FIND DEAD BODY OF A MAN
IN CANYON NEAR MONR0VIA
Forest Ranger and Wife Stumble on
Corpse Just After Life Passes
Out - Looks Like
Suicide

Forest Ranger Reid and his wife yes
terday discovered the body of a man
in the mountains back of Monrovia less
than half hour after life was extinct.
The unidentified victim of poison
probably elf-administered, was hardly
cold in death when Reid and his wife,
out riding, almost stumbled across the
corpse, as their horses shifted suspi-
ciously.
The Reds hastily dismounted and be-
held the body, that of man appar-
emily between 40 and rs years of age,
in the underbrush, while nearby lay a
bottle that had contained cyanide Of
potassium and whisky. The unn1is-
taxable odor of peach stones denoted
the deadly cyanide and indicated prob
able suicide.
The body lay in Sawpit canyon,
pretty dip in the mountains at the
north end of Charlotte avenue 1t was
on a pile OF cement blocks which had
been used in constructing additions to
the power house in the canyon.
DR.. b. c. Davi was called, but as he
could do nothing, the body was re-
moved to Reynolds & Rennacker's
morgue.
An examination showed that the man
was probably in good circumstances at
one time, at least, as he wore a gray
summer suit of good material, light
vest and straw hat, all Of good grade.
The feet were encassd in silk socks and
patent leather shoes.

ONE THOUSAND ARE
MURDERED IN KOREA
THIS is RECORD FOR PAST FEW
MONTHS
Victims Are Mostly Hard Working
Men Whose Only Crime Is Oppo-
sltIon to the Disturbing
Element


BY Associated Press.
SEOUL, Korea, June Is, via San
Francisco, July NEARLY 1000 Ko-
reans have been murdered by the Ko-
rean insurgents and so-called patriots
within the last few months. These
Koreans were all members of the II
Ching Eei, a pro-Japanese society.
Most of the Koreans murdered by their
fellow countrymen were peaceful, hard
working men, whose only crime seems
to have been opposition to the dis
turbing element in the country and
friendliness to the Japanese protect
crate.
In addition to those murdered there
have been a number of cases OF cruelty
and hardship.
The actual statistics carefully COL
lected and in every case verified, show
that since the Japanese protectorate
at Korea commenced 926 members of
the II Ching Hei have been murdered
by the Korean insurgents, 800 houses
have been burned, involving a loss of
about $4,000 yen.
The revolution In Korean territory is
gradually being driven into a corner.
Scattered bands of rioters are being
rounded up, and either forced into
surrender or their activity effectually
stopped. The course taken by the gov
eminent in the last rigorous campaign
instituted against the disturbing ele-
ment is approved by the people of the
country, both foreign and natives.

JAPAN NOW BELIEVES
AMERICA is FRIENDLY

TOXIC, July THE action taken by
the American congress in appropriate
ing one and a half million dollars for
the Toxic grand exposition of 1912 has
done more than anything else to con-
vince the public that the policy OF
America is of friendship.
The exposition officials, who were
somewhat discouraged by the PROPOSE
ton to appropriate $250,000, are now loud
in their praise of the United States. 1t
Is believed the example thus set will
be followed more or less generally by
other countries, but 1t is hardly ex-
pected that any OF them will do what
has been done by America.
Preparations for the exposition are
now going on rapidly, and with the be-
ginning of 1909 ground will be broken.
Among the projects on foot for the
exposition year is six million dollar
hotel situated on high ground near the
exposition.
The government has been extremely
generous in connection with all projects
that will further the undertaking and
the greatest attention is being taken
to the requirements of the foreigners

STATES INTERESTS
TARIFF REVISION DISCUSSED
AT SAN FRANCISCO
To Retain the Existing Conditions
the Chief Executive Declares
Special Effort Must Be
Made
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 7.-California
interests which would be affected by
the proposed revision of the tariff have
combined to study the state and the
Pacific coasts need for protection, and
will present a memorial at the extra
ordinary session of congress whsn 1t
meets in Washington subsequent to
March of next year. This memorial
will be a succinct statement OF the
states interests and its purposes VIII
be to defend those interests.
This was decided upon today at
meeting attended by Governor Gillett,
United States Senator George G. Per-
kins, Congressman julius Kahn, Jo-
seph r. Knowland, J. c. Needham and
about fifty representatives Of CONNER
cial associations of the state.
Governor Gillett was temporary
chairman and Arthur B. Briggs, presi-
dent of the California state board Of
trade, was chosen as permanent chair
man of the organization. Chester W.
Burks, secretary OF the San Francisco
chamber of commerce, was elected sec
rotary. The state body on tariff revis-
ion will consist of a representative Of
each state organization, which would
be in anywise interested by the tariff.
1t was also provided that allied inter-
ests in all the coast states and the
Hawaiian islands be invited to CO.
operate with the California organiza-
lions.
Governor Gillett explained that re-
vision of the tariff was imminent, but
that under the Dingley bill the states
industries and activities were well pro-
tected, that deciduous fruits, dried
fruits, lumber, wool, wines and other
products we're on the protected list and
should be kept there.
To retain the existing protection, the
governor asserted, it would be neces-
sary for Californians to back up the
California delegation and r. well forth
| fed with facts to maintain their
position.
