SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1 (Special.)
What at first appeared to be a mere
absent-minded act on the part of som
belated New Tear eve celebrant in taking
the grip of Commissioner-General of Im
migration Daniel J. Keefe from the
lobby of the St. Francis Hotel yesterday
morning may take on a more serious
aspect.
Keefe has been for some time In Hono
lulu, collecting data upon Asiatic Immi
gration. The Japanese Influx baa been
engaging his attention. It is known that
Keefe was to recommend certain meas
ures to the Administration at Washing
ton. Advance Information on these sub
jects would be of vast advantage to the
Japanese government officials In enabling
them to aet in motion the elaborate ma
chinery of their diplomatic corps months
In advance of any contemplated action
on the port of the United States.
Later, the grip that had been mysteri
ously taken from the lobby of the St.
Francis, where it had been placed on a
settee for a moment, was found In
doorway in plain sight on Sutter street
near Hyde. In the heart of the Japa
nese quarter.
A theory held by the police and the
Secret Service agent, which neither will
consent to dlscusov Is that the grip was
taken by agents of the Japanese gov
ernment, carried to a convenient place.
Its contents examined and copies of all
matters of importance to Japan made.
The grip ns then discarded where it
would be easily found and returned to
the owner.
Those who are In a position to know
state that such an occurrence would be
lmple for the skilled agents of the
Japanese government, which is said to
maintain a highly perfected secret serv
ice bureau. By leaving the papers In the
grip after making copies; they say, the
purlolners sought to convey the impres-
ion that the grip bad been picked up
by some person, either absent-mindedly
or under the Influence of liquor.
Japanese officials here Indignantly
deny trie Insinuation that one of their
countrymen had access to the papers.
Keefe reported when the bag was re
turned to him that nothing had been re
moved, but beyond that had no comment
to make.
LINCOLN'S ACT PRAISED
PORTLAND NEGRO CITIZENS
. HEAR ADDRESSES.
Governor-Elect West Tells Colored
Race to Cultivate Habit of
Acquiring Homos.
The emancipation proclamation of
Abraham Lincoln was celebrated in the
auditorium of the Y. 21. C A., last night
by 00 prominent negro citizens of Port
land and a number of whites. A pro
gramme of speaking and music took up
the entire evening. The principal speak
ers were Governor-elect West, Representative-elect
Lafferty and Lewis H.
Daw ley, the eloquent negro orator of
Portland. George W. Kenny presided.
After a few remarks he Introduced Governor-elect
West.
Mr. West complimented the negro race
upon its progress and encouraged his
hearers to strive on and more particular
ly, "to cultivate, the habit of acquiring a
home." He emphasized the needs of the
negro race and what it should do to
make more rapid progress In development
as a race than In the par.
At the conclusion of Mr. West s ad
dress; Dr. Btanley L. Lucas read the
emancipation proclamation, and Mr. Laf
ferty was Introduced.
Mr. Lafferty said it was better for the
negroes to have come here as slaves than
to have not come at all. as it gave them
opportunity, though with a hard start,
to develop themselves. He then plunged
Into political history and finished by ex
tolling the primary electlqn laws of Ore
gon, the Initiative and referendum, the
regulation of public service corporations
and trusts by the Government, laws that
will do away with special privilege in
terests, the election of United States
Senators by direct vote and Insurgency
in both the Republican and Democratic
parties.
Lewis . Dawiey, tne rregro orator or
Portland, was the next speaker. He said

UNIQUE BALL SUCCESS
ELECTRICAL WORKERS HOSTS
TO 1000 COUPLES.
Armory Shines With Varied Colored
Lights Many Features Seen
Here for First Time.
In a kaleidoscopic maze of varied
colored lights that sparkled and flashed
from thousands of incandescent, oc
caslonally dissolved by the glare of flash
lights and then accenuated by the sub
dued rays of the spot lights, 1000 couples
danced In the ballroom of the Armory
last night, and announced the success of
the first annual Illuminated ball of the
International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, Local No. 317.
Suspended from the ceiling were large
bells, ringing Jho old year out and the
new year In. and strung from the center
pieces to the walls were long purple and
gold ribbons. Around the walls hung
many electrical pieces, the handiwork of
members of the local union. An im
mense horseshoe, decorated with colored
lights, arched the entrance. In one cor
ner was a waving American flag and in
another, the "Man In the Moon," who
winked and blinked at the dancers, and
underneath a big revolving wheel, of
changeable lights.
Over the heads of the orchestra was
the emblem of the electrical worl&ers' or
ganization, which flashed sigzag lighting
across the dial. "Happy New Year," the
Initials of the organiaztlon, stars and
other set pieces were strung along the
walls. One of the finest pieces was the
slckel of time cutting out the year 1910
and touching the year 1911. A how and
arrow and a bleeding heart were also
among the pieces that received special
praise.
The ball was the first or its Kino to oe
given by the electrical workers and It
was so successful that It will be repeated
next year.
