IN DEFIANCE OF ALL LAW.

Japanese Continue to Pour Into the
Country in Spite Of Legislation.
Washington, June 2:- At the time
when the Japanese ambassador was
protesting against the treatment of his
fellow countrymen in San Francisco,
and while the Japanese themselves at
the Golden Gate were passing resolu-
lions demanding protection from the
authorities, other Japanese, in de-
fiance of law and the proclamation of
the president, were sneaking over our
border by scores and by hundreds and
probably by thousands.
The frontier is like a sieve and the
Japanese are streaming in at every
hole now under one pretext and now
under another. They are coming Sc
cretly from Mexico and from Canada,
and openly with forged papers through
Seattle and San Francisco.

MEAT TRUST ROBS THE PUBLIC
SCHEME EXPOSED BY WHICH
PUBLIC Is FORCED TO PAY
FOR SHORTAGE.

New York, June 1. "A gigantic
scheme by which the meat trust robs
the public was revealed in the Myrtle
avenue police court, Brooklyn, when
Harry Schmidt, an employee of Armour
& Co., the Chicago packers, was ar
raigned on a charge of having sold
meat at short weight.
The arrest of Schmidt followed an
extensive investigation made by in
spectors of the bureau of weights and
measures. They have found that on
every box marked as containing fifty
pounds Of chickens there is a shortage
of four pounds or more. The trust will
only sell at "box weights.
Butchers throughout the country are
paying 16 cents a pound for boxes sup.
posed to contain fifty pounds of chick
ems. They receive only forty-six
pounds and so lose 65 cents on every
box.
1t is necessary for the butchers to
add this additional cost to the retail
price, so the public has to foot the
bill. This practice has been going on
for nearly a year, but the butchers
have feared to take action, knowing
that the trust would retaliate by dis
eliminating against them.
Magistrate Manner, before whom
the case against Schmidt was up for
hearing, was indignant at the revela,
lions made.
Il will hold this prisoner for trial
in the general sessions" he said, "and
in the meantime trust steps will be
taken to bring an action against the
officials of Armour & Co., who have
guilty knowledge of this fraud"

terry Of United States troops, thirteen

organizations. The parade route of
two miles was lined with cheering
masses of people.
Wants Government Control.
In his speech the president advocat-
ed the government regulation of rail-
roads. Briefly outlined, his sugges-
lions are: Give the government full
control of interstate traffic; subject
pervision; provide supervision of
bond and stock issues; seek protection
Of investors in railroads; demand COM
plete publicity in all business; hold
officers criminally liable for misusing
funds; permit traffic agreements bene-
fitting the public; avoid confiscation
of railroad property; secure shorter
hours for train operators; provide Tor
physical examination of roads; perfect
uniform accounting system.
The president declares that census
reports tend to show that railroad
properties are worth as much as the
securities representing them.
The Good Railroad Man.
According to the president the good
railroad man operates his road FOR per-
manent profits; keeps in touch with
people along the line; not so familiar
with speculative market; seeks fair re-
turn for stockholders; does not seek
temporary advantage; treats road as
business, not speculation.
Vice President Fairbanks made a
short address following the president.
At the conclusion of the exercises
the president and vice president were
driven to Crown Hill cemetery, where

grave of Former President Benjamin
Harrison.
