SECURED $500 FROM
STORE At KIMBERLEY
GIROUX COMPANY'S STORE WAS
: RANSACKED EARLY IESTER-
DAY MORNING.

Burglars made a raid on the cash
in the GirouX Consolidated company's S
store at Kimberley early yesterday
morning, and secured about $500,
some checks and diamond stud.
The robbers entered the place at
the rear of the store where Manager
Chases office is located. They cut
away the putty and removed couple
of window panes, thereby easily eff
fecting an entrance. Once inside they
lighted candle and commenced op-
erations, ransacking every drawer in
the desk Papers were strewn around
the office in all directions. They
found about $500, some small checks
and Mr.. Chases diamond stud. which
he had left in his desk
The GirouX Consolidated pays its
men on the 10th of each month and
usually has about $4,000 in the store
after the first week of the month
The robbers evidently planned on
getting this coin, but upon this occa-
sion Manager Chase did not have so
much money on hand.
The crime was committed after
1870 O'Clock as Mr. Chase was work
ing in his Office up to that hour.
The affair was reported to Sheriff
House and he is investigating the
matter.

SITUATION IN VANCOUVER
INCREASING IN MENACE

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 10.-A
special dispatch to the Times from
Vancouver, B. c., says:
AS a result of disorders Saturday
and Sunday evenings, the situation
here with regard to the Asiatics is
increasing in menace. The Japanese
have notified Chief of Police Cham
berlain that police protection is in
adequate and they will take steps to
protect themselves.
Chinese and Japanese employed in
hotels and restaurants have with
drawn from work. 1t is said that
their leaders have instructed them
that they must not work under pen
atty of 500 fine. The Jauanese are
purchasing firearms and the aspect is
threatening. The steamer Monteagle
due to arrive Wednesday or Thursday
with many OrientalS on board, will
be met by a hostile demonstration.
1t is freely declared that the Orien-
tails will not be allowed to land. The
feeling is increasing that in view of
the number of Japanese, Chinese and
Hindus in Vancouver, the minister of
militia should take steps to protect
the several restaurant keepers who
met this morning and resolved to en-
ploy nothing but white labor.
Early reports of disorders Satur-
day night were exaggerated. The
crowd amounted to about ten thou
sand but the temper manifested was
merely boisterous. The crowd surged
through the streets in Oriental quar-
ters cheering everything white and
denouncing everything colored. AT
intervals from an indistinguishable
point in the crowd brickbats would
hurtle over intervening heads and
cras h through windows. Chief of Po-
lice Chamberlain recognized the in
ade uacy of the force at his disposal
and relied on diplomacy. Fearful OF
arou.;ing the passions of the mob he
directed his men to lay aside trunch-
cons and exercise moderation. Lat
er the order regarding truncheons
was revoked but at no stage did the
police and populace come to blows.

DELAY IN CONvEN|NG
THE GRAND JURY

SALT LAKE, Sept. 10.-The grand
jury, called by the district court es-
pccially to investigate the local food
trust, may not meet until about OctO-
Der 1st Two circumstances have
combined to cause this probable de-
lay.
In the first place the business of
the criminal division of the district
court will be heavy. in fact, that ii
will require much of the time of Dis
trict Attorney Loofbourow, who will
be the chief legal adviser of the grand
Jury. After October |, ii is probable
that he can arrange to have County
Attorney Willard Hanson try some
of his cases, and thus give him time
to devote to the grand jury.
In the second place it is not be-
lieved that seven of the fifteen men
whose names were drawn Saturday
for grand jury duty can qualify, and
this will make a second drawing nee
essary. 1t will be necessary of course
to first ascertain whether or not the
fifteen can qualify, and second
drawing, after this is ascertained, is
bound to cause delay.
Judge Armstrong has not yet fixed
a time for the meeting of the grand
jury, and the venire has not been
turned over to Sheriff Emery for SER
vice. Meanwhile Mr.. Loofbourow is
gathering what evidence he can tC
present to the grand jury of the lille
gaity of the food trusts operations

PLANNING TO HOLD
MOROCCO RESPONSIBLE

PARIS, Sept. 10.-A special meet
ing of the cabinet was held today for
the purpose of considering the Moroc-
can situation. The following conclu-
sions were reached:
THE Moroccan government should
be held responsible for the massacre
of July 80, at Casa Blanca, as well
as for the damages suffered as re-
suit of the pillage or repression of the
disorders.
THE indemnities should be fixed
by an international committee"
These conclusions are based on the
precedent established after the bonn
bardment of Alexandria by the Brit
ish fleet in 1882.
The cabinet requested Foreign
Minister Pichon to examine the gen.
eral question of Morocco and to pre-
pare a note on the subject, to be is
sued as soon as possible.
Premier Clemenceau has no mes
sages from General Drude or from
Admiral Philbert, commander of the
French forces at Casa Blanca, regard
ing the result of the armstice.

GREAT BRITAIN HAS
DELICATE TASK
ATTACK UPON ASIATICS IN CAN
ADA CAUSING CONSIDERABLE
ANXIETY.

LONDON, Sept. 10.-The news of
the attacks on the Japanese and Chi
nese at 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 confidence that
Canada will be able to suppress any
further outbreaks. At the same time,
the officials realize that most seri
Gus problem has arisen, particularly
as the feeling appears to be strong
against the subjects of Great Brit
aims eastern ally, and that it will re-
quire most careful handling, for
whatever action is taken is likely to
he resented, either by the colony or
Japan.
The question has been the subject
of considerable discussion for some
time by the imperial authorities, who
have used their good Offices on nu-
merous occasions to prevent the en-
actment 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, Aus
tralia being as much opposed to the
admission of Asiatics as are the Can
adams. No steps were taken at the
time, however, 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 OBJ
tain all the information possible on
the subject of the Vancouver out
break, with the view of taking some
action, the nature of which il is diff
ficult to surmise.

STAGE IN NEAR FUTURE

MONTREAL, Sept. 9.-The follow
ing telegram has been received by
Consul General Nesse, at Ottawa,
from Mr. Ishii director of commerce
and trade, department of foreign af-
fairs of Japan, who is at present in
British Columbia, studying the anti
Japanese movement in that province:

to the section of the city where the
stores kept by the Japanese and
Chinese are and threw stones, break
ing considerable glass.
Following this attack, there came
another one, this time the number
being increased to about five hundred
and the fronts of several of the stores
were broken. So far as / can ascer-
tain only one Japanese was wounded.
The police force did their best but
there is hardly any hope of relief in
that direction. Consul Morikiwaka is
staying at the seat of disturbance try
ing to impress upon the city police
to extend their protection over Jap
anese residents and at the same time
to suppress the utmost excitement
of the Japanese. There may be no
further disturbances.
Mr.. Ishii's hope was unfortunately
not fulfilled, as late last night the
consul wired the following telegram

II was utterly helpless he said.
Il could not even hold up my left
hand after | broke it. | had no guard
for Ganss left and no punch except
with my right.
The fight, while it lasted, was n
slugging match, but it was perfectly
evident to every trained observer that
Britt had no chance to win from the
negro. For the first time in his life
he was out-matched.
Britt's lack of GOODNESS was partly
responsible for the miserable ending
of the fight. From the first tap of
the gong, he appeared over-easer. He
was not content to take the advice
showered on him by his seconds to
make Cans do the leading, but he
rushed headlong into quarters that
developed an inevitable slugging
match, in which the champion had
by far the advantage. In the first
round, Britt staggered Cans to the
ropes with left swing on the neck
that had lots of force in it. In the
same round he also used left and
right successfully to the body and
face, but took in punishment n
straight left on the nose, that slowed
him down.

Cans Draws First Blood.

The second round developed a mix
up at the ropes in which both men
exchanged rights and lefts, Cans tax
ing the advantage. in the third round
Cans followed his tactics of crowdins
Britt into corner, and the Californ-
ian had his hands and feet busy work
ing his way out The round was
even. Cans drew first blood in the
fourth. with a lightning-like straight
left that brought scarlet stream
trickling from the corner of Britts
mouth. 1t was right after this that
Britt threw all of his strength into q
left swing that proved his mercilul
undoing. The decision of the doctors
effectively disposes of any claim OF
fake"
In a statement before the fight
Britt said
II realize that | am to face the
hardest proposition of my career, in
the contest today, but | don't believe
that Joe Cans can show me anything
new in the fighting game. My fight
with Nelson showed that | am able
to deliver punch, and | feel that
can be just as effective in the contest
with Cans. I am making no predic-
ton as to when the fight will termi-
nate, because | will be in the ring to
win at the best opportunity, going the
limit if necessary
When asked what he proposed to
do. Joe Cans expressed himself as
follows:
THE public will get a run for its
money. ] am out to win and have
told my friends to bet on me. | am
forced to win this fight to prove the
statements | made following that 9th

swing to the body, cleverly blocked
by Joe Cans, cost Jimmy Britt any
chance he might have had to win the
lightweight championship of the
world today. and brought to a close
five rounds of fast fighting, witnessed
by crowd of about $4,000 persons at
Recreation park The blow caught
by Cans on his elbow was struck in
the middle of the fourth round. 1t
broke Britt's wrist and though he
went on again in the fifth round. he
was helpless in both offense and de-
fense. 1t was not until this round
that he informed his second of the
mishap.
whats the use of my going on?
can't fight ! am helpless" he said
to Tiv Kreling. Captain of Police
Gleason was notified at the ringside
and stopped the fight. Referee Welsh
gave the decision to Cans,
Three doctors, after an examination
stated that the injury was fracture
and dislocation of the lower end of
the una, the innermost bone of the
wrist. Whether it was a genuine
fracture or not, Britt showed such in
tense suffering while the doctors were
manipulating his wrist that the tears
rolled unchecked down his cheeks.

Nelson Predicts Winner.
