that they are durable diseases.
Being nervous diseases they yield

0'BRItN HELPING The ]APS
is NOT FORCING
Willy MiKADo TO SIGN THE
PAPERS. /

Washington, Jan. IL. - Considering
the smartness with which exchanges
are progressing between America and
japan, relative to the adjustment OF
questions growing out of the immigra-
tion of japanese laborers into the
United 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-
ports 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
Japanese 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 the.
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 a 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 it's 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.

OUT ON APPEAL
~
SAN FRANCISCO FRENCH REsTAU.
RANT CONVICTION is SET
ASIDE.
NO OFfENSt AGAINST LAWS
RuEF's RIGHT TO DEMAND "FEEs"
AND DIVIDE LOOT WITH MAY.
OR UPHELD.

San Francisco, jan IL. - The dis
trict court of appeals handed down a
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 Ruefr 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
against him. Abe Ruef, who pleaded
guilty to extorting money from the
French restaurants, is therefore equal
ly gniltless.
Entitled to Release.
The decision wipes out the French
restaurant cases and pending charges
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 decisisions 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.
Schmitz 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 When 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.
