EX.MAYOR PHELAN THINKS
POLITICS CAUSE OF STRIFE

Washington, June 12.-"From what
1 see of the newspaper talk here and
in Japan, the whole thing is one OF
politics The minority party In the
Japanese parliament is seeking to win
by stirring up the people OF Japan
against this country. It Is hardly
probable that the Japanese people will
be SO foolish as to make an issue with
this country out OF the destruction OF
some property connected with Japan
ese restaurants"
Thus spoke former Mayor James D.
Phelan Of San Francisco yesterday.
after a talk with the president. ,..
"The motive back of the trouble, a.
I understand it," he went on. was not
one of race prejudice, but simply the
objection of union labor people to
white men patronizing a restaurant
run on a non-union basis by those
supposed to be hostile to union labor.
"If 1t is to become an international
question suppose we will have to turn
over to the mikado all Of our labor
troubles for solution. So far as any
outbreak against the Japanese is con-
cerned, there was none at all. THere
will be no race war in San Francisco
and the Japanese there will receive
abundant protection"

HAYWOOD SENDS MESSAGE
TO DENVER CONVENTION

Denver. June 12.-"Steve Adams will
not testify for the prosecution In the
Haywood case"
This was the positive declaration OF
Acting Secretary James Kirwan Of the
Western Federation OF Miners to the
yesterday. The federation
leader returned from Boise and as
sured the delegates that Haywood's
lawyers have the assurance from Ad-
ans that he will repudiate his "confes-
sion" IL he is placed on the stand by
the prosecution. Mr.. Kirwan also
brought the following message to the
convention from William D. Haywood:
Harry Orchard is the greatest liar
OF the Twentieth century. as every man
stands ready to testify. am determ-
ined to take the stand to show where
he has lied. There will be nothing to
my case but an acquittal. A hung Jury

cation. If your convention had been

mittee on credentials.

was seated in place of Harry Riddell.
the delegate from that place, who was
refused admission because he was
charged with being Pinkerton spy.
There was a protest against seating
Daniel Farmhouse of Doe Run, Mo-, and
Austin Patterson of Transvaal, New,
on account of an irregularity in their
appointment by their local unions. The
former was unseated, but the latter
was allowed to remain in the conven-
ton.
There was lively discussion con
corning an open convention with sew
eral delegates fighting hard against 1t.
but no vote was reached
Acting Secretary Kirwan announced
that he had put the entire funds of
the federation under safety bonds to
protect the federation from any loss by
suits or otherwise.
One of the resolutions which will be
introduced at a later date is for a
proposition to sever all connections
with the Industrial Workers of the
World.
The reports of the officers will be
submitted today and a vote probably
will be reached on the proposition to
hold open sessions. ~

JAPs FROM THIS COUNTRY
PRESENT THEIR OWN VIEWS

Toxic, June 11.-A deputation OF Jap
anese from the United States appeared
yesterday before a meeting Of the
council Of the Progressive party and
presented a resolution in substance as
follows:
The settlement of the San Francis
co trouble cannot be considered AZ
final and a recurrence of the difnculty
may be expected at any time. 1t IL
absolutely necessary to place the Jap
anese in a position to receive exactly
the same treatment as lis accorded
Europeans"
The law segregating Japanese
school children was passed three years
ago, but the authorities fesitated to
carry out its provisions. Its sudden
enforcement last year occurred soon
after the return of Mayor Schmitz from
Germany, where he had an audience
with Emperor William. Consequently
some are inclined to attribute the
mayors anti-Japanese attitude to the
influence Of the kaiser.
Another report Is to the effect that
the Hawaiian sugar interests have
paid the anti-Japanese and anti
Korean organization in San Francisco

from going to California.

Washington stating that the Japanese

ORCHARD WITHSTANDS
STRAIN REMARKABLY

Statements Brought Out Yesterday.
That Orchard contemplated the
blowing up of a boarding house filled
with non-union men at Globeville, near
Denver, in 1905.
Globeville asked him to blow up the
"scabs'
That Haywood asked him to kill
Frank Hearne of Colorado because he
was opposed to union labor.

Boise, Idaho, June 12.-The attack of
the Haywood defense on the testimony
of Harry Orchard goes on unremitting-
ly and the witness will probably be
continued on the stand for two full

with remarkable fortitude and at the
end of six days shows no indication of
mental or physical tagging. Yesterday

of Fred Bradley in San Francisco and

discrediting, and to vitiate it all by re-
vealing the hand of the Pinkertons.
Then the play went back to Denver
for the winter of 1904-5 and the spring
that followed, and there was all ex-
tended effort to show that Orchard had
practically no communication with the
leaders of the federation, that he re-
ceived no pay for the Bradley crime, or
anything else, and that, with Steve Ad-
ans, In a period Of extreme poverty

Sensational Developments In
Trial Of SChmitz

SAN FRANCISCO. May 31.-At the
request of Judge Dunno, Prosecutor
LangdOn will convene the grand jury
tomorrow to investigate Chief Dinan's
alleged tampering with the court.
At the conclusion of Judge Dunne's ad-
dress to Langdon, Mayor Schmitz arose
and attempted to address the court
but was not permitted to do so by his
attorneys, who dragged him into his
seat.
If it is found Dinan worked directly
under the orders of Schmitz an ac-
ton to remove the latter for malad-
ministration of office may be taken.
Robert Curtin, retired grocer, was
accepted as the ninth juror this after
noon and sworn in.
During his examination a row oc-
