Washington, Oct. 8.— Immigration of Japanese into America is increasing at so alarming a rate that it has been determined to adopt extraordinary measures to prevent the introduction into the United States not only of Jap anese, but of other Asiatic coolie labor One result of the trip of Secretary Straus has been to increase the force of immigration inspectois along the Cana disn border, with ■ view to controlling the flood of Asiatic immigration. It is known that more than double the number of Japanese have come into the United Stater thus far in the year 1907 than tame here during the same period last year. Natuially, the figures of the government do not include the hundreds of Japanese who have come into the country surreptitiously. Th*y have come across from the Canadian and Mexican borders, principally with out hindrance,! despite the means adopted by the government to prevent the introduction of Japanese laborers For many months the government has had immigration commissioners in Mexico and Canada. In practically every instance, the inspectors have re ported that the Japanese who reach Canada or Mexico are bound for the United States. Inquiries in the Ha waiian islands have revealed organiza tions whose business it is to procure Japanese laborers to work in the Unit ed States. They not only provide the means, but pave the way by which Japaneee may easily obtain entrance to this country through Mexico and Can ada. It is this sort of position that the government proposes to combat. In the appointment ol what principally constitutes a patrol guard of the North ern and Southern borders of the coun try, Secretary Straus hopes to reduce the number of Asiatics who daily are coming across the borders in great and increasing numbers. Returns from the Canadian immigra tion offices show that 8,286 Asiatics landed at the British Columbia ports of Victoria and Vancouver between Janu ary 1 and September 18, 1907. Of this number 2,872 were Hindus and 4811 Japanese, most of the latter reaching Canada from Honolulu. The remain ing were Chinese, who paid adtniseion fees of $100 for the privilege of landing in Canada. The field of labor in that section of Canada is limited, and the Investigations of the United Statee im migration inspectors have shown that most cf the lapanese and Chinese ex pect ultimately to get into the United Statee, __________________ P R U N E Y I E L D B IG .

Baker City, Oct. 4.— Out of the tan gle of the. ry about the cause of the Brown dynamite murder last Monday night has come the belief that the vic tim met death at the hands of members of the Western Federation of Miners for apparent infidelity to the Federa tion. Officers end detectives working on the trail of the murderer say they have evidence that Brown wae paid Federation money to testify in behalf of Adams and do other woik for the miners. His relations with the foes o! the Federation are supposed to have aroused suspicion and marked him for slaughter. So much for the murder motive. Ae for capturing the murde'er, not much progress seems to have been made. The assassin left ae a clew only his smell in the earth where he lay to put thedyna mite wire, and the emell is growing fainter, so that it will probably not further lead the bloodhounds. But because the dogs picked up the fresh scent yesterday and because the county jail was visited in the ear y dark Thursday morning by two men seeking to bribe the lone prisoner to poison the dogs or cut their throate, the assassin is thought to be near by.

Ford defense to the questioning of Miss Celia McDermott, Ford’s steno grapher. The court having ruled, the examination of Miss McDermott was resumed, hut it brought out nothing of value to either side Miss McDermott declared that she “ tended to her own business and knew nothing else.” The prosecution called George Fran cis, chief clerk in the law department of the United Railroads, and assistant to Ford. Htf was asked by Mr. Heney whether he had not in May of 1906 seen on top of Ford’s rolltop desk two long narrow packages of bank notes. He denied it. He eaid the name of Abraham Ruef was not on the payroll of the company’s law department, nor were there on the payroll any “ John Does” or “ Richard Roes.” The prosecution called for the books of the United Railroads, and the de fense made a vigorous and prolonged effort to keep them out of court, on the score tHat they were unwilling to have them subjected to the inspection of Rudolph Spreckles, who was character ized by Rogers as the company’s finan cial and personal enemy. Judge Law lor ruled that tiie hooks be produced and assured the defense that the prose cution would conclude its case this af ternoon, with the exception of the tes timony of Abe Ruef, who w ill be called tomorrow morning.
