FAMOUS OLD PEDESTRIAN
REACHES LAST MILE POST

San Francisco. July 16.-Vigorous
as man of half his 70 years and
striding out like a soldier on parade
despite the forty miles he tramped
yesterday. Edward Payson Weston set
foot in San Francisco at 1880 o'clock
last night with his 4.0OO-mile journey
from New York to San Francisco COM
pleted.
The actual distance covered by the
white-haired athlete was 1925 miles
by mileposts, but figuring the thou
sands of times he has swung from
nearly 4,2oO miles.
The time consumed on the journey
was l05 days, five hours and forty
one minutes.
Starting on March IS. his 10th
birthday, from New York. Weston has
maintained gait of nearly forty
miles day all the way across the
continent, pausing for rest only on
Sunday. He Is bronzed so deeply that
his flowing mustache, bleached to
snowy whiteness, shows with startl-
ing distinctness against his ruddy
cheeks. and his age-shrunken form is
oddly at variance with his sturdy
stride and clear eyes.
The athelete bears letter to Post
master and will deliver 1t today. He
proceeded directly to his hotel from
the ferry.
Weston's long road actually ended
at Oakland mole. where he arrived at
5e:41 O'Clock last night. attended by a
orowd Of admirers who had waited
hours for his arrival. To offset the
ferry trip the pedestrian doubled on
his trail before reaching Oakland,
oovering six additional miles. With
this accomplished the journey ended
when he walked into the dispatcher's
once on the Mole.
No plans for the immediate future
hsys been made by Weston. but It is

CRIPPLE CREEK WAGE
SCALE INVESTIGATED

Cripple Creek. July 1.-THE execu-
tive committee OF the Mineowners
and Operators association. is in SEES
sion this afternoon. and gave out the
following statement for the press:
This committee has Investigated
the wage condition in this district
called into question by a recent cpl
sode concerning alleged Italian lab
orers working on the grading Of =
railroad bed near the Portland mill
site. The committee nnds after full
Investigation that no man 10 working
about the mines or mills Of this dis
trict for wage less than % per day:
that the grading work mentioned II
regular railroad work such as has al
ways been permitted TO be carried on
for a wage scale for that class Of
work and beyond the control OF this
association: that there are no so-call-
ed "Dagoes" among the laborers do
ing this grading work. On the con-
trary. those employed are apparently
all Americans and their work Ia the
same as performed by ordinary sec
ton or railroad hands. This commit
tee further finds that none Of the men
that have been run ont OF the district
or shot were employed on this grad
Ing work or working for less than the
regular established scale OF the dis
trict. Three Of the men recently run
out have been working at one OF the
samplers for considerably over n year
and the man shot, Paul Zobray. was a
regular employe at the Golden Cycle
mine at the established wage"

In reply beg leave to say 1 have
caused the most careful search to be
made of the records. and since Decem-
Der l, 1908. when assumed once, 1t
appears that not a single case falling
under the treaty has been presented to
this court for action. Moreover. the
former public administrator, Mr.. Nor
ley, and his successor (who. by the
way. is the proper competent author

have informed me that NO such case
has come to their attention since I
took up my ofncial duties. There was,
therefore, no provocation for your let
ter and the implied imputation therein
contained. Signor Rossi. who is q very
estimable gentleman. I am sure had
in mind instances occurring else
where when he spoke to you.
Like you and for possibly the same
reason, take lively interest in the
welfare of our law-attiding Italian

ness in this court and l have yet to
hear of a single complaint that the
property rights Of anyone have suffer-

do not approve OF publicity In such
matter, but as you have requested 1t
1 have ordered your letter placed in

would seem unnecessary as the public
administrator of this city, has for his
guidance all the treaties between the
United States and foreign countries
bearing on the subject, In handbook
form prepared under a resolution OF
the senate of the United States.
Should any complaint be made to
you in the future touching the con-
duct of this court, and you deem 1t
sufficiently serious to notice, l would
respectfully suggest that you refer
the matter to the chief justice. By
section of article 6 of the constitu-
ton of Colorado, the superintendening
control of the courts OF this state is
vested in the supreme court and not
in the governor. Very respectfully,

JAP ARMY FLAMING 10
SEIZE IsLAND Or HONOLULU

Honolulu. July 1e.-Tventy thou
sand Japanese-most OF them veter-
ans Of the mikado's army-are en-
camped in the Hawaiian Islands. Most
Of the Japs are heavily armed and.
while they insist that their perfect
military organization is for the pur-
pose Of carrying ON the strike Of the
Japanese laborers employed ON the
plantations. Americans. on the islands
are rapidly coming to the conclusion
that the present coalitions have been
craftily planned By the Japs. with .
view OF seixing the Islands.
twenty o1t1e1BAn for coatsmpt Of
court were issued today for the lead
ers Of the Japanese. II 10 expected
that 4 battle will follow the efforts Of
the sheriff to serve the papers. The
Japs are charged with violating the
Injunction restraining them from boy
cotting, picketing, or In any manner
interfering with plantation laborers
who wish to return to work.
The local authorities are alarmed.
They have discovered that the Japs
have established martial law over
their own people In many parts Of the
islands. Court-martials have been or
ganised to try offending Japs. Camps
under military discipline have been
established and military passes have
been issued to Japs who have = right
to 80 through the sentry lines.
Among the Japanese who came here
in tie Euise of lahorers are many Of
ficers Of the japanese army. Two gen.
erals are said to be commanding the
movements Of all the other japanese.
Commissariats have been established
and In some camps the Japa are drill
ing q greater part OF each day.
The whole situation recalls the ex-
citing incident of January Is, 1898.
when the japanese battleship Naniwa
sailed into the harbor here With 10000
rifles in her hold. sent for the purpose
of arming 10000 Jap soldiers. dis
guised as laborers, and to seize the
islands in the name Of the nnikado.
On that memorable occasion the
Americans stepped in. dethroned
Queen Lilliuokalani and established
the American protectorate. which
frustrated the plans Of the Japanese
before they had a chance to strike.
This move is believed to have an
gered the mikado to such an extent
that he has never ceased planning to
seize the Hawaiian islands, and that
he is now prepared to strike through
the horde Of his well-trained and or
ganized subjects, who have been To-
mentfng trouble here for several
months.
The charge is made in the local press
that the High Wage association of the
Japs has an organization that prac-
tical1y usurps the powers OF govern
ment.
The strikers appear to be receiving
steady contributions for their main
tenance from Japan.
Six strikers arrested at Waimanalo
plantation pleaded guilty to assault
ing the Japanese foreman who did not
go out with them. One was sentenced
to six months in Jail ar i five to five
months each.
