CHICAGO, April 26.-The Tribune to-
day prints the following special dis
patch from Washington:
The administration soon is to en-
gage in one of the biggest railroad in
vestigations in the history of the coun-
try.
The work is to be done by an Off
cial of the department of Justice and an
agent of the interstate commerce COM
mission. The lines affected are the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad
company; Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad company; Chicago.
Rock Island and Pacific railroad COM
pany; Colorado Midland railroad COM

road company, Missouri Pacific railroad
company, Oregon railway and naviga-
tion company, Oregon Short Line rail-
road company; San Pedro, Los Angeles

Pacific railroad company.

lawful of the enforcement of unjust
and despotic rates both for freight and

ination in rates.

NO JAPANESE COOLIES
AT THE SEATTLE FAIR
Jinrikshas Drawn by White
Men, as Consul Protests

SEATTLE. April 26.--The action of
Japanese Consul Tanaka in protesting
against the employment of Japanese in
native eoolie costume as jinriksha men
on the Alaska Yukon Pacific grounds,
the protest resulting in the concession
aire being forbidden by the fair man
agement TO employ Japanese. was
taken to carry out the policy of the
Japanese national government.
The entire anti-Japanese sentiment in
the United States, said Consul Tanaka
today. is founded upon the theory that
Japanese labor is of a low order and
cheaply employed.
The Japanese governments elaborate
exhibit at the fair has been arranged
to dispel this idea and employment OF
Japanese coolies on the grounds would
defeat the whole purpose of the ex-
hibit. White men will pull the jinrik-
shas.
