TAYLOR'S MEN STOP
UNITED RAILROADS
ORDER SUFFER- STREET TROLLEY
WORK DISCONTINUED
Much Business of Public Importance
Transacted by San Francisco's
New Board of Super
vlsors
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-Mayor Tay-
lor's new board of supervisors met in or
binary session today and in the space
Of one hour inaugurated more business OF
public Importance than the old boarc
customarily transacted in months.
The board referred to a joint commit
tee a resolution directing the suffer
Street Railroad company to forthWlth
abandon the work of constructing two
track overhead trolley line on Market
street from Suffer to the ferry build
ing.
The Suffer- Street Railway company is
q sub-corporation of the United Rail-
roads and owns a franchise for cable
line on Market street between the points
named. Over this thoroughfare the
United Railroads operated trolley sys-
TEN.
Its franchise provides that not more
than one additional street car line snail
be there maintained. This additional
privilege Is held by the sub-corporatlon
and under its terms the United Rail-
roads is at present engaged in the COM
pletion of what would be four-track
trolley system.
The resolution introduced today takes
advantage of the fact that no right was
ever granted to the Suffer street railroad
to electrify it's old cable line on Market
from the ferry to Suffer street.
resolution was adopted directing the
finance committee of the board to ex-
anime the accounts of the city and coun-
ty auditor and the city and county treas
urer and count the moneys held by them.
Save Expense
Authorization was given for the employ
ment without expense" of builder and
an architect to examine and report upon
the condition of the hall of justice and
the city hall and suggest plans for MAX
ing them tenable at the earliest possible
moment The city is now paying $500
month rental for the housing of public
officials.
Initial steps were taken for the abolish
ment of the city and county commissary
department, a sinecure specially created
under the old regime without, 1t is de-
clared, any necessity in fact.
Resolutions were introduced and re-
ferred as follows:
For the calling of special bond cleo
ton August 81 to vote bonds for the Gre
alton and equipment of a salt water aux
iliary fire system; for the cancellation of
outstanding city and county hospital
bonds and the voting of new bonds for
the erection of city and county hospi-
tai (the old bonds carry 3h per cent in
terest and for that reason are largely I'M
salable).
The new bonds are to bear interest at
per cent, for the acquisition Of lands
for the preservation of Telegraph hill,
for the acquisition of land for a public
park.
The city engineer was directed to in
form the public utilities committee before
August of the exact status of the pro-
posed municipal Geary street railway sys-
tenn.

SWINEMUNDE, Aug. 5.-Emperor Will
| liam went upon the Russian imperial
yacht STANDARD today and took Emperor
| Nicholas with him on board the German
battleship Deutschland, the flagship of
Prince Henry of Prussia which after
| hosting the flag of a grand admiral and
both imperial standards stood out to sea
followed by thirty warships, attleships
and cruisers, to take part in a series of
maneuvers
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug 5.-Public
opinion here attaches much Importance to
the Sw1nemunde meeting only as affect
ing the progress of the Anglo Russian
negotiations, which will close soon.
The choice of the time for the inter-
view, just preceding the conclusion of the
Anglo-Russain accord, is taken as dem
onstration of the fact that the traditional
friendship of the Russian and German
courts remains intact and has not been
affected by the newer friendships.
The present state of the Anglo Russian
negotiations is such that Germany could
easily affect the ultimate issue. During
the last two years the Russian and Brit
ish governments have taken up success
sively all the questions affecting their
interests, especially in the middle east,
and while the utmost frankness has been
displayed on both sides, coupled with
evident willingness to receive a common
ground for agreement, yet up to the pres
ent the whole scheme is still in process
of negotiation, and a great deal depends
upon the deliberations of the next few
weeks
May Make Agreement
The understanding may be expanded
into political agreement similar to the
Anglo-French entente and it may be
contracted into a settlement of local
questions. In either case the delegations
have served to bring the two powers
closer together than they have been for
a century
Russian liberals whose sympathies natu-
rally favor Russia's adherence to the
Anglo-French group, venture the opinion
that the meeting of the emperors at
Swinemunde viii not exercise any appre
ciable effect upon Russian affairs. The
Russ, however, regrets that the interview
preceded the conclusion of the Russian
British agreement.
The Reisch, discussing the Novoe
Vremya's suggestion that Russia use her
good offices to reinstate Germany in the
confidence Of the western powers, ques-
lions whether Russian interests would be
benefited by a course of such action.
BERLIN. Aug. 5-The Russian foreign
minister M Iswolsky, communicated to
Chancellor Won Buelow on Saturday the
terms of the Russo British agreement.
The German government. the Associated
Press is semi-officially informed, has indt-
Gated its entire satisfaction, nothing
therein being regarded as detrimental to
Germany.
The agreement, it is affirmed in nom
official quarters, almost altogether con-
Germs the status quo in Asia, especially
in Persia.

JAPAN AND
u. S. FRIENDLY
ALL DIFFERENCES LIKELY TO BE
SETTLED AMIcABLY
IMMIGRATION LAWS MAY BE
REPEALED
Several Decades Hence, 1t Is Argued,
orientals viii Find Such compe-
tition Here That They Will Not
Come in Such Numbers

Ry Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. ga special from
washington says that Japan and the
United States propose to demonstrate to
each other and. to the world their mu-
tual desire to maintain close and friend
ly relations.
The demonstration is to take the form
of negotiations for the removal Of all diff
ferences which have arisen between them
AS a result of Investigations into Asiatic
immigration conditions which Secretary
of Commerce and Labor Strauss and the
Japanese commission are making, the
two governments will be in a position
to approach the settlement of the grave
exclusion question with a better appre-
citation of each others necessities and
embarra ssments. The Japanese ambas-
sador Viscount Aoki, has given the adj
ministration to understand that his gov
eminent is opposed to pelagic sealing,
which means it does not countenance In
any way the poaching operations of Jap
anese sealers, nor will it tolerate a like
operation in Japanese waters by Ameri-
can sealers
Beyond these two matters there are no
differences of any material consequence
to be adjusted
The question which is most difficult of
settlement is that of immigration. AL
though delegation of business men from
California came to Washington to urge
the president to take action toward less
ening Asiatic immigration there is no
doubt such action is impossible at the
present.
To Remove Restrictions
Eventually, in the judgment of the
president, all the immigration restric-
lions will be removed. AS he has pointed
out in conversation with the Japanese,
fifty years ago the latter refused to adj
NIT Americans into their country. Today
Americans do not admit Japanese. Fifty
years hence the objection of the United
States to the Japanese immigration will
have disappeared. and, moreover, the
density of population will be so great the
Asiatics will find sharper competition
than they do now and will not care to
come to this country.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-A special to the
Record-Herald from Washington says
that it is China and not even remotely
Japan that caused Washington authorities
to choose the Pacific for the next prac-
tice ground for a big battleship squad
ron. according to the deductions of some
students of affairs in the far east.
China as an entity is believed in GER
tain circles is in a condition as precari-
Gus as the health of the dowager en-
press, and that when the failing health of
the latter leads to it's inevitable end
the empire will face a crisis that will
make it wise for the United States to
have a presentable naval force within
easy sailing distance.

GALS EAY BE ARRESTED
Removal of Case from State to Federal
Courts Costs Railroad Its Franz
chise and Bitter Fight
Is Expected
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. ga non
official statement was issued tonight of
the conclusions reached at the conference
today between Governor Conner, Attorney
General CARRIER and the assistant counsel
employed by the state administration to
assist in enforcing the laws affecting
railroads, as to the next steps in the case
against the Southern railway.
The governor and attorney general left
for Montgomery late this afternoon and a
lengthy session was held by the special
counsel tonight, at which the legal phases
of the questions were gone over. 1t is
expected that they will make report to
the governor tomorrow.
While the governor would make no
statements, his advisers let 1t be known
that they are determined to enforce the
state laws at any cost. They said that if
ture would be called or troops would be
mands are obeyed. The view is that the
Southern railway by defying the state
law by the removal of case from the
state to the federal court and thereby
having it's charter revoked by the secre-
tary of state has placed itself in a posi-
ton to be dealt with as an outlaw or
mob would be dealt with.
1t is considered more than likely that
wholesale arrests will follow in the next
few days if officials and employees of the
Southern continue to operate the various
lines in spite of the fact that they are
doing so without a charter from the
state.
