SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM FEAS MOB VIOLENCE Japanese Consul at Seattle Ap- peals for Protection. PRESS MAKES LIKE DEMAND Believes Demonstration by Exclusion League May Lead to Inciting an Irresponsible Element and Result in Serious Race Riots, Seattle, Wash., Sept. 1'—Japanese Consul Shimadzu has appealed to Chief of Police Wappenstern to pre- vent the Exclusion league from hold- ing any kind of a demonstration that might lead to inciting an irresponsible clement and causing race riots in Se- attle. A similar demand upon the po- lice chief has been made by some of the newspapers and Chief Wappen- stern assured the Japanese consul that whatever happened he would guarantee that the Asiatic quarters are not invaded by a mob. The Japanese consul declared that his countrymen are not arming themselves to resist an attack and he insisted the Japa- nese would do nothing to incite trou- ble and relled wholly on the police for their protection. Efforts of the Exclusion league to compel the chief of police to disarm the Japanese and Chinese will not have any effect upon the officials. They will pay no more attention to storage of arms in for- elgners’ homes than they will in Amer- fcan homes, but they Wil arrest any person, native or foreign, who is found to be carrying a gun. AROUSES INDIGNATION. Hammond (Ind.) Man Advertises Un- born Babe for Adoption. Chicago, Sept. 13.—A dispatch to the Record-Herald from Hammond, Ind,, says: Lucas Campbell, a pressman at the ‘W. B. Conkey publishing plant with a salary of $100 a month, by offering to give away his unborn baby because it would be too expensive to keep, has aroused indignation among his neighbors. So pronounced has been the displeasure of the Hammond mothers and fathers that Campbell and his wife are preparing to move elsewhere. Campbell's conviction that a baby is a burden too great to be supported out of his salary was disclosed by the following advertisement which appeared recently in a Hammond newspaper: “For Adoption—Any one desiring to adopt a pure baby can do so by pay- ing all expenses. All arrangements must be made at once. Call at 361 South Hohman street.” NEWSPAPER PLANT RUINED Dynamite Wrecks Office of Joplin (Mo.) News-Herald.

No one wag in the building when the explo- slon occurred. Three sticks of dynamite exploded beneath the press and two sticks of the explosive destroyed the typeset- ting machines. Four sticks did not explode. USING MAILS TO DEFRAUD Two Women Accused of Matrimonial Swindles. ‘Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 1.—Mrs. Viola Lawrence and her mother, Mrs, Gar- nett Meschoock, have been given into the custody of an Ohio officer to be returned for trial on the charge of using the mails to defraud. Mrs. Law- rence was arrested in Lincoln upon the application of her husband, who married her in Ohio several months ago, after paying $600 cash bail to secure the freedom of herself and mother from jail. He had become acquainted with her through an ad- vertisement. The federal authorities have charged Mrs. Lawrence with de- frauding men who want to marry through the mails. Minister Outwits Swindler. Fremont, Neb., Sept. 1l—Rev. W. H. Frost, rector of St. James’ Episco- pal church, outwitted David B. Rich- Ardson, alleged to be a clever swin- dler, and handed him over to the po- lice.

Butte Copper Mines Will Lay Off Five Thousand Man, Butte, Mont., Sept. 1!.—As the re- sult of overproduction of copper and o temporary lull in the demand for the red metal orders have been issued bY which the output of the Amalga- mated properties will be reduced to about 40 per cent of the normal pro- duction, or from 20,000,000 pounds to about 7,000,000 pounds per month, and Ia the future no work will be done on Sundays. Curtailing the pro- duction to 40 per cent of the normal will mean a reduction in the working forces that will throw about 5,000 men out of employment. When the mines will resume with full forces is prob- lematical. The Diamond mine will be closed and work at the Belmont will be com- pletely suspended. The Gagnon and Parrot mines also are shut down. John Gillie, general superintendent of the Amalgamated properties, acting under Managing Director John G. Ryan, stated that there would be no general shutdown at the present time. “For some time,” said Mr. Gillie, “a gradual curtailment of the copper production has been going on. We shall cease all construction work. The shutdown of the mines will avert a fuel famine this winter. Reducing the output of the Amalgamated prop- erties will have a farreaching effect. With less tonnage to Great Falls and Anaconda it will be necessary to shut down portions of the smelters in those cities, thus throwing out of employ- ment a couple of thousand men.” TAX. CLERK ADMITS THEFTS Says He Gave $90,000 of His Stealings to Negress. New Orleans, Sept. 16.—The amount of State Tax Clerk Charles E. Letten’s defalcation has been fixed at $118,- 000. The examination of his books is not yet completed, but the experts doing this work said they do not ex- pect to find any larger shortages. Two desperate attempts at suicide were made during the day by Vir- ginia Reed, the negress to whom Let- ten says he gave the greater part of the stolen money. Dressed in silks she jumped into Bayou St. John, a creek in the city, but was pulled out by a negro boatman after she had be- come unconscious. She was revived by being rolled over a barrel. After regaining consciousness she broke away from her rescuers, threw herself flat in a shallow pool and held her head under the water until again dragged out. Leiten went before a grand jury and confessed to his defalcation. He also issued a written statement about the Reed woman in which he said he gave her $90,000 between January, 1903, and the present month. He of- fered no explanation for this. INDICTMENTS NOLLED.

OUTSPOKEN IN HIS OPINION Declares Members of Committee on Naval Affairs Who Obtain Appro- priations to Provide Jobs for Con- stituents Are Guilty of Criminal Act. ‘Waterbury, Conn., Sept. 1)—Repre- sentative George L. Lilley, member of the house naval affairs committee, Who has been criticised because of his outspoken attitude on Charleston harbor, has written an open letter in Which he says: “If I had the supreme lawmaking power in this country the only crime punishable with death would be that of grafting. Murder would receive secondary consideration. “Any man who sits as a member of the committce on naval affairs and uses his efforts to obtain an appro- priation for some tumbledown navy- vard in his district to the end that he may provide well paid jobs for his constituents is grafting. Not a single dollar may touch his hands, but just the same he is grafting—grafting out of the United States government, which he is paid to serve and sworn to serve.” STEAL INDIAN LANDS. Scheme of “Fake” Enumerators. ‘Washington, Sept. 1l.—Information of wholesale frauds perpetrated on the Indians of the Indian Territory by grafters who pretend to be census enumerators has reached the Indian bureau. Steps have already been taken to check the fraud and inspee- tors have been detailed to round up the swindlers. ‘When President Roosevelt recently ordered a census taken of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory the grafters evolved a new scheme to rob the In- dians of their lands. They would go out among the most ignorant classes of Indians and pretend to be census enumerators. After asking a lot of questions they would throw down a paper in front of the Indian-and tell him to sign it. If the Indian refused the grafter would point out a section under the general census law showing that the Indian was subject to a fine of $100 for refusal to give enumerators the information which they sought, It transpires that the papers which the grafters forced the Indians to sign were deeds to their lands and called for a nominal price only for it. Some of the grafters are already trying to enforce the contracts. FRAUD IS ALLEGED. Receiver Appointed for Visible Type- writer Company.
