TO GUST JAPANESE
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SEATTLE, March 12.-The boycott
viii, be used freely in Seattle as the
weapon of the Asiatic Exclusion league
against the Japanese.
This league was formed for the pur-
rose of waging a campaign against
orientals, Japanese in particular. Lit
tie progress has been made in its eff
fcrts to drive out Japanese labor and
tonight the league decided to apply the
boycott to such firms or business
houses as refuse to discharge their
oriental help.
The firms will first be given chance
to get rid of such help and if they do
ncr comply with the demand of the
league will be placed on a black list.
Since the membership of the list is
made UP almost exclusively of trades
unionists the action of the league is
likely to prove serious.

By Associated i'ress-
NEW YORK, March 12.-Four stock
holders of the Union Pacific Railroad
company, all residents of Connecticut,
have made formal demand upon the
directors of the Union Pacific that ac-
tions at law, or in equity, be COM
menced without delay for the recovery
of funds alleged to have been unlaw-
fully diverted from the treasury of the
company.
According to Attorney Leonard NJ.
Walstein, who said he represented the
signers of the demands, which take the
form of q petition, copies of the same
had been sent to most of the directors
today.
Mr.. Walstein appeared as one of the
counsel for Stuyvesant Fish in the lat
ter's fight for control of the Illinois
Central, but he stated that Mr.. Fish
was not behind the present movement.
Fight Not on Maenste
Mr.. Walstein also explained that the
action was not to be construed as an
attack on E. II. Hartman personally.
While the names of but four stock
holders are signed to the petition, Wal
stein declared other and powerful
financial interests were united in sup
port of it.
The petition bears the signatures of
Lewis A. STAIRS of Hartford, William
A. Arnold of Willmantic. Albert c..
Bates of East CRANKY and Henry II.
Buck of Hartford, in the order named,
and is dated March 9.
In 1t are contained allegations that
certain officers and directors of the
Union Pacific have "profited unfairly
through sales of other securities to the
Union Pacific.
Reference is made to the refusal of
e. H Hartman to testify before
the interstate commerce commission
whether the Illinois Central stock sold
by himself and H. II. Rogers and James
Stillman had been acquired by a syn
dicate or pool for the purpose of the
sale to the Union Pacific.
