MIKADO'S TREATY
issues
anese
. in
Order Forbidding Jap
From Hawaii to Land
British Columbia.
REGARDED. AS GOOD JOKE
Because of Conflict With Great Brit
ain's Agreement, It Is Believed
England Will Cancel the
Governor-General's Action.,
VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. 11. (Spe
cial.) Apparently without calculating
whether it was possible to make the
, order under the treaty existing be
tween Great Britain and Japan, the
Canadian government today put. into
effect an order designed to prohibit
the landing of all Japanese who are
said to "be coming within the next two
months from Hawaii.
- Canada is a party to the treaty and
six months' notice of abrogation is
necessary. No one Imagines for a mor
inent that the Canadian government
really meant to set at defiance the
treaty, but that :is unmistakably the
effect of the passing o the order. Here
is the first clause of the treaty: '
"The subjects of the two contracting
powers shall have full liberty to enter,
travel or reside in any part of the do
minions and, possessions of the other
contracting party and shall enjoy full
and perfect protection for their per
sons and property."
On the other hand, the order of the
Dominion government made today is as
follows:
"It has been ordered by the Governor-General,
the Council, that during the
continuance of the present conditions
of the labor market In Canada, immi
grants may be prohibited from landing
unless they come from the country of
their birth or citizenship by continuous
journey and on through tickets pur
' chased before starting."
The government does not deny that
the order is directed solely ariinst the
Japanese of Honolulu, who 'cannot be
.American citizens and who have not
made, when they shall have . arrived
hero, continuous journeys to British
Columbia. .
lion. W. J. Bowser, Attorney-General
of British Columbia, gave . his
opinion today that there was abso
lutely no question but that the order
of the Federal government was in de
fiance of the treaty and therefore could
not be maintained. That Japan has
not consented to this regulation Is evi
dent from the fact that none, of her
representatives in Canada has re
ceived notice of that consent. .
All over Canada tonight the order is
looked upon as a good joke. There is
no possibility, it is said, of its being
carried out, as the Imperial govern
ment will order Its cancellation within
a few days, even If the Dominion gov
ernment should attempt to force the
, matter. .

GOES THROUGH HARD TESTS
BOY OF 15 YEARS) MAKES PRE
TENSE OF INSANITY.
Allows Pins to Be Stuck in Him and
Undergoes i Court Test Confesses
Through Fear of Asylum.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 11. (Special.)
After subjecting himself to the careful
observation of physicians for a month,
permitting them to stick pins in his
hands, finger tips and back without
flinching, and going through the ordeal of
a court Inquiry as to his sanity, 15-year-old
Carl Windell, of Youngstown, fearing
that he was to be sent to the asylum,
broke down this morning and confessed
that he had been shamming, for the pur
pose of furthering a contemplated ac
tion for damages against the Seattle
Electric Company.
It Is regarded as the most remarkable
bit of feigning that has ever come under
the observation of local physicians, con
sidering the age of the lad and the se
verity of the tests made to' prove him in
truth mentally afflicted. Dr. J. B. Lough
ary, one of the most expert alienists in
the Northwest, has seen the boy for a
month and has unhesitatingly declared
his mental condition abnormal. Seattle
Electric Company physicians' and others
for the family observed the child, with
the result that the street railway com
pany .made an offer of settlement of $5000
ten days ago.
HTZ SPENTJS 'NIGHT IN JAIIi
Pnyallup Police Release Him Before
Hearing From Portland.
PUYALLUP, Wash., Jan. 11. (Spe
cial.) The Puyallup City Jail housed
an alleged murderer Tuesday night.
This startling fact developed yesterday
when a notice was sent to the Puyal
lup police from the Chief of Police of
Portlaitd describing Joseph Lltz and
announcing that he Is wanted on a
charge of murder in that city last
month.
The man was picked up at the
Northern Pacific station in company
with another suspicious-looking char
acter. Both were jailed as vagrants.
Neither seemed to be alarmed at be
ing arrested. In the morning they
were liberated, and inquired the best
way .to avoid Tacoma, as they had
heard the city had a chain gang. They
were directed, and when last seen were
walking toward Midland.
The description furnished of Litz
fits one of the men perfectly, and there
is little doubt here but what he was
the right person. Had this city con
ducted a chain gang he would have
been here today in safe custody.

TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 11. (Special.)
; The closing day of the State Feder

test debate and greatest confusion oi
the session. The principal business was
the consideration of the report of the
committee which was sent to. confer
with the directors of the A. Y. P. Ex,
position, Friday. The committee was
unable to get before the fair board
and was of the opinion the director
had no desire to have anything more
to do with the matter and recommended
the exposition be placed on the "un
fair" list.
Some of the sober-minded element in
the convention were of the opinion the
Federation was acting too hastily, bin
pandemonium broke loose, and the
speakers who succeeded in getting the
floor had hard work to -make them
selves heard above the uproar. The
motion declaring the exposition "un
fair" was finally parried with a hurrah.
AH future action in the matter will be
left to the executive committee and
the Seattle Central Labor Council, who
will devise ways, and means for fight
ing the exposition.
. The action of the convention was
wired to President Gompers tonight.
An amendment to the constitution
was adopted, raising the compensation
of the president from Jt to 5 a day,

action will have no Injurious effect on
the project-
The directors yesterday told a dele
gate from the convention that the ma
jority of the contractors were favor
able to union labor, and that It was not
the' province of the fair management
to dictate to the contractors, for it is
the money of the people-at-large which
is being spent, and consequently it
should be spent as advantageously as
possible.
The delegate cited the Portland Fair
as an instance of what "open shop" has
done for a town, and then said that
the Jamestown fair was built by union,
labor. Director-General F. A. Nadeau
replied that the Portland Fair was an
unqualified success, and that the
Jamestown fair was a failure. The
present policy of the fair directors
will continue.

Control and Death Results.
BARNSLET. Eng.. Jan. 11. Sixteen
children were trampled to death and 40
others, several of whom cannot live, were
injured in a mad rush for better seats at
an entertainment given in the public hall
here this afternoon. There was a great
crush to secure admittance to the enter
tainment, and- when the doors opened
every seat was taken and the gallery
was literally packed with children,' who
filled the aisles and who were danger
ously massed against the lower railing.
"With a view to relieving this, crowding
in the gallery, the attendants decided to
transfer some of the children to the body
of the' house, and one usher called out,
'Some of you children come' down
stairs."
Immediately the rush started , and
within a few seconds hundreds of chil
dren were being trampled under foot..
Even those-who had seats in the gallery,
doubtless being panic-stricken by the
screams and struggles or the crowds
fighting to reach the staircase, joined in
the stampede.
' The scene was a terrible one, the cries
of the Injured and moans of the dying
causing the greatest excitement among
those gathered in the body of the hall.
Police and ushers rushed to the head of
the ' staircases. which were literally
strewn with dead and dying, and by the
most desperate efforts managed to drag
scores ef the struggling children to the
corridors below. It was with the greatest
difficulty that a panic among the chil
dren in the lower part of the house was
averted, all of these eventually being
taken to the street in safety.
When the reserve police arrived, they
found the narrow stairway practically
blocked with bodies, which were crushed
in some Instances almost beyond -recognition.
Scores of children ' were forced by
the pressure of the crowd behind them to
scramble over those that had fallen.
whether living or dead and many of the
injured children were found later to be
suffering from fractured bones and se.
vere lacerations, caused by' the inde
scribable manner in which they had been
trampled upon.
Soon after the accident the approaches
to the hall were crowded- with sobbing
women searching for their missing chil
dren. ,
