o'BRIfN HELPING THE JAPS.
AMBASSADOR is NOT FORCING.
Willy MlKADo TO SIGN THE
PAPERS. t

Washington, Jan. r. = Considering
tho smartness with which exchanges
are progressing between America and
Janan. relative to the adjustment OF
questions growing out of the immigra-
tion of japanese laborers into the
limited States, the officials Of the state
department are puzzled to account for
the publication in various foreign cap
itals. as well as in this country, OF re-
norts calculated to convey the impress
sion that there is serious friction be-
tween the two countries over this sub
ject.
The latest OF these reports that the
.Japanese foreign Office is reluctant to
accede to demand" of Ambassador
O'Brien that an agreement to restrict
Jananese coolie immigration into the
United States be reduced to writing,
meets with unqualified contradiction
at the state department.
No Treaty Wanted.
Mr.. O'Brien is merely aiding the
Japanese officials to perfect interna-
tional regulations that will serve to
stop the indiscriminate immigration
evil. He is not expected to negotiate
| any treaty with Japan on this subject,
or even to secure modus vivendi, or
| anything in the nature of the written
agreement referred to in some of tbs
| press dispatches.
He has, under instructions from the
state department, acquainted the Jap
anese government with the fact that
the measures adopted in Japan last
spring, following the undertaking of
! the Japanese government to restrict
undesirable immigration to the United
States by careful regulation of the
issue of passports, have proved utterly
ineffective.
| Japanese Amazed.
| The Japanese officials were sur
prised at the figures presented by Mr..
O'Brien illustrating not only the con-
| tinuance of the coolie immigration
| into America, but its startling in.
| crease, even after the adoption of the
Japanese restrictive policy
Therefore these Japanese officials
have been endeavoring to frame regu
lations that shall be effective and in
the course of that effort they have nat
urally communicated freely with the
American ambassador.

NEW YORK FIRE FATAL TO FIVE

New York Jan. -. = Four firemen

they responded to a fire that ruined

Fought by half the firemen of Man

streets for blocks, the flames were

Guilty were confined to the building in
which they originated. Floor aftei.
floor gave way and dropped to the
basement, and beneath these and
crumbling walls no less than thirty
firemen were caught and either killed
outright or seriously injured.
Four Fail to Respond
When the fire had burned itself out
and the firemen's roll was called four
men failed to respond
One fireman was removed, DYING, to
the hospital, and two others were dan
gerously hurt.
The monetary loss was estimated at
100000. The fire was one of the
most spectacular as well as disas-
trous in recent years. From start to
finish its course was marked by heart
rending scenes, sensational escapes
and acts of heroism.
Spectacular Rescue.
On the top floor, in the Suffolk En-
craving company's establishment, six
men were working. Their escape was
cut off and they fled to the roof.
Flames had surrounded them on three.
sides, and they were in imminent
danger of death when rescued by
means of life line shot from NOR

the firemen's retreat. After fruitless
effort to stay the flames at the place

the windows, only to find that the
tops OF the ladders had heen burned,

OF the seven made desperate effort
TO reach the roof. They We're not

dead in the ruins. The other four
were rescued by men who at the risk

OUT ON APPEAL
SAN FRANCISCO FRENCH REsTAU.
RANT CONVICTION is SET
ASIDE.
NO OfF[NSt AGAINST LAWS
RUEFs RIGHT TO DEMAND "FEEs'
AND DIVIDE LOOT WITH MAY.
OR UPHELD.

San Francisco Jan. II. - The dis
trict court of appeals handed down
decision yesterday setting aside the
Judgment in the case of Former Mayor
Eugene e. schmitz, convicted of ex-
tortion in the French restaurant
cases. Abe Ruef also benefits by, the
ruling by the upper court, for accord
ing to It's decision he pleaded guilty to
an act that was no offense against the
laws of the state
According to the appellate judges,
the compelling of French restaurants
to pay fees" to Abe Ruef was not a
crime, even though Ruef divided the
fees" with the mayor.
After discussing the point the court
reversed the judgment against
Schmitz, on the ground that no acts
constituting crime had been proved
against him. Abe Ruef, who pleaded
guilty to extorting money from the
French restaurants, is therefore equal
ly guiltless.
Entitled to Release.
The decision wipes out the French
7 restaurant Cases ana pSllulliS CudISSo
OF extortion against Schmitz and Ruef
must be dismissed. Both are now en-
titled to release on bail. II they can
obtain the necessary bondsmen they
can remain at liberty until such time
as jury finds them guilty on one OF
the indictments charging them with
receiving brides from corporations.
News of the decisions spread rap
idly over the city, causing consterna-
ton in some quarters and delight in
others.
District Attorney Langdon said that
Schmitz and Ruef will be prosecuted
on other indictments that allege public
offenses.
Can't Get Out at Once.
Schnitz and Ruef cannot take adj
vantage of the decision for sixty days.
The prosecution has sixty days in
which to ask for rehearing. Then
the applicate court will have ten days
to consider the application. Whea that
is done, the prosecution will go
through the same procedure in the
supreme court, which will take tn,
same length of time. Consequently
Schmitz and Ruef will still be kept in
the county Jail for two months at
least.
