The police have been informed that a number of Japanese highbinders are op- erating in the neighborhood of Pine and Dupont streets and efforts will be made to suppress them. It is alleged that the men attempt to levy blackmail on houses in the vicinity and upon being unsuccess- ful make trouble for those who them. It is something unusual for highbinders of this race to organize. Much trouble has been experienced from Chinese of this class, but the Japanese are usually | very orderly. The polic:a now fear that they will have another source of this sort of trouble to cope with and strict in- structions have been given officers to put a stop to the annoyance before it gains heré are about twenty alleged Japa- highbinders and all are reported to rmed. Much trouble has recently been caused in the section, including two or three cutting scrapes, for which ar- rests have been made, According to busi- ness men it is the plan of the lawless ele- ment to visit business houses and restaur- ants, as well as houses of iil-fame and gambling joints, and levy blackmail. The merchants fear the band and in cases where they hdve refused to accede to the demands they have been assaulted. e Federal Civil Service Tests.

Harper, the Methodist divine who is in difficulties with the elders of the Methodist church south, yesterday filed his threatened suit to recover the credentials which he claims are being wrongfully withheld from him. In lieu of the credentials he asks for $10,000, their alleged value. The suit is against Revs | H. C. Morrison, W. Acton, J. E. Moore and W. E. Vaughn, According to Harper's complaint he gave his credentials to Moore on April 3 last, with the understanding that they were to be returned upon demand. On October 12, alleges Harper, he asked Moore for his papers and was told they were in the po on of the other de- and they still keep them, he says, notwithstanding that on October 14 he requested that they be given to him. Harper claims the papers are of great value to him, easily worth $10,00. With- out them, he sa he cannot follow his chosen calling. v were only obtained after years of s he says, and by the expenditure of large sums of money. Th The documents are Harper's credentials | as a deacon of the Methodist Episcopal | church and as an elder of the Methodist church south. —_—— Held for Insanity.
