JANSSEN TO PLEAD
SELF DEFENSE
MAN WHO CUT AND SLASHED
FIVE HINDUS IN FRIGHTFUL
MANNER HAS RETAINED AN
ATTORNEY.
Emfl Janssen, the Belgian who cut
and slashed five Hindus Monday
evening, will be arraigned this morn
fag in Justice Goodman's court.
"Janssen has retained C J. Curtis
as his attorney and it is understood
tiut he will plead not guilty to the
charge and will fight the matter, as
test he may. Wherein he will be
able to find a defense does not yet
appear, though it is understood he
will claim that he merely protected
limself, while the prosecution will in
all probability endeavor to show that
the five men who were cut so fright
fully were not even engaged in 'the
fracas but were "innocent bystand
ers." A noteworthy feature of the
siatter is the sympathy that is being
expressed for Janssen among certain
tlasses of people. Some boldly aver
ttat the Hindus "got just what was
coming" to them, and naturally these
people have nothing but praise for
the Belgian in his wild attack while
wider the influence of drink.
Nevertheless, there is also a strong
feeling among other classes, to the
effect that even if the Hindus are not
a class of people greatly desired in the
United States, yet as long as they are
iere, and are a peaceable, law-abiding
and hard-working class, they
should be given the fullest protec
tion of the law.

GREAT FISH STORY
ABOUT HERRING
INTERESTING AND ABSOLUTE
LY RELIABLE ACCOUNT.OF A
VAST SCHOOL OF THEM IN
SHOALWATER BAY.
Judge J. J. Brumbach, prosecuting
attorney of Pacific county, and J. S.
Simpson, who is engaged with Geo.
P. Clark in experting the books of
that county, were in the city last
night, having come over on some
official business connected with the
investigation of the accounts there.
They say that Mr. Clark was taken
slightly ill a short time ago and went
to the hospital a,t South Bend, and
while his sickness soon responded to
the hospital treatment that he was
very reluctant to leave the instiu
tion. There is a hint of a romance
in the hospital end of the story.
Mr. Simpson also says that while
coming out of Shoalwater Bay yes
terday on the steamer Reliable they
ran into a school of herring so vast
in numbers that the vessel could
hardly plow her . way through. Mr.
Simpson says the tale is fact, actual
fact. Tha herring were so thick in
the water that the revolving propellor
threw thousands of them into the air.
He even dipped his hat down into the
water and brought up nothing but
herring. Mr. Simpson, who was en
thusiastic in telling the fish tale, pass
ed long enough to say that the job of
experting the Pacific colnty books
will probably be completed in about
ten days. He will then commence
work on the municipal accounts of
South Bend.

FLAG PROTECTS HIM
ACorean Editor Is In Odd Affair
in Seoul
BRITISHER GIVES HIM AID
The Newspaper Man Was Arrested,
and Escaping From Hia Guards
Fled to Former Editor, Who Raises
British Flag and Defies 'the Japs.
SEOUL, Aug. 13. A novel situati
on has developed in the case of the
Corean editor of the vernacular edi
tion of the Daily News who was ar
rested July 25, charged with compli
city in the alleged disappearance of
a portion ot what is known as the
Corean national loan redemption fund
which amounted to 250,000 yen.
After a preliminary hearing the ed
itor wes committed for public trial
August 15.
The Daily News was formerly own
ed by E. T. Bethel, an Englishman,
who recently was sentenced to a term
in prison at Shanghai after a con
viction in the British consular court
of using the columns of his paper to
incite the Coreans to riot.
The Coreans national loan redemp
tion fund was originally collected,
partly with the assistance of Bethel's
newspapers with the object of paying
the Corean National debt of Japan.
It was asserted by Bethel's friends
that arrest of the Corean editor of
the News was secured by the Japan
ese because he was the chief witness
in behalf of Bethel during the latter's
trial. Every evening, the Corean edi
tor, who was seriously ill, was sent
to a hospital. During .the transfer
he eluded hi guards and went to
Bethel's offke. Bethel hoisted the
British flag over his gate and refused
to allow the police to enter or to sur
render the prisoner, claiming for
him extra-territorial protection.
The British consul, who has been
embarrassed by Bethel's action is
conferring by cable with Ambassador
MacDonald at Tokio as to what
course to pursue. The whole affair
has created a great sensation in Seoul
and its final development will be en
joyed by everyone except the Brit
ish consul and the Corean and Jap
anese authorities.
The Corean government asserts
that the redemption fund which was
contributed to by poor people who
made many sacrifices in the belief
that the payment of the national debt
would free Corea from the yoke of
Japan has been in great part misap
propriated.
The Corean editor, places the re
sponsibility for the fund on Bethel,
who" asserts that he is entirely inno
cent of any misappropriation and that
he can account for the entire fund,
which he says he invested in loans to
various foreigners in Seoul and also
in shares.
Bethel has been called as a witness
by the British consul in the Corean
editor's trial and he will be required
to swear to his statement of the dis
position, of the fund.
Jn the meanwhile the trial ot
the editor must be postponed unless
Bethel surrenders him.

TO CRUSH TRAFFIC
Immoral Sai Francisco After
White Slave Trade
ONE CASE TO BE TRIED
Henry . Villette Faces Charge of
Bringing a Young French Girl to
This Country For Immoral Pur
posesOrganised Campaign Begun
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13.-The
first trial to take place as a result of
the determined effort to crush out the
white slave trade carried on by the so
called "Protective League" will begin
today when Henry Villette faces the
court on a charge" of having brought
Marguerita Paisseui a young French
girl, to this country and placed her
in an immoral house at Chicago and
in this city, violating the clause of the
immigration laws prohibiting the im
portation of alien women for immoral
purposes.
Villette was arrested several days
ago and placed under $10,000 bail
bonds because of information given
the immigration authorities by the
girl when the latter was apprehended
at Tucson, Ariz. The maximum pun
ishment for the offense charged is five
years' imprisonment and $5000 fine.
The girl will appear against Villette.
Special agents of the immigration
commission are now in tins city in
augurating an organized campaign
against the white slave trade. They
declare that the "protective league"
is represented in many middle west
ern and eastern cities and say that
Villette is a member of this organi
zation. The object of the league is
to afford its members financial as
sistance in case of prosecution, ac
cording to the government officials
and the commission is determined to
crush it out of existence.
In addition to the tight against the
league the immigration officials , are
about to commence a war on alien
inmates of houses of ill-fame who
have been in this country less than
three years. This action will be taken
under the law which provides that
any alien woman who has been in the
United States less than three years
and is known to be a prostitute may
be deported.
Evidence that It is hoped will lead
to the deportment of a great many
women of the half-world has already
been secured and the officials declare
that the fight will be waged without
pause until this phase of the matter
has been blotted out.
