LONDON FOREIGN OFFICE is
NOT SURPRISED AT ATTACK
By Associated Press.

BY Associated fress.
LONDON, Sept. 9.-The news of the at
tacks on the Japanese and Chinese in
Vancouver did not surprise the colonial
and foreign officials here, who had long
expected an outbreak against Asiatics in
Canada, but they have the greatest conf
dence that Canada will be able to sup
press any further outbreaks. At the same
time the officials realize that most
as the feeling appears to be strong
against the subjects of Great Britain $
eastern ally, and that it will require most
careful handling, for whatever action is
taken is likely to be resented by the col
ony or by Japan.
The question has been the subject of
consideration for some time by the i'm
perial authorities, which have used their
good offices on numerous occasions to
prevent the enactment of anti-Japanese
legislation by British Columbia.
1t is understood that the matter was
discussed at length during the recent
visit of the colonial premiers to London
Australia being as much opposed to the
admission of Asiatics as the Canadians.
No steps were taken at the time, how
ever, and the subject was allowed to lie
until the agitations were revived.
All the cabinet ministers are out OF
town at present, but the colonial and
foreign offices are seeking to obtain all
the information possible on the subject
of the Vancouver outbreak, with a view
of taking action, the nature of which is
difficult to surnise

PLANS FOR THE CITY OF
C0RC0RAN ARE MODERN
STREETS WIDE AND BUILDINGS
GROUPED
Assurance of Capital Leads Many SUBJ
stantIaI Buyers to Purchase
Lots in New Sugar
Town

News from Corcoran, the new sugar
city on the Santa Fe in the San Juoa-
ouin valley, indicates that the town site
sale held there by the Security Land and
Loan company has been markedly sue
cessful.
Most of the property offered went to
buyers at good prices, and such plats as
were reserved for sale in Los Angeles Will
probably meet with as ready acceptance
by men who have studied the possibilities
of that section and want to get on the
profit band wagon.
Los Angeles has just awakened to the
possibilities of that rich section of Cali
fornia, where prices are still low and
profits immediate. San Francisco former
ly controlled the trade of the valley.
President Whitley of the Security COM
pany has. for several years been at work
on the development plan in Kings and
Tulare counties, while General Manager
Nathan Cole, ir., of the Pacific Sugar
corporation has been equally active in
developing interest in the culture of
sugar beets among horticulturists and
ranchers.
Messrs Whitley and Cole have each
gathered some of the richest men of Los
Angeles into their companies, hence there
of the promoting interests.
1t Is a proposition backed by million
aires, who would not permit any lethargy
in development, even If there were dis
position of any one to let go of the big
scheme.
Twenty-five-MiIe Stretch
Twenty-Five miles of the richest lands
along the Santa Fe are included in the
development plan, with the towns of
waukena and Argiola at each end, and
Corcoran in the center. Off Corcoran is
the thriving city of Visalia, where the
Cole Harper interests built their first
sugar factory. Eventually three sugar
factories will be built.
This Visalia plant, by the way, was the
first to make sugar on the Pacific coast
this season, being weeks ahead of the
eight other sugar factories in California
Corcoran is being laid out on the mod
ern wide street system, with electric
lights, buildings designed by architects
who look years ahead, and include city
park and lake, a massive railroad station
Industrial district and home district,
neither encroaching on the other.
There is a harmonious grouping In
vogue, such as the large cities of the
country are now trying to introduce at
great expense This might have been
avoided if the original plotters of the
cities had planned for the coming genera
tions as the Corcoran interests have
done,

IsHu HERE TO STUDY THE
ENTIRE JAPANESE QUESTION
~ Aaanciated Preaa.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept 9.-Aikujiro Ishii,
the director Of the commercial bureau OF
the Japanese foreign office, who was in
volved in the anti-Japanese riots at van
couver last Saturday night, came to this
country to Investigate and report on the
the recent anti-Japanese demonstrations
in San Francisco.
While this was given out as the spe-
cifc object of his visit 1t is generally un-
derstood that his mission was to make a
thorough study of the whole Japanese
question in this country and to ascertain
the cause and extent of whatever preJu-
dices may exist against the Japanese.
He spent some time in San Francisco
and after travelling through the country
went to British Columbia, where the con-
ditions arising from the recent inflow
of Japanese and Hindus into the north
west has caused serious disturbance of
labor conditions

TOXIC. Sept. 1O.-The most meager ac-
count of the anti-Japanese trouble in
Vancouver, B. c., is published in a spe-

This is the only one of English or vernac-
nlar papers which mentions the affair.
While awaiting further details the Asahi
refrains from editorial comment. The
published dispatch is from NJ Ishii is
brief, and expresses the opinion that the
trouble is over. The Japanese press and
officials generally show no disturbance
over the immigration question, and It is
conceded in official circles here that the
matter will be ultimately settled satisfac-
torily.
Sporadic outbreaks are expected. The

Canada to Pay
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 9-The general
opinion in official circles is that Canada
will have to pay damages and apologize
to Japan for damages caused in the Van
couver riots to property of the japanese
in that city. Regret is expressed that the
outbreak should have taken place at
time when the Japanese immigration ques-
ton was all but settled between the two
governments.
Hon. r. w. Scott. secretary of state, In
an interview, said that the treaty between
Canada and Japan ratified by the Cana
dian parliament at its last session was
nerfectly clear as to the rights of the
Japanese in Canada. The treaty says
s'The subjects Of each of the two high
contracting parties shall have full liberty

ENDS NOTABLE SERVICE

Judge Wickersham's voluntary re tirement from the federal bench in Alaska will be regretted by a large majority of the people of the territory and hailed with delight by a small mi- nority, some of whom opposed him honestly, through personal or political prerudtce. and others because of per soual spleen or self interest.
 The resignation of Judge Wicker sham ends as a drawn battle long fgh, which was certain to continue indefinitely. Nine-ten,hS of the United States senators were prepared to vote for his confirmation at any time a vote could be taken. but Nelson of Mime sora and the two North Dakota Sena tors had announced the policy of pre- venting a vote if they had to block the wheels of legislation to accomplish their purpose. The fetish of senato- rial courtesy would have enabled them to do i,. Therefore, although Judge Wirkersham had the confidence and support of the president, the attorney general and every honest man in the United States senate and of vast majority of the people of his jurisdic- tion.his confirmation was impossible.
 Accordingly Judge Wickersham re- tires and goes into the private practice which will be far more profitable and agreeable to himself than his place on the bench, and the people of Alas ka lose the ab,esJ judge who ever sat in it's courts. He would have resigned bet0re but for the fight upon him. Not one of the charges against him has been made to stick and he is vlndi- carcd before the people and the senate even ..ugh the senatorial tools of the most u.,r.putah.e gang of biacklegs who ever invaded Alaska were able to defeat his confirmation.

COURT RULE GOVERNING
 NEW LIQUOR LICENSES

The new court rule governing sa- looms, which forbids the sale of liquor in new places until license is granted, made by Judge Wickersham at Valdez last month, reads as follows:
 Sec. l. No person. company or cor poration making first application for retail or bar room liquor license within the Pacific coast district shall be permitted to sell liquor between the time of making the application and the date of granting the license; Pro- vided that this rule shall not apply when the application is for a renewal of a former license under section 476 of the criminal code.
 Sec. ?. It shall be the duty of the deputy clerk at Valdez to notify all first applicants for retail or bar room liquor license as soon as the appIic- cation is filed of this rule by sending such applicant a copy thereof; it shall be the duty of the district attorney and the marshal and all their deputies to see that these rules are enforced, to prosecute all violations of the law in this respect; and to notify the court of all infractions thereof; and where such applicant wilfully violates the law and sells liquor In advance of the issuance of his license, the court may thereupon refuse to grant him a license.

coALINo STATION COMING

Seward will have the government coaling station on the Alaska coast, which means ultimately navy yard. This is not official, because represen- tatives of the government entrusted with such a duty as the location of a coaling station do not make their re- ports through the newspapers. Never theless Capt. Pond of the cruiser Buffalo is proceeding with the work in q way that indicates that the matter is settled.
 If any doubt of the final selection of Resurrection bay remains after Capt. Ponds report is made to the secretary of the navy that doubt will disappear after a survey of other possible loca- tions. No other harbor on the Alaska coast is in the same class with Resur- rection bay. No other harbor offers the united advantages of absolute pro- tection from the open sea, deep water close to shore, freedom from ice every day in the year.
 The only requirement of coaling station that Seward now lacks is coal. But Alaska has adjacent to the south crn coast vast quantities of coal of the grade required for naval uses. No better steaming coal is planted any where than that cf the MatanuSka and Kayak fields. Whichever coal the government may finally select, or be compelled 10 take because of inability to get the other, the coaling station will be at Seward Katalla has the coal. but harbor available for coal ing station and navy yard can not be made there in 1000 years with all the money all its coal and oil will ever bring. Cordova and Valdez have fair harbors but neither of them compara- ble to that of Seward,
 If the syndicate which purports to be constructing a railroad from Sew ard to the Matanuska fails to complete the line to the coal fields during the present generation the coaling station will not be lost to Seward. The race is on to bring either the Matanuska or the Kayak coal to tide water first. The government will take coal from the field that wins the race.
