STATE DEPARTMENT AT WASH

WITH JAPANESE GOVERNMENT.

Toxic, Jan. 1.-THE dispatch of the
memorandum on the emigration ques-
ton by the Foreign office of the Am
erican embassy was the last official
act OF the Japanese government in the
year 1907. This is taken TO mean that
the government wishes to begin the
year 1908 under better auspices. In
fact, this has been admitted by an Off
cial of the Japanese government, who
said: We have every reason TO be.
lieve that the details of our admins
tration and future control of the emf
grafton question will be satisfa tory to
the American government.
President Roosevelt wanted japan
to act promptly, and our memorandum
is the result of much careful work and
investigation. While doubtless some
changes will be made before the mat
ter is finally disposed Of, We are of
the opinion that the last official act
of 1907 will make the dawn of 1908
brighter in both countries

form the basis wherein the two coun-
tries will be able to reach a final and

Mays vital statistics from Los An

births over deaths.
The months deaths numbered 296,
the births 1853.
OF the deaths ia were males and 1872
females. All were whites except six
negroes and six Mongolians. The ma
tive-born numbered sixty-one and the
foreign-born ninety-four, the remain
der being distributed between the Pa
cific and Atlantic states.
AS usual tuberculosis collected a
heavy toll, sixty-two dying from the
white plague. OF these only four were
native-born, and four had lived here
less than three months, eight less than
six and six less than twelve months.
There were two negroes In the list.
The males numbered forty-four and
the females eighteen.
OF the 1863 births only ten were col

AT LEAST A SANDWICH WAS
REQUIRED WITH ALL DRINKS

To the casual observer, with his
Sunday thirst, who strolled from one
cafe to another, the lid was ION" yes
terday and firmly screwed down. OF
course he could get all the drinks he
wanted; nevertheless the lid was on.
There was a marked change from last
Sunday In the methods employed in
serving patrons with intoxicants. The
forkless plate of beans, which did duty
for a full meal week ago. was re-
placed by a ham sandwich which cost
10 cents in some places and 15 in others.
1t was permissible to eat the sand
wich.
Some of the cafes refused absolutely
to serve short drinks-nothing less than
a pint of liquor of whatever sort could
be purchased. A pint of whisky could
be bought almost anywhere and taken
out. but some kind of food was an
obligatory accompaniment.
At one cafe visited by Herald re-
porters a distinction was made between
mixed drinks and straight drinks. 1t
was possible to get a straight whisky,
but a Scotch highball, for some reason
or other. was refused. An order from
one of the police commissioners is said
to have been served on the proprietors
of the cafes. They In turn passed the
order on to their walters. 1T was to the
effect that a full meal must be served
with liquor The penalty for violation
of this order is revocation of their Ii
cense. Plain clothes men were sent
among the cafes to see the order was

MAYOR TELLS WHY
HE ENFORCES LAWS
LICENSE HOLDERS GREW TOO
DEFIANT
Tells Gernan-AmerIcan League That
Regardless Of Personal Views
His Duty Was to Check
Violations

Mayor A. C. Harper was the guest Of
honor yesterday at the annual picnic of
the German-American alliance at
Schuetzen park.
The mayor made brief address to
his German friends, in which he ex-
planned the position of the administra-
ton ON the recent moral wave In the
police department.
He said he was enforcing law-abid-
ing system here and as long as the
statutes called for observance of the
saloon license laws he. as mayor, meant
to enforce them. He was glad to say
that he had the cooperation of the bet
ter element of saloon and restaurant
men.
Regardless of his own convictions of
personal liberty. it had become evil
dent that the majority of holders of
licenses had decided to ignore the laws
calling for serving of meals with drinks
under certain conditions and also re-
curing that saloons close at a. m.
Frequently the police had warned
violators of these laws, but this seemed
10 have no effect, hence a general and
strict observance of the law was the
only remedy.
If the majority of the people opposed
these laws they had their remedy in a
special election to repeal or amend
them.
