MORE JAPANESE THAN EVER.
Presidents Proclamation Does Not
Have Desired Effect.

Washington, Oct. THE proclama-
ton of the president, issued March IA.
1907, has not operated to retard the
immigration of japanese into the
United States. as was expected. On
the contrary, the influx of Japanese has
been greater since the issuance of the
proclamation than before. The annual
report Of Commissioner General Sar-
gent, of the bureau of immigration,
will show that during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1907, 80, 1924 japanese
entered the United States, and of that
total 10,091 came in during March,
April, May and June. This shows that
the influx has been greater since the
proclamation than before.
The presidents proclamation was not
intended to be bar to all japanese,
but only those of the laboring classes
the coolies. Yet it is not reasonable tc
suppose that all the japanese who came
into the United States since March Ia
have been of the educated classes; those
prepared to engage in some profession

FORD JURORS
UNDER SUSPICION
Special Grand Jury VIII Seek Proof
Ct Brlbe.Giylng.
Heney Is Said to Have Known Jury
Was Tempered With and Reserved
Ruef Testimony-Burns Says Hon
est Jury viii Convict Ford-De-
tense Is Anxious.

San Francisco, Oct. 8.-The grand
jury will meet today to investigate the
charges that have been freely made that
improper influences were used upon
certain members of the jury that tried
TREY L. Ford. 1t is limited that SEN
sation will be sprung before the matter
is dropped. Special Agent Burns re-
fused to make any specific charges to-
day, but said:
"Ford will be found guilty by an
honest jury"
Earl Rogers, chief of counsel defend
ing Ford, came back with charge that
the prosecution had made efforts to get
friends on the jury. Mr.. Rogers comes
from the southern part of the state,
where he is known as "the fighting at
torney OF Los Angeles" Mr.. Burns
says he will call the bluff and will give
Mr.. Rogers chance to go before the
grand jury
Francis ]. Heney is out Of the city
on an automobile trip. He will return
in time to conduct the investigation be
fore the grand jury. He is absolutel,
unmoved by the failure Of the Ford jur.
to agree and will place Ford on tria
again next Monday. After the trial o
Ford the prosecution will turn its atten
ton to Patrick Calhoun.
The jurors in the Ford case who stoo'
for acquittal have stated in interview
that the failure of the prosecution t.
call Abe Ruef to the stand influence
them more than anything else in thei
decision. The failure Of the prosecu
ton to call Ruef to the stand has com
pletely mystifed the defense. Ford
attorneys will therefore be as much i
the dark as to the plans Of the prosecr
ton in the next trial as they were /
the last.
The explanation given the widest Gre
dence for the failure Of Mr.. Heney
/ call Ruef to the stand is that the pro-
ecutors had "tip" that the jury ha
been tempered with, and did not desil
to reveal any more evidence at tn
trial than was necessary to prevent

JURY DIsAoREEs.
Ford Trial in San Francisco Must Be
Heard Again.

San Francisco, Oct. THE jury
which tried ex-Attorney General TREY
L. Ford, general counsel for the United
Railroads, on the felony charge OF brib-
ing Supervisor Thomas F. Lonergan in
the sum Of 81 900 to vote for the trolley
franchise in June, 1905, voted eight
for acquittal and four for conviction and
was discharged by Judge Lawlor, after
having been out Is hours.
Judge Lawlor informed counsel that
the regular trial jury box having been
exhausted in the trial Of Ford, he will
organize panel of several hundred
talesmen to serve for all cases coming
before his department of the court.
This has the effect Of doing away
with the likelihood Of special venires.
AS Ford is under heavy bond on the
other indictments returned against him,
he was given his freedom and will not
be required to furnish fresh bonds in
the present case until today. The case
will come up for retrial Monday, Octo-
