SEND BIG FLEET TO THE PACIFIC by the council, which virtually makes the City of Philadelphia partner In the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Com pany, a corporation which controls all the streetcar lines in the city. The ordinance was suggested by the He tail Merchants' Association with 'the object of . Increasing the efficiency of the- general streetcar service.

POLITICAL ACTION NEEDED rw TV W fS CRUISERS GO TO ATLANTIC Apparent Preparation for Crisis With Japan Threats of Boycott Grow In Japan Japanese " Pour in Through Mexico. WASHINGTON, July 1. (Special.) President Roosevelt has determined upon an Important change of American naval policy. The new policy embodies these features : 'Transfer of the Atlantic fleet of 16 bat tleships and two armored cruisers to the Pacific. Withdrawal from Asiatic waters to the Pacific Coast of the armored cruiser di vision now In the Far East. Withdrawal to the Atlantic of the pro tected cruisers now comprising the bulk of the Pacific fleet. The long voyage of the battleships to the Pacific cannot be begun within six months and probably the great armada will not get under way until late in the Spring of 1908. HOLDS OFF OX DAMAGE SUITS Japanese Consul Also Investigates Refusal of Licenses. SAN FRANCISCO, July 1. in response to an inquiry, the Japanese Consul to day Informed the Associated Press that no decision has yet been reached as to whether suit shall be brought in the courts to recover in behalf of Japanese resident of San Francisco who suffered loss in the wrecking on May 23 of a Jap anese restaurant and bathhouse on Fol som street by a mob. The matter was de scribed as being at the present time in statu quo. It was said by a representative of the Consul-General that the Consulate Is not awaiting Instructions from Tokio, but is simply delaying action for further con sideration of the Incidents of the attack. It was further said that the Consulate was Investigating the complaint of local Japanese that their race is being dis criminated against by the Board of Po lice Commissioners in refusing to grant them liquor licenses, Intelligence office licenses and licenses for similar munici pal privileges. The reply of the Board Is that It is acting under an ordinance which forbids the Issuance of liquor li censes to any save citizens of this coun try and persons who have declared their Intention of becoming citizens, and in accordance with the rules of the board that the other licenses named shall not be granted to foreigners until American residents have more fully recovered from the business shock of last year's earth quake and fire. The Consulate looks with suspicion on this defense, but wishes to be understood us desirous of Investigating further be fore making any definite recommenda tion to the Tokio government. JAPANESE TALK OF BOYCOTT Feeling Grows Intense Over San Francisco's Action. TOKIO, July 1. The impression Is grow ing here that the anti-Japanese feeling and demonstrations in San Francisco are the outcome of a deeply laid plan based upon racial hatred, and the recent de velopments apparently support this im pression. The newspapers here which had special correspbndents of American na tionality In San Francisco, have ceased to receive news from them. No explanation was offered for the discontinuance of news dispatches, but the impression here is that pressure was brought to bear upon the correspondents in San Francisco not to serve the Japanese papers. The fear is expressed that the danger point will soon be reached. Although war is not dreamed of, the mutual feelings of good- will and friendship will be seriously strained if prompt measures are not taken to allay the general indignation here against the latest discrimination in San Francisco, which, according to Japanese contention, Is a flagrant violation of treaty rights. Apparently certain measures of retali ation are seriously being contemplated toy influential men in politics and diplo matic circles. Just what action will be taken has not yet developed, but a. boy cott against American goods, it is believed will certainly be one of the steps taken. SWARM IX FROM MEXICO Straus Will Evolve Plan to Prevent Japanese Smuggling. WASHINGTON, July l.-For many months the Bureau of Immigration has had Inspectors in Mexico, watching the trend of Japanese immigration. Accord ing to reports received at the Department of Commerce and Labor, it is perfectly evident that hundreds of Japanese labor ers who arrive in Mexico have no In tention of remaining in that country but regard it merely as a stopping place on the way to the United States. It is not believed by the immigration authorities that the Japanese government is a party to such an arrangement, as it has dis couraged emigration to the United States in every possible way. Thousands of Japanese laborers are known to be in Mexico merely awaiting an opportunity to enter the United States. The border Is about 2000 miles long, and as it cannot adequately be covered by the im migration Inspectors, the smuggling of Japanese Into this country is compara tively easy. Efforts now are being made by lmmi . gration authorities to establish a system of inspection by which tt will be made difficult for Japanese or other aliens to get Into the United States, either from Mexico or from British Columbia. It Is not unlikely that Secretary Straus of the Department of Commerce and Labor may evolve some plan on the trip on which he starts today to prevent this smuggling of aliens into the country. Bring Japanese From Honolulu. HONOLULU, July 1. Arrangements are being made to charter steamships, each of which will carry 2000 Japanese from Honolulu to Vancouver, B. C. PARTNER IN ALL CARLINES Franchise in Philadelphia Gives City Share of Profits. PHILADKLFHIA. July 1. Mayor fleyburn signed an ordinance passed GREAT AUTO RACE STARTS Americans Among Leaders Contest ing for French Grand Prize. DIEPPE, July 2, 5 A. M. The day or the grand prix automobile race dawned clear and bright. The roadway dried up nicely during the night and promised to be very fair. Fully 50,000 people lined the track to witness the start. Before coming to the post the drivers of the most powerful machines were doubtful whether they would be able to complete the course with the amount of gasoline allowed them. The betting odds on the Fiat cars lengthened on this ac count. Some of the experts predict that one third of the entries will be stranded on the roadside. Christie, one of the American competi tors, is confident that he -will be able to control his machine and has declared that, if his gasoline holds out, he will show Europe a clean pair of heels. The signal to start was given by six small saluting cannon opposite the Trib une. With the sound of the first report Lancia, In a Fiat car. shot by the stand, the first away. He was sent oft with a roar of applause. The other com petitors followed at minute inter vals. Larraine de Dietrich was fourth, Ziess, driving for the Ren aults. was ninth. Christie, in his Ameri can machine, was twelfth. Nazarro. in an other Fiat, was eighteenth. Heath, an other American, driving a Panhard, was 25th, and Elliott F. Shepard, also an American, was the S2d man to start. Elaborate arrangements have been made for this race and hundreds of thousands of spectators are expected to view the cars as they whirl around the measured course in their struggle to establish new records. There are 38 entries;, and among the drivers are men who have achieved fame in the Important speed contests of the past. The course measures 78 kilometers. 998 meters and the competitors must traverse this circuit ten times, making the total distance something over 769 kilometers, approximately 477 miles. The course fol lows In a general way the boundaries of the Department of the Seine Inferleure. The winner of the race will be named holder of the cup offered by the Automo bile Club of France. Lancla's time for the first round was 41 minutes, 33 seconds. Wagner covered the first round in 39:53 and Duray In 40 minutes. Christie came in at the and of the first round with a clutch Jammed. The most elaborate arrangements will be made to prevent mobs f rominvaiUng the track. Eight thousand soTSTirs will be stationed at 40-foot intervals along the course till the race is finished. The pilots Include practically all the world cracks, among thm being fazar ro, Swisz, Lancia, .Wagner, Jenaetiy, Sougier, Duray and Hemery. In the preliminary trial, Nazarro made the fastest circuit, 42 minutes, while Lan cia and Wagner have done the best work at the curves and have made the fastest spurts. The latter was the fastest at the rate of 160 kilometers per hour. The chances are for the French retaining the cup on account of preponderance of num bers. W. C. Christie's American machine attracts the most attention, but is re garded as something of a freak. Its wonderful speed is acknowledged, but the experts doubt if the constructor will be able to keep it under control. Elliott F. Shepard is considered the most reckless of the pilots. The entire automobile world seems to be gathering here to witness the struggle. The prominent Americans include George J. Gould, Howard K. Burras, Orman L. Johnston and Jef ferson Demon Thompson, chairman of the racing board of the American Au tomobile Association. The last named thinks that if the United States Gov ernment furnished troops as the French government does to protect the course, the Vanderbflt cup race this Fall would be assured. One of the racing cars on its way to take part in the contest was run down by another car at a late hour tonight at a crossroads near Eu, not far from the course. The two occupants of the car were' seriously Injured. The car that caused the collision sped away and the identity of the occupants was not learned. BOTH MUST SHARE LOSS Property - Owner and Contractor Alike Suffer by Earthquake. SAN FRANCISCO, July L Another one of the important legal points developed by the late earthquake was settled today, when Judge Seawell decided that con tractors and property -owners were put on a level by the act of God and neither could recover from the other in cases of misfortune resulting from the quaking earth crust. The court held that both parties must stand equally whatever loss results to buildings under construction the property-owner that portion already erected and the contractor the cost of whatever material he has put into the construction of the job. 2-DAY SPECIALS.

Members Asked to Vote on Sew Pre amble to Constitution Will Ad mit All Workers at Mines to Membership. DENVER. July 1. By a vote of 2S3 to 66 the convention of the Western Federa tion of Miners today adopted a new pre amble to the constitution and by-laws of the Federation, which in effect pledges all the members ta Socialism. It is' the announced intention of the leaders of the Federation to call a convention at Chicago for the organization of an indus trial and political party which will place a ticket in nomination for 'the next Na tional election. The Westefn Federation of Miners and the Brewery Workers' Union, it is expected, will form the nu cleus of the new organization. Before the final adoption, the new pre amble goes to the "local union for a ref erendum vote. Flatfooted for Socialism. The new preamble reads: First We hold that there Is a class struggle in society and that this struggle Is caused by economic conditions. Second We Affirm the economic condi tion of the producer to be that he is ex ploited of the wealth he produces, being al lowed to retain barely sufficient for his necessities. Third We hold that the class struggle will continue until the producer is recog nize as the sole master of his product. Fourth We assert that the working class, and It alone, can and must achieve its own emancipation. Fifth We hold, finally, that an industrial union and the concerted political action of all wage workers is the only method of at taining this end. Sixth Therefore, we the wage slaves em ployed In and around the mines, mills and smelters of the world, have associated In the Western Federation of Miners, Mining Department of the Industrial Workers of the World." The strikes and lockouts committee presented a report which favored con tinuance of the strike in the Cripple Creek district until the mineowners' card system now In vogue there is abolished. The convention adopted the report for continuing the Cripple Creek strike until the card system is abolished. A long discussion ensued as to whether clear ance cards Issued by the Cripple Creek local to probationary members shall be recognized in other locals. The claim was made by delegates 'from Butte. Mont., and Goldfield, Nev., that many present Federation members in Cripple Creek and Tellurlde, Colo., were former strikebreakers. The delegates voted an amendment to the constitution admitting cooks, bar tenders, dishwashers and such clases of laborers as are only- indirectly; connect ed with mining Into the mining depart ment of the Industrial Workers of the World of the Western Federation of Miners. This action was taken after a long debate by a vote. An amendment to the constitution was adopted whereby a two-thirds vote in stead of three-fourths of the members of a local union shall be necessary be fore a strike is decided upon. A feature of tomorrow's session will be the election of officers. GARBAGE STRIKE IS ENDED Drivers Trust to McClellan New York Holds Its Nose. NEW YORK, July 1. The strike of the city garbage collectors Is over and the fear of a serious epidemic as a result of conditions which have existed for the past week are at rest. A committee rep resenting the striking drivers conferred with Mayor McClellan. He promised that. If they would return to work, he would take up their grievances. Later the com mittee announced that it had decided to send all the men back to work, trusting to the Mayor's promise. It was also announced-that the men will work overtime until the accumulation of garbage in the streets has been removed. It is expected that most of the strikers will return to work tomorrow. Police Commissioner Duggan was seri ously Injured by the explosion of what the police believe was a bomb while es corting two carts on One Hundred and Sixteenth street today. The sergeant was blown several feet. He was taken to a hospital suffering from shock and lacera tions. Several of the drivers were badly beaten by strike sympathizers before they could be rescued by the police. On the East Side side-streets tonight conditions are almost unbearable, as' hot weather has added to the seriousness of the situation. In places the heaps of garbage practically fill the streets and traffic is interfered with. Attempts to dispose of accumulations by burning have been largely unsuccessful. But it is not alone the East Side that suffers. The entire city tonight is af fected by odors. The health department is still struggling to make some impres sion on the mountainous heapB of refuse, but, even if the full force returns to work tomorrow, it will require several days of hard work before normal conditions are restored. ICEMEX BECOME RIOTOUS Mob Attacks Strikebreakers, but Is Repelled by Police. NEW YORK, July 1 Police reserves were called to quell several street disor ders today when the American Ice Com pany made an effort to break the strike of the delivery wagon drivers. The company hired several score of strike breakers' and Issued an ultimatum that if the strikers did not return to work to day, the new men would be put In their places. When two wagons, driven by strikebreakers, drove from the compa ny's pier early today a crowd of men set upon the drivers, using clubs and bricks. The police charged the crowd which finally fell back. More trouble oc curred on Avenue C, when a score of men set upon a driver but were beaten off by the police. One hundred and fifty police reserves have been detailed to prevent disorders at the company's pier, where the Ice is discharged from the boats. The Ice Company declares today that the strike is broken and that it can em ploy all the men needed to fill the posi tions of the strikers. The company says there Is no danger of an Ice famine. . Brooklyn agents of the company said that they had sent out about 200 Ice wagons today in place of the 400 usually in service In that borough, some of them manned by old employes and others by strikebreakers. One of the wagons on which the driver was accompanied by a special policeman, was stened by a crowd of 100 persons. The strikebreaker was hit by one of the stones and the policeman attempted -to disperse the crowd but failed and was compelled to retreat to the wagon, which oaa buxiieOly dxiyea .away, The crowd mis .Waists Shirtwaist Suits And Pe WOMEN'S SILK PETTICOATS, of plain or fancy taffeta; tif Of worth to $12.50; special at pJ.J These come in plain colored silks, changeable effects and fancy plaids; made with deep ruffles and fancy tucks or accordion O JT plaiting worth to $12.50; special Long Silk Gloves, Spec' 1 98c r-m & oun Sale On Refrigerators Regular $19.80 Refrigerators at, Regular $22.00 Refrigerators at, Regular $25.00 Refrigerators at, Lawn Mowers Are On Sale 12-inch Lawn Mowers, regular $3.00 value $2.25 14-inch Lawn Mowers, regular $3.25 value. $2.45 16-inch Lawn Mower, regular $3.50 value $2.65 12-inch Lawn Mowers, regular $3.50 value $2.65 14-inch Lawn Mowers, regular $3.75 value $2.80 16-inch Lawn Mowers, regular $4.00 value... $3.00 14-inch Lawn Mowers, regular $5.50 value $4.15 16-inch Lawn Mowers, regular $6.00 value $4.50 18-inch Lawn Mowers, regular $6.50 value $4.90 16-inch Lawn Mowers, regular $9.00 value $6.50 18-inch Lawn Mowers, regular $9.50 value $7.15 16-inch Lawn Mowers, regular $6.00 value...'.
