Commercial Bodies Asked to Aid in
Eliminating Disoord.
FRIENDSHIP BASIS OF TRADE
Aim is to Continue Era of Good Feel
ing So Long Existing.
MESSAGE TO THE PRESIDENT
IL Says that Continuation of Abuses
in San Francisco VIII Retard
Development of Conn
merce.

TOXIC, June 2s-At a joint meeting Of
seven chambers of commerce here 1t was
resolved to address the principal chambers
OF commerce in America as follows:
1t has always been a matter of profound
satisfaction to the people Of Japan to wit
tions between our two countries and of our
community interests in the fields of trade
and commerce. But since last year the
people in section Of your country have
unfortunately acted in a manner calculated
to prejudice the legitimate rights of Japa-
nese people who have been frequently sub
jected to unjust and humiliating treatment
at the hands OF a lawless element prevail
ing there. The right Of education has been
denied them. their houses have repeatedly
without the least cause or provocation
with the result that not only have the
treaty rights of the japanese been wan
property also have been exposed to serious
dangers.
nate Incidents should be allowed to occur
so frequently, as Il is feared that unless
they are speedily stopped the ill'feeling
which our countrymen are now constrained
to harbor against the people of a single
section In America may eventually have l
unhappy effect upon the development VI the
commercial relations between the two ma
TONS for while the United States Is a good
customer for our natural products, Japan
is also increasing its demand for American
goods and promises to become one OF the
most important markets for your ever
expanding and prospects industries. Should
the progress Of trade and commerce be-
tween the two nations become obstructed
as the result of the unwarrantable action
of a small section OF your population the
loss sustained by the two countries would
be incalculable.
We therefore venture to address you and
express our views upon the situation, COM
fldent In the hope that they will be shared
by you and that you will, considering the
matter upon the right principles Of ma
tional intercourse and the mutual advan-
tages of trade relations, do your best to
speedily eliminate the present causes of
dlscord and insure our common prosperity
for the future.
The chambers OF commerce have also ad-
dressed President Roosevelt. telling him OF

score of to 3. The game started
out nip and tuck. The girls failed
to find Arnold and it was goose eggs
on both sides until the fifth inning
when the locals took a batting streak
and ran in 6 scores. Pitchers were
changed by the girls, but with little
better results. The locals continued
to bat the sphere all over the field,
but the girls showed excellent work
in the field and prevented any more

rors on both sides marked the game,
but taking it all in all, the game was
fast and well played throughout.
The grand stand was packed, several
hundred women being in attendance.
Cheering was deafening at times, be-
ing about equally divided, and it
brought back recollections of league
ball.

Eighth of August.

Railroad officials look for the big
best Eighth of August patronage in
the history Of the road this year, and
are making every preparation to
handle the large crowds. Last year
false reports were started which rap
idly spread and caused many who
would have come to Paducah to cele-
brate the day, to remain away. This
year the railroad and local colored
committees have precluded all posi-
bility of an interference in this way
by circulars and the assurance that
every protection be given excursion
lists on trains and in the city while
here.
Nine special trains composed OF
90 coaches will be run into Paducah
and already preparations are being
made to handle them. An augmented
force of special agents will be en-
ployed by the Illinois Central and
every available coach is being press
ed into service. Excursions will be
run into Paducah over the Illinois
Central from Louisville, Central City,
Greensboro, Evansville; Covington
Fulton, Cairo and Memphis.
