ANOTHER INCIDENT.
Happens in california-Slieht But
May Affront Japanese.

Washington, June 27.-Just small
incident in itself but very disturbing
nevertheless is the preliminary official
estimate of the affair at Helmet, Cal,
yesterday, involving the forcible ex-
pulsion from the community OF band
of Corean, fruit pickers.
1t is expected that the incident VIII
be the subject of representations ny
the Japanese ambassador as soon rs
he has been advised by the acting
Japanese consul general at San Fran,
cisco of all the facts. Then it will be
incumbent upon Secretary Bryan to
transmit any complaint to Gov. john
son with an intimation that the Pres
ident relies upon him to see that JUS
tice is done to aliens within the Unit
ed States under terms of existing
treaties.
Beyond that 1t is hardly possible for
the national government to go at this
stage at least, though later on it may
become necessary to ask Congress to
indemnify the Coreans who have suf-
fered any financial loss by the hostile
actions Of the community at Helmet.
