Japanese Reds Cannot Long Maintain
Anarchist Paper.
San Francisco, Jan. 4. Tho caso of
T. Takeuchi, of Berkeley, publisher of
tho Revolution, will bo reported to the
government at Tokio by Japanese Con
sul General Uyeno.
"Wo will mako a report of tho Ta
keuchi incident to Tokio," Baid Secre
tary Oyama, of the Japanese consulate
yesterday. "Wo can take no action in
the matter here. It is in tho hands of
tho local authorities, but wo will report
the matter to our government and send
a Copy of tho Revolution to Tokio. I(
think there will be no second issue of
t o publication. It is a publication
that must cost some money to get out,
and tho half dozen or so young men
who are associated with Takeuchi in
the publication cannot bo very flush of
funds."
United States Commissioner of Im
migration Hart II. North has been
quietly gathering evidence against
Takeuchi. Ho will forward tho re
sults of his investigations to Washing
ton: If arrests are to bo mado ordors
will bo sent to North.
