SIR WILFRID LAuRiER SAYS
HE DEPREcATEs LAWLEssNEss

81 Associated Press
OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 10.-R. G. Mac.
Pherson member of parliament from
Vancouver, conferred today with Pre-
mier Laurier regarding the Japanese
invasion of the Pacific coast. Mr.. Mac
Pherson subsequently said:
''Sir Wilfrid Laurier has been actively
engaged on the question since he re-
turned from England and is convinced
that a solution is at hand. 1 had a most
satisfactory interview with the premier.
You can say that 1 deprecate any act
Of lawlessness. I fully realize that such
conduct makes the question all the more
difficult to settle. We have no desire
to interfere with the good feeling that
exists between Canada and Japan as
two nations and / do not think that
Japan has any desire to disregard our
feelings"
The following message was sent yes
terday by Sir Wilfrid Laurier to the
mayor of Vancouver:
His excellency the governor general
has learned with deepest regret of in
dignities and cruelties of which certain
subjects of the emperor of Japan, a
friend of his majesty the king, have
been the victims, and he hopes that
peace will be promptly restored and all
offenders punished.
(Signed) 'WILFRID LAURIER."

LONDON TAKING SERIOUS
VIEW OF THE DISTURBANCES

LONDON, Sept 10--If the long, and in
the main serious comment by most of the
morning papers on the vancouver IN
cident and the space devoted TO it may
be taken as a criterion, the British pub
lie has at last awakened to the import
ance of the Asiatic question and the fact
that IL Is one of the greatest issues con-
fronting their most important colonies.
It is true that efforts are made to
picture the industry, patience and other
good qualities of the Japanese and make
much of the fact that such incidents of
racial prejudice are rare under the Brit
ish flag, that thBy have never before
occurred in British Columbia, and that
the trouble will be settled amicably on
Just lines. Some papers also endeavor
to attribute it to the influence of the San
francisco labor unions.
Neither the colonial office nor the
foreign office has received official informa-
ton regarding the anti-Asiatic riots at
Vancouver. Two long dispatches have
been received at the Japanese embassy
from Canada but these have not been
communicated to the British govern
ment. The colonial office directors say
from Ottawa on the subject and that
while the event is greatly regretted
the imperial authorities are sure the mat

British government in connection with
the attack upon Japanese in Vancouver
1t is pointed out that the British gov
ernment may be disposed to extreme
moderation in the Bellingham case by
reason of Its knowledge of the general
animosity felt toward the Hindus by
Anglo-S Saxons in every part of the
world, where the two classes come In
contact.
In South Africa only Natal affords
anything like fair treatment to the
Hlndus and the other states of the con-
federation have practically driven them

the same treatment is meted out ana
the British government itself having
fallen into tacit recognition of the
impossibility of forcing these coolies
into competition with white labor In
it's own colonies, according to the view
here. would probably be very much em-
barrassed in finding suitable language
in which to frame a protest to America.

large as the fine assessed against the

RIOT PLANNED TO IMPRESS
IsHII, is BELIEF AT SEATTLE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 10.-The Ore
gohian today prints the following from
Seattle:
EVERY indication is that the Van
couver, B. c., riots were carefully plan
ned to impress K. Ishii, chief of the
bureau of foreign commerce. 1t is sig
nificant that the leaders of the Seattle
organization against Japanese immigra-
tion were in Vancouver heading the dem
onstration. Frank w. Cotterill, president
of the Washington state federation of
labor; A. E. Fowler, secretary of the
anti-Japanese and Korean immigration
league; George P. Listman, prominent
Seattle labor leader, all were present to-
gether with a big delegation of Amer
lean anti-Japanese sympathizers.
1.-THE significance of the Japanese riots
dates back to a program evolved when
it was announced that Ishii was coming
to Seattle 1t was then decided and tele-
praphed out of Seattle that the anti
Oriental organizations proposed to pre-
sent Ishii while he was in Seattle a
protest against Japanese immigration. AT
the time this plan was formulated it was
believed Ishii would spend a week in
Seattle and then go to Vancouver.
ssThere was planned at a conference be-
tween Vancouver and Seattle anti-Jap-
aneSe leaders all Lne uetdlS IOr d DlS
anti-Japanese demonstration in Vancou-
yer, September r. 1t developed that
Ishii did not have time to spend in Seat
tie and he went through to Vancouver.
simultaneously with his going, the local
leaders of the anti-Japanese society went
north. They were in Vancouver when
the outbreak occurred, and though an
nouncement is made in private letters
from anti-Japanese leaders that they
harangued the mob not to do violence,
the society itself believes the demonstra-
ton had to do with their presence.
sIt was impossible to present big
anti-Japanese petition to Ishii here, and
he refused to remain long enough for
the Vancouver demonstration September
12. There is no question whether Seattle,
Portland or San Francisco agitators took
part. The great bulk of the marching
and rioting throng was composed of
Canadians, and the Japanese officials ig-
nored American participants in the tele-
gram of protest to the Ottawa govern
ment.''
