JAPANESE REFUSE TO
SUBMIT TO ARREST
BROWN RAILROAD LABORERs AT
PORTERVILLE CAUSE A RIOT
ATTACK ON A WHITE MAN.

PORTERVILLE, January "A crowd
Of Japanese labOrers working upon the
tracks Of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, near this city assaulted Roy v.
Clark today, striking him over the head
with a shovel and attacking him with
sticks and clubs. Clark escaped by
running and came to this city to no
tify the local officers and swear out
warrants for the arrest Of the japanese
forty I'm number.
An attempt to arrest the japanese
was met with resistance. A message
was sent asking for assistance and a
large number Of special officers was
rushed to the scene After consider
able difficulty fifteen Japanese were
arrested, taken to Visalia and placed
in the County jail. 1t was not consid-
cred safe to keep them in the Porter
Vile jail on account Of local feeling
During the fracas the japanese are
reported 10 have raised the japanese
flag. Great excitement prevailed in
this city for a time. Because of the
bad feeling existing further trouble is
feared. There is a large number Of
Japanese working on the railroad in
this vicinity.
Clark who was attacked by the Jap
anese, is not seriously hurt. He was
somewhat bruised and received a bad
cut on his hand. The trouble had its
origin in the strong feeling growing
out of the San Francisco school trouble
and the anti-Japanese sentiment in the
community.

horse drivers who were able to tell
almost to the fraction of a second
the speed at which they were driving.
So it is with some of the jockeys.
Constant devotion to their work has
enabled them to gather relative ideas
of time and motion, and it is a great
aid to a jockey to be able so to rate
his horse as to have some reserve

Narrow Escape.

Dresbach-Elmer Remp and VIII
liam O'Neil, two lads employed here
to deliver city papers, saved three peo-
pie from almost certain death when
two passenger trains going in opposite
directions were passing the Dresbach
station at the same time.
The northbound train had stopped
at the station, had unloaded and
loaded passengers and express, and
was pulling out, when southbound
passenger train came bounding in on
an adjoining track. Mrs. Ida May
nard, Peter Wacter and M. R. Gilbert,
who had alighted from the first train,
were making their way across the
track toward the station and depot
and did not notice the engine bearing
down upon them.
The two boys, who had their arms
filed with bundles Of papers, saw the
danger simultaneously, and dropping
their papers rushed to the needless
passengers and pushed them from the
tracks just in time to save them from
being hit by the locomotive. Neither
of the nimble young fellows were in
iured.

posts Irs heavier. They usually find
little trouble in obtaining employment.
A number of them are abroad this
year. There is Danny" Maher, for
instance, in England. He is one of the
best American jockeys who ever left
his native land to ride for foreign
stables. He has been phenomenally
successful in England-so much SO
that the richest owners are eager to
obtain him. He is riding his second
season for Lord Derby. Maher is the
only jockey now riding who has won
three English derbies. OF itself that is
a feat of sufficient Importance to estab-
lish his reputation in the turf world.
1t is estimated that he will earn $780,
900 in the saddle this year. He COM
mands a high price, and owners are
as willing to pay it to him as they are
to Miller, for they know that they are
securing a competent boy and one
upon whom every reliance may be
placed.
Other Successful Jockeys.
Lucien Lyme, a jockey much ad-
mired in New York when he was in
the heydey of his success, is riding in
England. Possibly his earnings will
amount to $4,000. The English turf
men are willing to pay handsomely a
smart American boy.
Fred" Taral, whom everybody
knows in America who knows about
race horses, has been riding in Austria
with remarkable success for the last
three or four years, and is over there
again.
"Skeets" Martin rides in Hungary
with a probable income of $4,000 for
the year, and Tommy Burns has
been engaged by German stable and
is likely to receive not less than $751;
900 for the seasons work.
France has a fine lot of American
jockeys, and all of them fairly sue
cessful Spencer is one, Turner an
other, and then there are Rausch,
O'Connor, Johnny" Reiff, Cormack,
Henry, Shields, Mcintyre and Wiley.
Prizes of Success.
The successful jockey who likes to
see his reflection in mirrors, who rev.
els in the girls and is fascinated by
the glare of the myriad lamps that
burn after dark, will not lack of hos
pitality. There will be hundred
hosts to entertain Rim every night if
he but says the word.
The bell of well-known trainers

mas advised with her as to the placing
of some of his earnings, and she is as
happy as the boy that he has shown
good judgment and business intelli-
gence in suggesting where certain
sums could be invested to good advan-
tage. There is little reason to doubt
that his ambition to acquire a for
tune by his efforts in the saddle will
be realized and realized handsomely.
Scores of boys try every year to be-
come successful jockeys. Most OF
them fail. Why is it, then, that Miller
is a success? Is it because of his seat
in the saddle, his short stirrups, or
some other typical accessory to the
equipment of his mount? This ques-
ton has been asked time and again.
"Tom" WEIGH places little credit in
any of these details.
Advantage in Method.
Miller says he perches himself well
up on horses neck and rides with
short stirrups because he has great
er leverage on the horses head and
can guide him more perfectly.
Il can feel the temper of the horse
rein on him over his neck" said the
jockey. 'If I were to ride in the old
fashioned English seat the horses
head would get away from me, and
the chances are that 1 would miss
some good opportunities in the race
to gain distance
1t was Tod Sloan who originated
the idea of riding forward. Possibly
Miller carries it more to an extreme
than some jockeys, but he is light,
strong and has perfect confidence in
himself.
For two years there has been
great rivalry between Miller and
Radtke. The latter has been less sue
cessful, but is nevertheless considered
to be one of the best boys who ride
professionally in the United States.
Radtke is of different temperament
than Miller. He is somewhat fiery
little chap and rather self-willed. His
sharp replies earned him punishment
in 1906, but this year he has exer-
cised better control over himself and
fewer words of caution have had to be
administered to him. He is consid-
cred to be very clever in making
strong finish. Like Miller, he is
possessed of much physical power in
his arms, and when horse is firing
in the last strides of a hard-fought
race, Radtke fairly lifts him along, as
he holds up his head and gives him
encouragement to make the three
or four final leaps that may win a
stake worth thousands of dollars.
Good Judges of Pace.
Koerner and E. Dugan are two
clever lightweights who are skilful in
judging pace and placing their horses
to good advantage in field of many
starters. Both are able to rate the
speed at which they are moving by

Interesting Items Gathered In the

County Exhibits.

Hamline-Fourteen county exhibits
are to be made at the coming Mime

felt among the various counties OF the
