Washington, June 13. From evi -dence given today before the Interstate "Commerce commission it is very plain -that J. J. Hill and E. H. Harriman have mapped out the Northwest, each taking a distinctive territory, from which the other is effectively barred. Particularly is this true of the lumber business. It is practically impossible, unaer me existing freight rates and ar rangements, for Oregon lumbermen to compete with Puget Sound in markets tributary to the Northern Pacific and Great Northern, and likewise inirjosei ble for Puget Sound manufacturers to invade territory tributary to the Harri man lines. And so far ae the respective railroad systems are concerned, neither has any desire to invade the other's territory. Both acknowledge their utter incom jxjsency to nanaie ine Dusiness tnai is -offered them and each objects to being compelled to take care of the surplus of tne other. At the close of the morning session Mr. Jeffreys, attorney for the Gould eystem, announced to the commission that the Missouri Pacific and Denver & .Rio Grande, which connect with the Harriman lines at Ogden, had no objec tion to "opening the Portland gateway." JAPAN AGAIN AROUSED. "Widely Circulated Paper Asks People to Take Hand. Tokio, June 13. The Mainichi, pub lished at Osaka and claiming to have a circulation of 250,000, expresses anger today at the reported recent attack on a Japanese horticulturist at Berkeley, -Cal. It says: "The outrage demonstrates the impo tency of the California authorities to protect our compatriots. Now is no ime to rest assured on the stereotyped diplomatic assurances frcm the Wash ington government. Only two weeks after a positive declaration to take pre ventive measures to safeguard Japanese .rights comes the Berkeley outrage. "The persnoality of President Roose velt 'towers' high among living great 1 men and deserves full confidence, but promises, however high sounding and ! reassuring, and the promise maker, 'however high in character, Is of no val ue whatever if unaccompanied by deeds. "The powerleseness of the California And Federal governments is thus de monstrated and it only remains to take the work of protection in our own Jhands. "That the outrages are of limited ilocal occurrence is not a sufficient ex planation." HAYWOOD'S CASE HURT. -Attorney for the Defense Injures His Own Theory. "Boise, Idaho, June 13. Again yester day the aimlesslness of the defense in the Haywood case was illustrated on several occasions. It has been apparent all through the cross examination of Orchard and has been commented upon ly all observers that Mr. Richardson flounders around sadly and leads into -contradictions. There will be stout three hours of the redirect examination of Orchard on Friday morning, according to present plans, but it may require much less ime. Most everything has been brought out in the cross examinaion that the tstate wants, hut the relations of the witness with the Cripple Creek detec tives will be gone over to some extent, and severla other matters will be fully explained which have been only touched upon by the cross examination and were not gone into on direct examina tion. Demand Indemnity for Riot. San Francisco, June 13. The Japan ese residents of San Francisco, it is ?said, intend to demand an indemnity of the United States government for the -alleged attack upon the Horseshoe res taurant and other acts of violence which they say have been inflicted upon them. They hope also by bringing diplomatic pressure to bear upon the government . at Washington to suppress anti-Japan- ese agitation in California. This, it is eald, was the aim of Count Noda'a re- cent visit to Viscount Aoki, ambassa- dor at Washington. insurgents Still Fight. Hongkong, June 13. Insurgents 'have attacked the village of Yung - Chung, in the prefecture of Wei Chou, where they burned the military yamen. A provincial punitive force went in pur ,..: f ka inanrcrpntii and enmured Bllll V mv Cl ww ' th m n a sanguinary conflict at Pats letan, not far from their stronghold. Ten of the soldiers lost their lives. The viceroy of Canton is considering a sug gestion to open Wei Chou as a treaty port. Boycott on Kosher Maat. Cleveland, June 13.

San Francisco, June 14. A Jury of 12 of Ms peers has declared Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz guilty of the crime of extortion as charged against bim by the Oliver grand jury. The jury was out just one hcur and thirty-five minutes. It elected Charles E. Capp foreman and at once proceeded to an informal ballot. This was cast verbally and stood 11 for conviction and one for acquittal. Mr. Burns, a shoemaker, cast the dissenting vote. Then the 12 men began a discussion of the evidence, which lasted for nearly an hour. At the end of that time the first formal ballot was cast. It was a written ballot and was unanimous for conviction. The jurymen issued this statement to the Associated Press im mediately , after their dismissal by the court. The mayor received the verdict quiet ly and without emotion. He sat at the table talking with his counsel, while a few loyal friends came up and shook him by the hand. Many of the city employes, appointees of Schmitz, were present and they showed the greatest surprise and consternation. Assistant District Attorney Heney. who has Borne the brunt of the battle for the prosecution, was not in the courtroom when the verdict was brought in. Even the prosecution did not expect such a quick decision by the jury, and was unprepared for it. There were no signs of jubilation when the result of the trial was known among the forces of the prosecution. They took their victory quietly. Among the crowd were heard expres sions of satisfaction that justice had been done, but they were mingled with words of regret that Schmitz, who had played such a gallant part during the re and earthquake, had succumbed to the influence that had brought about bis conviction of felony. Sentence will be pronounced June 27. MAY HAVE DISPUTE AT HAGUE. Japanese Scheme Of Aggression Op posed by America. New York, June 14. A Vienna dis patch to the Herald quotes a delegate to The Hague conference, said to be the epresentative of a great power, as de claring that Japan is to hurl a bomb iuiu me uuiiiertuvw uy ui nigiug iuibiuu it.. u.. i J the question of rit-ht of a conqueror to Montana ; aooui zju.uuu acres witn annex territory subjugated with all that drwn for an addition to the Madison is upon it. This will be warmly denied by both Ruesia and the United States, the lerald'a informant is quoted as saying. The Russians have large private prop erties in Manchuria, and the United States considerable mining and other interests In Corea. Of such interests Japan proposes to deprive them. At all events, that is to be the object of her pioposition. The United States proposes to bring a motion diametrically opposed to that of Japan, and this, in view of the pres ent existing controversy between Japan and America, it is eacy to see has all the makings of a first-class internation al row.

That the Japanese-Pacific Coast and the Pro gressives, a political party of Jap anese, have entered into an alliance which has the ear-marks of an Inter national conspiracy, with the over throw of the present ministry in Ja pan and the annulment of the clause In the immigration bill excluding Japanese coolie labor from continen tal Unl'ed States, as the ultimate ob Jects, was learned authoritatively nere.

What looked like a field day for Mayor Schmitz In his trial for extortion, was transformed by a sudden coup of Francis J. Heney Into a distinct victory for the prosecution. With both Schmitz and Ruef on the stand, the day was replete with sensations, but capping all was the neatly laid trap into which the defense made a precipitous fall. The trap was care fully laid, even to the point where the Mayor himself unknowingly sprung in. When Mr. Heney announced that the prosecution had completed its case, the defense, thinking that the danger from Ruef had passed, de cided to put Schmitz on the stand. The Mayor, accordingly, appeared in his own behalf and, regarding Ruef as no longer a menace, rushed ahead with bis denials. He reached the point on cross-examintion where Mr. Heney asked him if he had received any of the money paid to Ruef by the French restaurants, and, despite the warnings from his own attorney. Schmitz answered in the negative. In so doing he played completely into the hands of the prosecution, not only by laying a basis for the introduction of the testimony of Ruef in rebuttal, but by passing the entire extortion up to Ruef In such a manner that the captive boss will eagerly refute the testimony by de claring that he paid half the money, or $2500, to Schmitz. Both Mr. Heney and Mr. Burns were confident last night, and well satisfied with the turn of events. "We look for conviction," said Mr. Heney. "We believe we have proved our case." FIGHTING AGAIN.

'JAPANESE PLOT FULLY UNMASKED Official Reports of Takahashi Coo firm Rumen. Aokl Opposed Demands of Pregess Ive Party, Fearing War if American Immigration Law Was Opposed Takahashi Now Gone to Japan to Arouso Public Opinion. Washington, June 11. Thousands of dollars are being raised by the Japanese of the Pacific Coast to carry out the compact they have entered into with the Progressive party of Japan for the overthrow of the Sal on.) i ministry, the annulment of the exclusion clause In the immigration bill and the guarantee of the natural ization rights of the Japanese resid ing in this country. These additional factors in the international plot were vouched for in semi-official circles last night. The enormous fund which is being collected will be used to arouse a feeling In the Japanese empire antagonistic to the American government. Notwithstanding the sweeping de nial of the existence of the alliance between the Japanese of the Pacific Coast and the Progressives, the anti administration party of Japan, given out by Charles Takahashi, of Seattle, the Associated Press secured the text of certain reports which he forward ed to M. Yamaoka in Seattle and the Japanese Society of Seattle. In one of the reports, which, It was authoritatively stated, was afterward read by M. Takahashi at a secret mass meeting of Japanese In Seattle on the evening of May 26, he quoted Ambassador Aoki's statement in re gard to the relations between the United States and Japan growing out of the recent disturbances in San Francisco and the adoption by the congress of the United States of tha immigration law excluding coolie labor from Continental, United States. Takahashl's report in part Is as fol lows: "My object In discussing the Jap anese Immigration limitation law with Ambassador Aokl was: "First The nullification of the present immigration limitation law: "Second Opposing the would-be immigration law (proposed new treaty) said to be contemplated by Japan and the United States. Third Acqulesence In the Jap anese naturalization rights in tne United States." To these discussions Ambassador Aoki said: "Japan has ample grounds to op pose the immigration limitation law. but, if we go to extremes, I fear war. Regarding this Japanese limitation law, the Japanese government abso lutely disagrees with the United States and will ask the naturaliza tion rights for the Japanese people. which the United States government will have eventually to grant. At present the re-election of a president is nearing, America so far hesitating at this time to bring up these ques tions, which are unpopular in Amer ican politics." KUROKI SAYS NO WAR. Ridiculous to Think of Any Serious Trouble Over Small Matter. Seattle, Wash., June 11. General Baron Kuroki, who represented the Japanese Emperor at the Jamestown Exposition, declared here shortly be fore sailing on the Kaka Maru for home, that no danger of war exists between America and Japan. "The friendship that has existed for 20 years cannot be broken by such an incident as that at San Fran cisco," he said "There will be no war between Japan and America in my lifetime or in your lifetime. There may be momentary flurries and soma excitement engendered, but nothing serious will come of It. The senti ment of friendship between the two countries Is too deeply seated among the people to allow a small matter to provoke an open rupture." More Loss In Bay City. San Francisco, June 11.
