PRESIDENT WANTS JAPAN
GIVEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY
Will Exhaust Every Diplomatic Means
to Secure Exclusion of Japanese
Before ResortIng to
Legislation

SAN JOSE, June 21.--At q meeting
of the Japanese Korean Exclusion
league held on Friday evening Con-
gressman e. A. Hayes quoted no let
ter from President Roosevelt. News
paper accounts have evidently mac
curately reported a statement in which
Mr.. Hayes said:
Three or four days before the last
session OF congress closed l saw the
president and said to him that my peo-
pie had been expecting exclusion leg1s-
lation, which had been prevented for
the time being by the efforts to make
diplomacy effective In the matter, and
asked him what should say to them
upon my return to California. He said
that I should tell them that the presi-
dent has been doing the best he could
in the matter and thinks that he now
has It in good shape. Il want said
the president, to give Japan every op-
portunity to carry out it's pledges. II
cannot succeed through diplomacy
in protecting the people Of the Pacific
coast, will unite with them in help
ing to secure the enactment of an ex-
clusion law"
Mr.. Hayes told of having received
from Secretary Taft letter with ref
erence to the Asiatic question that
was written just before Mr.. Taft sailed
upon his recent visit to Japan. The
contents, being confidential could not
be divulged, but Mr.. Hayes was privi-
legged to say that Mr.. Taft's views
upon the subject coincide with those Of
the president.

SIX PERSONS INJURED
IN HEAD-ON COLLISION
Heavily Loaded Electric Cars Run
Together Through Violation Of
orders--Motorman Says
Airbrakes Failed

PORTLAND. Ore. June 21.-Six peo-
pie were painfully, though not danger
ously injured today in q head-on COLI
sion between two heavily loaded elec-
tric cars on the Mount Scott division
of the Portland Railway. Light and
Power company.
The accident occurred at Archer
three miles east of the city. and Is re-
markable in that so few of the more
than 200 persons on board the two cars
and their trailers were injured, and for
the fact that the accident happened on
a perfectly straight stretch of track In
broad daylight. The company alleges
the accident was occasioned by viola
ton of orders.
The rnotorman on the outbound cal
explains that his airbrakes failed tc
work and that he did not discover this
fact until too late to reverse his power
The inbound car was moving slowly
backwards when the collision came
having previously been standing at one
end of switch in obedience to block
signal, but having afterward been re-
versed in an effort to avoid the col
lision.

BY AUTOMOBILE
AGED WOMAN KNOCKED DOWN
AND DRAGGED ALONG
MRS. A. M. MoRoAN's WOUNDS
MAY PROVE FATAL
Driver Charles Smith Declared Grossly
TO Blame, but Jokes Over Acci-
dent While Victim Is
Removed

automobile for a distance of fifty feet
at the intersection Of Fifth and Wall
streets last night and severely injured.
Mrs. Morgan was taken into a near
by drug store Immediately after the
accident and later was removed to the
Emergency and General hospital. she
sustained several lacerated wounds or
the head and face and abrasions OF
the body. In addition to these she IS
suffering severely from the shock,
which, owing to her great age, makes
her condition serious.
The automobile which struck her was
driven by Charles H. Smith of 614 East
Twenty-third street, and, according TO
the police and the witnesses OF the &C
cident, Smith proved to be an mex
perienced and incapable driver.
Mrs. Morgan was slowly crossing
Fifth street when the motor car came
from the east. She saw the machine
coming and turned to retrace her steps
to the sidewalk. The machine was
first turned away from her and then
steered directly at her, striking her as
she was going away from 1t.
She was thrown full length on the
ground and gradually drawn beneath
the machine and dragged for dis
tance of fifty feet before her body
slipped from beneath it.
The machine was not stopped until
some little distance farther. In the
machine with Smith were his wife and
G. B. and Bertha Smith, his son and
daughter. -,
The occupants of the motor car did
not seem to think that the accident
was of any consequence. for they joked
about 1t as the body of the aged wom-
an was picked up and carried to the
drug store and afterward placed In the
ambulance for removal to the hos
pital.

BRYAN ASSAlLS
ANTI-INJUNCTION
.RlDICULES REPUBLICAN PLANK
ON QUESTION
"TRANsPARENT FRAUD" Is HIS
CHARACTERIZATION
Says it Is Possible Members of com-
mittee Were 6unkoed by Some
Trust Lawyer, Only charI-
table View
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb., June 21.-Following
UP his expression of yesterday in crit
icism of the Republican platform in
general, William ]. Bryan tonight gave
out statement in which he assails in
particular the anti-injuncton plank of
the Chicago convention, characterizing
it as transparent fraud"
The statement, which will appear un-
der the heading Republicans Deceiving
Labor" in the next issue of Mr.. Bryan's
Comlnoner, will say, in part:
1.-THE anti-injunction plank Of the Re-
publican platform, as finally adopted,
Is a transparent fraud 1t Is possible
that the members of the COMMITTEES
were buncoed by some trust lawyer
that is the only charitable view that
can be taken Of 1t.
"Those who advocated the plank
claimed to be doing SO as a concession
to the wage earners, and yet IL one Will
read the plank he will see that it is in
fact an announcement that the Repub-
lican party is unalterably opposed to
the laboring mans position.
1.-THE plank assumes that somebody
Is attacking the courts and that the
courts are In danger OF losing support
There is no attack upon the courts. and
there is no thought anywhere of inter-
fering with any legitimate function OF
the courts; the Republican convention
puts UP a man Of straw and then pro-
ceeds to demolish 1t: 1t suspects an un-
holy assault upon the Judiciary and its
righteous Indignation finds expression
in boastful assertion Of It's innocence
Of participation in any such suspected
assault"
Continuing, he says Secretary Taft
is known as the father of government
by injunction and his speeches in Ok
lahoma last year gave conclusive proof
of his adherence to the position taken
by him on the bench. He is still In
favor of the use of the writ of injunc,,
tion in labor cases, and he Is opposed
to trial by jury.
I'm a speech delivered in New York
last winter he said, in response to a
question, that the law ought to be so
amended as to give a hearing before
the injunction was granted and even
consented that the hearing should be
before a different judge from the one
who granted the injunction, but when
he came to prepare a plank for the con-
vention he did not go so far as he went
In his speech. The plank that went be-
fore the convention as his plank was
SO weak that It amounted to nothing,
but 1t was even then too strong Tor the
convention and the convention adopted
a plank which not only does not grant
any concessions to the laboring man.
buf really emphasizes the position
taken by large corporate employers by
hurting anathema at those who are
suspected of desire to modify the law
relating to injunctions.
"This is the treatment received by the
wage earners from the national con-
vention of the Republican party. II
this is the position of the party before
the election what reason has the labor
ing man to hope that the party will do
better after elections"

.SUFFRAGETTES HAVE
BIG DEMONSTRATION
HALF MILLION ASSEMBLE IN
HYDE PARK
Various PROFESSIONS, Each About a
Mile Long, Show Their Enthusiasm
for the cause--cIImax Of
Years Of Work


BY Associated Presa
LONDON, June 21.--Favored by
beautiful weather and again displaying
totally unexpected genius for organiza-
tion, the suffragettes' demonstration
In Hyde Park today was an unparal-
leled success.
Encouraged by previous successes,
the suffragettes planned todays DEM
onstration as climax OF the year
fight for women's suffrage.
It Is hardly too much to say that
never before was such demonstration
seen in London. Fully half million
people assembled in and around Hyde
Park as active or passive participants
in the great meeting, while for two or
three hours in the middle OF the day
the whole center Of the city was in a
ferment.
Various professions appeared, each
about mile long, and the routes
through which these passed were
densely crowded with spectators
The suffragettes from "the prov
inces' were met at the various rail-
road stations by delegations from the
London organizations and these, form.
ing into line, marched from different
points of the compass to Hyde PARK
After arriving there the leaders and
speakers of the various sections had
| literally to fight their way to the plat,
form. Probably there were about
twenty speakers In all and these ma,
rangued the masses on the rights OF
women to vote and the necessity OF
forcing parliament to adopt a resoiu'
| ton on the question. I4,-
| These women's demonstrations are
far more attractive from spectacular
point of view than those held by men
Almost all of the suffragettes wore
white dresses with sashes OF their col
| ors. green. white and purple, In
scribed "Vote for Women" and the
scene as viewed from the platforms
was quite q feast of color. There waf
much good-humored chaff1ng and the
speeches were practically inaudible.
The attitude of the onlookers was one
of amused tolerance. Ambulanees
were kept busy dealing with cases OF
| fainting and minor injuries. owing te
| the great pressure of the crowds, bu'
No serious accidents occurred.
Considerable scuffiing and rowdyisn
occurred around the platform occupie'
by Mrs. Parkhurst, the leader OF tn
suffragettes, and 1t finally became s.
serious as to need reinforcements o
police. Thirty persons were treated 10
slight injuries as result of the crowd
ing and fainting in this neighborhood.
