l,lOO Japanese, Chiuese and
HinduS Had to Land at
Victoria.
MOB WAITED At DOCK
Vancouver Mayor Could Not
Guarantee Their Safe Landing.
WhitesDemand Discharge of
Orientals Employed atVan.
Couver..Threaten Strike.

OTTAWA, Ont, Sept 12.-Advices
from Vancouver the scene of the re-
cent race riots, state that the Mayor
of Vancouver has warned the captain
of the steamer Monteagle, which has
on board ia Japanese, 149 Chinese and
GAL Hindus destined for this port, that
he would be unable to guarantee a
safe landing here because the Union
lists have expressed their determination
to resist the immigration, of any more
Asiatic laborers
The steamship authorities feared to
assume the risk and the vessel has
been turned back to Victoria, where the
Asiatics' will be landed.
Vancouver Is reported as being COM
paratively quiet, but an outrage by
two Cinnamon yesterday has again in
famed the people. The Mongolians
while passing along one of the main
streets saw a white baby sitting on a
doorstep. They snatched it up and
threw it into the middle of the street,
which was busy with traffic. 1t fell
among the horses feet and narrowly
escaped death. Beyond being bruised
1t was not much the worse.
An angry crowd started in pursuit.
The Chinese had a good start and es-
capped. The fact that no arrests have
been made has not tended to allay the
temper of the people.
The City Council has passed bylaw
prohibiting a wrestling match which
was to have taken place Last might
between a white man and Japanese.
The entire Japanese colony had bought
tickets for the encounter and trouble
was threatened.
On board the Monteagle, which was
not allowed to land at Vancouver, were
hundreds of Chinese, Japanese and
Hindus. The Hindus formed the great
est part of the human cargo, and the
plan to ship them back to Ottawa, with
the compliments of Vancouver, is an
outcome of the recent Oriental disturb
ances.
The steamship company fearing trou-
BILE, landed nearly all of the Japanese
at Victoria At Vancouver, the dock
was roped off for two blocks and heav-
lily guarded by company employees and
police.
Last night an attempt was made to
land the Hindus. An immense crowd
had gathered and the officials were
afraid to let the Hinslus face the crowd
alone. They were returned to the ship.
The white labor unions yesterday
served thirty days notice on employers
of Orientals to replace foreigners with
white labor A refusal is to be met
with strikes and boycotts.
BELLINGHAM, Wash, Sept. 12.-
An anonymous letter received here yes
terday warns all japanese and Chi
nese in this city to leave at once. Jap
anese working at the canneries are
armed and say they will resist any at
tempt to force them out Of town. The
Chinese, however, will not make a
strong stand.
e. B. Deming, general manager or
the Pacific American Fisheries, says
if the Orientals leave the salmon can
ming industry is doomed, as the Jap
anese are being persuaded to affiliate
with the labor unions.

SPOOK BISHOPS
HUSBAND AN
INCOMPETENT
Believer in Bright Eyes, -
Declared Incapable Of
Managing His Affairs.

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Edward Van
derbilt, the aged lumber merchant of
Brooklyn, who married Bishop" May
S. Pepper, the spiritualist medium, is
incapable of managing his affairs be-
cause of lunacy, according to a verdict
returned by a sheriff's jury in Brook
lyn today.
The proceedings to have Mr.. Wander
bilt declared incompetent were brought
by his daughter, Miss Minerva Van
derbilt after Mr.. Vanderbilt had mar
ried Mrs. Pepper several months ago
and had given to her a large portion
of the real estate which he owned in
Brooklyn, including the house in which
they lived.
Miss Vanderbilt asserted that her in
heritance rights were being disregarded
by these gifts and that she had been
left without a home. "A brother and
sister CT Mr.. Vanderbilt subsequently
Joined her in the appeal to the courts.
The hearing was held before a jury
and commission consisting of a ply
sician, a lawyer and a banker.
Much evidence was offered to show
that Mr.. Vanderbilt had received COM
munications which he supposed came
from the spirit of his former wife, now
dead, through another spirit called
Bright Eyes" for which latter spirit
Mrs. Pepper-V Vanderbilt declared that
she acted as medium of communica-
ton with mortals.
Mrs. Pepper Vanderbilt was put upon
the witness stand and questioned at
great length as to her ability to COM
municate with the spirits.
The jury retired at 8 p. m. yester-
day and reported to the commission
today after an all-night session. The
final vote was twelve for incompetency
against three for competency. This is
sufficient to constitute verdict.

TkTHEN I say that
 wv the depositors

TkTHEN l say that wv the depositors
 of the enorMous amount of money in the savings banks in this section (there being over two hundred mil- lion dollars so held in the State of Connecti- cut alone), offer a large field for the sale of honest securities; a field which has hitherto not been appreciated by the other dealers in legitimate securities, I don't mean to imply that a deposit in the savings bank is not a good thing.
 I do say however, that a large amount of this money would Dc invested in safe securities, which would now be returning the holder six per cent, besides his share of the increasing wealth, due to the great growth and wonderful pros perity of this country, If the methods of conducting the busi- ness of selling legitimate invest ments in the past had been such as to give the small individual investor square deal.
 How this applies to you per sonally, l shall tell you next week.
