Chicago, Oct. Sable Felix Kline.
prominent member of the clerical
element in France, who is making a
study of American social and eco
nomic conditions, has returned from
an extensive tour of the west, Able
Kline said:
Il was much impressed while on the
Pacific coast with the anti-Japanese
feeling existing at Vancouver and
throughout British Columbia, which is
far more intense than the feeling on
the American side of the border. At
San Francisco the anti-Japanese ele-
ment is comparatively small and one
hears little of the active agitation
against the Japanese.
"On the other hand, | visited Van
couver shortly after the anti-Japanese
riots, meeting the Japanese quarters
Everywhere there was evidence of hos
tile intention. The people have taken
up the shibbOleth of Canada for the
Canadians, and they feel that the
exclusion of the yellow race is essen
tial for their self-preservation. They
are very determined in this feeling,
and are pressing their view on the
civil authorities at Ottawa and Lon

More Acute in Canada.

"This branch of the Japanese ques-
ton is really of much Importance to
the United States, as Japan can hardly
expect more from the United States
than she expects of Canada, where
the situation to the Japanese is far
more acute"
Speaking of the people in the west,
Able Kline says that he was struck
by the fact that they look upon the
east as sort of foreign country, much
as the people of the Atlantic states
look upon Europe. They are making
great strides forward, principally the
region about Puget sound, which, in
Hay, loose-Timothy up to $25;
the judgment of this foreign observer,
is to be the field of Americas greatest
future development.

Dissipates Fear of War.

Before coming to America | shared
the views of a considerable element in
France and throughout Europe that
the Japanese question might lead the
United States into war. But personal
observation throughout the middle
west and far west has completely
changed my views. The people of the
west are not thinking of such a thing
and scout the very idea of war. Even
in San Francisco, which is supposed
in Europe to be the center of anti
Japanese hostility, there was much
less Telling than I found to exist in
the British colonies to the north. 1t is
quite evident, also, in witnessing the
splendid development of the Pacific
coast, that a war would be little short
of criminal, alike disastrous to Japan
and the United States, neither of whom
has anything to gain by such a re-
course to barbariSm.

DECLARE he RECEIVED BETS
Witnesses Give Testimony Against
George GOOdacre.
Defense Gains Minor POint-AttOr-
neys for Alleged Handbook Man
Obtain Ruling in Case.

Much progress was made yesterday
I'm the trial OF George J.. GOodacre. IN
Criminal Court No. ]. before Justice Stat
ford. charged with setting up and main
tanning a gaming table in conducting an
alleged handbook. There is a probability
that the case may be given to the jury
tomorrow. The government placed on
the stand several witnesses yesterday.
Henry A. Buck, the first witness called on
Tuesday. was recalled in the morning.
He brought with him to the stand copies
of the Official Racing Calendar of the
Jockey Club, of which he is publisher, and
which Justice Stafford tentatively ruled
out of evidence as inadmissible.
District Attorney Baker renewed his ef-
fort to have them admitted again saying
the object was simply to show that on
certain dates certain horses had run.
Justice Stafford finally excluded the pa
pers so far as Mr.. Bucks testimony was
concerned. on the ground that he was not
an official of the club and, therefore, was
not competent to testify that the calendar
was an official record of the club.
Albert c. Berry, assistant superintend-
ent of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company. was placed on the stand
and testified that three telephones were
maintained at 92S New York avenue.
Goodacre's place.
D. William Oyster and VIII r. Way.
who appeared before the grand jury and
who are mentioned in the indictments re-
turned against Goodacre, gave their tesu-
mony yesterday.
oyster testified that he had made two
bets with GOOdacre. one being placed on
the horse Charles Edward and the other
on Jacobite. He stated that GOOdacre
paid the one on JaCObite but refused pay
ment on the bet made on Charles Ed
ward, on the ground that ii was tele-
phOned in after the race had started
Both of these bets. Oyster said, We're
lade over the telephone.
VIII II. Way testified that he had bet
on race with GOodacre. and had placed
it with him personally.
Victor II. Esch. Joseph A Eckloff.
George 3. Reed. and Albert Costello also
testified that they had telephoned bets 10
OPS New York avenue, and that they were
accepted
Following COstellO's testimony. District
Attorney Baker made another attempt
to place in evidence publication show
ing that on certain dates certain horses
had run on New York tracks this time
offering a New York morning racing pa
per but upon objection by Attorney
Henry Z Davis, and after an argument
from both sides, they were excluded.
It is considered significant that none OF
the attorneys for the defense has cross
examined the witnesses placed on the
stand by the government. they being al
lowed 10 step from the stand after Mr
Baker had finished with them.
The case viii be continued tomorrow.

ASK VOTE ON LIQUOR
Anti-SalOOn LeaguePurpOseS
Local Option Bill.
PLAN AN APPEAL TO CONGRESS
Prohibition Forces Want the Liquor
Question Placed Before Voters of
Sentiment would at Least Abolish
Saloons in Residential Section.

Plans for making Washington a local
option city were devised yesterday. at an
extended conference between A. L. Shoe
maker. attorney for the Anu-Saloon
League, and Z. c. Dinwiddy. president OF
the league.
At this conference a plan was matured
for drafting a law to be introduced in
Congress, TO give the people Of the Dis
trict the right to vote on this subject,
and to express by such vote whether the
saloon shall be banished from the Capt.
tai entirely, or whether it shall be shut
out OF the resident sections and such
parts Of the District as would vote af-
firmatively upon the question of no
saloon.
The Anti-Saloon League and the prOhi-
bitionists OF the city are not satisfied
with the workings OF the high-license
method Of dealing with the sale Of liquor
They say that instead q decreasing the
number Of saloons, as was promised by
its advocates, the number has consider
ably increased, that the saloon has in
Vaded the resident sections Of the city,
and that it, with the inevitable rushing
Of the can,' is slowly fastening the habit
Of drunkenness upon whole families.
Attorney Shoemaker yesterday. in COM
menting upon the matter, said he believed
Congress would enact d law placing with
in the discretion of the people Of the
District the fate of the saloon. With such
a law. Mr.. Shoemaker is Of the opinion
that the days OF selling liquor in the
resident portions of the city would be
short lived He thinks the people would
vote against it with majorities that would
Danish the traffic from the vicinity of
the home, and limit IL at least TO the
business section. But Mr.. Shoemaker
hopes that the people of the District
would go further than that. and place
the Capital in the category of dry
towns if once given the right TO vote
upon the question.
Mr. Shoemaker is understood to be at
work upon the bill TO be presented 10
Congress- and the conference yesterday
had special reference TO the course to be
pursued in introducing the bill in Con-
gress and securing its passage. The
awakening of public sentiment on the
subject is also to be looked after. and
if the plans of the abstinence people be
carried out. there is a likelihood of eX-
citing times for the next few months on
the temperance question in Washington.
