JAPANESE TAKE NOTICE
San Francisco Incidents Having Re-
hex Action on Toxic.

TOXIC, July 1.-The impression is grow
ing here that the anti-Japanese feeling and
demonstrations in San Francisco are the out
come Of deeply laid plan based upon
racial hatred, and the recent developments
apparently support this impression. The
newspapers here which had special CORE
spondents of American nationality in San
Francisco have ceased to receive news from
them. No explanation was offered for the
discontnuance of news dispatches, but the
impression here is that pressure was
brought to bear upon the correspondents
in San Francisco not to serve the Japa-
nese papers. The fear is expressed that
the danger point will soon be reached AL
though war is not dreamed of, the mutual
feelings of good will and friendship will
be seriously alenated if prompt measures
are not taken to allay the general indgna-
ton here against the latest discrimination
in San Francisco, which. according to Jap
anese contention, is fragrant violation of
treaty rights.
Apparently certain measures of retalia-
ton seriously being contemplated by in
fiuential men in political and business cir
cles Just what action will be taken has
not yet developed, but a boyctt against
American goods, it is believed will certainly
be one of the steps taken.

magnificent monument to the memory of

while the daughter of the dead man, Mrs.
Falkenburg Falls, still had an application
pending in the district court asking for a
permanent injunction restraining the Wood
men from using the name of her father on
the monument.
There was a good representation of the
leading officials of the order at the cere-

the memorial address.
Uniformed companies from Omaha, Kan

Duke, who had publicly referred to him as
a card sharper, murderer and thief and
had asserted that he had caused his cele-
brated mare Sceptre to be pulled for the
Derby. The jury decided that Duke had
not committed any libel and made Sewer
pay the costs of the suit. In the month
following the trial of the case Sewer was
arrested on charge of perjury in connec-
