WASHINGTON. D. c., June 6.-The
government investigation has indefi-
nitely established the fact that the in
cident of the attack upon a Japanese
restaurant and the Folsom bath house
at San Francisco, of which the Japa-
nese government seen fit to make an
international affair, was merely an or
binary street row which would have
been passed without notice by any
other government.
Instead of having been a precon-

NEW ASSAYING PROCESS.
State College Students Discovers New
Method.

PULLMAN, June 6.-While assaying
ores by the electrolytic methods in gen.
eral use by the big assay offices, E. r.
Pickerell, of the State colleges senior
class in mining, found that such meth
ods were not as satisfactory as he de-
sired. Upon experimentation, he
found that by using direct current of
120 volts. and stepping it down with an
eight volt light and rheostat to a cur
rent of 0.5 amperes and eight volts, the
electrolytic copper assay could be made
in the short time of two and one-half
hours, instead of II to IA hours, as is
usually the case in assay offices using
the general electrolytic method. Mr.
Pickerell, experimental with ores from
Phoenix and Rossland, B. c.; Butte,
Montana; .Hadley, Alaska: and two
camps in Washington. The ores ran
from one to 70 per cent copper. He
ran the samples in triplicate. Most of
them checked to hundrelths, an average
of all the assays being one tenth of one
per cent.

WOMEN At scAM|Tz TRIAL
Crowd Courtroom and Take Inter.
est In WoPdy Conflicts

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, June g.
Little groups of women dotted the au-
dience and followed the testimony of
witnesses with careful interest and
smiled with appreciation when the op-
posing attorneys clashed in wordy con-
fiicts. By 10 o'clock every bench in
the court room was filled, the crowd
again standing in the aises Schmitz
was surrounded by his full quota of
attorneys. He still maintains a conf
dent attitude.
Charles S. Kelly, secretary of the po-
lice commission, was the first witness,
his testimony having nothing more in
teresting that a dreary recital of the
records of the commission during the
time the French restaurants were be-
ing attacked by Police Commissioners
Hutton and Reagan. Thomas Reagan
was recalled to resume his story of the
mayors assault upon the restaurants.
He said the mayor told him to vote
against all French restaurant licenses
which he did.
Il told the mayor" said Regan, 81
had heard that $2S,0OO had been raised
by the French restaurants with which
to secure licenses. The mayor told
me he would investigate the report
and a few days later asked me to vOut.
for the licenses. He said l should
vote for the licenses on political
grounds as many rich people patron
ize the French restaurants, they will
be angry if l closed them.
Il told the mayor he had made me
close them and now l could not vote
for them
Il saw the mayor at his home the
next Sunday as he asked me to come.
He received me cordially, took my hat
and coat, led me down stairs to the
commissioners house, then the mayor
opened up the subject of the chairman
ship of the police board. He worked
himself into a terrible passion and ac-
cused me of opposing his candidate for
the craftsmanship. He said he had a
notion to instantly demand my resig-
nation. l said he could, then things
soon calmed down. Pretty soon Abe
Ruef appeared and the mayor gave us
whiskey and cigars. Ruef said
'"Tom meaning me, We will vote for
the French restaurants No he
won't, said the Mayor"

Witness admitted his brother entered
into a written contract for the consid-

maintained his brothers mental fac

understand the agreement he was en-

Here the counsel for defendant and
counsel for plaintiff clashed as to
whether this should be accepted as ev-

They then unsuccessfully tried to kill
Governor Peabody. According to Or
cnard the latter was desired to be
killed by Haywood who said if Pea
body was ever again seated as COVER

He, Adams, and Steve Ackerman

the bomb to a doorway a block away
Everything was white with snow. AS

He took the bomb and reported his

that David Moffat big Denver finan-
cier, was behind the entire proposition
to kill the federation. Haywood asked
him to investigate his residence and
see if he could get an opportunity to
kill him. He and Adams spent several
days watching the Moffatt home but
finally decided it would be a risky job
to kill Moffatt. Later Haywood pur-
