K RACE WAR IN SACRAMENTO While Fisherman Is Murdered by Japanese and Threats of ctaliatlon Alarm Authorities Serious Clash Expected. SACRAMENTO, Cal., June 10. Rnco feeling which developed Into a serious clash between tho whites am Japanoso nloong this section ot the Sacramento river la running high to day as tho result of tho murder of J. It.

Tho wounded man was carried to a houseboat, where ho has spent many years of his hermit's llfo and where lie died at 9:30 last night. Threats of retaliation by the fish ermen and whites of Walnut Grove have alarmed tho authorities. Troub le has been brewing for some time fcotween tho races. Tho sheriff of Sacramento county Is ready to tako steps at the first Indication of trouble. No arrests have as yet been made In connection with the Gould murder. tlon work," ho Is undoubtedly not' familiar with tho rulings ot all tho j courts In tho United Stales, that It takes a great deal moro than a fow shovels full ot dirt to begin tho con struction ot a railway in order to hold tho franchise, and thnt, It I did not begin tho construction work In a propor manner, I could undor no cir cumstances hope to hold tho fran chise.

Replying further to Mr. Moore's objection as set forth by him in para graphs ono, two, etc., will reply to Ills first objection as follews: The Iranchlso Is a blanket one in a general way, but is not to be used as broad ly as Its reading may sound, although K does specify exactly what shall be Xlven In return. Replying to Mr. Voore's second objection in which he states: "In a general way it pur ports to be a street car franchise, but "fey careful reading it can bo plainly aeen that it is designed to be an in terurban line." Mr. Moore's remarks are misleading and evidently made tor a purpose, because I have always stated both privately and publicly and It has been published in all the news papers of tho Rogue River valley, that the main object of the entire enterprise was an interurban railroad and that .tho franchises granted in towns were In a way of minor impor tance. At the samo time, they were necessary, making the enterprise com plete and one In which the residents of Rogue River valley would be great ly benefited. There Is nothing in tho franchise that would Indicate that I desired to use the streets of Ashland for freight trains and switches and I be lieve every fair-minded resident of your city will grant tho truthfulness of my statement as above. While It la true that we do hope to be able to better the conditions of the or chardlsts and fruitgrowers generally In your section, and while wo may run freight cars at night and during the unimportant business hours along come of the outside and unimportant "" streets, it is not intended to go be ,, yond tho demands of careful business Management, both for ourselves and your citizens, and it is positively cer tain that It Is not intended to use the streets of Ashland for switches upon which to stand cars "in front of any- opo'n door." T do not believe that any business could bo successful where, in a gen eral way, It harmed others. On the other hnnd, my success In life so far lias been duo to helping others and assisting them In every way within my power. Roplylng to your councilman's re Tnark that in section 1 this franchlso Rives tho city council the right to make reasonable regulations concern ing tho carrying of freight, parcels, nail and express, and that this ap pears to be all right, but that there ' Is a wido laUtudo in the moaning of tho word reasonable, and that It often takes a court of Justlco to determine wlmt is reasonable and often matters of this kind find their way to the high est courts of tho land, etc., If your citizens will carefully road Mr. Mooro's romarks on this subject, I bellovo all fair-minded citizens will agreo with me that Mr, Mooro seems to bo unwilling to submit any con troversy to the bourts of his country, But on the other hand would prefer. llmsolf to make an arbittnry ruling. Replying to Mr, Mooro's remarks that "a few shovels full ot dirt con stitute actu.l beginning of construe- Ichlso to construct sidings for freight cars to stand "In front ot nnyono's door or his neighbor's beautiful home," nnd Mr. Mooro is certainly dealing In generalities beyond the limit of due caution under which such statements are made. While it Ib true that tho franchise gives mo tho right to connect with tho South ern Pacific company or any other railroad company, It does not gtvo mo tho, right to use tho streets of Ashland for switches or sidings, for tho purpose of making such connec tions, neither is it Intcndei by mo so to do. Connections of this charac ter in this line of business aro al ways made outside of the thickly settled portions of any town or city. In answering Mr. Mooro's criticism as to section three, permit me to say that I never yet have ben accused of doing anything in a "dinky" mnnner land I am glad to put myself on rec ord with tho votere of Ashland that at this time in my life I shall cer tainly not besln to do business along such lines. Neither havo I ever been accused of leaving anything "bottled up" very long. The remainder of Mr. Moore's crit icism can be answered briefly, to-wlt: The Southern Oregon Railway and Power company Is designed to meet the demands of the amazing progress now under way in tho Rogue River valley, and, with all duo respect to Mr. Moore, both as a councilman and a citizen of your city, It is most ap parent on the f?ce of his remarks that myself and the most skilled en gineers tho world produces have giv en the matter of the construction of this railway more careful and more earnest consideration than Is either realized by Mr. Moore or possibly tho average citizen of your city. Tho above statement means Just what it sayc, and, furthermore, if this sys tem of railway is constructed by my self and associates. It will be built of the most modern material lu every way, under tho supervision ot the best engineers obtainable. Very truly yours, JNO R. ALLEN.
