JAPANESE FEAR
We ARE PLOTTING
impression Grows in Toxic
of an Intent to Foster
Racial Hatred.
Although War is Not Dreamed OF, the
Good viii and Friendship Between
the Two Nations 10 Likely to
be Aiienated.

Tokio.-The impression Is growing
here that the anti-Japanese feeling and
demonstrations in San Francisco are
the outcome of a deeply-laid plan,
based upon racial hatred, and the re-
cent developments apparently support
this impression. The newspapers
here. which had special correspondents
of American nationality in San Fran
cisco. have ceased to receive news
from there. No explanation was Of
fered for the discontinuance OF news
dispatches, but the impression here is
that pressure was brought to bear
upon the correspondents in San Fran
cisco not to serve the Japanese papers.
The fear is expressed that the danger
point will soon be reached.
Although war is not dreamed OF, the
mutual feelings of good will and
friendship will be seriously alienated
if prompt measures are not taken to
aIlay the general indignation here
against the latest discrimination in
San Francisco which, according to
Japanese contention, is a fragrant VIC
lation of treaty rights.
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 boycott against American goods,
it is believed will certainly be one of
the steps taken.

been travelling with Davis, identified
the body. He says the latter was to
receive money at Huntington from his
father, Lot Davis, an attorney of Seat
tie. 1t was for that place the MUIR
dered man was bound, beating his way
over the road. Hales is under arrest
at Mountain Home, but the men Who
1t is alleged, did the killing have es-
capped. A pool of blood was found,
and pistol shots were heard shortly be-
fore the fire was discovered. Davis

Court Refuses to Withdraw Subpoena
for Head of Standard Oil Co.

Chicago.-The attorneys for the
Standard Oil company on Friday ap-
pealed to the United States court for
the withdrawal of the subpoena
against John ID. Rockefeller. Judge
Lands refused to withdraw the sub
poena.
John s. Miller, attorney for the
Standard Oil company, informed the
court that Mr.. Rockefeller, although
president of the Standard Oil COM
pany of Indiana, was not possessed of
the information regarding the finan-
cial condition of the Standard Oil
company desired by the court. He
also informed the court that Mr.
Rockefeller was an old man, who had
many business cares, and that no adj
vantage 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 sub
poenas be issued for the vice-presi
dent and secretary-treasurer of the
Union Tank Line.
