America Worse
Than Vancouver,
Says Jap Writer

TOKYO. Sept. 14-Count okumya,
writing in the Hochi Shimbun, contrasts
the anti-Japanese feeling at Vancouver
and San Francisco as follows:
The Vancouver riots must not be
placed in the same category as the San
Francisco troubles. The San Francisco
authorities directly or indirectly coun-
tenanced riots, while the municipal gov
eminent was a center OF corruption.
almost a state Of anarchy prevailing.
President Roosevelt's attitude at first
was fair but after he conferred with a
delegation of San F'ranciscans his atti-
tude was sadly changed.
The Vancouver incident was differ
ent. 1t was an outrageous act, limited
to laborers, and unsupported elsewhere,
The local authorities did everything pos
sible to protect our citizens. The sin
cerity so fully evidenced Of these really
worthy local authorities makes US con-
fident of effecting a satisfactory solu-
tion of the situation"

CHAMBER
BOOM
New York Democrats
to Take Early
Action.

Tho friends Of Lewis Stuyvesant Chan
Ter. OF New York, who are back OF
the movement to give him the Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination Tor 1908
over Bryan, VIII soon launch his boom
in formal manner before the New
York State Democratic committee.
They viii do 1t In q fashion that will
leave no doubt Lieutenant Governor
Chanler Will have the solid delegation
from New York State as a foundation
On which to build IN the next national
convention, and that they intend 70 war
on Bryan in no uncertain manner.
Through a political friend OF Lieuten-
ant Governor Chanler It is learned that
plans have been perfected for an early
meeting OF the New York Democratic
State central committee. This meeting
will be held promptly after the coming
meeting OF the Republican State central
committee.
To Pledge New York's Delegation.
At the meeting. the committee win
formally launch the Chanler boom. The
committee will also adopt \ resolution.
and il is said here this viii 90 through
without dissent, expressing Il as the be-
lief OF the committee that Chanler should
have the solid delegation from New
York State next year. That IN doing
this the committee will reflect the senti-
ments OF New York Democrats generally
IS asserted by Mr.. Chanlers supporters
As viewed IN Washington, the coming
action OF the New York Democratic
central committee Is intended to serve
notice on politicians IN outsjdes States
who have been inclined not to take the
Chanler movement seriously that It viii
henceforth be urged aggressively. and
that this candidacy win have to be reck-
oned with.
Nothing in 1t, Say Bryanites.
Bryan supporters insist that the Chan
Ter movement Is all manufactured and
will amount to nothing Friends o.
Lieutenant Governor Chanler say. on
tho other hand, they have been working
on this matter for months. and have got
en- organization well under way IN many
States They point as proof OF this 70
the continued expressions Of Southern
men favorable TO Chanler. Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina, Is the
latest 20 say word favorable to Chan
Ter. though he Is friendly to Bryan ike
wise, but hopes the Nebraskaa viii not
run.
Much is being said that the ChanIer
movement Is being engineered nv the
same men who engineered the Parker
movement In 1904. Lieutenant Governor
Chanier's friends assert that while Par
ker's friends OF 1904 will support Chanler
yet the men prominent IN the Parker
management are not handling the Chan
Ter boom.

ANTIJAP RIOTS
GUARDED AGAINST
Vancouver Police F ar
Another Demonstration
Tonight.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. Sept 14.-orders
were issued by the municipal authori-
ties OF this city for the police tonight
to prevent an outbreak against the
japanese ana other Orientals The riot
ing begun on last Saturday night. and
as several meetings are scheduled foT
tonight It is feared demonstrations may
be made after the close of the meet
ings.
The police force has been supplemented
by special deputies, and every precau-
ton has been taken to keep the crowd
away from the japanese quarter. While
there is general sentiment against al
Orientals. the feeling against the Japa-
nese is especially bitter because of the
insolent attitude they have assumed
since the riots began. In event of a
clash the police viii have difficulty in
preserving order, for the orientals are
fully armed, and have announced that
they win not alone fight but will fire
the city as wei.
Americans Cleared.
There is absolutely no foundation for
the charges that American labor agi-
tators were responsible for the out
breaks against the foreigners. While II
is true that several labor leaders from
the coast States were ia Vancouver
when the outbreak started, they were in
nowise implicated. On the other hand
they did al possible to restrain the mob
after II had started on It's work of de-
struction. A, z. Fowler, secretary OF
the Anti-Japanese and Korean 1mmigra-
ton League, was in town that night.
but wnen the riot began he was busy
at the mass meeting in city nall. Other
labor leaders also were there.
The hall was not large enough 10 &C
commodate the crowd, consequently a
large crowd gathered IN front OF the
nall, which IS situated near the for
eign quarter The people drifted toward
Little Asia. and small boys began throw
ing stones.
Asked Mob to Desist.
When the Asiatics retaHated the mob
Of men quickly descended on the homes
OF the foreigners. and the riots were in
full swing Mr.. Fowler hurried from the
hall and. climbing a telegraph pole. ad-
dressed the crowd. advising that peace
be restored
IL Is true that the Anti-Japanese
League was first formed in the coast
States, but locals were formed here
before agitatOrs made their appearance.
The people OF Vancouver are confronted
by the same problem the people OF coast
States are. and Il is but natural that
the same program should be pursued.
