THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1895 11 ORIENTAL COMPETITION, Measures to Meet a Threatened Invasion of Cheap Asiatic Labor. COOLIES OR THEIR PRODUCTS? Manufacturers and Producers and Labor Commission In- terested. The importation of Japanese manufac- tured goods and its effects upon home in- dustiries are now agitating the Manufac- nd Producers’ Association and the r Commission. Diverse opinions are iined upon the subject. All agree, however, upon one thing, and that is the American laborer should be protected nst a reduction of wages that would necessitate a mode of life not in keeping with a free and independent people. This afternoon the Manufacturers 1 Producers anticipate quite a lively z, when they shall discuss the Jap- 1vasion and devise some method of aling with the problem that is confront- ng the producers on this coast. Julian g of the Giant Powder Company, chairman of the committee, will report on sion what course is deemed ad- inese seen yesterday he said that the tee had not yet outlined 1ts course, hat he thought it probable that the result in Congress being "‘l, 10 appoint a committee to inquire ) Japanese importation to see if it is imental to home interests. es Sproule of the Sunset Seed Com- ny, another member of the committee, d that he recognized Japan asa con- sumer of American goods and would not on that account be in favor of unlimited ive measures. “I do not believe, h.in allowi thing that tends to American wages, and I think that n cught to be passed to 2 of cost for the imported 1 home-made article, and where that is I do not think the home product ffer.

Com- ner Fitzgerald thinks that the im- n ot Japanese goods is the lesser evil when compared with Japanese coolie migration. He say: at little Japan, its population of 50,000,000 people, a surplus of cheap labor that it cannot employ, while 1t can keep its manufacturers work, and_that if the importation of avanese-made goods were restricted by duty or otherwise the immigration kap Japanese labor could mot be a wanese wouid come here,” continued ymmissioner, “and make the goods or even lower wages than they re- n their native country, for their de- r education and the opportunities of ence in America would make them to work for less than what they n Japan—from 50 cents to nth.

This is a feature on of udice is sct end of & memorial to Congress. The popu- lation of Indie is estimated at 240,000,000, and it is awakening to modern conditions.

Who and where are the persons that ad- vanced funds for an_extensive and systematic introduction ot coolie labor? The imprison- ment of an Asiatic whose time does not count for much will not tend 1o break up the system if the financial backers of it are outof reach. It would besound policy for the combine saviugs bank depositors of California to sce ‘hat none of their money wes loaned to any sndholder employing Jjapanese or Chinese labor, for & vast amount of the loans made by savings banks are from the savings of whirte people not themselves land-owuers.

Expects to Make Her Perilous Passage in a Barrel Dropped by a Balloon. Miss Millie Viola, a pretty and vivacious voung American, who was formerly an actress, but who has now turned aeronaut, is in the City en route for the East. She arrived on the last Australian steamer, and, being a globe-trotting young woman in search of a new experience, she is on her way to attempt in a barrel the danger- ous passage of the falls and whirlpool of gara. And in order to add to her sen- sations she has made arrangements to be dropped, barrel and all, into the river from | a balloon. As the attempt on the great cataract cannot, however, be made till the Miss. Viola, the Actress Who Will Swim Niagara. ice melts in the spring, Miss Viola is now resting after her long sea voyage and will finish her journey to Niagara by easy stages. “I have been just crazy to go over the falis,” said Miss Viola, last night, “ever | since I heard four years ago that that man | Graham nad done it. He was knocked senseless, you know, and otherwise in- jured, and I almost hoped he would die, so that I might be the first to do it success- But I'll be the first woman to do it, y, and I'm going to bet every cent T've got that I don’t get hurt a bit.. You don’t think betting is wrong, do you? “Yes, four years is a long time to wait for the chance, but until now something always prevented. We had engagements | abead for balloon ascensions, and then, too, I wanted to see everything, since I have had enough of the colonies and want to stay in America for the resi of my life. ‘Peculiar! “Yes, indeed, the colonies are peculiar. Take New Zealand, for instance. There | the women all w bloomers and your | hotel closes at 10 o’ciock and 1f you are out after that hour you must stay out all night. Their laws are such, too, that if one does anything that attractsa crowd one is | arrested and iined. We, my sister and I, | made several ascensions there. One time | she came down among the Maoris. They | thought her the angel from heaven which, | they say, will come to help them drive the | British from their land and_they hurried | her away into the interior. We had to get | the mounted police and call out the volun- | teers before we could get her back. | “On the way to this country we stopped | at the Solomon Islands, where the can- nibals are. There we had to wear thick | veils, becanse the natives are very anxious to possess a pakeha wahena (beautiful white woman), and will go to any lengths | to secure one. I made one ascent there, coming down on the roof of a house, | wh gave way and let me through. Shail 1 ‘make any ascents here? I | ratber think not, though I may if things | zet too dull. I hearthere is to be a balloon race here soon, and, if so, I may challenge the winner.” Major Clemens, who is arranging for the | Niagara event, states that Miss Viola will | be suspended by gutta-percha bands in the | center of a huge cask and this will be 1‘ weighted at_one end that she may make the journey in an upright position. Rob- ert Earlston, the aeronaut, who safely landed the captive balloon which broke loose from the World’s Fair grounds at Chicago, is with Miss Viola and will have charge of the balloon from which she will be dropped into the Niagara River. i gl COOKED BY SCHOLARS. Appetizing Dishes Prepared by Harri- son School Pupils. Yesterday afternoon Miss L. McElroy, principal of Harrison Primary School, and the teachérs gave a luncheon to some of the members of the Board of Education and School Department officials. The lunch was cooked and served by ten girls from the South Cosmopolitan School who have been for the past year receiving instruc- tion in cooking at the Harrison ery Center under the instruction of Miss Kate E. Whitaker. ‘ The whole affair was a brilliant success, the dishes well cooked and the service ef- fective. The guests were in a happy mood and passed many encomiumson the lunch. The menu was: Bisque soup; crisped crackers; chicken fricassee with force- meat balis; whole wheat muffins; biscuits; mashed potatoes; Brussels sprouts; Christ- mas plum pndding; lemon sauce; cocoa- nut cakes; coffee; tea. Among those present were Dr. Clinton, Murdock, M. Babcock, C.”B. Stone, Professor Herbst. e ‘| made a slight mistake over the last hurdle In the fourteenth century 60,000,000 peo- ple died of the black plague in Europe and Asia. | CRODKED RACINGWON'T G0 The Judges Declared Bets Off on a Hurdle-Race at Ingleside. TWO JOCKEYS = SUSPENDED. If J 0 C and Three Forks Were} “Meant” They Did Not Demon- | state the Fact, The Pacific Coast Jockey Club will not tolerate jobbery on its course at Ingleside. This fact was forcibly demonstratea yes- terday. Steeplechasing and hurdle racing | is very popular with the spectators, and | realizing this fact, the club intends to give the ‘‘leppers” ample opportunity to win some of its fat purses, but the rank jobs | that have gone through in the past will not be connived at. The last race on the card yesterday was a mile and a sixteenth ¢ver four hurdles. There were eight entries, with the Elk- horn stable’s fine jumper J O € an 11 to 10 favorite at post time, backed down from 2 to 1. Three Forks was a mildly backed second choice, with all the others rank out- siders. ‘When the flag fell W. Clancy on Mor- gan Gat10 to 1 in the betting took his | horse out in front, and never very hard pressed won easily from Bedford, a6to1 chance, by four lengths, with Rob Roy a good third. At the first jump Gold Dust stumbled and swerving ‘into Cicero both horses fell. Johnson on J O C kept his | mount back in the bunch until the stretch | was reached, when he came strong and would certainly have finished second, but and partiallv unseated his rider. After seesawing on the horse’s neck Johnson finally alighted feet first on the ground. Goodman could not or would not extract | any speed from Three Forks, never being | prominent. | The race had a dusty look about it to the | officials in the stand, and after weighing | the facts, they declared all bets off amid lusty cheering from the crowd that gath- | ered around the stand. Johnson and | Goodman, the riders respectively of the | first cho and Three Forks, had their | badges taken up and were ordered off the | grounds. Entries from the Elkton stable | in whose colors J O C runs, and the Ari- | | six furlongs. zona stable in whose silk Three Forks sports, will be refused in future pending a farther investization. Outside of this one unpieasant feature the racing was good. The track is drying | fast, but is still too heavy forany fast time. The attendance was good, and as three of the first choices won the bookies did not have much the best of it. The talent all seemed to think Alvero a good thing for the maiden two-year-old race, angd heavily backed at 7 to 10 he won in a drive from Hazard, who made all the running - through superior riding on Chorn’s part. The Corrigan entry Repeater was backed down from fours to 9 to 5, but could finish no better than fourth in the second race at Ricardo, overlooked at 5 to 1in the ring, showed plenty of speed to the wire, and passing Schnitz the last few yards won by half a length, with Rico in the show. The betting on the next race, also at six furlongs, favored none of the entries in particular, Remus and Realization both closing at threes, with more lengthened prices against the others. Passing Real- ization, who led almost to the stretch, Remus won easily by three lengths. Bergen brought E. H. Shirley up and nipped the place from Realization the last few jumps. ; With Hymn, Olive and George Miller scratched, “the fourth event, also a six- furlong spin, looked a cinch for Louis Fzell’s” speedy mare, Babe Murphy. The money did not go into the books ‘on her until ‘the odds reached 8 to 5, when she was hammered down 106 to 5. Breaking first at the start, she led all the way an won with ridiculous ease by four lengths. Gallant took the place from Chartreuse in a drive. Track and Paddock Items, “Squeak” Allmark, who had the mount on Cicero in the hurdle race, had his shoulder dislocated when that horse was thrown by Gold Dust. Aniong a party of eight that arrived from the East last evening and registered at the Palace Hotel was George E. Smith (Pittsburg Phil), the noted plunger. Mr. Smith is accompanied by his mother, who pays California a visit for the first time. Sam Wulford, a well-known Eastern form player, journeyed west with the plunger. Sam Doggett, one of the crack riders of the country, who is to do the riding for Mr. Smith’s stable, is due to arrive to-day. Frank Van Ness, the owner of the jumper J O C, stated last evening at the alace Hotel in a conversation with some turfmen that he had a bet down on his horse, and that he gave Johnson orders to go to the front, as it was a short race, and he did not want to take any chances. Either the horse was not himself, or_the rider did not want to carry out the orders, Mat Byrnes, trainer for the Montana millionaire turfman, Marcus Daly, will arrive at Ingleside track this mornin, with a string of fourteen racers that wil carry the colors of the “‘copper ring.”’ Bal- “THE CALL” RACING CHART. ‘en T Ingleside Track, San Francisco, Monday, D¢ th Day of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club Meeting.

Bob Smith, who was here some two years back with the black horse Cyclone, that won several races at the Bay District track, rode Senator Bland in the opening race yesterday. Bob is now in the em- ploy of Marcus Daly, and at the termina tion of a race in the East during the past summer, when he put up a highly credita- ble finish on imp. Bathampton, caused the Eastern press to inquire, “Who is Bob Smith?” His English style of riding even caused some of the Eastern turf writers to surmise that he was a ruled-off Newmarket jockey that was riding in this country under an alias. R Riley Grannan backed Patriot, who pulled up lame in the second race and also caused the tumble in the odds against E. H. Shirley in the following race. Jerry Chorn’s enforced rest on the ground was not without its effect. He rode with something like his accustomed vigor on Alvero, the Santa Anita young- ster. Mamie Scott received substantial sup- port to win the third race, and, at the weight, looked to have a royal chance, but she made a very shabby showingz. It could hardly be said she was outclassed, for the mare has traveled in faster company than that of yesterday. M. F.Tarpey, quite an extensive breeder of the thoroughbred, attended the runs yesterday. Mr. Tarpey did not overlook to have a bet both ways on Gallant, who was raised by that gentleman. The well- known horseman says that _he has some weanlings at his farm by imp. Islington, own brother to Englaud’s great racehorse, Isinglass, that, -judging by their appear- ance, will be able to hold their own in any company when chey face the flag. A year- ling by Flambeau from Not Idle also promises to develop into a great racehorse. A DUCK-HUNTER'S PERIL By Good Swimming Charles Dietz Saved Himself a Trip to Jordan. The Sportsman Had Either to Strike for His Boat or Get Stuck in the Mud. The Mallard Club and its friends en- joyed gooa shooting last Sunday on the Suisun marshes. Lloyd Eaton, one ot the prominent members of the club, who had been enjoined by the Teal-Cordelia Club from trespassing or their preserve, said that the pleasure of the first day’s duck- shooting subsequent to the decision ren- dered by Judge Buckles was very near be- ing destroyed by an accident which befell Charles Dietz, the popular “Bill Nye" of the club, who by a stroke of good-luck saved himseif from drowning. Mr. Dietz gave the following 1nteresting account of his duck-nunting experience on Saturday night last: After leaving some of my friends at the ark, Ideparted in the company of & man named Jersey for a station known as the Drawbridge. where we expected the arrival of some more of the bovs later on. I rowed down in my hunt. ing skiff with the outgoing tide, and Jersey, who was in charge of the provision boat, lowed soon afterward. The iide was running out fast and strong, and, as my boat struck hard against the land. ing, T made an attempt to grasp a pole which I ihought was within easy reach, but, like will o’ the wisp, was further away from me than I expected. Well, the result of my mistake was an in- voluntary bath. Iwent down head first and came up in the same position, but my boat lamp, which 1 had lighted, was out and the boat had drifted with the current. I was be- wildered and my only hope, as [ thought, was to recover the skiff. I was atraid that by swim- ming for the shore I would stick in the soft mud and go down and out. You, possibly, can imagine my predicament with rubber boots on and also tolerably heavy clothing. Well, any- how, I struck out for ihe boat,and Ican as- sure you it was the hardest work of my life to reaeh it. In the struggle I went under water three times, as my boots were fast becoming 1ull and dragging me down., In the last few yards beforé I got my fingers on the boat, all kinds of things shot ttrough my mind. I was completely exhausted and every iuch ] gained seemed to me a mile. But 1got there finally with both hands, and no oc- topus that ever existed could have held a tighter grip than did old Bill Nye when he got his fingers on the last straw. My feeble shouts for help were heard by | Jersey, who had already made a landing and was wondering where on earth I had taken wings to. Well, to make a long story short, I was rescued and relieved of abont two gallons of overflowed marsh-land water. Altogether my escape from & watery grave was almost miracu- lous under the existing circumstances. Mr. Dietz is an excellent swimmer, and had it not been for thisacquirement he would certainly not be in the land of the living to-day. NEW TO-DAY. /A ‘ b Cupid and Psyche.
