1'ormal Announcement Delayed Till

Denying .Interviews Given
Regarding Immigration.
TOKIO, Jan. 7. While the selection
of Baron Takahira, Japanese Ambassa
dor to Italy, to succeed Viscount Aokl
at Washington has not been officially
announced, it is admitted at the For
eign Office that the appointment has
ieen decided upon.
The Associated Press understands
that instructions have been forwarded
to the Japanese Charge d'Affalres at
Washington to announce to the State
Department the nomination of Baron
Takahira.
i The delay in making the appointment
It probably due to the desire of the
Japanese government to await the de
parture of Ambassador Aokl from
America.
A OKI GOES HOME AT IAST
Expresses Joy at Cordiality Shown
During His Stay.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7. Viscount
Aokl, Japanese Ambassador to America,
who has been recalled from Washing
ton by his government, sailed for home
at 10 o'clock today on the Pacific Mail
liner Manchuria, accompanied by Vis
countess Aokl and I. Wagoye, secretary
of tho Embassy.
The retiring Ambassador was closet
ed at the Falrmount Hotel until short
ly before sailing with Consul-General
Chozo Kloke and Vice-Consul Matsu
bara. The latter, it is undcrtsood, has
been appointed Consul at Seattle. Vis
count Aokl, before his departure, de
clined to make any statement other
than to express his appreciation of the
cordial welcome and greeting given
him in San Francisco. It was learned
that the Ambassador, Just before leav
ing the Falrmount Hotel, emphatically
repudiated an interview contained in
a local paper Saturday morning, and
reaffirmed one of Sunday morning
given to the Associated Press.
He said:
I have not discussed or made any
statement upon the immigration ques
tion or any other diplomatic matter
since my departure from Washington,
nli reports to the contrary notwith
standing." Viscount Aokl was quoted as saying
that his government would itself re
strict emigration, and that the pas
sage of an exclusion law would be re
garded as offensive to the dignity of
Japan.
Secret Service Officers J. M. Nye, of
New York: J. A. Sommers. of Wash
ington, and H. B. Moffitt, of the local
Secret Service office, and several de
tectives from the local Police Depart
ment, were in attendance upon the
Ambassador until the Manchuria sailed.
Many Japanese and several local Gov.
urnment officials were at the dock, to
see the Viscount and his party off.

vlous speeches on this same subject,
had made his views well known. The
London publication put the Count in
the position of urging India to -rise
against Great Britain.
Count Okuma and the Japanese For
eign Office have been bombarded with
cablegiams of inquiry from Paris, Ber
lin, St. Petersburg and London, and re
quests that the Count publicly repudi
ate or confirm his remarks. In reply,
Count Okuma said today:
"In my Kobe speech, I did not use
the words .that 'were put into my
mouth. It is apparent that a mistrans
lation of these remarks, has Just
reached England. My views on the
subject of trade with India, as well,
as my friendliness to Great Britain,
ought to be too well known to make it
necessary for me publicly to repudiate
the absurd construction which has been
placed upon the remarks I made at
Kobe. I have never entertained a
thought which could be stretched into
such a meaning.
"India offers us a fine field for trade,
and I urged my people openly and con
siderably to develop that field in fair
competition with friendliness with
Great Britain. That is all."

Sold Out by His Friends.
The troubles of Augustus Heinze be
gan with the bull campaign started by
Otto Heinze & Co. and associates In
the stock of the United Copper Com
pany, which Heinze had organized and
developed after his long fight with the
Amalagamated Copper Company. The
stock was selling about 60 when a
mysterious selling was detected. Be
lieving it to be an effort to raid the
stock by short selling. Otto Heinze &
Co. gave' unlimited buying orders to
various brokers, believing that, when
the time came, the bear, operators
would be unable to cover their con
tracts except at such prices as the
Heinze's- dictated. Heavy selling of
United Copper continued and then to
purchase the stock offered Otto Heinze
& Co. were forced to draw checks for
large amounts to various brokers.
When the source of the selling was as
certained the H'einzes declared that
they had been betrayed by friends who
sold their holdings of United Copper
in a high market. United Copper
slumped and Gross & Kleeberg, stock
brokers, suspended, declaring that Otto
Heinze & Co. failed to take up the
stock of the United Copper Company
which had been bought for them.
A crisis was provoked in the affairs
of the Mercantile National Bank and
the Clearing-house committee made an
examination,' following which Heinze
withdrew from the institution as an
officer, but with his friends still main
tained a stock control, which he had
purchased several months before from
Edwin Gould. There have been reports
recently in the financial district that
the Gould interests would again assume
control of the Mercantile.
MAY BE OTHER INDICTMENTS
Ridgeley Says His Agent Co-operated
With Prosecution.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. Referring to
the arrest today in New York of F.
Augustus Heinze for illegally certifying a
check on the Mercantile National Bank,
Controller Rldgeley said he knew noth
ing about the details of -this particular
transaction. When the trouble with the
Mercantile National Bank began, the
Controller said, he had sent a special
representative to try to co-operate with
the District Attorney, and he had no
doubt that the action brought today was
one of the results of the investigation.
When questioned as -to whether he
looked for other arrests on other charges.
Mr. Kidgeley aid that it was a rare
thing, for a National bank to fail without
the officers having violated the National
banking acl. While he knew of no spe
cific case of fraud, he. would not be
surprised If other cases were brought.

AFRAID OF RUEF IN JAIL
Prosecution Fearful of Dally Con
verse With Schmitz.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7. It developed
today that the prosecution in the bribery
graft cases was exerting' its Influence
to the utmost to prevent the sending of
Ruef to the county Jail, being apprehen
sive, it was said, - of the results if the
former political boss and his chieftain.
ex-Mayor Schmitz, come in daily con
tact and are able to confer with each
other freely. Superior Judge Dunne, 'Who
disqualified Sheriff O'Neill and appointed
an elisor," however, has proved obdurant
to any suggestion that Ruef be allowed to
remain at his present quarters.
"I shall make an order tomorrow after
noon, . placing Ruef in the custody of
Sheriff Dolan, ' said Judge Dunne today.
"He can keep him where he wants to.
. Ruef, it is known, is bitterly opposed to
being sent to the county jail and his
friends were very active today to prevent
him from being placed behind bars until
after the trials in which it is believed
he will be the star witness for the prose
cution.
Ruef will be taken from his present
comfortable quarters at .Fillmore street
and . Pacific avenue, where, . with his
guards and cook he is occupying an en
tire house, to the county Jail at Ingleside,
At the latter place the former political
boss will become a member of the colony
now residing there, consisting of ex.
Mayor Schmitz. Louis Glass, Walter J.
Barnett, involved in the wrecking of the

pany, of which he was also vice-president;

Pay More for Special Skill Union
Answers Injunction Suit. '. .
GOLD FIELD, Nev., Jan. 7. Members of
the Mine-operators' Association have been
given authority to pay a maximum wage
of $6 per day to both carpenters and
electricians for certain kinds of work aa
a result of extended conferences with
committee representing the building
trades and the American Federation of
Labor. .
The wage scale adopted by the asso
ciation is $5 for carpenters and electri
cians at the mines. The reason assigned
for the Increase is that, certain work re

meetings, from boycotting and picketing,
has been practically completed. It will
be taken to Carson next Thursday by

ment and refuse to contribute further.-
