PRESS MAKES LIKE DEMAND
Believes Demonstration by Exclusion
League May Lead to melting an
irresponsible Element and Result In
Serious Race Riots.

Seattle, Wash, Sept 16.-Japanese
Consul Shimadzu has appealed to
Chief of Police Wappenstern to pre-
vent the Exclusion league from hold
Ing any kind of demonstration that
might lead to melting an irresponsible
element and causing race riots in Sc
attic. A similar demand upon the po-
lice chief has been made by some OF
the newspapers and Chief Wappen-
stern assured the Japanese consul
that whatever happened he would
guarantee that the Asiatic quarters are
not invaded by mob The Japanese
consul declared that his countrymen
are not arming themselves to resist
an attack and he insisted the Japa-
nese would do nothing to incite trou-
BILE and relied wholly on the police
for their protection. Efforts of the
Exclusion league to compel the chief
of police to disarm the Japanese and
Chinese will not have any effect upon
the officials. They win pay no more
attention to storage of arms in for
eigners' homes than they will In Amer
ican homes, but they will arrest any

dirigible balloon was virtually placed
at the disposal of the public during
the day at Tegel, near here, by the
company which constructed 1t in order

building of airships. About dozen
ascents were made successfully dur
ing the day. Each time the airship
carried one passenger in addition to
the aeronaut in charge and the engi-
neers. Minister of War Won Einem

ministers enjoyed VOYAGES in the air,
during which every r,ossible maneuver
was carried out with precision. There
was almost 40 win. blowing.

Captain Won Kehler, in conversing on
the subject Of the ship, said that more
powerful motors We're necessary, the
maximum power of the present en-
gines being not sufficient to drive the
airship against a fairly strong wind.

TO CURTAIL PRODUCTION
Butte Copper Mines viii Lay OF Five
Thousand Men,

Butte. Mont, Sept 16.-As the re-
suit OF oyerproduction OF copper and
temporary lull In the demand for
the red metal orders have been issued
by which the output of the Amalga-
mated properties will be reduced to
about 40 per cent of the normal pro-
duction, or from 20,000,000 pounds to
about 100000 pounds per month,
and In the future no work will be
done on Sundays Curtailing the pro-
duction to 40 per cent of the normal
will mean a reduction In the working
forces that will throw about 5000 men
out of employment. When the mines
will resume with full forces is prob.
lematical.
The Diamond mine will be closed
and work at the Belmont will be COM
pletely suspended. The Gagnon and
Parrot mines also are shut down. John
Gillie, general superintendent of the
Amalgamated properties, acting under
Managing Director John G. Ryan,
stated that there would be no general
shutdown at the present time.
For some time" said Mr.. Gillie,
"a gradual curtailment of the copper
production has been going on. We
shall cease all construction work The
shutdown of the mines will avert a
fuel famine this winter. Reducing
the output of the Amalgamated prop
critics will have farreaching effect
With less tonnage to Great Falls and
Anaconda it Will be necessary to shut
down portions of the smelters In those
cities, thus throwing out of employ,
ment a couple OF thousand men,"
