this trade piracy possible by senti-
mental adherence to the policy of pro-

when in truth the output of that same

cludes the output of foreign and pau

fallacy that high or protected wages

made it possible, through trade COM

BooDLER INDICTED

A NDREW M. (Boodler) WILSON,
IN . the self-confessed CRATER who
now holds the Office of state rail-
road commissioner, has been indicted
by the San Francisco grand jury on
charges of accepting and agreeing to
accept brides from the United Rail-
roads. Believing his armor of immunity
would protect him, Wilson, according to
the belief of the graft prosecution, per-
jured himself when he testified in the
Ford trial that he had held out no
promise of brides to his fellow thieves
on the board of supervisors. The
"boodler's' failure to tell the truth
when lie would do him no good seems
to have angered Prosecutor Heney, and
in his session with the grand jury yes
terday the assistant district attorney
secured the indictment of Wilson and
his associate perjurer, Coffey. That
Wilson was promised immunity at all
is cause of regret; that his indictment
by the grand jury should SAVIOR of
Heney vengeance is distasteful; but
what will be received with rejoicing by
all honest citizens of the state is that
the boodlers fatal slip has opened the
way to the penitentiary, and his indict-
ment and probable conviction may re-
move this blot from California's politi-
cal 'scutcheon.

TRICKS OF TRADE

A LEADING London trade journal
u says; 1.-The American steel trust
IA is securing the world for orders
for heavy rolled steel, and has even
gone SO far as to take orders for
American made rails abroad, contrary
to the International rail agreement"
When it is remembered that our high
protective tariff on steel was originally
adopted to protect American working
men from competition with the pauper
labor of Europe it will be seen that the
foreign manufacturer has cause to
wonder at the unique state of trade as
well as the people of the United States
have. In any event, the fact that rails
made here and shipped to foreign coun-
tries can undersell rails made where
free trade and pauper labor obtain is
fact we wish to bring to the attention
Of earnest and honest men. The steel
trust is now and has been piling up
millions of money by reason of high
protective tariff. enacted to protect
American woFkingmen from the alleged
competition of free trade and cheap la
Dor, and the major part of the American
and sold at a price not only lower than
similar stock is sold for here, but at a
price that captures the foreign market
and creates dread in the minds of for
eign financiers.
The question naturally arises in the
minds of business men, if the steel
trust can make and sell rails in Europe
cheaper than the same grade of rails
can be made and sold by the Europeans
why protect that trust from a COM
petition which it cheerfully and eagerly
seeks and overcomes? The real answer
can come only from a bakers dozen
of United States senators who, with
the "stand pat" element of the Repub-
lican congress-. sit as toll gatherers for
the trusts and garb their questionable
act in the drapery of party fealty. How
long will the American people submit
to such things? n,
| Chairman Gary of the steel trust in a
recent interview is reported as being
in high glee over the great crop pros
poets throughout the country. the value
of which is set at 1880, 100000, for the
reason that this great flood of money
will open up home demand for struc-
tural steel and his trust will be en-
abled to obtain higher prices for its
output in the home market than it could
get in the foreign market for the same
stock; and here we have the animns
for the work of the steel trust and
also a condemnation of the prevailing
tariff On steel. While money was tight
and the market weak in America the

GERMANS SAY ENGLAND AND
U. s. MUST BE TREATED ALIKE
BY Associated Press.

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-The newspapers here
today devoted considerable space to dis
cussing the relations between the United
States and Japan, which also is the sub
jeet of much comment in the government
offices at Berlin incidental to Secretary
Tafts arrival in Toxic, his reception there
and the recent disturbances in British
Columbia, which are regarded as being
embarrassing to Japan as placing it be-
yond her power to ask anything from the
United States which she does not ask
from Great Britain.
: A private report from Vancouver re-
ceived here says that quite movement
is under way there to show the dominion
government that British Columbia might
prefer an attempt at secession rather
than submit to unrestricted Japanese I'm
migration.
A member of the board of managers of
the Krupp works In an interview today
denied the current report that the Jap
anese government had ordered about
thirty naval twelve-ineh guns of the
Krupp works. Japan, he said, had been
negotiating for months on the subject of
these guns, but no contract had yet been
signed, There is no hurry in the matter,
and Japan may decide to wait until her
orders can be filled at the English gun
works.

considers the situation from the stand
point of sanity and real patriotism OF
each country it is difficult to characterize
in polite moderate language the conduct
of those who are attempting to pro-
mote MISUNDERSTANDING and Ill feeling
between the two countries. 1t gives me
pleasure to assure the people OF Japan
that the good will of the American people
toward Japan is as warm and cordlai as
ever The suggestion of breach IN the
amicable relations between them finds no
confirmation in public opinion in the
United States"
Mr.. Taft said 1t gave him great pleas
ure to bring this message of good Will
from President Roosevelt.
In conclusion the secretary said ne felt
that the fact that the japanese emperor
had for the second time honored him with
an invitation to an audience was Que 10
his majestys desire to send message or
good will to the United States and show
to the world that the Japanese were
friendly to the Americans.
Mr.. Taft's speech was greeted with en-
thusiastic applause. After the banquet
the assembly room was the scene of re-
markable manifestation of good Will,
every body congrat ulating every body else
on what was considered to be complete
removal of the "little cloud which has
been hanging over the fifty years or
friendship between the United States and
Japan and rejoicing at the fact that
final damper had been placed upon SEN
sational utterances regarding the posi-
bility OF strained relations between the
two countries.
An especially pleasing effect was pro-
duced by the secretary's remarks about
the japanese emperor's intentions to send
a, message of good will to the United
States.
Secretary Taft's busiest day in Japan
began today with a reception and
luncheon given in his honor by Foreign
Minister Hayashi at the arsenal which
was attended by all the officials of the
government departments, making 1t the
most brilliant function of his visit.
Replying to the speech of welcome de-
livered by the war minister, Lieutenant
General Terauchi, Mr.. Taft made his
acknowledgment of the courtesy extended
to him and his delight at being once more
in Japan.
After luncheon Mr.. Taft accompanied
by the staff of the American embassy,
went to Yokohama, where he held re-
ception of American residents. The party
returned to Toxic later and will be the
guests tonight at dinner of III. Percival
Dodge, first secretary of the American
embassy.

SOUTHERN TRACK
WORLD SURPRISED
DEFEAT OF u. S. C. BY POMONA
UNEXPECTED
Los Angeles High School Students Are
Jubiant Regarding Victory of
Team in Relay Race
at Stanford

Two distinct surprises relative to
Southern California track life occurred
in the meets held at Pomona and STAN
ford Saturday. University of Southern
California students sustained a shock
when their Clairemont opponents won
the intercollegiate event on Alumni
field.
Los Angeles high school supporters
are rejoicing over the fact that their
relay team not only won from northern
opponets, but also downed the hitherto
invincible Harvard military men.
Pomonas victory is especially sig
nificant in that three local records We're
broken and one tied. Furthermore, the
new marks were set about speed and
distance events. With the slow track
it was scarcely expected that fast time
would be made. and the performances
of Spurgeon, Himrod and Johnson are
to be regarded as all the more credit
able.

ing If foundation had been given the
story at Stanford. Sales responded to
the effect that he intended bringing

Added interest is effected with the
news that Oakland high school, win

will come south for competition. Word
was received last night that the crack
northern high school squad would be
on deck to win, If possible, further

Coach Holmes has set today as final

regulations before this evening.
To the team winning championship

OWNERS PREPARE
TO GET AWAY
BENNlNGS SEASON WILL OPEN
TODAY
Many Local Stables Are Being Sent
East-Pro longed Winter In
terferes with
Training

Ascot owners are already preparing
to pack up and get away. Many of
the local stables are now being sent
east, where the season opens at Ben
nings today. Aqueduct will be running
by April Is and metropolitan racegoers
are eagerly anticipating another joy
Gus round with the ponies and books.
That the Washington course is no
longer regarded as a second or third
rate track is shown by the class of
horses entered in the feature event of
the opening day, the Spring Bennings
handicap
Sixty blue -blooded racers have been
nominated to start in the stake, and
on the list are seen the names of such
noted performers as Salvidere, Dande-
lion, Tangle, Okenite, Orphan Lad,
Cederstrome, Tickle and Rose of Dawn.
Some of these are in all probamibiity
merely complimented entries; yet it is
the first time the Bennings feature has
been honored in this way. In fact few
of the real top notchers are ready and
the field will probably be small
That the Bennings meeting will be
a great success there can be no doubt,
for racing has a stronger hold on the
eastern public than ever before. Hun
dreds of New Workers will see at least
part of the meeting, for washington is
but five hours away, and the attrac-
ton will be too strong to keep away
the real enthusiasts with the time and
money to spare.
But for the system of perambulat-
ing bookmakers in vogue at Washing
ton the attendance from Gotham would
probably be a great deal bigger. New
Workers do not relish the search for the
layers after each race, and there is al
ways the chance of being victimized
by fake layers.
Some bettors have trouble enough in
finding the men they do business with
even under the simple system of the
| local tracks.
| Washington's meet, however, will b'
deeply interesting to New York. Dur
ing it's running thousands of student
of form will resume their studies, ant
by the time Aqueduct opens they viii
have, or think they have, a good lin

Those that have carefully followed
the erratic racing of the south anC

Joyner has been knocking at the
door ever since he started here and

He Is not particularly fond of the
going, but outclasses this lot and will
take a lot of beating. Parvo likes the
going, has a lot of early speed and
may get so far in front that they will
never catch him. Roman Boy likes
the going and will run a good race.
Mohur should go well and has an
excellent chance.
Jersey Lady, the oaks winner, with
only a feather on her back, figures a
shade the best in the second race, but
will have no cinch. Silver Stocking
has been working well and showed
class by running well up with such
good ones as Don Domo, Pantouhe
and Won Tromp. Lacene always per-
forms well in the heavy going and
should finish close up. Daruma should
run a good race, but she is a bad
breaker and is unreliable as a betting
proposition. Sainrida is the star dam
ger here, as she won her last race
in such easy style that there is no
telling how good she may be.
The third race is a scramble for
2-year-olds, so select fast breakers at
the barrier, as they have an advan-
tage in short race that is difficult

be hard horse to beat in this going,
and IS he led Sir Edward before may

should fight it out for third money,
as Cello cannot lift his feet in the
going.
An ordinary lot of maidens will face
the starter in the fifth race and racing
luck will have to be considered in such
large field. Big Store is a quick
breaker at the barrier and he may
lead all the way. Elota likes the
going and will give the top one a
stiff argument for first honors. Irish
