BORDER TROUBLE
MAY BE SERIOUS
CHINESE MASS TROOPS ON
KOREAN BOUNDARY
Belief Expressed That Conditions of
Frontier viii Cause Greater Con-
flict Than Dispute over An
Tung Railway
By Associated Press.)

VICTORIA, b. c., Aug. S.-Passen-
gers who arrived on the steamship
Monteagle from the Orient today, in
discussing the situation between Japan
and China, say conditions at Chientao,
on the Korean border is more likely to
cause serious trouble between the two
nations than the dispute over the An
Tung- Mukden railway.
When the MonteaRle sailed reports
had been received that the Chinese
had massed 5000 soldiers at Chientao,
and collisions between them and Jap
anese police were frequent. Dispatches
received before sailing say that follow
ing the arrest of a party of Koreans
by the Japanese at Chientao, the Chi
nese troops attacked the Japanese and
rescued the prisoners, several of the
japanese being wounded.
A boycott has been declared against
the Japanese by the Chinese and
Koreans of the district.
In discussing the dispute over the An
Tung- Mukden railway e. II. Gill, a
prominent merchant at Kobe, said that
many believe Japan is acting unjustly
in the matter, as the treaty with China
provided that the improvements should
be made within two years of the date
of the treaty, the time limit having
now expired Mr.. Gill says that in
discussing the treaty the Japanese pa
pers always omit reference to this
clause in the pact.

131 and defeating Spokane and Ia
coma. This match will likely include
North Yakima, Wash, a club which
includes most of the Camp Perry men
of Washington. a state that lands
from fifth to eighth place in the great
national match.
Range Is Proposed
The range has been staked off for
the skirmish run and August 90 under
the present plans, the club will hold
Its first skirmish competition, shooting
on the regular 500-yard target used in
the National match The 600-yard fir
ing point is being smoothed off and
shooting at this range will be done in
the future. More of a regular military
course will be followed in the future
for the benefit of the non-military
members of the club and also for the
practice of the military men who are
also members. Two of the clubs men,
Sergeant Kellogg and Sergeant Decius
made the California State Rifle team
to represent the state at the national
matches at Camp Perry, o. These are
the only Southern California men out
of the twenty sent north to make the
team and they ascribe much of their
success to the constant practice had
on the club range through the spring.
Following the Western Hardware and
Arms off-hand trophy shoot on the
29th a new match will be shot, to be
known as the combination match. This
will consist of len shots rapid fire with
the revolver at fifty yards, the time
limit to be ten seconds per string of
five shots: ten shots deliberate fire with
the revolver or pistol at fifty yards
ten shots rapid fire with the rifle at
200 yards. and ten shots each at 200
and 300 yards slow fire. any rife and
any revolver or pistol to be allowed.
Many of the clubs members are pistol
shots and this match is to make It
more interesting for the men who like
both rifles and the hand gun.

Manufacturers Stuff Imported Last
Year in Record Breaking Guam
titles, Save in Few Cases

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-All records
for importatiOns of manufacturers
material into the United states were
broken during the fiscal year ending
1909, according to the bureau of sta
tistics, in statement made public to-
day.
Raw wool, raw cotton, raw silk,
fibers, hides and skins, India rubber,
tobacco, tin, copper, lumber and GER
tain articles included under the general
group chemicals, drugs and dyes, "
are the principal articles imported for
manufacturing and in nearly All of
these the quantity imported i'm 1909
exceeded that ~ any earlier year,
Raw wool, however, is an exception.
1t shows slightly higher quantity

PROPOSE LAW TO
PROTECT VOTERS
DISMISSAL OF GIRL STIRS UP
INDIGNATION
Wilmington Citizens, Angered by At
tempted intimidation of Men in
Family of Miss Leonardo, Rec
ommend Protective Measure

That the discharge of a working girl
from the Brennan elkskin shoe factory
at Wilmington because her relatives
voted for consolidation may lead to the
enactment of California statute
against intimidation or other attempts
to control votes similar to those in
force in eastern states was evidenced
in comment on The Herald's account Of
the Brennan incident yesterday.
Some action ought to be taken to
prevent the recurrence of such an out
rage" was the opinion of members of
the Los Angeles consolidation commit
tee who We're told of the action of j.
NJ. Brennan, the anti-consolidation
leader, when they visited Wilmington
Saturday night.
This was an echo of the general
opinion in Wilmington. 1t is not i'm
probable that attorneys on the consoli-
dation committee will prepare a bill to
be submitted at the next session of the
legislature by assemblymen from Los
Angeles county providing severe pen
atty for any encroachment on the rights
of the voter.
THE Brennan matter was the more
reprehensible because it was directed
at a family whose members easily feel
any undernand attack on their daily
earnings" said Frank Garvin of Will
mington, who circulated the petition
which obtained $50 for Miss Mary
Leonardo from Wilmington citizens on
the morning she was discharged by
Brennan.
Something ought to be done to stop
such business. 1t won't hurt Miss
Leonardo's brother any to have Bren-
nan employees told they must not trade
at his meat market because he will
get additional trade to make up for it.
I hope we can find a suitable position
for Miss Leonardo in Los Angeles; in
fact. | am sure we shall have no
trouble, especially If she can prepare
herself with business education, for
we have had assurance enough that a
place of that kind will be made for her
whenever she cares to take it."

MARKSMEN BUSY
IN PREPARATION
PRACTICE FOR MATCHES WITH
N0RTHERNERS
Local Sharpshooters Turn Out at Glen-
dale Range to Brush Up for Tele-
graph Match to Be Held with
Four Teams August IS

Aside from half dozen rapid fire
scores, the records bored out by the
Los Angeles Rife and Revolver club
men at the Glendale range Sunday
would have pleased the northern clubs
immensely could they have seen them.
Rapid fire forms part of the match
with the northern clnbs-Tacoma, Spo-
kane, Seattle and North Yakima-to be
held August Is, and the local men are
busily practcing the hard stunt and
letting their slow fire shooting suffer.
Crossman was high at 200 yards with
the poor score of Al, getting hgih score
also at 200 yards rapid fire with 80 on
the same target; Hansen was high at
300 yards with A. while Nichols and
Felthensal tied for high at 500 yards
with another al score.
The entire string at 500 yards was
shot with the reloaded ammunition
and while it has proven satisfactory at
the shorter ranges, a high score has
never been made with it at the longer
one Hanson brought out a variety of
loads with the cast bullet, in the en-
deavor to find something that would
give satisfaction at the 500-yard range
in spite of the tricky wind prevailing,
but the members have come to the con-
able at the long range.
Experiments were the order of the
day, practically every crank out shoot
ing some new load in the endeavor to
find something better Crosslnan and
Hanson tried out some service sharp
pointed bullets with 81 grains of light
ming behind them but proved to be too
sensitive to the wind, although accurate
in other ways. Various loads of shot
a chp
ranges, some excellent combinations
being worked out.
A member of the Tacoma club sent
Secretary Crossman a sample box of
cast bullet that he says equals the SER
vice load in velocity, and these will be
thoroughly tried out after the coming
match with the northerners.
Rapid Fire Game
Hanson celebrated his introduction
to the rapid fire game by forgetting
to raise his sights after one of his
numerous changes in ammunition and
then plugging five shots into the bank
above the markers head, driving five
large holes in the target from the fly
ing rocks. Crossman shot a rapid fire
string on a bet with his military rifle
at 200 yards, putting all five shots in
the target in the time of eight seconds,
scoring Is with the string. In ordin-
ary rapid fire 20 seconds are allowed
for each string of five shots and the
shooting is done on a special target
using a figure life size of a kneeling
man, the figure being 40 inches high
and score five for any part Of it. The
shooting Sunday was done on the reg
ular 2OO-yard slow fire target, with
S-inch bullseye and four rings meas
uring 26 inches, making the hits much
scores would have been possible on the
rapid fire target.
The conditions of the match with the
northern clubs call for 10 shots rapid
fire at 200 yards 10 shots each at 200
yards, 300 yards and 500 yards, slow
fire Teams to consist of six men per
club. The last match was won by
