IN HONOR OF WRIGHT.
General Baron KuroIzi Gives Lunch
con at Toxic.

Toxic, July General Baron Ku-
roki, the japanese imperial envoy to
the Jamestown exposition, gave
luncheon today in honor of Luke E.
Wright, the American ambassador.
Field Marshal Oyama, representing
the army expressed himself in most
appreciative terms of the magnificent
reception accorded General Kuroki
and his party everywhere in the Unit
ed States. His phraseology was one
long chain of superlatives of gratify
ing appreciation in which the Japa-
nese language is particularly rich.
Ambassador Wright made an appro-
pirate reply and most cordial feelings
prevailed. The anti-Japanese, or what
is known here as the American ques-
tion was completely ignored.

TRY TO KILL COPS.
Negroes Make War on the Police of
New York.

New York, July 5.-Ponceman Ed
ward Conrad was probably fatally in
jured in a race riot which occurred in
Upper New York late last night. At
tempts were made to kill other police
men, scores of negroes were severely
dubbed and five arrests were made
before the trouble was brought under
control.
The trouble started when Police
man Conrad seized a negro who was
discharging a pistol on the streets.
Immediately hundreds of negroes ran
to his aid, seized the policeman, slash
ed him with razors and kicked and
beat him. White residents came to
Conrad's aid and in few moments a
goodly row was on. Reserves from
two precincts had to be called to quell
the rioting.

IT'S TRUE AFTER ALL.
Naval Story Denied by Loeb Is Con-
firmed by Secretary NIetcaK.

Oakland, Gala, July 5.-Secretary OF
the Navy Victor H. Metcalf in an in
terview has confirmed the report that a
large part of the United States navy
will be seen in Pacific waters next win
ter. Eighteen or twenty of the largest
battleships will come around Cape Horn
on a practice cruise and will be seen in
San Francisco harbor.
Many false impressions have gained
circulation about the proposed move
ment of this part of the United States
navy" said Secretary Metcalf. ''I have
held all along that there was practically
no significance to this movement from
a military standpoint. I might have
stated before leaving washington exact
ly what I am saying now. I thought as
the news concerned the people of the
Pacific coast today would be an appro-
pirate time to announce the exact
plans.
'It is the policy Of the navy depart
ment at the present time to keep the
fleet in American waters as much as
possible. 1t is also our policy, as has
been stated, to keep as large number
of battIeships together as possible. We
might as well spend the money that is
devoted to our navy in America ports
as abroad. In the past we have sent
squadrons to various European nations
with less advantage than in keeping
them at home.
L nave pIdIILSQ Tie
Cape Horn for the practice of the
squadron. How long they will spend in
these waters 1 cannot say at present. I
can promise the people of Oakland and
San Francisco that they will see one of
the finest naval spectacles ever Witness
ed in Pacific waters.
II hope that the talk of Japanese trou-
BILE and of interna tional differences may
be dropped by all of the newspapers.
There is nothing to produce any feeling
ie oil M a
is without foundation. The story that
Ambassador Aoki is in dfsfavor with his

FIRST CAR OF NEW WHEAT.

Injured 2,153 as Result Of
Celebrating the Fourth.
Five More Killed Than Last
Year But Fewer Injured.
NEW YORK CITY LEADS
Pittsburg Is Second With a
Loss of Nine Lives.
Toy Pistol Claims Fewer Victims
Than for Last Year.

: Chicago. July 5.-The Tribune today
says:
Thirty-seven men, women and chill
dren are dead and 2.153 are MANNED.
lacerated or burned as a result of yes
terday's excess of patriotism in the Unit
ed States. The number of the dead does
not include five owned during the day.
The roster of the dead is five more
than last years mortality.
A year ago 80 persons were dead on
the morning after the Fourth, not in
Guiding five drowned.
Unfortunately the death roll will in
crease day by day, and even the late
days of August will witness additions to
it.
Tetanus, that grim aftermath OF gum
powder wounds, claims it's victims by
scores and even by hundreds for weeks
after the Fourth.
New York leads all the cities of the
United States in the number of killed
and injured. Ten persons are dead In
that city while six more are so serious
ly hurt that it IS expected they will die
within few hours. At the New York
hospitals 423 injured persons were treat
ed. No record was made of the number
Of dispensary cases cared for
The police doubtless averted a greater
casualty list by arresting 428 men and
boys for carrying weapons.
There were 16 fires in Greater New
York during the day.
These figures break all Fourth of July
records for the big metropolis.
Pittsburg, Pa, ran New York close
second in the grim race, nine persons
yielding up their lives on the. altar OF
frenzied patriotism.
Chicago, although the second city OF
the country, added only two dead to the
nations total
The total number of injured, 2,153, is
under last years figures, which were
2,789
The figures show that this year, as
last the most of the casualties We're
due to carelessness in handling firecrack-
ers and other forms of harmless ex-
plosives.''
Victims of gunpowder this year, stand
second in number, but show marked
decrease from last years figures.
The crusade against the deadly toy
pistol seems to be bearing fruit as this
year only 205 victims are reported as
against 304 last year.

BIG SUM ALLOWED
Brewery Receivers Given Com
pensatiOn by Court.
Four Thousand Two Hundred
Fifty Dollars Each.
THIS is NOT IN FULL.
Will BE Paid More as Occasion
Arises.
Schlitz Company Must Pay
More Than Others.
THIS is NOT In FULL.

The supreme court this morning made
an allowance of $12,750 to the three
brewery receivers as a partial allowance
of fees in the four cases against the
Anheuser-Busch Brewing association.
the Schlitz Brewing company, the Helm
Brewing company and Pabst Brewing
company. The receivers made an appli-
cation for $13,500 for this partial allow
ance but the court cut the amount. Each
receiver was allowed the same amount
and the costs which had accrued while
they were taking charge of the brewery
property. The amount allowed each re-
ceiver from each company follows:
Joseph Schlitz Brewing company. 50, 900
Anheuser-Busch Brewing associa-
uon ...-.-..-.- observation-disclosures. Lou
Helm Brewing company ........ 500
Babst Brewing company ...-....... 500
Total allowance for each receiver .$4, ,250
With the exception of the Anheuser-
Busch case the receivers were allowed
all the money they asked for. In this
case the receivers asked for 81, 500.
This allowance is not the final amount
which the receivers will obtain as the
total will not be made until the cases
are ready to be closed up, the personal
property of the brewery companies re-
moved, the real estate sold and the court
costs estimated. At that time it is ex-
pected that the receivers will apply for
additional fees in addition to the costs.
In the allowance made today the costs
which have accrued since the receivers
began work were added together and
proportioned among the companies ac-
cording to the amount of property hand
led and the costs will be in addition to
the receivers fee.
In the complete reports of the bust
ness done to date the receivers say that
they have taken charge of property
worth 100000 of the Schlitz Brewing
company, $75, 900 of the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing association $4,000 of the Pabst
Brewing company. The receivers say
they cannot tell the exact amount of
property owned by the Helm Brewing
company on account of the close busi-
ness relations of the brewery companies
in Kansas City.
The court apportioned costs in the
cases to be paid for as follows:
Schlitz company ..........-..........$1 $50
Observation-Disclosures. 100

SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS
OF USUAL CHARACTER
New York Resumes Its En-
tertdiRmeRtS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-(Spe9iaD -
Some relaxation was experienced
yesterday as compared With the two
previous Sundays The relief offered
by the aldermen was sufficient to
permit the conducting of nearly all
shows which had been open be-
fore Justice Gormau's ruling
The exception were the moving pic
ture shows of the East Side, which
were not allowed to open, although
the proprietorrs of some promised to
picture only Biblical scenes. The
peep shows of the penny arcades, how
ever, were held admissible. a line
of easy distinction being drawn be-
tween views that moved and those
that stood still.
The theatres, opera houses and
the higher class of music halls con-
tinued closed as before. The vaude-
vile houses confined their programs
to sketches, monologues, stereoptican
exhibitions and singings. The only
departure of consequence from the
weekday presentation was that stag
business" was eliminated Cos
tunes, scene shifting and make
ups" were barred. Dancing was also
prohibited on the stage, but for those
who would dance for their own en-
tertainment the dancing academies
we're open. Skating Kinks, too, were
again in full swing.
The police were embarrassed at
times in determining just what was
or was not sacred or educational,
particularly in the cases of the Chi
nese and Yiddish theatres, but the
freedom from arrests of the day con
vinced police headquarters that the
theatrical people generally had OBJ
served both the spirit and the letter
of the law.
