VANCOUVER IS QUIET
NO FURTHER ANTI-oRIENTAL
DISTURBANCES FEARED.


Special Dispatch TO The Star.
Japan DOES not intend to make inter
national affair of the Japanese riots which
have occurred In Vancouver became known
today, when. in an interview at Vancouver,
B. c., Baron Ishii, chief of the bureau of
foreign commerce, said:
''I have received cable dispatches from
the japanese government at Toxic to the
effect that japan will not make an inter-
national incident of the riots of the past
few days. The relations between Japan
and Great Britain are too close and too
friendly to be destroyed by this incident
"Of course. the resident japanese of VAN
Couver will demand payment for damages,
but far the government of Japan is
concerned there will be no official repre-
sentation.''
Baron Ishii leaves tomorrow for Ottawa,
and Is of the belief that further rioting
in Vancouver viii not occur.
The Chinese and japanese strike that
went into effect yesterday was called off
in the afternoon, and the Cinnamon and
japanese went back to work this morning
In contrast with this the white labor
unions are debating whether or not to call
a general strike in all places where both
white labor and orientals are at work
Vancouver and all other cities of British
Columbia are facing what may become the
greatest strike in the history of the north
west.
Native Papers Calm.
TOXIC. September ll.-The Asahi is the
only newspaper that makes any comment
today upon the antl-oriental outbreak at
Vancouver. 1t says that the japanese must
realize that the immigration question will
be the center of the treaty revision nego-
tiations in 1911. and the japanese who are
abroad should exert themselves to create
good impression.
With reference to the Vancouver affair
all that the foreign Office has to say is
that the reports concerning 1t have been
referred to London.
The publication of extended accounts of
the trouble has not developed any further
criticism by the press. The public accepts
the outbreak as the action of irresponsibles
who must be punished
Vancouver Is Quiet
The Hochi. which was the most outspoken
newspaper here regarding the recent Japa-
nese difficulties in San Francisco, in an
editorial this evening says:
The trouble in Vancouver, which appears
to be over, was confined to one city. Japan
can safely leave her interests in the hands
of Premier I.aurier, who has always been
friendly. There is no reason why the peo-
pie should feel uneasy over the outcome"
The Hochi is considered to be repre-
sentative of popular sentiment.

YOUGH RIVER OIL
AND CAS- COMPANY
Determination to Drive the Well to a
Depth of 1000 Feet Arrived At.
PROSPECTS FOR OIL EXCELLENT
New Formation Reached at 5000
Feet Which Encourages the Board
of Directors to go Deeper
Stockholders Meeting.

The well now being drilled on the
John Harmed farm by the Yough River
Oil Gas Co., on Saturday last reached a
depth of 3O05 feet At that depth a
formation was reached which is entire
ly dissimilar to anything heretofore
penetrated since the drilling began and
the Board of Directors of the company
at meeting on Monday evening, after
receiving reports from the well commit
tee and upon the advice of experts in
the oil business, determined to push the
work of sinking the well to depth of
at least 1000 feet, or until oil or gas is
found in paying quantities
There is every reason for the stock
holders and the community generally to
be encouraged and the hope of finding
oil or gas at the present location is be-
coming stronger each day.
The stockholders meeting to be held
on the 7th of September for the purpose
ofincreasing the capital stock, should be
largely attended and those who find it
impossible to be present in person
should send in their proxies to the sec.
rotary without delay.
1t is the firm belief of the manage
ment that the company is on the eve of
important discoveries and it is possible
that before the stockholders meeting
takes place the well will have been drill
ed into the pay sand.
1t is the firm determination of the
Board of Directors to thoroughly test
the territory and should success attend
this first effort the stock of the com
pany cannot be obtained at any reason

FELL FoMR FENCE: BROKE HIS LEG
Alex. Hesen Net With Unfortunate
AcCiden. Monday Night.

Last Monday evening about nine
O'Clock Mr.. Calvin H. Echard, who lives
on Pennington street adjoining the pub
lie school property, heard groan eminat-
ing from a source which he was at first
unable to determine, but upon going to
his door he discovered that some one
was laying in an adjacent vacant lot and
evidently in great pain as the grooming
continued without intermission. Upon
investigation he found that Alex Hesen
was lying upon the ground perfectly
helpless and almost Uncon -cious from
pain.
Mr.. Echard summoned help and a
physician, who upon making an examin-
alton Of the man discovered that his right
leg was broken at point midway be-
tween the ankle and knee Aside from
this no other injury was apparent. He
was taken to his home just opposite
from where he was found and there the
fracture was reduced by DR.. McComas.
The morning following the accident
Mr.. Hesen stated that he had been
struck on the head from the rear and
after being robbed of an amount ap-
preaching 800 he was thrown bodily
over the fence which pre- iuced the frac-
ture of his leg.

thin, and what is left of it is of a
brownish color, turning a bit gray.
His moustache is about the same shade
He wears glasses. His voice is soft,

His manner indicates cordiality, SYM

his mouth he speaks with conviction.
This is George R. Gather, the man
nominated by the Republican party of
Maryland as its candidate for governor.
Mr.. Gather has no amount of person
al egotism. He has, though, what every
one would cali mice face" tits sug-
gestive of kindness and consideration
for others. He has the rare faculty of
being mentally and morally strong and
at the same time gentle. His whole
career in public life has demonstrated
that he has the character to stand out
for what he believes to be right and to
oppose what he believes to be wrong. In
this respect he is rugged. 1t was be-
cause he was this sort of man that his
party nominated him. He was not Sc
lected because he is a good fellow" or
more because people like him He was
the choice of the Convention because he
was regarded as having unusual moral

he has been a consistent Republican,
but not partisan, spokesman or office
seeker. He has stood fol. he principles
of the Republican pal " and has indora

indorsed bad Democrats. There is not
a man in the State who has ever been
and still is, a greater advocate for clear
and honest methods in politics.

in any way, and | most emphatically de-
ny the assertion that am in combina-

their opposition on this report they are
placing it on something that has nc

that there have been several PROPOSE

in my judgment the time has come in

There is some basis for the rumor
of Roots retirement in the fact that
the President has come out in favor
of Secretary Taft for the next Re
publican nomination. For a time il
looked ,as-if President Roosevelt want
ed Root as his successor. and it is
believed by many that he encouraged
the Secretary of State in this idea. 1t
is pointed out that If Root has any
presidential aspirations he could more
consistently foster them outside the
Cabinet than as member OF the Pres
ident's family in the present state of
affairs.

The Grand Jury will not turn to the
inyestirasion Of the United Railroads
or the San Francisco Gas and Electric

days to complete the inquiry into the
details OF the telephone deals, and the
attention of the inquisitorial body will
then be turned to some independent
tigation, but which have been post
poned to allow the cleaning up of the
telephone branch of the graft proceed
ings.
witnesses can be examined. which it is
believed may be accomplished by Tues
day or Wednesday. the indictments
based on the evidence collected during
the past two weeks will be voted At
least eight are expected. and the ad
ditional facts developed within the next
day or two may increase this number.
In addition to Louis Glass and Abram
K. Detwiler, against whom more true
bills are assured, several other promi
nent telephone officials will be involved.
While the telephone indictments are
being drawn the pending matters out
side OF the graft investigation will be
taken up. Some of these are consid-
cred particularly urgent. and the turn
ing of the Grand Jury's attention in
this direction will not only serve to
avoid complications in the securing of
graft testimony, but will give time
for the transcribing of the vast amount
of shorthand notes of testimony taken
before the Grand Jury which it has
been impossible to bring up to date.
The remaining telephone indictments
will probably be filed in court before
the trolley or gas deals are taken up,
so as to dispose of all necessity of
reverting to this phase of the question.
The. developments. promised when the
Grand Jury begins this line of investi-
CATION will be more sensational than
any which have yet occurred.

the excitement of the last week over
the sensational charge made at the
White House concerning a political

that HTihu Root is to leave the Cabinet.
The reason given for his reported re-

political plans of the President have
developed. The story goes that Sec

to have been surprised greatly at the

Shortridge Says
Speedy Trial Is
Sought for Ruef
Declares Captive Boss
Counsel Intends to
Proceed Rapidly

What will be the next development
in connection with Ruers trial? Well.
we are going ahead just as fast as we
can. 1t won't take two months or two
weeks to select jury. We ought to
have it in two days. and I believe we
will"
Such was statement made yester-
day by Attorney Samuel shortridge of
Ruefs counsel. This talk of speedy
trial" savors OF something that has
been said every now and then for some
months past by Ruefs lawyers. but
Shortridge. however, says he means it
this time.
How about Ach's statement that it
would take until Christmas to secure
a jury which is to try Ruef?' Short
ridge was asked.
oh, Henry was just joshing when
he said that" was the answer We
want to get a jury and get this trial
over with just as fast as we can. I
don't see why there should be any more
delay. All the preliminaries have been
disposed OF now. There is nothing
more to prevent our going ahead at
once. and it isn't such hard mat
ter to get a jury. I really think we
will have one within a couple of days"
The persistent rumor that ,Ruef con-
templates adding additional members
to. his attorney list was positively de-
MED yesterday by members Of his legal
STAFF, who declared that to their knowl-
edge no such move is or has been con-
by the imprisoned boss.
