TRAFFIC CBUR[AUFOR
JUSTICE AND PEACE
Manager Wheeler Purposes EN-
ployment Of Diplomatic
Methods With Railroads
Healthy Competition by Water,
He Says, Is Great Need
of San Francisco

Peace by diplomacy is the ruling
sentiment of William r. Wheeler, for
merly assistant secretary of commerce
and labor, who yesterday took up his
duties as manager OF the traffic bureau
of the Merchants exchange. and whose
efforts Will be directed toward bring
ing the railroads around to a sane
and reasonable opinion as to rates.
Aggression is bottom card in Wheel
er's pack All the others are diplo-
matte Where other men holding sim
liar positions have tried to effect a
ha armonious settlement with a bludgeon.
Wheeler will try diplomacy. delivered
with all the suavity and frills Of the
Washing gtonian school. a deliberate
fight is the last thing he is seeking.
BUREAU AIMS AT PEACE
Our friends, the railroads. said
Wheeler yesterday, seem to be pos
sessed of the idea that traffic bureau
is an organization formed for the
purpose of trouble. Now, that is ex-
ceedingly erroneous. It's principal
aim is peace-peace between the snip
per and the transportation companies.
And peace he added, lis very seldom
the result of fight. / have noticed
that nine tenths of the rate troubles
can be eliminated by peaceful and
harmonious conference. The shipper
has his viewpoint. the railroadman
his. That is but natural. The duties
of the traffic bureau have both sides
to view The situation from the same
plane. 1t is not necessary for either
the shippers or the railroads to become
all plO 10 eff
have failed.
Will that be your policy?" he was
asked
That will be my policy I have not
been here long enough to study the
conditions. and. therefore. can not give
any definite statement as to what ac-
tion / am going to take; but / can
declare that | will not favor any ag
gressive action until / am absolutely
forced to. After all, the interests of
the railroads and the shippers are
identical and the two should work to-
gether for their mutual benefit.
WATER COMPETITION NEEDED
ION the other hand 1 am firmly con-
vinced that San Francisco should ob
tain the full benefits of its birthright
as a llarbor In this respect it is more
fortunate than the inland cities. The
rates by sea should be based on the
cost Of transportation and the rates by
rail according to those by sea. A
healthy and legitimate competition by
sea is needed by San Francisco, but
Just how that is TO be obtained, can
not definitely say at present"
The condition of Mrs. Wheeler, moth
er of the new traffic bureau chief, who
is dangerously i'll. was unchanged yes
terday. Little hope for her recovery
is, however held out.

JAPANESE GOVERNMENT

Month of March Are Given

According to figures compiled by the
Japanese government and published by
Matsuzo Nagai acting consul general at
San Francisco. 212 more japanese re-
turned to their country during March
than came into the United States, and
95 more returned to Japan from Ha-
waii than landed there.
The actual number of Japanese land
ing in the United States during March
was 165, 81 Of these having come by
saloon. IL by second cabin and SO by
steerage.
OF the 416 japanese returning to
their native land % went by saloon. As
by second cabin and 800 by steerage.
This shows an excess of 207 of the
steerage class returning to japan
while of the saloon class two more
came into the United States than re-
turned. The same proportion prevails
to and from Hawaii.

LONDON, June est is today con
sidered practically certain that the
assassination at Stockholm Saturday
evening Of aj.-Gen. Beekman. chief
OF the Swedish coast artillery. Is the
beginning OF an anarchistic demonstra-
tion which Will continue during the
tour OF the car OF Russia through
Europe. The secret service agents OF
the Swedish government have un-
covered evidence which established be-
yond doubt the determination OF tho
European anarchists To make the cars
visit coincidental with antimonarchial
demonstrations in the countries
through which he travels.
Following the suicide OF the as
sassin OF Gen. Beekman. who died
yesterday OF wounds inflicted after he
shot the coast artillery chief and
wounded Surgeon Lavender. the police
discovered his death was the pre-
scribed end OF plot which resulted
in the choosing by lottery Of the man

coveries the police have established
that anarchists In Sweden, France,

TEHERAN. Persia. June 2s.--Plac.
ards announcing that the shah and
the royal family have been condemned
To death by secret meeting al which
band OF rebels were sworn TO execute
the sentence. greeted the eyes OF all
citizens when they awoke today.
Despite the careful precautions taxi
en- by Col. LiakhOof TO prevent any
demonstration or activity on the part
OF the rebels. the placards were dis
trlbnted last night and were posted
IN all places where they attracted the
gaze of the early morning crowds,
IL is learned that the shah has pre-
pared 10 flee To Russia as soon as II
appears that his life is In immediate
danger. The ruler and his advisors
pretend TO give the placards little ssr-
ious consideration. but this attitude Is
known TO be assumed for effect. The
rebels gathered IN the north are ap-
preaching Teheran rapidly, and IL ID
believed they have many active sym
pathizers In the city ready To join In
a movement against the shah
While the officials say the placards
were posted merely with the nope OF
frightening the shah and without any
real basis in fact, it is apparent that
most extraordinary precautions are
being taken 10 protect the rulers life.
The secret meeting is said 10 have
been held Sunday. The leaders, after
a prolonged discussion, are said TO
have decided that the only way to
free the country OF the present despo-
tism Is TO sremove the entire royal
