An ARMED CAMP

Portiand, Ore, Jan. 3-The Oregonian

It's Vancouver. Il. c.. correspondent:
While at no stage did the fight be-
tween the three city nremen and the Jan
anese early New Years morning reach
anything lig the dimensions OF the Sem
tember riots. the incident has revived the
bitter feelings. After all the explana-
tions and apologies made both civic and
governmental. Vancouver did not believe
II possible that an attack such as occur
red could be made.
All three victims are still alive. though
at least two are disfigured for life. Young
Frost, fine looking athlete. has his
nose sliced off by one of the sword-like
knives Of the Japanese. The other men
though fearfully injured, are recovering

onlq four Japanese have so far been
arrested and all are held on charges of
attempted murder. The most serious feat

anese section Is practically an armed
camp against the whites OF Vancouver
TWO thousand men live together there
ready TO resent the slightest interference.
In present instance is regarded as par
tcularly flagrant because the young mon

for aught the japanese knew. might have
been attacking policemen. The CORE
spondence concludes: Vancouver has
been little ashamed OF herself since the
night OF the September riot, but the
frightful attack OF New Years morning
is just now being regarded I'm some quar-
ters as showing complete Justification
Theer is not any particular danger Of an
other big riot in Vancouver except for
just one thing-a murder. That Is what
tho authorities are afraid Of"
Last night the Vancouver Trades and
Labor council discussed the Japanese
question. There was large attendance
OF laboring men. IL was seriously pro-
posed that if there was no legal machin-
cry by which the police could get through
all the houses OF the Japanese section OF
the city, to search for knives and re-
volvers. and thoroughly disarm the Jap
anese, then the laboring men would arm
themselves with revolvers for cases OF
emergency.
No resolution was passed on this SUBJ
jest but resolution was passed refer
