MAYOR RAISING FUND FOR TRAIN
Steamer Brings 900, but Dare
Not Land them.
CITY REFUSES SHELTER
Health Board Condemn All Vacant
Buildings as Cnflt for Habita
tion to Freeze Out Hindus.
Japanese Arm for Defense.
VANCOUVER. B. C. Sept. 11. (Spe
cial.) From the Japanese-Chinese,
Vancouver's problem shifted' to the
Hindus this afternoon. N'lnc hundred
arrived on the steamer Monteagle from
Hongkong. Thirty Japanese only came
to Vancouver. The Canadian Pacific
Railway Company, owner of the steam
er, had its wharf barricaded and roped
off and protected by special police. : It
will be later in the evening before 'any
large number of Hindus leave the
steamer. No trouble is expected, for
the riotous Vancouver laborers will
probably not move against the Hindus,
because the latter are British sub
jects. No Roof to Cover Them.
But the civic authorities backed up
the labor, people this morning In bring
ing the entire immigration scheme to
an issue. For two days the Health
Department of Vancouver has. been
placarding as unlit for habitation every
empty house and barn in the city lim
its, tn order that the Hindus may not
be allowed to take possession. Special
guards will see that none of theao
houses 1b used by the hew arrivals.
At noon Mayor Bcthune dispatched
a. telegram to Sir Wilfrid laurier, Pre
mier of Canada, as follows:
"Neithor accommodations nor em
ployment for Hindus arriving . today,
nor is it possible to house them under
canltary conditions. Shall we house
them in the drill hall at the govern
ment's expense?"
Ship Them All to Ottawa.
Anticipating a refusal by the govern
ment, the Mayor this afternoon! ordered
the opening of a popular subscription
list by citizens to ship the entire 900
Hindus to Ottawa by a special train
leaving tomorrow morning. The Can
adian Pacific will send a special train
across the continent for about $10,000.
The Mayor says that this will be the
cheapest way of ridding Vancouver of
these Immigrants, and will at the same
time give Eastern' Canada a taste of
" what Asiatic labor is like. The train
will he billed right through to Ottawa
the, seat of the federal government.
?Jore Japanese Due Today.
No more demonstrations have oc
curred and no renewal of rioting Is
expected until the arrival of the Steam
ers Indian and Woolwich with more
than a. thousand Japanese tomorrow or
Friday. ' More than 00 special police.
Including many mounted men. have
been sworn in during the last 24 hours.
All Chinese and Japanese domestic
servants and millhands, who . struck
when the riots first occurred, returned
to work this morning. Immediately the
white waiters and cooks and other
white union men employed In mills ar
ranged for holding meetings to con
aider whether they shall quit work at
all places where Asiatic labor Is em
ployed. Other labor unions all over
the city promise to boycott restaurants
and hotels . and mills where any Ori
ental labor whatever is employed.
Backed by the civic authorities the
laborers are determined to bring the
question to a crisis at the present time.
Two Chinamen yesterday snatched a
baby from the doorstep of a West End
residence ajid threw ft into, the street.
The Chinese fled immediately and evaded
' several ' men armed with clubs, who
started in pursuit.
More rioters were committed for trial
in the court by the police magistrate to
day. Marched Ashore and Back Again'.
Fearing another anti-Oriental riot, the
Mayor with the Canadian Pacific offi
cials decided tonight not to bring ashore
' the thousand Orientals who arrived on
the steamer Monteagle this afternoon. All
but 100 of the sno Hindus who arrived
were passed by the medical Inspector for
'the Dominion government. Eight hundred
were marched ashore to the Inspection
shed and then, after two hours delay,
they were marched on board again. All
thta maneuvering was done In full view
of a crowd of thousands of citizens who
stood on the depot hill two city blocks
away and, barricaded from the wharf,
watched the performance. .
It was announced to the crowd that,
because of inability to find quarters for
the new arrivals, they would be kept
aboard till tomorrow. But on th.e best
official authority It is learned that they
will be spirited ashore during the night.

chests, old age and specific Illness, all
bars to entry into Canada. Only one
Japanese was found a fit subject for de
portation.
The AValters and Cooks Union this
evening gave the restaurants and hotels
30 -days' notice to discharge all Chinese
and Japanese cooks and waiters. If this
is not carried out, there will be a general
strike throughout the cits', and other
unions have agreed to stand y the cooks
in boycotting all places of business that
employ Oriental labor.

' BELLINGHAM. Wash.. Sept. 11.
Through an anonymous letter all
Pr. James AVIthyetunhe, Woo Ad
, drened the Irriiratlrtn Convention
at . rants Pass on Dairying.
Japanese and. Chinese in this city .havn
been warned to leave at once. .Twenty
Japanese working at the canneries
have left. Those who - remain are
armed and say they will resist any at
tempt to force them out of. town. The
Chinese, of whom there are 203 working
in the canneries just now, say they
will leave If the white men say so.
E. B. Demlng, general manager of
the Pacific-American Fisheries Com-'
pany, says If the Orientals leave, the
salmon-canning industry . is doomed,
and his company will close its plant in
this city, which is the largest cannery
in the world, for even the Japanese
have made an attempt to affiliate with
the labor unions.. K. Sasaki, secretary
of the Japanese Union of Washington,
and Jihe I. Hashiguchl, publisher of the
Japanese Current of Seattle, are here
trying to bring about the merger.
Sunday a mass meeting of union men
and members of the Asiatic Exclusion
League will be held to make a, demon
stration against ' the foreigners. To
night the leaders of the Japanese an
nounced they will attend this meeting
in a body. The Japanese are armed
and riots are feared.
AFRAID TO LAND ORIENTALS
Company Holds Them ou Steamer
Till Streets Are Deserted.
VANCOUVER. B. C, Sept. 11. Tht the
steamship company feared trouble in
landing Its Orientals is shown by the fact
that all the Japanese but 30 were landed
at Victoria. When the Monteagle arrived,
the wharves were barricaded and roed
off for a distance of two blocks and en-
' trances were surrounded- by special offi
cers of the steamship company as well as
special officers provided by the city. From
4 o'clock urrtil 7 o'clock Dominion Medical
Inspector Dr. Munro made examinations
of the new arrivals. All were passed
with the exception of 100 Hindus, found
suffering from diseases, and one Japanese,
who also was afflicted. They will bo de
ported. The Hlndusare almost tea man ex
soldiers and bring with them a total of
$30,000 In gold.
At 7 o'clock this evening the "Hindus
were marched off the ship. , but by that
time an Immense crowd had collected
around the depot building. . The steam
ship officials as weir as the city officials
were afraid, of permitting the Hindus to
make their way alone In the face of the,
crowd and the Indians were again turned
back to the steamer, where they huddled
together and chattered over the prospects
of landing.
Word was conveyed to thorn of ' the
stirring eventB of the last 'few days, and
they plainly showed nervousness. It was
officially announced that, the ' Hindus
would be permitted to remain aboard
ship until daylight tomorrow morning,
but from Inside official sources it is un
derstood that an attempt will be made to
land the Hindus late tonight, when the
streetB appear to be deserted and signs
of a riot are not so imminent as they
appeared this afternoon.
The Japanese and Chinese millhands
and domestics who went on a strike yes
terday have returned to work. Coinci
dent with this determination upon the
part of the Orientals, white laborers sup
ported by the unions have given notice
to all places where Orientals are em
ployed that they will be given 3ft days to
replace the Oriental labor with white
labor. Refusal to comply with this de
mand will be met by a strike and boy

Strong Man Needed to

SMASH JOHNSON'S MACHINE
Contest of Interest to -Whole
Republican Party.-
NO RELATl6ll TO FORAKER
Secretary Says Purpose Is to Break
Down Strong Adverse Organiza
tion, Not Defeat President's
Enemy in the Senate.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Sept. 11. The Post
Intelligencer tomorrow will say:
Secretary Taft. when shown the pub
lished statement of Representative Theo
dore B. Burton, that In announcing him
self as a candidate for the office of
Mayor of Cleveland In opposition to
Mayor Tom Johnson, he was greatly
aided in coming to a decision by letters
received from President Roosevelt, Secre
tary Taft and Secretary Garfield, said:
"Mayor Johnson has a well-oiled politi
cal machine in the largest city In Ohio,
and his success in keeping control of the
city for three successive terms, together
with the fact that this success has given
him special prestige In urging and at
tracting attention to policies which op
pose some of the leading policies of the
Republican party, makes his defeat for
re-election of interest not only to the
people of Cleveland and the- state of Ohio,
but also to the. Republican party general
ly. He has so Intrenched himself and
his machine in Cleveland that only a man
having first-class qualifications can have
any hope of defeating him.
Burton Is Man to Lead Fight.
. "Representative Burton, by reason
of his high qualities as a man and as
a representative of the people, who has
won distinction b' bis ability and in
tegrity in tho conduct of public busi
ness of great Importance, is the man
best qualified in every way to fill the
position of Mayor of Cleveland. Let
ters from many of the leading citizens
and business men of Cleveland have
urged that something be done to bring
that city back Into the Republican col
umn and Into harmony with the' party
In Ohio and the Notion at large. .With
others I have urged Representative
Burton to become a candidate against
Mayor Johnson. It will take a strong
man to win. Burton Is the man. He
Is of the highest repute. His long ex
perience In affairs has given him spe
cial qualifications for the office of
Mayor. He has great executive capac
ity; he is conservative and progressive.
There can be no doubt his election Is
of real Importance to the city and state
of Ohio.
Interests of Party at Large.
"This contest cannot be viewed with
Indifference by the Republican party
at large. The continuance of a strong-
r
U.S. "CHEER UP, NEP,
ly intrenched adverse organization In
the largest city in one of the. leading
stales of the Union should be prevent
ed. It Is of the highest "importance
to the state organization, and certainly
the Republican party at large cannot
help but view the situation with con
cern." "Has the indorsement of Representa
tive Burton's candidacy any relation
to the election of a successor to United
States Senator Foraker?"
"Oh. no; it does not relate to that
at all.".
"What do you think of Mayor John
son as a public man?"
"Well, I dp not care to be quoted on
that question. T think I have said as
much as I ought to say on , the subject."
WILL LEAD TO HIGHER OFFICE
If Burton Captures Cleveland, He
May Take Foraker's Seat.
ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Sept. 11. The announcement of
Representative Burton, of Ohio, that he
will be a candidate for Mayor of Cleve
land is 'one of the most Interesting and at
the same time one of the most perplexing
political incidents of the Summer. It is
interesting . because Mr. Burton has the
nerve to give up one of the most Impor
tant positions in Congress to run against
the most popular Democrat In Cleveland,
acknowledged to be a Democratic commu
nity. It is perplexing, because it is diffi
cult to understand why a man who has
become the National figure that Mr. Bur
ton is. by reason of holding the chairman
ship of the committee on rivers and car
bors. should relinquish those duties in
order to make a race for Mayor.
Mr. Burton did not make this move sole
ly on account of the Mayoralty. He was
looking beyond. It was not an altogether
selfish move, on his part, but one made
for the g"ood of the party as well. It is
likely that Mr. Burton cares not so much
for the Mayoralty as for what it will lead
to; he cares not so much for the honor
of the office as for the honor lie hopes to
acquire that of defeating Tom Johnson,
locally known as the "people's idol." It
will take a good man to defeat Mr. John
son, and if Mr. Burton can accomplish
this end. hla fame In Ohio will be greater
than It has been heretofore; he' will
thenceforth be a power with whom all
party leaders' must reckon.
Has Eye on Foraker's Seat.
The probability Is that Mr. Burton has
his eye on the United States Senate. By
hard and conscientious work he has risen
as high as he can get In the House, for
he lacks that plement of personal popular
ity that cuts a figure in the selection of
Speakers. As chairman of the committee
on rivers and harbors, he completely mas
tered his subject and is better posted on
(jovernment works of improvement in
the great waterways of the Nation than is
any other man in the country, not except
ing the officers of the. Army engineer
corps. If he stayed in that position 30
years. Mr. Burton could not learn much
more than he knows now. That fact
alone led him to seek something higher
and better.
It would not be possible for Mr. Bur
ton to advance toth Senate at the
present time,- for i -'. terA of SenaiV
Foraker will not expire until March
1M, and Senator Dick's term runs unttl
March 4, 1911. But Mr. Burton Is evident
ly laying the foundation for his senatorial
fight, and towards the close of Mr.
Forakei's term it Is quite likely that ho
will enter the field against the Senator,
provided he makes good in the meantime.
Alms to Break Johnson's Power.
In laying his foundation Mr. Burton let
it bo known that he w'as in perfect har
mony with President Roosevelt and his
policies. Then, when . it became known
that the President was anxious to have
Mr. Taft nominated for the Presidency,
Mr. Burton took up the cause "'Of the War
Secretary and Is' to he his political man
ager In Ohio, if his Mayoralty plans will
permit. If Mr. Burton can defeat Mr.
Johnson, he -will then be in a position to
demand recognition as one of the Repub
lican leaders of the state, and the distinc
tion thus acquired will not be overlooked.
With such a foundation Mr. Burton would
be in a portion to give battle to Mr.
Foraker, and his prospects, provided the
Taft crowd Is predominant in Ohio and
the Legislature, would be must flattering.
Tom Johnson is .the most powerful

, SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11. (Spe
cial.) On Monday night a deaperata
encounter occurred between on the one
Bide men employed by the United Rail
ways and on the other striking carmen
and police. Five men were ahot, two
fatally, one of the latter beingr the vic
tim of a shot fired by a policeman.
Two accounts of the affray have been
furnished, which are directly opposed
to each other In fixing the blame for
the rioting. One account is that given
by the policemen concerned In thfc fu
sillade that was poured Into the band
o femployee of the company, and the
other Is that of the railway officials
who investigated the matter, as they
claim. In as thorough manner as pos
sible. As a result of the battle, Maurice
Rendsberg, a motorman. Is dying at St.
Luke's Hospital; Roy Perkins occupies
a cot at the some Institution with a
bullet wound In hla left leg; 3. 3. Cot
ter Is nursing a bullet wound In the
le"ft arm; Frank Smith has a super
ficial wound in the right forearm, and
Harry Cohrs has an ugly wound in his
left leg.
. Two carmen, Harry Green and John
J. Cotter, are booked at tho City Prison
for assault to commit murder.
Police Claim Plot.
The bloody battle started shortly after
midnight near the United Railroad car
barn at Twenty-fourth and Utah streets,
and, according to the statement of the po
lice, was the result of a plot that has been
brewing among Calhoun's nonunion men
to drive out the union pickets who have
taken up quarters near the. carbarn and,
have been housed Intents there sinca the
beginning of the strike.
Just at the stroke of midnight a United
Railroads repair car was run out of tho
carbarn. It .was manned by a score of
armed strikebreakers, ' and as it speeded
noiselessly along the tracks in tho direc
tion of the union pickets all lights were
extinguished. When nearly opposite the
tents the first shots were fired, strike
breakers say. by the union pickets, the
pickets declare by the armed men on the
cars. After the first volley the firing
was fast and furious. The arn.oved car
was In rapd irotion all during the shoot
ing. It was run rapidly down to the
switchback, the shooting was continued
while the car was speeding back to th
barn.
Attracted, by the shooting, a squad
of policemen and Sergeant of Police,
Layne was hurried out from the Mis
sion station and remrorcements were
sent for Immediately to the Central.
Southern and Harbor stations. Acting
Chief Anderson was notified, as was
Captain of Detectives Colby, and the
Acting Chief hurried to the scene to
take charge of .the police force. The
police state that the strikebreakers
opened fire on the first policemen to
arrive at the scene. Seven of them
who had been on the car took tip a,
station at the barbarn and fired point
blank at the approaching officers.
Layne directed his men to return the
fire and five of the strikebreakers fell
at the first volley.
Chief Anderson Arrives.
Meanwhile Anderson arrived and
took personal command of the, men.
Strikebreakers on the Inside of the
carbarn continued shooting through
windows and small opening In the barn
and the officers returned the-fire until
the nonunion' battery was silenced. The
officers then entered the barn itid
forced the carmen to give up their In
jured companions and the riot leaders,
whom the police declare opened fire
upon them.
The version of the affair given out
by the United Railroads people differs .
materially from the story of the po
lice, and la in part as follows:
Say Plot Story Is Abfwrd.
"The story of a. plot Is ridiculous.
That repair car was first started out
from the carbarn for the purpose of
making sorhe necessary repairs to
tracks and "wires injured during tha
day's run. The men on that car when
It first went out. were the regular re
pair gan. There were no gun-fighters
and not one of the men was armed..
When they passed the tents of union
pickets rocks were thrown breaking
every window, and then shooting com
menced from the tents.
"The men In the repair car rushed
back to the barn for reinforcements
and a trailer loaded with armed men
went out to follow and protect the re
pair crew on its second trip. Fire was
opened again when the two cars went
