JAP CITIZENSHIP TO
SETTLE PROBLEM
Fight to Vote Only Way to
Close California Land Puz
zle, Says Dr Sato.
KEPORTTO RULER OUTLINED
Graduate of John Hopkins Univer
sity Also Favors Barring Further
Immigration From Flowery
Kingdom, He Asserts.
BALTIMORE, MJ., Aug. 1. Dr. Sho
like Sato, who has been studying the
Japanese question in California at the
direction of the Emperor of Japan, said
here that he would report to his sov
ereign that the only way the California
land problem could be settled would be
for the United States to grant citizen
ship to the Japanese now holding land
in that state. He also said he would
recommend that no more Japanese im
migrants be allowed to come to this
country.
Dr. Sato is visiting Johns Hopkins
University, where he was educated, and
will eu to Washington, where he will
be the guest of the- Japanese Ambas
ador. He said the Ambassador had ar
ranged a conference with President
Wilson and Secretary Houston for
June 4. Just what tho nature of this
conference is to be Dr. Sato will not
sav, but it is believed it will have iin
portant bearing on the California ques
tion, so that Dr. Sato will be able to
carry back to the Emperor the definite
lews and plans of President Wilson.
"I have made a careful study of th
California situation," said Dr. Sato
"and In my report to my government I
will state that, in my opinion, there is
but one way to settle the differences
between the United States ana Japan
over the California question, and that
is by granting citizenship to the Jap
anese now holding land in California.
When this is done Japan will have nof
further trouble with the Unlteu states.
There are at present about 100,000 Jap
anese in the United States, and over
half that number are qualified to be
come citizens of this country.
I also will recommend that no more
immigrants come to this country, for
if they should, it would only have a
tendency to renew the feeling in Japan.
The matter very easily can be arranged
by making an agreement or new treaty
between the countries.
Japan will show her friendship to
the United States by not pressing the
California matter until the Mexican
question is settled. The Japanese gov
ernment is of the opinion that the Cali
fornia question Is a matter entirely
within the jurisdiction of the Federal
Government and should be settled in
Washington.
"The Japanese in California are now
In
a very bad way, and t::e people of ,
California do not care what becomes of
them. By giving thein citizenship and
a vote the tension would be relieved.
Japan has nothing to gain by going to
war with the United States, and I per
sonally do not think that a conflict
between the two nations will ever oc
cur. "As to Mexico, there are a number
or Japanese who have gone to tnat
country to engage in agricultural pur
suits, but in my opinion it would be
better for them to go to Brazil, or
some other country In South America.
There is one thing certain, and that la.
Japan will not meddle In the Mexican

"GEE FEEZE" STARTS ROW
Stranger Takes Part of AYonian in
Bar and Pandemonium i:nues.
NEW YORK. Aug. 1. It all came of
a woman ordering a "gee feeze." She
entered a chophouse In West Thirty
sixth street, as proceedings in the Night
Court early one recent morning showed,
and went right up to the bar and said,
"Gee feeze, please, wiz dash grenadine."
And it was explained to the woman
that it would be much better if she
would go to the restaurant for women
and men oh the floor above.
She said some things and started to
go, and just then Theocritus Anabasis,
"bus" boy. stooped to straighten out the
rug, and. as bad luck would have It.
he shifted it at the moment that the
foot of the woman stepped on It. Over
she went full length, but in a twinkle
was on her feet again. One hand seized
a sugar bowl and sent it flying at the
head of the gesticulating flunky. With
the other she jerked the tablecloth off
the nearest table and caused an aval
anche of mustard and pepper sauce and
vinegar and horseradish.
"Madam." said the manager, gently,
"you had better go away from here.
Permit me to. assist you."
She coquetishly dug a few nails into
his face and he started to assist her out.
Then six feet of interference loomed
on the threshold.
"I am an American citizen," the six
feet said. "I won't stand for seeing a
lady abused."
And so there was a mixup of six
waiters, a manager, one American citi
zen, some tables and more chairs.
The police interfered -and arrested the
cause of the conflict. She was sent to
Blackwell's Island for two days.

HOPES OF
SHIPPING
:FS ENOEO
Grainmen Meet and General
Session to Outline Ac
tion Is Planned.
APPEAL TO BANKS LIKELY
Vessels Arriving Probably Will Re
main in River Britain Assumes
War Risks on Atlantie, but
Xot on the Pacific.
Declarations of war by Germany and
England last night convinced shipping
interests that they faced the Inevitable
and that while the outlook was gloomy
enough Drevious to the move of the
two great European powers, there is
nothing to be done now but await de
velopments that an early and disas
trous conflict is expected to bring
about.
Yesterday there was hope. Today,
as far the Northwest exports are to
be reckoned with, it is useless to plan.
There was a meeting of the leading
grain exporting firms to tain over the
financial situation. It was assumed
that a general exchange of views
miarht result in a solution through
which foodstuffs could be moved. Noth
ing was accomplished. A session oi
other grain operators was decided on,.
for today at the Merchants hxenange.
It is intended to bring about a joint
meeting so action can be outlined and
the banking interests urged to aid in
relieving the strain.
Britain Assumes War Risks.
The British government undertook to
assume war risks on cereals moving
trqm the Atlantic Coast of the United
States and Canada yesterday, but only
on cargoes under contract. ruining
was done with reference to the Pacific
Coast, so it was reasoned that there
were no contracts in force hero to
protect. It was hoped, said a cable, to
induce the Government to tender the
same protection for Pacific Coast ship
ments. No vessels were offered for grain or
flour loading and none are expected to
be so long as the present acute situa
tion Is felt. Vessels arriving here to
work grain cargoes in the future fly
ing the flag of nations involved, prob
ably will anchor in tne stream.
The British bark Howth. which is
loaded with lumber for Liverpool, Is to
remain here pending further instruc
tions. She was to have left down to
day in tow of the steamer Ocklahama,
but Captain Parry received a cable to
defer his departure. She is un'der
charter to the Pacific Export Dumber
Company.
Fernley Gets No Orders.
No instructions had been given last
night to discontinue loading grain
aboard the British tramp Pernley, at
Montgomery dock No. 2, though the
probabilities are that she will not be
sent home so long as there is danger
of German warships scouting along
the Pacific Coast or on the other side
to catch vessels going tnrougn tne
canal. It Is admitted by grain men
that there is nothing to be dftie, and
that none of the fraternity know what
can be attempted in the face of last
night's developments.
The Norwegian bark Alcides lias
been in the river since June 21, when
she arrived from Callao under charter
to Strauss & Co. to load grain for the
United Kingdom, and the German bark
Dalbek reported July 28 from Santa
Rosalia, chartered by Balfour, Guthrie
& Co. for the same business. Both
probably will remain idle.
British Steamers Loading.
The British steamer Strathendrlck is
loading lumber for Melbourne at
Tongue Point and the British steamer
Strathalbyn is at Inman-Poulsen's tak
ing on an Australian cargo and is to
come through the bridges tonight, but
whether she goes to sea is to be deter
mined.
Fritz Kirchoff, agent for the Hamburg-American,
said last night that all
vessels of the line had been ordered to
remain In port. There were no changes
regarding the liner Saxonia, detained
on Puget Sound, and so far as is known
here, her cargo has not been dls
charged. The Andalusia, due here
September 12, is thought to have been
held at Manila.
FAULT LAID
TO
STEAMER
Respondent Blames Daisy Gadsby It
self for Dragging Cable.
That the cable which fouled the pro
peller of the steamer Daisy Gadsby last
December had been picked up by the
anchor of that steamer previously and
dropped in a dangerous place was the
contention of the Columbia Contract
Company, respondent in the case of the
Daisy Gadsby Steamship Company vs.
the Columbia Contract Company, In an
answer filed yesterday. The libelant is
asked to prove its statements In this
case In admiralty.
In addition to maintaining that the
steamer had dragged the cable at
tached to a dredger 300 feet, the con
tract company alleged that it was not
necessary to place the steamer in dry
dock to disentangle the cable from the
propeller. Negligence was denied.
LOS ANGELES BOOSTER GOES
Malone Joyce Combines Marine and
Railroad Journey This Trip.
Malone Joyce, who has two ambitions
in life, the first to boost for the Colo
rado Midland line and the second to add
to the prestige of Eos Angeles, leaves
today for the Southern California city
on the steamer Bear. Despite his loy
alty to railroads Mr. Joyce arranges
his trips to the Northwest territory so
as to go one way by water, he having
been the first to represent the "Big
Three" vessels at Los Angeles.
As general agent for the Colorado
Midland, Mr. Joyce has the entire Pa
cific Coast numbered among his respon
sibilities, and for years he has been a
running mate with Mike Roche, Ed
Duffy, Jack O'Neill and other pioneers
of Railroad Row. The Bear will carry
southward all the cabin guests that
can be accommodated, besides the cus
tomary amount of cargo.
QUEEN' HAS TELEPHONE LINE
O.-W. K. & X. Fleet to Discard Old
Speaking-Tube System.
Captain Turner, skipper of the O.-W.
R. & N. packet Harvest Queen, has won
the approval of "Captain" Budd, super
intendent of the fleet, for a scheme to
equip the steamers JIassalo and T. J.
Potter with intercommunicating tele
phone systems, which means that the
death knell is sounded for the old
fashioned speaking tubes.
On the Harvest Queen a telephone
line connects the engine-room with the
pilothouse, and another line extends
from the latffer station to the purser's
office, while more "parties" are to be
added. Captain Turner is also the
father of wireless on sternwheelers, an
Innovation recently tested.

FEATS ARE RESOURCEFUL
DR. MARCELLTJS' TRAPS UNABLE TO
HOLD RODEIiT TBIBE.
Homemade Apparatus Substituted After
Failure, and Largest Kind Obtain
able Ordered for Docks.
City Health Officer Marcellus has dis
covered a new tribe of rats that, he
says, are the largest, fiercest, most re
sourceful of any rodents at home or
tebroad. He makes the statement with
out having seen a member or the rat
tribe.
In the last few days his corps, aided
by Harbormaster Speler, has been en
gaged in placing rat traps along the
waterfront. Only the choicest salmon
and other fish has been used as bait.
The first traps were put out Saturday,
and on inspecting them Monday one on
Montgomery dock No. 2 was found 40
feet from its original position. At an
other rats had gnawed their way
beneath the trap and extracted the bait.
Yet another showed a rodent had en
tered about half way, eaten the bait
and backed out, leaving fur and hide
on the wires.
Yesterday "home-made" traps of kero
sene cans were tried and some of the
largest kind made were ordered. On
some docks, where large lots of wheat
are stored, it is proposed to have a rat
drive when the shipping season is on in
full swing.
The- rat-catching is part of the cam
paign to guard against the introduc
tion of bubonic plague, because of the
number of steamers coming here from
the Orient and other infected ports. The
fact the disease has not appeared here
has not resulted in any relaxation of
precautions.
Rats from the large grain docks and
other wharves where foodstuffs are
stored and also from certain centers
away from the waterfront are to be
caught for examination.
Rumored Capture Not Confirmed.
C. B. Welcker, viy-president of the
Pacific Export Lumber Company, had

CHARTER MADE FOR LUMltER
Asama Maru Loads Here in Septem

Strife abroad has stilled transactions

CUSTOM-HOUSE NOT ADVISED
Shipments From Portland Not Ham
pered by Ofiicial Red Tape.
No special instructions have reached
Collector of Customs Burke covering
the shipment of war munitions from
the Oregon district, nor bearing on
foodstuffs that might be hindered in
leaving the country for any of the
belligerents in Europe, though with
the opening of previous wars the of
fice usually has been flooded with of
ficial "don'ts."
On the face of things a blockade
runner might be outfitted here and
started for the other side of the At
lantic; at the same time, should such
a move be tried or the Government
officers even suspect that any vessel
was leaving in other than the regu
lar way, she would be detained, pend
ing special instructions. Washington
officials customarily transmit to the
collectors a list of commodities that
cannot be exported to countries at war.

C. H. Moore Says Scheme Mr. Duly

Be Impossible With Only
Half Present Usage.
That the popularity of the telephone
system of today and Its existence as
a necessary factor of modern civil
ization prohibits the readoption of the
10-party line is the statement of C.
H. Moore, district commercial super
intendent of the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Company. i" answer to
Commissioner Daly's statement that he
will Insist that the company furnish
10-party line service.
Mr. Daly says that the franchise
under which the company Is operated
has in It a clause whereby It agrees
to furnish service on a 10-party line
at 1.25 a month.
Mr. Moore Rrpllco.
fnattavllinar such service would be a
great detriment to telephoning ana
would only breed dissatisfaction, ac
cording to Mr. Moore. He says:
"Ten-oartv service is associated with
the primitive and experimental Muses
of the art of telephony, and has no
place in the business or social require
ments of today. It came into use in
Portland and on the Pacific Coast
about 1S96 and was discontinued in
Portland as to the taking of any new
business about 1904 or 1905. It had
served its purpose In the way or edu
cating the public to the use of the
telephone and demonstrating Its great
convenience in both business and so
cial life, and as the users depended
upon it more and more In their daily
life and work, the demand for real,
dependable service was created. A
telephone or system that could not be
depended upon to render a ser ice

"In 1895 Portland had a population
of 91,550 and we had ma leiepnones

time was of no particular interfer

the reason that telephones were UHed
very little.
"Service In Crltlclned."
In 1905 Portland had a population
of 161.205 and 17.550 telephones were
in use, and the matter of service was
an entirely different story. The user
demanded that it be always at his com
mand to place him in communication
with the party called, regardless oi
the fact as to whether the user or
the party being called, or both, were

continuance of the 10-party service.
'If service requirements in poruanu
1905 practically forced us to dis-
rnnrlnue the 10-party service wnen
only 17,550 telephones were In use, how
can there be any possible use for such
