14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 4 1897 THE POWER OF JAPAN INCREASING One Hundred Thousand Men Could Be Landed in Hawaii. OPINIOX OF EX-MINISTER DUN. The Japanese Do Not Desire a Conflict With the United States. DUE FROM INDEXNITY HAWAIL Annexation of the Islands Would Not Be Forcibly Resisted by England or Japan. Edwin Dun, ex-United States Minister | | defenaant by his testimony, shown to be to Japan, arrived from the Orient on the steamer Belgic yesterdav. Mr. Dun is en route to his home in Ohio, accompanied by his danghter. He has lived in Japan neerly all the time since 1874, and many years have been passed in the diplomatic service. He was secretary of the Ameri- can legatic Japan when John K. Swift was United States Minister to that country, when Frank L. Coombs was Minister. Mr. Coombs and Mr. Dun bad a pleasant i rview vesterday at the Palace Hotel, where the latter is stopping. On theyovage from Yokohama to this port Mr. Dun tarried several hours at Hono and had a pleasant visit with United States Minister Harold Sewall In a conversation with a CALL reporter at in lul the Palace Hotel last evening, Mr. Dun spoke of affairs in the Orient, and dwelt at some length on the de velopment o Japan and the decay of China. In his judgment the career of China as one of d also filled the same position | CHIEF LEES REPOR. the nations ot the worid is practically closed, yet he comprehends that the| Chinese are a great people in many re- spects. He realizes that the band of Rus- is powerful in the Orient, and that it ion of time when Russia will occupy N hern China and hold tbe country as she pleases. Speaking of Japan, Mr. Dun said: “The Japanese have dismissed the idea of ex- ter and the whole thought is the develop- ment of home resources. The strength of Russia is recognized, and while Japan muy not be pleased with the 1dea of Rus- sian advancement in Korea and the con- cessions which Russia has obtsined in China, the policy of Japan is one of non- “The Russian empire has ined from China the right to ict a railroaa across Chinese terri- tory to a point on the Gulf of Pechiii, where open-water facilities may be had.

The policy of Russia is fixed anda unchange- abl Her plans are foreshadowed and she can wait if necessary. She can waita year or fiity years, but the plan of exten- sion undergoes no chanze. The policy of Russ understood in the Orient, and there is no power sirongenough to resistit. “Japan is building a strong navy,” said Mr. Dun. ne strength of her navy in everything that represents the best of modern equipment and armament is re- markable. e is -etting the best of mod- ern warships, and many of them. She now has a larger force of men trained for the naval servic: than the United States can muster. The idea that men must be educated to handle the new ships is fully appreciated. The best and brightest young men of the country are being tanght for this duty, and the training is first class in every way. “l cannot imagine any complication over Hawaiian =affairs possible that could embroil the Unfied States and Japan in serious trouble. The policy of the Japa- nese Government is one of friendship for the United States. Itisin line with the Japanese policy of national development. The opposition to the administration is quite as strong in that country as in the United States, and it is from the opposi- tion that the sentiment of hostility to this country emanates. The purposeis to cud- gel the aaministration into doing some- thing that it has resolved nottodo. The ruling autborities in Japan have no thought of provoking a war with the United States, and it is a mistake to fancy that the people of Japan desire a war with this country. The enemies of the present administraiion may be seeking to stir up strife, but that does not influence the peo- ple. “Japan is sufficientlv powerful,” said Mr. Dun, *“‘to land 100,000 men in Hawaii, and could perhaps hold theislands against all force that could be brouehtto bear within six months, but the Government fully comprehends the resources ana power of the United States. Japan knows that the islands could not be held against the force which this country could intro- duce. I am sure that Japan would offer no armed resisiance to the annexation of Hawaii. Sbe does not want the islands herself, as her policy is opposed to the acquisition of foreign territory. In my judement Japan has just claims for in- demnity aguinst the Hawaiian Govern- ment for the refusal of the Hawaiian authorities to observe the conditions of contract regarding the admission of Japanese laborers. If that question has been submitted to arbitration it will no doubt secure an amicable settilement. “I do not see how England could make any objection to the annexation of the islands by the United States. I fancy that she would notintertere if American troops should Jand to estabiish a protectorate pending annexation. England’s policy is one of annexat on and acquisition. She is constantly exiending ler dominions and taking whatever she wants. Why the people of the United States should be un- easy lest Engiand should take the islands is what I cannot understand, as the Eng- lish have a vast extent of country on this continent adjacent to our territory, and are fortifying their possessions. I do not see any particular advantage that the United States can gain by annexing the jslands. We might establish a protectorate and prevent any other country from as- suming control. If we annex the islands we must take the Japanese, Portuguese and Chinese already there. We could not recognize their labor contracts, as that would be contrary to our laws, and we could not prevent these laborers from go- ing from one part of the country to an- other. The laborers who are there now working for 30 cents a day would soon de- mand $1 a day or more and get it. If the United States intends to inaugurate a licy of extension Cuba as well as awaii should be acquired, and the first co ding their dominion to the maainland, | business in hand should be the building and manning of a navy to hold our pos- sessions in the ocean.” ~ Mr Dan was in Houoluiu only a few hours and did not have an opportunity to see President Dole. There was no alarm or excitement in Honolulu while Mr. Dun was there, and Minister Sewall did not anticipate trouble of any kind. 2 Mr. Dun expects to leave the City this evening for the East. He remarked last night that he regarded his diplomatic ca- reer as closed, as he did rot desire further service abroad. He recognizes that it would be a piece of National folly to hoist the flag in Hawaii again and then pull it down. If the flaggoes up now the United States must hola 11 there. He did not re- rd the presence of warships in Ha- waiian waters as significant of hostility toward ths United State ROTHCHILD TESTIFIES. The Prosecution Will To-Day Take Up the Murder Charge Against Figel. As far as they could go, the prosecution in the Theodore A. Figel embezziement examination yesterday submitted their side of the controversy. General Barnes, for the defense, ad- hered to his already expressed intention to produce no testimony for the defense any further than that which could be ob- tained upon cross-examination at this time. As a consequence, ex-Judge Murphy, who conducted the prosecution yesterday instead of Attorney Ach, was able to pre- sent some eight embezzlement cases and two for forgery, all of wiich now only re- main to be argued aiter the charge of mur- aer has been heard. The testimony in the embezzlement and forgery cases is depended upon to sup- port the murder charge. The testimony yesterdsy was given prin- cipally by Edward 8. Rothchild, who has been on the witness-stand before. The cross-examination brought out that he did not know whether or not Isaac Hoffman had ever given Figel authority to sign the firm’s name to drafts or checks. This shows why it is tbe defense has persistently brought up the Alonzo White- man case of forgery, tried in N»w York, and in which Writing Expert Ames, for the prosecution, virtually acquitted the entirely at variance with facts. Expert Ames is to be heard on cross-ex- amination to-day, and the testimony given by him in the Whiteman case wiil very likely take up much of the time. The prosecution announced at the time of adjournment that the murder case would be taken up to-day. Suggestions as to the Improve- ments That Are Greatly Needed. The New Head of the Department Eulogizes the One That Hag Retired. Chiet of Police Lees has filed his annual report with the Board of Supervisors, showing the work done by the department under his supervision during the past twelve months. After detailing the -number of arrests made, with the causes of the same and tue amount paid into the city treasury in fines, the Chief makes suggestions re- garling the improvement of tne depart- ment as follows: The history of the police departments in other cities, and particularly in the larger and more progressive Eastern cities, fully jus- tifies the position which 1 am assuming in this matter. In these cities the police stations are city property and are fitied up in a sub- stantial and adequate mauner to accommo- date sll offi in the district in which the station is located, thus giving the force a place of rendezvous, where they can be concentrated in cases of riot or popular out- breaks. It is my duty to remind you that ultimately it is the taxpayers who are obliged to make good losses resulting from the con- duct of riotous mobs, and I urge seriously upon your mo-t careful attention the proposi- tion that the reasonable precautionary meas- ures here sugeested for the adequats equip- ment of this department would be a very chesp insurance against the heavy losses which may be incurred by neglecting to ke that care of the public interests which any reasonable person would take in the manage- ment of his private affairs. 3 As soon as possible four patrol-wagons should be constructed for the double purpose not only of replacing those worn out by long service but also to increase the efficiency of the department by providing these wagons for outlying districts. There shouid be established a police station > vicinity of Steiner and Union or Green- treeis, because that district, owing to the topography of thut part of the City, the pleasure resoris at Seaside Gardens, Harbor View Park, the Pr 1o, Fulton Iron Works, gas works, lumber-yards, etc, and the isola- Tion from the main lines of street railways, re- quires special poiice protection. 1 recommend that & police station should be established in the vicinity of the Golden Gate Park, but 80 situated as 10 command tne park and Ashbury Heights ana Richmond districts. The establishment of such a station is fast be- coming & matter of necessity, owing to the inrge increase, both in building and in popu- lation, in the district mentioned. The 'increase during tue last year of the mounted pAtrot for duty in the outlying dis- tricts has demonstrated the vaiue and neces- sity of this branch of the service, a branch which is highly commended by the residents of these districts. I would recommend a fur- ther increase of this patrol, and that horses and necessary equipments should be supplied for that purpose. Regarding Chief Crowley’s retirement, Chief Lees s: : “Chief Crowley hasleft the Police Department, but he has left be- hind him in the department a record that any man might justly envy. For faithful- ness in the discharge of his duty, for sin- gleness and sincerity of purpose seldom found among men, for steadfast friendship and kindness of heart, Chief Crowley stands pre-eminent among the men who bave made history in this municipality; and while, in common with the other members of this department, I regretted his retirement, still that regret was tem- perec by the knowledge t at he was about to enjoy the rest and release from official care, toil and responsibility to which he was jnstly entitled.’” e . A STRANGER ROBBED. Edward Gallagher of Healdsburg Re- lieved of About $260. Edward Gallagher, a laborer on the 8an Francisco and North Pacific Coast Rail- road, living in Healdsburg, came to the City Monday with $:60 in his pockets. Shortly before 2 o’clock yesterday morn- ing he was found sitting on tne steps of a house on Hariison street in an intoxicated condition. His trousers were cut open at the top of the right leg, where he kept his money, and be toid the officer some one had roobed him of it all except 75 cents. He could not recollect with whom he bad been drinking and he was sent io Captain Spillane, to whom he reported the story of being rcbb-d. The captain ordered him to be locked up for being drunk, to keep him out of harm’s way, and detailed two officers to make a thorough investigation into the robbery. e CAPTAIN LE BALLISTFR DEAD. He Was an Old Sea Captiin and a Na- tive of the State of Maine. Captain James E. Le Ballister died at 12:25 o’clock yesterday morning at his residence, 443 McAllister street. Dr. ._!ercmg Anderson, who had been attend- ing him, certified to the Coroner that death had been caused by inflammation of the stomach. The doctor thought the Coroner s: ould be notified because the decensed had attempted suicide about three months ago by inhaling chloroform. This, however, had nothing to do with the cause of death. ‘The deceased was 63 years old and a native of Malne, d 1RED AT A TRIO OF BOY3 Policeman A, C.

Vallejo, NO INTEREST ON ITS LOANS A Jewish Benevolent Society on a Novel Financial Plan. Money Let Out to Worthy Israel- ites to Be Repaid in Installments. Some Friend Must Give His Security on the Note Before the Loan Is Made. A novel benevolent society has just been organized in this City. It will make small loans to persons other than its members and will not charge them any interest. It is a Jewish society and its ministra- tions are contined to the chosen people 49 | THE SHOOTING. aiternoon by three burglars. Mrs. Vallejo and children are in the country, and there is no one in the houseduring the daytime. The wire door in the rear and the kitchen door in front of it had both been forced open by cutting a hole near the luck, and a door in an outhouse had been forced open in the same manner. Two men who were working in the vi- cinity saw the boys forcing an entrance to the house and notified Policeman Dodge. Before Dodge had reached the house the boys had become alarmed and taken their departure without carrying away any burglar. Dodge made an investigation and was joined by Winzler. They consultad to- gether and it was decided that Winzler should remain at the house till Vallejo, who is a salesman, returned in the even- ing. EVhils there Winzler was told by seme other boys that three boys, who were standing not far away peering up at the house, were the burglars. He immedi- ately decided to capture them, and went into the house, takin: off his coat, vest and hemlet and dorning a coat, vest and hat belonging to Vallejo. The three boys had walked on, and, as | Winzler emerged from the nouse 1n civilian attire, he saw them about a couple of blocks away. He jumped into an ex- press wason and tollowed them. As he neared them they turned round, and, evidently recognizing him, started to run. Winzler jumped out of the wagon and pursued them, He called upon them Chevra Gemilus Hasodim is the name of the organization, and its founder is M. J. Cohn, a well-to-do grocer in this City. D. D. Lande of 44414 Clementina street ex- plained its objects last evening. *“The society was,organized on the 20th of July of this year, for the purpose of assisting worthy Israelites with loans without interest,” said Mr. Lande. “We number at present abont fiftv members, but we ought to have 200 or 300 before we can do what we want. Each member contributes 25 cents per month, which is placed into a fund, and when we have a sufficient sum of mo:ney we will loan it out to worthy Israelites in $5 and $10 amounts. *The borrower need not be a member of the society. He must give a note for the amount and must get some responsible verson to go security for the payment of it. Then the borrower pays it back at the rate of §1 per week without interest. This will be a great help to poor Israelites, and we expect that the society will receive many additions as soon as its benevolent objects shall become more generally known.”” Meetings will be held every third Sun- day in the synagogue of the Congregation Nevah Zedek. The officers of the society are: President, M. J. Cohn; vice-presi- dent, A. M. Jacobs; secretary, D. Lande; treasurer, S. Lichtenstein; honorable trustee, Charles He-s; trustees—I.

A somewhat similar organization exists CHARLES FRANZ, the Boy Who Was Shot by a Policeman. to stop, but they kept on running, and he pulled out his revolver and fired two shots in the air to intimidate them. This had no effect, so Winzler iowered his weapon and taking deliberate aim at the legs of one of the fleeing boys fired. ‘With a yell the boy threw up his hands and fell forward on his face. Another of the trio, when he saw his companion fall, stopped suddenly, but the third continued his flight and made his escape. The boy who was shot is Thomas Franz. 17 years of age, who lives with his father, a gardener, at 541 Valencia street. The bullet struck him in the right lep, pene- trating the bone and lodging there. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where Dr. Thompson attended to him. The other boy, whose name is Frank ‘Waish, 18 years of age, was taken to the Seventeenth-street station and later to the City Prison. The boy who escaped is the smallest and youngest of the trio. His name is Kirby, and he was arrested some months ago for raising a false alarm of fire at one of the public schools from which he had been expelled, for the fun of secing the scholars and teachers running out. Both Franz and Walsh deny that they committed the burglary at the Vallejo residence, and the two men who saw the two boys breaking into the house failed to identify them, in Chicago and other Eastern cities, but the beneficiaries must be members, SOOTALIST LABOR PARTY.

PHEIAN IN A DELICATE POSITION. He Will Try to Show the Board the Error of Its Ways—Failing This, the Veto. Yesterday’s developments in the tax- levy muddle placed a whip in the hands of the Mayor, if he chooses to use it, but itisnot an implement that a man w.th aspirations would care to wield. City and County Attorney Creswell sent down an opinion—the one asked by the Board of Superyisors—to the eifect that the Mavor has the power of vetoing the tax levy, under a decision rendered by Judge Seawell and not yet passed upon by the Supreme Court. The opinion 1s as follows: To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors: An opinion is requested bv resoiution No. 16,852, third series, on the power of ihe board to fix the tax levy for the present fiscal year inde- peudent of the uctlon of the Mayor. If the provision of section 6, article XI, of the constitution, ndo{'fled in 1896, excepling charters of municipalities 1rom the control of general iaws in municipal aff.irs, applies to chaiters in existence before the adoption of the present constituticn, the Mayor would not have the Tight to veto the ordinance or resolution fixing the tax levy of the City and County of San Francisco for the present fiscal year, becauso the fixing of & tax levy to raise Tevenues 10T municipal purposes is a mu- nicipai affair, and the act of March 27, 1897, whicn is a general law and confers upon the Mayor the veto power in this municipal affiir, would be in couflict with section 6, ariicie XI, as amended, and therefore void. Judge Seawell, however, in the case of Max Popper vs. Willlam Broderick, held that the exception contained in this amended section of the constitution did not apply to charters of municipalities which were In existence prior to the adoption of the constitution, and that such charters were still subject to and controiled by general law. The cousolidation act of the City and County of San Francisco is such a charter. ‘The case is the only one that I know of in which the exception contained in the amend- ment to section 6, article XI of the constitu- tion was the subject of judicial discussion. The judgment ia this case has not been re- vicwed by the Supreme Couri of the State, and until such review I wiil assume the opinion in that case to Correct.y siale the law, and therefore advise that the charter of San Fran- cisco is subject to and coutrolied by the act o March 27, 1897, and that tae Board of Super- visors eannot fix the municipal tax levy for this fiscal year independent of the action of the Mayor. HARRY T. CRESWELL, Autorney and Counselor. August 3, 1897, This would seem to place the matter in a. condition where the Mayor could block the scheme to saddle an exorbitant tax levy on the property-owners, because it 1s thought impossible tnat the Devany- Haskins combination can secure nine votes to pass the levy over the veto of the chief executive of the City government. But there are complications. The law requires that the Board of Su- pervisors shall, on the third Monday in September, fix a rate of taxation for the ensuing year. The law is plain and clear, they must fix the levy. This being the case the Mayor, shounid he veto the measure, invalidates the entire levy, and the consequence will be an en- tire lack of funds to run the City govern- ment and the bringing of all municipal tunctions to a sudden stop—literally a City without a government. Should he sign the levy, with the roar of indignation from the people in hisears, he will be taking chances that a cour- ageous man would hesitate to face, This is the quandary in which the Mayor finds himself, and he is doing much thinking to find a way out. The board has adjourned until Septem- ber 13 and a week later the levy must be decided upon. The only ray of hope that seems to shine out of the situation to show Mr. Puelan his way is that the board will bring the matter up on September 13, pass upon it and zive him a chance to veto be- foie the date upon which the final deci- sion must be rendered. Should the fixing of the levy be delayed until the last day— well, there is the rub. The Mayor sees no way out of vetoing the proposed levy as it now siands. He objects to it on almost every possible ground and freely states .is objections. “Almost every department could be cut down,’’ he said yesterday, “and while it would entail strict economy it could be done and the pledge the Supervisors gave Kkept. ; “Half of the City offices could be run with far less help than is now employed, and salaries could be cut without the em- ployes suffering to any great extent. Toe pay in City offices, as a general rule, is far higher and the duties far less onerous than in the business houses of this City, and liere is where economy should begin. Then there is the subsistence of prisoners. We pay over 17 cents per prisoner per aay, when there are plenty of responsible contractors who wouid be willing to take the job of furnishing supplies at 8 cents per prisoner, or 10 cents at the outside. ““L shall show these things to the board as clearly as possible, and try to induce it to look at the matter in a reasonable and just light.” **And if it refase to scale down the Dev- any-Haskins schedule?”’ was asked. “Then there is nothing left but to veto it,”” said the Mayor with a far-away look in his eyes.
