STILL COMPLAINT ON COAST
ABOUT INFLUX Of JAPANESE

SAN FRANCISCO, April 17.-That
the danger to this country by reason
of the influx of Japanese cheap labor
is far from being eliminated by the
new treaty recently entered into be-
tween this country and Japan, was
asserted yesterday afternoon at the
meeting of the Asiatic Exclusion
League in it's hall at 313 Fourteenth
street. Secretary A. e. Yoell read
excerpts from letters received from
several members of the Congress that
approved of the treaty, all of them
expressing the opinion that there is
nothing in the treaty that alters the
conditions that previously existed.
The messages read were from Sen
ator George G. Perkins and Represen-
tative e. A. Hayes. The communica-
ton from Perkins was as follows:
"The general opinion is that the
new treaty with Japan is an improve
ment on the old treaty, and gives us
additional safeguards against the in
flux of cheap labor from the Orient.
while the treaty itself does not re-
fer to this subject, there is a provis-
ion that it can be abrogated with only
six months notice, which would, Of
course, be done were there an attempt
on the part of Japan to encourage
in any way the emigration of Japa-
nese laborers to our country. In that
case we should take into our hands
the work of preventing the landing of
those to whom objection is made. ia
pan, by the treaty, acknowledges our
right to deport those who have not
the papers showing that they have at
home the standing which removes
them from the class to which we OBJ
would result in the almost immediate
abrogation of the treaty, which would
leave us firm to deal with the prob
lem in our own way"
Unchanged, Says Hayes.
Representative Hayes writes: 81 do
not think that the new Japanese
treaty will have any effect upon the
question of the immigration of Japa-
nese to this country. The condition,
as it has been for the last two years,
will remain absolutely unchanged in
definitely. OF course, Japan can at
any time change her policy, but it is
certain that she will not
do so while the present influences are
paramount in the Government of ia

COUNT OKUMA'S VIEWS OF THE
JAPANESE EMIGRATION QUESTION

Commenting recently on the new
Acknowledgements Treaty, Counr Oku-
ma, one of the greatest of Japanese
statesr' en-, disclosed the attitude of
the intelligent class of Japanese to
the emigration question. He said:
1--WE are not proud of the Japanese
emigrants who go to America. They
are coolies. They do not understand
what trouble they have been giving
to the Japanese nation by their pres
ence in America. Somebody in Japan
set the bad example of conducting an
emigration business Urged by a
spirit of greed, certain unscrupulous
members Of the Liberal party even
went so far as TO conduct the emf
grafton to Hawaii in contravention of
the law, This whole emigration mat
ter is one singularly distasteful. The
advocates OF emigration often point to
the overcrowding of Japan as a reason
for the desirability of promoting it.
but when We remember the rate OF
increase of the population at home
(nore than 100000 a year, as COM
pared with the total number of Japa.
nese emigrants abroad (about 100000.
IT. is evident that no importance
can be attached to emigration in
this respect. Other advocates
of emigration argue that Italy has
been enriched by the emigrants' remit
tances. This is an exaggerated state
ment, and needs no refutation. The
emigration question, at all events,
should be treated merely as an elnigra.
ton question, and not as one either
political or diplomatic. l sympathize
with our diplomatic authorities in the
of their task in handling this
question, and l do not consider the
Japanese memorandum concerning
the restriction of emigration to mean
Japai csc submission towards Amer
lea. The Japanese have a tendency
to glory in that diplomacy which has
something of the military display in
1t. Such mental attitude ought to
be thoroughly condemned. At the
time of the Austria-Prussian War, the
party headed by General
Moltke was for taking strong poll
y towards Austria. Prince Bismarck
pointed out the fallacy of that poll {

sized certain conditions that it is de-
clared go to refute the assertion that
Japanese are embracing every oppor-
tunity to return from the United
States to their native land. 1t was
asserted that this report has been
circulated by the Japanese transporta-
ton lines, and that it has been en-
phatically denied by members of the
Pasadena Japanese Association. Also,
the Secretary's report said:
Local Japanese laugh at the report
and say there is nothing in it. Mr..
Kasai, editor of the Japanese paper
published in Pasadena, reiterates the
statements that Japanese were not 60
ing back to their own country, and,
as a good indication, the membership
of the association is pointed out, Last
year there were fifty members; last
month the number reGched beyond the
hundred mark, and during the last
view weeks the membership has in
creased, with no sign of a general
Japanese disappearance.
Says They Are Not Leaving.
"I have heard nothing about Jap
anese leaving for their own country,
said one prominent member of the Or
ganiZation. There have been no indi-
cations here that there is a general
move back to our land. In fact, Japan
is no longer the native country Of
many who are in this city. A great
many of the Japanese boys have be-
come American citizens. One would
be surprised to learn of the great
number of American born citizens IN
the Japanese colony"
The report of the secretary, refer
ring to the work of the Legislature
just adjourned, sad: "The worst thing
that the Legislature did was to defeat
the alien land bill. Both parties had
proclaimed their love for the Ameri-
can workingman, and a majority of
all candidates for the Legislature
sent letters to this league stating that
they would support an alien land bill
and would not bow down to the big
stick"

CAPT. COOKS TROUBLE.

Chronicle: Robbed by alcohol of all
sane instincts, his memory blank for
hours, Captain Frank A. Cook of the
United States Subsistence Department
last night attempted to force an en-
trance into market at ISL Market
street and in an encounter with the
light Waterman, John ]. Hayes, was
shot in the left side, the bullet miss
ing his heart by a fraction of an inch
and just grazing the lung.
A few hours later, when DR.. George
NJ. Terrill at the Central Emergency
Hospital, who treated Captain Cook
at the time of his injury, paid visit
t. the room in which the wounded man
was confined, there was a tragic scene
cf recognition between brave soldier
who had led his troops in a charge
that annihilated the forces of Geroni-
mo in the Apache war twenty-six
years ago, and the elderly surgeon
who served under Genral Lawton in
the same campaign.
Captain Cook was unable, even after
he had fully revived, to recollect the
event that had led to his shooting and
arrest. Back fom Manila only few
days, he says he went to the st.
Francis Hotel to meet some comrades.
They had a few drinks and after that
he can recollect nothing of what oc-
Cured.
Shortly before o'clock yesterday
morning John Hayes, employed as
Waterman in a Market-street store,
heard the sound of some person VIC
lently attempting to force an entrance.
Hayes sprang toward the door and
saw Cook, who had stepped inside .
Hayes ordered him to leave, but Cook
advanced and grappled with the watch
man, who is nearly 20 years old. Hayes /
freed himself and brought his club ,
down on the head of his assailant.
In a moment Captain Cook had Sc
cured possession of the club and struck |
back. Then Hayes drew his revolver
and fired twice at the officer, the sec
ond bullet piercing Cooks left side.
Despite his wound. the Captain man
aged to throw Hayes to the ground,
when Policeman Gaylord stationed
near by, rushed in and after a GARD
subdued Cook. An ambu-
lance was summoned and Cook was
hurried to the Genital Emergency Hos
pital, where DR.. Terrill discovered that
the wound was not serious and order
