CINCINNATI, June 27.-To add to
Cincinnati's difficulties a strike of
teamsters and omnibus drivers, in
volving about 5000 men, is scheduled
to begin tomorrow. This in addition
to the strike of garment workers and
ice deliverers will further cripple
business. ...-.
The teamsters and drivers last night
adopted a new wage scale which will
be submitted to the employers this
afternoon and unless accepted, the
tieup will go into effect Saturday.
An increase in wages for all classes
of teamsters is demanded. General
Organizer Mccarthy for the teamsters
insists it will be a battle to the finish
The garment tieup promises to be
long drawn out. There is but little
sign of a break in the forces of the

INCIDENT is REPORTED,

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27-Y. Nu-
mano, acting Japanese consul general
here today received report OF the ac-
ton of the citizens of Homet, a small
town near Riverside, Col, who yester-
day drove fifteen Asiatics out of town.
The mikado's representative would
not indicate whether he would take
action on the report
According to the story from Homet
the men who were driven out had been
brought there by Joseph Simpson and
William Wilson, fruitgrowers, to pick
apricots. A band Of citizens met tho
party at the train, threw the Asiatics'
baggage back on board ana ordered
them to climb on the train and not re-
turn. When Simpson and Wilson pro-
tested the men were Koreans and not
Japanese, the ringleader of the party
Of citizens said:
THAT don't make any difference.
We don't want Koreans in Homet,
either. They are just as Objectionable
as the Japs. And don't you fellows
try to bring any of them in here
again.
The report of the incident was
brought to the Japanese government
representative here because the mika-
do protects Koreans as we'll as his
own subjects since Korea became a
Japanese dependency.

BY NEW OUTBREAK
Dispute With Japan Over Ex-
pulsion of Koreans From
Homet, CAL, Seen.

WASHINGTON, June 27-Just a
small incident in itself, but very dis
turbing nevertheless, is the prelim-
mary estimate of the affair at Homet,
Cal, yesterday afternoon involving the
forcible expulsion from the commun-
ity of band of Korean fruit pickers.
1t is expected that the incident will be
the subject of representation by the
Japanese ambassador as soon as he
has been advised by the acting Jap
anese counsel general at San Francis
co of all the facts. Then it will be
incumbent upon Secretary Bryan to
transmit any complaint to Governor
Johnson with the intimation that the
president relies on him to see that
justice is done to aliens within the
United States under terms of existing
treaties.
Beyond that it is scarcely possible
for the national government to go at
this stage at least though later on it
may be necessary to ask congress to
indemnify the Koreans Who have suf-
fered any financial loss by the hostile
action by the Homet people

county. Knapp pleaded not guilty to
the charge and maintained he had
struck the blow in self-defense.
Evidence in the case tended TO show
that he had laid in wait for the mar

rebel sympathizers formed the

Because of the intimate connection
of Morton with Richmond and vicinity

speech of the evening. Mr.. Rupe spoke
of the first attempts to form a military

"The organization formed later" he
said, was organized with that broad

them, a bond which is born during a
trial of danger and peril.

Robbed a House.
MADE A HEAVY HAUL

The solution of a series of robberies
and petty thefts in this city during
the past month, was brought to light
yesterday afternoon by Chief of Police
Gormon when he succeeded in appre-
hending two boys, each twelve years
old, who robbed the home of Harmon
Woke, National road. The boys are
now at the Home of the Friendless
where they will be kept until some dis
position of their cases is made by
Mrs. Chandler, probation officer. An
other boy, aged twelve, will probably
be arrested later. The names of the
boys are withheld because of theii
youth.
This morning the parents Of the
boys saw them for the first time since
their arrest, and, both parents and
children sobbed pitifulIy when they
confronted each other.
Stole Six Bicycles.
Within the past week, three boys
have stolen six bicycles, riding them
until they became tired and then leay-
ing them. usually in Glen Miller park.
These thefts have been going on for
the past three weeks in spite of the
fact that Chief Gormon questioned the
boys at his Office almost every day.
Although very young, they are shrewd
and employed methods older offenders
would not have thought OF.
Yesterday afternoon, the two boys
who were arrested stole bicycles at
the NJ. Rumely factory. They started
to Centerville. robbing the home OF
Harmon Woke while on the way. They
secured three gold bracelets, a silver

L., H. & P. Might Have Pow

BOSTON PHONE CASE

If the Allegheny Natural Gas com
pany does not accept a contract from
the city of Richmond to furnish natur-
al gas and contracts with the Light
Heat & Power company to supply ii
with the commodity, the latter com
pany may have the right to fix the
price of the natural product in excess
to the rate proposed by the Allegheny
company.
That there is a probability of the
Public Service Commission of Indiana
taking into consideration the entire
plant valuation of the Richmond Light
Heat and Power company in fixing a
rate on natural gas, was admitted to
day by Judge ]. l.. Clark, member OF
the commission, who was in Richmond
examining witnesses in the telephone
controversy at Boston.
The question was asked Judge Clark
and he said that it was very import
ant one and that the commission had
discussed the matter at some length
at different times, but it had not ar
rived at any conclusion.
Withholds His Opinion.
He said that he could not state how
the commission felt about the matter
and he was not at liberty at this time
to give his own opinion on the sub
ject
If the commission takes into consid-
Grafton the whole investment of the
r. L., H. & P. Company in Richmond
in fixing rates for natural gas, in the
event that company contracts with
the Allegheny company, It is thought
by many that substantial increase
over the 40 cents per thousand cubic
feet would be allowed.
The majority O. gas consumers hope
that if the Allegheny Gas company
does not accept the city contract for
natural gas and the L., H. & P. com
pany secures it, the commission will
not permit them to fix rates on val
uation covering the entire investment
of the company in both artificial and
natural gas plants.
Nothing has been heard by any one
connected with the negotiations for
natural gas, regarding the progress of
the two companies toward entering
into a contract.
Judge Clark said today that no for
NAL application had been filed with
the board regarding either the water
or gas rates in Richmond, but as
