BUSINESSES MANDAMIJS
LOOKING TO PASSAGE OF
PEACE RESOLUTIONS

Washington, July ,29.--Chief JUS
tice Mccoy of the District of Colum-
bia Supreme Court. today dismissed
the petition for mandamus to compel
Secretary of State Colby to promul-
gate the Congressional peace resolu-
ton vetoed by President Wilson and
declare the United States at peace
with Germany and Austria. Harry
5. Mccartney, an attorney of Chi
cago, who filed the petition noted an
appeal to the District Court of Ap-
peals and also announced his inten-
ton of seeking a writ of certiorari
from the United States Supreme
Court to transfer the case to that
tribunal without waiting for the &C
ion of the District Appellate tribunal.
Waving the point of absence of
formal demand as pointed out by the
court government attorneys called
the attention of the court to the sec
ton of the revised statues of the
United States in which is Sc forth
the power of the Secretary of State
over the laws as passed by Congress.
The attorney asserted that the Sec
rotary may declare as laws only
such acts of Congress as had re-
ceived the approval of the president
or had been sent to the secretary
by the President of the Senate or the
Speaker of the House depending on
which body was tn last to pass the
act over the veto.
AS the peace resolution after be-
ing vetoed by President Wilson fail
ed of re-enactment in the House.
the government commended the peace
resolution never reached Mr.. Colby
and a flandamus to compl him to
promulgate something which he has
never received would be vain and
useless

trouble of razing the old Gait block
wharf to make room for the new
State Pier Thursday morning when a
motorboat burst into flames at it's
mooring place beneath the structure.
Officer John Mulhern was in the
neighborhood and ran to the scene,
attracted by the blaze. Seeing the
danger to the wharf. he procured a
large stick of timber. reached down
to the blazing boat. and pushed it
out into the open. 1t is thought the
owners had left the boat. which was
numbered A-4992, but a little time
previous. Damage was confined to
the engine. Motorboats in the vicin-
ity were threatened by the high
reaching flames. but were pushed out
of danger also.

result OF the congressional inquiry in
California. \
MarysviIle, CAL, Incident
The Japanese, however, seem con-
WINGED that it is being conducted with
the utmost fairness and attention is
being called to statements that a
number of Americans have come for
ward spontaneously to testify in favor
of the Japanese. One of the things
that has gone to create an anti Amer
lean feeling was the burning of the
Japanese stores in Marysville, Cali
fornia. July p. which was possibly the
acts of nti-Japanese elements. Ar
ticles have been printed declaring that
Americans were engaged in. attempts
to steal Japanese maps, and that
these attempts had resulted in in
creased surveillance of American
tourists.
With regard to the Marysville affair
the foreign Office today gave out ca
BILE message from Consul General Ota
in San Francisco, saying:
TT is unbelievable that the case was
one of incendiarism connected with
anti-Japanese agitators."
To the consul generals message the
foreign Office in it's statements added a
denial that any of its officials have
made statements to the press than
they thought the fire the work Of anti
Japanese agitators.
No Map Stealing
AS regards the reports of map steal
ing, there seems to be no foundati ton
for them at all
Generally speaking. Japan at pres
ent. it is indicated in high quarters,
feels impelled to an effort to remove
suspicious abroad that she is aggres-
sively militaristic, especially as re-
CARDS China and Siberia. In this con-
nection some speakers and newspapers
are beginning to accuse America of
ton.
Fear U. s. Opposition
Without knowledge of or reference
to the new American note, the Japan
csc leaders are beginning to fear
America will adopt steadfast opposi-
ton to Japanese expansion. which they
consider legitimate and necessary.
Japan also is concerned over charges
that she is actively engaging in the
internal conflicts in China with the
object of insuring a continuance of
the conflicts, thus preventing strong,
united China which, it is alleged, Japan
secretly fears.
NJ. Hanihara, the vice foreign minis
ter, issued a statement today reiterat-
ing that Japan scrupulously had ad-
hered to the policy of non-interference
in China, but that nevertheless Japan
was charged with assisting the Anfu
group in the recent embroglio
1T has even been alleged" says the
statement. that Japan. in violation
of the new consortium agreement,
loaned several million dollars to the
Anfu party and the Japanese press is
urging the government to take advan-
tage Of the present opportunity to Sc
cure recognition of Japan's hold on
Manchuria. 1t need hardly he pointed
out that these charges are unfounded
and. untrue"
