MUCH CONCERNED
FEARS JAPANESE TROUBLE
WILL RESULT SERIOUSLY
President No Longer Conccals His
Feelings and Forsccs Grave Consc-
qucnccs I'm the Event shc California
Legislators Fail To Keep Their
Promises and Lcgislatc Against the
Japs, t'f 81

Washington d. c., Jan. 21,-It be-
came known here today that Roosevelt
is concerned over the japanese trou-
BILE. He forsees grave consequences
in event the California legislators do
not keep their promises to postpone
anti-Japanese legislation.
Roosevelt no longer conceals his
feelings, and is displeased because af-
ter he had settled the controversy ar
lsng over the school question Califor-
mia legislators would kick the bucket
over by proposing measures against
the JaDs.
In a lengthy interview former
Mayor Phelan of San Francisco, who
Is here in the interest of legislation
affecting the Pacific coast, today de-
clared the Pacific coast is unprotect-
ed because the president refused to
keep the Atlantic fleet here. He says
Roosevelt's action in interfering to-
prevent anti-Japanese legislation in
the California legislature Is right, as
the president knows more about the
Japanese question than the Califor-
mans.
"Shall we maintain our standard, or
shall we lower ourselves to the bust |
ness levels of the Japanese?" asked |
Phelan. He says Japanese never be- |
come Americanized.

EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLAR LOSS
CAUSED BY EARLY MORNING FIRE

A fire loss of about $4,000 occurred
this morning at $3.50 o'clock in a mys-
terious blaze in the hall of the Ar
mory building on Court street. The
fire was not discovered until after il
had made good headway and although
confined almost entirely to the nall
way and anterooms of the armory
proper, the loss by water was very
heavy
The blaze caught in a pile of shaw
ings in the hallway just at the head
of the stairs. The shavings were from
the floor of the armory which had
been recently refinished and are sup
posed to have had considerable grease
and wax among them. In the same
corner stood a barrel of floor prep
aration which was also quite heavy
with oils.
Whether the fire was due to spon-
taneous combustion. a lighted cigar
cite flung carelessly into the corner
or whether it was incendiary in its
origin is unknown. Thomas Taylor.
one Of the owners of the building. be-
lieves that spontaneous combustion
was the cause.
When the fire was discovered II had
gained so much headway that the en-
tire interior Of the hallway was ablaze.
The skylght above acted as a chin
ney and carried the flames up through
the roof OF the building
A line of hose was carried up from
the street to the roof of the building
by ID. p. Waffle and played upon the
flames from above. Several lines were
put on from below.
The damage to the building is be-
lieved to have been about $4,000 The
entire hallway was charred and burn !
ed the roof burned through and a
small hole burned through the floor
into the Rohrman bakery. The fire,
however. was kept out of the armory

Washington, D. c., Jan 21-The
general army staff Issued report de-
claring that the immediate fortifica-
ton of san Pedro harhor in California
Is necessary to the welfare of the
country.
The staff lays stress on the ease
with which "a certain oriental pow
er, meaning japan, could occupy the
harbor, utilize it as a base of opera
tions against the rest Of the coast and
the Panama canal An enemy could
within month begin GLAND 100000
men on the coast, says the report,
which also says Unalaska and Pearl
harbor could be seized by oriental
powers.
The report points 70 the fact that
IL the points mentioned are ever seiz-
ed the United States could never re-
gain possession of them. Maps were
submitted to prove the situation.
1t is estimated that S3.655 ,269 will
be required to fortify San Pedro.
