FOUND THINGS
IN GOOD SHAPE
E. H. Hartman, Now in New
York, Says the West is More
Prosperous Than Ever.

New York, Sept 1O.-E. H. Hartman,
who recently returned from an extensive
trip through the west, said today that
the west is more prosperous than ever be-
fore; that there are no signs of panic
there but chat the people of that section
are not now seeking investments. He
added:
In spots the crops will not be as good
as last year, but the west will have fair
crops. Our lines appeared to be well de
veloped. Crops are excellent on the lines
of the Union Pacific. There is no ques-
ton in my mind that a good deal of mon
ey is tied up in banks. But these people
who are hanging on to their money now,
later will be seeking investments.
Il found the attitude Of the people with
money one of uncertainty. There is more
money in the country than we believe, but
it is being withheld from free circulation
because of some apparent fear or appre-
hensiOn. | think securities have gone
very much below what they should have
gone under any circumstances.
Although he had seen no marked signs
of business depression in the west, Mr..
Hartman said that contraction in prac-
tically all lines is sure to come The lack
of money to carry out big enterprises is
alone sufficient, he said, to bring about
this contraction.

OIL
ASKS FOR WRIT
Giant Corporation Seeks Loop
hole of Escape From Kene-
saw Mountain Lands.

Chicago, Sept. 10.-The Standard Oil
company of Indiana today applied to
the United States circuit court for a
writ of supersedeas sUspending the Cp-
GRAFTON of the recent hearing set for
by Judge Lands in the United States
district court, in which the penalty as
seSsed against the company was Of $685.
100000. Judge GrOssCup. before whom
the application was made, declined to
take action until he had heard argu-
ments from the attorneys on both
sides. The arguments consumed the
greater part Of the day. The attorneys
insisted the supersedeas bond. if a writ
of error was granted, should be as
large as the fine assessed against the
company. The attorneys for the COM
pany argued for bond of 1000, 900,
Judge Crosscup, while not specifying
the amount of the bond declared that
he thought it should be equal at least
to the total value of the Standard Oil
company of Indiana.
Opposing counsel failing to agree on
any satisfactory arrangement as to the
bond, Judge Grosscup took the matter
under Amusement, postpOning action until

American Agitators Took Part In the
Riot at Vancouver.

Portland, Ore, Sept. 1O.-The Oregon
from Seattle, Wash.
Every indication is that the Van
couver, B. c.. riots were carefully
planned to impress K. Ishii, chief OF
the bureau of foreign commerce. It is
significant that the leaders of the
Seattle organization against japanese
immigration were in Vancouver head
ing the demonstration. Frank w. Cot
terill, president of the Washington
State Federation of Labor; A E. Fow-
Ter. secretary Of the snti-Japanese and
Korean immigration league: George P.
Distman. a prominent Seattle labor
leader. were all present, together with
q big delegation of American anti
Japanese sympathizers. The signifi-
canoe Of the japanese riots dates back
TO a program evolved when it was an
nounced that Ishii was coming to Seat
tie. It was then decided and telegraph
ed out of Seattle that the Oriental
organizations proposed to prevent Ishii
while he was in Seattle, protest
against japanese immigration. At the
time this plan was formulated il was
believed Ishii would spend a week in
Seattle and then go to Vancouver

CAUSED NO EXCITEMENT.
Japanese People Seemingly Regard
Such Occurrences as Inevitable.


Toxic. Sept. 1O.-The accounts of the
serious anti-Japanese demonstration at
Vancouver. 3 @, published in the
Toxic evening papers, caused no ex-
element The people, like the govern
ment officials, regard as foolish the
idea of a troublesome complication No
editorial comment is contained I'm the
evening papers. A few OF the morning
papers discuss the matter dispa ssion-
ately. The Asahi says:
The agitation In British Columbia
agains. the Japanese is much older
than that in California, but violence
has been prevented hitherto by the firm
attitude of the Dominion government.
Undoubtedly this prejudice has been
Tekindled by the recent California in
cidents.. The flood of japanese coming
in from Hawaii has also occasiOned in
crease of the anti-Oriental agitation"
The Asahi points the uSeIessness of
mob violence and cautions the japanese
against retaliation in kind. II says that
the Canadian government undoubtedly
viii take measures against similar re-
gretable affairs, and concludes Os fol-
lows:
Retaliation will not rectify. Our
treaty with Great Britain extends to
Canada and Dur treaty with the United
States will be revised I'm 1911"
Other papers this morning say that
the affair is regrettable but causes
no excitement among the japanese.
A special dispatch saying that Ishii
was stoned and forced to take refuge
IN a hotel is regarded as the most ser
ious feature of the affair, but this re-
port is not confirmed by the foreign
office

REPLY SATISFACTORY.
Comment on Germsny's Formal Note
by the French Press.

Paris. Sept 10.-The wording of Ger
many's formal note of acceptance in the
matter of the proposed Franco-Spanish
military policing of Moroccan ports as a
substitute for the Moorish police pre-
scribed in the Algeciras agreement calls
forth varying and some caUstic com
ment from the French press. The semi
official Temps considers the reply cour-
teous and satisfactory. even if it does
contain some reservations. After pointing
out that Germany expressed the desire
that the grave damages resulting to the
commerce of Casablanca should not occur
at other ports, the Temps remarks: IF
this is a reprOach intended for US il is
unmerited- The people who complain Cf
the bombardment would have run a great
risk of losing even the possibility of COM
planning if our cannon had not protected
them"
The Temps believes that enough troops
will be sent to Morocco to insure the safe
ty of all inhabitants

Kansas Roads to Ignore State Rail-
way Commission.

Chicago. ILL.,. Sept. 10.-At a conference
held in Chicago today the Kansas rail-
roads decided to ignore the railroad com
mission of that state and refuse to obey
Its order requiring a two-cent passenger
rate. The roads were represented by
their general counsel and their executive
officers. The refusal was based upon the
alleged unfairness of the situation
brought about by the action of the COM
mission, which requires twO-cent fares be
ginning Oct. 5. The railroads insist that
the action of the commission is a po-
litiCal move in the interest of the com
mission and not of the people. They de-
clared that they had appealed to the
sense of justice of the commission with
out avail, and that if a twO-cent rate is
to come in force it must come by com
pulsion of law.

INFORMATION.
MANY QUESTIONS ASKED

San Francisco, Sept. 10.-C'laus Spreck-
els. the aged San Francisco sugar king, "
was examined today before Notary Public
D. B. Richards by Attorney John W.
Hutchinson, jr., in behalf of the Pennsyl-
vania Sugar Refining company. in its
$50 900 damage suit against the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company. The taking
of Mr.. Spreckels' deposition was the last
of a series of examinations Mr.. Hutchin-
son has been conducting here during the
past ten days. He will depart for New
York next Thursday.
Protected by Counsel.
The information chiefly desired of Mr.
Spreckeis concerned his sale of the
Spreckels refinery in Philadelphia to the
American Sugar Refining company eigh-
teen years ago. Attorney A. Z. Morrison,
counsel for the defendant corporation,
was present to advise the witness. and at
one stage of the proceedings Informed
him that he need not answer a searching
question put by Mr. Hutchinson as to the
sale price of the Philadelphia refinery.
Mr. Sprcckels, vino is nearing his eigh-
tieth year, was supported during the eX-
animation by his son, John d. Spreckels.
The aged millionaire frequently pleaded
failing memory when questions of detail
were put to him, and he grew irritable
when these were pressed.
Could Not Remember.
Why do YOU want to bother me? |

was a remonstrance he voiced several
times; and once he was SO annoyed by
the reiteration of a query that he rose
in the witness chair as though with intent
to end the inquisition by departure.
Mr. Spreckels said it was about eight
cen years ago that he sold his Philadel-
phia refinery to the trust He could not
recollect with whom he negotiated the
sale but he knew it was not with Mr..
Havemeyer, Mr.. Searls or John F. Par
sons.
Mr. Hutchinson asked point blank how
much Mr.. Spreckels was paid for the
plant. but Mr. Morrison instructed him he
need not tell and he did not.
Made No Agreement.
Mr.. Hutchinson asked: AT the time
you carried on the negotiations which re-
plant and the formation of the Western
Sugar Refining company, was there any
agreement that you would not build an
other refinery in the east2'
No said Mr.. Spreckeis, we had no
such agreement. | would never sell my
self in that manner"
You were fighting the American Sugar
Refining company in the east?'
Il was. Whenever there are two re-
fineries in one field they will try TO sell
their sugar wherever they can and get as
much for it as they can. That is what
l mean by fighting
Did Mr.. Havemeyer ever tell YOU
anything about his plans in the sugar
business?'
mo, sir, he never did"
Mr.. Spreckels testified that he is not
a stakeholder in the American Sugar Re
filming company and that no part of the
Philadelphia sale price was in trust stock

er Ishiis dispatch says that the dis
turbance will soon be quelled and that

Hearing Lasted a Week.

The Pennsylvania was the first to at
tack its validity, bringing a suit in the
local courts to restrain the county of
Philadelphia from collecting fines for
violating its provisions. The hearing
lasted nearly a week and among the
witnesses were President McCrea and
several of the vice presidents of the
Pennsylvania railroad. The contention
of the company was that the law was
not constitutional, and that the two
cent rate was fixed without any inves-
tigation on the part of the legislature
as to whether the railroads could make
a fair profit under the law, which the
company asserts il cannot do. All
other railroads operating in Pennsyl-
vania have brought similar proceed
ings in various counties of the state,
but no decisions have been rendered,
as it is understood that the Pennsyl-
vania suit will be made the test case
