HE
PLOT IS EXPOSED
Anti-Asiatic Society Raises
Large Money Sum for
Demonstration.
1 PORTLAND ON PROGRAMME
Series of Outbreak:? Planned for the
Whole Coast. With Grand Coup
at San Francisco on Arrival
of Warships In ' Harbor. .
VANCOCVEH, Wash., Fob. 26. (Spe
cial.) With thousands of dollars of ready
money behind them, subscribed by a
source now unknown, the American
Asiatic Excliisionist Organization of the
Pacific Coast has, through its chief offi
cers, been making plans recently for a
series of anti-Asiatic riots. Necessarily
the facts of the plans are shrouded in
mystery to, outsiders and it was only to
day that they became known to Van
couver. . . . . , .
Fleet's Ielay Spoils Coup.
The gist of these plans was riiBcussed
end partially matured at the meetings of
the executive committee' of the American
Exclusion League in Shuttle, on February
i and succeedins days. It-; was at those
meetings that the idea of causing riots
in Vancouver was hatched, and it has
sir)oe been arranged that the first riot
In the series should occur in Vancouver,
and that succeeding ones should take
place at Bellingham. at Portland and that
the grand finale, the most sanguinary out
break of the series, should occur in San
Francisco, about March 10. or upon the
date of the arrival of the American fleet
at that port. ..
Still Hold to Plnns.
The fleet's delay In steaming north
along the west coast of South .America
Iihs somewhat upset the schedule for the
rioting, but the original plans have not
been abandoned and already money is be
in EDent freelv in the cities where the
riots are being arraftgnd for. As soon as
the probable date of the arrival of Ad
mlral Evans' fl ct In San Francisco is
known, word will be sent forth to start
the first outbreak.
In Vancouver, av hitch In the arrange
ments has occurred because a large and
influential section of the Asiatic Exclusion
league refused to entertain the idea," of
another public parade as advocated by
the agent of the American organization.
Organize Xcw .Leagues.
Rather than give up the idea of em
broiling Great Britain in difficulties with
Japan In the event of violence and blood
shed in Vancouver, tho San Francisco
headquarters of the organization has is
sued Instructions to its agent here that
failing to control the league here, he is
to immediately organize a branch of the
American league in-Vancouver and pro
ceed as before to arrange for a parade
and subsequent riot.
News Starts League How.
The Asiatic Exclusion League of Van
couver talked for three hours tonight on
the advisability of holding another pa
rade. Then the meeting broke up In
small riot. It was the hottest anti-Jap.
gathering since last September. The lie
was passed so frequently that the word
lost its distinctive significance. Fist
lights were threatened every few mo
ments and tfle lights were finally turned
out to avoid prolonging the agony.
. ' Hit Rocks; Lights Go Out.
Vice-President Gordon Grant charged
that a plot had been hatched to pull oft
I riots in all cities on the Coast. Sam
Gothard, delegate from Vancouver to
I the Seattle convention, declared that tho
man who furnished this information was
; a liar. Finally, by a narrow majority.
i the tjuieter heads prevailed and the pro
posal to hold another parade, with riot
possibilities, was condemned. A dozen
men hurled their white badges of mem
bcrchip at the president and left the hall
in disgust.
Then a resolution was Introduced to
dissolve affiliation with the North Ameri
i can I,eugue, recently formed at Seattle.
On this question the meeting hit the rocks
and the lights went out.

be free from the slightest question of
professionalism has stirred a hotbed of
rebellion.

juaior, was elected football manager
for the Fall of 1008 against the protest
of Captain-Elect II. V. Wexler, and most
of the other members of the 1907
champien team. The long-standing cus
tom .of electing -the football manager
on the approval of the captain was dis
regarded in this instance when it was
known .thaU the faculty practically de
manded the selection of -McCroskey.

lock, treasurer of the football team last
Fall, were both declared ineligible by
the faculty for alleged" complicity in cer
tain alleged questionable "inducements
held oujt to athletes of the type of Ralph

bers of the great 1907 team eay they will

that eventually tht road will become
a part of the Oregon Electric. This,
however, is only conjecture arising
from the fact that A. Welch, who is
managing the enterprise, was the man
who secured the right-of-way and
began the construction work on the
Oregon Electric.
That the Willamette Valley will b

admits of doubt; .for contrabts have

The time of beginning construction
work will depend largely upon weather

PARTY WORKERS TO MEET
MASS COXVEXTIOX OF IjAXE
REPUBLICAN'S SATURDAY.
Party Xot United on Statement No.

Sheriff This Time. .
BUG EN EL Or., Feb. 26. (Special.) Ex
tensive preparations are being made for
the mass meeting of Lane County Repub
licans in this city next Saturday. The
members of the County Central Com
mittee, chosen two years ago, and rep
resenting over 30 political districts, are
being urged to attend, and it Is probable
that- scores of Republicans from different
sections of the county will be here.
The purpose of the meeting is to secure
a full and tree discussion oi an mancm
pertaining to the coming campaign In
this county, and the Republicans hope to
form an organization of such strength
that Republican success will be assured.
Of the county offices all but that of
Sheriff has been hehl by Republicans for
the past two years, and all are up for" re
election. The Democrats will, as usual.
concentrate their efforts on the office of
Sheriff with the hope of continuing their
power In that place, as they have been
able to do for many years.
That there will be a .division among
Republicans when It comes to the choice
of State Representatives from this county
there Is no doubt. The leaders are taking
opposite sides on Statement No. 1. and
the Republican Club recently formed in
Eugene has pledged itself to work for
those candidates who will take the mod
ified statement. Among the Republican
leaders in the city, there Is considerable
opposition to the Statement, while among
the leaders of the country Statement No.
1 has many staunch supporters. Prospec
tive candidates for the Legislature, as

a number in favor of it will enter the

HOUSE-
A COAT of Natural Jap-a-lac ap
plied over old or new linoleum or oil
cloth will double Its life, by preservlnsr
the original coat of varnish, which
would otherwise soon be washed or
worn off.
"WEATHER-BEATEN front dnors
are revived and beautified when coat
ed with Jap-a-lac, and "newness fol
lows the brush." It Is best to use the
color nearest that of the old finish.
WINDOW AND DOOR screens
should be coated with Jap-a-lac each
Spring, using the brilliant Black on
the wire, and the Mahogany, Oak.
Cherry or Walnut on the frames. It
gives them new life and the wire cloth
is protected from rust.
PORCH FURNITURE should be
protected and beautified each Spring
with Jap-a-lac. It is best to use the
color of the old finish; but if you wish
to change the color, use Red or Green
Jap-a-lac.
WICKER FURNITURE coated with
Mahogany, Ox-Blood Red, Malarhlte
Green or Gloss White Jap-a-lac looks
better than new.
WATER PIPES, furnace front3, ra
diators, hot-water tanks and iron
fences are preserved and beautified
with the use of Jap-a-lac. Use the
Gold, Alum'.num, Dead Black or Bril
liant Black.
PICTURE FRAMES, candelabra,
gas fixtures, lamps, etc., given a coat
of Gold, Aluminum or Dead Black
Jap-a-lac are renewed almost beyond
belief; the Dead Black produces
that beautiful wrdught-iron effect.
OLD AUTOMOBILES, carriages,
wagons, agricultural implements, etc.,
Jap-a-lac-ed with either Brilliant
Black, 'Red, Green or Empire Blue,
look 100 per cent better and are given
new life. The cost Is nominal, and
the work can be done by an inexperi
enced person.
JAP-A-LAC Is a household neces
sity, and can bo used In a hundred
and one ways, from "cellar to garret,"
and Is especially adapted for finishing
old or new floors and woodwork. Ask
