The Minnesota's launch left Discov-
cry landing at the exposition grounds
shortly after midnight, and it was re-
ported here tonight that the naval Of
ficials had knowledge of the identity Of
a steamer which ran down the launch
and that the arrest of the crew Of the
steamer was expected s.

Tor crazy Mexican, who is supposed
TO have had a hand in the wreck, and
big reward has been offered for the
capture of those implicated
Monday a man called Jose Martinez
was brought before the superior court
OF Contra Costa county to be exam

COIN IS POURING IN

The general strike campaign commit
tee met last night in the Labor temple
and after canvassing the financial
situation decided that the receipts from
the various unions to the strike fund
would permit the increase of SO per
week to ali the married carmen next
Monday. Last Monday all the members
OF division EOS received q IS weekly
strike benefit
This sum- said Secretary o. A.
Tveitmoe Of the committee last night.
will be Increased next Monday TO IS
for the married men, and thereafter
each week there will be raise in the
strike benefits TO married and unmar-
rfed men alike. There are enough
funds IN sight to justify the statement
chat within q few weeks all the plat
form men out on strike will be getting
their regular weekly wage from or
ganized labor instead Of from the
United Railroads"
The strike campaign committee,
which was organized Sunday night at
a Joint meeting Of the labor council
and the building trades council with a
conference committee OF the carmen's
union, has taken over the financing of
all the strikes now on in San francisco
Secretary TVeitmoe stated last night
that there was not single union so
far appealed to but that had agreed 10
the assessment Of from 25 to so cents
a week per member, and that with
this sum, when all the unions have
been heard from, there viii be a guar
anteed fund large enough to keep the
strikers contented for a year, II neces-
sary.
That is the way organized labor is
standing together in san Francisco"
said Tveltmoe after the meeting last
night. "Can it be beat? We are en-
tirely satisfied with the progress thus
Far.
7 have just learned that cor
OneT,s jury tonight brought. in ver-
dict condemnIBg the United Railroads
fer operating cars which are unfit for
service. The death of an innocent man
is taken directly TO the door of Patrick
Calhoun. This car had broken down
air brake and wouldn't stop. This is
a regrettable fact. but proves that the
unions do not have to resort to violence
TO win a strike. The public viii learn
that Calhoun cannot run his railroads
without the men TO whom he seldshly
refuses to pay SO for an eight
hour day The rolling stock Of the
United Railroads is getting worse every
day. The road construction men are
quitting. When calhoun's cars can no
longer be run and his tracks are no
longer capable Of sustaining bis broken
down coaches perhaps he will learn
that organized labor in San Francisco
is g. stubborn fact"

SHOWS THAT JAPAN DID
NOT SANCTION MEASURE
Mystery as to immigration
Amendment Is Cleared
by Statement
TREATY is OBSERVED
Viscount Hayashi Declares
That Roosevelt Changed
Tentative Policy
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, June 11.-There has
always been a good deal of mystery
about the Japanese immigration amend
ment At the time of its adoption it
was believed generally by members Of
congress and others that it was passed
with the knowledge and approval OF
the Japanese government The inn
preston was conveyed that the jap
anese government welcomed the amend
ment as a graceful way of saving its
face and settling the school con-
troversy. 1t was also printed generally
that prior to the adoption of the
amendment Ii had been submitted to
the Japanese government, which had
fully approved of it's terms. The truth
is that not only did the Japanese gov
ernment not sanction the amendment,
but Japan was not consulted by the
president, according to the official
statement of the foreign minister.
After the passage of the immigration
bill Viscount Hayashi. the minister Of
foreign affairs. replying to an inter-
pellation by Mr.. Mochizuk in the house
of representatives, said that at the end
of January he had explained that, In
view of the friendly sentiments of the
president and the bulk Of the American
nation toward Japan. an amicable set
tlement of the school question seemed
imminent
AT that time" Viscount Hayashi
continued, "the case was waiting the
decision by the judiciary, but subse-
quently the president changed his
method and fell back upon the rights
secured to the United States by the
treaty, which change Of program had
not been made subject Of consulta-
tion with Japan"
This was not an agreeable alterna-
tion from Japan's point of view. bat
the presidents analysis OF the situa-
tion was understood to be that all
questions at issue in California-the
school question, the boycotting of Japa-
nese restaurants and the assaults upon
Japanese subjects-were morally sec
ondary troubles which would cease as
soon as the prime cause, labor immi-
grafton, was remedied.
As TO that, however, the president
had not consulted Japan. There is
conclusive proof that the Japanese gov
ernment was not consulted and did not
relish the amendment Under the cir
cumstances it will be naturally asked
why the Japanese government did not
protest or make its position more gen.
orally known.

ica emphatically denies. They have no alliance
with the progressives in Japan. neither do they
desire the overthrow Of the present ministry
The Japanese Of the Pacific coast are more inter
ested In the Immigration question and arp op-
posed to any law or treaty that will tend to dis
criminate against them.
The purpose of Mr.. o. Nodas visit to Washing
ton was to the Japanese ambassador, Wis.,
count Aoki, with regard to the recent attempted
anti-Japanese movement here. and to put the
real situation and condition of affairs before
means for removing anti-Japanese sentiment
here. The performance of this mission by Mr..
Of this coast and the ambassador expressed the
intention OF soon visiting San Francisco and the
coast with the desire Of creating and establish
ing better pro-Japanese feeling here. 1t is un-
derstood here that he will arrive shortly The
visit of Mr.. Yamaoka to Japan has no connec-
tion with the affairs of the association.
