San Francisco, Aug. 18.-The Ger

coast off this harbor for the last week,
entered San Francisco bay and an.
chored just inside the Golden Gate
The cruiser sent ashore word that it
desired to communicate with the Ger.
man consul. ~. .,,.s
The Leipzig began to take on coal
and supplies. Permission in writing
however, had not been formally re.
quested and as soon as the collector
of the port learned that coaling had
begun without his authority he order
ed it stopped Immediately until the
formalities were completed. The act.
ing German consul protested, but the
collector was firm. Under the neu-
trality regulations, the Leipzig can
only take on sufficient coal to carry
her to the nearest German port, in
this case A-Pia Samoa. Also she must
leave before 1 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Lurking in the fog off the
Farrallones, is suppoehd to be the
French armored cruiser Montcalm, a
vessel superior in everything but

UNITED STATES ALARMED
AT LATE MOVE BY JAPAN

Washington, Aug. 18. - The news
from Japan of the ultimatum sent to
Germany by that country has made a
profound impre" :ion although nothing
can be procured from the state de-
partment, The United States is in
friendly relations to China and is gen.
orally understood tc guarantee her
neutrality. 1t is feared that Japan's
taking of Kiauchal will be but a pre-.
lude for the taking possession of 4
larger area of Chinese territory.
Kiauchau is concession granted to
Germany by China and it can make
but feeble resistance to the Japanese.

Victims Seriously Injured--
Man Who Did the Shoot
ing Is Unknown.
TUESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1914.

IO6o01IS 1OSSos '0S 'S'T'
Last night between the hours of
11:30 and II o'clock at the east end
of the high line bridge, Mike Suggs
of Chicago and w. A. Welman, of
Lansing, Michigan, were shot and
seriously wounded by an unknown per
son. The story of the two men is that
they had been riding on freight
train from the east, which stopped on
the east end of the high line bridge.
They talked the matter over and de-
cided to get off and walk to the city.
While walking along the side of the
train, going west, they saw the out
line Of a. figure, near the east end of
the bridge and supposed that it was
man. Without warning they were
fired upon, the shooter firing five shots
two of which took effect and both
men we're injured in the abdomen.
After the shooting, they made their
way to the Andrew Schilling house
where Mr.. Triepold telephoned for
the. officials. Deputy Sheriff James
Kelly and Chief of Police E. H. Swan
son responded to the call and went by
auto to the Schilling farm. They
brought the unfortunate men back and
took them to the P;atou hospital
where immediate care was given them
They were found to be in critical
condition but the chances are that
they will recover. Officers have not
been able to locate the man who did
the shooting but they have been work
ing on the case and may have some
thing to report later.

the plan and is pupshing it vigorously.
The ladies of the city are taking a
hand and are proving diligent work

The exposition is to be bigger and
better than ever. The exhibits are to
be more extensive and naturally
through favorable conditions more ex-
cellent. Several counties have sigred
for space, while business interests
have taken the entire third floor for
exhibits.
Prominent among the exhibits will
be that of the board of control, which
will occupy seven departments. The
exhibit last year was splendid, but
will be eclipsed this year. There will
be exhibits from each of the seven
state institutions under jurisdiction
of the board.
The parlor will be occupied by the
ladies for the exhibition of fancy
work. This, however, will not be ade-
quate for that exhibit this year, and
two other booths have been engaged
by them for the display of canned

The attitude Of tae United States, it
became clear, will beone of non-;nter-
ferance in the controversy between
Japan and Germany. This was re-
fected in the studied reticence Of
both the president and Secretary
Bryan. The president refrained from
expressing an opinion on the merits
of the ultimatum or Japan's attitude.

the "persident expressed himself as
satisfied with Japan's course" was
promptly denied by Secretary Tum. ~.

of Japan or any other country"
