PERMITS DENIED.
Japanese Are Given Another Ground
of Grievance in Frisco.

San Francisco. June 2S.-The board
application of five Japanese for the
privilege of renewing their permits to
kee- intelligence offices in this city and
refused two Japanese applicants who
desired to obtain new permits for the
anne business on the grounds that the
applicants We're not citizens of the
United States and that heretofore the
policy of the board had been always to
give preference in these privileges to
citizens against those who are not and
can not become citizens of the United
States. 1t had been urged on behalf
of the petitioners that they were en-
titled to the privilege by virtue of the
provisions of the treaty, but the police
commission contends that if such right
does exist it is still subject to laws en-
acted under the general police powers
of the state concerning police and sanf-
tary regulations. A refusal to grant
such permits is not, according to the
construction of the board. a violation
of the right to trade. President Ha-
gerty in giving the decision of the
board said that it was the policy of the
board to grant such permits only to
citizens of the United States and not
to citizens of foreign countries, and
he further suggested that the refusal
to grant these permits would open the
way for a determination in court OF
the extent of the rights of japanese in
this respect under the treaty between
the United States and Japan, should
the applicants desire to take the mat
ter into the courts.

Man Arrested for FelOniOus As
sault Is Acquitted
On the Ground That He Suf-
fered From Psychic Epilepsy.
UNHEARD OF BEFORE.
As a Defense for Acts of a
Criminal Nature.
Possibilities Are Regarded as
Limitless by the Lawyers.

New York, June 2S.-Dr. Gilmore
Elliott has escaped the meshes of the
law through a unique plea He had been
arrested for brutally assaulting without
provocation, a man and his wife on the
public highway. Psychic epilepsy, de-
sfned as epilepsy without any external
manifestations, was the defense success
fully offered.
DR.. Elliott in his own behalf testified
that he had been subject to attacks of
psychic epilepsy since childhood and
that during these attacks he had no
knowledge of his acts or recollection OF
them upon recovery.
Medical testimony was offered to sus-
tain this plea and the prisoner was dis
charged.
Lawyers who heard the defense and
members of the district attorneys staff
continued to discuss DR.. Elliott's strange
statement long after the physician had
left court. They agreed that hts scope
was practically limitless and asserted
that psychic epilepsy would undoubted-
ly prove successful defense even for
murder.
TT is the best defense 1 ever heard
and the best defense in the world" said
Assistant District Attorney Turnbun-
mo man could be held responsible for
any act if it could be shown that he suf-
fered from this strange disease"

'.WHfTE WINGS" STRIKE.
Unless Demands of the Garbage Men
Are Acceded To.

New York, June ga sympathetic
strike of two thousand street sweepers
is threatened today if the street clean
ing department does not accede to the
demands of the striking garbage car
drivers. The health of the city is be-
ing seriously menaced by the great
piles of garbage which lie rotting in
the streets of the east side. DR.. OAR
lington. one of the health board, start
ed an investigation today. Several
physicians have already reported that
much illness is being caused by filth
in the streets.
The striking garbage men have been
on strike three days and unless they
return in two days they will be auto
maticaIly discharged. The strikers to
enforce their demands which include
the abolition of a fine of five days pay
for emptying a can containing both
ashes and garbage, and a fine for
trotting horses, decided to bring on a
strike of two thousand street sweepers
today unless their demands were ac-
coded to.

FOR JOHN D.
His Attorneys Ask to Have the
Subpoena Withdrawn.
Their Petition Is Promptly
Denied by Judge Lands.

Chicago. June 2s.-The attorneys for
the Standard Oil company today ap-
pealed to the United States court for
the withdrawal of the subpoena against
John D. Rockefeller. Judge Lands re-
fused to withdraw the subpoena.
John S. Miller, attorney for the
Standard Oil company, informed the
court that Mr.. Rockefeller, although
president of the Standard Oil company
of Indiana, was not possessed of the
informant ton regarding the financial
condition Of the Standard Oil company
desired by the court. He also inform
ed the court that Mr.. Rockefeller was
an old man who had many business
cares and that no advantage could be
had to any person by bringing him into
the court.
The appeal of the attorney did not
appeal to Judge Lands for he prompt
ly refused to recall the subpoena and
in addition, directed that subpoenas be
issued for the vice president and the

BEWARE OF JAPAN.
Rev. Henry c. Mabie Says She Should
Not Be Tempted Too Far.

San Francisco. June 2S.-The Rev.
Henry c. Mabie, general secretary of
the American Baptist Mission union,
who arrived on the Korea, has been
on a four months tour of the Orient,
inspecting the mission stations. He
gave careful study to the japanese
question and says that Americans
should be warned against underesti-
mating Japan's strength.
'"They have a standing army of a
million men," he said. "and their drill
work is not the performance of per-
functory evolutions. They go at it In
the greatest earnestness. Every day
of their lives they are put through the
jiu iitsu exercises and the result is a
stocky straight Setup soldier, as
square cut and trim as that of the
English Tommy Atkins" ever was.
No nation can afford to hold the Jap
anese efficiency or valor in contempt.
Japan is prepared, if need be, to de-
fend her honor and dignity before the
world if a crisis comes. There is an
of uneasiness and sensitiveness in re-
gard to our immigration policy and
the treatment of her subjects. 1t is
not so manifest as reports would en-
deavor to convey; the thoughtful.
substantial men are disposed to be pa
tient and to trust to the good inten-
tions of our country and our officials
for an amicable adjustment of the diff
ficulties with due regard to their
rights. But there is less of the
bumptious and threatening in their
attitude than one would expect 1t is
really surprising that they have not
shown a more challenging disposition
after their success in arms in the Rus
sian war"
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-06-28

had been identified as mis- son. Mr.
Zook came straight through from Fargo
and the first news he received that his
son was alive came from the sheriff,
who told him of the word he had receiv-
ed from Mr. MeaIio at Omaha To say
that Mr.. Zook was overjoyed expresses
his feelings but slightly. In fact the
good news was so sudden and unexpect-
ed that Mr.. ZoolS was quite affected for
a few moments. He took immediate
steps to arrange to meet his boy in
Kansas City. He said that his son had
been away from home for about a year
and that he had been travelling and
working his way throughout the far
west. The last that he heard from him
was that he was coming east with a load
of sheep from Albuquerque. Mr.. Zook
has another son named Daniel who is
four years older than. William and of
whom he has not heard in some time.
Mr.. Zook left for Kansas City within a
few hours after he arrived here.
The body which was thought to have
been young looks, was buried last
night in the potter's field and there is
now slight chance. that this murder will
ever be solved. There is no doubt in
the minds of the sheriff and the other
county authorities that the man, whose
body. was found, was murdered. The
bullet found in the head and the severe
slash in the throat and. chest established
a murder beyond peradventure. There
is just about one theory left as to this
murder. That is. that 1t was the result
of a fight in a box car and that the
body was dropped from. the car at the
place where it was found.
NIaude Lawson Taken Up.
Sheriff wilkerson was working on
murder clues until after 2 o'clock this
morning He is convinced that there
was more than one person mixed up in
the murder of William Morkinson, the
fruit peddler, and for which Wilburn
no 1lrn in,
Jail under a charge of murder in the
first degree. The sheriff heard yes
terday that there was a mattress with
a large splotch of blood on it in the re-
sort conducted by Maude Lawson at
No. 116 East Norris street. 1t hap
pened that Maude Lawson and her
husband Frank were arrested some
weeks ago for violating the prohibit
tory law and were out on bail in the
sum of $500 each which was furnish
ed by John Hoffman.
When Hoffman learned of the
bloody mattress in the Lawson house
he. notified the sheriff that he wished
to withdraw from the woman's bond
2 o'clock this morning. He also
brought the mattress with the blood
spot on it over to the jail. This blood
splotch is a large one in one of the
corners of the mattress. Maude Law
son insisted that this splotch was on
the mattress when she bought it from
another woman and gave an explana-
ton as to how it got there. II
Hoffman changed his mind this
morning about Withdrawing from
Maude's bond, so the sheriff released
her from Jail, although he was not
quite satisfied with the story the wo-
man told about the blood sp1otch on
the mattress.
No further evidence has been Sc
cured by the county authorities in the
murder case. They believe
that. the evidence art hand places 1t
at the door of Van Horn, but
they are going to continue their work
to make this evidence more conclusive
If possible.

Chicago NewsbOys and BoOtblaclxs
Guests of Volunteers of America.

Chicago, June 28.-Like an army of
starved soldiers, 1000 newsboys,
bootblacks and tenements poor moved
on Washington park yesterday and
laid siege to 1900 boxes of lunch,
1856 gallons of ice cream and 10000
glasses of lemonade. The Volunteers
of America who contributed the eat
ables, made no attempt to defend the
food and the drink-they capitulated
Internationally.
How the vast assemblage of chill
dren ever got to Washington park
will never be known. Some came in
automobiles, other in carriages of the
rich, soap wagons, grocery rigs, some
walked and thirty chartered streets

Sheriff Still Looking for "Other
Man" in MOrkinsOn Tragedy.

William Zook Is alive and well. So
the Identification of the body of the
murdered man as his. which was
found Monday morning on the Union
Pacific tracks just the other side of
the three bridges, was mistake
Robert Meyers, an employee of the
Mail and Breeze Printing company
made the identification. He had seen
Zook on the street on Sunday after
noon and from the clothing worn by
the murdered man and the general
appearance of his body Meyers was
almost certain that Zook was the vic
tim of the foul play that had re-
suited in the murder. And the peace
officers of the county and city believed
that this identification was good one
and have been working for the past
few days to trace the whereabouts of
Zook from the time he was seen on
Sunday afternoon until his murder.
This identification was shattered
this morning when Sheriff WilkersOn
received a telephone communication
from William A. Mealio, a brother-in-
