only Battalion Chief
Calvan and Ladderman Samuel were
badly injured. 1t was thought thai
George Torchini wSuld be killed by the
falling WALL but his life was saved
by a strange happening. Part of the
wooden roof that had remained upon the
wall fell directly over the hole which
firemen had opened to him and bricks
and timber rested harmlessly on this
canopy. Firemen pulled it off and soor
had Torchini out. A few moments
later the firemen took out Torchini's
father and mother. They were the last
to be taken out of the wreckage. They
are suffering from contusions on theil
| bodies.

CHIEFS WORKING
TELEGRAPH WIRES
OPERATORS IGNORE OFFER OF
COMPANIES
Small Addresses Letter to President
Mackay of Postal, Stating That
Agreement with Men Was
Broken
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-The sit
uation in the telegraphers strike re-
mains unchanged, with everything
peaceful around the main offices of the
companies.
The formal notice of the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph companies
to their striking operators to return
to work yesterday was ignored by the
men, as was expected. No one re-
turned to work and the chief operators
and officials of both companies We're
busy working at the keys themselves.
The company officials said that the
refusal Of the men to return severed
finally the bond heretofore existing.
Superintendent May of the Western
Union declared that his company was
engaging men, but would not say how
many. He said they were coming
from all directions and that normal
conditions would prevail soon.
The officials of both companies claim
they are within a half hour of their
work all the time. The government
business was being handled, said Su-
perintendent Storrer, without any de-
lay at all.
Although messages are being handled
with reasonable promptness so far the
companies refuse to take them except
subject to indefinite delay, owing to
the fear of interference with the wires
or delays in the east.

FUNSTON DOESN'T
CARE 'WHOOP IN :
GENERAL RAPS MCCARTHY AND
TVEITM0E
Says He's Glad Troops Are Not to
March on Fourth of July-Con-
siders Discussion Well
Settled
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-The
Fourth of July committee, after two
hours session last evening, drafted a
reply to General Funston, in which
the latters intimation that United
States troops would not be safe from
insult in the streets of San Francisco
was repudiated and the generals offer
of troops declined because the idea of
parade had been abandoned.
The reply covered the original letter
from Funston, dated June II, and a
later communication, sent yesterday,
in which the general explained at
greater length his reasons for advis-
ing against the parading of troops.
He declared that the expression "as
yet unwhipped mob" was intended to
apply to a certain lawless element in
the community. He closed by offering
troops for a parade on July 4, with the
statement that it was UP to the people
of San Francisco to deal with any
disorder that may occur.
The committee in it's reply stated
that it did not take the generals eX-
preston as a personal insult, but stig-
matized as unjust the accusation that
United States troots -'ould be unsafe
in San F'rancisco's streets.
SAN H'RAN ClOCO, June EO.-6ShSlh oil
Funston, when asked his opinion of the
letter sent to him by the Fourth Of
July committee in answer to the two
letters sent by him on the subject of
parading the United States troops on
the occasion of the Fourth of July
celebration, dictated a statement, say
ing in part: "I understand that there
was much dissension in the Fourth of
July committee in regard to my letter
There are many estimable men In the
organization, but for such blather-
sixties as P. H. Mccarthy and Rivers
of Blood" Tveitmoe 1 don't care

[ know personally and l have the
greatest regard for them.
Had this request come at any other
time / would gladly have acceded to
it, but under the conditions of semi
anarchy now existing 1 would not take
the chance. AS 1 wrote the committee
am neither blind nor deaf. know
what is going on in this city. Just
the other night a mob of nearly a
thousand men attacked four strike
breakers who were taken to a hospital.
Such a condition certainly cannot
mean peace and the reign of law.
''In the stand 1 have taken 1 have
the support of all the better class of
citizens. 1 meant no attack on the
labor union portion of the population;
in fact 1 am personally in favor of
the unions, as 1 think that with the
great moneyed interests banded to-
gether the workingmen must organize
for their own protection. 1t would not
be from this class that trouble would
come, but as sure as regular soldiers
we're to appear on the streets they
would be insuIted. I am glad there
will be no parade. 1t is the easiest
way out of the difficulty"

SAYS RATES ARE TOO HIGH
ON DENATURED ALCOHOL
By Associated Press.

Dy ASSOCldIeu 1TeSS,
WASHINGTON, June 25.--A curious
case was filed with the interstate
commerce commission today by the
railroad commission of the state of
oregon against the Northwestern and
Burlington railways and several other
lines. 1t appears that the defendant
lines charge the same rates upon the
denatured alcohol from Chicago to
north Pacific coast terminal points as
they charge on other alcohol. By rea-
son of the high freight rates the price
of denatured alcohol in Oregon is
greatly increased, IS it osts from IL
to Is cents a gallon to transport it,
The Oregon railroad commission sug-
gests that the freight rates work an
unjust discrimination against dena-
tured alcohol, and asks the interstate
commerce commission to fix just and
reasonable rate for it's transportation.

or the Virgin Mary. In the GreeS
Church. as in other Christian
churches. the worship Of craven I'M
ages Is forbidden. but no objection j.
made 10 anything reproduced on

miticd IN the forms OF mosaics, paint
