VANCOUVER, B. c. Jan. 9.-Many
Japanese are being arrested here for

victions can be secured for violating
the law
The police, Influenced by the bitter
anti-Oriental feeling, who are not in
variably discreet in making such ar
rests. have taken several japanese in
custody against whom they had no
cases, and in this manner are intfnsi-
flying the excitement among the island
ers as among the white men.
OF the three hremen stabbed in
Wednesdays riots, two are doing we'll
The third, whose injuries were at first
considered fatal. is now believed 10 be

Leading japanese admit that their
countrymen are sometimes unneces-
sarily excitable, but argue that they
have been badgered and prosecuted I'M
Ill there is much excuse Tor them,
The japanese section Is practically a
camp against white men. Its pOpulG-
ton is about 2.OJ0. and for Il Canadian

Seaboard Receivership,
Roads Attorneys Believe,
Will Sway Supreme Court

The passing Of the Seaboard Air Line
Railroad into the hands OF receivers
cannot fail to have its effect. so the
railroads lawyers believe. upon the
judgment OF the members Of the Su-
preme Court OF the United States, who
are even now considering the alleged
conhscatory nature of recent railroad
legislation IN various States.
The Minnesota case arose over the
attempt to free the States attorney
general, Edward 7. Young, by habeas
corpus proceedings. from his sentence
for contempt Of the Federal court, in
that he did not obey a temporary in
junction which sought 10 restrain him
from enforcing the new freight rates,
fixed by a statute.
The North Carolina case under con-
sideratlOn presents a different aspect
in that an agent of the Southern rall-
WY was arrested for violating tine
statute which liked the maximum pas
seuger rate, said 10 be COnhscatOry.
In Nebraska the State officials did
not wait for the railroad officials TO get

ONE STRAY CANINE
STARTS YOUNG TEMPEST

IN a letter TO Health officer Wood
ward. Z. s. Wesc0tt. Of $3.50 Newark
street, Cleveland Park, entered a com
plaint concerning the management Of
the dog pound. Mr.. Wescott says that
last fall there was a stray dog in the
Park and that every effort was made
by the residents 20 have the animal
reno we'd 10 the pound. but without
success. The dog was finally killed By
a policeman.
The writer also says he was recently
notified TO quarantine a dog belonging
Ia him on account OF information fur
uisEed the Health Department that the
animal was bitten by a stray dog which
was killed by the policeman and upon
examinaJ ion was found 20 be suffering
from rabies Mr. Wescott says he IS
convinced that a mistake has occurred
a he examined his dog carefully and
can not find a scratch upon him.
Samuel Einsteln, pound master, says

NIT and that he has no recollection Of

Planned to Seize Train,
But Took Office Fixtures

Property IN the Washington Office Of
the SeabOaTd Air Line was seized by
Deputy Marshal Cusict by order OF the
Supreme Court Of the District. Attor-
neys Biruey and Woodward, represent
ing Hoover & Denham, prOprietoTs OF
a produce stand IN the Center Market,
fled suit against the company, now IN
tie hands of receivers, 10 recover
S4,54017. The amount is said 10 be due
for goods sold tna Seaboard Air Line.
Something like a sensation was
planned BY the attorneys last night,
but a truce was effected before &
O'Clock. and the spectacular sight OF
a train being levied on by a deputy
marshal was not seen. Attorneys rep
TesentinE the plaintiffs, satisfied that
the Office fixtures would not cover the
Indebtedness, planned to seize the roll
ing stock of the company, and arranged
to levy on the g o'clock sOUth-bOund
train and mold the engine and cars 10

The local officers Of the company
gave assurances that the debt would
be paid and the train was permitted to
proceed south.

strenuous financial career in recent
years. The fight between John Skel-

formerly controlled the roads. and
Thomas T Ryan. who finally wrenched
It from the williams group. is his
tory and familiar 10 people concerned
with finance
The Williams people have never been
recOnciled 10 the Ryan group, and there
IS much sentiment IN the South that
the road has been manipulated in a
fashion that would be highly interesting
If the facts brought out by an investi-
cation such as the Interstate Commerce
Commission made into the Hartman
system. Unllss some other means IS
found Of starting such an Inquiry, il is
reported q resolution viii be introduced
soon after Congress reconVenes, direct
ing the commission to make IL.
One feature to which attention has
been directed is the very highest capital

road under the present organization and
toward which much criticism has been
directed. This is said TO be about $50.
