MEXICO NOW
BUYING SEVERAL
RIVER STEAM| RS

4 GaiVeston, June ~ Especially. -
Mexican traders, planters and steam
ship men engaging in coastwise and
river trade are demanding steam
boats of Mississippi river type and
this demand has created a market
which is being supplied to some ex.
tent by the steamboat owners of the
Southern states. During the past
month two river steamers which
have outlived their usefulness in the
rapidly growing river commerce of
the United States have been made
ready at Galveton for their trans
portation across the Gulf of Mexico
to Tampico, where they were, de-
livered to their buyers. The steam
ers are the Jennie Harbour and the
John H. Kirby.
The Barbour was for years en-
gagged in the cotton traffic along the
Mississippi. later was used on the
Neches river between Port Arthur
and Beaumont. She is Of the plain
old river type, flat bottomed and
broad beamed Her stern wheel has
churned the waters of many Ameri-
can streams, and many tales of ro-
nance and adventure, dating back
to the days of the Civil War, are
told and retold by those who have
trod her decks. The John H. Kir-
by is slightly smaller than the Jen-
ME Barbour, but has seen much SER
vice and is still capable of much
usefulness on the rivers of old Mex
leo. The shipping of these steamers
was one of the most unique occur
ences in the history of Galveston as
port. After the sale was consum-
mated, the vessels We're brought
here for the purpose of undergoing
a course of preparation for what
might be stormy voyage. The
freightcr, but was still used in ex-
cursion business at Galveston and
Houston. She was put on the ways
at Galveston last summer and given
complete overhauling, with new
bottpn aiBd other parts. The Bu9v
bour was pronounced capable Of
making the journey on her own
keel but the Kirby was loaded on
barge and thus shipped
1t was necessary to build water
WALL about the Barbour to keep the
Gulf waves from swamping the low
er deck, and this was done with
great four by eight timbers. The
stern wheel attachment of both
steamers was left intact. When all
preparations were completed the
handling the shipment Of
the vessels issued bills lading and
accepted the shipments in good or
der tor delivery to consignees at
Tampleo. To Offset the cost OF trans
portattOn, the owners OF the Bar
bour permitted her to be loaded with
barrelled oil and with this cargo she
was towed to Tampico to thes tug
Pan Anfenean, The John II. Kirby
was towed blythe tug Hornet. Both
shipments reached Tampico in good
order and the the river boats are
now churning the waters of tho
scenic Mexican streams,
Commenting upon the purchase OF
these boats Senor. Manuel Carrero,
who is visiting in Galveston, states
that they meet the precise require

YELLOW PERIL
DRIVEN OUT OF
CALIFORNIA CITY


little village sof Hemet,. near River
side. in Riverside County, and the
surrounding community has been
thrown into a turmoil by the expul-
sion from town today of thirty Jap
anese and Korean fruit packers ten
minutes after they arrived to help
harvest tie apricot yield.
Heretofore the hravesting has
been done by school boys who have
netted good vacation money They
were paid Z and s cents box. Jap
anese have never been looked upon
; with much favor and but few have
been employed in the vicinity.
The Apricot Growers Association,
however, decided to cut down pro-
duction costs and contracted with a
labor agent to have the picking done
at s cents a box by Mongolians.
News of the coming of the yell
low men spread and as they stepped
from the train committee of high
school boys, re-enforced by num-
Der OF husky workingmen, informed
the arriyels that Japanese were not
wanted.
Violence is Denied.
The presence of the yellow fruit
pickers asserted that he and his COM
patriots were not Japenese but
Koreans.
"You all look alike to us" de-
clared the chairman.
OF what followed reports are
vague and conflicting. Members OF
the committee stated that no threats
of violence We're uttered. Mayor
Shaw Of Hemet, who said that he
had been too busy in his shop to in
vestigate thoroughly, declared that
the boys probably bluffed the Japs
into leaving
Whatever was said, the effect was
nearly instantaneous. The Koreans
climbed aboard a Riverside train an
hour later. The Hemet COMMITTEES
smilingly denied that any threats
had been made, and asserted that
when the situation had been Tex
planned" TO the Koreans the latter
agreed to depart at once.
Fruit growers who had contracted
with the Koreans expressed indigna-
ton at the interference with their
plans. They declared that there was
not a sufficient number of white
fruit pickers at hand
Exciting developments are pro-
missed II the fruit raisers insist upon
violating sacred tradition by
bringing In Japanese or Koreans TO
harvest the fruit crops. Public feel
ing already is high against those
who took the initiative in importing
yellow labor.
Peril Pact Endangered.
Washington, June Z. - The Incl
dent of driving out of Korean citi-
zens near San Jacinto, Cal, is re-
garded here as story which may
upset the negotiations for peace
which were about to be concluded
in secret at the State Department be.

and the administration at Washing

The japanese Ambassador refused
to comment on the story, but seemed
to be much concerned over the re-
port, as, indeed. are the American
diplomats who have been watching
the progress of negotiations at the
State Department.
