AGAINST AMERICAN GOODS.
Japanese Will Establish Boycott As
Expression Of Displeasure.

Toxic. July 1.-The impression is
growing here that the anti-Japanesa
feeling and demonstrations in San
Francisco are the outcome of a deeply
laid plan based upon racial hatred and
the recent developments apparently
support this impression. The newspa-
perS here which had special cores
pondents of American nationality in
San Francisco have ceased tn receive
news from them. No explanation was
offered for the discontinuancc of news
dispatches. but the impression here Is
that pressure was brought to bear on
the correspondents in San Francisco
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 SER
iously alienated IL prompt measures
are not taken to allay the general in
dignatiOn here against the latest dis
elimination in San Francisco, which
according to Japanese contention, is q
fragrant violation Of treaty rights.
Apparently certain measures Of retail
iatiOn are being contemplated in busi-
ness circles. Just what action will be
taken has not yet developed. but boy
colt against American goods, 1t is be-
licvcd. will certainly be one of the
steps taken.

is charged by the defence with having
done much towards starting the strike
which led to all the Cripple Creek dis
turhanC"S.
After recess Mr.. barrow continued to
read from the reports of the Pinkerton
tricts. In regard to the report of J. n.
Lordoner it was shown that this oper-
ative was not employed by the Mine
Owners Association, but was sup
poscdly working against the military

land mine. which was continuing to
employ union men and was not disturb
ed during the strike After the indie

afraid the Portland mine might be at

pot WAS to be blown up just prior to
the arrival of the go A. NJ. train. the
idea being not to kill anybody, but to
carry out the affair as an attempted
outrage on the part of the Western
Federation of Miners.

While the health department is aiding

Conditions on tho East side are fast
becoming intolcrable. Great heaps of

authorities say that few men apply for
the positions of the strikers.
The health department officials hav-

Boise, July with the opening of
the Haywood trial Mr.. barrow for the
defence, recalled to the stand Morris
Friedman, the stenOgraphcr formerly
employed at the Denver office of the
Pinkcrton detective agency. Friedman
was introduced by the defence to ex-
pose the Pinkcrton methods of dealing
with the Western Federation of Miners
Friedman spent the first half hour on
the stand in identifying many reports
from secret operatives, which he says.
he made copies of while i'm the Pinker-
ton office. He also identified three let
tiers alleged to have been written by
James Mcfarland, superintendent of
the Pinkertons in the West; and the
records of several operatives.
Senator BOrah for the state, asked
permission to examine the letters sign
ed by Mr.. Mcfarland but was refused.
81 have not decided whether to offer
these letters officially in evidence" ex-
planned Mr.. barrow.
he prosecution offered no objection
to the reports of the detectives and
many of them were read to the jury by
Mr.. DarrOw.
The first of the detective reports
showed that an operative named A. w.
Gratias handled the Fcderation's relief
funds at GlObeville during-the strike
and that GratiaS cut down the relief
i'm order to create sentiment against
Haywood. The succeeding reports
dealt with tho federation convention in
Denver in May and June. 1904. the ac-
tionS and sentiments of the miners pro-
cccdingS Of tho district of the union
mine workers of America in Colora 10
in 1908.
The object in putting the reports in
was to cOrroborate the testimony of
Friedman. given last Saturday. to the
effect that the Pinkertons placed spies
i'm the Defendants locals of the Western
Federation of Miners with instructions
to report daily.
MIR. barrow next read reports from
Ihiiander p. Bailey. known as "Oper-
ativc No q" They were dated from
Victor. Col, during the Cripple Creek
81 rikc. One of these letters was pure
ly formal, detailing the proceedings Of
a union meeting. The letters developed
the district as had been mentioned by
the speakers of interviews with MEM
berS of the union.
Mr.. Darrow read two reports from
Pinkcrton Operative j. n. Londoncr,
now assistant superintendent in the
Denver office. The reports We're from
Victor. Col. at the time of the Indc-
