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

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.

San Francisco, Oct. 2.— That infor
mation imparted by an employer to a
stenographer is not confidential under
the provisions of the political code
when it relates to the proposed com
mission of fraud or crime was decided
yesterday by Judge Lawlor, in overrui
ing an objection interposed by the Tirey
L. 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

timony of Abe Ruef, who w ill be called
